The Names of God

I AM
Exodus 3:13-15

(1.) I AM SPEAKS AND SAYS HE IS GOD
-Jesus Christ is God – Ex 3:14 & John 8:58

-the 7 I Am statements in the gospel of John portray Jesus Christ is God

-Jesus Christ is a NOW God

(2.) I AM speaks and says “I AM WHO I AM” – Exodus 3:1-6, 13-14
-This speaks of the I AM being what He will be

-We need to make sure our thinking and ideas and speaking about who the I AM is goes completely along with the Word of God and not what we think…

-He is only who the Bible says He is

-He is sovereign – Psalm 115:3 & 135:6

(3.) I AM SPEAKS AND SAYS HE IS A CONSUMING FIRE AND WE NEED TO GET ON FIRE AND STAY ON FIRE FOR HIM – Hebrews 12:29 & Ex 3:1-4

a. being on fire for the Lord is a choice every believer has to make
Exodus 3:3 – I will now turn aside – means to run off – your own path

-we respond and then the Lord responds
-SPIRITUALLY HUNGRY PEOPLE WANT THE FIRE OF GOD-

-the Lord will pass us by – Mark 6:45-50 (v48)

-do not pass us by Lord

-the bush that was on fire was a common bush revealing that the fire of God is for everyone…….

REMEMBER 2 THINGS:
1. THE LORD LIGHTS US ON FIRE THE DAY WE ARE SAVED – Lev 9:22-24
-every believer has some fire in them that happens from the lord at salvation

2. THE BELIEVER IS THE KEEPER OF THE FIRE – Leviticus 6:12-13
-the believer keeps the fire burning and makes it brighter

-you do not try…you do it…

-do not disrupt your connection with God
