DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

Exodus 3:9-14
9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" 12 And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." 13 Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" 14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "

Hmm. I have to be honest. As I rested my spirit on these verses, the lord asked me this question “do you know who I am?”
I said “yes lord”
I have to be honest, at that point nothing came to my spirit. this has been one of those weeks where I've had a hard time resting my spirit to hear from the Lord.... but I am pretty sure I know who my lord is... I said again "yes Lord"
The Lord asked me again… “do you know who I am?
I said…. “yes Lord”
Again… know further response to the Lord.
So… I continued to read:

Exodus 3:9-14
9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" 12 And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." 13 Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" 14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "
So… I read this scripture is preparation for a word that the Lord would reveal...
I thought to myself… I am doing this… in remembrance and in memory...
The lord said to me again… “do you know who I am?

This time, I didn’t answer right away… I though on this.
It clicked in my spirit.
I KNOW who the lord is…
I do all that I can to keep Him directly in front of me…
This is important.
You don’t need to remember… what you HAVE right in front of you.
I’m not talking about a test of recognition…
But I am talking about memory…
The way to test someone is to take away the book… take away their notes… and see what they have in their minds…
In their remembrance…
This do in remembrance of me…
I play this verse over in my mind again… and the Lord said “do you know who I am?”
This time… it’s starting to stick with me…
The Lord is not asking me if I KNOW who HE IS…. “He is asking do I remember who I AM….”
IN RELATION TO HIM…
You may not get this… but sometimes…
I forget… WHO I AM.
When life gets complicated…
When times get hard…
I forget that I am a child of the king…
I am son and not a servant…
I forget that I have a God who loves me and keeps me in the palm of his hand…
Oh when I take communion on first Sundays… I am following an established church ordinance,
But then it clicked…
This is a test.
The Lord says… “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM”
This is like when you’re son or daughter talks to you crazy… you know what I’m taking about… and you look at them and say: “do you know who I am” … “don’t forget who you’re talking to”….
This is it… as children grow up, they begin to flex their muscles… and start to think that they are grown…
Children start to believe in their minds that they are equal to the parents… they believe they have enough experience and life knowledge to make the same choices you do…
They begin to have in their minds that they don’t even really need your advice and wisdom…
When this happens… they flex. They test. They try things you know are bad for them… and they forget who they are… and who you are in relation to them…
This happens when us too….
We live a lot of life… we live through trials and drama… and sometimes we even forget that it’s the Lord that gotten us through.
It’s during those times, that the Lord say “do you know who I am”
Do you?
Do you know who you are?
-------
I don’t know if you realize this…
But life is complicated.
We deal with drama all the time…
Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Every day… we face this…
If it’s not finances, it’s transportation.
If it’s not transportation, it’s our relationships.
If it’s not our relationships, it’s our health.
The enemy is doing all that he can to break you and break your spirit…
We deal with so much drama and issues that sometimes it feels like we’re in some kind of WAR.
The bible describes the life struggle that we’re in as spiritual warfare…
War…
Do you get this imagery? Where you feel like you’re FIGHTING TO HANG ON!!!
I know you've heard this story before... but bear with me:

Es 17:10-16
10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses' hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven." 15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner; 16 for he said, "Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."
This starts with Joshua fighting a battle that the Man of God sent him into…

Point one: sometimes the war you are fighting is a war the Lord wants you to fight.
You have to see this, because it’s more important than you may realize…
Because people are so quick to place drama at the feet of Satan… but that’s not true.
Sometimes you’re fighting the Good fight because the Lord doesn’t want you to just have victory…
He wants TOTAL victory!
He doesn’t want you to have life…
He wants you to have LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY!
HE DOESN’T WANT YOU TO BE A CONQUEROR…
HE WANTS YOU TO BE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!!!!
THIS IS WHAT GOD IS TRYING TO OFFER US…
BUT WE MISS IT…
BECAUSE WE FORGET WHO WE ARE… AND WE FORGET WHO WE ARE FIGHTING FOR…
This is because War is ugly… and complicated and sometimes you lose site was where you’re going…
Has anyone been here?
Where you don’t even know which way is up?
Which way you’re going?
You know you’re fighting, but you begin to wonder if you’re in the right battle?...
If you’re fighting the right issue?
Even if you’re in the right army?
That’s what war is all about, it’s so ugly, so brutal, that when you’re right in the middle of the fight.
Its possible to get disoriented.
Well, let’s go back to the story.

