You hear this phrase used a lot in our world. Many New Age religions chant this phrase. This is a title that only God can exclusively claim...
Jesus said.. I AM The Root and Offspring of David,I AM The Judge of the Gentiles,I AM The One Who has inherited the heathen, I AM God's Elect, I AM The Governor among the Nations, I AM The Strength, I AM The Fortress, I AM The Refuge, I AM The Mountain of the House of the Lord, I AM The Right Hand of God's Righteousness, I AM THE GREAT I AM!

Fire Fall Down-Hillsong United
You bought my life with the
Blood that You shed on the cross
When You died for the sins of men
And You let out a cry
Crucified now alive in e
These hands are Yours
Teach them to serve as You please
And I'll reach out desperate to see
All the greatness of God
May my soul rest assured in You
I'll never be the same
No I'll never be the same
Cause I know that You're alive
You came to fix my broken life
And I'll sing to glorify
Your Holy Name
Jesus Christ
You changed it all
You broke down the wall
When I spoke and confessed
In You I'm blessed
Now I walk in the light
In victorious sight of You
Your fire fall down
Fall down
On us we pray
As we seek
Show me Your heart
Show me Your way
Show me Your glory

We Must Give Our Best To God
As we worship God, we give Him ourselves. Romans 12:1 says, "I beseech you therefore, brethern, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God which is your reasonable service." Under the Old Testament some of the Jews were not offering their best and were condemned for it. In Malachi 1:8 we read, "And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil?" Is it not just as evil today when we do not give God our best?
Under the New Testament we do not offer animal sacrifices as the Jews did under the Old Testament; but we give Him our lives in service to Him as a living sacrifice. In doing this we must give Him our all. Anything we do for God must be our very best. Jesus tells us in Matthew 22:37, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind." All our heart, soul, and mind, or in other words, our total being must be in our worship.
How do we show our love to God? Our Lord says in John 14:21, "He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me." We show our love to God when we keep His commandments. We do not show our love to God if we only keep the commandments we want to keep or if we add some of our own commandments.
In Matthew 28:18, before Christ ascended into heaven, He was giving His apostles some last minute instructions concerning those they would baptize. Jesus said, "Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you." Everything the Lord has commanded us is to be observed. We are to do all that God says and in the way He says to do it. Jesus says in Luke 6:46, "But why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
In worship we must do all God has commanded and we must not do anything He has not authorized. Our worship must be from the heart with all reverence and sincerity. We must give Him our very best. Then and only then will we be worshipping God "in spirit and in truth". The purpose and holiness of true worship to God is a precious privilege available only to those who are obedient to the will of God.

Abortion Ultrasound Causes Local Planned Parenthood Director to Quit
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and the ultrasound images of a baby being aborted spoke a silent “change of heart” to a former Planned Parenthood director in southeast Texas.
The 29-year-old woman, Abby Johnson, used to escort women into the Bryan, Texas, clinic during her eight years as a volunteer for and employee of Planned Parenthood. Johnson told FoxNews.com, “When I was working at Planned Parenthood I was extremely pro-choice.”
All that changed when she watched an ultrasound of an abortion that took place in October. Johnson said she saw the fetus “crumple” during the vacuum procedure and that was the fateful moment, “I would say there was a definite conversion in my heart … a spiritual conversion.” Johnson quit her job and joined a pro-life group that prays outside the clinic.
