Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from troubles...proverbs 21:23kjv. This manuscript is written with the objective to teach believers that defilement not only comes from acts of sexual impropriety or perversion, but also from the mouth. All sin originates in the heart. In the light of God's word defiled believers must examine themselves and repent, laying aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily besets them. Matthew 15:11kjv. Not only that which goes into mouth defileth a man but which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man (17) Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly and is cast out into the draught. (it is eliminated..waste. Waste leaves your body, if waste is not eliminated it would enter your blood stream, become toxic and you would die). (18)But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart and they defile the man. (19) For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. Jeremiah 17:9kjv declares The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it? (verse17:19) I, the Lord search the heart, try the reins, (mind, thoughts). This is the reason we are urged by "The Preacher", King Solomon in the book of proverbs 4:23: To keep our heart with all diligence - for out it are the issues of life. Saints of God are to be careful, alert and sensitive to what governs (rules or dictates) their mind, emotions and will, because what is being compiled, sown, or nurtured in the imagination, spirit or emotions will produce fruit. We are instructed to bring forth fruit worthy of repentance Luke 3:8. Even though God shows mercy on whom he will and blesses the just and unjust, there is a reward for practicing righteousness in passing the time of our Christian pilgrimage (I, the Lord search the heart (mind) even to give to every man according to the fruit of his doings. Jeremiah 9:17kjv Women in particular ought to be careful of what they nurture. We are created to procreate and nurture. Whatever we are incubating in the Spirit we shall surely give birth to. What are you nurturing? Grudges, un-forgiveness, hatred, bitterness, envy, scoffing, gossiping, boastings, rage? If these seeds are being sown and nurtured (fed) in our hearts they will produce unfruitful and evil works. Matthew 12:36 Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment (3) for by thy words thou shall be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned) Remember the heart knoweth it's own bitterness (proverbs 14:10) Listed on the following pages are practices most common among believers in the body of Christ, and some of the greatest hindrances to a victorious and rewarding walk in Christ. We have been given a precious gift from God, the Holy Spirit, who is sometimes referred to as our Comforter and our Guide to lead us into all truth. With complete reliance on the Holy Spirit and following his lead we can overcome whatever our spiritual anomaly and be victorious in our walk with Christ. IF WE WOULD TRULY ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE DISCIPLINED IN CHRISTIANITY WHAT A GLORIOUS CHURCH!
