In 1993, Charles, a Messianic Jewish believer, made his
first banner for the March for Jesus (Yeshua) in the city of Fort Myers, Florida. He wanted
a banner that indicated that Jewish people could celebrate Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah.
The Yeshua Banner has a Star of David and two blue stripes on a white background
thus representing the flag of Israel. While constructing this banner, the Lord gave
Charlie his next banner -- Light of the World. Within minutes, the new design came
to life as Charlie jotted down the pattern for this banner.
Light of the World has
the ancient Hebrew script for Yeshua and a menorah which was the Lampstand of the Taberacle.
The brilliant colors of banners had always fascinated a fellow Messianic believer named
Carol, but she never dreamed that she would be used by God in such a ministry. However,
during the banner procession of the 1993 Messiah Conference, the Spirit of God repeatedly
requested Carol to dedicate her art talent to Him. On His third request, Carol in tears,
answered "Yes, Here am I, use me." Because of Carol's obedience, God miraculously turned
her life around by having Carol return to teaching art in the public schools. Miracle? Yes,
she had been on an eleven year sabbatical of rebellion to teaching, allowed her teaching
certificate to expire, and had been completely out of work for over a year!
God immediately started to deal with Carol about repentance. One month after the Messiah
Conference, the first banner design for Carol came forth. T'Shuva, a Hebrew word meaning
"to repent or return to God." On Yom Kippur, the next design was given -- Hineni, Here Am I. This
is taken directly from the scripture of Isaiah 6:8: "Here I am, God, send me." Within a month,
another banner design was given to Carol:
Choose the Fear of the Lord. All three of
these designs were extremely important for the obedience of Carol and Charlie to make the
banners proclaim God's messages exactly like God had shown.
So, as you can see, God's order for the beginning banners were extremely important keys in
their walk with Yeshua. Yeshua, Light of the World,
Repent and Return,
Hineni - Here Am I, and
Choose the Fear of the Lord.
The Hineni concept was
so important, that Carol and Charlie made eight of these banners in one year, sending them out
all over the U.S. and Canada. The next banner design was of utmost importance;
Keep My
Shabbat Holy. When you learn to honor Shabbat (Sabbath), God takes care of all other
needs.
Carol and Charlie (who are dedicated prayer intercessors) have received all of the designs for
the banners during or after prayer. They are both being trained and equipped by the Ruach Ha
Kodesh (the Holy Spirit). Prayer, obedience, and the fear of God are the most important keys
to this ministry. God gives Carol explicit instructions (the designs, colors, and scriptures) for
each banner. Almost the same way that God gave Moses the explicit instructions regarding the
construction of the Tabernacle. "You do it according to God's pattern." Presently over 115
banners have been made in less than six years; these banners have been placed in 11 different nations. They also have been shown on TBN (the Trinity Broadcasting Network) during the summer of
1994 and 1995. "Praise the Lord!"
