In a day or two it will be ten years ago that I created this banner. It was created and designed for myself as a step in faith. In the meantime, all I have left is a picture and the prophetic words that were given to me reflecting the meaning of the banner. I will share with you the words that were given to me by Holy Spirit for this very banner.

"Peace and rest this day as you rested last night you were refreshed for this day. The day that I chose for you to begin the work on the banner.
As you prepare this banner much will be revealed to you in the physical and in the spiritual realm. You wonder about black to be used on a "wedding" banner. Before there was light called forth the earth was void. Out of the darkness light was called forth, there had to be darkness in order that light came forth. For light could not be seen if there was light already. As if you took a black crayon and crayoned a patch on a piece of white paper, if you then took a white crayon and colored a portion of the black you would be able to see white over the patch of black. The same white crayon colored on white paper cannot be seen as easily as it is seen when colored over the patch of black.
As I call you both forward in the marriage union so forth comes the light from the darkness. Your banner is on light colored material, the reverse of what I explained to you. The black is upon light because you will go into areas and call forth the darkness and it will surface and you will then cast it out. The heart is scarlet in color it is My love and My blood that sets you free to leave your oneness as an individual to become one as a couple under the blood.
As you have left your areas of darkness and sin you both will have followed My calling, which led both of you to the heart of the Father and through the blood. Brought into the oneness with covenant. Trust Me My child I will not let go of you, this is the final part of this testimony of faith. I am with you both. Soon and very near all shall be exposed and brought to pass. Thus saith the Lord of the Host of angels. Amen."
There was a season in my life in which I created banners. I would be shown by Holy Spirit the image and I would draw it. I would then color it with colored pencils with what I was shown. I would then go to the various stores and gather the materials needed. I would then come home and put on praise/worship music and create. It was in the assembling of the banners when I would really hear from Holy Spirit as to how to proceed. Sometimes I would draw one thing and in the creating mode it would be slightly changed or adjusted. That was the learning process for me. Would I yield to the prompting of Holy Spirit and create it the way He wanted it to be or was I going to be stubborn and do it my way? I would always yield to Holy Spirit and I would so many times stand back in wonder at the creativity of Holy Spirit and thank Him for His creativity. An example of this creativity at work. I knew I needed something more ornate where I connected the banner to the shepherds hook that it is displayed on. He showed me how to get the flowers and how to connect them to bring a bit of elegance to the banner. Think of the flowers as an accessory to the banner. It may be a bit hard to see in the picture, but if you looked at the two hearts there are actually two angel figurines sewn onto the hearts. They were given to me as a gift. I believe I created this banner with crushed velvet and velvet as the materials. Even though this was my wedding banner I allowed a young couple to use it as a part of their wedding ceremony while I still had possession of it.
I shared that with you so you could understand that My hearing from Holy Spirit is not just something that happened over night. It has been a gradual process. I can hear like I do today because of years of being nurtured by the creator. As I close this writing I have tears in my eyes full of joy because He has taken me and groomed me to be just the right wife for the man that He has set aside to wed me.
