John 4:24: “God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” Commentary: Jesus says God is a spirit! Can we find God in a bottle? The word “Spirit”, in the Greek means an invisible wind or breath of God. God created this world with his breath. By the words he spoke through his breath. Some people bless God through their breath and some people curse God through their breath! Though our breath is the invisible part of man yet our character is determined by the words that come out of our mouth! Remember at Pentecost the Holy Spirit came as a mighty rushing wind! It was the wind that rolled back the Red Sea! Blessings or cursing come through our breath! What spirit resides in man is revealed by his words! Since we are created in the Image of God we have breath like God! By our breath we either have the spirit of God or the spirit of Satan! Either a God like spirit or an evil spirit! Satan deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden with his breath! Now let us look at the other side of the equation. Let us look at the word “Truth” in the Greek. Remember what Jesus said in the Book of John? Jesus said my words are truth implying not all words are truth! If you want examples of lies just listen to the political debates! Here is a good definition of truth. Truth means the unveiled reality agreeing with the appearance! The reality pertaining to the appearance! The real deal! Transparency! No hidden agenda! No secrets! No sin! No double talk! No deception! Only truth! The Spirit of God took on flesh in the incarnation of his Son Jesus Christ who is truth! Remember when Jesus was put on the Cross and after he died on the Cross? Many things happened! The veil in the Temple was split in two! Now transparency between God and man! No masks! The barrier of sin defeated! No hiding from God as in the Garden! God taking our sin upon himself! Dying for our sin! God sacrificing himself for our sin! His blood washing us white as snow! If we are to follow Christ then we sacrifice ourselves for others! People following Satan sacrifice others for themselves! With Satan you become the sacrifice! Then murder, stealing and killing sacrificing others for their gain! God is not that way! He gave himself for you! The right relationship in marriage is both sacrificing themselves for each other and together sacrificing themselves for God as God has sacrificed for them! Our sacrifices cannot save us but only God’s sacrifice! However sacrificing for others is God like! The Kingdom of God is a sacrificial system! So is the Kingdom of Satan but in opposite ways! Want to improve your marriage? Increase your sacrifices for your spouse! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Political Twister Scriptures!
Tis the season for the scripture word scrabble political twisting of God’s Word for political gain! We are in the 2020 election cycle where Satan quotes scripture as he did to Jesus at his temptation! Here is one scripture I have seen over the past fifty years that is used to support socialism or government take over of your entire life! The scripture is Acts 4: 34-35. Here it is: “Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold and laid them down at the Apostles feet ; and distribution was made unto every man according to his need.” Comment: Notice the collection made was not given to the government! It was given to the church! The collection was not given to Caesar or King Herod but to the church! The government has tried to replace the church with social welfare programs which has piled trillions of dollars of debt over our nation! So instead of looking to God people look to the State! This is intentional for those that want to stay in political power! However Jesus did say render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar and unto God what belongs to God! I have noticed over the years that those who rob God of their tithes and offerings have no problem cheating on their income taxes! Pastor James Kennedy has a good YouTube video he produced back in the 1990’s on the promotion of socialism by twisting scriptures! If those who really believe of separation of church and state then the state should get out of the churches business and the church get out of the States business! Another example is those politicians who claim that Joseph, Mary and Jesus were illegal immigrants? They use this lie to promote illegal immigration! Caesar woke up one morning who must have been a Democrat and decided the whole world needed to be taxed! Joseph and pregnant Mary had to return to their home of residence in Bethlehem Judea to register to pay their taxes! They were citizens of Bethlehem Judea of Israel. It is fascinating that hundreds of years before the birth of Christ at Bethlehem that the Old Testament prophets predicted he would be born in Bethlehem! They also gave the time of his birth! So who woke Caesar up and prompted him to tax the whole world! It was his greed yet all things work together for those who love God and are called according to his purpose! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Unraveled!
If you take out of your statutes, your constitution, your family life all that is taken from your Sacred Book, what would be left to bind society together? President Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893)
One Sacrifice! Two Kingdoms!
Matthew 9:13 “But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Commentary: What did Jesus mean here? What were the disciples going to have to learn? Would Jesus have to send them to school? They were just a bunch of regular guys! For three years Jesus was trying to prepare them for what was to come! These guys were not in the top of their class! Peter knew how to use a knife! Matthew was a tax cheat! The Sons of Thunder could start a bar brawl at the drop of a hat! Thomas even doubted God! These men were not graduate level material! Could Jesus teach old dogs new tricks? They were not going to learn their lesson until after the Cross! Experience is sometimes our best teacher! Jesus was telling them and us that all of humanity was going to redeemed not by the sacrifices of these men and women but the sacrifice of God himself was the mercy we were going to receive! The sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross was the only mercy that would last forever! We have two Kingdoms in this world and the world to come! God’s Kingdom where he sacrificed himself for your gain and Satan who will try to sacrifice you for his gain! During our election cycle of 2020 be alert for the deception of words where a candidate is trying to convince you he is for you when really he is for himself! You have to read between the lines and perceive deception! Both Kingdoms are a sacrificial system yet one to sacrifice himself for you and the other to sacrifice you for his or her benefit! The church is no different! Follow those who sacrifice themselves for others not those that sacrifice others for their gain! A family is about sacrificing yourself for others! Any ministry should be about sacrificing ourselves for others! Such is the Kingdom of God! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Past President on Socialism!
