Matthew 15:11
"It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”
Secrets of Heaven 6206:1
All evil flows in from hell and all good from the Lord by way of heaven. The reason however why evil becomes a person's own is that they believe and convince themselves that they think and practice it all by themselves. In this way they make it their own. But if they believed what is really so, it would not be evil but good from the Lord that became their own. For if they believed what is really so they would think, the instant evil flowed in, that it came from the evil spirits present with them; and since that was what they thought the angels could ward that evil off and repel it. For influx from angels takes place into what a person knows and believes, not what they do not know or believe; there is nowhere else for it to become firmly established than in something the person knows or believes.
