BEFORE we were even BORN

 

Exodus 33:17

King James Version

17 And the Lord said unto Moses, 

I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: 

for thou hast found grace in my sight, 

and I know thee by name.


You will love knowing these things.

Wherein GOD knew us.

Before we were even born.

How can the LORD not know?

He created us.

He has a purpose for us.

These verses prove it.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man 

of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.


Genesis 1:26-27

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing 

that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.


Exodus 33:12

King James Version

12 And Moses said unto the Lord, 

See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: 

and thou hast not let me know 

whom thou wilt send with me. 

Yet thou hast said, 

I know thee by name, 

and thou hast also found grace 

in my sight.


Job 1:20-22

King James Version

20 Then Job arose,

 and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, 

and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

21 And said, 

Naked came I out of my mother's womb, 

and naked shall I return thither: 

the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; 

blessed be the name of the Lord.

22 In all this Job sinned not, 

nor charged God foolishly.


Job 10:8-13

King James Version

8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me 

together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

9 Remember, I beseech thee, 

that thou hast made me as the clay; 

and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, 

and curdled me like cheese?

11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, 

and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, 

and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: 

I know that this is with thee.


Job 31:14-15

King James Version

14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? 

and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? 

and did not one fashion us in the womb?

but the way of the ungodly shall perish.


Psalm 22:9-10

King James Version

thou didst make me hope 

when I was upon my mother's breasts.

10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: 

thou art my God from my mother's belly.


Psalm 71:5-6

King James Version

5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: 

thou art my trust from my youth.

6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: 

thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: 

my praise shall be continually of thee.


Psalm 100:3

King James Version

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: 

it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; 

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.


Psalm 139:1-2

2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, 

thou understandest my thought afar off.

thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.


Psalm 139:14

King James Version

14 I will praise thee; 

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: 

marvellous are thy works; 

and that my soul knoweth right well.


Psalm 139:15-17

King James Version

15 My substance was not hid from thee, 

when I was made in secret, 

and curiously wrought 

in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, 

yet being unperfect; 

and in thy book all my members were written, 

which in continuance were fashioned, 

when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! 

how great is the sum of them!


Isaiah 44:1-4

King James Version

44 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; 

and Israel, whom I have chosen:

2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee, 

and formed thee from the womb, 

which will help thee; 

Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; 

and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, 

and floods upon the dry ground: 

I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, 

and my blessing upon thine offspring:

4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, 

as willows by the water courses.


Isaiah 44:21-23

King James Version

21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; 

for thou art my servant: I have formed thee;

 thou art my servant: O Israel,

 thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, 

thy transgressions, 

and, as a cloud, thy sins: 

return unto me; 

for I have redeemed thee.

23 Sing, O ye heavens; 

for the Lord hath done it: 

shout, ye lower parts of the earth: 

break forth into singing, ye mountains,

O forest, and every tree therein: 

for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, 

and glorified himself in Israel.


Isaiah 46:9-10

King James Version

9 Remember the former things of old: 

for I am God, and there is none else; 

I am God, and there is none like me,

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, 

and from ancient times the things 

that are not yet done, saying, 

My counsel shall stand, 

and I will do all my pleasure:


Isaiah 49:1-5

King James Version

49 Listen, O isles, unto me; 

and hearken, ye people, from far; 

The Lord hath called me from the womb; 

from the bowels of my mother 

hath he made mention of my name.

2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; 

in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, 

and made me a polished shaft;

 in his quiver hath he hid me;

3 And said unto me, 

Thou art my servant, O Israel, 

in whom I will be glorified.

4 Then I said, 

I have laboured in vain, 

I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: 

yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, 

and my work with my God.

5 And now, 

saith the Lord that formed me from the womb 

to be his servant, 

to bring Jacob again to him, 

Though Israel be not gathered, 

yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, 

and my God shall be my strength.


Jeremiah 1:4-5

King James Version

4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; 

and before thou camest forth out of the womb 

I sanctified thee, 

and I ordained thee a prophet 

unto the nations.


Jeremiah 29:10-13

King James Version

10 For thus saith the Lord, 

That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon 

I will visit you, 

and perform my good word toward you, 

in causing you to return to this place.

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 

saith the Lord, 

thoughts of peace, and not of evil, 

to give you an expected end.

12 Then shall ye call upon me, 

and ye shall go and pray unto me, 

and I will hearken unto you.

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, 

when ye shall search for me 

with all your heart.

hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, 

against the whole family which I brought up 

from the land of Egypt, saying,

2 You only have I known 

of all the families of the earth: 

therefore I will punish you 

for all your iniquities.


Zechariah 12:1-3

King James Version

12 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, 

saith the Lord, 

which stretcheth forth the heavens, 

and layeth the foundation of the earth, 

and formeth the spirit of man within him.

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem 

a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, 

when they shall be in the siege 

both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem 

a burdensome stone for all people: 

all that burden themselves with it 

shall be cut in pieces,

 though all the people of the earth 

be gathered together against it.


Luke 1:11-19

King James Version

11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord 

standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

12 And when Zacharias saw him, 

he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

13 But the angel said unto him, 

Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; 

and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, 

and thou shalt call his name John.

14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; 

and many shall rejoice at his birth.

15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, 

and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; 

and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, 

even from his mother's womb.

16 And many of the children of Israel 

shall he turn to the Lord their God.

17 And he shall go before him 

in the spirit and power of Elias, 

to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, 

and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; 

to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, 

Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, 

and my wife well stricken in years.

19 And the angel answering said unto him, 

I am Gabriel, 

that stand in the presence of God; 

and am sent to speak unto thee, 

and to shew thee these glad tidings.


