Oh God, Thou Art My God!

Oh God, Thou Art My God!

Psalm 63:1-2

Oh God, Thou art My God!

Oh God, Thou art My God! (Repeat)

Oh God, Thou art My God!

Early will I seek Thee

Cause my eyes longeth to see Thee.

I seek Your face.

I seek Your grace.

I seek the outpouring of Your presence in this place.

My soul thirstth for Thee.

My flesh longeth for Thee.

A whole lot more of Thee

And less of me.

I’m living in a dry and thirsty land

And I know this isn’t Your perfect plan.

Oh God, Thou art My God!

Oh God, Thou art My God! (Repeat)

Oh God, Thou art My God!

I’m Your daughter

Crying out for Living Water.

Let it rain

And transform this wilderness terrain.

I long to see Thy power and glory

As I’ve seen You in the sanctuary.

I know Your presence isn’t buried,

Cause You and I are married,

And You’ve called me to carry

Your presence and glory

As a demonstration of Your redemption story.

Oh God, Thou art My God!

Oh God, Thou art My God! (Repeat)

Do You Know Him? - Spoken Word

Several years ago, I suffered sickness in my body that repeated in a cycle for three months. I visited many doctors and even went to the emergency room at one point. The symptoms were similar to the symptoms of an immune disorder. I went through several doses of increasingly stronger antibiotics, visited various doctors, and underwent various tests, with no apparent evidence or indication of the source of the symptoms. The tests came up negative. I suffered a nagging pain throughout the nervous system of my body. My body felt weak to the point that even standing up became a chore. Yet, doctors, medicine and even prayer failed to help, except to lift the symptoms for a short period before they returned once more. Throughout this time cold and alergy symptoms travelled from my sinuses to my throat and chest constantly. I prayed and prayed. I rebuked the enemy, binding him in the name of Jesus. I pleaded the blood of Jesus against all sickness and every demon on assignment to torment me. I proclaimed the promises of God's Word for healing and restoration. My pastor prayed for me, as well. I cried out to God... "Lord, I know that You are the healer. I know that this is the enemy, and he is NOT stronger than you! Why won't this lift? What is the root cause? What are you telling me?..."

Finally, after about three months the Holy Spirit spoke to me. He said, there are some REVELATIONS that you can not receive unless you EXPERIENCE them. For example, you cannot receive the REVELATION that I AM the HEALER until you EXPERIENCE MY HEALING POWER." He spoke to me about the revelation and importance of us UNDERSTANDING that WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST. Then He began to minister to me concerning KNOWING CHRIST IN HIS SUFFERINGS as the Apostle Paul KNEW HIM. We all want to know Christ in His POWER, but we DON'T want to SUFFER ANYTHING! When in REALITY, our INTIMACY with GOD comes through the things that we SUFFER! It was in this period of SUFFERING, that the Holy Spirit BIRTHED the following Spoken Word in and through me. In fact, I believe THIS SPOKEN WORD that God BIRTHED in and through a time of SUFFERING in my life to be one of the most MEANINGFUL and POWERFUL of all the Spoken Words that He has ministered to me!

For those who are enduring a season of SUFFERING right now, I want to ENCOURAGE you! This may not be your FAVORITE season of life, BUT it can be one of your GREATEST, as you TRUST GOD in spite of! It is in these times of SUFFERING that we must cry out to God for the IN SPITE OF ANOINTING... the POWER and ANOINTING to enter into a place of INTIMACY with the Godhead as we never dreamed possible!

Love in Christ,

Minister Christine

Do You Know Him?

Who got it goin’ on?

Who got it goin’ on, on, on, on, on?

Being inspired by the Holy Ghost, the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 3:10-11, “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.”

He got it goin’ on!

He got it goin’ on, on, on, on, on!

J – E – S – U – S!

Do you know Him?

Do you really, really know Him?

Jesus is the name

Of the One Who came

To proclaim

Salvation to the lost

For which He paid the final cost

He’s God’s One

And Only Begotten Son

Rejected and scorned

Since the day He was born

To the Father He cried

As He suffered, bled and died

That our needs be supplied.

“Why hast Thou forsaken Me?”

How could this be?

It’s a fact

Even the Father turned His back

As our sin

Was laid on Him.

J – E – S – U – S!

Do you know Him?

Do you really, really know Him?

