Romans 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim)…
The Word is near you
In your mouth
In your heart
The word is near you in your mouth
In your mouth?
In YOUR mouth?
Yes, in your mouth, the mouth that spits, chews, the mouth that bites, consumes
In YOUR mouth?
The mouth that gossips, curses, swears, lies, THAT mouth?
Yes, the word is near you, in your mouth
Ezekiel, Ezekiel, eat this scroll
Eat this scroll and tell me what you taste.
Is it hate, spite, bitterness, intolerance?
No, the word is in my mouth and it tastes sweeter than honey
The Word is Jesus, in your mouth and
He
Must
Be
There.
He is there among the gossip, venom, spit and anger.
It is the Word that is there to forgive, to love, to change
He is there because he has to be…
He is there to be Confessed, Consumed and to Save
The Word is near you
In your mouth
In your heart
The Word is near you in your heart.
In your heart?
In YOUR heart?
You know the darkness in your heart
You know the evil that lurks in the depths of your heart
You know what is in the deep places that no one knows
The word is in your heart?
From out of the heart comes all manner of evil things
Lust, greed, hate, pride, darkness, bitterness, envy
The word is near you, in your heart
He
Has
To
Be.
The Word is Jesus and he has to be in the midst of the filth
In the midst of the darkness and the sin
If he’s not there, there’s no hope
No hope
The Lord, The Word, Jesus is in your heart
The heart that is the holder of faith
The faith that rescues
The word that cleanses
The Word in your heart, Jesus
Is life everlasting
The Word is near you
Jesus is near you
He is in your mouth
He is in your heart.
