When you say, "I AM," the natural question is, "I AM what?" It has to be qualified, and when you qualify it, you limit it. If you say, "I AM a man," that means you are not a woman. "I AM an American" means you are not a Frenchman or a Spaniard. When you complete the I AM, you limit the expression in one way or another. But God is unlimited, I AM That I AM, unexpressed, creative power, Divine Mind waiting for expression. God has to be expressed, and Man is God in expression. I AM That I AM becomes I AM. Therefore Moses is told, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." Man is one with God, the self-livingness of God, and thus he has the power to attach the I AM to all the attributes of God: freedom, joy, health, success, abundance. Always I AM connects you with Divine Power because you are the I AM of the I AM That I AM. I AM is the Word of Power. It is the presence of God in you. It insures that you can go direct to God, that you do not need any intermediary.
