What’s in Your Heart Will Be Heard: The Prophetic Power of Words in the Last Days

“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 (KJV)

The Heart Speaks Louder Than the Mouth

In our digital age—when everyone has a platform and every opinion is posted—it’s easy to dismiss speech as mere noise. But Jesus says otherwise. What we say isn’t random. Our words are fruit from our spiritual root.

Every word, every rant, every confession, every boast, every complaint—these are not isolated slips. They are the overflow of the heart. And in a generation obsessed with self-expression, Jesus’ words in Luke 6:45 ring with prophetic clarity.

Your Words Are a Window to Your Soul

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
—Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)

This is not just poetic wisdom—it is spiritual warfare. Words can wound. Words can heal. Words can build strongholds or break them down. And in these perilous times, our speech is often the first evidence of spiritual health or decay.

“The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.”
—Proverbs 18:4 (KJV)

Just as deep waters may conceal hidden dangers, so too the words we speak reveal the unseen depths of the heart. Many claim to love God, but their mouths betray bitterness, fear, or pride. Their speech reveals the true treasure within.

The Sound of the End Times

Jesus warned that in the last days, deception, offense, and hatred would abound.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”
—Matthew 24:12 (KJV)

If love is growing cold, it’s being replaced by something else. Listen to the conversations around you: outrage, sarcasm, blasphemy, slander. These are the sounds of a society distancing itself from God.

Consider the rise of online hostility. Families divided over ideologies. Churches split over doctrines. Social media flooded with complaints, mockery, and self-exaltation. This isn’t coincidence. It’s prophecy unfolding. The abundance of bitterness and rebellion is pouring forth.

Socrates Said, “Speak, That I May See You”

Even the world understood that speech reveals essence. Jesus took it further—not only does it reveal, it judges.

“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”
—Matthew 12:36 (KJV)

How many idle words have we spoken? How many confessions of fear instead of faith? How many murmurs of discontent rather than songs of praise?

A Call to Examine Your Treasure

What are you talking about lately? What themes come up again and again in your speech—worry, money, politics, self-promotion? These are not neutral subjects. They are signs.

“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”
—Colossians 3:2 (KJV)

Your tongue will always testify to what your heart treasures most.

It is time to take inventory.

• Are your words marked by peace or panic?

• Do you speak life or rehearse fear?

• Are your conversations seasoned with grace or poisoned with judgment?

As Jesus said, “by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned” (Matthew 12:37, KJV).

A Prophetic Generation Must Speak Differently

Those who belong to Christ are called to be set apart in every way—including how we speak.

“Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt...”
—Colossians 4:6 (KJV)

Your speech isn’t just casual communication—it is a prophetic witness in a perverse generation (Philippians 2:15). It is either drawing people to Christ or pushing them away.

A Call to Repentance

If what’s been coming out of your mouth doesn’t reflect Christ, it’s not just a behavior problem—it’s a heart problem.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”
—Psalm 51:10 (KJV)

Let today be the day you surrender your heart—and your words—back to Him.

Repent for every idle word. Renounce every spoken curse, complaint, and compromise. Ask the Lord to cleanse your lips as He did Isaiah’s (Isaiah 6:6-7). Let Him set a watch at your mouth (Psalm 141:3), so that your tongue no longer reveals hidden sin, but testifies of grace.

The Gospel Message

Friend, the heart cannot be healed by willpower. It must be transformed by Christ. And He is willing—even now—to give you a new heart.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
—Romans 3:23 (KJV)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
—Romans 6:23 (KJV)
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
—Romans 10:9 (KJV)

Let today be the day your heart is changed, your tongue redeemed, and your life secured in Christ.

Final Word:

“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.”
—Psalm 19:14 (KJV)

Speak. That the world may see Christ in you.
