May, 2012 WORSHIP Banner Conference in Emmetten, Switzerland. (near Lucerne)

As we formed a circle overlooking breathtaking view of Lake Lucerne in prayer and worship to the Lord for the country of Switzerland we all felted honored to be able  to stand with our Swiss brothers and sisters to see the heaven shift and become rightly aligned with their God given purpose and destiny as a country.

One hundred fifty people gathered from 13 countries to stand with Switzerland in releasing worship to the Lord. A time of deep repentance was given for national sins, asking God for his mercy and cleansing.

Switzerland known for neutrality had spread to the church in Switzerland also. The Swiss Prayer Warriors raised their WORSHIP BANNER and declared after much repentance, “they are not neutral Christians but Prayer Warriors for Christ!” 

As worship was offered using PRAISE AND WORSHIP BANNERS AND FLAGS and the music streamed out the windows many moved outside in the grassy field with freedom of worship. Banners in hand, prayer warriors descended the Alps Mountain to the Birthplace of Switzerland, Rutli. Prayer was offered up for the Swiss people to walk out their destiny as a nation. Leaving Rutli we boarded a ferry boat, everyone raised their banners with a great display of worship to the Lord. Curious bystanders watched and asked questions giving us an opportunity to witness for the Lord. As I raised my Swiss banner, stating the Glory of the Lord Shall Cover Switzerland, a Swiss man on the upper deck yelled down to me, YES with his arm raised to heaven! Pentecost morning worshipers gathered with prophetic acts forming a square which represented the north, south, east and west of Switzerland. Opposite sides came together and blessed each other laying the Banner pole on their counterpart’s shoulder; decreeing they would fulfill their God given destiny.

Sarnia Aglow Meeting with 

WORSHIP BANNERS AND WORSHIP FLAGS

 Sarnia Aglow leaders were deeply touched and overwhelmed by the presentation of the HIGH PRAISE BANNERS Canadian Flag. Their hearts long to see the glory of God cover Canada, so with joy they received the Canadian Banner depicting it. At the end of the meeting one of the ladies running for a political office in the upcoming Canadian election asked that the Canadian WORSHIP Banner be placed as a canopy over her, while the ladies offered up prayer.

As I wave my PRAISE WORSHIP BANNER, it becomes an extension of myself. At that moment what is on my heart toward the Lord seems to come through the Banner in worship. I believe once the banner is engaged with the worshipper, what is portrayed on the banner is activated and speaks directly to the Lord. It gives one a sense of empowerment to be able to magnify the Lord in a greater way. And of course the great benefit of worshipping the Lord is the release of peace and joy, because of the many blessings He pours back on the worshipper. My greatest joy is to worship the Lord! O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34:3

How Great is our God! Yes, as I created the Ribbon/Streamer for Christian Worship and Praise Dancers it seemed to call out the names of God and be the perfect place to magnify many of the facets of Jesus. El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty),El Elyon (Most High God), Adoni (Lord Master),Jehovah Nissi (The Lord Our Banner),Jehovah Rofe (The Lord Our Healer),Jehovah Shalom(The Lord Our Peace),Jehovah Sabaoth (The Lord of Hosts). However I couldn’t create a Ribbon/Streamer for Christian Worship and Praise Dancers long enough to cover every quality of Our Gloious God. Christian Worshippers, Praise groups, and Dancers alike enjoy the flow and movement of this Ribbon Streamer that shouts to the atmosphere, “HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!”

I created this WORSHIP BANNER to exult the awesomeness of our God. When I lift this WORSHIP BANNER to the heavens I think about the amazing qualities of our God. Deuteronomy 10:17 NIV states: For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and who accepts no bribes. He is the Supreme King of the Universe, of which He created. His deeds are awesome. Exodus 15:11 states: Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

And then the awesomeness of the Lord is reflected in His love for all of his children. He was willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, redeeming us out of the hand of the enemy.  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…For that reason alone I raise this WORSHIP BANNER to magnify our awesome Redeemer. The limitless depths of God’s love are awesome. Nehemiah 1:5 states…O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments; even to a thousand generations, how awesome is that! There are so many facets of our awesome God, even His name is awesome. The scripture states in Psalm 99:3 Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he! Even His clothing is Awesomely Majestic. Job37:22 Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with awesome majesty. There are so many reasons to wave this Worship Banner for our God is Awesome!

I designed this WORSHIP BANNER to exalt the only one who has triumphed, opening the scrolls and breaking the seals in (Revelation 5:5)  I wept and wept and wept that no one was found able to open the scroll, able to read it.
