God said, " I AM THAT I AM"

For most people, eventually a life changing event will occur.  At that moment and time how one decides to deal with the situation could yield some powerful truths about God or create an attitude of none belief.

With this being said, the heart of this blog is for you to get a better understanding of who God is. In Exodus Chapter 3:13, Moses was being instructed by God to deliver the Israelites out of Egypt.  During the conversation with God,  Moses gave God a what if situation when he said, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'the God of your fathers have sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"   In verse 14, God said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "  In verse 15 God also said, "....This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation."

Wow! Let's stop right here! Do you see the power in God's words to Moses?  God told Moses that he is "I AM THAT I AM."  I AM is present tense!  I AM is now!  I AM is forever.  In other words, GOD IS NOW! GOD IS PRESENT TENSE! GOD IS FOREVER AND GOD IS FOR ALL GENERATIONS.

Now turn to John 1:1 which says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."   In other words, I AM THAT I AM is also saying I AM MY WORD AND MY WORD IS WHO I AM, which is GOD.  So how does this revelation applies to you and me?  I'm glad you thought this question.

Let's say that you need healing in your body and through your everyday study of the Word of God, you see in 1st Peter 2:24 that "by his stripes I am healed" or in Luke 5:17 that "The power of the Lord is present to heal me."   Remember in John 1:1, God is his Word and in Exodus, God is present tense (today or now). Therefore, God's promise of healing is now, present tense in your body today.  GOD IS SAYING I AM HEALING TODAY.

God's Word is true.  God's Word is forever.  God's Word is powerful.  God sent his Word into the earth as a man named Jesus.  When you believe in God's Word and speak God's Word, I AM THAT I AM changes things.  I AM HEALING changes sickness to health.  I AM JOY changes sadness to joy.  I AM LIFE changes death to eternal life and the list goes on.  Your job is to study the Word of God so when an I AM situation comes your way, you will know where to go and what to say so I AM (GOD) can take care of it.

Be Blessed!
