Mouth!!#10

So when we get right down to the nitty gritty of things why does what comes out of our mouths defile us before God? Well I am glad you asked!!!! Read this:

Matthew 15:11-18
11 it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” 12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” 13 He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” 15 But Peter said to him, “Explain the parable to us.” 16 And he said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled? 18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.

It is simple isn't it? You see what comes out of our mouths is what is in our hearts! So when sinful things come from our mouths it means there is sin in our hearts that needs to be removed! Heart surgery! The great Physician is ready to remove that sin. All we have to do is ask Him to do so, and He will! Then we follow Him in obedience for the rest of our days! 

So let us think about this today....those hateful words, gossip, the Lord's name used in vain, lying, crude jokes, sexual talk, and what ever else you want to throw in there that you know is sin. Is any of this coming from your mouth? If it is it means it is in your heart and needs to be removed immediately! God will remove it if you bring it before Him, but you must be willing to surrender the sin to Him!

I pray your mouth is not defiling you but if it is our merciful Lord can heal your mouth by fixing your heart! Ask Him today! If you need help I would be glad to just ask! 

I love all of you in the Lord, God bless!
