WHO ARE YOU?

Here are some verses that tell of my position in Christ:

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." Ephesians 1:3

"…we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ." 1 John 5:20

"In Whom [Christ] we have redemption through His blood…." Ephesians 1:7

"To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the beloved [Christ]." Ephesians 1:6

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works…." Ephesians 2:10

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…." Romans 8:1

Ultimately, we shall all discover that our TRUE IDENTITY is CHRIST and although we may have been brought up as Davis, Bryant, Stewart, Clifton, Murray, Jones, Brown or Smith,etc. our real name--our identity and our potentiality--is CHRIST, the spiritual offspring of God. In the moment that this truth is revealed to us, all that has been imposed upon us by human belief, will drop away, and as soon as we begin to perceive our true nature and identity, it will not take long to become accustomed to the ATMOSPHERE OF SPIRIT...which is our Original Abiding Place.

When Jesus said I am he proved his identity. As a matter of fact, when he declared this, it was impossible for those you heard to stand.

(John 18:3-6)  Then Judas, having received a band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.  Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek? They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I AM! And Judas who betrayed Him also stood with them. Then as soon as He had said to them, I AM, they went backward and fell to the ground.

The first 11 chapters of John  define the Lord’s ministry through John’s selective use of 7 miracles, 7 “I AM” declarations, and 7 discourses. 

Now let’s look at the seven “I am” statements:

I AM

1. The Bread Of Life

2. The Light Of The World

3. The Gate

4. The Good Shepherd

5. The Resurrection And The Life

6. The Way, The Truth, And The Life

7. The Vine

confused...it is really not who I AM. I AM  is the knowing not the condition 

that is known. Let us be strengthened. I AM!!
