24 – Perfect Government Made Manifest
The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!” Luke 8:24-25 NLT
Lord God’s Banner of Love
Most of us have heard of the 16 God names in the Old Testament, including Jehovah Jireh, the Lord is our Provider, or Jehovah Rapha, the Lord is our Healer. However, few have heard of Jehovah Nissi.
Jehovah Nissi means the Lord is our Banner. The banner it’s referring to is the flag on a battlefield. If you want to win the battle for upgrade and momentum, or to have victory in your life, learn to call on Jehovah Nissi.
Jehovah Nissi is the game-changing side of the Lord. He is the momentum changer. The Lord is our Banner speaks of a battlefield where suddenly, the momentum swings in your favor because the King’s banner has entered the fray. It means the King Himself is fighting the fight!
Everything changes when you see Jesus on your battlefield. It is from that momentum that you pick up your sword, get off the ground, and scream in the face of the enemy. When it comes down to it, the forceful part of moving forward in the Kingdom is to be taken head-on, never from your flanks or behind. There’s no need to cover your butt because your armor is for living life forward.
Read Ephesians chapter six and you’ll see the “full armor of God” covers everything but your backside. Why? Because moving forward, upgrade, progression, momentum – they are not for people who turn their backs to see what’s behind them. You and I are not meant to be Lot’s wife, looking back in longing for what she was leaving behind. We are to be the warrior Bride of Christ, positioned to move forward and win the battle under the banner of the King!
“Moses built an altar and named it The LORD is My Banner, and he said, ‘The LORD has sworn; the LORD will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.” Exodus 17:15
Grounded in Faith
Declare!
I am a Kingdom advancer. I will not look back but continue to move forward like a bulldozer moving the ground in front of it. I move Kingdom ground as He makes a way for others to come in. His banner over me is love, and I invite others to come share the love Christ has for us all.
