I Am that I Am
March 21, 2023
Exodus 3:14
God said to Moses, “I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.'”
I AM that I AM
It is really hard for us as human beings to truly wrap our minds around the “I AM”. We have concepts; we have some imagery in our minds of whom we think He is. We have His Word that expresses His character and nature, His mighty acts and conveys to us how He deals with His creation. Most of all, we have Jesus who is the divine expression of God’s character and nature in flesh. God has conveyed to us in the ways that our human understanding can grasp, some of what and who He is, but even that doesn’t begin to express the magnitude of His greatness.
When we ponder the stars and the universe, we catch a glimpse of how infinitely great and powerful our God is. When we see that He would send to us undeserving humans His very own Son to die for our sins we get some since of the magnitude of His love, but can we ever grasp all that I AM is? I don’t believe in this earthly mind we fully can. What we should realize is that there is nothing our God can not do. Upon Him there are no limitations except those He would impose upon Himself.
As God brings us into the realm of the I AM, we come to a state of rest as we cease from who we were and start becoming what He is through the work of His Spirit that now indwells us. Have you ever taken a child’s hand to guide it and show them how to form letters only to have them take back control and make scribble out of the order of what you were trying to teach them? That is what we do every time we take the control of our lives back away from God. His ways will bring the order and the peace that we seek in our lives, while our own ways will only bring us back into chaos.
God wants us to know Him for who He is in the measure that we can comprehend Him. Never underestimate what He can and will do for you if you will rest in the confidence of who He is. I AM that I AM is resident in His people today. As He showed Himself mighty in bringing the people of God out Egypt, He will show Himself mighty to us. Let us not fall into the same sin of murmuring and unbelief that so many of the children of Israel did. Because God is God, His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Trust Him even when your heart and your faith are being tested. Know that I AM is in control no matter what the circumstances speak. His love, truth and promises never fail. I AM who I AM is ever with you.

God’s Love Letter to You
April 27, 2015
Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.
God’s Love Letter to You
My child, I love you more than can be ever written or expressed. I loved you so much that I was willing to give My only begotten Son to die for you, so that I could redeem you back to My heart.
With My own blood I purchased you again from your sin. I blotted out your transgression and imparted to you the right and privilege to partake of My righteousness. I have called you out as a people to carry My very own name in all of its majesty and glory. As My children, all that I have is yours, because you are in My Son and He is in you.
You see and know so little and you aren’t even able to comprehend with your finite minds the length, the breadth and depth of My love for you. My love isn’t the revelation of material things that soon perish with the using. My love is you being transformed into My likeness and glory. It is bringing you into the full expression of who I AM.
Rejoice, even in your trials, for all things are working together for the good of those who love Me and who I have called according to My purpose.
Romans 8:28-39, ” And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He 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? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
