Assignment begins below. Please take the course of your week to complete. If it takes you longer, that is okay. Be patient with yourself as you thoughtfully think through it all.
Goal
“I AM” Statements.
A quick Bible Story recap: when God told Moses to go tell Pharaoh to “let My people go” Moses was so warped in imposter syndrome that he just couldn’t fathom being the one to do this. After a series of questions to God about how to do this, he finally asks the most pertinent question: “Who should I say sent me?” And God gives Moses the answer:
“Tell him I AM sent you.”
God identifies Himself as I AM THAT I AM. He is infinite. Not I was. Not I will be. He is ever present in every moment. Sam, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TIGHT NOW?! Yes, I know. I’m getting to the point.
We talk a lot about what you say out of your mouth being powerful and true. Let’s kick it up a notch! Anything you say about yourself (I am) invokes the very power of God. In essence, it’s a prayer because you’ve called Him by name. You have to be extremely careful of what you say! We are made in His image and we call Him by name (I am) and then we say something NEGATIVE?! Oh no…I think not!
Goal: to spend the next 30 days practicing positive I AM statements and watching our lives change!

Identify
Your task is simple. Well, it’s really not simple but it will definitely get simpler as we move!
STOP TALKING NEGATIVELY ABOUT YOURSELF!
Grab you journal, write down 25 I AM statements that are positive and true about yourself. Include some they maybe not true YET…like “I am my family’s first millionaire.”
Here are some examples:
I am beautiful
I am generous
I am a hard worker
I am successful in relationships (you see how specific I have to be?)
I am a millionaire and I use my money to provide for my family as well as help my community
Now get to work!
Affirmation
I AM is my God therefore I am in His image therefore I am everything HE says I am. I rebuke any negative, or contradictory thought.