Jesus is the Door

To the life you’re looking for

He became the Final Sacrifice

He alone would suffice

To pay sins’ enormous price

When He died upon the cross

It seemed all hope was lost.

They placed Him in a tomb

His rented room

Cause in three days

All were amazed

Jesus was alive

The Son of God revived

The Father raised Him from the dead

Confirming every Word that He said

When Jesus was risen

He released many from hell’s prison

His life He gave

That all could be saved.

J – E – S – U – S !

Do you know Him?

Do you really, really know Him?

In the sweet sacrifice

Of the scourging whip

Upon His bleeding back

As He was unjustly attacked

Do you feel the crown of thorns

That upon His head was worn?

And the nails in His hands and feet

As they pounded with a steady beat?

Do you feel the pain

That poured down on Him like rain?

Do you share His sufferings

And the glory to God it brings?

Cause only then

Can we even begin

To really, really know Him

In the power of His resurrection hour

To be raised

And give God the truest praise!

J – E – S – U – S!

Do you know Him?

Do you really, really know Him?

Halleluiah!

More power to Ya!

You’re the Great I Am

Who became the Risen’ Lamb

You’re the Prince of Peace

Whose reign shall never cease.

Halleluiah!

Lion of the Tribe of Judah

You reign forever more

The nations tremble at Your roar.

We bow and worship You

For You Alone be True.

J – E – S – U – S!

He got it goin’ on!

He got it goin’ on, on, on, on, on!

J – E – S – U – S!

Do you know Him?

Do you really, really know Him?

Dream and Subsequent Conversation with God

Dream and Subsequent Conversation with God

The Dream

            I was in a church setting… My mother and at least one other minister were on the platform, and I was standing just in front of the platform on the lower level floor. I was ministering in a regular speaking tone, while turning in all directions to face both the people in the congregation and those on the platform. I was speaking about the fact that the only thing that is important is that we know Christ, and all else is secondary.
           Then I began to say, “The only important thing is this…” I began to go to each and every individual in the congregation. As I placed my hand on their shoulders one by one, I asked them two questions. 1. Do you know Him? 2. Is He in you? The first few people answered yes, and I began to assume that everyone would answer yes, and that maybe they didn’t get the message, because the point of the message is the one that God has been ministering to me… EVERYONE IN AMERICA THINKS THEY ARE SAVED, AND SO MANY ARE BEING DECEIVED. I believe that the heart of my message was for us each to examine ourselves, and the importance of our individual, personal responsibility before God, concerning His work of Salvation in our lives.
          Then I came to a group of woman that appeared to be from the Pilipino cultural, ethnic, and national background. Surprisingly, when I asked them the same two questions their response was different. This actually took me by surprise in the dream and I hesitated wondering how to respond and seeking the leading of the Holy Spirit. The first woman simply replied, “No.” Another woman shied away from me, turning as if ashamed to face me, replying, “No.” Another woman bowed her head and began to cry. I believe there were about 3 or 4 “No” responses. In fact, I vaguely remember one pulling away from me as if offended, and not wanting me to touch her. Though I do not remember distinctly each response, there was definitely a variety of responses. I began to speak and minister to them one on one, until I realized I needed to continue so that everyone had an opportunity to respond. I felt compassionate, wanting to spiritually embrace the each woman who said, “No” in order to minister to them until they had an assurance of their Salvation. I longed to encourage them that it was O.K. and that they could be saved. One woman was crying as if broken over the realization that NO, she did not know Christ, and He was not in her.
        I walked back in front of the podium in order to minister to those needing salvation. I turned and began speaking to my Mother and the other minister(s) on the podium once again reiterating the message of how this is what is most important. I noticed that my Mother was gazing off thinking about something else and not hearing what I was saying, but then knowing within myself that she often does this because at the same time things are going on, she is unaware, being in the Spirit realm herself hearing and seeing what God is speaking and showing her. One would not understand this unless you knew my Mother spiritually, because she flows deep in the Spirit realm. It was about this time that the dream broke, I awoke and the Holy Spirit began to minister to me.

Conversation with God

Ephesians 4:13 (Amplified Bible)"[That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him."

