Today in church, I heard a great sermon at Grace Church in Gladstone, Michigan.
Tactics Satan uses to deceive:
1. Gets you to doubt the truth.
2. Distorts the truth.
3. Appeals to something you want or desire.
4. Convinces you that nothing bad will happen if you go for what you want.
Satan's intention:. Destroy everything that resembles God, including mankind created in God's image. Destroy what God created. Destroy the inner being of what God created in His creatures. Creating fear and intimation to destroy God's peace.
The sermon was based on Genesis 2 and 3.
Tactics of Narcissists:
1. Gets you to doubt the truth.
2. Distorts the truth.
3. Appeals to you with charm.
4. Convinces you that nothing bad will happen.
After all this, they will use these tactics to win you over to them, and manipulate you and control you. The charm wears off, they hurt you, instill fear in you, they destroy your inner being, and use fear to get what they want. They reduce you to nothing.
Do you see the similarly? Did you ever experience the feeling that you were dealing with the devil himself? Toxic people are following their father who is the devil. Don't be deceived by their charm. Don't be deceived by their lies and distortions of the truth. Get as far away from them as possible. If you feel trapped, seek escape. I will be praying for you.
