Maria Larson was a part of out ministry in Germany called RVCCM (Rhein Valley Cell Church Ministries) and was very anointed in computer design work. Maria consistently received detailed dreams and visions from the Father. I asked Maria to pray about designing a LOGO for RSI Ministries. The RSIM LOGO is important because it is the picture which describes the vision, purpose and destiny of all that RSI does and believes. I gave Maria some Scriptures and the vision, purpose, and destiny of RSIM and asked her to seek the Lord about it. On June 20, 2002 the Lord gave her a vision of a shield. Also in the vision she saw many Christians in a circle doing one of three things. 1. Some were kneeling down and repenting. 2. Some were laying flat on their faces seeking the Lord. 3. Some were kneeling but had their hands lifted high in awe or holy fear. |
The symbols so the RSIM LOGO represent:
1. A SHIELD OF FAITH: EPHESIANS 6:16
God is calling for us to stand with the shield of faith and do warfare which is pictured by the shield in our LOGO. The Father is raising up a people within our fellowship to be a holy solemn assembly whereby He commissions us to work His work by faith. He has empowered us for the tasks at hand and has empowered us to stand strong.
Ephesians 6:16 (ESV) In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
2. AN ANCHOR OF PROMISE AND HOPE: HEBREWS 6:13-20
God is calling for an anchor in our soul which is shown in our LOGO. King David went into the cave of Adullam where his soul was anchored in the rock. This is where he had learned to really trust God and His promises. The anchor is the place where the promises of God become a “yes and amen” in our soul and we learn to rule and reign with our Lord Jesus Christ. We find hope in a hopeless situation when our soul is anchored on the rock.
Hebrews 6:19 (ESV) We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
3. A CLUSTER OF GRAPES IN FELLOWSHIP: ISAIAH 65:8
God is calling for fellowship in our lives which is shown by the grapes in our LOGO. The grapes represent the “cluster” of believers in fellowship with one another. It also represents the new wine produced when the cluster of fellowshipping grapes are “squeezed” together. Our Lord Jesus Christ says that the new wine can only be poured out into new wineskins. We are called to be a tribe of dead people who are squeezed together to be new wine skins ready to receive the new wine.
Isaiah 65:8 (ESV) Thus says the LORD: “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and they say, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,’ so I will do for my servants' sake, and not destroy them all.

Isaiah 62:10 (ESV) Go through, go through the gates; prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway; clear it of stones; lift up a signal over the peoples.
