“A 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” (Luke 6:45).

You can locate your faith by your own words. Your words are your faith speaking.

Now, it’s good practice to consciously make a good confession about your circumstances. But if you want to find out where you really are in your faith walk—if you want to know why some things aren’t going right in your life—then listen to yourself talking when the pressure is on.

See what comes out of your mouth when you’re not making a conscious effort to speak something good. In other words, see what comes out of the abundance of your heart. Then you’ll know if you need to make some major adjustments.

It’s like a bank account. The bank sends you a statement each month. If you want them to add more to the final balance, what do you do? Put more money in the bank, and the next statement will show the difference.

It’s the same way spiritually. When you want something to show up in your outward man, deposit the treasures of God’s Word in the inward man. Feed on the Word continually.

Treat your inner man like a bank vault, and just keep putting deposits of God’s gold in there. Once the Word is deposited in your inner man, you’ll believe it. Then once you believe it, you’ll find yourself saying it. And once you start saying it, your entire being will reflect the treasure of His Word inside!
