Victory in His Name!

Ex 17:13-16

13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 Then the LORD said to Moses,"Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner [Jehovah Nissi];
16 for he said, "Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."
NKJV

Isa 59:19

19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.
NKJV

Col 2:15

15[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].

1 John 5:4-5

4 For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.
5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?

My Comments:

The context of Ex 17:13-16 shows Israel being victorious against Amalek before the name Jehovah Nissi is revealed. In its context, we can say that Jehovah Nissi could also be expressed as "The Lord who is My Victory".

Likewise in the New Testament, we see how Jesus won a victory for us over satan and his armies that as Christians, we have the right to enforce in His Name! His Name is our Banner of Victory! We're not to be subject to satan's whims and fancies, and to be tormented by whatever devilish thoughts he may give us! We can boldly apply the Name of Jesus in his face and see him run in terror!
