God will defend His people when the enemy comes against us. It is important in these times of intimidation in an unsaved environment that we don't gossip or allow bitterness to take root in our hearts. God wants His people to be unmoved by the powers of darkness so we will be strengthened to reflect to others His Character. God will pour out an anointing of grace and supplications to stand face to face against the enemy's pressure and He will enable us to pray for our persecutors.
