I AM...

PAINTING: “Father Forgive Them” 

by Akiane Kramarik

I often tell my Mom, I am going to 
run errands or I'm going shopping.
We call each other at least three 
times each week. She is used to 
me saying I am going some where
today.  

There is nothing special about 
me saying,  "I am." It is very 
significant when the Lord says,
" I AM".  He often tells Moses 
and His Disciples to tell people, 
I AM sent you! These are words 
that denote power and reverence.
His Followers would have fear and
obey when they heard these words. 

I love reading the scriptures about
"I AM" and how the people acted 
when they heard these words.
Here are a few of my favorite
scriptures:

GENESIS 26:24

And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I Am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I Am 

with you. I will bless you and multiply 

your descendants for My servant Abraham’s sake.”

GENESIS 28:13

And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: “I Am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.

EXODUS 3:14

And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

EXODUS 6:7

I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I Am the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

LEVITICUS 11:45

For I Am the Lord who brings you up out

of the land of Egypt, to be your God.You shall therefore be holy, for I Am Holy.

 LEVITICUS 22:32

You shall not profane My holy name, but

I will be hallowed among the children of Israel. I Am the Lord who sanctifies you.

 

DEUTERONOMY 1:42

“And the Lord said to me, ‘Tell 

them,“Do not go up nor fight, 

for I am not among you; lest you 

be defeated before your enemies.”

ISAIAH 42:8

I Am the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.

EZEKIEL 6:10

And they shall know that I Am the Lord; 

I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.”

MALACHI 3:6

“For I Am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O

sons of Jacob.

MARK 8:27

Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on 

the road He asked His disciples, saying 

to them, “Who do men say that I am?”

LUKE 9:18-20

¹⁸ And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him,
and He asked them, saying, “Who do 
the crowds say that I am?”
¹⁹ So they answered and said, “John 
the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”Peter answered and said,“The Christ of God.”

JOHN  7:29

But I know Him, for I am from Him, and 

He sent Me.”

ACTS 9:5

  

And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

REVELATION 1:8

“I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
