Difficult Relationships - Christian Wisdom for Life's Toughest Ties

If the Devil Can’t Get to You, He’ll Send a Narcissist—6 Tactics He Uses to Destroy You

Why This Battle Feels Different

  • You’ve locked every door, secured every window, and set every alarm—but what do you do when Judas is already inside the house?
  • This isn’t just a difficult relationship; it’s a spiritual attack.
  • The enemy knows your weak points, and when he can’t reach you directly, he’ll send someone who already has the keys—a narcissist.
  • The tactics they use aren’t just harmful; they’re designed to steal, kill, and destroy.

6 Demonic Tactics the Enemy Uses Through the Narcissist

🔥 Confusion and Doubt

  • Gaslighting, twisting truth, and making you second-guess yourself.
  • You over-explain, over-apologize, and start believing if you “fix” yourself, things will get better.
  • Truth: God is not a God of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33).

💔 Emotional Wounds

  • They trigger past betrayals, insecurities, and pain, keeping you focused on hurt rather than healing.
  • Truth: God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3).

🌿 Bitterness and Resentment

  • They hurt you repeatedly, making unforgiveness feel justified.
  • But bitterness doesn’t trap them—it traps you.
  • Truth: Let go of all bitterness and forgive as Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:31-32).

⚔️ Spiritual Confusion

  • They plant doubts: If God is for you, why are you still stuck here?
  • They twist scripture and use faith to manipulate.
  • Truth: Ask God for wisdom, and He will give it generously (James 1:5).

🚪 Isolation

  • They cut you off from friends, family, and support systems.
  • They smear your reputation, making it hard for others to believe your reality.
  • Truth: God will strengthen and uphold you (Isaiah 41:10).

🎯 Distraction from Purpose

  • They keep you entangled in chaos, draining your energy and burying your God-given gifts.
  • Truth: The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy—but Jesus came to give life abundantly (John 10:10).

How to Break Free

Pray – This is your greatest weapon. Ask God for strength, discernment, and protection. Exodus 14:14: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Set Boundaries – Protect your heart, mind, and spirit from their influence.
Trust God’s Justice – Let go of revenge and control. God sees everything and will act in His perfect timing.

If you see these signs, you're being fooled by a "nice" narcissist.

The "Nice" Narcissist: How They Fool You

Why They’re So Hard to Spot

  • They appear charming, polite, and agreeable—making them seem like the last person who could be toxic.
  • Their public persona is drastically different from who they are behind closed doors.
  • They make you feel safe, lighthearted, and cared for—until they don’t.
  • The truth? Nice doesn’t mean good—it doesn’t mean they’re godly, loyal, or trustworthy.

The Deceptive Traits of the “Nice” Narcissist

  1. Selective Helpfulness
    • Their help seems genuine at first but later feels conditional—designed to keep you dependent.
    • Instead of empowering you, their “help” leaves you feeling emotionally drained and indebted.
    • They use kindness strategically—to be seen as the “good one” while keeping you reliant on them.
  2. Performative Empathy
    • They know how to act empathetic—using the right words and body language to seem caring.
    • Their empathy is a performance, not genuine. They mimic emotions like an actor memorizing lines.
    • This creates a trauma bond—you keep waiting for the “real” them to show up, but they never do.
  3. Strategic Support
    • They encourage you only when it serves their agenda.
    • Once your growth threatens their control, their support fades—or turns into subtle sabotage.
    • They make passive-aggressive comments like:
      • “Don’t forget who helped you get here.”
      • “Must be nice to have time for that while I’m doing everything else.”
    • Their support was never about you—it was about maintaining power and control.
  4. Shallow Connection
    • They make you feel seen and understood at first, but their connection is always transactional.
    • They mirror your emotions and interests to create an illusion of intimacy.
    • But when you try to deepen the connection, they withdraw, deflect, or change the subject.
    • This keeps you chasing a connection they’re incapable of giving.

Why It’s So Hard to Walk Away

  • The “nice” narcissist genuinely believes they are a loving, caring person.
  • Their charm disarms you, their kindness hooks you, and their support keeps you reliant.
  • They manipulate not with overt cruelty, but with subtle control.

How to Break Free

Trust your discernment—If their kindness leaves you feeling confused or trapped, it’s a red flag.
Set boundaries—Protect your emotional and mental space.
Seek godly counsel—Turn to Scripture and trusted advisors for wisdom.
Invest in transformational relationships—Choose people who show up consistently and genuinely.

8 Demonic Ways Narcissists Mess with Your Mind

Ever feel like something is off in your relationship—like a hidden danger lurking beneath the surface? Narcissists use subtle yet devastating tactics to manipulate and control, leaving you disoriented and trapped.

  • 🔥 Gaslighting: Making you doubt your reality.
  • 🎭 Emotional Manipulation: Using guilt and fear to control you.
  • 🚪 Isolation: Cutting you off from support systems.
  • 🔄 Mixed Messages: Keeping you confused and dependent.
  • ⚠️ False Accusations: Shifting blame onto you.
  • 💔 Love-Bombing & Devaluation: Creating an emotional rollercoaster.
  • 🚫 No Accountability: Dodging responsibility at all costs.
  • 😨 Fear & Intimidation: Keeping you walking on eggshells.

A Spiritual Battle for Your Mind

Narcissists target your mind because the enemy knows that everything begins there. If they can create confusion, self-doubt, and spiritual disconnection, they’ve succeeded in controlling you.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to stay stuck. Recognize these tactics for what they are—tools of the enemy—and arm yourself with the truth of God’s Word.
