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).

Let The Prince Of Peace Come In

The Prince of Peace wants to come in and give you peace, he wants to calm every fear and heal every hurt.  And he has a system for doing exactly that.  His word is the means of bringing you peace.  James 1:21 says, "To receive with meekness the engrafted word, which has the power to save your soul."  The engrafted word, which has the idea that you are going to have to put the word on the inside of you.  The word of God is the sword of the spirit and with it you cut the roots which in turn will kill the fruit  (fear, worry, anxiety, hurt).  And the word is not only the sword of the spirit, but it is also seed.  So by planting the word in you then you start a new root system which in turn produces different fruit (peace, joy, love).  The weapons of our warefare are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2Corinthians 10:4,5).  One of those weapons is the word of God, for it is quick(alive) and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).  The word is anointed and when that word gets on the inside of you then the anointing will remove the burden and destroy the yoke (Isaiah 10:27). 

Paul in Romans 10:8 says, "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:  that is the word of faith which we preach."  That's how you get it on the inside of you, by your mouth.  Some people don't know the effect words have on them, but Proverbs 21:23 says, "Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles."  And what word is better to keep your soul from troubles than the word of God.  It has the ability to bring every thought to the obedience of Christ(the anointed one).  The anointing is the burden removing, yoke destroying power of God.  Notice 2Corinthians 10:4,5 shows the progression, first the thought, then the fear or worry, then the imagination, then the stronghold.  A stronghold is when something is so fixed in your mind and it has just that on you a stronghold.  But thank God there's something stronger, the anointing.  And the anointing goes to the root and cuts it off.  And once the roots are cut then the fruit have to die.  Jesus is the word made flesh (John 1:14).  God and his word are one (John 1:1).  So when you let the word in then you let them in and there's nothing to hard for the Lord.  So no matter how fearful, worried, or hurt you may be let the Prince of Peace come in.

That Problem Must Go

You might be going through a tough time right now, but let me just tell you that problem can't stand against your answer. Your answer is found in the word of God. What is the word of God, it's God speaking to you. It's God informing you of what He has spoken concerning your problem, that's your answer. Understand this, God has already spoken your answer not your problem. And there's no problem that can stand against the word of God. Your answer is much more powerful than your problem. Notice Romans 8:2 says, "For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." Notice the law of life makes you free from the law of death. What is death, it's the absence of life. Do you remember in Ezekiel 37 when he said the hand of the Lord carried him out in the spirit of the Lord and set him down in the midst of the valley of dry bones and God asked him, "Son of man can these bones live". Notice what God said to him, "Prophesy unpon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord". Notice what God was doing, having him speak life into those dead bones because He said in Johnn 6:63, that his word is life. Don't let dead situations hang around you without speaking life into them. God has already told you that death and life are in the power of the tongue. So speak life into that dead situation and the life of the word will cause that situation to change. Speak the word from your heart not just out of your head. Because it's a natural process, when the word is in your heart it will come out of your mouth and that's when things change (Matthew 12:34,35).

The Blood

The
blood of Jesus has made his people victorious in life. You are not just some victim of circumstances. You have something to say about the circumstances in your life. By the blood of Jesus you can reign in life by the abundance of grace that came by Jesus Christ. By the blood of Jesus we have been made kings and priests. So, according to Deuteronomy 21:5 at the word of the priest every controversy shall be settled. Which means you may be in a unfavorable situation, but you don't have to let it dictate to you what will be. But, you have to be careful not to let your words just agree with the situations in life, but line your words with God's and establish his word in your life. The word also says by the blood of Jesus we were raised and made to sit with Jesus in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 2:6). Which means just as God raised him up and put all things under his feet they are also under us through Jesus (Ephesians 1:22). God put you in a position of authority and he wants you to use it. And you use that authority by the words of your mouth. That's why you line your words with God's word and not the circumstances because you are the priest with the authority of Jesus. And as a priest you have been authorized to bless in the name of the Lord (Deuteronomy 21:5). So, if you are in a tight situation speak words of life and speak blessings and not curses. In 1Peter 3:10 it says, if you want to see good keep your mouth from speaking evil. That's why you don't just line your words up with the circumstances, but with the word of God because that is what you desire to see. The blood of Jesus has put you over the circumstances of life so don't let them rule you exercise your authority in the name of Jesus.

Medicine Is In Your Mouth

One of the most important things people overlook in dealing with sickness is what they speak out of their mouth.  You can't just speak anything because your words have an effect on your body.  In the book of James he says, if you offend not in word, you are able to bridle your whole body.  He also goes on to say your tongue is like the rudder of a ship, so if you want to go from sickness to healing then you are going to have to set your tongue to healing and not sickness.  In 1Peter 3:10 he says, if you want to see good keep your tongue from evil.  That's a principle so you could also say, if you want to see healing keep your tongue from sickness.  And the best way to do that is to put God's word in your mouth concerning your healing.  Because Proverbs 4:22 says, God's word is health(medicine) to all your flesh. God's word in your mouth is medicine to all your flesh. 
Now somebody might be saying prove that with the word, remember Abraham and his wife Sarah the scripture says, he was old and his body was dead(not functioning in a manner to have a son) and his wife Sarah was barren, but God said they would have a son together and that Abraham's seed would be as numerous as the stars in the sky.  How did God change their bodies to carry out what He spoke, He changed their names.  He gave them something to say that was in line with what He spoke.  Abraham means-Father of a multitude and Sarah means-Princess of the multitude.  Notice what Psalm 103:5 says, He satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.  Notice that scripture doesn't say He satisfies you.  He gives you something to say to change your body. 
Somebody may be saying, yes, but I need a miracle, well in Luke 1 the angel came to Mary, a virgin, and told her she was going to have a son and they talked for a little while, but notice that angel didn't depart until Mary spoke in line with what he said, "Be it unto me according to thy word". It wasn't until Mary spoke that the miracle took place.  Now, you can't deny that the word has a lot to say about your words having an effect on your body.  Especially God's word and some say they don't believe in speaking God's word when the Bible says, it is powerful and has the power to save.  That word save in the greek also means heal.  That's why the word is medicine, because there's healing power in the word of God.  So, I encourage you to see what the word has to say about your healing like-"By whose stripes ye were healed" 1Peter 2:24, or "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law" Galatians 3:13, or Himself took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses (you have to make it personal).  And put your hope and faith in what  God says and don't give up it is going to take time.  But, you have to start somewhere.

