God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Take care never to impute the vain imaginings of your fancy to Him [the Holy Spirit]. I have seen the Spirit of God shamefully dishonored by persons – I hope they were insane – who have said that they have had this and that revealed to them. There has not for some years passed over my head a single week in which I have not been pestered with the revelations of hypocrites or maniacs. Semi-lunatics are very fond of coming with messages from the Lord to me, and it may spare them some trouble if I tell them once for all that I will have none of their stupid messages… Never dream that events are revealed to you by heaven, or you may come to be like those idiots who dare impute their blatant follies to the Holy Ghost. If you feel your tongue itch to talk nonsense, trace it to the devil, not to the Spirit of God. Whatever is to be revealed by the Spirit to any of us is in the Word of God already – He adds nothing to the Bible, and never will. Let persons who have revelations of this, that, and the other, go to bed and wake up in their senses. I only wish they would follow the advice and no longer insult the Holy Ghost by laying their nonsense at His door.
C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR 1-POUND LOAF

This is for the bread machine, but of coarse it may be done by hand, in
which case you will add additional flour to form the desired dough
consistency.
Bring milk to a boil. Stir in first flour measurement. Cook over medium
heat until mixture resembles mashed potatoes, stirring constantly. Remove
from heat and cool to room temperature.
Add all ingredients except the last three, according to manufacturer's
instructions. Process on normal bread cycle.
At last beep at end of last mixing beep, or at end of first kneading cycle,
add raisins/or nuts, cinnamon and brown sugar.
Cool for at least 30 minutes IN machine. This firms the bread.
For a more traditional Babka, omit cocoa powder, orange zest.
Add grated lemon zest 1 TBS 1 1/2 TBS
Use raisins (no nuts)
This is pretty with a light chocolate or white glaze on top.
