Peace unto You, Moses! Most High Ahayah, is sending me to your Page! If you have a King James Bible (Old version)! Please read, Exodus 3:13-15! I Am, need for you to understand the "Power" of "I Am!" Life comes from the Father - I Am! People are committing suicide, basing upon, Creator's disconnection. When connecting with the "Real" author of life, living begins! For instance, "I Am" is in "You!" And "I Am" is in the Father and, All, Creation! When connecting with Yourself and Our Father "I Am," through his "Name," eyes are opening to Life and purpose! If you have doubt, please read Revelation 15:4. We are living in the "Last Days!" Most High Ahayah, is revealing himself to "The Children of Israel" and then to, All, nations of the Earth! If you do not remember anything else, recall "I Am that I Am... Life! Connect with the Father-I Am! You shall gain a "Deeper" of Purpose, and "Live!" Thank you! Try it today! I Am that I Am... Prayer Warrior-Satan Destroyer! This is in the "Presence" of Our Father-I Am, Savior Christ- I Am, and Mother Holy Spirit-I Am The "Holy Angels-I Am" are recording this dialogue! I Am...Truth Shall Reign!
