I Am Because He Is

[Style] Spoken word, cinematic, orchestral underscore, powerful, deep resonant male voice, no singing, dramatic build, epic, reverent intensity, no melody, slow deliberate pacing that builds to thunder [Intro - slow, low, barely above a whisper] Let me tell you about a King. Not a king carved from the ambitions of men. Not a throne built on the bones of conquest. I am talking about a King who existed before the first star found its place in the dark. Before the mountains decided where to stand. Before the oceans learned the edges of the land. I am talking about the King. [Build - voice rising, deliberate] The Bible says He is a seven-way King. He is the King of the Jews. A racial King. He is the King of Israel. A national King. He is the King of Righteousness. He is the King of the Ages. He is the King of Heaven. He is the King of Glory. He is the King of Kings. And He is the Lord of Lords. Seven dimensions of dominion. Seven angles of authority. And not one of them borrowed. Not one of them temporary. Not one of them up for debate. That is my King. [Movement 1 - steady, cinematic weight] No telescope can reach the coastline of His supply. No measurement can contain His love. No barrier has ever succeeded in holding back His blessing. He is enduringly strong. He is entirely sincere. He is eternally steadfast. He is immortally graceful. He is imperially powerful. He is impartially merciful. He is the greatest phenomenon that ever crossed the horizon of this world. He is God's Son. He is a sinner's Savior. He is the centerpiece of civilization. He stands in the solitude of Himself. Unparalleled. Unprecedented. Unmatched. And that is my King. [Movement 2 - identity turn, voice grounded] Now let me tell you who that makes me. Because a King of that magnitude does not claim nobodies. First Peter two nine says I am chosen. Not selected from a group of candidates. Chosen. Before the foundations were laid. Before my name was spoken into the world. He already knew it. I am a royal priesthood. I am a holy nation. I am His own possession. Not because of what I built. Not because of what I earned. Because of who He is. That is my King. And that is who I am. [Movement 3 - full voice, momentum] He supplies strength for the weak. And I have been weak. He delivers the captive. And I have been bound. He forgives the sinner. And I have carried the weight of things I thought could never be lifted. But Romans eight one says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. None. Not some. Not a reduced sentence. None. He is the doorway of deliverance. He is the pathway of peace. He is the highway of holiness. He is the gateway of glory. And because He is all of that, I do not walk the way I used to walk. I do not see what I used to see. Second Corinthians five seventeen says I am a new creation. The old has gone. That is my King. And that is who I am. [Movement 4 - voice drops, then explodes] His office is manifold. His promise is sure. His light is matchless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His Word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. You cannot get Him out of your mind. You cannot outlive Him. You cannot live without Him. Pilate could not fault Him. Herod could not kill Him. Death could not handle Him. The grave could not hold Him. He walked out. On the third day, with all authority in heaven and on earth, He walked out. And Ephesians two six says that because He rose, I am seated with Him. In heavenly places. Right now. In the middle of every battle. In the middle of every doubt. In the middle of every hard season. I am already seated. That is my King. And that is who I am. [Climax - full power, no holding back] I am not defined by my past. Romans eight one. I am not defined by my fear. Second Timothy one seven. I am not defined by what they said about me. I am not defined by what I said about myself in the darkest rooms of my own mind. I am defined by the One who called light out of darkness. The One who spoke and galaxies obeyed. The One who took the cross, the grave, and the weight of every sin ever committed, and buried them in resurrection power. That is my King. More than a conqueror. That is what Romans eight thirty seven calls me. Not almost. Not on a good day. More than a conqueror. Because He first conquered for me. [Outro - slow, low, full weight] Yours is the Kingdom. Yours is the power. Yours is the glory. Forever. And I am Yours. Not because I deserve to be. Because You said so. Because the cross said so. Because the empty tomb said so. That is my King. And that is who I am. Amen.
