“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is perfect living in harmony with God and peace towards men. Herein thou has done foolishly; therefore from henceforth thou shall have wars.” Comment: King Asa of Judah started out well but did not end well! He began to trust men more than God! It is vanity to trust in men! We are all flawed mortals! God is constantly recruiting men and women to work in his Kingdom here on earth! In the college grid and National Football League recruiters are constantly going out scouting to find the best players! However God’s recruiting program is just the opposite! God will recruit the worst people and turn them into winners! The crazy man walking among the tombs Jesus delivered from demons and he was the best evangelist for his home town! The woman who had five husbands and living with another guy unmarried was delivered from her sin and became a great evangelist for her village! Lazarus after being raised from the dead had an effective ministry in hospice! Mary Magdalene had some devils cast out of her by Jesus and stood by Jesus at the Cross while the other disciples fled and hid out! God always takes the worst and turns them into the best! Who would chose Peter a fisherman with a hot temper and a sharp knife? Who would chose Thomas a doubter? I will not believe unless I can see and touch your scars from the Cross! Why did not Jesus recruit from the Theology seminaries? The religious folks put Jesus on the Cross! Saul of Tarsus was the only exception! God choses people who are wise enough to know they need help! I need his help everyday! He is not my crutch but my Savior! God helped King Asa defeat his enemies! Then Asa began to take credit upon himself for the victories God had given him! He began to steal God’s glory! He robbed God of his praise! Humility moved to pride! Judas stole money from the Temple treasury to betray Jesus! He robbed God and lost his soul! Do you rob God of his tithes and offerings? Be a man or woman after God’s own heart! Remember God loves his enemies! Relinquish all that you could ever be on your own and give yourself to God! God gave himself for you on a Cross! Could you give yourself to him? All of you? If you trust yourself you will lose! If you trust God he will show himself strong for you! In your weakness you will find his perfect strength! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Faith Without Works Dead! James 2:17
There is a class of people who seem to think that if a man should fall overboard into the sea with a Bible in his pocket it would be hardly be possible he would drown! I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my feet! Frederick Douglas
For Better or Worse! 1 Peter 3:17
Greek Translation: “For it is better preparing, providing and making ready, if the will of God which pleases God be so, that you suffer for well doing benefiting others, than for doing evil harming others.” Comment: Remember your marriage vows? For better or worse! Sometimes it is better and sometimes it is worse! But together in covenant with God we stay together! Everyone will suffer in this world! Suffering does not discriminate! You will suffer either for the right reason or the wrong reason! If you are suffering for the right reason then your persecution comes from those that hate God! If you are suffering for evil then your persecution is coming from God! In the end Job was rewarded for his righteous persecution! God gave him back all he lost plus much more! Patience is your reward to see the righteousness of God! Time exposes the truth for the righteous and the wicked! Jesus chose suffering to deliver us from Satan our accuser! So what is our obligation back to God for suffering for us? Even though Salvation is a gift from God we still suffer the same persecution Jesus did for us! If you want to love God then receive his gift of eternal life to you! To hate God is to reject his gift! When you lift up the name of Jesus in the earth persecution will come but for the right reason! Rejecting God will bring the judgment of God! Jesus took our suffering and defeated death and the hell that was reserved for us! Now he is seated at the right hand of his Father in Heaven praying for the believer’s in the earth and awaiting the time for his second coming back to earth! He took our judgment and part of his reward is to be judge of all the living and the dead! God’s grace to you is greater than anything you could ever do on your own! By grace you are saved and not of yourselves! When your Facebook, Google or YouTube account is shutting you down because you posted a Bible verse there understand the persecution is against Christ himself and they want to shut him up and the only way to do that is to shut you up! Be patient and keep taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Biblical or Propaganda?
