THE HEART CAN BE A SOURCE OF GOOD OR EVIL
THE HEART CAN CONTROL YOUR SPEECH
Luke 6:45: A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
WORDS CAN ALSO BE A SOURCE OF FAITH
Romans 10:10: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Christianity is about The Word of God
• cleaning us up from the inside out
• We are on a QUEST (mission, journey, pilgrims just passing through)
• To Reflect that New Creature that God called us to be
• More than just saying the sinner’s prayer then going about our business
THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH ARE CONNECTED WITH THE THOUGHTS OF YOUR HEART
• The heart is the tree while the fruit is the mouth.
• You expect a lemon tree to produce lemons
James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
• We are to produce Christian fruit
Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
David said in Ps 51:10: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. (not heart in our chest)
The Lord wants our hearts and not just lip service
We believe with and in our hearts: Romans 10:9
Love from the heart: Matt 22:37
Jesus said Matthew 15:8: 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Now, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
