silence critics

When people begin to despise you for the way you live by faith, do as Jesus, and just continue to bless people. Continue to pray for those who are oppressed by the devil, and get their deliverance. Continue to lay hands on the sick, and get healing. Continue to do what God has called you to do. This will upset the devil, because its primary purpose is to make you ineffective for the kingdom of God. He wants you to be absorbed by the critics. He wants to entertain you away from the work that God has given you. He wants you to give up. Do not do it! Instead, follow the instructions in 2 Timothy 3:14 but continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured. Reduce to silence critics ignorant men, continuing to do well and continue to live by faith. And when all their foolish words have faded, yet you remain strong.
