You are not to prepare your defense before hand.

"They will seize and persecute you."  (Luke 21: 12)

When you contemplate the signs of the times, do you see signs that the age of comfortable Christianity is over?  Are you ready?

The warning of Jesus is full of foreboding but they are also full of comfort.  Don’t worry about what to say when you are handed over to civilian authorities.  The battle we face are not against flesh and blood.  We square off against principalities and powers, high ranking officers in the army of Satan.  (Ephesians 6: 12)  Armor of flesh will be completely useless.  We will be equipped with the weapons forged in heaven which will dismantle satanic strongholds.  (2 Corinthians 10: 4)

The battle is not yours but the Lord's.  (2 Chronicles 20: 15)  Therefore do not be afraid.
