The Names of God: Jehovah Nissi

Jehovah Nissi - the Lord is our banner. Our attempts, our efforts, the things we do, only succeed because of who God is - because He is our fortress and our banner. This name of God goes hand in hand with what we learned last week about God, The Fear of Isaac, is our provider. Being under God's banner isn't covert or silent. Like Moses raising His hands for victory in battle, God gives us freedom in the Kingdom, but also chooses to use our efforts and abilities to accomplish His purposes. Being under God's banner means that we surrender and that we give up our own story for the Kingdom story.
