The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
(Old Testament | Psalms 111:10)
My fellow servants see the salvation of the LORD. Today I prayed fervently to ask the LORD for forgiveness, for guidance and for hope and comfort. I told him that with all my heart that without him or his aid and power I could not make it one more day. I told my Father in heaven, that I did not understand why it is so difficult for us as his priests to remain unspotted from the world without being guide by the hand of the LORD or thru the ministry of his holy angels.
Today, I truly summoned the powers of heavens for some assistance in my trials and tribulations, and finished my prayer heating my chest like the sinner that did likewise and could not look up to heaven of whom the LORD spoke in one of his sermons during his mortal ministry. Then I came here, that is to the scriptures and to the church web site to find answers.
I read article about the priesthood from the church of Jesus Christ that lead me to another article where I found the words that President Hinckley spoke in a priesthood conference when I was but twelve years old. I do not think I ever heard such a talk then, but I remembered my childhood when I was ordained a Deacon in the Aaronic priesthood; and even I am some forty years old now, yet, I did the experiment he required of the youth then by President Hinckley. I stood up read aloud the words of John the Baptist where he says: Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Jesu Christ, I confer the Aaronic priesthood, which holds the keys of the gospel of repentance, of the ministry of angels and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins. And this priesthood shall not be taken from the earth again, until the sons of Levi, offer again an offerings in righteousness unto the LORD.
Here it is the way it is actually written:
UPON you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section13:1)
Then I read all the rest of the remarks from President Hinckley, then councilor in the first presidency. And when I finished, I felt that I had been administered by angel or angels; or better yet, I had his words given by him some thirty years in advance. And now I want to be the first person to share them with you. In the name of Mesiah, amen.
For behold, if the knowledge of the goodness of God at this time has awakened you to a senseof your nothingness, and your worthless and fallen state— I say unto you, if ye have come to a knowledge of the goodness of God, and his matchless power, and his wisdom, and his patience, and his long-suffering towards the children of men; and also, the atonement which has been prepared from the foundation of the world, that thereby salvation might come to him that should put his trust in the Lord, and should be diligent in keeping his commandments, and continue in the faith even unto the end of his life, I mean the life of the mortal body— I say, that this is the man who receiveth salvation, through the atonement which was prepared from the foundation of the world for all mankind, which ever were since the fall of Adam, or who are, or who ever shall be, even unto the end of the world.
(Book of Mormon | Mosiah 4:5 - 7)
And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, andyour own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towardsyou, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.
You see Cher, the LORD is watching over you. And not only him but Drew also. Now you can see who are those that you call friends. The filthy adulators and the blasphemous are in your midst, the true colors come out of these bastards when you rub the truth in their face.That is the effect Jesus Christ has upon the wicked, for they find the truth hard for it pierces them to the very center. Were it not so, they would not have brawled like ravenous wolves. I know a wolf when I see one.
This is textbook evidence that the Book of Mormon or that the word of GOD is good.If you were more consecrated unto the LORD, more at heart than in lips, you will know how to discern better the wolves in your midst. Not, the good shepherd is calling you all. The LORD has warned us to be careful not to let ravenous wolves get in so that we are not destroyed. He also said that we need to watch out, lest he finds us among the wicked.
And it came to pass that I said unto them that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 16:2)
O ye workers of iniquity; ye that are puffed up in the vain things of the world, ye that have professed to have known the ways of righteousness nevertheless have gone astray, as sheep having no shepherd, notwithstanding a shepherd hath called after you and is still calling after you, but ye will not hearken unto his voice! Behold, I say unto you, that the good shepherd doth call you; yea, and in his own name he doth call you, which is the name of Christ; and if ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good shepherd, to the name by which ye are called, behold, ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd. And now if ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd, of what fold are ye?Behold, I say unto you, that the devil is your shepherd, and ye are of his fold; and now, who can deny this?Behold, I say unto you, whosoever denieth this is a liar and a child of the devil.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 5:37 - 39)
For what shepherd is there among you having many sheep doth not watch over them, that the wolves enter not and devour his flock?And behold, if a wolf enter his flock doth he not drive him out?Yea, and at the last, if he can, he will destroy him. And now I say unto you that the good shepherd doth call after you; and if you will hearken unto his voice he will bring you into his fold, and ye are his sheep; and he commandeth you that ye suffer no ravenous wolf to enter among you, that ye may not be destroyed. And now I, Alma, do command you in the language of him who hath commanded me, that ye observe to do the words which I have spoken unto you. I speak by way of command unto you that belong to the church; and unto those who do not belong to the church I speak by way of invitation, saying: Come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye also may be partakers of the fruit of the tree of life.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 5:59 - 62)
Which, when it was full, they DREW to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
(New Testament | Matthew 13:48 - 50)
Wherefore gird up your loins lest ye be found among the wicked.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 43:19)
And go ye out from among the wicked.Save yourselves.Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord.Even so.Amen.
