“If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭24‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Powerful verse. To me, this indicates that you must fortify yourself in advance of persecution. The godly in Christ will suffer it (2 Timothy 3:12). There is no way around it. The Holy Spirit will prepare us to withstand. We must be faithful to what He tells us because He will teach us all things and will show us things to come. (John 14:26, 16:13).
