In year 1996 I was given this stanza as a Birthday Wish while kneeling and praying on Gasing Ridge, Petaling Jaya
I need the Presence of His Son;
From world and sin and self to turn.
To live by faith through God’s great grace;
And walk with Him in grateful praise.
Last week while on my way home these words came to me
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Especially the phrase “I am with you always”
I have always needed the Presence of Jesus all my life. And these words came again with Power
“I AM with you always”
As I pondered deeper my heart started to burn with these words – “I AM” with you
The GREAT “I AM THAT I AM” is with me!!
Exodus 3:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am ( הְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶהאֶ, ’ehyeh ’ăšer ’ehyeh) : and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
John 8:58 King James Version (KJV)
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
I AM (refers to Jesus) existed even before Abraham was born.
And Jesus mentions himself as the GREAT “I AM” seven times in the Gospel & and in Revelation
I AM the way the truth and the life {John 14:6) (Jesus shows me the correct way to go)
I AM the good shepherd (Jesus shepherd watches over me)
I AM the door (Jesus opens doors that no man can close)
I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35)
I AM the light of the world (Jesus gives me light in a world surrounded by darkness)
I AM the resurrection and the Life (Jesus gives New Life abundantly)
I AM the Vine (John 15) (By Jesus we can bear fruit)
Revelation 1:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 I AM he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I AM alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death
WAHAHA!
“I AM” WITH YOU ALWAYS!!
I SERVE A RISEN SAVIOUR WHO IS FOREVER WITH ME AS HE PROMISED
“”and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.””
AMEN AND AMEN!!
