Why are the sheep so Skinny?


As a soul-winner and Evangelist, I am always in contact with people from all walks of life.

The main goal for me as an Evangelist is to win the Lost to Christ, however I always encounter those who are sheep “born again believers” as I talk to some of these sheep “born again believers” I have noticed a unhealthiness in there speech.


What I have noticed is that they are not being feed the proper spiritual food by the ones they are being shepherded by (The pastors and teachers), it is noticeable because they don’t speak with the Kings language , “That is” they talk of Jesus on a less personal level , and they speak more of going to a church building and being Baptized , and how prosperous they are because they go to church.


As I question myself I have to ask the reason for “Why these sheep are so skinny?”

I come to the answer and say they have been feed with what I call “Spiritual Crack!”

What is Spiritual crack?

Spiritual crack is: The truth of Gods word mixed with the traditions of man; ego and laziness , or an unwillingness to teach the whole truth on the part of the under shepherded (PASTOR)


21:15So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 21:16He saith to him again the second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 21:17He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 21:18Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry [thee] whither thou wouldest not.
John 21:15-18 KJV

The above scripture is a conversation Jesus had with Peter, this is going to be the third time Jesus appears before the people after his resurrection , and after Peter had decided he was going to go back to his old Job “Fishing”.


He asked Peter “ Do you love me more than these fish?”, and each time Peter said “I love you” and Jesus tells him “Feed my Lamb, feed my lamb, feed my sheep” three times to Peter, and on the last time Jesus asked, Peter say s “ You know I love you”

Before you all go Theological on me about the meaning of the types of love, just think practical for a few seconds”!


Peter said that he Loved Jesus, and in his answer, we believe and have seen Peter feed the flock of God.


Many of us Pastors and teachers have started out the same way and have said they will feed the flock “The Church”, but I am afraid that many have become Ecclesiastical pimps!


Ecclesiastical pimps are those that feed the flock of God with Spiritual crack, those that have gone back fishing , and those that are lazy and unwilling to teach the whole truth of Gods word.


This is the reason why we see so many Skinny sheep in the community, they have received Spiritual crack from those ecclesiastical pimps and are now addicted to this deadly addiction which causes them to be so skinny.


The effects:

1. Spiritual weight lost

2. Inability to recognize truth

3. A thirst for tradition

4. Lover of man

5. A defection in there walk


Remember thy look like sheep, but instead of saying “BAA” they say “HEY HAW”

So because of the crack, they sound like mules!
