                      I AM 

I AM that I AM.  I AM the bright and morning star, I AM the lily of the 
valley, I AM the bridge over troubled water, I AM the great I AM. I AM 
the one that scooped up nothing and made something, I AM scooped the dust 
from the earth and made man in My image, I AM did this.  I AM placed the 
stars, moon and sun in the sky, man had nothing to do with any of this, 
I AM divided the waters and separated them from the earth, I AM made 
morning and darkness.  I AM put your heart into your body, every bone, 
every vessel, every thing in your body. I AM said I will go and redeem 
man, I will take his place that he might LIVE. I AM was born of a virgin 
and came forth. I AM Jesus saith the Lord. I went on the cross and shed 
My blood that you might have life everlasting.  I AM is He that promised 
victory, healing, restoration, renewal. 

I AM laid the foundation for you, My children. I AM opens the door and 
no man can shut. I AM closes the door and no man can open. I AM does 
these things.  I AM can see down the road, I AM can hear the cries of My 
children, I AM can also wipe those tears away.  Just as I AM took nothing 
and made something, I AM can take something and make much saith the Lord. 
I AM the judge that judges righteously, I AM the doctor that operates 
and never leaves a scar. I AM the teacher that gives good grades to My 
children. Even when they score little, I do not hold that against them, 
for I know their hearts. 

I AM that I AM, and I love you My children.  I AM will never leave you 
nor forsake you. I AM the secret place that you can run to and hide. I 
AM the peace speaker, I AM El Shaddai, the God who is more than enough, 
your all sufficient one.  I AM that I AM, as I told Moses when he asked, 
"Who shall I say sent me." I told him to tell them that My name is I AM. 
I say to you I AM is here for you, I AM will fight your battles, I AM 
will make the darkness light before you, I AM will take what is wrong and 
I'll make it right before you. I AM will fight all your battles before 
you and the high places I will bring down.  I AM the way, the truth and 
the life.  I AM Jesus. I AM loves you.
