Luke 6:45
"The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out
of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.”
The heart is a metaphor of the soul. A man's soul can be seen in His words. Do you want to know
if a soul is evil, listen to the words that come from a man's mouth. One can discern if a man is lustful
by listening to his words. If the man is ruled by anger in his soul, his words will reveal it. Rebellion,
covetousness, jealousy, pride, envy, and every evil characteristic of the soul of a man is exhibited
in a man's speech.
The righteous man is also known by his words. You can discern whether a man is pure in heart,
whether he is loving, merciful, patient, longsuffering, humble, and selfless by observing his
conversation. Surely a man's soul is revealed through his words.
As the Father directed me to contemplate these things, He revealed to me the relationship of the
Spirit and the Son to Himself through the parable of speech. Every created thing was crafted with
masterful design to show forth hidden mysteries of the kingdom of God. Yahweh has revealed the
Trinity through the miracle of speech.
Every word begins with a thought in the mind of man. The thought is made visible as a man exhales
air from his lungs and shapes identifiable sounds as the air passes over the vocal chords. These
sounds exit the man as words, and the words reveal the hidden things inside the soul of man.
Yahweh the Father is Spirit. No one has seen the Father at any time. The apostle John shared the
following words of inspiration with the saints.
John 1:18
No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son, or the only begotten God, Who is in
the bosom [in the intimate presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and
brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He has made Him known].
(Amplified Bible)
God wanted to make Himself known to the creation. Yet a physical creation cannot see that which
exists in Spirit alone. Yahweh had to do something to reveal Himself even as a man must do
something to make the thoughts of his mind known to others. Yahweh formed a Word.
John 1:14
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only
begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Yahweh exhaled His Spirit and formed a Word. It was a perfect Word that fully revealed Himself.
This Word became flesh so that mankind could perceive it. The Word is the Son of God. The Son
has perfectly declared, manifested, and made known the Father.
