*I Am With You*
Fear not, [there is nothing to fear], FOR I AM WITH YOU; do not look around in terror and be dismayed, for I AM YOUR GOD. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties. Yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice (Isaiah 41:10, Amp.).
Who is this “I AM"?
Exodus 3:13–14 gives us the answer to this question. The bible says, “Then Moses said to God, ‘Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, "The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me, "What is His name?' what shall I say to them?” 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.” (Exodus 3:13–14).
So I AM is God. I AM is the one who exists. The one in existence. The one who has no beginning or end. The self–existing one. The everlasting one. The true GOD. "I AM" here is "The ALMIGHTY GOD".
What happens when "I AM" is with you? Let us look at the biblical scriptures to answer this question.

And also keep this in mind that the Lord, "Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"" (Hebrews 13:5–6).
