Description

This was an idea I had when I did My Light in the Darkness. I had so much fun doing that one with the whole white on black, negative space?? or whatever

that I decided to do another! So I'm going to add this to the Dark theme in my Journal!!

Also I think I'm going to make this a part of my series His Beloved Words.

Anyways...skip the middle section if you'd rather make your own interpretation

The girl is fighting in her head against temptations and sin. She holds a sword above her head, which is the Word ( see Hebrews 4:12). The demons hold little daggers as well, which is to show how sometimes, when Satan fights, he uses half truths, from the Word (see Matthew 4)

You can see there that when Satan tempted the Lord, Satan quoted Scripture. But likewise did Jesus quote Scripture back against him. Each and every time - Jesus fought using the Word.

The small square of light on the upper right is a door, the escape. The Bible says that with every temptation we go through, the Lord provides an escape (see 1 Corinthians 10:13)

Whenever you face temptation with anything, whether it be excessive lying, addictions like pornography, or thinking evil thoughts, don't just fight in your mind, speak the Word aloud. Gather Scripture pertaining to whatever that stronghold is and speak every day. And the Word will win! Believe it!
