Hi there!

 

Welcome to Barah Ministries…a Christian Church based in Mesa, AZ…my name is Pastor Rory Clark.

 

Songs do a great job of communicating the truth of the Word of God.  Here at Barah Ministries, we are blessed to have one of the best songwriters, best singers, and best music producers, all wrapped up in a single package.  Her name is June Murphy, and her songs are amazing at communicating the truth of the Word of God.

 

For the next several lessons you’ll be listening songs from her second album…the Come See a Man album.  Today’s song is I AM.

 

TODAY’S SONG

I AM

 

God has an enemy.  The enemy has several titles that indicate his function in relation to mankind…Satan…the devil…the accuser of the brethren…the prince of the power of the air…the deceiver…anti-Christ…the serpent of old…the adversary…the ruler of demons…the dragon…the murderer…the evil one…the spirit working in the sons of disobedience…the tempter…the god of this world.  The bible dedicates a lot of ink to describing this one whose greatest deception is to convince believers in Christ that he does not exist.  And if you ask many believers in Christ today, they don’t think Satan exists…yet they have no way to explain the unrest in their souls and the destruction in their relationships caused by the orchestration of this master strategist, with his insidious cunning and his deceptive temptations which overwhelm their souls with misery and suffering.

 

On the other hand, there is God…the Sovereign of the Universe…and He has many titles which describe Him as well.  One such title is in Exodus, Chapter 3, Verses 13 to 15…

 

EXODUS 3:13

Then Moses said to God, “Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?”

 

EXODUS 3:14

God said to Moses, “I AM is WHO I AM” …  and He continued, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

 

EXODUS 3:15

God, furthermore, said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations…I AM!”

Now June Murphy will sing a song for you that she wrote and produced…and in it you will hear many more expressions that describe the One and Only God…the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Here’s June to sing…I AM.

Jesus You’re the Great I AM

And I am all I am

Because of You

Jesus You’re the Great I AM

And I am all I am

Because of what You do

The Sacrificial Lamb

And I am all I am

Because You’re the Great, I AM!

 

Thanks June, for this beautiful and instructive song. 

 

Psalm 95, Verse 1 says…

 

PSALM 95:1

O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord…

Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.

 

In John, Chapter 16, Verse 23, the Great I AM says…

 

JOHN 16:23

“These things I (the Lord Jesus Christ) have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

 

We dedicate the closing moments of our lesson today to anyone watching or to anyone listening who no longer wants to live under the slavery ad the rulership of God’s enemy, Satan…to anyone who does not have a relationship with the One and Only God…the God who loves you unconditionally…the faithful One…the Great I AM…the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Acts, Chapter 2, Verse 21 says…

 

ACTS 2:21

‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

 

Right now, you can call on the name of the Lord by telling God the Father that you believe in His Son, and that’s the moment of eternal life for you.  Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is the best and most important decision you can make in your lifetime.  A simple five-word request gets you to heaven…“Father, I believe in Christ.”  For a thief being crucified next to Jesus, it was a nine word request…Luke, Chapter 23, Verses 42 and 43…

 

LUKE 23:42-43

And the repentant thief was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”//And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

 

Let today be the day you stop putting off the best decision of your life. You won’t ever regret believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and counting on Him to accomplish your salvation.  Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ…and you will be saved…then, get to know Him!  Grow, within the sphere of His grace, in the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  John, Chapter 3, Verses 17 and 18 say…

 

JOHN 3:17

For God the Father did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

 

JOHN 3:18

He who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is not judged…but he who does not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ has been judged already, because he has not believed in the Person of the uniquely born Son of God the Father.

 

Don’t let yourself be judged!  Believe in the Great I AM and be saved!
