St Matthew, Chapter 12, verse: 36 - 37, Thy words: Justification or Condemnation.

Our paragraph topic is:  (Blasphemy against the Spirit not forgiven)
Part 6.  

The abundance of the heart.  Such a small physical organ with such a large weight towards judgment.  Christ spoke the mystery to the Pharisees.  He spoke the mystery to the demons that possessed the Pharisees for they knew that the heart was the prize.  For with the possession of the heart the soul is won.  With the invasion of darkness into the heart the mind follows the passions expressed in the heart.  With the possession of the heart the man is branded and becomes a soldier of evil.  Evil becomes him.  He seek evil to perform.  Evil is his sport.  Evil is his design.  Evil is his message and he seeks others to recruit to evil.  Together they will perform the mission of the evil one.

The next organ is the mouth.  For from the heart the mouth speaks.  From the heart through the mouth, evil comes forth.  From the heart through the mouth, converts are made.  And from the heart through the mouth, the evil whispered in the mind is spoken into reality, evil is born.  So Christ tells his disciples, the Pharisees, and even as a message to the readers of today that every idle word that comes forth from the mouth will be judged.   He says, "But I tell you, that of every idle word men speak, they shall give account on the day of judgment."   

Pharisees be warned, he says.  For you have brought the curse upon yourselves and your mind now conjures up idle words to speak.  Be careful what idle words you speak.  Be careful of what words are spoken.  Be careful that you do not speak against yourself, for your words will be your judge and your jury on the day of judgment.  Thoughts can be changed.  Ideas can be created.  Beliefs can take hold.  But words spoken, are written forever into time immemorial and cannot be changed.  For they speak through the mouth and come from the treasure of the heart.   Words spoken tell of the spirit of the person which is in the heart.   And Christ tells them the reason for caution in their spoken words.  He says,  "For by thy words thou wilt be justified, and by thy words thou wilt be condemned."  

And so we know about the words that we speak.  The mystery is revealed.  The truth has been spoken.  Out of the mouth the comes the abundance of the true nature of the heart.  Curse not.  Swear not.  Express anger not.  Lust not.  Condemn not.  For with what we speak out of the mouth, we will be judged by it.  We may condemn ourselves or we may justify ourselves.  Did you justify yourself today or did you condemn yourself?  Did you speak from your abundance of light in your heart or did you speak from your abundance of darkness, today?  Take account of what you speak daily.  For daily we fill our cups with the wrath of God by our own words.  Justify yourself.  Fill your heart with the words of your saviour and you will be able to speak his words of justice.  By doing so you will justify yourself.  Let his words become you.  If they do not become you, the test will prove the true nature of your heart.  Become one with him and he will be in you, he will be your treasure!
