The reason of pressure is so to press in and find the Truth that will bring us into more freedom and fellowship with God. There is pressure from the evil one that aims to destroy and there is pressure from the Truth that aims to bring one into Kingdom understanding. We do have to trust that all things work together for good. And also we need to find out with whom we should fellowship and whom we should not. But any pressure that is not met with faith will have the negative response of running and hiding. To meet pressure with faith will enable the next step to be put in place.
