Lord heavenly Father, You gave me this tenacity to not give up on the things I desire. You know all of my desires too well... and the more I fight for them, the more I seem to go back to square 1... yet You still do not want me to give up. I really do not want to give up, even though people (and Satan) think I should. I looked at yet another sermon from T.D. Jake today called "Use Everything You Got". And it says in the sermon (in a nutshell), I must use what I got already to get the things I do not have; to get the victory I shall deserve. Through inspiration and me being a college student studying animation and majoring in it at the moment, I drew a picture inspired off of the sermon. I am standing with a sword and shield, as naked as Eve was when she was created as "woman" for the first time. You know the old saying "Clothes do not make the man (or woman in this case)"? Well, this is why I am nude in the picture. (and note it is for anatomy purposes to practice drawing the human body, not for sexual purposes) I had a shield and sword on me. Above myself with the sword and shield, there is the question "What do I have?" In the picture I have the sword and shield. On the shield, it lists, "LOVE", "HEART", "DREAMS", "ANGELS", AND "DESIRE". On the sword, it says "GOD". The words that I listed on the sword and shield is what I have.
On the near-middle of the picture, I drew this "enemy", that looked like a plague-like creature with evil eyes and a big evil grin. Below the creature, it has the question "What am I fighting against?" On the creature it has many words listed all over it. Here are the words listed:
EVIL
SHATTERED
BAD
"DIAMOND-HARD"
BITTERNESS
DEFEAT
HARDNESS
DISTANCE
STUBBORNNESS
FEAR
OBSTACLES
PREVENTION
LOST
REJECTION
STONE-HEARTED
COLD
PLAGUE
ANGER
REGRET
PUSHING AWAY
DEPRESSION
EMPTINESS
WORRY
And on the forehead of the creature reads "SATAN".
On the end of the picture, there's a question that reads "What is my objective?" There is a big heart on the picture, and also there is parts and pieces of the plague-like creature, blocking most of the words posted on the heart. On the heart, though, some words you can actually make through in "plague". The words that are listed in the heart but you cannot make out because of the plague are "MY LOVE", "BOYFRIEND", "FUTURE HUSBAND", the name of (ex)boyfriend which I will not put put because I respect people's privacy and I never release anyone's name via forums online, "$$$ (MONEY)", "FAMILY" and "HEALTH". I would have listed more, but I did run out of space because it was at the very end of the paper that I used. At the very bottom of the picture, it says "USE EVERYTHING YOU GOT". And the bottom of that caption says "My desires shall be fulfilled". So I'm praying very hard for my desires to come to pass and for them to be fulfilled. And this picture I drew is amid an inspiration to use what I have to get the victory I deserve. Please come to agreement and pray for this. Thank you.
