ÔÇ£Being Responsible for Your WordsÔÇØ





33 ÔÇ£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. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.ÔÇØ Matthew 12:33-37




In Matthew 12:33-37, Jesus is describing the process of the main fruit of our life, our words. He is using a tree as the example. A tree trunk, the bark, the limbs, nor the leaves make the tree. It is the roots that make the tree. The root determines the fruit. Jesus said that out of the abundance of our hearts, our words would come forth. I
t is what most in you that determines what you say is.

That is why we cannot have 10% word and 90% world and speak the word effectively. We are speaking spirits, created in the likeness and image of God. God changed His environment with His words. He spoke by faith the words of life and created what He desired.

This is why faith is not the greatest force in the universe, but your words. Faith, good or bad, will bring the words out and it is those words that determine your life. Adam had been given dominion over everything in the earthly realm that God had spoken into existence. He had the same ability that God had in this area, but he failed to use it to keep the order that God had created.

When we become a child of God, everything becomes new and in order, but it is our words that keep them that way. We have a responsibility to speak what God has planned for our lives because He has given us the dominion over the earthly realm. This is why Jesus said we have to say what heaven says. I believe that it is extremely important right now to make a check of our words. Doors are before us and it is our words that will open or close them. There are so many great things that God has for us, but we must declare a thing so it can be established for us.
