YOUR WORDS ARE YOUR PERSON – Pastor Chris
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh (Luke 6:45).
Did you know that the best part of your personality is your words? The greatest gift given to us naturally by God is the ability to talk. That’s because your words are your person; your words are you. The character of your words is the character of your personality. You’re not different from your words. If your spirit is excellent, your words will be.
In emphasizing this, the Lord Jesus said, “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit…for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things” (Matthew 12:33-35). Notice what the Lord said; the words that come out of you are from your heart, from your spirit. And your spirit is the real you.
Proverbs 23:7 says, “as he thinks in his heart so is he.” In other words, you’re not different from your thoughts and words are thoughts clothed with vocabulary. So, your life as it is today is the image of what your words created months or years ago. And your life in the next few months or years is what you create now with your words. That’s how important words are.
PRAYER
Righteous Father, I thank you for the gift of speech and the ability to manifest your grace through my words. My words are filled with wisdom as they spring forth from the treasures of your Kingdom in my heart. I speak excellence, purity and truth. My words reveal your righteousness, shaping my glorious life and destiny in you. Amen.

Proverbs 16:23-24 (NIV) The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction.[a] 24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Matthew 12:33-35 (NIV) “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. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
