David said, “I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel my heart also instructs me in the night season” (Psalms 16:7). Of the righteous man, it is said, “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night” (Psalm 1:2). Much of it takes place in the night, while we are on our beds, and our hearts are more receptive. It is not just about what He finds in you, but also about He removes from you, and what He fuses into you. When God visits you and examines your hearts, is not in order to condemn you, but to refine you. The Hebrew word for “tried” literally means to fuse, as a metal, and refers to a refining process, such as that of a goldsmith. So David says to the Lord, “You have tested my heart You have visited me in the night You have tried me and have found nothing I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.” Here is how other versions render it: With the heart, we believe with the mouth, we confess - and that greatly pleases God. The reason the heart/mouth connection is so important is because that is how faith works, and without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). ![]() For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ![]() Quoting from Deuteronomy 30:14, he says this:īut what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart ” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. The apostle Paul recognized the importance of the heart/mouth connection. ![]() Here, we see the heart represented by what we believe, and the mouth by what we say. Jesus also taught His disciples, “Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says” (Mark 11:23). Whatever is in your heart in abundance, that is what is going to come out of your mouth, especially when the heat is on. Jesus said that it is out of the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45). ![]() The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which is good and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which is evil for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak.There is a very important spiritual connection between your heart and your mouth. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.Ī 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. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.Ī 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 bringeth forth that which is evil. The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart.
