“Moses said to God, ‘Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, “The God of your fathers has sent me to you,” and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?’ God said to Moses, ‘I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ”
– Exodus 3:13,14
Moses boldly asked the Lord to grant him the privilege of coming in His Name. In response, Yahweh stated His title and gave His servant permission to align His Name with the power of His office. When identifying Himself, God alone was the One who fulfilled everything in every way—the only I AM. He was the beginning and the end; the true author and owner of everything created. With Him on Moses’ side, no other permission would ever be necessary! My friend, whatever your Savior has asked you to do, you can conquer it in His Name! No challenge that stands before you is greater than the great I AM, and with Him on your journey, your outcome is certain. He is your source; you can meet any fear head-on in the authority of Jesus Christ, the one true God. You must simply keep moving forward, boldly and confidently claiming the Name that is above every Name! |
Prayer
Jesus, thank You for giving me the authority to pull down mountains in Your Name.
