You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34 AMP).
"Belief always drives behavior"- Reggie Joiner
"Behavior betrays belief" - George M. Stover Jr.
A person's behavior will always betray their true beliefs. What a person does is what a person really is. A person is what they believe, and say, about themselves. "out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34b Amp).
There is no way to live in fear and say that you have faith. Fear is negative faith. It believes the worst. Faith, on the other hand believes the best and puts fear out of doors. Faith is an integral part of love and cannot work without it.
There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love's complete perfection] (1 John 4:18 Amp).