       Strangely, when I awoke God spoke and revealed some things to me that seemed unrelated to the dream, yet are extremely relevant to the message of Salvation… I had finished a homework assignment the day before for a course related to Issues and Problems in Education. The assignment was write a discussion about how “standards” in education determine “what” is taught and “how” it is taught. To be honest, I struggled with the assignment, because it is hard for me to shift from the spiritual focus to a secular educational focus. I lacked the motivation that day to even go there. I just wanted to continue to praise, worship, pray, and write as the Holy Spirit leads me. I could live in that realm 24/7 365 days a year! Now I have started another class, and must divide my time. At least, that is how I perceived it.
     Well, God blew this thinking out of the water! He revealed to me… JESUS CHRIST IS OUR STANDARD. The aim of SALVATION is that CHRIST BE FORMED IN US. The Holy Spirit began to minister to me how this BIBLICAL STANDARD relates to the SECULAR EDUCATIONAL STANDARD! He showed me how although the BIBLICAL STANDARD is the same for ALL of us, how UNIQUE the Holy Spirit’s “teaching” process and our individualized “learning” process really is for each and every child of God. Think about it! There is not one single person since Adam and Eve in the garden, who have WALKED THE SAME WALK with the Lord or engaged in AN IDENTICAL SPIRITUAL CURRICULUM, although His BIBLICAL STANDARD for us all is the same! This is what we call in education, “DIFFERENTIATED EDUCATION” to the extreme!
       I was thinking, “Wow! Now I wish He had given that revelation to me the day before, when I wrote and submitted my assignment! Then He sent me on a walk where He continued to minister to me concerning my frustration of needing to engage in “secular work” when my desire is to just PURSUE HIM! He ministered to me that we often departmentalize our lives, and this ought not to be. We put our all into our family for a portion of time. Then we put our all into our job for a portion of time. Then we put our all into Him for a portion of time etc… He told me this… PUT YOUR ALL INTO ME, AND THEN PUT ME INTO YOUR SCHOOL WORK AND ALL ELSE. This was a revelation for me and I hope that those who read this get this! It is AWESOME! Oh how I thank Jesus for His tender loving care and His intimate involvement in EVERY area of my life. I only pray that I and all those who desire HIM to be their ALL would learn to put this revelation into our DAILY practice… 24/7 365 days a year!
      By the way, I switched over from working on a school paper that is due today to write this testimony. Well, I will just put my all into HIM and trust HIM to write the school paper through me too!

I AM THAT I AM

The Holy Spirit first began to minister this peotic word to me in song, and then through the following spoken word.

John 12:23-26 "And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour." (KJV)

John 15:1-8 - I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples." (KJV)

I AM THAT I AM

Hear My plea!

Abide in ME

Abide in ME

And let My WORD abide in thee

For which you plead,

I will meet your every need.

I AM

The Holy Mantle of Joy

To utterly destroy

The enemy’s ploy

I AM

The Holy Mantle of Peace

To be released

Through praise that can’t be ceased

I AM

The Holy Mantle of Love

To descend like a dove

From the Father above

I AM

The Holy Mantle of Suffering

To ring and sing

As the harvest I bring

The Holy Mantle of Power

To make the devil cower

This Resurrection hour!

If you REALLY want ME

Hear My plea!

Abide in ME

And let My WORD abide in thee

Abide in ME

And let My WORD abide in thee.

I will cover thee

For I AM

I am even in the rhythmic rhymes

For they are Mine

A sign of the times

A sign to the blind

Who will hear

And know that I AM near

A sign to the deaf

Who I’ll bless

As they read and receive

This Incorruptible Seed

Who will meet their every need.

Will you bleed

To plant this Seed?

Will you cry

To die

That you may become this Seed

To meet every generational need?

As behooves ME

Outer shell of the flesh, I remove thee

As you fall to the ground

Oblivious to who else is around

As you lie prostrate on your face

Death to self you embrace

As you choose to die

Uttering complete surrender’s cry

As you are transformed from a weed

Into an Incorruptible Seed.

Through you, I will meet the greatest need

Yes, I will feed

Through one who once was a weed

I will feed

My Body and Blood through you

My precious chosen few

Who have become my morning dew.

Hear My plea!

Abide in ME

And let My WORD abide in thee

Abide in ME

And let My WORD abide in thee.

I will cover thee

For I AM

THAT I AM

THE Mantle most necessary

To possess and carry

Yes! I am Overwhelmed and Undone

“Yes! I am Overwhelmed and Undone!”

