SCRIPTURE:

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. (Exodus 3:14)

DEVOTIONAL:

(In the story of Lazarus being raised to life), watch Jesus’ response to Martha, Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said to her, “I am…” Wait a minute. Now, there’s a powerful revelation right there. Jesus said what? First, He said, “I am.” He had to say, “I am,” because there is no future where you and I came from. We were born again from above, from heaven’s atmosphere. There is no time where we came from. Everything is now. 

“I AM” is the same thing He told Moses when Moses asked God, “Who shall I say sent me?” God answered, “Tell them I AM hath sent you” (Exodus 3:14).  I AM… the Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning, the End, the Resurrection, and the Life. Jesus was saying, “When you get Me, you get the past, present, and future.” He was saying to Martha, “I don’t need to wait until the end to raise him up. I AM the end.”

Faith enables us to bring things into the now. And the force of faith is launched in words. Once you come into faith, faith always wins, and faith brings it into where you want it to be. 

PRAYER:

Dear God, You are I AM, Thank you that I have been born from above where there is no future—all things are now. I receive my miracle now! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
