I've been trying to pray out loud recently, I'm failing terribly. A lot of things that were just impulsive thoughts come straight out of my mouth now. I was watching an old show I liked and I randomly said that I revoked my salvation. I don't like this. I don't want this. But now I feel like Hell is all around me and God is angry, really really angry with me. I feel like I'm in panic attack and nauseous. I was keeping through Luke still, and Luke 6 today mentioned
“The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”
Luke 6:45 ESV
I've heard arguments both ways. Either what comes out of your mouth reflects your heart, or judgment of or words (more clearly referenced in Matthew 12 after the unpardonable sin passage) is only based on what you actually want to say. I feel so small and scared, I'm terrified my heart is evil and I'm doomed without a hope. I wish I could have the hope I used to.
I'm so afraid I'm lying to even myself and on judgement day will be exposed as a false prophet and liar and unbeliever. The people in my church are so OSAS they don't seem to try to imagine the terror I feel. God is both Love and Wrath.
Also in my terror I've said awful things about God. It's like a caged animal lashig out. Other times I just say things and I don't know where they come from and people say "then those thoughts aren't yours" but what if it's like Jesus sounds like He's saying that our words reveal our hearts not only words we mean count?
