Yahweh-Nissi, Our Banner

Image
Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh-Nissi (which means “the LORD is my banner”). — Exodus 17:15 (NLT) In Exodus 17:9-13, Moses stood at the top of the hill holding up the staff in his hands, while Joshua fought the army of Amalek. As long as Moses held up the staff in his hand, the Israelites had the advantage. Eventually, Aaron and Hur stood on each side of Moses and held his hands steady until sunset. As a result, Joshua overwhelmed the army of Amalek in battle. Yahweh-Nissi is our banner of victory. He delivers and He saves. May we yield our hearts and lift our hands up to Him. With the full armor of God on, we are able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. (See Ephesians 6:10-11) Yahweh always leads us in triumph in Christ. (See 2 Corinthians 2:14) God gives us victory against the flesh, the world, the devil and death. As Yeshua said in John 19:30, “ It is finished! ” O clap your hands, all you people; Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy. Fo...

The LORD Reigns!

“The LORD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him! The LORD is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!” “The LORD will reign forever and ever!” — Exodus 15:2-3, 15:18 (NLT) In all of our trials and tribulations, we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. (See Romans 8:37 AMP) Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. May Yahweh give you the strength to run with endurance the race that is set before you. Finish the course, and keep the faith. (See 1 Timothy 6:12, 2 Timothy 4:7 & Hebrews 12:1) “Who is like you among the gods, O LORD— glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?” — Exodus 15:11 (NLT)  

Rise Up!

“Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle-deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in Yahweh our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory! Our enemies will not prevail; they will only collapse and perish in defeat while we will rise up, full of courage.” — Psalms 20:7-8 (TPT) As followers of Yeshua, we are a chosen people. We are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession… (See 1 Peter 2:9) Rise up for the battle is the LORD’s, and He has already given us the victory. “In times of trouble, may the LORD answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem. May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers.” (Psalms 20:1-2 & 4-5 NLT)

New Every Morning

“ This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The LORD’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. ” — Lamentations 3:21-23 (NASB1995) It is through the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed. He is a gracious and merciful GOD, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness. The Word says: His compassions NEVER fail. They are fresh and brand new every single morning. At the dawn of each new day, let us have hope as we remember the lovingkindness of Yahweh is being poured out upon us. Even when we are not faithful, He remains faithful. His loyal and unfailing love endures forever. May we declare His lovingkindness in the morning, and His faithfulness every night. (See Psalms 92:2 NKJV) Keep your hope in Him alive and expect great things from our Mighty GOD. I tell my soul, “Yahweh is my abundant portion. I need nothing more. So, I will put all my hope in him.” (Lamentations 3:24 TPT)  The LORD has...

Bless the Name of YAHWEH

Image
And God said to Moses, “I am Yahweh—‘the LORD.’ I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty’—but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them.” — Exodus 6:2-3 (NLT) In Exodus 3:15 (NLT) God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.” Our help is in the name of Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth. (Psalms 124:8 LSB) He is El-Shaddai, the all-sufficient, all-bountiful, Almighty GOD, the source of all life and blessings. He is all-powerful. None of our troubles are too big for Him to handle. The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is set securely on high. (Proverbs 18:10 LSB)  I will give thanks to Yahweh according to His righteousness 
and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High. (Psalms 7:17 LSB) Some boast in chariots and some in ho...

Better to Fear God

Image
Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah: “When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver. If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.” But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.” — Exodus 1:15-17 (NLT) It is better to fear God rather than man. “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.” (Proverbs 29:25 NKJV) So God was good to the midwives, and the Israelites continued to multiply, growing more and more powerful. And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.” (Exodus 1:20-21 NLT) Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. — Psalms 96:3-4 (NASB1995)

Our Refuge

Image
Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” — Psalms 16:1-2 (NLT) “Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.” (Psalms 73:25-26 NLT) “LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.” (Psalms 16:5) “I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.” (Psalms 16:7-8 NLT) Take refuge in YAHWEH.  For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. — Psalms 84:11 (AMP)
