Day 9: I am...Not


I am not ____________________.

How would you fill in the blank?

Oh how easy it is to tell you who I am not,

as the list would go on and on...

But then I look up

And Jesus says

I AM

Therefore

You are not who you believe yourself to be because

I AM

I AM HE ~

The One Who Was from the very beginning (John 4:26; 1:1)

I AM the Bread of Life~

the One Who fully satisfies all our hungers and thirsts (John 6:35; Philippians 4:19)

I AM the Light of the world~

the One Who illuminates the darkest of dark with His Truth (John 9:5)

I AM the Door of the sheep~

the One Who welcomes whomever walks through...

to save, to give abundant life (John 10:7; 10)

I AM the Good Shepherd~

the One Who knows our name and Who gave up His life for (John 10:11; 4-15)

I AM the Son of God~

The One Who makes us His Child (John 10:36; 1:12-13)

I AM the resurrection and the life~

the One Who raises us from our fallen state by giving us

His life (John 11:25; 1 John 5:11-12)

I AM the way, and the truth and the life~

the One Who we follow because He knows the way we should take,

that is paved with Truth

that breathes life into our breathless body (John 14:6)

I AM the true vine~

The One Who we abide in so that we bear His fruit (John 15:1; 15:4)

I AM the Alpha and the Omega~

the One

Who WAS,

Who IS

and

Who IS TO COME (Revelations 1:8)

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man And He placed His right hand on me, saying,

"Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, (Revelations 1:17)

Then

How can we ever say that

that

I am not?

If He is what I am not

then I am all that He has come to bring.

So I ask you again

How would you now fill in...

I am not ____________________.

Cross out

"Not"

because

He is all that you are not.

So today

Let’s fast from the weight of

"I am not"

By

Holding on to the hand of

I AM~

Who changes every one of your

I am not

to

I am _____________________

Because

He said

I AM!
