HEART DEFILEMENT
JESUS said, do hear what I
am about to say, listen, and
understand, which is
supreme importance.
A man is not defiled nor
made unclean by what enters
his body, but by what comes
out of his heart, the things
that enters the body does
not defile nor make a person
unclean, what defiles a
person is not what he drinks,
eat, what a man eat and dink
dose not enter his heart, it
enters his digestive tract and
passes through his body.
Therefore , food drink, or
eating with and unwashed
hands or doing any other
thing out ward cannot defile
a man- is not Spiritual, what
our heart does, that makes
us either good or bad,
spiritual or canal.