Exodus 17:10-16
10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses' hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven." 15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner; 16 for he said, "Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."
The Lord Sent Moses, Aaron, and Hur to the top of a hill…
Point number TWO: God will not send you alone.
This is important because when you’re really in a fight, you feel alone.
You feel like nobody knows… the trouble you see…
I know you do. Because sometimes I do.
But this important, that the lord wont send you into battle alone…
And he won’t even send the Man of God alone.
It is NOT God’s expectation for us to deal with our life issues, alone.
Now I love this story, because.,,
At the top of the Hill Moses held his hands and his staff up in support of the battle…
Now you have to see this…
As much as Moses wanted to hold that Staff up…
He discovered that he could only hold his hands up for so long…
I bet he tried…
I bet he gave all he had…
Ok, who in this room has done all they can to hold their hands up in the face of drama…
In the face of an issue…
Who’s been doing all they can to stand…
Oh I’ve always loved the verse that says:
Eph 6: 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
After you’ve done all you can to stand… Stand therefore…
Wait, do you notice, no one ever really talks about how you’re supposed to stand, after you’ve done all you can to stand?
Well… back to our story… the Lord showed us HOW we’re suppose to stand in the face of our drama AFTER we’re done all we can do (to stand)
You know what I’ve talking about… you’ve done all you can think to do … even the spiritual stuff…
You’ve prayed… you’ve fasted… you’ve done everything you can think of…
And the bible still tells you to stand.
Well here is how you do it.
12 But Moses' hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
He remembered that he was NOT alone. Aaron and Hur… got him a rock to sit on… and then…. Help him hold his hand up.
America has tainted the thinking of the church…
This desperation for independence has us believing that if we can’t do it alone, then there must be something wrong.
Real men don’t ask for help.
Real women say “I can do bad ALL BY MYSELF”
Look at this… we even celebrate INDEPENDENCE DAY
But I have to tell you… when I’m in a REAL battle… I don’t want to be the only one fighting my enemies.
Moses (this mighty man of God)
Moses (this powerhouse in the Lord)
Moses (a pastor who we would all follow)
Moses when he did all he could do to stand, stand in the fight, but sat down and let people help him.
YOU ARE NOT ALONG.
Jesus established His church… that the gates of Hell could not prevail against it…
He established his Body… not individuals to withstand the evil one… on that day.
When you are at battle.. when you’ve found yourself in the middle of a battle … look for your Aaron and your Hur.
This is the kind of church God called us to build… one that cared… one that knew that people couldn’t make it on their own…
If my arms get tired… who’s going to be my Aaron and Hur…
Oh you have to get this… in the church…
We are responsible to lift one another up…
You’re responsible to one another…
Sometimes you’re all that there is between you’re brothers arms falling…
And their victory… and their no shame in being the one helping… or being the one needing the help.
Yes I know… he want us to be the lender and not the borrower… but get this… if you’re in it alone… and your pride won’t let you ask for help… or your pride won’t let you even show people you’re going through…
Then… after you’ve all you can to STAND.. how are you supposed to STAND some more…
Now get this… I didn’t go alone. I’m willing to use the help I have… and I STILL in the battle and struggling…
Back to our story… in the story.. Moses help up his hands and they won… let them down and they lost,
And at the end of the story the Lord named the place Jehovah Nissi,
