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
(Matthew 12:35).
Proverbs 4:23 parallels what the Lord Jesus said in the opening verse;
it says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of
life.” This is extraordinary! It means your spirit is a reservoir of good
things; you can bring forth anything you want from within you.
Imagine that you’ve always wanted to establish a certain kind of
business, but getting the capital has been a challenge; don’t wait for anyone
to bring the money to you; bring it forth from within you! The important thing
isn’t the capital you need for the business but what you can see in your heart!
Can you see the business? If you hold on to the picture of the business, you
don’t have to worry about how the capital will navigate to you, or who God
would use to make it happen.
Understand this: anything and everything that’s consistent with life and
godliness has already been given to you; it’s all in your spirit! The Bible
says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of
God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear”
(Hebrews 11:3).
Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in
Christ.” If He has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly
realms, it means that you already have every good thing that exists in the
spirit-realm; they’re in your spirit! Therefore, you can bring forth life from
within you. You can call forth your blessings. Halleluiah.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for the efficacy of your Word. As I
meditate on it today, my faith is built up. Thank you Lord for my heart is
filled with goodness by reason of your Word in me, and daily, as occasion
demands, I bring forth good things from my spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 4:23 NLT - Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.
2 Peter 1:2-4 NLT - May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. 3 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