The indiscriminate denunciation of the rich is mischievous… No poor man was ever made richer or happier by it. It is quite as illogical to despise a man because he is rich as because he is poor. Not what a man has, but what he is, settles his class. We cannot right matters by taking from one what he has honestly acquired to be bestowed on another what he has not earned. President Benjamin Harrison. 23rd President of the United States. (1833-1901)
Capacity for Success!
I am looking for a lot of men with an infinite capacity to not know what cannot be done! Henry Ford. Comment: Bill Gates dropped out of college! The first engine powered flight in 1903 was accomplished by two bicycle mechanics! Alexander the Great would never hire military advisors who would agree with him on tactics! President Trump does the same thing in his administration which explains the turnover! He lets people who disagree with each other fight it out and then after the two dogs are lying on the floor with blood and fur all over the place then he decides who is right! There is nothing more dangerous in this world than an educated fool! The quest for knowledge has always been a stumbling block for mankind! Satan used this quest for knowledge to tempt Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden! If you take of this tree of knowledge you will be as smart as God! Man is so smart today he thinks there is no God? The teaching of Darwinism in our government run schools is responsible for this lie! Education can limit our God given capacity for creativity! Our education can tell us this cannot be done when in fact it could be done! With God all things are possible! To have the mind of God stretches beyond our own abilities! Success comes when we reach into his ability! Infinite ability! The one who created the heavens and the earth! To leave God out of your life is not playing with a full deck! The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom! A fool has said in his heart there is no God! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Exercise Hoax!
Exercise is bunk! If you are healthy, you do not need it. If you are sick you should not take it. Henry Ford
Sin & Redemption!
Psalm 119:6 “Then I shall not be ashamed when I have respect unto all thy Commandments.” Comment: Let us look at the word “ashamed” in the Hebrew. First this word has the opposite meaning of trusting God! The word means to be deceived, confused and then disgraced! Sin is a deception! It is presented to us as an alternative to God by Satan. When you work sin into your life you work God out of your life! Satan replaces God as your master. Satan promises you life but delivers death! He will try to influence you to trust in your own ways! When David trusted God he slew Goliath and the enemies of Israel! When David disrespected God and his commandments his affair with Bathsheba brought public shame and then the baby died! We become very different people when we no longer trust God but ourselves! The word ”Commandments’ we have previously covered however there are different aspects of this word. A commandment is like a contract to the deed for the purchase of a property. If we fulfil our part of the contract then the benefit is executed to us. This was the principle of God’s covenant to Israel. If you keep my commandments then I will bless you and defeat your enemies and bless your land! The problem was men always broke the commandments of God! The same problem today! So God had to sacrifice his Son or himself to execute his promise of redemption for us! God was ashamed of us but in his love for us took our shame upon himself to death on a Cross! Sin should be more offensive to us after the Cross than before the Cross because of the great cost to God! The real purpose of sin promoted by Satan is to shame God! When our shame is removed by God from us by repentance we are free from shame and begin a new life with no guilt of the past and promises of a good future here on earth and in heaven! As the Apostle Paul said we should not repeat the same sin and crucify Christ again! True repentance requires a change! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Commentary on Lincoln!
We the people are the masters of both the Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln Commentary: The American civil war was more about protecting our Constitution which required action on slavery! Liberty and justice for all! It was a war of brother against brother and church against church! Along the Mason Dixon Line churches to the north of the line supported the Union and south of the line they supported the Confederacy! The dividing line of the civil war was along our Constitution and slavery! Lincoln along with six hundred thousand men sacrificed their lives over our Constitution! Lincoln believed our Constitution for present and future generations was more important than his life! Today do you think the Constitution is more important than your life? The battles in the Congress, Senate, Courts and the White House and the Deep State is a war between those who want to sacrifice the Constitution for their own political gain to stay in power than those who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for the Constitution! Our young men and women in our military think America is worth their sacrifices! Those in political power who try to sacrifice American citizens for their gain must be removed from office! In the 21st Century church I see an unwillingness to stand for Biblical values in our popular culture! The scriptures are not used to challenge the wickedness in our culture! Talk about Heaven but do nothing in the Church of The Here and Now! Our war is a war against principalities and powers of darkness in high places! I am not advocating a civil war what I am simply saying is the civil war advocated for our Constitution! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
