Matthew 12: 34,35 - "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things."
Observation:
The good treasure is the Word. So from the Word of God deposited in my heart through affirmation and meditation, I bring forth good things.
My heart or my spirit is like a bank. Whatever I put into my heart is my deposit. My withdrawals are made with my mouth by my making the proper confession based on the Word that’s in my heart.
The deposits I have made into my heart can be loosed out of my mouth by faith. If what I am speaking is faith in the Word, God will cause good things to be brought forth in my life.
1 Corinthians 11:31 - "But if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged."
This could have been translated as “if we discerned ourselves correctly we would not have to be disciplined.” Or, if we would discipline ourselves, the Lord would not have to do it. That is by far the easier way. If we would fall on the rock and be broken, He would not have to fall on us and crush us into powder.
Luke 20:17,18 - "What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. "
