The Bishop’s Mind: Christian Wisdom, Daily Devotionals & Empowering Messages for Kingdom Living

Present Tense Read – Psalm 139:1-18 Scripture : “ Lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the age. Amen. (Matthew 28:20) .” Denial : “God has never and will never leave me.” Affirmation : “There is Only One Power and One Presence, and I AM one with that power and presence.” God is omnipresence. God is all the presence there is. There is no  presence outside of God. God is the everywhere, evenly present,  Spirit of Absolute Good. We do not use the limiting adjective, omnipresent, to describe God. Instead, we say, omnipresence,  because no other being can make such a claim.  Omni means all. As human beings, we are not omnipresent. Our  bodies cause us to be in a particular place at a particular time.  Although we are not omnipresent, as heirs of God and joint heirs  with Christ Jesus, our presence makes a difference (Romans 8:17). When we are conscious of the I AM of our being, we can change any environment from negative to positive, just by b...

  I AM Positive   Read – Philippians 4:4-9 Scripture : “ But by the grace of God, I AM what I AM (I Corinthians 15:10) !” Denial – “I refuse to be affected by negativity.” Affirmation – “I AM a positive person. The words I speak are positive prayers. Therefore, I get positive results.” I AM is always positive because it speaks of our God nature. God is  good and always positive. We are made in the image and likeness  of God; therefore, the I AM of our being is always positive (Genesis 1:16-28). God created the worlds through the words (Hebrews 11:3).  God said, “Let there be light and there was light (Genesis 1:5).”  As the beloved offspring of God, we have that same power,  authority, and ability to create our world with our words (Romans  4:17). Therefore, it is imperative that we never attach the words, I  AM, to anything that is not positive. We are never to associate the  words, I AM, with anything that is not our highest good. I...

  I AM that I AM Read – Exodus 3:1-22 Scripture : “ And God said unto Moses, I AM that I AM (Exodus 3:14) .” Denial : “There is no limit to the I AM presence.” Affirmation : “God is. I AM. We are!” When God called Moses to bring the children of Israel out of  bondage, Moses was challenged by the assignment. He asked God  for a name to reference when he told Pharaoh, “Let my people go.” I AM THAT I AM is the response Moses was given.  I AM THAT I AM means all sufficiency and all encompassing. I AM  THAT I AM means total self-existence and self-reliance. I AM THAT  I AM means complete independence from anyone or anything else  for life. I AM THAT I AM is all that there is. God is I AM THAT I AM. Another way of saying I AM THAT I AM is  Jehovah. We are made in the image and likeness of the I AM THAT  I AM. Therefore, we are I AM in the earth.  I AM THAT I AM is the God of gods. We are gods. I AM THAT I AM  is King of kings. We are kin...
