The Great I AM!!

Hello and Welcome to The Gathering, Daughters of the Living King, where women seek to know and experience the love of Christ. I am your host, Judy Killebrew, and my experience and passion is in encouraging and empowering women and their walk of Faith With the Lord.  Hebrews 10:25 states “And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” 

Who is I AM? In Exodus 3:14, God states His name for the first time: “God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ And He said, ‘Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you’” 

The name of I AM is how God chose to introduce himself, becoming so sacred that in Judaism, the name is not to be spoken. The significance of God’s self-given name encompasses all that He is. The God who spoke to Moses out of the burning bush is real.  He says his name is “I Am".

We can find that Jesus refers to himself as the light. “I am the light. I am the life. I am The Good Shepherd. I am the door. I am the bread of life. I am The Vine. I am the way, the truth, and the life. Before Abraham was, I am.” All of these verses refer to the deity. The Son, Jesus Christ, is distinct from the Father; and he is divine, equal, and of identical being with God and the Holy Spirit. And just as in Exodus 3:14 when Moses asked for the name of God, he is told his name is, “I am.”

And all of this matters because it is this unshakeable identity that we have as daughters of the Most High King. It is our identity in Christ and our Maker that gives us an unmovable foundation beneath our feet. In I AM there is nothing else that can ever promise such reliability and strength in our life. Everything else changes with the wind because of how fickle the world and the people in it are. But, the Creator of the heavens and the earth never changes. He is who He says He is. And you are who He says you are.

Being a daughter of 'I Am' signifies that we are a child of God, with a deep, personal connection and we are seen as loved, cherished, and having access to His power and protection. 

We can get lost in I AM’s grace and love, and marvel that He chose us, just as we are. He shapes us to be more like him, to represent Him as a member of His family. And By the power of the Holy Spirit, we walk and talk as a Daughter of the King, I Am.