Meaning.. .the Lord is my banner…
He is my Standard.
Do remember last night the Lord ask me do you know who I am?
The question again, wasn’t did I know him.
I like to believe I do…
But the bigger question…
Do I know who I am…
Do I know where he is…
In War…
The battle get’s confusing…
When you’re fighting the enemy… sometimes you can completely forget what direction you should be moving…
You and even sort of lose sight of who you’re fighting for…
That was the purpose of banners and flags…
To remind you of who you were fighting for…
In the American revolution.. they would put a drummer and a flag bearer in the front line… so that you would never forget who you were fighting for… and what direction you were supposed to be moving..
Jehovah Nissi – the Lord is my banner
The Septuagint translators believed nis·si′ to be derived from nus (flee for refuge) and rendered it "the Lord My Refuge",[3] while in the Vulgate it was thought to be derived from na·sas′ (hoist; lift up) and was rendered "Jehovah Is My Exaltation".
In many modern Christian translations, such as the New International Version, the name is translated “the Lord is my banner."[4]
Now get this… the Lord is my Standard…
Do you see this…
The Lord asked me last night… with offering any additional information… “do you know who I am?”
He is my standard…
A young boy CANNOT use himself as a STANDARD as to what type of man he is supposed to be..
A young girl CANNOT use herself as the STANDARD for what a REAL woman is supposed to be…
Speak to my Staff…
It is the symbol of a pastor’s authority…
But only in this…
It is to remind the people where God is located.
It is to remind the people who the man God is speaking to..
It is to remind the people not where the man is… but to where the STANDARD is…
THE LORD IS MY STANDARD…
HE IS MY DIRECTION…
HE IS MY EXAMPLE…
IT IS SO EASY TO FORGET WHAT YOU’RE FIGHTING FOR…
EVERYBODY IS TRYING TO BE THEIR OWN STANDARD…
BUT GOD SAYS THAT HE IS THE STANDARD.
YOU CAN’T BE THE BEST YOU YOU’RE MEANT TO BE… WHILE YOU’RE TRYING TO USE YOU AS THE STANDARD OF WHAT THE BEST YOU IS.
You have to let God be the standard…
And when you lose sight of where the Standard is…
Look to his house..
If you need to know how to handle drama…
Look to his house…
If you don’t know how you’re going to eat…
Look to his house…
That was what Moses was going… RAISING THE STANDARD…
Its time church people started looking to other CHURCH people for examples…
During times of adversity… look to his house…
Its time we in the body of Christ set a standard.
I love this story:
5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses: "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread." 6 So the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died. 7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people. 8 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live." 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
While they looked to the STANDARD… they lived…
While they were busy doing other things… they died…
When ever they looked to the STANDARD… they lived…
When they had to go to their doctors appointments … they died…
When they were trying their own paths to success… the died…
When they put their trust in ANYTHING other than the one STANDARD of the Lord… they DIED.
This is important…
The LORD IS MY BANNER….
HE IS MY STANDARD…
AND IF I WANT TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE BATTLE I’M IN…
ITS TIME WE RAISED THE BANNER OF GOD OVER OUR LIVES…
AND FOLLOW HIM…
IF I WANT TO BE A CONQUEROR… TRY MY PATH…
IF I WANT TO BE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR… FOLLOW THE STANDARD.
MIRACLES….
CLOSE…
The name Jehovah-shammah, or “Jehovah Himself Is There,” would signify a representational presence of God like that expressed in other texts, such as Psalm 46:5; 132:13,14; Isaiah 24:23; Joel 3:21; and Zechariah 2:10,11, where Jehovah is spoken of as though residing in an earthly city or place.

