PARABLES OF THE POWER OF WORDS
My Dear Precious Child,
The disciples of Jesus Christ were always conscious of the Pharisees' attitudes toward the words of Jesus. They often commented to Jesus about it, especially the time that Jesus had said that it's not what goes in the mouth of a person that makes him or her unclean, but it's what comes out of the mouth that makes him or her unclean. The disciples commented that the Pharisees were shocked at that comment because of their emphasis on dietary restrictions in the religious Law being necessary for righteousness.
Jesus replied to His disciples that any plant that I have not planted will be pulled up by the roots. He instructed His disciples to leave the Pharisees alone, that they were blind men leading blind men, and if one blind man leads another blind man, then they both will fall into a pit.
Peter was confused and asked Jesus to explain the parable more fully to the disciples. Jesus was concerned that even Peter did not understand what Jesus was saying, to which Jesus replied that whatever goes into the mouth of a person passes through the stomach and is discharged into the sewer. However, He said, whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart and it is those things that make a person unclean. He gave examples of evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury, slander and others, that those are the things that make a person unclean. Then He proclaimed that eating with unclean hands does not make a person unclean. (Matthew 15:10-20) The Pharisees had also complained to Jesus about His disciples' habit of eating without washing their hands. Jesus replied to those politicians that it's evil words that make a person unclean.
Earlier Jesus had also taught about the power of words. After the Pharisees had accused Jesus Christ of casting out demons through the power of Beelzebub, the prince of devils, Jesus said that every sin and blasphemy would be forgiven people but blasphemy against My Holy Spirit would not be forgiven. He said that anyone who speaks against Himself will be forgiven, but that anyone who speaks against My Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, neither in this world nor the next.
He told the Pharisees that if a tree is sound that its fruit will be sound but if a tree is rotten that its fruit will be rotten, and that the condition of a tree can be known by its fruit. In other words, what comes out of the mouth of a person in words shows what is in the heart of the person. He had called the political Pharisees a brood of vipers and asked how can their speech be good when they were evil, because the words that flow out of a man's mouth is an overflow of what fills his heart.
Jesus said that a good man draws good things out of his storehouse of goodness in his heart; but that a bad man draws bad things from his storehouse of evil in his heart. He said that on the day that demons were to be judged in the near future, referring to the day of judgment of evil when My covenant of the Holy Spirit replaced the covenant of religious Law, He said that the Pharisees would find that every offensive word that a person utters, for those words the person would have to answer in the new covenant; since it is by his own words that a person is acquitted and by his own words he is condemned. (Matthew 12:33)
Again Jesus was teaching about My kingdom of heaven and when it would come into the earth when My children became born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit. Before He was crucified Jesus Christ taught His disciples that when My Holy Spirit came to earth to live inside of My children of promise that He would reveal the origin of sin as being the devil and the origin of righteousness as being from Me, and He would reveal that they would have the power to discern evil and execute judgment upon the demons and send them to hell.(John 16:8-11; Matthew 13:36-42)
What comes out of the mouth of a person in words reveals the state of the person's heart. By a person's spoken words, My children who are born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit know which demons reside in the heart of a person. With that revelation, My children of promise can use the power of My Holy Spirit in their being born of My Holy Spirit to cast the demons out of a person and into the abyss of hell if the person is willing to let the demons go.
By a person's words he or she is identified as being My child or by the person's words he or she is identified as harboring evil in his or her heart, thus being motivated by demons.
You must discern evil spirits operating in the life of a person by his or her words or you will bind yourself to evil in the name of politics or judgmental religion, just as Jesus Christ said about the Pharisees. If you do bind yourself to them, their words will become your words and you will be open to the devil's condemnation because of the evil that is revealed in your speech. You will have negated the teaching of Jesus Christ and be judged by your own words.
When My kingdom of heaven comes to live inside of My children by their being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit, the first thing He purifies in My children are the words that they speak, making the person's thoughts, attitudes, words and actions clean, showing that My kingdom of heaven is their new country of origin because My Holy Spirit lives inside of them. (John 20:19-23; Acts 2:1-4)
My righteous children speak love words which come from a pure heart. (Proverbs 4:20-23)
