Many times, the battle comes from other people. Often, it seems it is people coming against you, judging you, speaking against you. When these things happen, keep your eyes on God and know that it is the enemy working through them. While it is sad that they are allowing themselves to be used of the devil, it is still the devil behind it. 
He is trying to stop you – he is trying to get your eyes on the people attacking you – so that you get your eyes off the word of God. Keep your focus. Keep your eyes on Jesus. And remember, it is the enemy, not the person. Turn the tables on the enemy – begin to pray for that person and ask God to surround them with the goodness of God, for it is the goodness of God that brings man to repentance! Focus on God’s goodness and His promises to you
