Go to link above for today's message!
Greetings Truth Seekers! I love you! But, Jesus, our Savior a.k.a. LORD a.k.a. Psalm 23 Shepherd and 1 Peter 2:5 Bishop over our souls loves you more! This is the day that The LORD has made and despite all that is going on that is contrary to the way of The Truth, we will still honor LORD Jesus in our thoughts, with the fruit of our lips, and our actions, in accordance with His word, will, and way for our lives! Our key foundational passages of Scripture are Isaiah 55:6-7(NLT), “...Seek The LORD while you can find Him. Call on Him now while He is near. Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to The LORD that He may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our GOD, for He will forgive generously.”
Once again it is a privilege and an honor of The LORD to share with you the word of Truth that will fulfill what He has charged, ordained, anointed, and sent me to do, and minister. According to Acts 26:18, LORD Jesus said, “...open their eyes, in order to turn them from Darkness to Light, and from the power of Satan to GOD, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”
At our last gathering, pertaining to the message entitled “JESUS IS LORD”, on Apr 10th, 2022, we covered (Part 4). If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/jesus-is-lord-part-4/
Thus far, in our JESUS IS LORD message, we have come to the full realization of understanding who Jesus is as our LORD, SAVIOR, and MESSIAH. Finally, we will conclude the message entitled “JESUS IS LORD”, with (Part 5). And we will do so by expounding upon who Jesus is as the “I AM THAT I AM” GOD in our lives. In doing so, by faith, and based on the truth of what the Scripture declaratively reveals, we will have a clearer understanding of the infiniteness of the “I AM” GOD and His omnipotently all-powerful abilities to be and do anything He has predetermined to come to pass, yesterday, today, and forevermore. The “I AM” GOD has even made His boast about Himself being second-to-none in omniscience and omnipotence. It is written according to Isaiah 46:9-10:
Isaiah 46:9-10(KJV), “…Remember the former things of old: for I am GOD, and there is none else; I am GOD, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.’”
Now, before we get into the gist of the word of The LORD, for the sake of providing an overall understanding of what is being presented, I realize that wisdom is to first define the key words, phrases, and referenced names that are stated in the title and subtopic’s title. The purpose for doing so is because defining the “key” words, phrases, and referenced names that are stated in the title and subtopic’s title, assists in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective of its primary meaning. Also, in doing so, it will inspire one, as the Holy Spirit guides, with the ability to interpret, translate and cognizantly determine how to make application of its wisdom, which in turn inspires one’s desire to become more and more reflective of becoming and being likened to a Philippians 3:20 Kingdom citizen in mindset, attitude, and lifestyle.
Today’s Key title term is the "I AM THAT I AM" GOD:
NOTE: Key definition of title termed I AM THAT I AM, according to Nave's Topical Bible @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=NT0002444, “I Am That I Am: A Name of Deity; Exd 3:14; Rev 1:4, 11, 17..."
NOTE: Key definition, etymology, and interpretation of the title termed I AM THAT I AM, according to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_that_I_Am:
Definition: "I Am that I Am" is a common English translation of the Hebrew phrase אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (’ehye ’ăšer ’ehye; pronounced [ʔehˈje ʔaˈʃer ʔehˈje])– also "I am who I am", "I will become what I choose to become", "I am what I am", "I will be what I will be", "I create what(ever) I create", or "I am the Existing One".[1] The traditional English translation within Judaism favors "I will be what I will be" because there is no present tense of the verb "to be" in the Hebrew language.
Etymology: I AM THAT I AM, “…Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh; אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (’ehye ’ăšer ’ehye) is the first of three responses given to Moses when he asks for God's name in the Book of Exodus.[2] The word אֶהְיֶה (’Ehyeh) is the first person form of hayah, 'to be', and owing to the peculiarities of Hebrew grammar means 'I am', 'I was', and 'I will be'.[3] The meaning of the longer phrase ’ehyeh ’ăšer ’ehyeh is debated, and might be seen as a promise ('I will be with you') or as statement of incomparability ('I am without equal')…”
Interpretation: I AM THAT I AM, “…According to the Hebrew Bible, in the encounter of the burning bush (Exodus 3:14) Moses asks what he is to say to the Israelites when they ask what the gods ('Elohiym) have sent him to them, and Yahweh replies, "I am who I am," adding, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'I am has sent me to you.'"[4] It is somewhat remarkable that despite this exchange, the Israelites never ask Moses for the name of God.[13] Then there are a number of probably unanswerable questions, including who it is that does not know God's name, Moses or the Israelites (most commentators take it that it is Moses who does not know, meaning that the Israelites will ask him the name in order to prove his credentials), and just what the statement means….”
Now that we have a greater understanding of the "I AM THAT I AM" GOD, based on the given definitions, if you have not already done so, it’s time to get your Bible and/or your Bible app and let’s be like the Acts 17:11 Bereans, and with the help of enlightenment from the Holy Ghost, search Scripture for ourselves to read, study and consume these truths pertaining to who the “I AM THAT I AM” GOD is in the life of every Born again Believer. And we will also receive the “key” on how to seek His “I AMness”, in every capacity, and according to John 14:13-15, be blessed with anything that we ask of Him! Now let’s get into the gist of the message:
Dear Truth Seeker, even the Spiritually blind can see that more than ever before, we need the LORD GOD to manifest Himself in His infinite I AM THAT I AMness as He did in the day when He groomed and sent Moses forth to become the leader who would become the deliverer used to bring the Hebrews out of the iron clutches of the bondages of Pharaoh. And just as Moses was groomed by GOD and sent forth to do the will of The Heavenly FATHER, in these perilous times, wisdom is for all Believers, no matter the capacity of rank in the Kingdom of GOD, to be led by the Romans 8:14 Holy Spirit of GOD The FATHER, GOD The Son, and GOD The Holy Ghost. Why? Because according to Romans 8:28 at the completion of every assignment, the outcome will be good for those who love GOD and are the called according to His purpose.
