Knitted Together



I recently attended a Kat Kerr conference.  One of the revelations she tells of involves the following verse:


Psalm 139:13-14

 13 For you created my inmost being;
   you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
   your works are wonderful,
   I know that full well."

This revelation is incredible to me. Kat Kerr reports of the the Lord telling her that at the time of conception the He sends, by way of the Holy Spirit, a little tiny spirit from within His being down and literally knits the spirit to the flesh of the baby inside the mother's womb.  This tiny spirit is and has always existed within Him.  So, He literally knew us before we were born because our spirit that He placed inside of each of us has always existed with in him. 'It' has always been and 'it' can never die.  When we die "it' (our spirit) either returns to heaven and lives forever with Him or goes to Hell and lives forever there...  


As I pondered and marveled at this revelation...I am quickened to the Lord telling me, "My words are literal." You know the Lord doesn't try to get one over on us... He is a beautiful wordsmith but he is so direct with his speech... Now, that I have said that let me say this... He is so direct with his speech at times that our minds just can't comprehend such incredible things... Therefore, he speaks also in parables...dark speech...Even the symbolic speech that he uses is literally translated.  


Hearing of this revelation the Lord quickened me to this verse: 

James 4:5
"Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us ?"



Earlier in the year I was reading James and I stopped on this verse...


HEARD:  "Read it again."


So, I did.  I just couldn't grasp what the Lord was wanting me to understand... So, I read it again... and again... 


HEARD: "Why? Why do I jealously long for the spirit I caused to dwell in you"? 


He then opened my understanding and caused me to understand.. Because the spirit he caused to dwell within us is His....It is part of HIM.  This spirit that was knitted together in our flesh at the time we were being woven in our mothers' womb came from inside of the God of this universe...Therefore, our bodies are literally the temple of the Holy Spirit...The Living God! 




1 Corinthians 6:19-20

"19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

Even before we accept Christ as our Savior, God placed part of Him inside of us...We are literally God's offspring and He longs, jealously, for that spirit that He knitted together with our flesh to return to Him when we die.  Wow~ Doesn't that give you a much deeper understanding of the call on your life to live holy and pure before Him? 



Father, there are so many times when I am speechless before you... Your works are so incredible... Father I praise you for revelations of your word... I give you all praise all glory... For I am fearfully and wonderfully made in your image... I thank you Father! In Jesus Name.
