“Light from on high”
– Luk 1:78 (AMP)
Before I was born…
Warm greetings!
The following discussion may be somewhat controversial, but revelation often is. We all have an inbuilt desire to have meaning and purpose in life. Why are we here? What am I supposed to do with my life on earth?
Consider the following Scriptures, which I want to use as my departure point in this discussion: Jer 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations” and then Rev 17:8 … names… written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world…
It certainly points to the fact that our existence did not start at birth (or even at conception). We are eternal beings with God and He knew us before our mothers begot us (I guess “from the foundation of the world” was before any thought was given to me on earth!)
I can confirm this with personal experience. As I was praying with someone, that person suddenly said, “the Lord spoke over you when you were in your mother’s womb”. As our neocortex (reasoning ability) basically only develops AFTER birth, there was no way I could have any knowledge of that. Yet, my spirit “jumped” inside of me as I knew it to be true! There was interaction between God and me before I was born – maybe more precisely, before I was sent to earth.
So, here’s the deal: finding your God-given purpose on earth is a matter of connecting to your spirit to “retrieve” pre-birth knowledge. Now I know that is a mouthful, to say the least. But the more revelation we receive about our eternal communication and fellowship with God (prior to coming to the earth), the better we will grasp our “calling”. In a sense, prophetic words concerning our lives simply connect us to the Divine knowledge residing in our spirit-man…
Now I am not suggesting simply engaging in human spirit-talk (sometimes that may be necessary), but I am suggesting time in God’s eternal courts! In His presence of holiness and purity we are guaranteed of truth without deception. My entire ministry has been about Divine intimacy and fellowship and I don’t think that can ever be overemphasized! You have a treasure in your spirit, but it needs to be revealed and released!
God bless