Isaiah 6:5 - "Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts." (KJV)

John 15:1-5 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." (KJV)

            God has been speaking some things that are literally overwhelming me to the point where I feel simultaneously the most lost and found that I have ever felt in my short term of existence on Earth. “Yes, Lord I am UNDONE!” I am literally at the END of myself, which is just where HE wants me to be.
            Yesterday morning before I got up out of the bed the Holy Spirit asked me a BAFFLING QUESTION. He said, "Do you want to live for ME, or for the saving of souls?" This just STUNNED me. I didn't know how to answer, because I knew He was teaching me something as He often does through questioning me, stirring me to dig DEEP beneath the surface of shallow appearances to REALITY. Immediately, Jesus, our Supreme example came to mind. I almost made the mistake of making a LIE of a reply, but God stopped me before I even had the chance... HE said “NO, Jesus lived for the FATHER, WHO LED HIM TO THE SAVING OF SOULS!” It was LATER in the day that the Holy Spirit BROKE me and WEPT through me, LAMENTING over my ONE desire for HIM. He revealed to me the CHANGE He has made in me. My greatest longing is NO LONGER for SOULS or for MINISTRY, which has been my CRY FOR YEARS, BUT IT IS NOW FOR HIM. YES, I JUST WANT HIM. I could NOT do this. I could NOT bring about this CHANGE! GOD HAD TO BRING ME TO THIS PLACE, and He is saying that this is the place He wants all of us to be... to LONG FOR HIM, AND ONLY HIM, AS HIS LOYAL AND FAITHFUL BRIDE.
            God is saying that our DESTINY, and our PURPOSE goes BEYOND MINISTRY. FIRST, we are called to INTIMACY. FIRST, we are called to WORSHIP with our entire beings, longing and thirsting after God, THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FULFILL US. FIRST, we are called to INTERCESSION (A Continual Entering Into HIM Session). God wants our desire FOR HIM to be GREATER than even our desire to be used of BY Him in ministry, or the saving of lost souls! He also told me, "Not all will be saved, nor will all be lost." In other words, this is NOT HIS MAIN CONCERN. He told me that in THIS TIME He is more concerned for His BRIDE! He is GROOMING HIS BRIDE. HE IS CONCERNED FOR THE MATURITY LEVEL AND LACK THEREOF IN THE BODY OF CHRIST! God is revealing that all else is SECONDARY, because if the BODY would GROW, MATURE AND FUNCTION AS HIS BODY, THE HARVEST OF SOULS WOULD NATURALLY FOLLOW.
            This morning God said “The DOOR will soon be SHUT, and either, you are IN or OUT. There is NO IN BETWEEN.” HE is the DOOR. Time is running out! God is saying, we must give HIM our ALL, OR brace ourselves for a terrible FALL. HE is SEEKING, GROOMING, and DRAWING HIS BRIDE. He's NOT going to beg, and He is letting me know that He does NOT want me to beg others, either. This is NOT what I would have EVER expected God to speak, but this is as real as it gets! I KNOW that this is HIM speaking, because I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BY HIS WORD. He is saying that it is time to enter completely IN, allowing HIM to carry us over the threshold, where He will consummate His marriage covenant with us through INTIMACY (HE in us, and we in HIM). It's either we are IN Christ or OUT the DOOR. HE said to me this morning that it is not even about the choice between heaven or hell. Our destination is EITHER IN CHRIST, OR OUT THE DOOR! Heaven and hell are just the results of the FIRST CHOICE! In fact, HE recently told me that HE does not want people to “get saved” or come to HIM just to escape hell! It’s either we WANT GOD or we DON’T! Anything else is SPIRITUAL PROSTITUTION! We must seek to live in GOD, and HE in us! For the ONLY ARK OF SAFETY available is our place of ABIDING in HIM, and HIS place of ABIDING in us!
            I am BROKEN by the Word of the LORD today. All I could do was weep, repent and cry out with a deep longing and thirst for HIM, as I have NEVER experienced before. All I know to say is “Yes, LORD. Be it unto Me as thou hast spoken.  I am trusting You LORD in the things I cannot see, the things I yet fail to understand. You are so awesome, who can understand You? Your wisdom and knowledge are past finding out!” All I know to do is cry and shout, “Yes Lord! I need ONLY YOU. I WANT ONLY YOU. I cannot live. I cannot breathe without YOU.”

