But blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.ģ2 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.ģ3 "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit."ģ4 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.ģ5 Good people bring good things out of the good stored up in them, and evil people bring evil things out of the evil stored up in them.ģ6 But I tell you that people will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.ģ7 "For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."ģ8 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."ģ9 He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah."Ĥ0 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.Ĥ1 The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.Ģ7 And if I drive out the demons by Beelzebub, by whose do your sons drive them out? For this reason they shall be your judges.Ģ8 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
This is the only way to being the good man who brings out the good things stored up in them.27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.Ģ8 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.Ģ9 "Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions without first tying up the strong man? Then his house can be plundered."ģ0 "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."ģ1 And so I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy. You have to be very intentional about spending time in the Bible. And this is achieved by committing scripture verses or passages to memory.īut before you store God’s word in your heart, you have to spend time in the same. Therefore, if you store God’s Word in your heart, then your mouth will speak God’s Word ( Psalm 119:11). They think and are so deceived, that their words are disconnected from the contents of their hearts. However, unfortunately, many people don’t realize this. This is because what we are going through (for example, hardship) and what we store (for example, bitterness) in our hearts is what affects our speech. They are a revelation of what our hearts contain. No wonder Jesus declared that “it is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean, but what comes out of him” (Matthew 15:11).Ĭonsequently, impulsive decisions and foolish words come out of our mouths as a result of pressure and haste respectively. Consequently, it is the tongue that sets the body on fire. Therefore, it is out of the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks. That it is “the healthy tree will bear good fruit” (Matthew 7:17). In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus taught that “prophets would be identified by their fruits”. His words reveal his heart – the conditions and attitudes that are in his heart. And both men do this through their words. “A good”, reads Luke 6:45, “brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart and an evil man the evil stored up in his heart”. Luke 6:45 Devotional A good man brings good things
