The Names of God: Jehovah Nissi

Moses and the Israelites are making their way to the Promised Land when they are hit by a surprise attack from the Amalekites. God gives Israel the victory as long as Moses appeals to heaven by keeping his ordinary shepherd’s staff raised in the air. It is there where Moses proclaimed the name “Jehovah Nissi”, which means “The LORD My Banner”! There are figurative battles that we may face – battles with lust, anger, fear or worry, to name a few. In today’s message, Pastor Austin addresses how to overcome our battles with the help of God as our “Banner” – the covering we run to for help in times of deep struggle.
