I AM or AM I<\/p>\n

A good friend of mine, Al Watson, and I were working on my old Volkswagen bug a number of years ago. There was a drive-shaft nut that takes 250 foot pounds of torque. It wouldn\u2019t come loose, so we took a 5 foot breaker bar and a socket and tried to break it loose. Al was pushing on the bar as hard as he could but, no use. So I said in a moderate to loud voice, \u201cThank you Jesus\u201d, Of course Al was not a Christian yet, so all that caught him by surprise. The nut popped loose, the bar went flying, Al lunged forward. He turned, looked at me and said, \u201cWhat did you say\u201d? I said, \u2018Thank you Jesus\u201d. You see, Al, (I AM) at that time weighed between 270 and 300 pounds and thought he could do anything, just like we all do until revelation comes. When I thanked Jesus, the real I AM showed up. Nothing to it. Al was shocked, Jesus and I laughed, Al got born again a few weeks later and became AM I (Al). What God got out of this, was a new son, I got a glorious brother and Al got Jesus the Great \u201cI AM\u201d.<\/p>\n

When God told Moses to go into Egypt to bring His people out, they were ignorant of God, Pharaoh was too. God said, If they ask you who sent you tell them, \u201cI AM sent you\u201d. The only way we have any credibility is for I AM to send us.<\/p>\n

My wife and I watched one one of our favorite movies the other night, \u201cThe Shepherd of the Hills\u201d with John Wayne. Granny Becky was born blind and lived in a milky white haze all of her life. The Shepard (Harry Carey) paid to have her cataracts removed. They had an unveiling gathering, to take the bandages off. As she picked up a hand full of dirt she said, \u201cI bear witness of the color of God\u2019s good earth\u201d. I know it’s just a movie, but this is how revelation is. She saw partially, but when the complete and perfect came, she saw completely perfect. The thing that was many times more than anything she had seen or ever thought she would. She saw the work of the Great I AM. We become a greater witness every time we experience a new revelation from God.<\/p>\n

Balaam, in the old testament, didn\u2019t see the angel of God with his sword drawn, but his ass (donkey) did. His ass was trying to save his life. His ass saw I AM before Balaam did. When his ass spoke to him, now that was a great revelation and then he saw the big sword. What a revelation! Then Balaam made this statement, \u201c I saw the vision of the almighty, falling into a trance with my eyes wide open. Sometimes we think that a vision comes only in our prayer time. It certainly can, but it can and does happen with our eyes wide open. It can happen at home, work, play and every aspect of our daily lives.<\/p>\n

In a court of law, the judge will ask the witness, \u201cWhat did you see\u201d? If you just read about it, or heard about it, you are not a valid witness. A witness is someone that has experienced seeing something. I hear all the time, you have to go out into the world and witness for the Lord. What have you seen? You have to experience a thing to be a valid witness of it. Seeing God heal a sick person is being a witness of that fact. When God reveals something through revelation, we are also a witness. A thing can have a certain property in the natural, whether it is thought or physical properties. When revelation about this comes, we see it as He does and it illuminates. I call this illuminate revelation because it gets bigger than life. Revelation or God revealing a thing or a matter to us, lets us see from His viewpoint. Wisdom comes more and more every time He reveals more to us. We become a greater witness the more we see.<\/p>\n

When Samuel, in the old testament, as a child heard God calling to him, he said this, \u201chere AM I\u201d. Our world is full of I AM here. I can do this, I can do that, I don\u2019t need any help, I AM the strongest, etc. Television is full of superhero preaching, causing people to think, I AM the greatest. There was a popular boxer that described himself that way years ago. When I was young, my mother said, \u201cPride goes before a fall\u201d, I found out personally that she was right. She must have gotten that somewhere other than from this world. Saying, \u201cI am,\u201d is not wrong in itself if it includes God first, like, \u201cI can do all things through Christ who strengthens me\u201d. I AM, without honoring God as first, is destructive. It\u2019s pride in one’s own strength and abilities that blinds us to the larger picture. There are many things that God wants us to see in this life. Our small picture is certainly not all there is.<\/p>\n

My brother Charlie wrote down this revelation of a song on his way home from work one day. By the way, it was not in his quiet time at home. This revelation came with his eyes wide open. If driving, they had better be open. God spoke these words to Charley.<\/p>\n

Listen, can you hear it in the wind.
I say, listen can you hear it in the wind.
I hear sorrow, I hear pain and misery.
Listen, can you hear it in the wind.<\/p>\n

Listen, can you hear it in the wind.
I say, listen, can you hear it in the wind.
It’s the heart cry of your brothers, your sisters or a friend.
Listen, can you hear it in the wind.<\/p>\n

Listen, can you hear it in the wind.
I say, listen, can you hear it in the wind.
I hear Jesus , He\u2019s your Father, He\u2019s your friend
Saying, take me to your brother, sister or a friend.
It’s the heart cry of Jesus, to bring life to every man.
Saying, take me to your brother, sisters or a friend.
For it\u2019s the heart cry of Jesus to bring life to every man.
Saying take me to your brothers, sisters or a friend.
Listen, can you hear it in the wind.<\/p>\n


This revelation came from I AM. My brother Charlie was in an AM I, listening mode and heard the the heart cry of Jesus for his people. In order to hear and see an illuminate revelation like this, we must realize our inabilities and His greatness, our weakness and His strength.<\/p>\n

Samuel said,\u201d Here AM I.\u201d He became a witness, as we do, to our Father, designer and creator. Revelation is not just for a few, we are all His handy work. From this day forward let’s all use this term, Here AM I and listen to, I AM He.<\/p>\n
