ONLY THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE: Many years ago, in the mid 80,s, the Lord had me preach a series of messages on this topic! It means, only those who are strong spiritually, in their relationship with God, will survive the pressure that satan is going to be putting on them! Jesus said, as found in the Book of John Chapter 16 verse 33, “In this world you will have tribulation…” The word “tribulation” in the original Greek text is, “thilpsis” which means “pressure!” Have you ever been under so much pressure that you thought you were going to go crazy, or lose your mind, or give up, or give in? Satan can put so much pressure on a person that they give up their relationship with God or give in finally to going back into the world or back to life styles and evil behavior that God brought them out of years or months before. In the letter written to the Galatian Christians, the Apostle Paul says, “Who caused you to stumble? Who caused you to go backwards, to trip you up or cause you to backslide?” Good question? What is it that causes people to go back into the life they once lived before they were a Christian? It’s satan! He knows our weaknesses. He knows how to get to us! Whatever your weakness is, satan knows about it and he’s going to work on you repeatedly until you either give in to him or resist him until he leaves you alone (temporarily, of course)! Satan is never going to leave us alone! He knows our weaknesses and is going to test us and tempt us until we give in to him or successfully resist him! Remember, in these Last Days of mankind on the earth, ONLY THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE!!!
