"I Am" Is All That You Need!
Exodus 3:14 MSG.
14. God said to Moses, "I Am who I Am. Tell the People of Israel, ’I Am sent me to you.’"
Whatever it is that’s challenging you today, whatever it is that’s got you stressed!
The Great I Am, declares to you this morning, I Am Whatever you need me to be.
*If you have a physical need this morning, I Am your healer!
*If you have an emotional need, I Am your councilor!
*If its a financial need, I Am your Banker!
*If your tired and weary from weight of world, I Am you strength!
The Great God Almighty, declares to you this day, I Am everything that you will ever need Me to be, no matter what it is.
There is nothing new under the sun, that you could come up with, that would surprise Him as far as a need, in your life.
Because He has already been there, conquered it and been victorious over it! Praise the Lord, Great God Almighty!!
God has seen it all, your past and your future, the good, the bad and the ugly
and He still loves you and wants to Help you in every way He can!
There is nothing that God is not willing to help you with and I mean absolutely nothing, God Loves to help His Children!
The more you understand His grace and mercy and that being a Christian is so much more than finding religion,
Religion isn’t lost by the way, mankind is the one who’s lost
Its only then you realize, Gods grace and mercy, is about having a real and intimate relationship with God, through His Son Jesus,
He loves us, because He loves His Son and the more you love His Son Jesus,
the more you understand just how much He loves you and you have a better understanding, of how much He loves to help you!!
There are so many things He wants to do for all of us, things He is ready, willing and able to do on a moments notice,
The only thing He is waiting for, is for us to call out in faith and ask Him to do them!!
It makes you wonder, why so many people try to go through life without Him, facing one thing after another on their own?
Ps. 68:19 NKJ.
19. Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation! Selah
One box on a truck is not a load, several hundred boxes on a truck, is a load!
Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
He doesn’t just throw His children a bone now and then, He is a generous God of more than enough!
Ps. 103:1-5 NKJ.
1. Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2. Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3. Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4. Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
5. Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagles
As we read this, we can tell that David was excited, who in the world wouldn’t be,
Because He knew first hand, about the benefits from having a relationship with the Lord!
Can you imagine, with God’s help, a seventeen year old boy, defeating a giant and saving the whole nation of Israel!
Knowing God and having a relationship with Him, is a fasten your seatbelt experience, an exciting adventure!
So many people think that religion is boring, and their right, religion is Boring!
But a relationship with God, through His Son Jesus, is anything But Boring!!
Its as exciting as it gets, or should I say, as exciting as you want it to get!
If more people knew the whole story of God’s grace, instead of just the bits and pieces that have leaked out and they think they know,
There would not be enough room in our church’s this morning, they’d be knocking down the doors trying to get in and learn all they could about the Great I Am and all of His benefits!
The bible has been translated into 2,572 different languages as of may 2011,
It is the biggest selling and the most circulated book in the world!
Its a shame that more people don’t read it and realize the True Power, its words contain!
John 1:1 KJ
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
MSG. says it like this:
1-2. The Word was first,
the Word present to God,
God present to the Word.
The Word was God,
in readiness for God from day one.
3-5. Everything was created through him;
nothing, not one thing!
came into being without him.
What came into existence was Life,
and the Life was Light to live by.
The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;
the darkness couldn’t put it out
*God’s words have power,
*God’s words are life,
*God’s word from our text is something that we need to sink our teeth into and get a hold of!
I Am who I Am!!
The devil has had blinders on Gods people long enough!
You know Blinders, they limit what you see, but once there removed, (Praise God) you see the whole picture.
God, I pray that you would take away the blinders and let them see your Glory!!!!
And share this life changing message with everyone that’s in their life!
Ps. 103:2-3 NKJ.
2. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:
3. Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
The word doesn’t get any clearer on the subject, do not forget my benefits, I will forgive your sins and I will heal you, says the Great I Am!!
Do you believe Gods word to be true?
Well you say, of course we do, we just read it didn’t we.
Then tell me why, when we get an ache or a pain?.
The first thing we do, is grab the Advil or make an appointment with the doctor.
Ill tell you why, because doing that is easy, it doesn’t require any faith!
It keeps the emphasis on what we can do, instead of what Jesus did for us, on the cross
and what God has already told us, He would do for us, time and time again!
The first thing we should do is, lay hold of the word, lay hold of what God said He would do, Amen!
If we don’t, were only cheating ourselves each and every time out of what God wants to do for us,
The word says, and His is the first and last word on the subject, there is no higher authority!
I Am the Lord who heals you, I Am who I Am!
TBS. (the bible says) He wants to and He loves to bless His children!
