The Narcissistic Spirit, mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:2-4 and Matthew 24:24, is a malevolent entity that seeks to control and manipulate our lives through self-importance, pride, and arrogance. It is a manifestation of Satan's power and is characterized by its ability to deceive and lead us away from God's truth. In this sermon , we will explore how the Narcissistic Spirit affects our lives, how it destroys our lives, and how to cast it out using the blood of Jesus. We will also provide Bible declarations to destroy the Narcissistic Spirit in our lives.
How it affects our lives:
1. Self-Importance (Proverbs 16:18): The Narcissistic Spirit fills us with self-importance, causing us to prioritize ourselves over others and God.
2. Pride and Arrogance (Proverbs 16:18): It leads us to pride and arrogance, causing us to exalt ourselves above God and others.
3. Manipulation and Control (2 Timothy 3:2-4): The Narcissistic Spirit manipulates and controls us, causing us to use others for our own gain.
4. Fear and Anxiety (1 John 4:18): It uses fear and anxiety to control us, making us unable to move forward in our lives.
How it destroys our lives:
1. Spiritual Death (Genesis 2:17): The Narcissistic Spirit leads us away from God's truth and into spiritual death.
2. Separation from God (Isaiah 59:2): It causes us to be separated from God, leading us to live in darkness and sin.
3. Destruction (Matthew 7:13-14): The Narcissistic Spirit seeks to destroy our lives and our relationships with God and others.
How to cast it out:
1. Recognize and Resist (James 4:7-8): Recognize the Narcissistic Spirit's influence and resist its deception.
2. Seek God's Truth (John 8:32): Seek God's truth and His Word, which is the antidote to the Narcissistic Spirit's deception.
3. Humble Yourself (1 Peter 5:6-7): Humble yourself before God, recognizing your need for His deliverance and protection.
4. Seek Deliverance (Matthew 17:21): Seek deliverance through prayer, fasting, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Bible declarations to destroy the Narcissistic Spirit:
1. "I cast out the Narcissistic Spirit and its influence over my life, in Jesus' name!" (Matthew 12:24)
2. "I declare the blood of Jesus over my life, protecting me from the Narcissistic Spirit's destruction!" (Revelation 12:11)

The Narcissistic Spirit is a dangerous entity that seeks to destroy our lives and our relationships with God and others. However, through recognizing its influence, seeking God's truth, humbling ourselves, and seeking deliverance, we can cast it out of our lives using the blood of Jesus. May God bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you, now and forevermore. Amen.
