Spoken I AMs

Read – John 6:53-70

Scripture: “It is the Spirit that gives life, not the flesh. The words
that I speak, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).”

Denial: “There is no limit to who I can be.”

Affirmation: “Everything that Jesus Christ said about himself, I can
say about myself.”

Jesus, our Wayshower, understood the power of his words. Therefore, he made a conscious decision to speak life. When Jesus said the words, I AM, he meant what he said. He was declaring his divine nature and the truth of his being. When we see Jesus as our Wayshower, it brings our attention to the truth that everything that Jesus said about himself, we can say about ourselves. Every I AM statement that Jesus made in the scriptures we can declare about ourselves.

There are seven recorded instances where Jesus actually begins a statement with the words, I AM. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35). I AM the Light of the World (John 9:5). I AM the Good Shepherd (John 10:11-14). I AM the Door (John 10:19). I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). I AM the True Vine (John 15:1). I AM Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25).

It is amazing that all of these instances are found in the book of John. According to Charles Fillmore, the co-founder of the Unity Movement, the disciple, John, represents love. When we operate in
love, we are always empowered to speak and manifest the power of God. “Every person who loves, knows God for God is love (I John 4:18).”

Reflection Question: Which I AM statement resonates most
with you? Why

  Who do you desire to be when you grow up? Read – I John 3:1-10 Scripture : “Beloved, now we are the offspring of God, and what  we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when  Christ appears, we will be mirror images (I John 3:1).” Denial : “My life is not about wants, but desires.” Affirmation : “I AM becoming more of the beloved offspring of  God that I already AM.” T.J. Holmes, an award-winning journalist and ABC news anchor and  correspondent, was the keynote speaker at my daughter,  Courtney’s, graduation from Walden University on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland.  It was one of the largest graduations that I had ever attended. There  were graduates there from all over the earth. I cried from the time  the commencement address began until it ended. It was more than  me being proud of my daughter’s accomplishment of getting a  master’s degree in business administration. It was deeper than the  gathering of family an

Yes!

“Yes!” “ Let your yes be yes, and your no be no ... (Matthew 5:37).” “Yes!” is a one-word prayer. “Yes!” says that you are open to Divine unlimited ideas and receptive to all the good that God has for you. God withholds no good thing from those who walk upright before him (Psalm 84:11). “Yes!” keeps you upright, operating in your higher consciousness. “Yes!” says that you offer the Holy Spirit no resistance to what God desires to do with you, for you, in you and as you. “Yes!” aligns your will with the will of God. “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God (Hebrews 10:7).” In one word, “Yes,!” you tell God that you will be who God created you to be, say what God is calling you to say, do what God is leading you to do, and go where God desires for you to go. Say “Yes!” to health and experience your healing. Say “Yes!” to harmony and experience the love that you desire and deser
