0:42 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. Jeremiah one was fight regard is seeing to each and every one of us. I knew you, given before you were formed in your mother's home. I knew you even before you were formed in your mother's home, definitely without a doubt. One of the verse is that you would have known without anybody even putting a gun on your head. Is this verse if you grew up in a Christian church and a Christian environment, that God knew you. And this is a verse that we often quote to tell people that you know God has a plan and a purpose for you.

1:25 You're not here by mistake. You're not here by accident. You're not here just to make it through life. God knew you even before the foundations of the world, and he has a plan, and he has a purpose, and he created you because of the fact that you're valuable, you're special, you're a masterpiece, and so on and so forth. Now, the thing is this, When I was thinking of this scripture, this just popped into my spirit and I thought I had to share it with you. Guys. You know the word it says that I knew you, you know, to help you understand the depth of what God is meaning in this that he knew us.

2:04 I was just thinking about is. See, when when you are getting to know somebody, right, the first thing you say, well, you know, i've heard of this person. I've heard of somebody. That's what you would say, I've heard of someone, I've heard of you. I've heard some good things about you. So that's from a very very distant perspective of i've heard of you, or in some cases people may say i've seen you, like, oh, well, you know, I've also observed and I've seen you. You know you do this, you do that, this is your personality that I've seen you, and so on and so forth.

2:38 You know, I've seen this person. That's the next level after saying I've heard of somebody. You're saying i've seen this person. That means you're in a closer proximity in comparison to that. And the next thing is you go to a place where you will say I know about this person you know and you say, well, you know, I've heard about this person, or I know about this person. I got some information about this person, I have seen certain things, and I know about this person. But the step that goes even more closer in terms of proximity in that relationship is when you say I know that person for myself, I know the person you know.

3:21 I want you to understand your The intensity with which God is knowing you is not just saying I've heard about you or I've just seen you from a distance, or I just know about you. I know your nature, I know your preferences from what you do or what you say, I know what you are up to, and so on and so forth. But God is going the other extra mile and saying I know you, I know you, which means that you see for any relationship with the matter right. You You first get to hear about them, and then you get to see them or you know and so on and so forth, and you get to know about them, and then eventually you come to a place where you know them for yourself, where you say, hey, I know this person.

4:16 I have had that close walk with this person. I know who this person is. I know their preferences, I know their thoughts, I know where they come from, I know their heart, I know their intentions. That's the place you go. So I was I was going through on the internet about what it means to know somebody. It means to say I know this person in an inside out in a deeper level. I know their preferences, I know you know them more than somebody who just knows about them. Are you getting what I'm saying right?

4:52 And I want you to understand. This is not something where it says God knows you because you have had a far year relation tip with him, like you gave your life to Christ and you followed through to have the relationship with Him through which he knows you. Know, the Bible is saying in Jeremiah one verse, why that God knows you even before you are formed in your mother's form. Can you understand the depth of what this is talking about the level that we go to to know someone. We go through gradients, we go through levels.

5:28 But God is saying, even before you were formed in your mother's room, I knew you. I knew you. I know about your preferences, I know where you come from, I know the deepest secrets of your heart. I know the struggles, I know your questions, I know your doubts, and I'm leading you every step along the way. Today I pray that this world will go forth and encourage you. If you're feeling like, oh my gosh, John, you know nobody understands or what is going on with my life. I pray that this word will go forth and be a blessing in the name of Jesus.

6:05 The word of God is powerful. You know. This is something that a lot just put in my spirit, and I think that somebody needed to hear this word to know that God knows them. Not because of what you have been doing in your life outside of after coming out of your mother's womb, but He knew you even before that. He knows you even before the foundations of the world.
