When a person is filled with the Holy Spirit they have God's authority dwelling in every part of their body they become possessed by God's power 24/7 everywhere they go. They are ready for any type of situation they may face. They never bow down before any enemy no matter what, because they know who is with them and what He has promised to do in their life. Let's see what happened to Peter and John after the healing of a lame man who used to be at the Temple Gate; "Now as they spoke to the people, the priest, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead." Acts 4.1,2 Peter and John did not accept to be intimidated by those who were against what they were doing. Unfortunately, many people who claim themselves Christians and say they truly believe in God but they are easily intimidated by their problems, by whatever they hear or see. How can bad and evil have more power to influence people than good does? Amazing! Isn't it? But it is true! However, when we are anointed and filled with the Holy Spirit evil finds no room in our life nor can we be frightened by the circumstances around us. No matter what people say or do to destroy you even if the whole world rises against you, you shall not fear them. "When the wicked came against me to eat up me flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell." Psalm 27.2 Therefore, do not be intimidated by anything in this world, unless you don't have the Holy Spirit. If this is your case you shall then seek for Him today.
