What Defiles a Man?

Mark 7:21
Christ speaks about evil hearts and what defiles a man within the chapter. He says what defiles a man is what comes out of his heart and not what he puts in his mouth.
"For from within, out of people's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, evil actions, deceit, lewdness, stinginess, blasphemy, pride and foolishness."

-The first thing that defiles a man is his evil thoughts that produce all the other evil actions. The Lord started with evil thoughts, why? Because as a man thinketh so is he.
This is powerful, because we become what we think. In most cases what we think is influenced by what we've heard.

-Words are a powerful tool that we are to use to become the people HE has called us to be. All we have to do is repeat his words over and over, because the human mind learns by repetition. We have to change our thoughts which means our words in order to be effective. We have to recognise and be aware of the words we speak as those words/thoughts become flesh in our lives.
