“Despise not prophesyings.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬

Jesus never gave the idea that he expected Christians to be weak and soft, he had promised us persecutions:
“And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left… for my sake, and the gospel’s, but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time… persecutions…” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭29‬-‭30‬, 2 Timothy 3:12
But he assured us not to worry, or let them bother us:
“…In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” ‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬‬‬
The word of God tells us:
“…I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬
He expects us to be strong, having the word of God abiding in us, so no matter the external pressure, we remain unmoved:
“God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved…”‭‭Psalm‬ ‭46‬:‭5‬
He expects us to fight the good fight and war a good warfare, not cower in flight at the slightest challenge, but insist on the word of God; the words of prophecy and win! Be strong!!!
