Permanent
Read – John 1:1-18

Scripture: “I AM the Lord your God, I do not change (Malachi 3:6).”

Denial: “My identity will never change.”

Affirmation: “My spirit is wholeness. My soul is healing. My body is

manifesting that health.”
I AM is always permanent because it speaks of us as spiritual beings.
The I AM is that spiritual part of us that is, always has been, and
forever will be. Spirit is everlasting and is not limited to form, time,
or space. Our spirits take on forms called bodies. When the Spirit
leaves the body, it continues to be, because it is permanent.
Because I AM is permanent, it is essential that we never attach the
words, I AM, to anything that is not permanent. We are never to
associate the words I AM, with anything that is not eternal. For
example, many people say, I am sick, to describe the feelings of
discomfort or pain that they may be experiencing. They also use the
words, I am sick, to express a diagnosis or prognosis that they have
received from a doctor.
In reality, the I AM is not sick. God is not sick and has never been
sick, nor is the I AM of our being sick. It is better to say that I feel
sick because feelings are temporary. Feelings fade. Saying I feel sick,
reminds us that this is not a permanent condition but a temporary
experience. Describing sickness as a feeling, renews our minds
about the truth that I AM health, and this sickness did not come to
stay, it is just passing through our bodies.
Reflection Question: What are the things in your life that are
permanent?

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