The person who imagined that he could not be the victim of propaganda because he could distinguish truth from falsehood, is extremely susceptible to propaganda, because when propaganda does tell the truth, he is convinced it is no longer propaganda: moreover, his self-confidence makes him all the more vulnerable to attacks which he is unaware! Jacques Ellul (1912-1994), French Philosopher, Socialist and Theologian. Comment: In our world of fake news, virtue signaling and identity politics there is only one weapon that will work against these attacks! Your Bible! Read it daily! Study it! Memorize it! Your Bible is a truth detector! It is a lie detector! It will expose lies in my own life and in yours! Lies that are promoted by academia, religion, Hollywood, social media, government and news media! You can believe your Bible but that is about it! Right now a Finnish politician is under a hate crimes investigation because she posted a Bible verse on her Facebook account! Persecution of the Christian has come and throughout history because we follow Christ and stand by our Bible! Paul said we are to count it all joy when we are persecuted for righteousness sake! The biggest lie is made that your Bible is not true! The Bible is hated because it exposes our sin! Then they have to accept it and repent or reject it and die in their sin! Our lives are either built on truth or a lie! The remedy for sin is also in your Bible! Hitler burned thousands of Bibles then millions of people and he himself burned by the fire! The medicine you take by reading and believing your Bible will save you from the poison of the world! Live for Christ and serve your fellow man with the love of Christ! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Gay’s & Rainbows! Genesis 1:28
Comment: Only Noah and his family escaped the worldwide flood that destroyed the entire population of the world! Was it global warming? I do not know if Noah was a Republican or a Democrat but the only one left not to participate in the sin of the then world! By faith he had to build an ark! In Genesis 1:28 just after God created male and female what was his first command to Adam and Eve? Be fruitful and multiply! Gay’s, lesbians and transgenders in the day’s of Noah and just like today they cannot be fruitful and multiply by child birth! Just like abortion the sinners lifestyle reduces populations! God after the flood put a rainbow in the sky as a sign to us that he would never flood the whole earth again! Is it not interesting that the sign of the homosexual movement is a rainbow! They mock God and get in his face and say see you cannot destroy us again because you promised! Leviticus 20:13 and Romans 1:27 make it clear of the consequences of their sin! So in their pride will they repent? The first sin against God was pride! The final judgment of the earth will not be by water but by fire! Much like Sodom and Gomorrah! God has mercy and if they repent their judgment is removed by Jesus who took their judgment on the Cross! If not their sin will judge them with high suicide rates and diseases! God will not be mocked! Confess your sin before it is too late! You can choose judgment or mercy but it is your choice to make! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Why is Satan Released? Revelation 20:7
Greek Translation: “And when the thousand years were expired with the end goal completed, Satan the prince of devils who casts himself between people to divide them shall be loosed out of his prison.” Comment: Asking questions about God is not a denial of our faith but for clarification! One thing for sure the answers are found in your Bible! Think about the millennium or thousand years of reign of Christ here on earth with perfect peace! All because Satan is in prison! The lion lays down with the lamb! No more war! No army, air force, marines, law enforcement, FBI, CIA, ICE, TSA and the list goes on! No more political races! No terrorists and shooters! Without Satan socialism will work! No one tries to rule over another! No crime! No more sleeping with a pistol under your pillow! No drugs and illegal immigration! No abortion! No slavery! No racism! No persecution of Christians! No more beheadings! No more accidents and plane crashes! No sinking ships! No hurricanes and drought! No floods! However after the thousand years your neighbor calls you and many other saints for a community meeting? He explains to you that you do not have to follow Christ anymore! We can build our own kingdom of earth! Together we will conquer Christ and his followers! We can rise up and war! Wow! Did we have some fakes on earth during the millennium? Satan is let out of the bag and guess what? Division! So what is God’s purpose in letting Satan back unto the earth? God has power to bind him or loose him! God’s purpose for releasing Satan is to bring his final judgment of him into the Lake of Fire! Christ went to the Cross for two purposes! To bring redemption to man and pronounce final judgment on Satan! Once the final judgment is rendered to Satan and his followers he will never be able to return to earth to divide God’s creation again! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Truth Crushed to Earth Rises Again!
