In Wikipedia a banner can be a flag or other piece of cloth bearing a symbol, logo, slogan or other message. A flag whose design is the same as the shield in a coat of arms (but usually in a square or rectangular shape) is called a banner of arms. In Exodus 17:15 NIV; “Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner.” This was a symbol of the Lord fighting our battles for us. You can read the full story in verses 13–16.

Jehovah-nissi is the name given by Moses to the altar which he built to celebrate the defeat of the Amalekites at Rephidim.

On this Finish Friday I encourage you to not only listen to this music video My Weapon by Natalie Grant but to watch it as well. The intensity of the musicians playing their instruments in is very moving. I encourage you to really listen to the lyrics; Your presence is my greatest weapon. Pushing back the darkness. Breaking every chain. My worship opens up the heavens. Crushing every stronghold. When I speak Your name ‘Cause Your presence is my weapon.

Today let’s, raise our banners high and let our Jehovah Nissi fight our battles for us! Let’s finish strong in Jesus name! Victory has already been won.
