Sermon Notes "I Hid It In The Word" by Elder Vic Hayes

The longest relationship we are involved with is the "Word". The Word was in the beginning of

existence and will extend to the ends of this earth on to eternity (John 1:1).The Word is the

creative concept (thoughts, meditation) of God personified. A relationship is the way two or

more people are connected, or the way they behave toward each other. We have been

connected to God and his creative thoughts and heart meditation the (WORD), long before a

county birth certificate or a state record of birth.

Text: Jeremiah 1:5 BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I KNEW thee; and before thou camest

forth out of the womb I SANCTIFED thee, and I ORDAINED thee a prophet unto the nations.

(Jeremiah 1:5)

Point 1. There's an assignment in you before the "Flesh"

The word "Before" in Hebrews is "terem" which means to interrupt or suspend, not yet, or ere.

A. Before you go and do what you want to do check... the Word first.

B. Before you are stifled by what you can't do .... check the Word first

C. You can all things in the Spirit or you can a lot of nothing in the Flesh. Check the Word

first.

Point 2. I Knew You and Made a Way for You

The word "Knew" in Hebrews is yada which means to recognize, validate your care, in close

observation.

A. God knew the particulars about you because he knew what he formed you to do

B. God certified you. He recognized you as having the qualification to meet the standards

Point 3. Take Your Hands Off Me

The Hebrew word for Sanctified is "kodesh" depending on the context means"Holy" or

consecrated or dedicated set apart. It speaks to a distinction or difference where the thing

described is different or distinguishable from all others. Kodesh describes God.

A. He asked us to be what only can make us be

B. No cheap fleshly substitution of Me

Life Application: Know that you were born for this and the details of Life are already in the

works. Walk in the Spirit and don’t settle for the under achieving desires of the flesh.
