Yahweh-Nissi ~The LORD, My Banner
The Lord is a reigning banner over us all the time. The Hebrew for
"banner" comes from the root word "to be high" or
"raised." This was the name given to the altar that Moses erected to
commemorate the defeat of the Amalekites at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8-15). He goes
before us and behind us to give us the victory in all circumstances of life.
Even in the midst of the battle, the banner of the Lord is raised over us.
Psalm 23:5 says, "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." Who is the
God who prepares a table of celebration in the presence of the enemy? When the
enemy shall come in like a flood, then shall the Lord hold up a banner before
him. The victory in all of life is the Lord's.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
