Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
What are you reading? Leaders are readers and leaders are readers.... Matthew 12: 34 which affects our thinking, our words reflecting what's in our hearts.

Hey everyone, I'm back. My name is Tonya Lee Carey with Faith Base and I'm the founder of God's Freedom Fighters International and tis the season to be merry and many people are like, get me into 2024. I just wanna share a quick word in regards to the quote, readers are leaders and leaders are readers. The question is, what are you reading? As we think so are we. Much of what we are thinking, okay, before it comes out of our mouth, it goes into our heart and comes out of our mouth. So it starts with in our mind, okay, and then when it comes out of our mouth, it's already in our heart. And I just wanna share a book. Now, the book don't have to cover because it's from the 1990s. It was given to me from a 90 plus year old evangelist woman of God. And I literally tore the book apart. And then I went and got another book. We're talking about in the 90s. And then this book, it was small and the peeling start coming off. And then I got another, the same book, Oswald Chambers, The Upmost to His Highest. This is some meat and what I wanna share real quick is many times if there's something that you don't understand, much of the Bible, if you don't understand it, doesn't mean you just put it to a side. It just means we gotta keep reading and keep reading so it can go down inside us. And we pray first, Lord, help me to understand what I'm reading. We don't just keep reading and not understanding nothing, even if it's just a word. Thank you, Lord. As we think so are we, the word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. So I went through this book the other day and the peeling was coming off. And I mean, this book is like raggedy. I looked at the date inside, because I write in my books, it's like 12, 13 years old. And then I got a new book with the journal. I am like really into the depth of Oswald Chamber and to go deep, you have to first swim on top. You have to first learn how to swim before you can go to the deeper end. Oh, glory be to God. So out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speak. So if you speaking something that's already in your heart and you keep saying the same thing, beware, especially if it's not the word of God that brings hope and love and joy. Then you've been thinking it constantly, whatever it is. If it's constantly negative, then it's gonna eventually get to your heart and you're gonna keep repeating it. And then you're gonna attract the same type of people that speak the same way. And you're gonna have issues with people like me, because I'm all about hope. I love Jesus. I'm joy to the world of his highest. Until next time, my name is Tanya Lee Carey. I love you. And there's nothing you can do about it. Peace.
