Spiritual Moodiness-Busted! Text: Isaiah 43:1,7

But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel: “ Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.7 Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
Many believers have learned how to worship and speak His words, but their worship is old, dry and cold because they aren’t living close to the springs. Again, many have learned His language, but it’s not real or relevant because even though these men and women know how-they aren’t doing!
Its kind of like telling someone how good of cook you are, but you never cook, so it sounds good, but I have never tasted it!
In the text I read to you God uses three words so that we might understand His ways, and how involved He was and is in every person’s life that will acknowledge Him. 1.He Created. 2. He Formed. 3. He Made.
This word I’m sharing with you today will get all moodiness out and bring in you the realization that the thing God created, formed and made within you was given so you can allow other’s to experience Him too!
When you are living in Him and tasting Him you will begin to do what God did in you. Create, Form and make! (Not boring.)
Proverbs 6:2 You are snared by the words of your mouth; you are taken by the words of your mouth.
We need to remember that our words are powerful! Just as God created, formed and made you; He created, formed and made everything! (He spoke and it was.)
Remember what the angel told John in Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
This Angel was telling John that angels and humans should have the same testimony, which is the Spirit of prophecy! In other words, as we speak, think and live under God’s anointing, our word’s carry weight, and our thoughts become more of His thoughts, and our life is lived out as He lives!
When God can trust us with our mouth, He will trust us with His anointing! (Question, does His anointing come and go, and moodiness shows up often?)
Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
As God’s word goes into the atmosphere it looks for a vessel to “speak” something into the present in order to unfold the future!
God’s word is going to say, “Dig deeper, go farther, don’t stop, dig deeper!”
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.14.And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Jesus knew the word because He was the word in the flesh! Listen, For N.T. believers and grace grabbers-Jesus became another Mount Sinai experience for mankind!
The Word, the great “I AM,” “the All in All,” was given to His people! He who was, who is, and who is to come, the fullness of God, had arrived!
The remedy to moodiness has come! I go to the gym at least 3 times a week, it once was dreaded, but now I couldn’t stop it. Why? Because I stirred myself up to do something so I could look and feel better!
I believe, just as people ritualistically visit the gym to improve their physical condition, we must visit the throne room and spend time with God in order to improve the stature of our Spirit man!
God has deposited within each one of us His precious Spirit, and He desires to help us and make us great in Spirit, wisdom and power!
When you understand why God loves you and created, formed and made you then you will have Isaiah 43:2-6When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. 3 For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. 4 Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. 5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west; 6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth— 7 Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him
