“I AM...”

-


In the Old Testament, God identified himself as “I AM THAT I AM”. Jesus also made  eight “I AM” statements expressing fundamental truths about himself. When we are  born again, we are changed, and our spirit is completely renewed. The scriptures tell us what happens to us at that point, and we too, can express our new identity in Christ in a series of ‘I am’ statements.

I am a new creation – a completely new species of being. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 I am a child of God. Romans 8.16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

I am a joint heir with Christ of God’s glory and power. Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

I am exactly like Jesus in my spirit. 1John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

I am God’s workmanship – created to do the good works God has prepared for me. Ephesians 2:10 (ASV) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.

I am an overcomer. Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

 I am more than a conqueror. Romans 8:37 Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

I am an ambassador for Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye  reconciled to God.

I am a good soldier of Christ. 2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

I am the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5.21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

I am healed. 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

I am prosperous in every area of my life. 3John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

I am free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Prophetess Deborah and Lapidoth

Prophetess Deborah and Lapidoth Judg.4.4 - And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. You are woman with a high calling from the Lord, your heart is burning with passion, there are dealings along the area of God's purpose , but there is an issue. I have seen God moving mightily upon some women but there is a concern about who will marry them. Beloved sister, first you must know that you dont need to be married to be the best of God for your life or in your calling.  Marriage may give you a status but not a calling. That is why you must be careful. My heart is with you and I can feel your pains. Yes, the pressure of the society will always be there but you must be resolute about your choice of picking your calling or a status. Now this is not to knock up the idea of marriage but to tell you not to “loose” that calling for a status. I want you to know that you can be strong in your calling and still be happily be married, you don...

NOT JUST FORGIVEN, BUT MADE RIGHTEOUS TOO

  For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 At the cross, Jesus did not just take away your sins, but He also gave you His righteousness! A divine exchange took place—your sins for His righteousness. This means that, today, you are as righteous as Christ Himself, not because of your good works, but because of His finished work! So place your hand over your heart right now and boldly declare: I, (state your name), AM the righteousness of God in Christ! Come on, say it out loud at least three times and believe it in your heart. Learn to speak this powerful truth to and over yourself every day. If the enemy tells you, “You’re a bad Christian and that’s why you’re sick,” just declare, “I AM RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST! By His stripes I am healed!” Beloved, when you meditate on and honor the work of the Son that has made you righteous, you’ll see His healing for every weakness, distress and pain! You’ll see Him ush...

IDENTIFICATION

  IDENTITY IN CHRIST 2Corinthians 5:17 says,  “Therefore if any man be in  Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;  behold, all things are become new.”  The phrase “in Christ” is a terminology that is used over 300 times in the New Testament, always referring to a vital union relationship with God. Once that takes place, you become  a  new creature. Some  translations  actually say “a new creation.” This leads to  a critical issue that I believe is imperative to  understanding your new identity in Christ: It did not take place in  the physical realm. It  isn’t talking about your physical body, saying that it completely changes, that your looks change. If a person was fat before they were saved, they’ll still be fat afterward, unless they go on a diet. It also isn’t talking about your mental or emotional  part—what most people  consider to be the real “them.” If you weren’t too smart before ...
