In this message from House of Prayer 24-7, Brother Deshone openly examines a commandment he says has not always been easy for him to understand. Beginning with “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain,” he goes back to Exodus 3, where Moses asks God what name he should give the children of Israel—and God answers, “I AM THAT I AM.”

From there, Brother Deshone explores a question with deeply practical implications: What are God's children continually putting after the words “I am”?

The message challenges believers to examine their speech, identity, and the words they use about themselves—and to consider whether those words reflect the character of the God whose image they bear.
