In Biblical days, a banner was often a pole with a bright shining ornament carried at the front of a military procession to indicate the line of march. During the battle against Amalek, the first and constant enemy of Israel, God was worshiped as Jehovah-nissi…which means, “The Lord is My Banner.”

You have set up a banner for those who fear you.

Psalm 60:4

You are in a spiritual battle as you pray for this nation. The enemy wants you to feel discouraged and defeated, but you are not alone on the battlefield. Look to the Lord your Banner. It is His battle. Jesus is there with arms extended high, interceding for you. All power and authority have been given to Him, and what is His is yours. You have no reason or excuse for waving a surrender flag. Stand firm. “Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10)

As a child of God, you have the responsibility and privilege to put on the full armor of God and get on the battlefront every day. Remember – under His banner, triumph is always assured. Join your heart in prayer with others across this nation and believe God’s victory for America!
