                          I Am That I Am!

Child of Mine, I am your all-sufficiency.  I am your life and I am your
provision and I am the source of your strength.  I am wisdom and I am
discernment and I am mighty on your behalf.  I am for you and not against
you.

Child of Mine, I am able to provide all of your needs -- physical and
spiritual and emotional.  I am able to satisfy the longing of your soul 
with Myself.  I am able to fill your mouth with good things and I am able 
to set My guard both before and behind you.  I am able to lead you and 
to guide you, and I am more than willing to do so.  Child, I am for you 
and I am not against you.  It is My desire that you prosper and that you 
be firmly established and rooted in Me.

I am He who ordains your all of days before even one of them ever came to 
pass.  I am He who has given you a destiny and I am He who empowers you 
to walk out that destiny.  I am He who thrusts you into victory and makes 
you an overcoming one.  I am He who fights with you, on your behalf. I am
the One who has good plans for you.

I am also the One who comforts you in the dark times.  I am with you in 
the times of sorrow and loss and I hold you in the hollow of My hand.  I 
am so close to you that nothing can separate you from My love.  I am the 
One who sees all things.  I am the One who accepts and forgives you when
you wander astray, and I am the good shepherd who leaves the flock to
go get you when you are unable to come back to Me of your own accord.  I 
am the One who prepares you for what lays ahead.  I am the One who teaches 
your hands to war.  I am the One who prospers all that you touch, that My 
name may be glorified through you. I am the One who covers you with My 
wings and gives you rest and protection.  I am the One who puts My Spirit 
within you, the One that seals you until the day of redemption. 

I am your maker and your creator.  I am also your master and your king.
And I am your loving Father, who has accepted you in the beloved.  I am 
the One who will not push you away and who draws you close to Myself.  
I am that I am -- and I am for you.  My heart and My attention are turned 
toward you.  I am mighty on your behalf.  I am your dearest friend and I 
will never leave of abandon you.  

I exist always, I am in all times at once and I see all things at once,
and yet I have a great care for every detail in your life.  I am all
knowing, nothing can surprise Me or catch Me off guard.  Yet I am a
pleasable God, who takes great pleasure in the praises and obedience of
His people.  I am not far from you,  I am close to your side.  You can
approach Me always, for I am here for you.  Yes, I am!

And because I am all of these things to you, you are fully established
in Me.  Because I live, you also live.  Because I can do all things,
you can also do all things with Me.  For I am your life and your hope and
I am your all in all.  And I am with you no matter where you go.  I am 
faithful, you can trust Me.  I am your Lord and your master and Your God 
and I will never leave or forsake you.