STORY OF DAVID AND GOLIATH
1 Samuel 17:8-11
8 Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us." 10 And the Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together." 11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
1 Samuel 17:41-48
41 So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. 43 So the Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!" 45 Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands." 48 So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hastened and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

David realized point THREE
No matter how it looks... and no matter how much the enemy shouts at you... it is not your battle... it is not you who fight... but the God that fight in you...

John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

no matter how this situation feels... it is not about you... it not about you... no matter how frustrating it gets... this issue is not about you.

it is not your battle...

I can take you to scriptures that say it directly... but I want you to this... though they call you out... though they confront and assault you... at some point you have to recognize who you ARE in relation to HIM... you have to be able to say with confidence that I AM is he who sent YOU... every time you make the declaration and recognition of who you are...

I AM a child of a king
I AM a winner and not a loser
I AM VICTORIOUS
I AM AN OVERCOMER
I AM NOT AFRAID if you say it right and mean it right... when you SAY I AM... you are really saying GOD IS...
GOD IS VICTORIOUS
GOD IS AN OVERCOMER

GOD IS NOT AFRAID...
GOD IS MY SWORD AND SHIELD...
DONT PLAY WITH ME
I AM MY SWORD AND SHIELD...

GOD HAS GIVEN ME SUBSTITUTIONARY POWER AND AUTHORITY THAT GOD HAS PLACED IN ME... TO STAND IN THE GAP OF HIS LOVE AND VICTORY IN THE BATTLES HE SENDS ME INTO!!!

I CAN DECLARE VICTORY IN THE FACE OF FAILURE...
I CAN SHOUT DOWN ENEMIES THAT ARE TWICE MY SIZE...
IT IS NOT ME THAT'S SHOUTING... ITS HE THAT LIVES IN ME...
I AM SHOUTING...
GOD IS SHOUTING...
I AM PRAISING...
GOD IS PRAISING...
I AM DECLARING...
GOD IS DECLARING...
I AM NOT AFRIAD...
GOD IS NOT AFRAID...
I AM A WINNER AND NOT A LOSER..

AND IF YOU DOUBT THIS... YOU DO NOT KNOW MY GOD!

Eeee

...The Final Quest by Rick Joyner The Hordes of Hell Are Marching (Taken from "The Morning Star," Vol. 5, Nos 2-4, by Rick Joyner) The Evil Army I saw a demonic army so large that it stretched as far as I could see. It was separated into divisions, with each carrying a different banner. The foremost and most powerful divisions were Pride, Self righteousness, Respectability, Selfish Ambition, and Unrighteous Judgment, but the largest of all was Jealousy. The leader of this vast army was the Accuser of the Brethren himself. I knew that there were many more evil divisions beyond my scope of vision, but these were the vanguard of this terrible horde from hell that was now being released against the church. The weapons carried buy this horde had names on them: the swords were named Intimidation; the spears were named Treachery; and their arrows were named Accusations, Gossip, Slander and Faultfinding. Scouts and smaller companies of demons with such names as Rejection, Bitterness, Impatience, Un-forgiveness and Lust were sent in advance of this army to prepare for the main attack. I knew in my heart that the church had never faced anything like this before. The main assignment of this army was to cause division. It was sent to attack every level of relationship-churches with each other, congregations with their pastors, husbands and wives, children and parents, and even children with each other. The scouts were sent to locate the openings in churches, families or individuals that rejection...

He was sent back to the tool-house for left-handed saws, and down to the office to ask the pay cheater if the day's mail was in, though the rest of us knew it was only flown out every week. The kid's name was Cecil, and Maddon used to mouth it with a simpering mockery, as if it pointed to the kid being something less than a man. I must admit though that the name fitted him, for Cecil was the least likely lumberjack I've seen in over twenty-five years in lumber camps. Though we knew he was intelligent enough, and a man too, if smaller than most of us, we all kidded him, in the good natured way a bunkhouse gang will. Maddon however always lisped the kid's name as if it belonged to a woman. Moose Maddon was as different from Cecil as it is possible for two human beings to be and still stay within the species. He was a big moose of a man, even for a lumber stiff, with a round flat unshaven face that looked down angrily and dourly at the world. Cecil on the other hand was hardly taller than an axe-handle, and almost as thin. He was about nineteen years old, with the looks of an inquisitive sparrow behind his thick horn-rimmed glasses. He had been sent out to the camp for the summer months by an distant relative who had a connection with the head office down in Vancouver. That summer we were cutting big stuff in...

...topics in the course. This book is meant to be used in conjunction with the course work I have created for you. But here’s what you have to understand: this is not your typical finance course that just deals with money. Over the years, I have learned that I can tell you everything you need to do with money, but I can’t make you take action. Clearly, something must be preventing you from doing the things you know you should do. The goal of this course is both to teach you what to do with money and to help you remove those obstacles. Money is the currency of life. It is a physical manifestation of who you are. You are the one who goes out and earns a paycheck. You are the one who decides to take that paycheck and spend it, save it, or invest it. If you don’t have all the money you want in your life right now, then I am going to ask you to go within to discover why you are doing without. So, then the question becomes, Who are you and what must you do to bring the money you need and want into your life? And that is what makes this course di erent from any other personal finance course that has ever been o ered. It deals with the who—meaning you—and not just the what of money. v A Note from Suze I hope that in general you feel powerful and in control of your life. But do you really feel powerful and in control when it comes to your money? If you are like most people, you do not. As we grow, we claim our power in one way or another: We take on jobs, start families, and strive to...

