*The "Defiled Heart" revealed through spoken words and behaviour*
Jesus said, “And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak” (Matthew 12:36).
Our words determine where our hearts are. Jesus also said, “What you say flows from what is in your heart” (Luke 6:45). If your heart is hard, then it will show by what you say. If you are bitter, then you will find yourself talking about it, because bitter people love to spread it around.
All evil that defiles a person come from the heart. If the can't be temple of God then it temple of all things that defiles, from the temple of demons
(Mk 7:21-23) "21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
(Mtt 15:19-20) "19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20 These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”
If your heart is filled with bitterness, then it will come out in your words. And if your heart is filled with lust, that will come out in your words as well.
But if you have a heart that is filled with *grace* and *love* and wisdom from God's Word, that, too, will come out. And that should be the goal of every believer.
Repent and ask God to give you a new heart that will speak words of grace, love and life.
