This behavior mirrors the biblical description of evil, which seeks to &#8220;steal, kill, and destroy&#8221; (John 10:10). They are often repulsed by genuine humility and godliness, viewing them as weaknesses.<span class=\"uJ19be notranslate\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-wiz-uids=\"PYVAzf_p,PYVAzf_q\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\"><span class=\"vKEkVd\" data-animation-atomic=\"\" data-wiz-attrbind=\"class=PYVAzf_o\/TKHnVd\" data-processed=\"true\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><button class=\"rBl3me\" tabindex=\"0\" data-amic=\"true\" data-icl-uuid=\"f42fa38e-e8b8-4a5b-8a3d-0754e41fe08d\" aria-label=\"View related links\" data-wiz-attrbind=\"disabled=PYVAzf_o\/C5gNJc;aria-label=PYVAzf_o\/bOjMyf;class=PYVAzf_o\/UpSNec\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwjFqZLOyN6TAxXNEEQIHeASOLIQye0OegQIAxAB\" data-hveid=\"CAMQAQ\" data-processed=\"true\"><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"Fsg96\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"otQkpb\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" data-animation-nesting=\"\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\">2.

They twist reality (gaslighting) to cause confusion and demoralization, mirroring the biblical description of Satan as the &#8220;father of all lies&#8221; (John 8:44). Their primary goal is to hide their true nature while portraying themselves as righteous, even while committing atrocities.<\/div>\n<div class=\"Fsg96\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"otQkpb\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" data-animation-nesting=\"\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\">3.

They believe they can &#8220;own&#8221; or &#8220;possess&#8221; others, forcing them to act as puppets, which mirrors the demonic desire to control human souls. They are often obsessed with power and admiration, demanding to be worshipped.<span class=\"uJ19be notranslate\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-wiz-uids=\"PYVAzf_1c,PYVAzf_1d\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\"><span class=\"vKEkVd\" data-animation-atomic=\"\" data-wiz-attrbind=\"class=PYVAzf_1b\/TKHnVd\" data-processed=\"true\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"Fsg96\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"otQkpb\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" data-animation-nesting=\"\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\">4.

This tactic mirrors Revelation 12:10, which describes the enemy as the &#8220;accuser of our brothers&#8221; who accuses day and night. They rewrite history to ensure they are never at fault, attempting to destroy the victim&#8217;s sanity, reputation, and reality.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"news\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1775647904\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Are Narcissists Demonically Controlled?\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We hear this so much these days\u2014the term &#8220;narcissist.&#8221; It&#8217;s especially prevalent in the social media of our young.\u00a0Is there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-82025","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"entry"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82025"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82026,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82025\/revisions\/82026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
