🎧 Day 61 – The Lord Is My Banner

Series: Psalm Warfare (7-Day Focus)

Podcast: Daily Prayer with Natanael Costea

Episode Focus

Day 61 begins the Psalm Warfare series by establishing covenant identity before confrontation. Warfare is not rooted in panic but in allegiance. The Lord as Banner (Jehovah Nissi) represents authority, covering, and declared loyalty to God’s name before engaging opposition.

1. Psalm 20:5 – Setting up our banners in the name of our God.
2. Psalm 60:4 – A banner given because of truth.
3. Psalm 44:5 – Through God we push down enemies.
4. Exodus 17:15 – “The Lord is my Banner” (Jehovah Nissi).
5. Psalm 18:2 – The Lord as rock, fortress, and deliverer.
6. Psalm 149:6–7 – High praises as spiritual weaponry.
