“…but what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart…” Romans 10:8 (NKJV)
“The word in your mouth and in your heart”, these are the only two places God expects us to always keep His word, but most believers leave it on the paper and think it will work for them while it’s still on the paper but it doesn’t work that way. This kind of erroneous belief is the reason, you hear some people when sharing a testimony, they say, “I put my bible under my pillow” because somehow they believe that the bible under the pillow is what makes the word work but it isn’t so. It is the word in your mouth and in your heart that makes it effective.
People spend years reading the bible but they don’t keep it in their mouth and in their heart which is where the power lies. So you have a responsibility, to study the word, meditate on it and store it up in your heart and speak it out through your mouth. God encourages us to study His word and know it for ourselves. You might say but sir, the word of God is already compiled in a book and if I have a need for it, I can always reach for my Bible. Well, you are right by saying you can always reach for your Bible, but the truth is that even if you study the Bible a hundred times and do not learn how to store it up in your heart and release it in faith with your mouth, it will do you no good. So, I encourage you to store the word in your heart and release it with your mouth.
