This Scripture Hurt My Feelings 😬

Beware.. If you talk negative or anything you say, even occasionally is negative... you may want to avoid this post.

Jesus said in Matthew 12

“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt. For the tree is known by its fruit.

Ok fair enough... but it gets worse

34 O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

As soon as I read that, all I heard is... when I speak evil, about evil things or (wait... let's replace the word evil with bad... because no one would admit their words are evil, but we do talk about bad things... often) So when we speak bad... its a reflection of our heart. In this context the word heart is another word for thoughts or feelings... so our bad words are not simply us sharing about our day or complaining about a situation.. our bad words are coming out of our bad thoughts, our bad emotions... yes life can be bad... but the problem comes when we take that in and it produces fruit in us...

Out of the abundance of our thoughts and emotions the mouth speaks...

35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things. And an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

Jesus is saying that bad people, have bad treasure in their hearts... its not just a slip up or you had a bad day... if you are constantly complaining or even just complaining... you should take another look at your heart or thoughts and emotions, because they may be bad or in the words of Jesus... Evil.

Remember in Genesis 6:5 God said, "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

These were Nephelim... the offspring of the fallen angels and their thoughts were evil continually so God destroyed them. These are the beings that later became demons...

Ask yourself... How is my thought life? Is it demonic? Am I rehearsing the lies of the enemy? Remember your life is created by the words you say. Let me know in the comments what you think? Is this hitting you like it hit me? 👇
