Flags represent a prophetic picture of wings, symbolising our protection. As Psalm 91 says, we will be hidden under Your wings, in the shadow of Your wings. The flags are a prophetic image of being covered by God's wings, feeling the breath and life of God.

"Lord, let her experience this now. Let her feel the breath of what You want to manifest in the natural realm. Cover her through the flags and the waving of fabric in the air. Your banner over her is love. Send heavenly hosts to that banner."

Sandra envisioned an army fighting, holding up a banner. Other units ran to it, recognising their banner and choosing to serve under it. Similarly, heavenly hosts are drawn to the banner to fight on our behalf. The Lord says I don’t have to hide anymore; He sends help from the sanctuary.

It doesn’t matter if no one else is lifting their hands, kneeling at the altar, or shouting with praise—you still can! 🔥

Worshipping God in spirit and in truth is your birthright as a born-again believer! Your love for Jesus doesn’t need to fit neatly into a little box. It can be radical. It can be exuberant. It can be loud. It can be still. It’s all about you and God, not what others think!

Don’t hold back because of the atmosphere around you. You’re called to be the thermostat, not the thermometer! 🌡

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Isaiah 61:3 KJV

If you are going about your day and suddenly start feeling down without any apparent reason, then it's time to engage in spiritual warfare. It isn't expected to be happy one moment and then suddenly be overtaken by a cloud of gloom that you can't shake off!

This means it's time to don the garment of praise. This is when you persevere in prayer, arm yourself with the word, and conquer with praise.

As children, we sang "shake, shake, shake, shake the devil off." Well, that's what time it is now! It's time to shake the devil off and all of his demonic minions. Put ON the garment of praise. Worship is your weapon. The Lord has called you to PEACE!

In the name of Jesus... Shake the devil off.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Colossians 3:15 KJV
