Sheep

Dale Cresap's picture

Have you ever heard of people referred to as sheep? This implies that they are placid and unthinking followers. This is no compliment. Yet many times in my word I refer to my own people as my sheep. Do you think I mean this as an insult? Yet my word also refers to me as the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, and it is clear that sheep face a better future than goats. It is not within a man to direct his own steps. Even the best and brightest are followers and all the more so if they are unaware that this is true and how much this dynamic affects them. Blessed are those who walk in the light and are delighted to call on me as their shepherd.

Primary Distinctive

Dale Cresap's picture

The skeptic and the doubter pride themselves on their reason and intelligence for the things they can figure out on their own. This is their primary distinctive. My intelligence so far exceeds theirs that there can be no comparison, for mine is infinite, yet I do not pride myself on it. For my primary distinctive is not intelligence but love, which is greater, and I should know. Do you think that you lack wisdom in comparison to the intellectuals you know? Yet I am willing and eager to share divine wisdom with those I love, who seek and ask it of me. I want them to understand that love is greater than intelligence, and for it to be their primary distinctive as well.

outward devotion?

Dale Cresap's picture

Do you desire the approval of others for being devout? I warned against emphasizing the outward appearances of piety in offices and titles, in manner of dress, and even in your appearance, that those who fast should not appear sullen or somber to be regarded as being spiritual. Are there still more ways in which you value public approval for your spirituality? Even if you avoid these items just mentioned are you content to let others think you are more spiritual than you really are? This is a dangerous trap. Be quick to acknowledge me for your righteousness and yourself for your faults to bear my presence in you with open humility.

When you fully realize, grasp, the reality of My great love for you, you are well on your way to worshiping Me in Spirit and in truth.

what you eat?

Have you heard it said that you are what you eat? This can be argued at the most basic material level, and a proper diet is important to health, but you are a spiritual being. I taught that it is not what goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out. For the food you eat passes through you and is eliminated, but what comes out of your mouth is an indication of your heart. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. This is true for better or for worse, for curses and insults and condemnation or for blessing and affirmation and favor. Just as godliness is more profitable than bodily exercise, so the words you speak are more important than your diet.

Global Warming Stopped 16 Years Ago

Mark Virkler's picture

The following information is quoted directly from here. I think it is important to deal with reality and not with political hype.

Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released... and here is the chart to prove it.

  • The figures reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012 there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures
  • This means that the ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996
