I began to think on a verse during corporate worship yesterday:
John 18:3-6 Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, “Whom do you seek?” They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He said to them, “I am He.” So when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

The Lord gave me a prayer, which I wrote down, and want to share with you in regards to these verses. I hope it brings you hope and encouragement, as it did for me.

Oh, Father, let us cry out to you, let us proclaim who you are and search for you as the soldiers and disciples did. No matter what reason we seek Him. Whether we seek Him to blame Him, or judge Him, or follow Him, or betray Him. Let us all, for whatever reason, search and cry out “Jesus of Nazareth!” and let Him turn and respond, “I AM” and let the GLORY of that realization FALL on us. Let us have no power or resolve or fear or doubt or rationality or knowledge that would allow us to stand and process that realization. But let us have no strength to stand in the reality of who you are, in all your majesty. Let us fall, and rest, in your GLORY, that truth and peace and strength may engulf us and the I AM that is I AM will the the realest thing we have ever known.