IMMERSION - Acrostic Poem

IMMERSION

Excerpt from “What’s in a Word? - The Spiritual Significance of Acrostic Poetry”
Matthew 28:18-20 – “Yeshua came and talked with them. He said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age.’” (CJB)

Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (KJV)

The Holy Spirit often ministers to me in-depth messages through acrostic poetry. Several days ago, the Holy Spirit brought the word IMMERSION up before me, and the following acrostic poem is what He revealed through this nine-letter word. Knowing that the ministry of Voices of Christ is based on the mission of “Embracing Immersion,” as explicitly expressed in the Great Commission, the Holy Spirit is initially leading me to release only the acrostic poem without further explanation or exposition. As a result, the Holy Spirit will reveal to each reader a measure of its application to the call of the prophetic scribe. As the Holy Spirit leads, I will expound further.

Strategic Intercession and Warfare - Do You See as God Sees? (Part 1)

Strategic Intercession and Warfare
Do You See as God Sees?
Part 1

Isaiah 59:15-16 - Yes, truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. And He saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor [no one to intervene on behalf of truth and right]; therefore His own arm brought Him victory, and His own righteousness [having the Spirit without measure] sustained Him. (AMP)

Ezekiel 22:30-31 - “And I sought a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. Therefore have I poured out My indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; their own way have I repaid [by bringing it] upon their own heads, says the Lord God. (AMP)

The Holy Spirit has been ministering to me many Triune Truths found in His Word. The number three in Scripture represents the number of unity, accomplishment, and the universe (Willmington, 1987, p. 217). In fact, the Holy Spirit, Who is my Teacher, the Intercessor Inside of Me, and My Counselor, has instructed me to ask His Intercessors three questions leading to many Triune Truths. God is saying that every intercessor MUST continuously answer these three ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS throughout their walk with Him as His change agent of prayer, intercession, and warfare in the Earth.

            1. Do you KNOW Him?
            2. Do you KNOW who you are in Christ?
            3. Do you KNOW your intercessory assignment?

Therefore, one of the primary purposes of The Intercessor’s Intimate Chamber website is to assist each one of us through the process of answering and LIVING OUT the answer to these three fundamentally ESSENTIAL questions, as the Godhead breaks, molds, and recreates us more into His likeness and image. After all, we are God’s Ambassadors, and therefore, it is our responsibility to represent Him in the Earth. Our increasing KNOWLEDGE in answering these three questions is dependent upon the extent to which we SEE (perceive and understand) as God SEES (perceives and understands). Furthermore, God is saying that our FAILURE to SEE as He SEES is a ROOT CAUSE of the current INEFFECTIVE nature of much of the PRAYER and INTERCESSION in the Earth. We are called and ordained to proclaim “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven”, which we can only accomplish EFFECTIVELY to the measure that we SEE (perceive and understand) as HEAVEN (the Godhead) SEES (perceives and understands).

God’s diagnosis through His prophets of searching and finding “no intercessor” or “none to build up the wall and stand in the gap” DOES NOT mean no one was praying! Many were praying, and many are still praying… BUT the EFFECTIVE INTERCESSION necessary for REDEMPTION was NONEXISTENT. Jesus ALONE was able to INTERCEED through His Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection for the REDEMPTION of Mankind. Yes! He did ACCOMPLISH His ROLE and ASSIGNMENT in the Earth. Yet, He is still SEEKING for INTERCESSORS to STAND IN THE GAP as His BODY and BRIDE to BUILD UP THE INTERCESSORY WALL through STRATEGIC INTERCESSION AND WARFARE! He is still SEEKING those who will ACCOMPLISH their INTERCESSORY ROLE and ASSIGNMENT in the Earth for the completion of His STRATEGIC REDEMPTION PLAN.

Yet, we will ONLY effectively ACCOMPLISH our INTERCESSORY ROLE and ASSIGNMENT

in the Earth to the measure that we SEE (perceive and understand)

as Heaven (the Godhead) SEES (perceives and understands)!