The Unseen Force Of Faith

The tittle may sound a little strange, but that's how I want you to view faith.  Not just something cute that you keep in your heart, but a force.  A force is defined as- Capacity to do work or cause physical change; strength; power.  I like that, cause physical change.  Let me tell you where I got the tittle, I was watching television one day and I happened to come upon a compass.  So, I picked it up and started to move around the room with it and as I moved that compass moved.  And the Holy Spirit quickened my mind, there is a force in the earth called a magnetic field.  That force is unseen, but it causes something to happen in the seen and that's how faith is.  An unseen force causes that compass to move.  That gave me greater understanding of what Jesus said, "Because of your unbelief:  for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith 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." Let's break this scripture down, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed", now some people say the size of a mustard seed, I don't have a problem with that, but let's look at something else about a seed, if it's not released out of the ground it will not produce anything in the earth.  Notice Jesus said, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say" that's how you release it.  Jesus said it this way, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh".  It's the faith that's released that moves mountains and causes physical change.
Now let's go a little deeper, your faith should be based on the word of God.  Paul calls it the word of faith. That means you could say, If ye have the word of God as a mustard seed... . The word of God is designed to change things.  The word of God is the original force of all forces.  What you see was made of things you can't see, the word.  Notice things that are unseen caused things that are seen to change.  And we are made in God's image and likeness.  We are a spirit just as God is a spirit.  So, if we learn how to operate from our spirit we can cause things to change in the natural.  That's what Jesus demonstrated over and over again.  He spoke to the wind and sea and his words of faith calmed the storm.  He spoke to a tree and it dried up from the roots and then he said to his disciples that if they had faith they could do the same thing, change things in the physical by operating out of their spirit and so can we.  That's why one of the worst things a child of God can do is to wait for things to change and get better.  No, take the word of God and make things get better.  God said, his word would not return to him void, but accomplish that which He pleases.  God has honored us to be able to release that force on our behalf.  So, once again that force is released in the earth now by us.

Amazing Grace

God's grace is amazing. All that Jesus did through his death, burial, and resurrection was for your benefit. All that he did was for you to have access to the grace of God. God has extended his grace to you and it's up to you to receive it by faith. Romans 5:1,2 says we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ and by him also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand. It's in your hands to receive the grace of God by faith. Romans 4:16 says, "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace", you see God has already provided you with his grace, but you can only access it by faith. God has already provided all your needs. He has already "given you all things that pertain unto life and godliness" (2Peter 1:3). God has already "blessed you with all spiritual blessings" (Ephesians 1:3). God has already "delivered you from the kingdom of darkness" (Colossians 1). Notice all of those things are in the past tense. Things may not appear to be that way, but God knows what was accomplished through our Lord Jesus and we need to know. Because the more knowledge you have of God's grace the more it is multiplied to you (2Peter 1:2).

Just as people have a physical bank account, you have a spiritual account. And the moment you became a member of the house of God(Ephesians 2:19) all of God's grace was put into your account, The scripture says, all things are yours and you are Christ's and Christ is God's (1Corinthians 3:21-23). Remember in the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15 when the prodigal son returned and the father had a party for him and the other son came and heard the noise and asked what was happening and they told him that his brother has come home and his father came out and asked him to come in and he answered his father all these years I have served thee and you would not even give me a kid that I might have a party with my friends and the father answered, "Son thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine." Notice the father already considered it his, but as long as he waited for the father to give him what was already his he went without. And a lot of times people are waiting for God to give what He already said is theirs.

Do you remember Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). And on the cross Jesus himself said, "It is finished" before he died. So the abundant life is finished, you might not see it present, but it is finished. Now you have to receive it by faith. That's why we have to walk by faith and not by sight (2Corinthian 5:7). As with any other account you get a statement of what's in your account and that's what the Bible does, it tells you what is in your account. All the finished work of Jesus is in your account -healing (1Peter 2:24), deliverance (Colossians 1:13), all of your needs (2Peter 1:3). Now you have to learn how to withdraw what is in it. You withdraw from your spiritual account by faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1), in other words faith gives physical substance to spiritual things. With your heart you believe and with the mouth confession is made unto it (Romans 10:10). In 2Corinthians 4:13 it says, when you have the spirit of faith you will speak what you believe. When you have faith and speak then you release the substance of it for it to come into this natural physical world. We access God's grace by faith.
