"i AM"... The Original Blueprint

Maturing is a necessary aspect of the human experience. All beginners need the fundamentals to get started. Principles and Standards are fundamentals that help give direction toward a destination. Biblical scriptures serve as principles and standards providing direction in the way we should go. Scripture points to a person and is eventually converted to a voice. That voice begins to supersede principle and standard to improve clarity with precise instructions.

When we think about sin, we oftentimes limit sin to the result of sin. Things such as lying, stealing, drunkenness, sexual immorality, dissensions, hatred, greed, adultery, selfishness and so forth. While all these things are associated with sin, they are not the root of sin. Liken to that of a rose, the rose grows and eventually produces petals. The petals do not make the rose a rose. The seed which is the nature of the rose produces a root system strong enough to eventually produce petals. This is the same process of sin. The very nature of sin has a root system, and today, we will discover exactly what is that root system.

All sin is tied to a form of unbelief. Today, we will evaluate the destructive force of jealousy. Jealousy is an influence from darkness that is designed to keep you from experiencing the kingdom of God. It is a bitterness that grows dangerously with intent to destroy. Jealousy has a potency that will work through generations if left unchecked. The great news is that there is victory over this damaging force. Overcoming jealousy requires faith and honesty.

I AM…Prophet, Priest and King came to me as a prophetic inspiration and instruction spoken into my life. It was given to me as a declaration and reminder of who I am in Christ. As believers, we inherit a new identity but it takes time for us to grow into that identity. Liken to that when a baby is born, they have your identity, but sometimes the physical features have may have no resemblance. But over time, the baby begins to grow starting to develop certain features that resemble the parent. Likewise, our lives will soon begin to look like Jesus. Transformation is a process that occurs while renewing the mind. As your mind is renewed, you begin to function in your new identity through faith and the knowledge obtained through meditation and experience. Today, we will get more understanding of who we are and learn our position in the earth.

Societal thought patterns have reduced a life with God as a choice of tradition. This perspective has been shaped and emerged from doctrines created by man. These doctrines are more aligned with man's tradition rather than the illuminating power of God's word. Religion and church are terms that have become walls blocking people of a life with God. God cares more about life than the outward appearance of doing Church. Let's check out an example where Jesus addressed this very thing…

Your road to Damascus represents, your turning point. It is when you have an encounter with life that arrests you, causes you to pause and consider your way. During this encounter, a sense of urgency comes upon you that demands your attention. It is in this moment, you are able to hear the voice of God more clearly without any distractions. If this has ever happened to you or maybe it's happening right now, this is Jesus extending his hand. Let's look at this further to better understand what happens on the Road to Damascus.

Freewill is the most powerful attribute given to mankind by God. It represents the human ability to choose and act according to your own individual faculties. God reserved it to be so precious that even He himself will not violate the power of its authority. Freewill can be very dangerous, as it is powerful. Have you ever wondered why would God let this or that happen? In today's study, we will try to bring clarity to this question.

Familiarity through human reasoning can blind us to the works of God. It causes us to focus on the proximity of person, rather than God's power. Familiarity can cause pride that creates hardness of heart, leading us to a place of unbelief. Unbelief will hold you captive from faith, keeping you away from God's best for your life. Today, we will examine a few examples on this in the bible.

Identity is essential to living life on earth. It is where one finds their sense of purpose, significance, value, security and fulfillment. Without identity, a life is easily robbed and manipulated of its original purpose. God's word is a pathway to revelation. Through meditation of His word, you discover truth in who you are and why you were created. When identity is not known, you are susceptible to take on whatever is presented to you. Today, we will look at an example of how identity was established, and how it was taken away.

Personal bias and opinions are formed as a result of the human personality. We all have them. They are developed through our experiences, relationships, and values creating the framework for how we think. Personal bias and opinions are subject to change with growth and maturity. How we think today can change how we think tomorrow through new experiences, new relationships that shape new values in our lives. Today, we will look at how personal bias and opinions can be fences, blocking our ability to receive from God.

Launch out into the deep came to me as a revelation of divine instructions. It is where impossibilities are made possible, and faith is made whole through obedience. Launching out into the deep, sometimes, requires you to exchange conventional wisdom for what God said. Listen in on today's podcast as we go deeper with divine instructions.

Competition and Comparison are pumped all throughout our society; business, sports, relationships, media, community and sometimes even within the home. These are two of the most destructive forces the enemy uses to create an inferiority complex. Once an inferiority complex is developed, satan gains access to your mind to influence the way you think. He desires to control your decisions in life. Competition and Comparison are catalytic toward the process to steal, kill, and destroy, sequentially, in that order. They were never meant to be a measurement to your progress or purpose. What God has given you is unique!

The birthing of “I AM” came as a revelation of God's sovereignty in my life. It was preparation for a mental shift. The transition into the vision God was giving me, required boldness and the ability to abandon thinking common to man. I AM “the original blueprint” is the pathway to life filled with purpose and symbolizing nothing is impossible with God. In today's podcast, I will share the shaping of how “I AM” begin to take root in my life.

When God calls a person for a specific assignment, He does not assess the things that are common to man. God is not looking at your credentials, past, intelligence, money, appearance or even social status. These things proceed from the world which directly opposes God. Purpose is an essential part of the human experience and without it, life is inevitably abused. In today's podcast, we will look at a few examples of God preparing people for his call on their lives.