These amazing truths need to be exposed to the world, they have been there for thousands of years for all believers to benefit from,
but yet people are still walking around in the dark concerning the benefits of God!
Jesus says in John 8:12-13 MSG.
12. Jesus once again addressed them: "I am the world’s Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in."
13. The Pharisees objected, "All we have is your word on this. We need more than this to go on."
Its so sad, but people are still saying the same thing still today,
They have the word, they’ve had the word forever and they still need more than the word to go on!
There is no higher authority to be had!
A word is all you need from God, He spoke the world into existence with His words,
One moment in His marvelous light, with His Grace and Favor shining down on you is all you need to go on!!
His word is more than enough to transform you from ordinary to extraordinary!!
One moment in Gods presence can turn any situation around, no matter what it is! Praise God!!
Need a river in your desert?, its not to hard for God, ya know!
Ps. 18:1-3 NKJ.
1. I will love You, O LORD, my strength.
2. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.
This was a Psalm of David, on the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
That day, was David’s river in the desert, that day was a big deal to David,
that day like all days, God was working all things together for Him, for His good!!
That day, he experienced Gods delivering power and presence!
Whatever you may be facing in your life, God is willing to do the same for you!
TBS. He’s not a respecter of persons you know, think about it for a minute?
The same power that saw David through his dilemma, is still available to you today!
He loves you and wants to take care of you, the same way He did David, a man after His own heart.
In fact, TBS. He delights in doing so!
Ps. 18:19 NKJ
19 He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
God takes delight in not only meeting, but exceeding our needs,
He is such a good God, there is no one else like Him, thank you just doesn’t seem enough, for all He does for us!!
Sometimes it makes you wonder, why does God love us so much?
The song; Oh, How I love Jesus/ Oh, How I love Jesus/ Oh, How I love Jesus/ Because He first Loved me.
That’s the answer, its His endless Love for us, that draws us to Him!
No, that’s not the answer, that’s why we love Him.
He knows all there is to know about each and everyone of us, He knows us better than we know ourselves and He still loves us!!
Romans 3:10-12 NKJ.
10. As it is written:
There is none righteous, no, not one;
11. There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12. They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.
You see, Its God’s essential nature to love, He demonstrates His love by lavishing it on undeserving people who are in rebellion against Him.
Gods love is not a sentimental, or a romantic kind of love.
But its a real love, its a true love, its called an "agape love," the love of self-sacrifice.
God’s love is personal, He knows each of us individually and loves us personally.
His is a powerful love that has no beginning and no end.
Why does God love us? It is because of who He is: "God is love."
Why would anyone not want to experience the Love of God?
With a love so strong for us,
Is it any wonder why, He wants to lavish His goodness upon us?
John 11:25-26 NKJ.
25. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
26. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?
MSG. says it like this,
25-26"You don’t have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live. And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. Do you believe this?"
He was talking to Mary, right before He raised Lazarus from the dead.
You see, she thought Jesus could resurrect him in the end times, but not right here, right now!
You don’t have to wait for Heaven to experience all Gods goodness that He has promised.
TBS. I Am right now!!! He is a right now God!!
God knows no boundaries, sure He has promised us Heaven for all of eternity and its going to be magnificent to say the least,
no eye hath seen, what God has in store for those that love Him, we can only imagine!
but He’s also promised us abundant life, right here, right now, if we are willing to walk in it,
John 10:10 NKJ.
10. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
An Abundant God-filled life, with Him pouring His blessings out on us, all along the way!!!
Praise God, can I get an Amen on that one anybody?
Are you enjoying the life that you’ve been given, God wants you to, you know?
He wants you to have a more and better life than you can even imagine!
All this isn’t my idea and plan for you,
But even if it were, is telling you how much God loves you and wants you to prosper and how much He wants to bless you, a bad thing
Its been Gods plan for you all along, and He had you specifically in mind when He designed it!
The old song, says it oh so well,
When he was on the cross
I was on his mind,
For He knew me
Yet he loved me
He whose glory makes the heavens shine
I’m not worthy of such mercy
But when he was on the cross
I was on his mind
Why not lay hold of these powerful truth’s, today?
Relationships are to be enjoyed all along the way, not just when you have reached your destination.
Otherwise people would never talk about, the good old days
Take the time to realize, how much God has already done for you and still continues to do for you on a daily basis!
God loves you so much, why not start enjoying the good old days, today!
Its not to late to enjoy the journey, to continue building and enjoying your relationship with Him, all along the way, each and every day!
And here’s the best part, the best part of the journey is yet to come, the part that lies ahead, Glory to God!!!
Lets pray,
