Heart = Believe => Righteousness.
...
Mouth (Tongue) = Confession => Salvation.
It's your call.
For everything in life, that is, the issues of life (Prov 4:23), they all proceed from the spoken words, and in every situation we find ourselves, it's 100% up to us to decide what we want done. A righteous man can suffer (and continue to) without the proper use of his tongue. Within the power of the tongue is death and life (Prov 18:21), and we use this power every single day.
Why do I say that? As the quoted scripture said; it is whatever the heart believes as it's spoken that comes to past. Herein lies a mystery many believers in Christ frequently overlook! Hidden right beneath the confessed words of Whom we believe in is "The Call" for help!!!
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (vs 13)
OUR CONFESSION OF THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT CHANTING, IT'S OUR CALL FOR RESPONSE/HELP TO OUR GOD! So, never forget that whenever anyone tells you to never say what the Word says in your heart in that or any situation you're in, know for sure they are preventing you from calling for help. If you allow them, you surely might suffer loss.
No one can be saved from unwanted situations without the right words coming out from the right heart. "For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him." (vs 11-12). If you don't learn how to make your regular calls/confessions, you won't get the much needed help in times of need or trouble. So, whom are you going to blame for your losses? None, but yourself alone. It's your call!
Believing Comes Before Confession.
"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" (vs 14) ... and this is faith!
To be saved from these trouble times we are in today, you MUST constantly hear the right words from the right sources in order to believe in Whom you are to call unto in times of need. Many calls-confessions go unanswered because they are lacking in faith that should come from the knowledge, wisdom, and the understanding of the Word of God. "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." (Jas 4:3) ...and please avoid this at all cost.
You must believe what you're saying, and not say what you do not believe. Don't just cram the scriptures into your head (or mind), take them into your heart, and faith will be birth every single time this is done. [Please note that Meditation is different from confession. You do your meditations in your quiet times, while confession is during battles. In order to live a victorious life, our meditations should far exceed our confessions.] Never forget that God's heart (the Holy Spirit) is in your heart (your spirit), do more meditations and your confessions will avail much more. It's always up to you to decide...It's always your call!