Luke 1:39-45

King James Version

39 And Mary arose in those days, 

and went into the hill country with haste, 

into a city of Juda;

40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, 

and saluted Elisabeth.

41 And it came to pass, that, 

when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, 

the babe leaped in her womb; 

and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, 

Blessed art thou among women, 

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

43 And whence is this to me, 

that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation 

sounded in mine ears, 

the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

45 And blessed is she that believed: 

for there shall be a performance of those things 

which were told her from the Lord.


Luke 1:76-80

King James Version

76 And thou, child, 

shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: 

for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord

 to prepare his ways;

77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people 

by the remission of their sins,

78 Through the tender mercy of our God; 

whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

79 To give light to them that sit in darkness 

and in the shadow of death, 

to guide our feet into the way of peace.

80 And the child grew, 

and waxed strong in spirit, 

and was in the deserts 

till the day of his shewing unto Israel.


John 10:27-28

King James Version

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them 

out of my hand.


John 15:16

King James Version

16 Ye have not chosen me, 

but I have chosen you, 

and ordained you, 

that ye should go and bring forth fruit, 

and that your fruit should remain: 

that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father 

in my name, he may give it you.


John 17:5

King James Version

5 And now, O Father, 

glorify thou me with thine own self 

with the glory which I had with thee 

before the world was.


Acts 15:8-12

King James Version

8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, 

bare them witness, 

giving them the Holy Ghost, 

even as he did unto us;

9 And put no difference between us and them, 

purifying their hearts by faith.

10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, 

to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, 

which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

11 But we believe that 

through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ 

we shall be saved, even as they.

12 Then all the multitude kept silence, 

and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, 

declaring what miracles and wonders 

God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.


Acts 15:18

King James Version

18 Known unto God are all his works

 from the beginning of the world.


Romans 8:28-31

King James Version

28 And we know that all things work together 

for good to them that love God, 

to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, 

he also did predestinate 

to be conformed to the image of his Son,

 that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, 

them he also called: 

and whom he called, them he also justified: 

and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 What shall we then say to these things? 

If God be for us, who can be against us?


Romans 9:1-4

King James Version

9 I say the truth in Christ, 

I lie not, 

my conscience also bearing me witness 

in the Holy Ghost,

2 That I have great heaviness 

and continual sorrow in my heart.

3 For I could wish that myself were accursed 

from Christ for my brethren, 

my kinsmen according to the flesh:

4 Who are Israelites; 

to whom pertaineth the adoption, 

and the glory, 

and the covenants, 

and the giving of the law, 

and the service of God, 

and the promises;


1 Corinthians 13:12

King James Version

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; 

but then face to face: now I know in part; 

but then shall I know even as also I am known.

King James Version

15 But when it pleased God, 

who separated me from my mother's womb, 

and called me by his grace,

16 To reveal his Son in me, 

that I might preach him among the heathen; 

immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:


Ephesians 1:3-7

King James Version

3 Blessed be the God and Father 

of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings

in heavenly places in Christ:

4 According as he hath chosen us in him 

before the foundation of the world, 

that we should be holy 

and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us 

unto the adoption of children 

by Jesus Christ to himself, 

according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, 

wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, 

the forgiveness of sins, 

according to the riches of his grace;


Ephesians 1:11-12

King James Version

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, 

being predestinated according to the purpose of him 

who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, 

who first trusted in Christ.


Ephesians 2:8-10

King James Version

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; 

and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, 

created in Christ Jesus unto good works, 

which God hath before ordained 

that we should walk in them.


Ephesians 4:7

King James Version

according to the measure of the gift of Christ.


Ephesians 4:10-15

King James Version

10 He that descended is the same also 

that ascended up far above all heavens, 

that he might fill all things.)

11 And he gave some, apostles; 

and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; 

and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, 

for the work of the ministry, 

for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, 

and of the knowledge of the Son of God, 

unto a perfect man, 

unto the measure of the stature 

of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be no more children, 

tossed to and fro, 

and carried about with every wind of doctrine, 

by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, 

whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth in love, 

may grow up into him in all things, 

which is the head, even Christ:


Colossians 1:16-17

King James Version

16 For by him were all things created, 

that are in heaven, and that are in earth, 

visible and invisible, 

whether they be thrones, or dominions, 

or principalities, or powers: 

all things were created by him, and for him:

17 And he is before all things, 

and by him all things consist.


2 Timothy 1:7-11

King James Version

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

8 Be not thou therefore ashamed 

of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: 

but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel 

according to the power of God;

9 Who hath saved us, 

and called us with an holy calling, 

not according to our works, 

but according to his own purpose and grace, 

which was given us in Christ Jesus 

before the world began,

10 But is now made manifest 

by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, 

who hath abolished death, 

and hath brought life and immortality to light 

through the gospel:

11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, 

and an apostle, 

and a teacher of the Gentiles.


2 Timothy 2:19

King James Version

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God 

standeth sure, having this seal, 

The Lord knoweth them that are his. 

And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ 

depart from iniquity.


1 Peter 1:1-5

King James Version

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, 

to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, 

Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2 Elect 

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, 

through sanctification of the Spirit, 

unto obedience and sprinkling 

of the blood of Jesus Christ: 

Grace unto you, 

and peace, be multiplied.

3 Blessed be the God 

and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

which according to his abundant mercy 

hath begotten us again unto a lively hope 

by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, 

and undefiled, 

and that fadeth not away, 

reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God 

through faith unto salvation 

ready to be revealed in the last time.


1 John 3:1

the Father hath bestowed upon us, 

that we should be called the sons of God: 

therefore the world knoweth us not, 

because it knew him not.

because he first loved us.

Never again will you wonder GOD's purpose for you.

Never again will you doubt GOD's LOVE for you.

Scripture has made things clear.
