Becoming a Warrior Princess

Reflection from G12 Conference 2007

A Revelation of the Cross – this is what I have been asking Him for. To have a passion for Jesus seared deep into my soul and spirit. To know what it is like as Ps Claudia shared, “When I was born into the ministry, it was like the sun was shining on my face, and I knew my purpose”.

Sure, I’ve had over the years many precious moments of experiencing His love and reality. Yet… I know there is so much MORE to life and being a child of God. I have not yet experienced that face-to-face encounter with the Almighty, the POWER life-transforming kind so boldly asked for and fully embraced by Ps Caesar. How terrifying AND glorious it would be! There’s a growing dissatisfaction in my spirit with where I am in the ministry. Oh, to know the perfect love that casts out ALL fear! To know that my life is not my own!

At the G12 conference, during an altar call when I rushed forward to the stage, I caught a glimpse in my mind’s eye of Jesus’ work on the Cross – As I closed my eyes, I saw before me a pair of hands clasped together with fingers pointed downwards, with blood dripping down from them. It was the blood of Jesus – the Lamb of God! I felt that every drop was so precious; every drop was needed to be shed to pay for my sins, that I may have eternal life. Romans 8:32 came to mind, “He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all – how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” I felt the Father’s love gently enveloping me.. But I’m not satisfied. I know this is but a foretaste of MORE blessings of revelations from God.

At the conference, I also had a little revelation of His heart not just for me, but for the body of Christ – His church. And not just FCBC, but the universal body of Christ. I felt my heart enlarged with - just a snippet of - His vision for the whole world – the redemption of all mankind. (Continued...)

I am reminded that the bride of Jesus is not just an individual, but all the members of the body of Christ. And like a bride on her wedding day, she is the centre of attraction, wow-ing people with her beauty, the white splendour of her wedding gown and her joyful radiance. Similarly, God has chosen the church - Christians from every nation, tongue and tribe - that through her beauty and holiness, mankind will be attracted and led to the Saviour. (Read Book of Revelation chapters 19 and 22 for more!). Therefore, I live not only to please Him in my personal walk and in my circle of influence, but I also have a part to play in his BIG GLOBAL redemption plan for the nations! (Theme of G12 conference – Light to the nations!)

Wanna share the lyrics of a worship song, on my personal “Top 20” list since my late teens. it’s such a beautiful, heart-felt ALL-OR-NOTHING song – not to be sung flippantly!


I long to be the bride that You’re returning for
Dressed in garments white and wrinkle-free
I have no earthly love that I am holding to
For You’re the one who means everything to me

You are the faithful God who keeps Your covenants
There’s not one thing You’ve said You haven’t done
And someday when I see You standing face to face
My praise for You will only have begun

I will sing, I will worship You
I will bow myself down humbly at Your throne
And I will give everything
I will give anything
To You alone


Cami, His Warrior Princess (in-training!)
God graciously gave me a vision last Nov, where He called me a Warrior Princess. I believe the name means:
Daughter of the Most High King, reigning with Him = Princess.
Soldier of the LORD of Hosts, Yahweh of armies, conquering with Him = Warrior
