The importance of the words we say has been stressed over the weeks. Our words are not just for communication with the next person but for creation. In fact, our words communicate creation. Our lives are largely in the direction of our words.
At this point of this teaching, it is important we make some things clear so as to buttress our understanding and so many people don’t just talk and hope to see and when they don’t see what they are saying, they make light of this truth.
I show you this fundamental truth, it is not just what we say with our words but what is sitted in our hearts. The heart can’t contain one thing and the mouth is saying another and we hope to see what the mouth is saying.
But note, there is no idle word. Every word spoken has an impact on life; yours or another’s.
Then, what am I driving at? The heart and words connect is the focus here. The things that show up in your life are first a product of the things in your heart, then your mouth—as in your words.
Three steps: Heart, words and tangible reality. The first two must be in sync for the last to manifest what is said.
“O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
Matthew 12:34-37 KJV
Also, note, the heart was thought to be the seat of the inner self (composed of life, soul, mind, and spirit). Heart is similar in meaning to soul, but often the heart has a focus on thinking and understanding.
Most times when we hear the word "judgement" in scriptures, we think about the last day, the end of the world, when all men shall be judged. This is not always the case. The judgement referred to here is not the last day but a day when your words will manifest or materialise. And this can happen any day, while you are alive or dead.
When you keep talking about fear, sickness, defeat, they materialise as your judgement. And it’s not God that judged you, you just sentenced yourself. In the same way, when as a believer in Christ, you speak life, health and grace, you will see all these come to pass.
So, we must be conscious of what we say, but most importantly, what we have in our hearts. We will continue from here next week.
