VIII. MAIN BODY:
Psalms 109:4 (Amplified Bible)
In return for my love they are my adversaries, but I resort to prayer.
Psalms 109:4 (New International Version)
In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.
Psalms 109:4 (King James Version)
For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
One of the Messianic Psalm that portrays the LORD JESUS CHRIST even before He was revealed as a man. We see JESUS praying for His enemies, even His enemies are crucifying (hurting) Him, in opposite, He was praying for them.
Luke 23:34 (Amplified Bible)
And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they divided His garments and distributed them by casting lots for them.
A. For GOD's love, men became adversaries
"For my love they are my adversaries:"
Adversaries or "satan" in Hebrew meaning: to attack, accuse, adversary, resist.
Philippians 3:18 (Amplified Bible)
For there are many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, who walk (live) as enemies of the cross of Christ (the Anointed One).
Romans 5:8 (Amplified Bible)
But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
As sinners of this world, we are enemies of the cross of CHRIST, we became at one time, but when we accepted the LORD JESUS CHRIST as our LORD and SAVIOR, we became friends with Him. We became friends with GOD, through our faith that pleases Him.
James 2:23 (Amplified Bible)
And [so] the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed in (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on) God, and this was accounted to him as righteousness (as conformity to God’s will in thought and deed), and he was called God’s friend.
Hebrews 11:6 (Amplified Bible)
But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].
Characteristics of enemies of GOD:
1. They are enemies of GOD without a cause
Psalms 35:7 (Amplified Bible)
For without cause they hid for me their net; a pit of destruction without cause they dug for my life.
2. They rewarded evil for GOD's goodness. They reject GOD's goodness in their lives.
Psalms 35:12 (Amplified Bible)
They reward me evil for good to my personal bereavement.
Psalms 38:20 (Amplified Bible)
They also that render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow the thing that is good.
3. They wanted to kill JESUS, the Only Way to Salvation
John 10:32 (Amplified Bible)
Jesus said to them, My Father has enabled Me to do many good deeds. [I have shown many acts of mercy in your presence.] For which of these do you mean to stone Me?
4. GOD love us exceedingly, but the more we love Him less.
2 Corinthians 12:15 (Amplified Bible)
But I will most gladly spend [myself] and be utterly spent for your souls. If I love you exceedingly, am I to be loved [by you] the less?
Hebrews 13:8 (Amplified Bible)
Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).
GOD never changes, so all His Attributes, His Character never changes, He continues to love us more and more, but we can't make that promise to Him. I remember Peter promising Him this love but even denied Him three times, so all the other disciples.
Mark 14:29-31 (Amplified Bible)
But Peter said to Him, Even if they all fall away and are caused to stumble and distrust and desert You, yet I will not [do so]!
And Jesus said to him, Truly I tell you, this very night, before a cock crows twice, you will utterly deny Me [disclaiming all connection with Me] three times.
But [Peter] said more vehemently and repeatedly, [Even] if it should be necessary for me to die with You, I will not deny or disown You! And they all kept saying the same thing.
See ourselves held by His Great Love for us, not the other way around. Don't promise to love GOD, but in your mind, see yourself wrapped up in GOD's exceeding Love.
B. For the LORD JESUS is a Man of Prayer
"but I give myself unto prayer"
Psalms 55:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord will save me.
Evening and morning and at noon will I utter my complaint and moan and sigh, and He will hear my voice.
Psalms 69:12-13 (Amplified Bible)
They who sit in [the city’s] gate talk about me, and I am the song of the drunkards.
But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord. At an acceptable and opportune time, O God, in the multitude of Your mercy and the abundance of Your loving-kindness hear me, and in the truth and faithfulness of Your salvation answer me.
Some people praying for his enemies in the bible:
1. King David praying for Absalom
2 Samuel 15:31-32 (Amplified Bible)
David was told, Ahithophel [your counselor] is among the conspirators with Absalom. David said, O Lord, I pray You, turn Ahithophel’s counsel into foolishness.
When David came to the summit [of Olivet], where he worshiped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent and earth upon his head.
2. Daniel
Daniel 6:10 (Amplified Bible)
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house, and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he got down upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.
3. the LORD JESUS
Luke 6:11-12 (Amplified Bible)
But they were filled with lack of understanding and senseless rage and discussed (consulted) with one another what they might do to Jesus.
Now in those days it occurred that He went up into a mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.
Luke 23:34 (Amplified Bible)
And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they divided His garments and distributed them by casting lots for them.
Psalms 22:18 (Amplified Bible)
They part my clothing among them and cast lots for my raiment (a long, shirtlike garment, a seamless undertunic). [John 19:23, 24.])
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship, glorify, adore, honor, and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are the One that intercedes for me in Heaven and You are my Savior.