And just as Moses needed the affirmation of the "I AM THAT I AM" infinite wisdom and wherewithal capacity of GOD on his side, those of us who serve GOD according to His will for our lives need Him in those capacities as well. So let us glean from the wisdom Moses used in seeking the affirmation of GOD before going forth in the will of GOD. It is written according to Exodus 3:13-15:
Exodus 3:13-15(KJV), “…And Moses said unto GOD, “Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, ‘The GOD of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say unto them?” And GOD said unto Moses, “I Am That I Am:” and He said, “Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, ‘I Am hath sent me unto you.’ And GOD said moreover unto Moses, “Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD GOD of your fathers, The GOD of Abraham, The GOD of Isaac, and The GOD of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is My name for ever, and this is My memorial unto all generations.”
My dear Truth Seeker, because of his humble meekness in spirit, Moses was given a promise in the latter part of the context of Exodus 3:13-15. It revealed the “key” to understanding that as GOD was with Moses, throughout the generations, whenever He sends a person or people to do His will, He assures that His “I AM” omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, will be all that is needed to get the victory.
Truth is, when GOD declared Exodus 3:15, “…this is My name for ever, and this is My memorial unto all generations,” He gave us a “key” that unlocks the ability to wholeheartedly realize that His promise to Moses was not limited to a certain Nationality of people, but through Christ Jesus, the promise was made and is also extended toward all generations, which is inclusive toward all Believers of Christ Jesus who are of every Nationality as well! For it is written according to Galatians 3:26-29:
Galatians 3:26-29(KJV), “…For ye are all the children of GOD by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Now that we have a basic understanding and Scripture based wisdom that the “I AM THAT I AM” GOD is the GOD of all children who are born-again from above, by faith in Christ Jesus, we must go forth realizing that we are heirs, and joint heirs to The Throne of GOD through Jesus. Again, Galatians 3:26-29 revealed that when we were baptized into Christ, we put on Christ. In doing so, there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female when we put on Christ: for we are all one in Christ Jesus. And since we are Christ's, we are Abraham's seed, and heirs of the “I AM THAT I AM” GOD!” Amen.
Now, let us close according to the wisdom, revelation knowledge, and understanding of LORD Jesus as our “I AM THAT I AM” GOD. For Jesus revealed to us that nothing is impossible with GOD. Yes, and again, GOD is the “I AM THAT I AM” that can bring anything to pass. Jesus gave us the “key” to manifesting the “I AM” power of GOD in the context of John 14:13-15:
John 14:13-15(KJV), “…And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that The FATHER may be glorified in The Son. If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it. If ye love Me, keep My commandments.”
KEY 1 of John 14:13-15: All that is asked of the Heavenly FATHER must be asked in Jesus’ name. Period.
KEY 2 of John 14:13-15: All that is asked in Jesus’ name must glorify GOD and be to the glory of GOD The FATHER.
KEY 3 of John 14:15: Jesus said, "...If ye love Me, keep My commandments.” Psalm 84:11 reveals that "...the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.”
Amen to ABBA FATHER’S Holy Word, in Jesus’ name! Matthew 11:27
It has been an honorable privilege to, by the Power and Authority of The Holy Spirit of The LORD of Hosts, to cover today’s Living Word of Truth message titled “JESUS IS LORD” (Part 5) with the Subtopic: ‘Savior, Messiah, I AM THAT I AM’ with you! Let us go forth, filled with the knowledge of GOD’S will, in all wisdom and Spiritual/spiritual understanding; that we may walk worthily of the call of The LORD on our lives, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of GOD; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious Power, enduring long sufferings with patience, and joy. Let us also continually give thanks to our Heavenly FATHER who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of all His Saints who are of The Light. And most of all, we thank Him for the will, mindset, skill, and wherewithal abilities, to wholeheartedly believe Him at His word and obey it!
To all "Living Word of Truth" Truth Seekers, if The LORD says the same, we will resume next Sunday, 5.1.2022, from Heaven’s Throne of GOD The FATHER, GOD The Word, and GOD The Holy Ghost!
Let us pray. “Heavenly FATHER let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on Earth as You have predetermined it to be so in Heaven. Be glorified like never before. Thank You for endowing us with Your love, joy, peace, favor, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, wise counsel, might, reverential fear of You, health, wealth, true riches, Spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear, and heart to obey You. Thank You for Your Psalm 91:11/2 Kings 6:17 angel armies standing guard night and day in our midst. Thank You for empowering us to speak Your word as You inspire us to do so, and it manifests accordingly. Thank You for covering us with Your sinless Blood, and continually delivering us, and keeping us safe from the wiles and plans of the Evil One, and all who work on his behalf. For Thine is The Kingdom, All Power, and All Glory. Amen”
