BEING first -- DOING second …   Part 2 of 3.  (Suggest reading Part 1 again)

I AM …. is what God IS (not including here what He has done, or will do) above all else…. He, Christ is LOVE, He is LIGHT, He is LIFE, He is LORD, He is GOOD, He is RIGHTEOUS, He is etc. etc. These are characteristics of His nature not a resume of His achievements or abilities. BEING is stage 1 which is essential before going on to stage 2.

… I AM …...THAT I AM …  which one … which I AM in particular?  The things that I do, shall you do also. To do the things that Jesus did we shall need to have the same resources of BEING in HIm as a reality! Then expressing His mind (DOING).

In Jehovah’s name there are many powerful inbuilt attributes … thus He is able to reach all men. So when we have come to know the I AM, we can then claim the appropriate I AM THAT I AM to meet each pressing need. Being I and my Father are One, when sickness is before us, we can claim that (No.1) - I AM the Lord that heals you. (see below)… then speak it forth by faith (believing) to see the need met and the Kingdom a bit more established. The things that I do, shall you do also.

JEHOVAH = I AM THAT I AM ……which one or which provision?  God has specifically revealed Himself in the scriptures. For example … JEHOVAH RAPHA ...I am the LORD that healeth thee ( …..)! Lets call that one “Number One”. JEHOVAH JIREH ...I am your provider( ….). Lets call that one ‘Number Two’.  JEHOVAH ZIDKENU...I am your righteousness.’’ and so on many, many expressions of Jehovah.

I AM is relationship … I AM is friendship … comes to be reality to each of us when we are hungry enough! Seen by that which we feed upon!!! Such a dealing comes out of a fire (burning bush) we observe in us: All junk inputs via what we watch and what we read must become ashes. There are no short-cuts to bringing in the Kingdom of God. JEHOVAH ZIDKENU...I am your righteousness. He that cometh to God must believe that HE IS -24/7. When faith is on the move, Father-God reveals Himself ... He says I AM, can we then testify that HE IS.  As HE IS so are we in this world.  As previously, how well do you know the Christ -- I AM?
