Jehovah Nissi-The Lord Our Banner by Maxine Evans Pdf

Are you ready to experience victory through banners, flags, and symbolic arts? Discover the Creator's standards for victory through Jehovah Nissi ("the Lord is my banner"), one of the names of God given to a redeemed people who looked to Him for victory. Today we raise our flags and lift our banners to the One who has already won all battles. Lifting banners and flags is a kingdom tool of identification, proclamation, and glorification. For many people, the word "banner" means a cloth on a stick. But in a spiritual sense, it represents the kingdom of God. Lifting banners and flags in ministry symbolizes lifting Jesus Christ as our victory and making a statement about His truth. They show how we respond to God for His truth, power, and authority on the earth. Banners and flags represent the victory won for us. The scepter, pole, or rod is a part of the banner or flag that is a symbol of authority on the earth.
