In 1996, the Lord revealed himself to me in a mighty way and I was changed forever. I guess you could say that I found my one TRUE love, Jesus! I love Jesus with everything that is in me. As a baby in faith, I wanted to do everything that God wanted me to. I began my journey by immersing myself in the word of God. For a baby believer, the Bible can become extremely overwhelming. I allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me in my studies and it was an awesome journey. I vividly remember finding scriptures that transformed my life - and revealed to me the authority that we are given through Jesus. I would hold on to these nuggets and they would give me strength and comfort. My desire was to write them on the tablets of my heart. I wanted to remember them to encourage others to hold on to the wonderful gifts of life and victory that are available to all in the word of God.
I wanted everyone to know that Victory is theirs for the taking in God’s word, and it applies to every area of their life. I was trying to think of a way to convey this message to my friends and family. I considered putting the scriptures on necklaces and other jewelry - but then you would have to decide which scripture you needed to wear each day!
Then the Lord gave me this thought: “Jackie, you are struggling with how to tell your friends and family the truth that is in the word of God, but all you really need to tell them is “I AM WHO I AM” as in Exodus 3:14, When Moses asked the Lord, “who shall I say sent me?” and God said “I AM WHO I AM”. It was decided. This revelation was life changing for me. The Lord continued to give me the image and the idea to create the “I AM” bracelet. The Lord reminded me of Psalm 46:10, which is a scripture that has brought me great peace in difficult situations. Here the Lord says, “Be still and know that I AM God”. Jesus is everything to all believers and the simple message “I AM” would be the perfect way to remind believers that HE IS! That Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is always with you and he will never leave you. He is the lover of your soul! The scriptures reveal Jesus as: I AM your healer. I AM your provider. I AM your comforter. I AM WHO I AM.
Purpose
I pray this bracelet will bless you as it has blessed me. I have found that it is a great witnessing tool. As I have been wearing the bracelet, the Lord has brought it to the attention of different non-believers and I have been able to witness to them about my Jesus and what he means to me and how he wants to be the same for them. Non-believers may not ask you about a cross or if you are wearing something that is evidently a Christian item. Without scaring them off, this bracelet catches their attention and they can’t help but ask “What does it mean?"
