WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART?

LUKE 6:45

"A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart,  and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.  What you say flows from what is in your heart."

What comes forth from your mouth, is it good or evil?  Are your thoughts of good or of evil?  Do you speak blessings or cursing?  An honorable and good man will have treasures stored up in his heart and what he says will flow from that treasury.  An evil man will have an evil storehouse in his heart which is intrinsically bad and he will produce evil things.  This evil will overflow from the wicked and depraved persons heart.  Good things will emanate from a good persons heart and be reflected in what they say and think.  In the computer age there is a saying, "garbage in garbage out."  You choose what you allow to enter your heart and mind!

A good tree produces good fruit, just as a bad tree produces bad fruit.  The same is true of people.  Good people and good hearts produce good thoughts and words.  Bad people and evil hearts produce bad fruit and bad thoughts and words.  It is almost impossible for a bad tree to produce good fruit and a good tree rarely produces evil or bad fruit.  What flows or grows depends on what is stored in the persons heart,  what is in their treasury?  It is easy to determine what kind of tree you are.  Listen to your words, what you say flows from the treasury in your heart.  If we play back a tape of you words for a day you can determine WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART!

We know that what flows from peoples hearts can be heard in their words.  It is easy to identify whether a person is good or evil by what have they said.  Are their words a blessing or a cursing?  The scriptures also tell us that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.  You can not hide what is in your heart.  You will say what you think.  As a man thinks in his heart, so is he!  People hear what you say and you can not hide what is in your heart, your words speak for themselves.  What comes out of your mouth emanates from your heart.  If you want to change from an evil heart to a good heart, there is only one way.  Open the door to your heart and let the Lord Jesus Christ come in and give you a new heart and a new life.  Ask God to make you a new person.  God knows WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART!
