CD 1709 Subtle Sins
What comes to your mind when you think about the term " subtle sins"? The word of God tells us it's the little foxes that spoil the vine. Could it be it's the little or the subtle sins that opens the door for something greater to operate in and through our lives? Let's think about our thoughts just for a second.
Our present day thoughts are the seeds of tomorrow's actions. If we are not careful in our thoughts, it will not be long before we fall into sin. The truth of the matter is after the thought seed has been planted, we do not know when it will grow, but sooner or later it will grow. We know that everything we see in the natural came from the vision of God in the spiritual. With that being said consider the following from the natural:
When it comes to vegetables and fruits, some plants can take quite a long time to bear fruit after they're planted. Here are a few examples:

- Asparagus: It can take up to 3 years for asparagus plants to produce spears that are ready for harvesting.
- Avocado: An avocado tree can take anywhere from 3 to 15 years to produce fruit, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
- Dragon fruit: Dragon fruit plants can take up to 6 years to start bearing fruit.
- Pecan tree: A pecan tree can take up to 10 years to produce nuts.

The problems of today, maybe even some strongholds that we are dealing with come from just a subtle sin. It is laid there silently but assuredly growing until it was time for the fruit to come forth.

*Read Matthew 7:18 (KJV) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

So we need to be very mindful of where our mind is being fed or should we say what is being sown in our minds, our hearts! The Bible instructs us to:

*Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life!

Let's talk about some subtle sins that are the seeds of thoughts that will produce the fruit of tomorrow's action:

-Spiritual Pride: Thinking too highly of ourselves or being unwilling to accept correction or advice from others.
*Proverbs 16:18 (KJV) Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

-Envy: Feeling resentful or unhappy about someone else's success, blessings, or possessions.
*Proverbs 14:30 (KJV) A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Gossip: Sharing rumors or negative information about others, often disguised as concern or prayer requests.
*Proverbs 16:28 (KJV) A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

Selfishness: Putting our own needs and desires above the needs of others, or being unwilling to sacrifice for the greater good.
*Philippians 2:3 (KJV) Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
