Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

That which is hidden in our heart will come out our mouth at some point in time and by that which man speaks we know what he is.

 

Recently I had an appointment with a new eye doctor:  Three times during that appointment this doctor mentioned "cocktail hours".  I could tell he very much liked drinking.  Once he mentioned how much money those eye surgeons make.  (I could tell what was in his heart by that which came out of his mouth.)

 

An exterminator came to do some work at our house.  He said, "You can always pray that the mice will go to the house of a neighbor that you hate."  I replied:  "I don't hate any of my neighbors."  Later he began talking about being a Christian and he even tried to tell me that each summer he does ministry work with a friend in various cities. (But I was warned about this man by that which he said about the neighbors. He has some evil in his heart.)

 

Shortly after we purchased a new car, we had some problems with the car and had to take it back to the dealer for modifications.  One of Pam's neighbors learned of this and she said, "You should make that dealer give you another new car."  (I knew God was warning me about the trouble this woman would bring to those who allowed her to be around them.)

Jesus said:

 

Matthew 12

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 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.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

But we are warned by that which comes out of their mouth. 

 

And we are warned also by those words that come from our own mouths, for if we find ourselves speaking evil, then evil has gotten into our hearts.

 

For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

(Matthew 12)

 

If this happens to us, we can pray as David prayed:

 

Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

We can know what is in another person if we will listen to what that person says.

 

Matthew 10:16  Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Matthew 7:16  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

 

Pay attention to that which they speak, to that which they desire, to that which excites them.  

 

They will reveal the truth of what they are by their words and by that spirit which comes forth from them.

 

Do not allow yourselves to be deceived by another person for deception will be rampant in the end time days.  You will know them by the words they speak.  You will know what is in their hearts by the words which come from their mouths.

Matthew 10:26  Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

 

I never look for evil, but when it comes forth I usually recognize that evil which I have heard from their mouths.  Therefore I am warned by God.
