To protect yourself or someone you love from a manipulative controlling person or abusive group, patience is important. When speaking to those who are already under evil influence, it is crucial to exercise patience, kindness, and respect, to state truths of greater importance. (Proverbs 19:11) A wise man controls his anger and overlooks insults to achieve a much higher goal.
(Matthew 7:6) Instructs us to cast not pearls before swine. In other words, do not offer things of value to one who will not appreciate them. For they will trample the pearls and turn and attack you!
There are many people under social and political influence of leaders who use cult like mind control schemes. They are persuaded by these evil methods. Any attempt to talk them out of their damnation, is like casting pearls before swine. Being controlled by leaders devoid of self-awareness who themselves are socially bankrupt. They are under the control of the devil that no longer struggles to remain unseen. Operating like reactionary adolescents that cannot be compared to social and political predators of the past. Yet their antics to convert people seem to work on those who seek inclusion into these factions of hate and hero worship. By description, cults believe they have special knowledge available only to a select few. They become entrenched in their views as if being singularly aware of some truth.
The children of God are called to speak soft truth to the narcissist with power and control over their followers. With the patience to overlook their insults and the restraint over our anger, much can be accomplished for the Kingdom of God. The importance of patience is key to gain an advantage over the unwise. (Revelation 3:11) Tells us that HE is coming soon; hold on to what we have, that no one will take our crown.
Pride does not bend; therefore, there shall be no mercy for the proud. The predictability of their ways is hereby broken. Do not nod in agreement with anything against the principles of God. Never be browbeaten into an endorsement of wickedness.
The power of God’s mercy is greater than any offense. HE rejects the proud and power is given to the meek. The power to understand that which was never told, hear secrets never spoken, and see covered wounds of the heart.
Be patient, the popularity of evil leaders will decline soon. A mind governed by the flesh leads to death.
It is important that we do not play a role in steering people away from God’s Kingdom. A mind governed by the spirit leads to life and peace. Our life should create a path that inspires others to follow God.
