The School of Intercession is a Christian based organization under the leadership of the Godhead (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit).  We give all credit, praise and glory to our God and no flesh.  

 

Jesus is Lord and King of this university. 

 

OUR BELIEFS/FAITH:

 

We believe the Bible (the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments) is the Word of God, written as a "God-breathed" revelation, it is thus verbally inspired and completely without error in its original writings. 

 

God 

We believe in one infinitely perfect, eternal God, the Creator and sovereign Sustainer of the universe. This one God is Triune, existing eternally and simultaneously as three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All three persons in the Godhead share equally and completely the one divine nature, and are therefore the same God, coequal in power, nature, and glory. 

 

Person of Christ 

We believe that Jesus the Christ is both true God (the second Person of the Trinity, Yeshua the Messiah) and true man (the Incarnate Son of God). We also believe in the great events surrounding Jesus Christ's life and ministry, including: His virgin birth, His attesting miracles, His sinless life, His sacrificial death on the cross, His glorious bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, and His present work in heaven as High Priest and Advocate. He will return in glory to resurrect and judge all mankind. 

 

Person of the Holy Spirit 

We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, is indeed a Divine Person, coequal with the Father and the Son. We also believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit in salvation, a ministry which includes anointing and glorifying Christ, convicting men of their sin, bringing about the regeneration of lost sinners, and indwelling believers and empowering them for godly living and spiritual service. 

 

Redemption 

We believe God has acted sovereignly to bridge the gap that separates people from Himself. He sent His Son, born of a virgin, attested by miracles and by a sinless life, to bear the full penalty for humanity's sin. Jesus the Christ suffered and died in the place of sinners, thus satisfying the Father's just wrath against human sin, and effecting true reconciliation between God and mankind for those who believe. In the atoning death of Christ, both God's love and God's justice are fully manifested. The righteousness of Jesus the Christ in perfectly fulfilling the law of God has been graciously credited to all believers. Redemption is solely a work of God's grace, received exclusively through faith in Jesus Christ, and never by works of human merit. 

 

Justification 

We believe justification is a judicial act of God's grace wherein He acquits a person of all sin and accepts that person as righteous in His sight because of the imputed righteous blood of Jesus the Christ. Justification is a work of God's grace, apprehended through faith alone, and solely on the account of Christ. 

 

Resurrection 

We believe Jesus the Christ rose bodily from the dead, conquering sin, death, and all the powers of Satan. The resurrection is God's historical affirmation and vindication of Jesus the Christ's unique identity, mission, and message. Historical evidence of the resurrection is manifest in Christ's empty tomb, His many resurrection appearances, and in the emergence of the Christian church. Jesus Christ now resides at the right hand of the Father, and lives to indwell all who recognize their sinfulness, who repent, and who turn their lives over to His authority. 

 

The Church 

We believe the church is the spiritual body of Jesus the Christ (its Founder, Head, and Shepherd) and that it encompasses all true believers at all times and places. The function of the church is to carry out the Lord's expressed will through the power of the Holy Spirit. One of the central purposes of the church is to preach the Gospel (in both word and life), the good news that humankind can find salvation from sin through faith in Jesus the Christ. All people who have placed their faith (confident trust) in Jesus the Christ for salvation belong to the church and are, thus, the people of God. This community of believers is made up of people who are neither perfect nor sinless, but by grace their lives are coming more and more under the control of the Holy Spirit, expressing His love, joy, peace, and other Christ-like qualities. 

 

Future Things 

We believe the Lord Jesus the Christ will return to this earth, personally, bodily, and visibly to establish his glorious reign in a kingdom that will never end. As the sovereign Lord, He will resurrect and judge all humanity. Those who have received His offer of life through the Gospel will go to eternal blessings in heaven; those who have rejected it, to eternal torment in hell. We look forward to the blessed hope, Christ's Second Coming in glory. 

 

The Great Commission 

We believe Jesus the Christ is the only way of salvation. And since Christ has commissioned His people, the church, to go into the entire world to disciple, to baptize, and to teach everyone everywhere to obey His Word, we desire, by His grace, to play our part in reaching the world with the Gospel of Christ and also raise up intercessors to join in with the Spirit's cry to intercede the will of the Father.