1 Peter 3:16 Greek Translation: “Having a good, useful, benefiting others conscience knowing together and bearing witness of your moral obligations of your faith, as of evil doers with thoughtless words falsely accusing you with malice causing injury to you, that they may be ashamed that falsely accuse you in your good conversation and behavior in Christ.” Comment: Satan is our real accuser to mock the followers of Christ! It does not matter what generation we live in he is the same! However the love of God is also the same for every generation! As a follower of Christ you are going to be wrongly accused in this life! The young man in Texas who shot and killed many people may have been wrongly fired from his job but we leave the wrongs done to us with God for even he was wrongly accused! God says vengeance is mine! Satan accused God all the way back to the Garden of Eden as recorded in the Book of Genesis! Satan convinced Adam and Eve that God was a liar! God surely did not say you would physically die if you ate of this tree? Jesus come down from the Cross if you are God? He saved others but cannot save himself? Satan can only hold sway over you if you believe his lies! Through reading and studying your Bible everyday you will be able to see the deceptions of Satan! Just like God Satan is a spirit that dwells in people! Jesus at his ascension also sent his Holy Spirit to dwell in believers until his second coming back to earth! The Holy Spirit also exposes the deceptions of Satan! God is truth and every man a liar! Jesus said I am the truth! The way and the life! Truth will always expose a lie! Satan was a liar from the beginning! Just tell Satan if I were perfect I would be God! Satan I am a forgiven sinner but you are an unforgiven sinner! Forgiven sinners in Heaven and unforgiven sinners in Hell. You can accuse me and the Christ that lives within me but you will never convince me to abandon my faith in Christ! You can behead me but my last words will praise my Savior! As the Father of lies you can never be trusted! Your doom is sure and your time is short before the final judgment being cast into the Lake of Fire! My home is Heaven with all the benefits Jesus has promised me! Satan God has promised you a place in Hell along with your followers! I cast you out of my life in the name of Jesus Christ! I cover myself with the blood of the Lamb! I see a problem in the 21st Century church here in America! Not from every pulpit but in many! Hell is never mentioned anymore? Satan is never mentioned! I know some pastors want to sell their books and make the money but to remain popular is a heavy price to pay for omitting the truth! Jesus talked more about hell than he did heaven! To hear many from the pulpit today you would think Satan and Hell does not exist? If Satan and Hell do not exist then Jesus went to the Cross for nothing! Not to be an accuser of the brethren but to warn us the whole Gospel has to be preached! We are in a war between good and evil and our enemy must be recognized before we can defeat him with the Word of God! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Why do Righteous Suffer? 1 Peter 3:14
“But and if you suffer for righteousness sake, happy are you; and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.” Comment: First we need to take a careful look at the word “Righteousness”. In the Greek it is Strong’s #1343. Righteousness or justice is an adopted claim to a higher authority! It recognizes God’s claim on us! Because he has claimed us we can claim him! Insurance does you no good unless you file a claim! If you do not file a claim you will never receive the benefits! When we study and believe the Word of God everyday we make claims on his promises to us! Through everyday study of your Bible you claim your rights and file your claim! You might call this the covenant! We claim a higher authority to self! Our standard is to adopt God’s claim on us! We belong to him! Righteousness is the state commanded by God standing the test of his judgment! It is conformity to all he commands of us! True righteousness belongs to God! The righteousness of God is the right God has upon all his creation! Righteousness is a gift from God! Righteousness is recognized by man in acceptance of God through faith! Righteousness by law can only be applied to God for he has never broken the law! Men have broken the law and trying to keep the law by their own efforts oppose the righteousness of God! God is the law giver to show us we can never be righteous on our own! Christ fulfilled the law because he was more than a man he was God! He was God in the flesh! Christ took the penalty of death for our sin of breaking the law to the Cross! Our righteousness now rests in him! Our expression of his love is executed on others! The righteous are persecuted because of the first sin which was pride! In the Garden of Eden our first parents were tempted by Satan with pride! Did God really say? You know more than God! I am giving you a higher education! Your knowledge will exceed God’s thanks to me! You were born a male you can be a female! You are a female you can become a male! You can do what God cannot do! You can sin! Sin is about trusting ourselves over God! Then the law becomes our judge with no redemption! We suffer because we do not trust ourselves in our own efforts as the world does! We trust in God’s character and not in men! The world hates the truth because it would mean submitting themselves to the righteousness of God! They could no longer make themselves God! Their only temporal sigh of relief is to persecute the followers of Christ! Their faith is in themselves and in conflict with the faith of God! Finally the word “happy” used in the Greek is Strong’s#3107. It means blessed possessing the character of God! When Jesus ascended to his Father in Heaven he promised us to send his Holy Spirit to keep us until his second coming! His adopting us who were once orphans in sin from the Commonwealth of Israel blesses us with no greater happiness! All of life is a struggle for acceptance living in a world of rejection!Many sin for acceptance! When we receive the righteousness of God and his acceptance there is no greater joy!
