The Word of the Lord came to me saying set a standard for your house. In your home set up a standard for your marriage. Set a stardsnd for your young men, engaging in affairs with other men. Set up standard for your young women. And their women an their young. You have not chosen me but I have Chosen you.
There is a level of integrity when resenting hat we must reach. What I understand i
The word standard as defined in Webster’s dictionary is – “any figure or object, flag or banner used as a symbol of a leader, people or military unit, a rule or basis for comparison for measurement or judgment,”
We have to reach a level in which we walk by the faith snd bylaws of God and not of this world.
Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard (nec) to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

We’re in a battle in this world. We may not see it, we might forget it’s there. But the enemy would love nothing more than to fill our minds with discouragement and defeat. If you’re a believer who is living like salt and light in a dark world, you won’t go for long without encountering obstacles and attacks he will hurl your direction. And though we can’t stop his cruel attacks, we don’t have to let him win. God reminds us in His word to stay aware of Satan’s schemes, to live alert in this world, and to stay close to Him.
God gives specific instructions in his Word, he gives us all we need to stand strong in this life. Yet all too often we race through busy, full days, ill-equipped, unprepared, or simply not aware of what we’re up against, or who the real enemy even is.
The forces of darkness don’t wait for us to be ready for their attack. They’re ruthless, determined, and cunning. The devil could not care less if we “feel” prepared or prayed up for our day. In fact, he prefers we’re not.
Spiritual Warfare: What is it? warfare exists in the unseen, supernatural dimension, where God is all-powerful and Satan is in revolt. As any Christian soon discovers, although spiritual warfare is unseen, it’s absolutely real. The Bible speaks of spiritual warfare in many places, but most directly in Ephesians 6:12, where Paul speaks of putting on the full armor of God:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Spiritual Warfare: How Do We Go Into Battle as Christians?
Spiritual warfare is an image that many of us would rather reject. However, since the Bible uses terms of warfare, it’s best that we accept God’s imagery, so that we’re properly prepared for real battle. As Christians, we’re going through more than a mere “struggle” on earth – and its seems that war imagery captures this reality better than anything else. Since it’s warfare, God instructs Christians to use a very specific set of armor and weapons in Ephesians 6:14-18
“Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit...”
God’s list of weaponry is rather unique – these are “weapons of peace.”
Throughout the Bible, you will find examples of God’s Prophetes are Gods weaponry in action. For instance, King Jehoshaphat sent out praise singers in front of his soldiers to cause disarray among the enemy; Joshua used singing and trumpets to bring down the great city of Jericho; and what better example of using faith in battle than David fighting Goliath with a slingshot. Of course, the lesson in all these examples (as in all spiritual warfare today) is that it’s only God who allows us to claim victory over evil!
Spiritual Warfare: Be Strong in the Lord
Spiritual warfare is a reality of the Christian life. But remember, we know the ending – our side wins. Since the Devil has already lost, he has nothing to lose in trying to take as many people with him in defeat. Therefore:
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:10-11).
Spiritual warfare is not giving the devil more attention or focusing too much on his evil ways. Biblical warfare is making ourselves more attentive to what God is doing and remembering to stand firm and let Him fight our fiercest battles. There’s power through His Spirit, His word, and in prayer, and we can be confident that He is always with us, leading our way and covering us from behind.
The word standard as defined in Webster’s dictionary is – “any figure or object, flag or banner used as a symbol of a leader, people or military unit, a rule or basis for comparison for measurement or judgment,”
We have to reach a level in which we walk by the faith snd bylaws of God and not of this world.
Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard (nec) to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.” Isaiah 49:22
when God raises a standard, what he is doing is, proclaiming who he is and what he stands for and he does this many times through his church. The church proclaims their allegiance in this world to Jesus Christ and raises the banner of the Lord’s righteousness in the earth. That is, the church says “we stand with our king in his army and our standards are his standards”other words we fly the colors of Jesus Christ which are righteousness, holiness faithfulness,. BRaising the standard also concerns spiritual warfare.
The church is a witness to the nations of God’s kingdom, and stands against evil in the land. This requires prayer as well as making noise; blowing the trumpet, raising our voices, standing against the enemy's evil plans. “Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.” Jeremiah 51:27 Raising the standard requires boldness and faith in the face of evil and opposition.
“Youlliî have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth.”OfuA mmstandard also means moral excellence and a measurement of value, as well as a model of authority. The church is a sign to the world systems of God’s glory,that is flown high like a flag with the emblem of Jehovah-Nissi ( the Lord is my banner of victory. ) upon it. Raising a standard also means to mobilize the army against the enemy. When the European royal kingdoms went to war they raised a standard which represented who they were and what they stood for. In battle there were those who went before the armies with their banner raised and when they had won the land they planted their flag in the area that was conquered.
In Exodus 17, Joshua led the men out to fight against Amalek while Moses stood on top of a hill with the rod of God in raised hands. Moses' rod was a sign of authority, signifying a raised banner. When intercessors pray against the devil’s works they are also raising the standard, defying the devil’s rights to hold ground and proclaiming God’s victory through Jesus Christ. We remind Mr. Devil that he must get out because a greater one is here! The Lord our banner!
I believe the Lord is saying we are no longer children to be toss. We are children who are able to stand given Gods laws.
God is not coming back for a wilderness church but a church filled with the Dpitit of the living Gid Chosen and Set Apart. We walk according to the fruit of the Spirit.
A church obedience to the fruit of the Dpirit and the Word of God.
God desires to walk past our house to past your house without plucking the fruit knowing the standard fit for the kingdom.
God is tired of people playing church instead of being the church. Now here we are over two thousand years later and every time God walks past your house He is seeing the same thing. One foot in the church one foot in the world. Saying you love me truth be told you .
God is getting ready to do something so the people of God will have no more doubts of who God is.
You are so jealous of what your sister has do what you do to desire something someone else have. Therefore I will walk past your house and if no standard is on the doorpost I will bring judgement onto that house.
Exodus 1213 King James Bible And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood,
I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
We have to come up to have a higher quality of life of His Word the truth shall make us free.
Have you ever notice God is always saying come up here to the next level of quality or attainment. So that you will be adenity an idea or thing used as a measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations.
"their restaurant offers a high standard of service"1. An ensign of war; a staff with a flag or colors. The troops repair to their standard. The royal standard of Great Britain is a flag, in which the imperial ensigns of England, Scotland and Ireland are quartered with the armorial bearings of Hanover.His armies, in the following day, on those fair plains their standards proud display.
That which is established by sovereign power as a rule or measure by which others are to be adjusted. Thus the Winchester bushel is the standard of measures in Great Britain, and is adopted in the United States as their standard. So of weights and of long measure.
That which is established as a rule or model, by the authority of public opinion, or by respectable opinions, or by custom or general consent; as writings which are admitted to be the standard of style and taste. Homers Iliad is the standard of heroic poetry. Demosthenes and Cicero are the standards of oratory. Of modern eloquence, we have an excellent standard in the speeches of lord Chatham. Addisons writings furnish a good standard of pure, chaste and elegant English stayle. It is not an easy thing to erect a standard of taste.
In coinage, the proportion of weight of fine metal and alloy established by authority. The coins of England and of the United States are of nearly the same standard.By the present standard of the coinage, sixty two shillings is coined out of one pound weight of silver.A standing tree or stem; a tree not supported or attached to a wall.
Plant fruit of all sorts and standard, mural, or shrubs which lose their leaf.In ship-building, an inverted knee placed upon the deck instead of beneath it, with its vertical branch turned upward from that which lies horizontally. In botany, the upper petal or banner of a papilionaceous corol.
