Critics announce to you that you have just attained your next level; that you have been noticed; at least you have not been ignored. So learn whatever truth you can garner from their words and move on. And as for your die-hard critics, your brilliancy is exposing their impotency; your truth is revealing their weakness and your rise stirs up their dismay cz they never thought you would.

If they did it to Jesus sure they would whip you hard in the same manner but you have to raise your head after every lash and say "thanks but no thanks, ama du better than this next time." Develop the habit of having fun watching them criticize you while they think they are the ones having fun.... You are just more than them because they probably are shocked how you could achieve so much in a short time when it took them months/years to achieve even half of yours.

They forgot that grace differ... Rom 12:3... And it's not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the LORD

In other words, never criticize.

Yet Jesus was heavily critical of the religious leaders of his day. See Matthew 23.

John the Baptist died because he dared to critique Herod.

Steven was stoned to death because he critique the Jews.

Paul critiqued false prophets of his time. He called them dogs in Philippians 3.

John critiqued a Pastor, Diotrephus, and commanded the saints to never imitate him.

The core of Jesus' words in his letters to the churches in Rev. were heavily critical.

Where did this morbid fear of criticism come from in Christendom today?

It came from falsehood that abounds in church today. I dare say no other time in Christian history demand more critical analysis of gospel preaching than now.

Again, there is only one reason anyone would fear a critic and that is if he has something to hide. He that is in the light fears not light shining on him; except he is in darkness.

Friend, forget that New Age thinking that discourages criticism. It had no example in the bible.
