Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus the Christ,

“11  For He commands His angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways . . . . 14  ‘Because (she) loves Me’, says the LORD I rescue (her); I protect (her) for (she) acknowledges My Name. 15  (She) calls upon Me, and I answer (her); I Am with (her) in trouble, I deliver (her) and honor (her). 16  With long life I satisfy (her), and show (her) My salvation.” Psalm 91:11, 14-16 (NIV, AMP [personalized])

GOD is Love (1 John 4:16); GOD doesn’t just have love, He is Love. Yahweh Nissi/Jehovah Nissi means The LORD is My Banner ¹, and His banner over us is love (Exodus 17:15; Psalm 60:4; Song of Solomon 2:4b). GOD first loved us even before the blood of Jesus tore the veil (1 John 4:19; Exodus 26:31-33; Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:37; Luke 23:44b); allowing all who confess Jesus as Savior and Lord direct relationship with Abba Father Who is El Elyon – God Most High (John 1:12, 14:6; Romans 10:9; Ephesians 3:9-12). GOD also loves those who “know not what they do” by the manipulations of the evil one. “But God” delights in lovingkindness, justice and righteousness in the earth (Jeremiah 9:24c).

Therefore, all redeemed and recreated by the Blood, are to utilize the Ministry-of-Authority in the Name above all names as well as pray in the Spirit (Matthew 28:17; Mark 16:17; Ephesians 6:18) and with all kinds of prayers because different rules govern each type of prayer (i.e., intercession, faith, agreement, worship, consecration, commitment supplication).² Prayer is the act of asking and/or petitioning Abba Father Whose Name is also Yahweh Sabaoth/Jehovah Sabaoth which means LORD of Hosts – GOD of angelic armies, He is the Avenger of our adversaries.

In other words, we have been given authority in the Name above all names to command the release of everything “fraudulently held-up, misdirected, sabotaged, blocked, stolen and destroyed” ³, and we also pray/ask Abba Father, in Jesus’ name, for recompense as well as vengeance against the perpetrator who works (through people) against those reconciled by the Blood unto the Family of God. Punishment for wrongdoing or vengeance is of the LORD (Deuteronomy 32:35; Isaiah 34:8; Nahum 1:2; Romans 12:17-21; Hebrews 10:30).

Those in Christ Jesus Who is the light of the world are ambassadors of light; we have been given the peace of Yahweh Shalom/Jehovah Shalom; we walk by faith; we have the incomparable power of El Shaddai – God Almighty; and we are called to give evidence of good fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-discipline (John 8:12; Matthew 5:14; Luke 1:79; Psalm 29:11; John 14:27 & 16:33; Colossians 3:15; 2Co 5:7; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Ephesians 1:19; Gal 5:22-23).
