Where to Find Worship Flags and Accessories



If you are looking for flags, banners, garments or other accessories for praise and worship, please visit my website at CreationsAnewFlags.com. Here are some links to get you going...
Streamers
Worship Streamers are long and graceful, available in a variety of colors and styles, and they include a 22 inch streamer wand.
Half Circle Flags
Half-circle worship flags, also known as Angel Wings, are very easy to dance with.
They flow beautifully and make a wonderful extension of your expression.
Small Flags
Small worship flags are especially useful inside buildings or where there are short ceilings. Kids also find them to be a lot of fun. Some styles come with a wooden rod, and others may be used with a wooden or metal spinning rod. Check out the accessories for your favorite style of spinning rod.
Large Flags
Large worship flags are wonderful to use in a Sanctuary with high ceilings, as well as outdoors. Rods are sold separately so that you can choose the length you like.
Banners
Worship banners speak a specific message. A 9 to 12 foot or longer rod works very well with these flags.
Dance Silks
Dance silks are not used with rods, and are easy to carry and use at any given moment. They are also used for ministry, and are wonderful for placing over someone during ministry.
Accessories
Worship accessories include streamer wands, flag rods (solid and spinning), Lametta shakers and dance bracelets, my "Flag Foundation Book", and an audio CD.
Garments
Worship garments are great overlays to be used with leotards and dance pants. Sacred garments should be used only for ministry - not for any common activities. Garments are made of 100% silk that is a little bit heavier than that used for flags. Garments are hand dyed after sewing
so the threads become one with the fabric.

Specific books for this ministry ...

Flag Foundation Book by Suzi Herman
I pray this book will be a blessing to your ministry. As you gain an understanding of how flags are used with a purpose, bringing all glory unto our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Order in the Courts by Paul Wilbur
"Tambourines, shofars, flags, and the garments of praise are not necessary for us to worship, but they are facilitators in our earthly expressions of our praise and worship. A popular song states, 'It's all about You, Lord' and I believe this should be our guiding statement." Paul Wilbur

    Hello Minister Suzi Herman,
    My name is Bruce. My wife and I are planting a church and would like to know what our color combination means. Do you have a way where we can send you our logo with the colors?
  • CreationsAnewFlags Mar 30, 2012 @ 12:08 pm | delete
    Hello Bruce,
    With each color there is no fixed meaning. When you look through a concordance you may find different applications for the colors. Just as it takes several colors to make fire or water, the colors used in your logo could have a meaning of the combinations or separate meanings to paint a larger picture. I would first start with the name of the church, what is the heart behind the meaning of the name. It is the same with the colors.
    I hope this will be helpful in your own search for further use of colors. If you would prefer to contact me, please go to my website www.creationsanewflags.com to find my e-mail address to send a picture.
    Blessings, Suzi

    Hi thank you for the info on the flags. I listened to a male speaker a number of years back and this was the first time I had even heard about the use of flags let along what they meant. This minister used them by the leading of the Holy Spirit to invite the prescence of God into a place. He stood outside and when asked told people that royalty was coming. Within a week or so from this happening the place where he had been was raided for a large amount of drugs. What I would like to know is that by having particular flags in our own homes would this clean our homes from things of the past and invite the blessing of God in, in regards to the flags used?

    Yes, flags are used to break down the powers and principalities of the air. That can be in your home, community or any place you have authority. Flags can change the atmosphere, just the same as when we lift up the name of Jesus, the enemy has to flee. We can take back territory - to taking back what the enemy has stolen. Thank you Jesus for giving us that authority! To God be all the glory!

    Hi, the minister I mentioned above just stood outside a property with the flags but did not wave them, but the outcome was still the same. As I don't have any knowledge on how or what way to wave a flag, would just having the coloured flags in my home and declaring what they were intended for and leaving them in each room for 24 hrs or how ever long I felt the spirt was guiding me to until the whole had been covered. Would this be sufficient. This idea came to my mind, that was why I started to do a bit of research. But I was uncertain and a little concerned about doing things that pertain to the power of God.
