9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
I just want to clarify something here, do these christian has these "literal" enemies? Sino ang tatawagin mong kaaway? Yung taong hindi kaayo ayo sa iyo? Yung taong kinakaritahan mo? yung taong makasalanan? sino? ako'y napagisip isip dahil sa daming verses na binigay, hindi niya makalimutan ang pagtawag sa Diyos dahil sa mga kaaway.
They are many forms of it.
Who are the enemies of God?

The question running through most minds is, "Why do we need chastisement in our lives?" The answer is very simple: to destroy God's enemies in our lives. As was stated before, God has no natural enemies. Satan is not the enemy of God. His power was destroyed on the cross. All the demonic forces on earth are not God's enemy. The demonic forces are only enemies of unregenerate man. We have God's Word the demonic forces only have power and authority in those lives who give them place. Paul warned the Ephesians:
"Neither give place to the devil." Ephesians 4:27It is the carnal mind that is the enemy of God. The word carnal is a very interesting word. Basically it means "flesh or fleshly mind". But the meaning of carnal goes much deeper. It also means "the sensuous nature of man, the animal nature with cravings which incite to sin; the earthly nature of man apart from divine influence, and therefore prone to sin and opposed to God".

There is a clarification that not these men who hates God were the enemies. It is the mind that has been dangerous. it creates the thought of dealing against God and His people. To our earthly nature, we become sinful and with these carnally minded we become an enemy of God.
Yes, God will be our defense. But the difficult part is when and how we will know that we are already against God.This is the part where mind should work. We must think if our deeds and thinking is against God wills. If we thought that material things are better off than the spiritual matter that we tend to choose being materialistic than our spiritual nature.
Yes, we cant get over this matter. I myself could be hard for me to escape with those things. We are really offered with lot of opportunities and with these we forget about Jesus. He cares for our wants and needs but we should always think that in everything we must think first if its the will of God so in the end we will not be called as an enemy of God.
