out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks luke 6 45

Therefore, be mindful of what your say and create life, create hope. Consider how others feed from the words of your mouth. I have taught you to feed off every Word proceeding from My mouth for I only speak that which gives life. Let the inherent power of My Word have its way. Choose not to come into agreement with visible negative facts but release the truth of My Word over the situation or person. Just because something looks one way on the surface doesn’t mean it is as it seems or that it has to stay the same. Often times, words are spoken in relation to observations made about circumstances and situations you encounter. Words not thought out before spoken can cause you to veer off the path of righteous ways of being and doing. So be most careful! Reckless words born out of wrong thoughts not taken captive to the obedience of Christ leads to mistakes and unkind ways. Each negative thought you give in to makes way for more unprofitable thoughts. There is no such thing as a little wrong thought. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45). Thoughts contrary to the Word make mischief in your heart. Even if they have a seemingly neutral connotation, to them there is almost always an underlying motive of some sort. They either bring about good consequences or bad ones. There is no such thing as inconsequential word. Let our prayer be, “Create in me a pure heart, O God” (Psalm 51:10).Word of the Day Beloved, put away all thoughts, words and deeds against others no matter how small and in inconsequential they may seem. Armor is only useful when we are “strong in the Lord and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10). We are relaxed at home, unaware that the spiritual warfare is there as well, and we should not give up our spiritual armor as we enter our homes. This is the area most under attack by our enemy, for if we are defeated at home, we are not victorious anywhere. “But,” you may say, “I can control what I say with everybody but my husband (wife or children), and do you mean that my heart is judged evil with one person when I get along so well with others?”ĭon’t you see that these are the people with whom we have an emotional attachment, a closeness, an intimacy where politeness cannot control us? These are the people who know us best, who know us as we really are. I have His promise in 1 John 1:9 that “if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” What is the solution? I have found that I must first admit to God my responsibility for what I have said and recognize the polluted source. If these two efforts fail and the words escape, then we try to deny what we said. We expend much useless energy trying by self-control to put a lid on our words, or we try to camouflage our words to protect our spiritual image. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?” (James 3:10-11). “Out of the same mouth came praise and cursing. James, in his letter, denies this by a rhetorical question. We would like to think that two streams of words can proceed from a single source. Jesus said, “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” (Luke 6:45). When we look at the context, it is even more devastating. These are all excuses and inadmissible in the light of what Jesus said. We do not want to be held responsible for what comes from our mouths.

This statement meets with stiff resistance from children and adults alike. These are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ.

“For out of the overflow of his heart the mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45) This is another article written by my wife Bessie.
