7 Demonic Doors Opened in YOUR Life Through Narcissists

tempting to blame the narcissist after all they are the Trojan Horse the problem is is that first Peter 5'8 reminds us that we are to be sober minded Be watchful because your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour so today I want to talk to you about the seven demonic doors that can be opened in your life through this narcissistic relationship and how to slam it shut in the mighty name of Jesus well hey my friend welcome back to another edition of the building faith podcast which is my hope to bring you biblical solutions to Life's tough challenges so if you're not already subscribed go ahead and hit that subscribe and notification button door number one is suspicion when someone that you should be able to count on trust in rely upon betrays you man that hits to the core it leads you to think well if I can't trust my parents or my partner who can I trust and you begin to view others through the lens of Suspicion look I get it you're tainted but I want to encourage you not to allow the enemy to use a spirit of Suspicion to destroy the possibility of any Healthy Future relationships and this doesn't mean that you override your god-given discernment and just trust everyone that would be foolish but rather allow God to show you who you can and can't trust trust by leaning on him and waiting to see what fruit they produce number two is confusion if there is one certain quality that narcissists develop within their victims that's confusion your desire to resolve conflict and grow in relationship is met instead with an onslaught of underhanded accusations and backhanded belittlement it's enough to leave you bewildered wondering how they're just not understanding what you're saying well it's not that they don't understand is that they don't care and that's confusing because you're confusing some of their fake self-serving interactions with genuine interest in the relationship my friend God is not the author of confusion believe his promises and respond promptly to his commands and confusion will loosen its grip on you number three is an identity crisis whether it's listening to their damaging words or just spending all of your focus on meeting their narcissistic needs narcissistic relationships are a Sure Fire way to live below your potential and over the years I've encountered many narcissistic survivors who say I don't even know who I am and if you're not grounded in Christ they can wreak havoc on your self-esteem so what's the solution turn your focus to what God says about you despite what the narcissist says despite whether you believe God's word or not immerse yourself in scriptures like Psalm 1391 13-16 and Ephesians 2:10 until it begins to drown out all of those narcissistic lies don't fool yourself though my friend this will be a battle as the enemy will want to pull you back into that old toxic thinking keep fighting my friend and number three definitely opens the door to number four and that's codependency codependency is an unhealthy attachment and Reliance on others to get your needs met it's like you can't be okay unless they're okay with you and in codependent relationships you rely on each other instead of God as romantic as that may sound in movies it is highly destructive in healthy relationships and Satan is a master at getting you to look to others for your needs and then calling it love and codependence are classic mood mind monitors they Pride themselves on feeling others feelings my friend this is not a superpower this is a demonic Distortion to what healthy interdependent relationships should look like and if you are struggling with codependency please know that you're not alone it is such a prevalent problem even in the body of Christ and that's why I created my conquering codependency biblically online course I'll go ahead and include a link in the description below number five is trauma bonding worst thing codependency trauma bonding is when you as the victim develop a deep sense of affection empathy and sympathy for your abuser and this form of bonding isn't positive and like codependency it's the devil's counterfeit for healthy interdependent relationships now a trauma bonded person can actually see their abusers actions as love and the enemy is hard at work in this dynamic as it plays on our intrinsic need for attachment and validation but there is hope because if you are in Christ there is no devil in hell or narcissistic person on earth that is more powerful than our God allow him to break that bond by reforming your attachment to him and to him alone and you may also benefit from professional help and we've connected with faithful counseling to help you find the right counselor for you you so I'll go ahead

situation number six is maladaptive Behavior it begs to reason that if a narcissist has maladaptive behaviors over time you can learn to respond with equal albeit different types of poor relationship skills and if you've chosen to stay with a Nar narcissist and are completely submitted to the lordship of Jesus Christ my friend you will develop unhealthy behaviors to cope but coping and thriving are not the same it's not uncommon for partners or children of narcissistic abusers to develop survival behaviors ranging from substance abuse to victim like thinking and you may even find yourself being manipulative and using guilt as a weapon or adopting un healthy forms of avoidance granted it's impossible to have healthy relationships when one of the two people are toxic but I want you to be careful not to fall into the Trap of exchanging evil for evil and number seven is narcissism yes if you're not careful being in a narcissistic relationship for a considerable amount of time can actually make you susceptible to becoming narcissistic yourself and don't hear what I'm not saying this isn't a guarantee but the devil is Sly in this way as he gets you to focus all of your attention and learning about narcissism and staying stuck in self-pitying a victim mindset he keeps you stuck in these patterns of focusing on yourself and what the damage is to your life instead of focusing on growing in the Lord see now your life becomes all about you you are either now a CO overt victim or an overt power taker oh look they ruined my life or I'm getting my power back both of these mindsets leave God out of the equation my friend I've only touched on a few so far what other demonic doors do you see opened in narcissistic relationships let me know in the comments below want to learn the
