Before You Were Born, I Consecrated You.

-Meditation-
Jeremiah 1:5
"...and before you were born, I consecrated you."


--TheSecretPlace--


Hello all, first I would like to apologize for not posting yesterday, I was gone all day, and then fell asleep, which is irresponsible of me, so I do apologize.

As I read Jeremiah 1:5-8, my heart was so captivated, and I couldn't help but take a few days on this scripture, simply because there is so much revelation in it, and I want to touch on as much of it as I can.

So I want to take some time to focus in on this next phrase, because it is so awesome!!

"Before you were born I consecrated you"


Have you ever had that feeling that you were created for greatness, and it was just so engraved on your heart that you knew you were created, and ---set apart--- for something amazing?
Some have some haven't, but whether you feel it or not, God= The God of the universe, before we were born, set us apart for what has been set apart for our lives, whatever His plans for our lives may be.

To think about the time before we were born, or formed may seem pointless to some, but the truth is, if we don't understand that the LORD God Almighty has had set aside plans for us, and if we don't understand that He knew us, and consecrated us before we were here, we would have more of an excuse to not believe the LORD loves us and cares about us so much. It is just such an amazing thing to have been wanted by God before anyone else, before we were born, and before we were even formed!!!
We are truly blessed as sons, and daughters of God, and I just think about how loving parents are before they have a baby, and it is so amazing because before the baby is born they love him-or her, and they would never abort him-or her, but they love the baby with all they are. It is truly an amazing picture of love, that the parents would devote themselves to this human being that they have never laid their eyes on, that they have never touched, and that is how the LORD is with us, He would never abandon us, or forsake us, but with every step we take He pursues us, and cheers us on towards Himself, the prize-Jesus Christ.

As I think upon this verse, I think about how the LORD really wants us to walk as ones who are consecrated to Him, and who are known by Him, and I believe we need to realize how much power is within one who walks in the knowledge that he(or she) has ever been consecrated, and known by the LIVING-LOVING-ETERNAL-GOD.

That would cause a chain reaction of events in the people of God leading to revival, and it would ultimately lead to the second coming of JESUS.--Because once we (truly) know who we are, we realize what we were made for.


We were made for God, and to get God we need it to be the lovesick cry of our hearts to be with God, and do everything we can possibly do to so move our Beloved Bridegroom to rend the heavens and come down to be with Him-Because it won't be right on earth until He splits the sky and comes down. I am so convinced that when we begin, as the body of Christ to understand what we were made for-fellowship with Jesus-, and we actually begin to cry out for Jesus' second coming, the churches in the earth will be shaken, and will not look the same. Jesus' bride will more and more begin to look like, and be the PURE and SPOTLESS BRIDE He has been so kindly, and intensely waiting for. For 2,000 years Jesus, our FAITHFUL BRIDEGROOM has been waiting, and I believe that this is the generation, and this is the time to take our stand as the lovesick Bride of Christ, and cry out for our Bridegroom.

Who knows how the LORD will respond if we cry out.

Jeremiah 33:3 says

CAll to me, and I will answer you, and tell you great, and unsearchable things that you have not known(do not know).

1 Samuel 1

Hannah prayed, and cried out for a son-to the glory of God-, and the LORD gave her Samuel, the prophet Samuel, who was close to the LORD, and whose words The LORD did not let fall to the ground. The LORD even gave her more sons and daughters because she was faithful with Samuel.

2 Chronicles 7:14

"If my people who are called by my Name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will forgive their sin, and heal their land."


Moses continually cried out to the LORD, and relentlessly went to Pharaoh on behalf of the house of Israel, and the LORD set them free.


And one of my favorites.

Joel 2:12-14

"Yet even now" declares the LORD, 'return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning, and rend your hearts, and not your garments.'
Return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and He relents over disaster. Who knows whether He will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him, and a grain offering, and a drink offering for the LORD your God?"

So much happens when we cry out to God, but the best result is the END result. ;)


When Jesus walked, His confidence was sure in who He was. Jesus knew who He was. Jesus knew He was the Son of the Living God.

And if you have a hard time knowing who you, and walking as one with confidence in who you are, just rely on the firm foundation that You are loved by God, and that is really all we need.


I just want to let you know that the LORD is so captivated by you. He calls you beautiful. He calls you lovely. He sees you HOLY. He doesn't expect you to be what you are not. He has good plans for you, that you yourself will love walking in. He is your helper. He holds your right hand when you need Him-Isaiah 41:13-


May the LORD BLESS you and KEEP you as the apple of His eye.


---Intercession---

Yeshua, You are the LORD Most High, and it delights me to serve You, the Great, and Living God. You are so BEAUTIFUL!!! You are so Holy! You are so Majestic, and Awesome. Thank You so much for how You make Yourself known to us. God, thank You Lord for being here for us, You are so High, I can't even describe YOU! You are Jesus! You are the Christ! You are LOVE.! Thank You for being LOVE, we desperately need Your touch, oh God of Jacob, O God who is love, we need YOUR TOUCH ALONE!! Thank you JESUS for who you are!! The One who was, and is and is to come. Blessed are you who comes in the Name of the LORD. Halelujah! Praise You God!! Jesus you are Glorious.
Thank you Lord, in Jesus Name.


Lastly I just feel like the LORD would say to you, to continue to seek His face, and continue to press in to know Him. What He calls us to is for our good, and He loves to work His good through our bad. In our bad circumstances, and every area of our life, and truthfully, every area of our lives are bad until we have Jesus working His good through our bad.

We see His good in what He does, but we can also see HIS good through the work He does through us. 

Isaiah 1:16-17 says

"Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, LEARN TO DO GOOD; seek JUSTICE, correct oppression; bring JUSTICE to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause."


The LORD is with You who are His. Be blessed, and stay in the place of prayer-The Lord will meet you, and will bless you for coming to Him, and crying out to Him, and for Him.

Be blessed
In Jesus Name
