# Believe Right, Live Right.
Whenever this scripture is read, it's always to be used in what is popularly known as "violent prayers", i.e., "taking everything by force", instead of seeking for Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding of the truth.
Looking into the same scripture in context, we see that Jesus was talking about the "Effect of the Gospel". Previous Prophets never preached like Jesus and John the Baptist, and they never did experience this force of pressing, pushing, rushing, pulling, tugging, stampedes, hauling, dragging, etc, from hearts that have received the truth. When you truly believe the truth, you quickly move in its direction. This is what always happen when the power of the glorious gospel of Christ is unveiled in our preaching.
Many people (i.e., convicted sinners) saw the judgement coming, and desperately were seeking to enter into the "place of safety", and NEVER that the kingdom of darkness was taking things from the kingdom of God. Jesus NEVER even suggested this. The kingdom of darkness can NEVER stand that of Light. NEVER. So, how could darkness/ignorance pluck things from Light/Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding?
# The TimeFrame.
"The law and the prophets WERE UNTIL John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man PRESSETH into it." (Luk 16:16)....
This is the very reason Christ Jesus had to give us a Timeframe of when the law and prophets cease to be preventing people from entering or pressing into the new covenant. THIS PRESSING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEVIL, BUT ONLY WITH THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
# Pressing into Greatness!
~ Why would people be so very energetic or forceful about entering in escaping the wrath of God?
"Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS GREATER THE HE (i.e., the Baptist!)." (Mat 11:11)...
@ Tell me, why won't people press hard to get into This great kingdom of God?! This has nothing to do with the kingdom of darkness, but all to do with the preaching of the kingdom of God from heaven.
@ Tell me, why should anyone not press in into their greatness, after receiving the truth? Knowing this for sure that the gospel won't get to you if it has not first defeated the kingdom of darkness. NEVER AGAIN THINK THE DEVIL HAVE ANY ACCESS TO THIS GREAT KINGDOM OF GOD. He can't take anything away from you, unless you give him or you're ignorant.
~ Why wouldn't everyone Press In?
Within the kingdom of God is Love, Joy, Peace,...
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." (Gal 5:22-24)
The Law of Sin and Death, which the Accuser (the Devil/s) tremendously uses to cast down the mighty men, have no hold over anyone within the kingdom of God. For as long as we work and labour in Love of Christ for one another within the kingdom, this law and prophets have been fulfilled and immediately nullified.
Many are still waiting for that "Day" when the devil will be cast down underneath the Earth (their body and feet), not knowing the dispensation they are in NOW and FOREVER. When you believe right, you will definitely live right.
