Worship & Warfare Banner Stories

Breakthrough in South Africa

I was given a silk flag called "Breakthrough". I am preparing to minister to teenage black girls at my daughter's high school for a weekend away next week. The Lord is leading me to minister the biblical person of Tamar (which means the palm tree), which they can all be out of their difficult and sometimes horrible, circumstances. Most don't have a complete family circle and the AIDS epidemic here is rampant.

But why I'm sharing this with you is that He has shown me to use your flag over them quietly as He does the work in ministry after I've brought the word. I'm so excited and thank you for showing us at conference how the silk can be the hands of Jesus "touching and comforting" where sometimes it would be inappropriate to do so physically.

Psalms 20:3-5
May He remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.

Jeremiah 51:27
Lift up a banner in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations for battle against her; summon against her these kingdoms: Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander against her; send up horses like a swarm of locusts.

Isaiah 62:10,11
Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations. The LORD has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: Say to the Daughter of Zion, 'See, your Saviour comes! See, his reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him'.