The Triune Truth of the Godhead

The greatest Triune Truth of all is the Godhead Himself. The Triune Truth of the Godhead is this. Although the Godhead, Jehovah is One God and LORD over all, He coexists as three distinct Persons (The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). I must admit that I have always taken the doctrine of the Trinity, as just that – a doctrine that I accept by faith. Then Holy Spirit, my Teacher, began to reveal this Truth as SO MUCH MORE to me than a doctrine to casually accept as Truth. He led me to seek Him further concerning the Triune Existence of the Godhead. So, I asked Him, “How can You be three distinct persons, yet ONE?” Surprisingly, He answered immediately, “We COEXIST together as ONE.” I am not merely sharing what I read in a theological book. This Triune Truth and the significance of this Triune Truth is that which Holy Spirit is now in the process of revealing to me Himself, causing the Word of God to become ALIVE in me, just as Holy Spirit is ALIVE in me! The greatest news of all is that this is not only for me. Holy Spirit wants each and every one of us to KNOW Him in this INTIMATE way… to LEARN of Him… to CONVERSE with Him… to INTIMATELY RELATE with Him as our TEACHER, COUNSELOR, and COMFORTER. So, let us look more closely at the TRIUNE TRUTH of the Godhead, so that we can more INTIMATELY KNOW HIM!

Jehovah our Elohim, Jehovah is One

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 – “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” (KJV)

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 - "Sh'ma, Yisra'el! ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad [Hear, Isra'el! ADONAI our God, ADONAI is one]; and you are to love ADONAI your God with all your heart, all your being and all your resources.” (CJB)

The Triune Nature of God

1 John 5:7-8 – “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (KJV)

1 John 5:7-8 – “There are three witnesses - the Spirit, the water and the blood - and these three are in agreement.” (CJB)

Now you may be wondering, “Why am I reverting back to Christianity 101, and what does this have to do with Strategic Intercession and Warfare?” Actually, the answer to this question is EVERYTHING!!! You see, believing and receiving the TRIUNE TRUTH of the Godhead is essential to question one, Do you know Him? We serve a TRIUNE GOD. Yet, how often do we minimize the TRIUNE TRUTH of the Godhead to a doctrine that we believe (intellectually accept), but brush off as something no man could ever really understand? Yet, God wants us to KNOW HIM in His fullness. He wants us to INTIMATELY KNOW all three Persons of the Godhead. He wants us to INTIMATELY KNOW the ONE and ONLY True and Living God, Abba Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit!

For when we KNOW Abba Father, we KNOW HIM as Almighty God and Father, and ourselves as His children, who mature into His Sons through the process of consistent obedience and true worship. When we begin to KNOW Jesus Christ, we KNOW Him as our Savior, Lord, Master and King, and ourselves as recipients of His matchless Grace, citizens of His Kingdom, and servants of the most High God. In fact, we can only KNOW Abba Father through His Son Jesus. When we grow to INTIMATELY KNOW Him, we KNOW Jesus as Abba’s one and only begotten Son, the Firstborn of many brethren, and ourselves as His brothers, friends, and joint- heirs, yet never losing our REVERENTIAL FEAR of Him demonstrated through our true worship and obedience to Him! After all, the FEAR OF THE LORD is the beginning of KNOWLEDGE, and there is no GREATER KNOWLEDGE than the KNOWLEDGE of the Godhead! Halleluiah! I pray to the Father, in the name of Jesus, and through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that we are getting (SEEING, PERCIEVING and UNDERSTANDING) this Triune Truth!

In addition, we KNOW Jesus as the Head, and ourselves as His Body. We KNOW Jesus as the Bridegroom, and ourselves as His Bride. As the Holy Spirit was instructing me, I asked Him, “How can we be His Body and Bride at the same time?” He responded, “Just as the Head and the Body are ONE, so man and woman become ONE through marriage” (intimate knowledge of one another). Once again, it is all about the ONENESS! Then He began to show me that He has designed our families to reflect the same ONENESS of the Godhead! Also, the ONENESS of the Godhead reflected in our families should overflow into the oneness of the church (Body of Christ). Oh, how we have so far departed from the INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE of HIM! God is saying that we have DEPARTMENTALIZED and SEGREGATED that which He has ORDAINED to be ONE in Him!

For this reason, it is TIME for every Intercessor to ask them self the first essential question: Do you know Him? That means I must personally ask myself, "Christine, do you really know Him? AND… How well do you know Him?" For this reason, I have begun to cry out, “Abba Father, I must KNOW You! Jesus, I must KNOW You! I mean truly and INTIMATELY KNOW You!”

