How Important Is What You Believe and Speak?

(Prov.23:7) The GOD of the BIBLE said… “As a man ‘thinks’ in his heart so is he”.
WHAT YOU ‘BELIEVE’ IN YOUR ‘HEART’, MAKES YOU… YOU, and CREATES YOUR REALITY!! Someone said, “What you THINK about, you TALK about, and what you TALK about, You BRING about”! I want to speak with you about FAITH today. Specifically, YOUR FAITH!
In its simplest form, YOUR FAITH (as the Bible speaks of) is… WHAT YOU REALLY BELIEVE in the DEPTHS of YOUR HEART! FAITH is… TRUST, CONFIDENCE, BELIEF! We could say, ‘As a man ‘BELIEVES’ in his HEART so is he‘. Notice the Scripture doesn’t say, ‘As a man thinks in his ‘HEAD’ so is he‘!
In Romans 10:8-10 we see this principle in action concerning RECEIVING and MANIFESTING SALVATION in One’s life! In Mark 11:22-24 JESUS himself said, “YOU WILL HAVE,… WHATSOEVER… ‘YOU SAY’!!!”
(1) WHAT (WHATEVER) YOU BELIEVE… in YOUR HEART and
(2) WHATEVER YOU CONFESS (SPEAK) OUT of YOUR MOUTH,
(3) YOU WILL GET or have WHAT YOU BELIEVE and SAY! THAT will ABSOLUTELY MANIFEST IN YOUR LIFE – 100% of the time!!!
Many people do not realize that THIS IS A SPIRITUAL LAW, verified by God’s Word and IT OPERATES 24/7 in the POSITIVE or in the NEGATIVE in all people, whether THEY BELIEVE IT or NOT!!! Note: Both of these things (1) Believing in Your Heart and (2) Speaking the SAME out your mouth must be in force together… for this to happen. However because this is a Spiritual Law, it happens whether we Believe it or not! The Truth is, YOU and YOUR LIFE (in all of its aspects, ARE TODAY, the PRODUCT (the MANIFESTED REALITY) of WHAT YOU have been BELIEVING ABOUT YOURSELF – IN YOUR HEART and SPEAKING (CONSISTENTLY) with YOUR MOUTH!
It is not JUST… A SPIRITUAL LAW, IT IS the HIGHEST … of the SPIRITUAL LAWS! It is actually THE LAW of SOWING and REAPING! There is NO HIGHER LAW than this! You might think… how can this be? Well did you ever hear the old adage, “GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT”? Whatever ‘YOU ALLOW’ to go INTO Your HEART, you will soon be coming OUT of Your MOUTH and MANIFESTING as… REALITY… IN YOUR LIFE!
The Bible says, GUARD YOUR HEART, for OUT of IT spring the issues of LIFE “and that “Out of the ABUNDANCE of the HEART, the MOUTH SPEAKS”! So Child of God, BEWARE of WHAT YOU are ALLOWING INTO YOUR HEART!!! Someone said, “Well how does stuff get into my HEART? YOUR EYES and YOUR EARS are the PRIMARY DOORS to YOUR HEART! BE SELECTIVE of what YOU ALLOW YOURSELF to LOOK AT and to THINK ON!
PAY attention to the WORDS that YOU, your family, your friends, your business associates, and others are SAYING to YOU! BE AWARE of what you are listening to! What are the WORDS in the MUSIC, on the TV and on the INTERNET and in Magazines that you are feeding on? What do YOU ALLOW YOR EYES to LOOK AT? What kind of TV, Internet, and Movie Content are you allowing into your Heart! YOU NEED to REALIZE that ALL of this goes first into your head and then PLANTS in YOUR HEART!
Also, WATCH WHAT YOU SAY! Some people say, “Well, I didn’t really mean that, or I’m just joking! But IF YOU are ALWAYS SAYIN IT, IT is NOT just coming out of your HEAD, ITS coming OUT OF YOUR HEART! THAT IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE!!! Therefore, in your opinion, HOW IMPORTANT IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE and SPEAK?
The GOOD NEWS is: ‘YOU’ CAN CHANGE ALL ASPECTS of YOUR CURRENT REALITY by YOUR DECISIONS and CORRESPONDING ACTIONS!!!
(1) (II Cor.10:3-5) (Phil. 4:8) YOU DECIDE… WHAT YOU WILL ALLOW into Your HEART … through YOUR EYES and YOUR EARS and WHAT YOU WILL ALLOW Yourself to THINK ON
(2) PUT a GUARD on WHAT YOU WILL ALLOW YOURSELF to SPEAK OUT of YOUR MOUTH since you are going to get whatever you say. (Mk.11:23)
(3) Act on your Decisions (Jas.1:22)
God’s BEST to YOU, In JESUS NAME! Pastor Garth
