The Word In Your Mouth And Heart

The word belongs in two places in your mouth and in your heart.  Because whatever gets into your heart and mouth will make it's way into your life.  Jesus said it this way, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."  Because your heart and mouth are doorways for things to come into your life and also out of your life.  Because Jesus also said, "For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith(in your heart) as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible unto you."  That mountain can represent a problem in your life.  Notice in both of those scriptures your heart and mouth are involved.  Notice what Jesus said in Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."  What door is he knocking at, the door of your heart(spirit).  Jesus (the word) wants to come into your heart, so there is a door of your heart.  But, also notice what David said in Psalm 141:3, "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips."  So there is also a door of your mouth.  Notice a door serves two purpose as an entrance and an exit.  So things are coming into and out of your life when you know how to work your mouth and heart together.  I believe David tapped into that when he said, "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer."  But, notice the heart and mouth working together.

The door of your heart is a doorway into your spirit and once something is in your spirit and you open the door of your mouth that thing is released into your life.  Jesus said that this way, "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."  Take salvation for instance, with your heart you believe and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  You work your heart and mouth together  and salvation shows up in your life.  It's with the heart you believe and with the mouth you speak.  So, it's not just speaking and it's not just believing, but both working together.  When the word enters you it first works on you (renewing the mind and bringing faith to your heart) and after it works on you now it's ready to be released into your life and work on your situations.  So, any word of God that you can get in your heart and speak out of your mouth will make it's way into your life.  Let's take Mary for instance an angel brought Mary a word "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS."  And Mary believed that word and not just believed, but she also spoke, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word."  And Jesus showed up and we can live according to the words she believed and spoke.  When that outside word became an inside word and she spoke it Jesus came in the earth.  How about the woman with the issue of blood she heard about Jesus and according to what she heard she said, "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole."  And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.  And Jesus said, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole."  So by her heart and mouth working together healing came into her life.  So, if you have a situation in your life put the word in your mouth and heart and keep it there and watch the word work (Hebrews 6:12 Isaiah 55:11).
