Chapter 26: I AM Day 6

Promises Associated with His Name:

    Of all the promises of Jesus in the Bible none is greater than this: I am the resurrection and the life, anyone who believes in me will live, even though they die, and whoever lives by believing in me, will never die, 

John 11:25 - Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

    If Jesus had not made this promise, every other promise would be a short term warranty set to expire on our death. His own resurrection validates His plans and promises,  

    Biblical scholar and theologian Eldon Ladd once remarked about John's account of the resurrection, that it seems to be the evangelist's pension to suggest, that Peter saw the grave clothes lying like a chrysalis out of which the risen body of the Lord had emerged, that is a picture we can claim for ourselves, that death for us will be like the butterflies chrysalis this life nearly a shape we shed when we enter into the life that will never end. 

    By living and dying to save us, Jesus Himself becomes the promise we live by He is the truth we stand on, the bread that nourishes us the shepherd who leads us the vine that makes us fruitful, He is the resurrection for which we hope, and the gateway for life eternal. He is all of these things and more the Almighty, Everlasting God, the one who is the great I AM, 

Promises in Scripture:

John 11:21-26 -  Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

Continued Prayer and Praise:

Remember that Jesus will Never Leave Us:

Matthew 28:20 - teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [a]Amen.

Know that Jesus is God: 

Matthew 16:15-16 - He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Mark 14:61-62 -  But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” 62 Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

Realize that Jesus is the beginning and the end:

Revelation 1:8 - “I am the Alpha and the Omega, [a]the Beginning and the End,” says the [b]Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Revelation 1:17 -  And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying [a]to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

Revelations 21:6 - And He said to me, “It[a] is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

Sunday July 13, 2025 - King of Kings

 Chapter 7: King of Kings Day 1 The Name:     The world has never seen a King like Christ, a ruler mightier than any earthly sovereign and more powerful than the unseen power of the universe. Though He entered the world humbly as an infant born in Bethlehem, the magi from the east still recognized Him as the new born King. Though His reign unfolds in hidden ways He has promised to come again at which time He will reveal Himself as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.      When you pray to Jesus the King of Kings call to mind His mastery not only over human beings but over nature, desease, and death itself.  Revelation 19:16 -    And   He has on   His   robe and on His thigh a name written:  KING OF KINGS AND  LORD OF LORDS. Father,      Thank You for being our King of Kings. I pray that soon You will come back to earth in Your true life as our King. We are so ready for You to rule this earth and for those o...

Chapter 15: Lord Day 4  Praying the Name:  Philippians 2:5-11 -    Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,  6  who, being in the form of God, did not consider it  [ a ] robbery to be equal with God,  7  but  [ b ] made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant,  and  coming in the likeness of men.  8  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to  the point of  death, even the death of the cross.  9  Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,  10  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,  11  and  that  every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ  is  Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Father,     I praise You for the V...

Monday June 9, 2025 - Light of the World!!

 Chapter 2: Light of the World Day 2 The Name Revealed!! John 1:3-9 -  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.    In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.  And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it.  There was a man sent from God, whose name  was  John.  This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.  He was not that Light but  was sent  to bear witness of that Light.  That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. John 8:12 -  Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying,  “I am the light of the world. He who   follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” Understanding the name:  The Hebrew scriptures are full of images that link God with light. Pillars of fire, burning lamps, consumi...
