THE LORD MY BANNER
Exodus 17:15
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it, THE LORD MY BANNER.
God is a personal God. Belief must come on an individual basis. Each of us is presented with the opportunity to either (1) Believe in The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ for our Salvation and follow Him or (2) Refuse to believe in The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ and rebel against Him.
Those of us who choose to obey have built an altar and said:
The Lord is My Banner (under Whose protection I am saved), is My Standard (by which I live), is My Flag (under Whose Name I submit and surrender), is My Ensign (Whose warnings I heed).
Isaiah 11:12
He will raise a Banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; He will collect the scattered of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
John 3:14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son of Man be lifted up: that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
Isaiah 45:22
Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I Am God, and there is no other.
Mark 8:34, 35
Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it."
Isaiah 43:11
I, yes I, Am The LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.
Acts 4:12 "Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
We need to build an altar, repent of our sins and transgressions against God for not acknowledging that He is God over all, first and foremost in our lives. We need to acknowledge that GOD IS GOD and THERE IS NO OTHER.
Psalm 80:3
Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
Isaiah 55:7
Let the wicked man forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to The LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I know now that You are indeed Lord of All creation, Lord of heaven and earth, Lord of all kingdoms and ruler-ships. Forgive me of this my sin against You. Lead me in Your ways, according to Your will and purpose for my life. Continue to teach me Your Word, planting it deep within my heart, and sanctify me with Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus' Most Holy Name,
Amen.
