Exodus 3:14 – “God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM.”

In my time before the LORD, I was drawn to the declaration of God to Moses at the burning bush – “I AM THAT I AM.”    What is in a name?  Everything?  When God spoke to Moses from the bush and declared His name, it revealed His nature and character.  It identified Him, not just what He is called.

When He declared His name to be “I AM THAT I AM,” we have an amazing revelation.

• I AM THAT I AM expressing the eternity of being, comprehending, and composing time past, present, and future.  His timelessness is revealed.  [Revelation 1:4].

• I AM THAT I AM expresses God’s Self-Existence.  

That He IS.  He is the source of life and depends on nothing or no one outside of Himself for His very existence. [John 1:1-4; Acts 17:28]

• I AM THAT I AM expresses the Essential Attributes of God, such as Omnipotence (All Powerful), Omnipresence (All Present), and Omniscience (All Knowing and All Seeing).

His Name could be rendered, “I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE.” Whatever we need, HE IS.   Whenever we need Him, HE IS!   This God, the Creator of All things, the Self-Existent Eternal God, is our Father!  He has adopted us into the Family through the Blood of Jesus.  We are now heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus.  We are more than conquerors.  We are victors, according to God’s Covenant and Name!

The question is, why do we live as Paupers in the Palace when He has commissioned us to reign as kings?   Why do we allow the defeated devil to intimidate us when we have been given All Authority through Jesus?  Why do we doubt when God cannot lie, die, or fail?

Today, rise up and embrace Who He is, and in that revelation, embrace who you are! You are a New Creation in Jesus!  You are Born-Again through the Blood of Jesus.  You are More than a Conqueror through Jesus.  You are covered, protected, and provided for by the I AM THAT I AM!  Today is your day to begin living victoriously!

Father, help us to recognize You as The Living God!