Wait! Before we get ahead of ourselves, we are not complete in our knowledge of the Godhead still, without the knowledge of Holy Spirit! So, my cry continues… “Holy Spirit, I must KNOW You! I mean truly and INTIMATELY KNOW You!” When we move past the head knowledge of the fact that the Holy Spirit is there to draw us to Jesus and INTIMATELY KNOW HIM, we begin to KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT as God within us, and ourselves as His Temple, and symbolically the Arc of the New Covenant, as we CARRY HIS PRESENCE throughout the Earth! Of course, this again is only possible through the REDEMPTION of the Son, and our reverential fear, obedience, and true worship of the Godhead. Once again, I must ask, “Christine, Do you know Him? AND… How well do you know Him?” For God is saying that as we grow in the intimate knowledge of Abba Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit, we grow in the intimate knowledge of ALL, because they are ONE.

My God! Abba Father, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit! If we could only fully SEE (perceive and understand) this TRIUNE TRUTH, not only in our finite minds, but receive Him into the depths of our beings (soul and spirit), we would be TRANSFORMED through our INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE of Him – the Godhead – Abba Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit!

There is also SO MUCH MORE to this first essential question that we will address at another time in the Intercessor’s Intimate Chamber. Yet, did you notice? We have already stepped into the realm of the second essential question, Do you know who you are in Christ? AND… How well do you know who you are in Christ? You see, when we grow in our intimate knowledge of the Godhead, we grow in the knowledge of who we are IN RELATIONSHIP to Abba Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit! Who we are in Christ is interwoven in our discussion and growing knowledge of the Triune Godhead. After all, we are NONE OF THESE, apart from our relationship to the Godhead. He is OUR EVERYTHING! We would not only be nothing without His act of creating us, but we would be no more than His creation APART FROM RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM!

That is why the Enemy of our souls works so hard at replacing INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE and RELATIONSHIP with RELIGION! He knows the power of who we become IN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GODHEAD! He also works very hard at replacing INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE and FAMILY RELATIONSHIP with basic animal-like reproduction and mere church membership. Why? Because he also knows the power of who we become IN RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER! Yet, there is also SO MUCH MORE to this second essential question that we will address at another time in the Intercessor’s Intimate Chamber.

God’s Strategic Plan

Furthermore, the Godhead is a STRATEGIC GOD. In fact, as we hear, read, study, meditate, and memorize (Five-fold Eating Plan) the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation we begin to SEE (perceive and understand) the unfolding of God’s STRATEGIC REDEMPTION PLAN. The Triune Truth of the Godhead sheds Light on all other Triune Truths found in God’s STRATEGIC REDEMPTION PLAN. More importantly, we grow in our ability to SEE (perceive and understand) the presence of Abba Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit working TOGETHER AS ONE throughout this STRATEGIC REDEMPTION PLAN from the Creation into Eternity, as we grow in the KNOWLEDGE of the three Persons of the Godhead.

Yet, before we discuss other specific Triune Truths related to strategic intercession and warfare, we must seek to SEE (perceive and understand) the BIG PICTURE of God’s STRATEGIC PLAN as He SEES (perceives and understands) it. I guess we could call God’s STRATEGIC REDEMPTION PLAN His ASSIGNMENT in the Earth. Yes! We have now stepped into question three, Do you know your intercessory assignment? AND… How well do you know your intercessory assignment? One of the first Truths we must grasp is that all of our God-given intercessory assignments play a part in the Godhead’s STRATEGIC REDEMPTION PLAN. We play a part of the whole assignment, just as we are a member of Christ’s Body and a part of His Bride. Though, there is also SO MUCH MORE to this third essential question that we will address at another time in the Intercessor’s Intimate Chamber, we will begin by discussing God’s STRATEGIC REDEMPTION PLAN.

God’s STRATEGIC REDEMPTION PLAN is AWESOME, and each one of us POTENTIALLY plays an essential part of His plan through strategic intercession and warfare! How many times have we heard a parent, mentor, or teacher talk about the POTENTIAL that they see in a beloved youngster? They see such POTENTIAL that they push and prod by executing what they call “TOUGH LOVE,” in order to assist the youth in achieving the TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL that they see in them. We naturally want the next generation to become GREATER than us, to ACHIEVE MORE than us, and to SURPASS US in every possible way. Why? Because in so doing, we witness the passing on of a LEGACY OF GREATNESS that will never die! The Truth of the matter is that so did Jesus!

John 14:12 – “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” (KJV)

Yet, Jesus teaching and definition of greatness differed greatly from most parents, mentors, and teachers, because He SAW (perceived and understood) GREATNESS ONLY as His Father SAW (perceived and understood) GREATNESS.