Hiring the Right Employee

...today? It really is about whom you know; what you know helps too. Add onto that that you need to do extensive research on the company you will interview for and hope that they have done their own research on you such as call your references at least. But how far is a company willing to go to find out what kind of person you are before that initial interview? Some companies go as far as checking out your Facebook page, as well as your LinkedIn page, I don’t believe this is acceptable, nor do I think a potential employee should go to that length either. Have you ever heard the phrase it’s not about who you know, it’s about what you know? Well, today that is not always the case. Networking is very important when looking for that perfect fit job. You might ask, “What is networking?” Networking is a support system of information sharing and services (jobs) among individuals and groups having a common interest (dictionary.com). There are several ways of networking, some more common are over the internet and advertised or hidden market jobs (No One Will Hire Me). Advertised are just that, they are jobs found in the classified ads, or posted on websites such as Monster.com or CorridorCareers.com. Hidden jobs are the unadvertised jobs, or those that are word of mouth. Sometimes these are the best jobs and often pay more and have a more promising future. Internet is a great way to network as well, there are many sites out there that help you understand and help develop your...

Upcat

...(UPCAT) is just around the corner and you are surfing the Net, joining forums about THE test and looking for “special tips” for taking the examination, aren’t you? I see you. I cannot help but remember how chill I was on my exam day.  It was not really because I was so confident that I knew everything the premier state university expected me to know. I think it was more because I did not even think I would make the cut. I did not get to attend any review class nor did I buy all the best and recommended UPCAT reviewers. As many UPCAT passers will tell you, it is not really about how much you have studied the summer before for the entrance exams but how much you have learned in school since Day 1. “UPCAT is not a day but a season. It started the day you realized you needed to work hard for your high school grades so it could help you ace the test. UPCAT … started when you began to hope to be an Iskolar ng Bayan,” says broadcast communication graduate Joseph Cataan. All you need for UPCAT are refreshers because, as they say, “you already know what you know.” I was also calm and cool about the whole thing because I was never pressured by my parents. On UPCAT day, my dad said, “Just do what you have to do.” And so I did. People will tell you that getting into UP is not the be-all and end-all but it pays to be assured that you did your part, from pre- to post-exam. Survival tips Here are a few tips from successful survivors of the UPCAT to get you on your way down that maroon brick...

How Well Do You Know Me?

...Homework #1 Answers ECO 310 20 points possible 1 National Income Accounting (15 points) Consider an economy that produces and consumes bread, coffee, and automobiles. In the following table, we have data for two different years. The first 2 questions refer to this table. Year 2007 Year 2008 $20,000 $21,000 $1.25 $1.50 $2.00 $2.10 100 120 100,000 115,000 400,000 380,000 Price of 1 Automobile Price of 1 loaf of Bread Price of 1 cup of Coffee Number of Automobiles Produced Number of Cups of Coffee Produced Number of Loaves of Bread Produced 1. Using the year 2007 as the base year, compute the following statistics for each year: nominal GDP, real GDP, the GDP deflator (a Paasche price index) and the CPI (a Laspeyres price index). For the CPI, assume that the representative basket of goods is exactly the one produced in the year 2007 Answer: To calculate nominal GDP for 2007 is $20, 000 ∗ 100 + $1.25 ∗ 400, 000 + $2 ∗ 100, 000 = $2, 000, 000 + $500, 000 + $200, 000 = $2, 700, 000 for 2008 $21, 000 ∗ 120 + $1.50 ∗ 380, 000 + $2.1 ∗ 115, 000 = $2, 520, 000 + $570, 000 + $241, 500 = $3, 331, 500 To calculate real GDP for 2007, since 2007 is the base year real GDP 2007 equals $2,700,000 1 for 2008 just use the 2007 prices $20, 000 ∗ 120 + $1.25 ∗ 380, 000 + $2 ∗ 115, 000 = $2, 400, 000 + $475, 000 + $230, 000 = $3, 105, 000 The amount of stuff produced in 2008, at 2007 prices is the real GDP in 2008 To calculate the GDP deflator in both years simply divide Nominal GDP by Real GDP, so for...
