What Goes In Will Come Out
Matthew 12:33-35 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. (34) O generation of vipers,
how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh. (35) 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. (KJV)
You want to know what is really going on
in a person’s life, well just listen to what comes out of their mouth and
it will tell you all that you need to know. This is especially true for the
believers in Christ, those that have their Spiritual senses exercised so
that they can know the difference between what is good, or good doctrine,
and what is evil and not of God. Listening to those of the world is a dead
giveaway because they actually boast about where they have set their
affection, which is in this fallen realm. However, if one listens closely,
our Lord warned us about the many false prophets that would rise up and
deceive not just a few, but many of the Lord’s own people. If one is truly
listening with their Spiritual ears they will be able to tell the
difference between what is of God and what is of man’s own self serving
doctrines.
1 John 4:3-6 And every spirit that
confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and
this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should
come; and even now already is it in the world. (4) Ye are of God, little
children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world. (5) They are of the world: therefore speak
they of the world, and the world heareth them. (6) We are of God: he that
knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know
we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. (KJV)
It’s actually easy to tell the difference
between the two realms because those that are called of the Lord will be
speaking and teaching the doctrine which points to the Spiritual realm.
Those that are of this world, even though they profess they are of God,
have limited themselves to what they consider blessings which are limited
to the financial arena. Of course, another way they manifest themselves is
by watching them around the time of man’s holidays, which rather than
coming out and being separate from what man says is a special time of year
they instead throw a few scriptures in and are no different than the world
and its fallen realm.
Ephesians 1:3-7 Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (4) According as he hath chosen us
in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and
without blame before him in love: (5) Having predestinated us unto the
adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his will, (6) To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein
he hath made us accepted in the beloved. (7) In whom we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his
grace; (KJV)
If you are being pointed in any other
direction other than the things that pertain to the Spiritual realm then if
I were you I would consider pointing myself toward the exit, ASAP. If you
are not partaking of all the Spiritual blessings that are in Christ then
you are not in the place that you need to be in, but are still stuck in
this fallen realm with other fallen people whose speech and teaching will
be a dead give away to what they have allowed into their heart.
Matthew 4:8-11 Again, the devil taketh
him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of
the world, and the glory of them; (9) And saith unto him, All these things
will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. (10) Then saith
Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (11) Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels
came and ministered unto him. (KJV)
Hundred fold returns, money cometh, or
any other gimmick did not come from our Lord, but rather another source
which tried to detour Him from the true Spiritual blessings that are
available in Christ. What man calls a successful church or religious
organization falls under the category of the kingdoms of this world and the
glory of them, which may look great to the outward but inwardly it is an
abomination to the Lord.
2 Peter 2:18-21 For when they speak great
swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh,
through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live
in error. (19) While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the
servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he
brought in bondage. (20) For if after they have escaped the pollutions of
the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they
are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with
them than the beginning. (21) For it had been better for them not to have
known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn
from the holy commandment delivered unto them. (KJV)
You need to realize that these scriptures
are not written for those outside of the kingdom of God, but rather
warnings to those that have ears to hear. Stop, listen and let the Lord
show you what is of His realm and what is not. You may be surprised by what
you hear because basically, what goes in will come out. Are you listening
so that you won’t let what went into the heart of man come out of you also,
especially if it is not something that pertains to the kingdom of God?