Luke 9:47-48 – “And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.” (KJV)

Matthew 20:25-28 – “And Jesus called them to Him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men hold them in subjection [tyrannizing over them]. Not so shall it be among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave-- Just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [the price paid to set them free].” (AMP)

A more specific question relating to knowing who we are in Christ AND knowing our assignment is this. DO WE SEE GREATNESS AS GOD SEES GREATNESS? Then once we SEE (perceive and understand) GREATNESS as God SEES (perceives and understands) GREATNESS, do we STILL desire to be GREAT? In other words, do we STILL DESIRE to reach our fullest Kingdom POTENTIAL, knowing that this can only be achieved through HUMILITY, SACRIFICE, SUFFERING, SELF DENIAL, SUBMISSION, OBEDIENCE, and DEATH, even unto DEATH ON THE CROSS?

For this is the true message of Salvation and Redemption that is so often lost in the simplistic “Gospel Message” of Salvation as presented through altar calls and sinner’s prayers that are running rampant in the American Church. Yet, when Jesus called out to His disciples, “Follow Me!” they SAW (perceived and understood) the COST so much more as Jesus SAW (perceived and understood) than we do today in our Western culture. Thus, we must SEEK TO SEE as God SEES with every fiber in our being if we are ever to truly walk out His call to discipleship and intercession.

Will God also say of us, “there is yet no intercessor [no one to intervene on behalf of truth and right]. There is yet no man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land.” God forbid! We must seek to KNOW HIM! We must seek to SEE as He SEES, no matter what the cost! We must not only be counted amongst those CALLED to intercession, but also counted amongst His CHOSEN intercessory army of SOLD OUT intercessors, warriors and change agents for Jesus Christ! WHO WILL ANSWER TO CALL TO TRUE DISCIPLESHIP? Who will shun the “easy broad way to destruction” and CHOOSE to walk the narrow way of the Cross? For the Truth is that there is NO OTHER WAY to the Father, but through Jesus, Who is the WAY of the CROSS! As the prophetic image below reveals, there is no other way!

Though our spirit be willing, in all honesty, our flesh is not only weak, but UNWILLING! That is why our FLESH must be CRUCIFIED with Christ, that we may no longer live, but Christ may TRULY and FULLY live in and through us. This LEAP from Christianity 101 to 24/7 LIFE (through death) ACACEMY is a LEAP OF FAITH we must all take if we truly desire and plan to be all that we can be in God’s Intercessory army!

Oh that every Christ Follower would answer the call to STRAGIC INTERCESSION and WARFARE. Oh, that we would seek to SEE (perceive and understand) only as God SEES (perceives and understands). Oh that we would focus only on laying down our lives and cry out for TRUE holiness to be manifested in and through the very depths of our soul and beings ALL THE YEAR LONG! Thank God for the Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday season that has recently passed… Yet, may this NEVER become a SEASONAL CRY alone... Rather, may this be THE CRY resounded in and through the BODY OF CHRIST 24/7 365 DAYS A YEAR!

So, THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR for God’s INTERCESSORS is not how much of the Word of God do we “know” with our intellectual mind, or how great (or even “anointed”) we appear to be in the eyes of man, how eloquently we can pray, or even what spiritual gifts we possess, but DO WE SEE AS GOD SEES? In fact, the EFFECTIVENESS of our INTERCESSION and WARFARE is directly tied to how EFFECTIVELY and CLEARLY we SEE (perceive and understand) as God SEES (perceives and understands). Furthermore, the EFFECTIVENESS of our MINISTRY is directly tied to the EFFECTIVENESS of our INTERCESSION and WARFARE.

Therefore, SEEING as God SEES is not an option! It is a necessity to every intercessor and prayer warrior in the Kingdom of God. We can only effectively answer and live out the three essential questions (1. Do you know Him? 2. Do you know who you are in Christ? 3. Do you know your assignment?) by SEEING as God SEES! In other words, we must begin our INTERCESSORY walk by to SEEING (perceiving and understanding) the Godhead, ourselves, and our assignments as God SEES (perceives and understands)!

FOR THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL WE EVEN BEGIN TO FULFILL

GOD’S INTERCESSORY CALL!

As We Walk with the Godhead Together in the Intercessor’s Intimate Chamber,
Our Eternal Focus and Aim will be to Increasingly and Continuously SEE AS GOD SEES!

by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