“According to the FCI Standard, the Rottweiler is good-natured, placid in basic disposition, very devoted, obedient, biddable and eager to work. Their appearance is natural and rustic, their behaviour self-assured, steady and fearless. They react to their surroundings with great alertness. The American Kennel Club says it is basically a calm, confident and courageous dog with a self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. A Rottweiler is self-confident and responds quietly and with a wait-and-see attitude to influences in its environment. It has an inherent desire to protect home and family, and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a strong willingness to work, making them especially suited as a companion, guardian and general all-purpose dog.
Rottweilers are a powerful breed with well-developed genetic herding and guarding instincts. As with any breed, potentially dangerous behaviour in Rottweilers usually results from irresponsible ownership, abuse, neglect, or lack of socialisation and training. However, the exceptional strength of the Rottweiler is an additional risk factor not to be neglected. It is for this reason that breed experts declare that formal training and extensive socialisation are essential for all Rottweilers. According to the AKC, Rottweilers love their owners and may behave in a clownish manner toward family and friends, but they are also protective of their territory and do not welcome strangers until properly introduced. Obedience training and socialisation are required. A 2008 study surveying breed club members found that while Rottweilers were average in aggressiveness (bites or bite attempts) towards owners and other dogs, it indicated they tend to be more aggressive than average towards strangers. This aggression appears correlated with watchdog and territorial instincts."
Working style
"According to the American Kennel Club Rottweilers have a natural gathering style with a strong desire to control. They generally show a loose-eye and have a great amount of force while working well off the stock. They make much use of their ability to intimidate.
The Rottweiler often carries the head on an even plane with the back or carries the head up but with the neck and shoulders lowered. Some females lower the entire front end slightly when using their eyes. Males also do this when working far off the stock in an open field. This is rarely seen in males when working in confined spaces such as stock yards.
The Rottweiler has a reasonably good natural balance, force-barks when necessary, and when working cattle uses a very intimidating charge. There is a natural change in forcefulness when herding sheep. When working cattle it may use its body and shoulders and for this reason should be used on horned stock with caution.
The Rottweiler, when working cattle, searches out the dominant animal and challenges it. Upon proving its control over that animal it settles back and tends to its work.
Some growers have found that Rottweilers are especially suited to move stubborn stock that simply ignore Border Collies, Kelpies, and others. Rottweilers use their bodies to physically force the stubborn animal to do its bidding if necessary.
When working with sheep the Rottweiler shows a gathering/fetching style and reams directions easily. It drives sheep with ease.
In some cases Rottweilers have begun herding cattle without any experience at all.
If worked on the same stock for any length of time the Rottweiler tends to develop a bond with the stock and will become quite affectionate with them as long as they do as it directs.”

For if I, who am a man, do lift up my voice and call upon you to repent, and ye hate me, what will ye say when the day cometh when the thunders shall utter their voices from the ends of the earth, speaking to the ears of all that live, saying—Repent, and prepare for the great day of the Lord? Yea, and again, when the lightnings shall streak forth from the east unto the west, and shall utter forth their voices unto all that live, and make the ears of all tingle that hear, saying these words—Repent ye, for the great day of the Lord is come?
And again, the Lord shall utter his voice out of heaven, saying: Hearken, O ye nations of the earth, and hear the words of that God who made you. O, ye nations of the earth, how often would I have gathered you together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye would not! How oft have I called upon you by the mouth of my servants, and by the ministering of angels, and by mine own voice, and by the voice of thunderings, and by the voice of lightnings, and by the voice of tempests, and by the voice of earthquakes, and great hailstorms, and by the voice of famines and pestilences of every kind, and by the great sound of a trump, and by the voice of judgment, and by the voice of mercy all the day long, and by the voice of glory and honor and the riches of eternal life, and would have saved you with an everlasting salvation, but ye would not! Behold, the day has come, when the cup of the wrath of mine indignation is full. Behold, verily I say unto you, that these are the words of the Lord your God. Wherefore, labor ye, labor ye in my vineyard for the last time—for the last time call upon the inhabitants of the earth.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section43:21 - 28)
These things I humbly and firmly say with a single eye for the Glory and honor of GOD as one having authority in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
