The devil attempts to weaken your support by turning family against you. If he can get others to torment you he may be able to control your emotional reactions thereby causing the believer to sin in their responses.
Proverbs 15:28-29 "28 The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil. 29 The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.…"
Satan placed evil thoughts in the mind of the Pharisees to discredit Christ. The Pharisees accused Christ of doing His miracles by the power of the devil.
If they will do this to our Lord, you can be sure they will do it to us too.
John 15:18-25
Disciples’ Relation to the World
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they followed My word, they will follow yours also.
21 But all these things they will do to you on account of My name because they do not know the One who sent Me."
