Why the name I AM?

Exodus 3:14
"And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.' And He said, 'Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you'".

Moses wants to be prepared if the Israelites confront him about where he gets the authority to tell them what to do. Moses asked God: who shall I say sent me? God replies to Moses saying:
I Am: That I Am ..
Which is God’s covenant name.
Reminding us, that he is a fill in the blank kind of God. He will be whatever we need him to be in different seasons of our lives.
He is “ I AM
God is the I AM because he can’t be defined:

HE’S THE:
ALPHA AND OMEGA:
“THE FIRST AND LAST”

“THE BEGINNING AND THE END”

JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH:
"THE LORD IS THERE"

JEHOVAH JIRAH:
“OUR PROVIDER”

JEHOVAH-SHALOM:
"THE LORD IS PEACE"

JEHOVAH NISSI:
“THE LORD OUR BANNER”

JEHOVAH-SABAOTH:
“THE LORD OF HOST”

I personally use to be afraid to walk in my authority. Now I know I AM sent me, so I walk with full confidence. Chin up, chest out. not looking back or down.
