Flags are made from a passionate feeling towards a nation, organization, or belief. It is important to understand the meaning of the colors before choosing what you may want to use for your message. Shapes and numbers may also have a significant importance to your message but that is another study. This listing is a very brief summary of the colors just to help get you started in your ministry.
