God wants you to be saturated and soaked with His Word, and that you can handle the personal Word for warfare. Be saturated and soaked with the Lord through meditation. Beloved, don’t keep quiet! Talk the word!

STORE UP THE WORD IN YOUR HEART
“Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart”
Job 22:22 (NKJV)
What you have in your heart is what distinguishes you. The difference between those who bring change to their world and those who struggle to make an impact lies in what they have in their heart.
Your heart is the governing seat of the Spirit.
God cannot do anything through you beyond the condition of your heart.
The state of your heart defines the extent you go with God.
A wicked heart will produce wickedness. A merry heart will produce joy in his or her sphere.
Whatever we see happen in our world is essentially the product of the condition of the hearts of men who have influence in the society.
One cannot manifest what he has not conceived in his heart. When you conceive evil, you will produce evil. When you conceive blessings and beauty, you will produce blessings and beauty.
”Peter asked Him, “Explain this parable [about what defiles a person] to us.” And He said, “Are you still so dull [and unable to put things together]? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? But whatever [word] comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what defiles and dishonors the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts and plans, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, slanders (verbal abuse, irreverent speech, blaspheming).” Matthew 15:16-19 (Amplified Bible)
See this also:
“For the godless are barren: they can produce nothing truly good. God’s fire consumes them with all their possessions. The only thing they can ‘conceive’ is sin, and their hearts give birth only to wickedness” Job 15:34-35 (TLB)
When you conceive failure, defeats, poverty, wickedness, hatred, envy and afflictions in your heart, that is what you will manifest or express.
Men, by their nature and their culturing without the word of God, are selfish at heart.
And a selfish heart breeds envy, hatred, anger, wicked thoughts etc.
“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?” Jeremiah 17:9 (NLT).
See also: Genesis 6:5; 8:21; Ephesians 4:22.
This is why at your new birth in Christ, God took away the stony heart to give you the new heart of grace.
The Lord declared this through the Prophet Ezekiel,
“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.“ Ezekiel 36:25-26 (NLT).
See also 2 Corinthians 3:3; Jeremiah 24:7; Psalm 51:10.
Now in as much as at new birth the Lord gave you a responsive heart, your heart must be cultivated and nurtured with the Word of God.
The Word of God is the revelation of God’s wisdom, His goodness and character.
To demonstrate and express the character of God, you need the Word in your heart.
“How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you” Psalm 119:9-11 (ESV)
When your heart is cultivated by the Word of God through meditation, you conceptualise God’s goodness, prosperity, good success and glory.
Shalom!
