25 I AM Statements of Jesus

I have a devotional book titled The Book of Mysteries by Jonathan Cahn. I highly recommend it. One of the devotional mysteries has to do with God’s name I AM. I have listed 25 I AM statements of Jesus from the New Testament below.

Jonathan Cahn explained the sacred name of God is YHVH, which means I AM, which I already understood from previous studies. However, what Rabbi Cahn brought to my attention that I did not realize was, we speak God’s great name daily without realizing it!

When we say such statements as; I am hungry, I am going shopping. I am thankful, etc. We declare His name first. Wow, think about it. Our existence, our very being, proclaims His name first! He is rightly put first and we flow from His existence. In Acts 17:28, Paul tells us; “In Him, we live and move and have our being”. (ESV)

We all declare the name of God, the great I AM. He is as close as the mention of His Name. Therefore, be encouraged and praise His holy name!

    I may have overlooked them but John 4 I am the Messiah (to the woman at the well). I am the door(John 10) and I am He when arrested at Gethsemane(John 18) so powerful the soldiers fell down.

      Donna, thank you for visiting and for your comments. You are correct. I did not include the statement to the Samarian woman from 4.26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” NIV or NLT version “I am the Messiah!”. I did have John 10.7 NLT, I AM the gate for the sheep… whereas other versions such as the NKJV use “door”.
      Moreover, I totally overlooked the arrest statement…YIKES! I will be updating the list! God bless and Maranatha
