Application:

56.  Jehovah Nissi is the Name of God that means "The Lord My Banner".  This is a victory cry over the enemy.  The tribes camped around the tabernacle; God was in the center of it all.  As long as we keep the Lord at the center of our life, He will be our Banner also.  Comment on the following verses:

  • What happens when we seek Him before all else? .... Matthew 6:33 -
  • What does the Lord do when we humble ourselves? .... James 4:10 -
  • Who does the battle belong to? ... 2 Chronicles 20:15 -

  • What is our part? .... 2 Chronicles 20:17 -

  • What will bring the victory? .... 2 Chronicles 20:21-22 - (this will help you know why Judah went first because of the meaning of his name) - Glory -

  • What will the Lord lift up against the enemy when he comes against us like a flood? ..... Isaiah 59:19 -

57.  I want to pray Psalm 20:5 for each one of you now.  "Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that You grant my brother or sister's desire and fulfill their purpose.  I anticipate the victory You are going to bring to them and I prepare to sing for joy and set up a banner in the Name of the Lord, Our Jehovah Nissi, knowing that You will fulfill all their petitions and cause all things to work together for good because they love You and they are called according to Your purposes.  In Jesus' Name.  Amen"  (( love each one of you )) ...

58.  Summarize this lesson and post a prayer if you would like.
