The "I am"

Aug 2, 2026    Francois Van Zyl

What if two of the most profound words we speak every day have been quietly shaping our lives without us even realizing it? This message takes us on a journey through Scripture, beginning in Exodus 3:13-14 where God reveals His name to Moses as 'I AM WHO I AM,' and then into the Gospel of John where Jesus echoes that same declaration repeatedly. The connection between these two moments, separated by centuries and written by different hands, is no coincidence. It points to something eternal and deeply personal. Because we are made in the image of God, every time we say 'I am,' we are invoking the same language God used to describe Himself. That means the words we attach to 'I am' carry far more weight than we typically give them credit for. When we say 'I am tired' or 'I am a failure,' we are not just describing a feeling, we are making a declaration over our lives. This message challenges us to become more conscious of what we are proclaiming, and to align our words with the truth of who God says we are, because He is the I AM, and we exist because of Him.
