If you have come to the place in your walk with the Lord where you are willing to be sacrificed as a martyr for His sake, I commend you. Yet, your position may be compromised by factors to which you haven't given adequate consideration.

We are part of a community, with friends, neighbors, and family, and we, therefore, have certain obligations to each other. Our natural instinct is along the line of the strong protecting and providing for the weak and disadvantaged, of fathers and mothers protecting their children, and husbands their wives. What are we to do when our own willingness to be martyred conflicts with our natural inclinations, putting those at risk who might be depending on us? What do we do in circumstances where we ourselves or those we have obligations toward are threatened and it's not a matter of being persecuted for Jesus' sake? What, if any, measures might be taken to protect ourselves and others from those who pose a threat?

These are questions that beg answers. We're going to try to help you answer for yourselves.
