Have you noticed how different a day it is for Conservatives now here in the West?
One has to be ready for anything, even persecution from evil people and forces at work against Conservative Christians in Western Nations these days.
The levels of corruption from the Liberals' here in Texas with the H1B that's become a big scam here in the USA is also human trafficking to flood the system -- to flood this nation with pagan Muslims that want to destroy us You often say so. With the flooding of Muslims into Western countries so the citizen taxpayers have a burden too heavy to carry. And the Muslims are slaughtering the Nigerian Christians in Africa as well. They kidnapped the young girls and raped them and forced them to become Muslims. I'm glad to see the evil heads of cartels in Mexico getting wiped out. The leaders of the EU and of Slovakia are fighting against President Viktor Orbán in Hungary.
There's an election coming up over in Hungary and the corrupt EU leaders really want Viktor Orbán "out for good," cuz he's a Conservative so they've cut off all oil from Russia into Hungary. They told him that the EU is voting on this so, so that it will permanently be that way it is for Hungary -- cut off, from all oil after the election. That whole EU bureaucracy is so evil -- they are destroying Western Europe but the head of the EU stays evil -- she was never voted in herself.
Believers in Nigeria, and those injustices deserve sober prayer, truthful reporting, and wise advocacy for justice. At the same time, it helps to separate verified facts from sweeping claims about whole peoples or nations, responding with discernment, courage, and Christlike love rather than fear-driven conclusions.
How can Christian conservatives in these different nations begin to deal with this uniquie onslaught of persecution like with those Muslim, rape gangs in the UK. Liberals and Rinos are trying to destroy Westerners like never before. It's time for cities, for nations and primarily for individuals to one by one turn to the Christ of the Bible (with repentance and faith) to get right with God, the Father.
Christian conservatives in these different nations can deal with the onslaught of persecution of Muslim, rape, gangs and liberals trying to destroy them and their Nations.

Create an exhaustive specific list of how Christians dealt with such evils by prayer and acting wisely. A list of Bible verses and passages that show Christians overcoming
Let's desire the Lord and His righteousness more than ever before, safety for your friends (protection), and real faithfulness to Christ. It's not really strange for believers. The New Testament assumes believers will face hostility, injustice, and cultural opposition, yet calls them to respond not with fear or hatred but with holy courage, truth, lawful action, and Christlike love that overcomes evil with good (Romans 12:17–21).
Below is a biblically grounded, comprehensive framework—drawn from Scripture and church history—showing how Christians have dealt wisely with persecution, violence, corruption, and hostile ideologies while remaining faithful to Christ and effective in society.
NEED A STRATEGY, CHRISTIAN, FOR FACING PERSECUTION, INJUSTICE, AND FIERCE HOSTILITY TODAY?
1. Begin With Personal Repentance and Holiness
Before confronting societal evil, Scripture calls believers to examine their own hearts and walk in holiness.
Why: Spiritual authority flows from a clean conscience before God -- easy. Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. It's a yoke a Lordship.
How Christians overcame: Revivals historically began with repentance, not politics.

Psalm 66:18 – “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear.”
-
2 Chronicles 7:14 – Humble, pray, seek God’s face, turn from wicked ways.

1 Peter 1:15–16 – “Be holy, for I am holy.”
-
James 4:7–10 – Submit to God, resist the devil, draw near to God.

-
