Spiritual Warfare Conference, Hobart: Banner stories from Out Of Our Minds Banners

Worship & Warfare Banner Stories

A Turning Point
by Robyn S. Toowoomba Australia

Spiritual Warfare Conference

Banners! Just colourful pieces of silk cloth waving from poles. Apart from the fun element, what possible use could they be to the Kingdom of God? That was probably pretty much how my thinking ran, even though I was used to seeing banners used in our church. I had attended a couple of workshops on the use of banners, and was always enthusiastic in using the banners I had purchased.

Yet I was stunned and thrilled, when attending a Spiritual Warfare Conference in Hobart, Australia, to realise the incredible, awesome power that is released in the spiritual realm and the victorious warfare that results, when a group of like-minded individuals wave their banners in proclamation to the heavenly realm.

Each of the banners represents our awesome God Almighty, and yet each colour and pattern speaks particularly to different areas in the spirit world. When we minister with the banners, wrapping them around the hurting faithful, the Holy Spirit does His work in that person, healing, restoring, uniting and raising their spirits to new heights.

That conference was a turning point for me. I now look upon my banners as powerful weapons. I know that when I raise that flag in silent proclamation the heavenly realm takes notice. I look forward to each time I can use an important tool from our Lord God, to minister His love and grace.

Psalms 60:4
But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.

Numbers 21:8,9
The LORD said to Moses, 'Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.' So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

Isaiah 11:10-12
In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to Him, and His place of rest will be glorious. In that day the Lord will reach out His hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of His people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the sea. He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; He will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.
