God did not have to do anything for us, but He Did!
God did not have to do anything for us, but He Did!
This statement alone gives me joy because I now know that God has looked beyond my condemnation and has provided me with His Grace!
Truth be told, I did deserve what God kept me from!
But because God cannot stand unrighteousness, He extends His Power to deliver those who are under attack!
There are two types of people in the earth: Spiritual & Natural -
Natural minded = are those whose emotions move them because of what the circumstances seem to look like!
Pharoah looked at the Nation and assumed they would join forces with other nations and over take them!
So his carnal mind moved him to oppress the people greatly - Because he did not know Joseph and his legacy left his people with favor in the eyes of the king!
Obviously, the king did not know God, for he mandated such a terrible act against a people who had no intentions of exacting any harm to them!
The Bible talks about presumptuous spirits -"To presume" ("to take or go beforehand") is to speak or act without warrant or proudly.
The king had no evidence of any intent that the people desired to do what he presume they would do, but because Proverbs 16:2-3 (NKJV) 2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits. 3 Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.
He did not commit his ways to The LORD our God, he thought wickedly against the people!
But that is OK, you do not have to worry about the tactics or presumptions of the enemy, Just Be Thankful God Is The GREAT I AM!
I AM WHO I AM - God has announced, with this statement, there is none like Me, nor will there ever be any like Me - Alpha and Omega - I started this and I will finish - The Author and Finisher!
The Burning Bush:
What God manifested in the burning bush was not just Himself, but how He can take something that seems miniscule to the natural eye, something that fire would be able to consume instantly, but when His Presence has surrounded the small thing, what was intended to consume it, no longer has any power against it!
The burning bush represents you, the Fire is God’s Power surrounding you and keeping you from all hurt, harm and danger!
Because God is in you, nothing can consume you!
Consumed - To come to an end, to stop existing, to be extinguished, to shrink up!
We know what this word reference, but the bush stood against the fire; what natural eyes would see as a unfair fight! Bush v Fire - No competition right!
As Moses saw this miracle performed, he turned:
Many miss the turning because we are so heart set on the end of a thing, we cannot see God working and providing us wisdom in the midst of what we are enduring!
Remember, Moses is on the back side of the mountain, 40 years, tending the sheep and God shows up right where he was!
Moses, apparently hiding from eminent death, but God found him right where he was!
Not only that, God called him by his name!
Then God saw that he turned!
It is imperative that we place our focus on God and not the circumstances of life!
I keep saying this all the time, that means God is saying to you, this is an important precept, always keep your mind on Him!
God told him not to draw near this place, why? Because now that you have turn to Me, you cannot approach me with the same walk you had previously - I AM is about to change your walk!
The reasons you need to be thankful for The GREAT I AM:
I AM allows you to input whatever you need after I AM - Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV) 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Wonderful - I AM Wonderful, for God made me and He knows my name for He has predestined me for this!
Counselor - I AM Counseled, for God has revealed His Mysteries in His Only Begotten Son and because I eat of His Body, I have power to carry on with strength!
Mighty God - I AM Mighty, for God has increased me, His Power has sustain me, even in the midst of perils, God has shown me that He is Mighty and I AM is all I need!
Everlasting Father - I AM is my Daddy, Who cares for me and comforts me, He provides for me, as He own all the cattle on a thousand hills, He is Our Provisional God!
Prince of Peace - I AM Peace, He is our Peace, Whom have given us access to The Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed Is His Holy Name!
The Bible says that Joseph was already in Egypt, and his family joined him there, God did not add but multiplied them in foreign land!
And because of the favor that God bestowed upon them, the new king felt threaten and oppressed them with rigorous work!
But God heard the cries of His People, He attended to their plea, He came down to deliver them out of the hand of the enemy and bring them into more favor, land that was not their own, but when God goes before you, He will make it yours and there will be no record of what was!
Because when I AM sets His weight on the circumstance, any and everything that was against you, now must release it’s hold on you!
Do not be dismayed, as God was with Moses, He is also with you! Just be thankful for God Is The GREAT I AM!
I AM has come to bring you life, not death; I AM has given you the authority to interject whatever you need, so as the Bible declares in Revelation 1:17-18 (NKJV) 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
When you feel as if you are in a dead circumstance, just look up to The Heavens and declare; I AM Alive because Jesus is ALIVE and He Lives In Me!
When the enemy wants you to feel as if you are the last, do not get upset, I AM the First and The Last, I AM forevermore, so I AM not perishing but living ever lasting unto God who knows my name!
