"The Mouth Speaks What the Heart Holds"

“The Mouth Speaks What the Heart Holds”

“You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.”     Matthew 12:34.

“But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the Day of Judgment.  “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”    Matthew 12:36-37



These words were spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ, to a group of people, and within that group, were some Pharisees, some believe that Jesus’ words were directed mainly at them.  Because they were the Religious leaders, and their WORDS were NOT what was NEEDED for the benefit of the people.  In a lot of cases they were leading the people in the WRONG direction, ESPECIALLY, with their REJECTION of JESUS as the SON of the Living God, nor did they BELIEVE that He was the PROMISED MESSIAH.



And that was why Jesus called them a “BROOD of VIPERS (SNAKES), He ask them: “How can you, being EVIL, speak what is good?  For the MOUTH speaks out of that which fills the HEART.”  In other words, Your MOUTH will REVEAL what the CONTENT of your HEART is.  If you are NOT a TRUE CHILD of God, that is, if you have NOT TOTALLY GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to God, then your HEART is EVIL, and your MOUTH, will give it AWAY, by the CARELESS, WORTHLESS, INSIGNIFICANT, WORDS you speak.



And therefore, mankind needs to be VERY CAREFUL of the WORDS they SPEAK, because they will be held ACCOUNTABLE on the Day of Judgment for their CARELESS WORDS.   Words that would TURN PEOPLE AWAY from, the LORD JESUS, words that would bring HURT and HARM to someone who is struggling with their SPIRITUAL LIFE.   Words that would bring SHAME and DISHONOR to the HOLY RIGHTEOUS GOD of the UNIVERSE. 



The Word of God says: “The GOOD man brings out of their GOOD treasure what is GOOD; and the EVIL man brings out of their EVIL treasure, what is EVIL.” (v 35)  So, the question is:  What are you bringing out of your TREASURE, GOOD or EVIL?  Keep in mind, that your WORDS, will REVEAL what the HEART HOLDS.  And by your WORDS you will be JUSTIFIED or CONDEMNED, depending on if you have given your HEART and LIFE to God, if NOT you, by the CONTENTS of your HEART, REVEALED by the WORDS of your MOUTH, will determine whether you will be JUSTIFIED or CONDEMNED.  In order to be JUSTIFIED, you MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM YOUR sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and let the WORDS of your MOUTH and the MEDITATION of your HEART be PLEASING and ACCEPTABLE to God.    Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
