New Song! Revelation 14:3

They sung a new song! The word new in the Greek means new in quality! Before I got saved and came to Christ church was just about singing a song! They were all old songs to me! To me it was just a ritual to fill up a one hour Sunday morning service! Get it over with and move on! After salvation all these old songs became new to me? Now these words had power and authority! The word song in the Greek means a confession! Praise and confession! Before I got saved confession to others about God was a problem! I intentionally never shared anything about God to others! I despised others who did! After Salvation it was like I was born again! With all my energy and being I used to confess my Christ to others! It was not a case of pride but to show case my God and what he had done for me! In this verse we have one hundred and forty four thousand Jewish Evangelists raised up in the earth during the seven year Tribulation period! They were martyred and now in this scene they are in Heaven! The four beasts and the twenty four elders around the Throne of God witnessed these Evangelists singing a new song! No one could learn this song! It was a special song composed by them to honor the King! Our Heavenly praise will not be the same as our earthly praise! Why? Because we will have been raised from the dead! No earthly experience will ever match this! The word redeemed used here means bought with a price! Jesus paid the price for our sin to deliver us from it! We have not fully comprehended our Salvation yet! When we are raised from the dead we will have new songs for the Savior! As a young man Christ delivered me off my death bed! My passion is based upon my experience! I am not in competition with anyone else and understand some people even have more passion to Christ than I do! I just demonstrate my thankfulness for what he has done for me! God loves the whole world! Intimacy with God involves songs and prayers that are not public! Communication that is reserved for you and Christ alone! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

False Religions!

It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes! Thomas Paine (1737-1809) English born American political activist, philosopher, political theorist and supporter of the American Revolution. Comment: Really our Bible describes both! God and Satan! The war in Heaven started by Satan against God continues down here on the earth! Those in Christ wear the Victor’s Crown! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

The Rich Young Ruler!

Matthew 19:16-30  Comment: We are all familiar with this story! So how would the rich young ruler be treated today in the 21st Century church? He would be worshiped like an idol! He would be heralded for his success and highly lifted up in the congregation! Brother rich man if you would give 20 percent of your income to our ministry you will even become richer! What did Jesus tell the rich man to do? Sell all he had and give to the poor then follow me! This is a hard saying! The rich man could not do it and walked away sad! His wealth had him! A slave to wealth! What question did the rich man have that brought up all of this? The rich man wanted to know how to inherit eternal life? He thought he had this life all figured out so he was concerned about the next life! However he did not understand what he was doing in this life was holding him up in the next life! If I gain the whole world what profits me if I lose my soul! The love of money is the root of all evil! Easier for an elephant to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter Heaven! Why did not Jesus tell the rich young ruler to sell all he had and give to a ministry? Give it into the Temple at Jerusalem? The religious leaders had the same problem! Love of money! I thank God I am not rich! He gives us our daily bread and the cares of today are sufficient! You may think you can have money and not love it but that is rare as hens teeth! Think about God! Spend time in His Word! Be thankful for what you have! Remember the woman who anointed Jesus feet with the expensive perfume for his burial! Judas got upset! We could have sold this and given to the poor! Jesus said the poor you will always have with you! Judas wanted the money! The poor are always with us because the rich love their money more than God and doing what we should to help the poor! What am I doing to help the poor? Perhaps a mission trip through your local church would help you to have the opportunity to help the poor! Jesus paid the price on the Cross to prepare eternal life for you! Take up your cross and follow him giving life to those who have never heard about Christ and his love for them! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Follow! Revelation 14:13

Greek Translation: “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed for my sake and worthy are those that have naturally died in the Lord who executes authority for good from this point forward. Yes saith the Spirit or breath of God that they may rest from their labors and their works of spreading the Gospel following them and preceding him.” Comment: One of the most fascinating words used in this passage of scripture in the English word “Follow.” The Greek word used here for follow really has two meanings! It means to follow and it means to go before! This is significant because although we follow after Jesus at the same time we go before him! That is in regards to his second coming! When you spread the Gospel into the earth you are also preparing the way just like John the Baptist did! Like the Old Testament Prophets did for his first coming! This helps us to understand this verse in the Book of Revelation! As you follow Christ you prepare the way for his second coming for others! To prepare people to escape the final judgment! This is why Evangelism is exponential! You share the love of God with just one person then that person tells another! Those younger generations pick up the truth and tell even younger people about Jesus! Sometimes you tell people older than you and they receive Christ before they pass on and later you meet them in heaven! It is interesting but we attended a large church for about ten years and the Pastor one Sunday asked the congregation how many have come to Christ through this ministry? One person out of a thousand raised their hand! Our Pastor understood the importance of personal Evangelism! When I came to Christ in 1973 in Denver Colorado at Calvary Temple Pastor Blair passed on about 10 years ago! His work follows him! If the work of Christ does not follow you then something is wrong! You are not following the Savior! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Wisdom! Nehemiah 8:10

In this world sorrow comes to all and it often comes with bitter agony! Perfect relief is not possible except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again! Knowing this, truly believing it will make you less miserable now! I have had enough experience to make this statement. Abraham Lincoln Comment: Job is one of the best examples in our Bible where he was successful then lost everything including his family! He lost his health also! Then he had his miserable friends who condemned him for surely he must be evil and deserved this outcome! Yet Satan paraded in front of God mocking him and challenging God that if you take away all the blessings you have given him he will then curse you! What Satan could not touch was Job’s faith in God! God restored everything Job had lost and even doubled all he had lost before the calamities! Lincoln lost everything including his life for our nation! Yet he knew the God that raised him up would one day raise him up again! Think these thoughts when you notice whose picture is on the five dollar bill! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Duty & Sacrifice!

Looking across this field, we see the scale of heroism and sacrifice! All who are buried here understood their duty! All stood to protect America. All carried with them memories of family that they hoped to keep safe by their sacrifice! President George W. Bush
