“You Have Covered Me In My Mother’s Womb”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 139

Man is light covered with blood. Man is not flesh and blood but a light covered in blood.

John 1:9 “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”

Every man or woman that comes into the world is simply light encapsulated with blood. This was why God knew Jeremiah before he was formed in His mother’s womb.

Jeremiah 1:5 “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.”

Not only did God know Jeremiah before he was encapsulated with blood (formed in his mother’s womb), God knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb because you are light; a spiritual light.

This light cannot hide from God no matter what the individual does. The light is what God sees.

The Psalmist writes.

Let’s read:

Psalm 139:1-6 “O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. [2] Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. [3] Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. [4] For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. [5] Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. [6] Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”

God is Light. Men and women are lights coming with God. These lights were placed in blood to form a body. One can only understand this by looking at Jesus Christ and His birth.

Luke 1:31-32,35 “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. [32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: [35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”

Just like us, Jesus Christ was Light (Spiritual Light) encapsulated in blood, and placed in the womb of Mary. This blood ultimately formed a body, the man Christ Jesus.

Jesus Christ is the Light of God in a body.

John 8:12 “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and so is any man or woman.

Matthew 5:14 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”

Men and women are lights in a body.

The light has to be turned on by faith (believing).

Faith turns on the light, and unbelief turns off the light.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 139:7-12 “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? [8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. [9] If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; [10] Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. [11] If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. [12] Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”

The light that we are cannot hide from God.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 139:13-23 “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. [14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. [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! [18] If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. [19] Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. [20] For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. [21] Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? [22] I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. [23] Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.”

God looks at the light to see if it’s turned on (faith) or if it’s turned off (unbelief).
Lights turned on pleases God because it becomes His dwelling place. Lights turned off (darkness) displeases God because it becomes a dwelling place for the enemy.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 139:24 “And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

The wicked way is light turned off (unbelief).

Turn on your light. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Light of the world as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. You are light, in Christ!
