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.

CD 1705 Turmoil: Toppled or Toppling

March 9, 2025 A.M. Service

“Turmoil”, or stress is something that we all face daily. However, according to the American Institute of Stress, 33% of people feel extreme stress, 77% of people feel stress that has some impact on their physical health, and 73% of people have their mental health impacted.

Over 48% of people report having sleep problems as a result of stress - of “turmoil”.

In this message our Father wants to reveal what is truly on the inside of us versus what is trying to enter in! When you’re in “turmoil” meaning stressed, signals are sent to different parts of the body to alert them, which can lead to physical manifestations ranging from headaches to nausea.

Note turmoil means a state of great disturbance, confusion, and uncertainty!

Let's think about that just for a minute. Note “turmoil” means a state of “great disturbance”, In truth, "disturbance" can be accurately described as a lack of peace! In the King James Version Bible 429 times in 400 versus we have the word peace! Jesus Himself is the Prince of Peace! Have you accepted Him in that truth? Turn with me in your Bibles to 3 openings for our “text” this morning please:

*Text Matthew 26:30-38

*Read Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Remind yourself at the moment of salvation the “The Prince of Peace” comes to live on the inside of you! When we stay full of Him there is no place for “great disturbance”!

Note “turmoil” also has to do with “confusion”:

*Read 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV) For God is not the author of “confusion”, but “of peace”, as in all churches of the saints.

The Lord saves and places those who would be saved into His church “of peace”!

And finally note that “turmoil” has to do with “uncertainty”:

*Read 1 Timothy 6:17 (KJV) Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in “uncertaint riches”, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

#1 Peace with God

*Reread Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

*Read Romans 5:1, 8-10 (KJV) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

*Read Romans 8:16-17 & 31-32 (KJV) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

#2 Peace over the flesh
