"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. . . . "This is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." I AM, then, is God's name. Every time you say I AM sick, I AM weak, I AM discouraged, are you not speaking God's name in vain, falsely? I AM cannot be sick; I AM cannot be weary, or faint, or powerless; for I AM is All Life, All-Power, All-Good. "I AM," spoken with a downward tendency, is always false, always "in vain." The seventh commandment says, "Take not the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain." And Jesus said, "By thy words thou shall be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." If you speak the "I AM" falsely, you will get the result of false speaking. If you say, "I AM sick," you will get sickness; "I AM poor," you will get poverty; for the law is, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." "I AM," spoken upward, toward the good, the true, is sure to out picture in visible good, in success, in happiness. Does all this sound foolish to you? Do you doubt that such power goes with the speaking of that name? If so, just go alone, close your eyes, and in the depth of your own soul say over and over the words, "I AM." Soon you will find your whole being filled with a sense of power which you never had before — power to overcome, power to accomplish, power to do all things.
