WHO AM I?This is a question I ask myself regularly.EXODUS 3:11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
I love the manner in which Moses expresses to God….WHO AM I?….How many times do we ask God who are we to be called?
4 characteristics that we all have that hinder us from walking in the Power of God and the fullness thereof……
1. Low Self Esteem.
One thing I especially here from the church these days is I cant, I cant, I cant…..Theres a quote I love, Think highly of yourself, for the world takes you at your own estimate. Moses’ first reaction to God’s call was to say “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh … ?” After all, Moses was an ex-Hebrew slave, a murderer, and now a humble sheepherder. He didn’t think he was worthy to represent God and all too often, neither do we.
2.Ignorance.
The WORD of GOD is clear, Hosea 4:6 ..because of the lack of knowledge my people will perish…...Moses wasn’t sure who God was, and God had to educate him: “I am God of your father, the God of Abraham …” (Exodus 3:6.) Just as important, He revealed Himself to be a God who cares: “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry … I am aware of their sufferings.” (Exodus 3:7). You see, if we know God for who He is — loving, trustworthy, full of good intentions for our lives — we will be more willing to follow wherever He leads us, and we can only know these things about Him by studying His word.
3.Doubt(Lack of Belief)
We must deep root ourselves in faith and God will shew us his ways……Moses was actually doubting whether God’s plan would work: “Then Moses answered and said, ‘What if they will not believe me, or listen to what I say?” (Exodus 4:1) God responded to that doubt by giving Moses solid evidence — turning his staff into a snake, for example. And while we must never rely on miracles to sustain our faith, we should think objectively about all the evidence in our lives and in God’s Word that He can and will do just as He says! Moses basically was acting like “Doubting Thomas” when he said he would only believe when he saw for himself that Jesus was alive and felt the nail scarred hands and the pierced side.
4. Inadequacy.
When God told Moses he would have to address Pharaoh, he said, “Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent … for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” (Exodus 4:10)Now, we all feel inadequate at times, and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s OK to be humble — as long as you move forward anyway.
In fact, the key to breaking down your faith barriers is acknowledging your poor self-image, your ignorance, your doubt, and your inadequacies; setting them aside, and then moving forward anyway. The good news is that you don’t have to move in your own strength. You have God’s power in you! He reminds us all through the Word, He tells us to GO FORTH, but reassures us that he will be with us throughout the whole journey. Praise God! What we have to remember is what is written in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!”If God is for us, who can be against us?”Romans 8:31
II.WHO ARE YOU?
EXODUS 3:13-14And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
How many times do we ask God who are we to be called?I have an idea lets forget about who we are or are not and try to focus on him and his
God from heaven hears the hurt and pain and grumblings of his people and you and I are being called to show them his LOVE on this Earth then why do we continue asking WHO AM I, AND START PROCLAIMING WHO HE IS!
I AM THAT I AM!THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.THE ETERNAL GOD OF CREATION.WHO WAS, IS, AND WILL BE FOREVER.He is who his name says he IS!
JEHOVAH: LORD in our English Bibles (all capitals). Yahweh is the covenant name of God. Occurs 6823 times in the OT First use Gen. 2:4 (Jehovah Elohim). From the verb “to be”, havah, similar to chavah (to live), “The Self-Existent One,” “I AM WHO I AM” or ‘I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE” as revealed to Moses at the burning bush, Ex.3. The name of God, too sacred to be uttered, abbreviated ( . . . . ) or written “YHWH” without vowel points. The tetragrammaton. Josh., Judges, Sam., and Kings use Jehovah almost exclusively. The love of God is conditioned upon His moral and spiritual attributes. (Dan. 9:14; Ps. 11:7; Lev. 19:2; Hab. 1:12). Note Deut. 6:4, 5 known to Jews as the Sh’ma uses both Jehovah and Elohim to indicate one God with a plurality of persons.JEHOVAH-JIREH: “The Lord will Provide.” Gen. 22:14. From “jireh” (“to see” or “to provide,” or to “foresee” as a prophet.) God always provides, adequate when the times come.JEHOVAH-ROPHE: “The Lord Who Heals” Ex. 15:22-26. From “rophe” (“to heal”); implies spiritual, emotional as well as physical healing. (Jer. 30:17, 3:22; Isa. 61:1) God heals body, soul and spirit; all levels of man’s being.JEHOVAH-NISSI: “The Lord Our Banner.” Ex. 17:15. God on the battlefield, from word which means “to glisten,” “to lift up,” See Psalm 4:6.JEHOVAH-M’KADDESH: “The Lord Who Sanctifies” “To make whole, set apart for holiness.” The Lord says: “Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God. Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the Lord, who makes you holy.” (Leviticus 20:7-8)JEHOVAH-SHALOM: “The Lord Our Peace” Judges 6:24. “Shalom” translated “peace” 170 times means “whole,” “finished,” “fulfilled,” “perfected.” Related to “well,” welfare.” Deut. 27:6; Dan. 5:26; I Kings 9:25 8:61; Gen. 15:16; Ex. 21:34, 22:5, 6; Lev. 7:11-21. Shalom means that kind of peace that results from being a whole person in right relationship to God and to one’s fellow man.SHEPHERD: Psa. 23, 79:13, 95:7, 80:1, 100:3; Gen. 49:24; Isa. 40:11.JUDGE: Psa. 7:8, 96:13.JEHOVAH ELOHIM: “LORD God” Gen. 2:4; Judges 5:3; Isa. 17:6; Zeph. 2:9; Psa. 59:5, etc.JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU “The Lord Our Righteousness” Jer. 23:5, 6, 33:16. From “tsidek” (straight, stiff, balanced – as on scales – full weight, justice, right, righteous, declared innocent.) God our Righteousness.JEHOVAH-ROHI: “The Lord Our Shepherd” Psa. 23, from “ro’eh” (to pasture).JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH: “The Lord is There” (Ezek. 48:35).JEHOVAH-SABAOTH: “The Lord of Hosts” The commander of the angelic host and the armies of God. Isa. 1:24; Psa. 46:7, 11; 2 Kings 3:9-12; Jer. 11:20 (NT: Rom. 9:29; James 5:4, Rev. 19: 11-16).
WE HAVE BEEN REDEEMED AND CALLED BY GOD TO BE HIS.
If we begin to understand who God and what his character is like then we will without question be able to live a thriving life, walking in Spirit and in truth…..When we walk Marching to the drum of Gods heartbeat there is no one that will be able deny The power of God in your lives, and I believe that will be the difference between this generation and the generations before us.
In the Last days he said he will pour out his Spirit, God is going to anoint this generation in Glory to the point of saturation so that many will come to ther knowledge of the ONE TRUE GOD, AND HIS LOVE.
ROMANS 14:11…..For it is written, “AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD.”
BLESSED?
