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

Coronavirus & Bat Soup
Leviticus 11:19 “And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.” Comment: God has given us dietary laws for our own health and welfare! The Coronavirus out of China and the Ebola virus out of Africa all are connected to the eating of bats! These cultures were starving in past generations so they ate what they could find! However then these foods became a delicacy in their cultures! The Chinese are even trying to promote this delicacy here in America! These birds of prey are forbidden for consumption because they eat other animals who are diseased and pass it on to humans if consumed! The complete list of these fish and animals are found in Leviticus Chapter eleven! Also pork, shrimp and fish without scales are forbidden! These creatures feed on the bottom of the ocean or streams consuming toxic chemicals resting of the bottom of the waters! Pork and shrimp are one third cholesterol! Over time they clog your arteries and blood vessels causing strokes and heart attacks! Over the years I have asked Pastors about these dietary laws! Some told me this is Old Testament so just pray over your food and ask God to bless it! Just pray over your bat? If God tells me not to do something and then I go ahead and do it and then pray over it to ask God to bless it do we think God is a fool? If I violate the Ten Commandments and commit adultery then ask God to bless it I am a fool! The scriptures never get old with time! In fact time proves them irrevocable and eternal! I wish the Bible had been divided into First and Second Testaments! Remember without the Old Testament we never would have had the New Testament! Without the Old Testament Jesus would never had come to earth! Jesus quoted the Old Testament when he defeated Satan at his Temptation! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Winners & Losers!
It seems like over the past three years the Democrats have tried to orchestrate bad news in the midst of good news of a booming economy and other successes both foreign and domestic of the Trump administration! With the 24-7 news cycle of constant Mueller investigation and impeachment news I have had to defend myself by changing the channels on my Television! Do you realize how many episodes of Forensic Files I have watched over the past three years? I decided to go to this program where there was a real crime! I would at least stay awake watching these episodes where they used science to solve the crimes! I really learned about science watching these programs! They were educational! Every time a Democrat would talk about taking my Second Amendment rights away I would watch another episode of Gunsmoke! Then I would go to the shooting range and burn up another box of shells to hone my gun skills in case of a government coup! Then I would read my Bible to see how all this turns out? God wins and Satan loses! I want to be on the winning side of history! I follow winners! Not losers! That is why I follow Jesus Christ! That is why we will vote for Trump again!

Iniquity & Redemption!
Psalm 119:3 “They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.” Comment: Everyone has a general idea of what the word iniquity means. However few understand it’s origin! The word in Hebrew means to be wicked, dishonest, depraved, unjust and or unrighteous! So where is this word used the first time in your Bible? It is used in Genesis 4:13. However even though it is the same Hebrew root word as in Psalm 119:3 the translators use a different English word! In Genesis the translators use the English word punishment rather than iniquity! Cain said, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.” My iniquity is greater than I can bear! So how does one come to do iniquity? Iniquity is the penalty for sin! A bad dude is not a bad dude because he is a bad dude! He is a bad dude because he is receiving his wages for sin! The wages of sin is what? Death! Iniquity is turning the truth into a lie! In the Garden of Eden Satan convinced Adam and Eve to believe a lie that God did not mean what he said! Surely God has not said? Go ahead and eat of the fruit on this forbidden tree! You will then be wise like God (Pride). You will not die! Satan did not tell her the wages were going to be sin and death! Iniquity is a function of sin! Iniquity comes naturally to every human that has ever lived! However redemption is supernatural! God takes our iniquities upon himself and pays the price for our sin! He takes our penalty of iniquity for our sin upon himself! He dies for us! He takes our guilty plea! This is what the Cross is about! There is no redemption outside of Christ! No religion will die for you but it will kill you! Until the source of our iniquity is cut off no remedy will work! No good works will pay the price for our sin! Send them to prison yet when out they do it all over again! There has to be a supernatural work of God! Jesus said you must be born again! If we confess our sin he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin! The way Satan even today destroys lives is to cut them off from Christ! To mock Christ and his followers! Through political correctness not to mention his name! To take down Crosses! To remove the Ten Commandments from Courthouses! To remove nativity scenes! To attack political leaders who support Christianity! To take Christians to court! If the political left is successful at these attacks then iniquity will be the Ruler of our Land! God Bless America!

The Resurrection & Scars!
Comment: Did you ever notice Jesus had his scars on his body after the resurrection! The scars from the Cross! In fact this is the way the disciple Thomas confirmed it was truly Jesus raised from the dead! At Jesus second coming you will see his scars! For those who reject him will see his scars before they are judged by him into everlasting hell! For those who have accepted Jesus at the judgment will also see his scars! The disciples all rejected Christ when he told them on the third day he would be resurrected from the dead! At least they did not believe him! Why was Mary Magdalene the only one who believed Jesus? The disciples witnessed the miracles done by Jesus but Mary experience his power! Jesus cast seven demons out of her! When we are raised from the dead will we carry some scars? People who abused us and others who we have abused? At our resurrection other people will recognize us! Same facial recognition! Same gender! However the guilt of sin and shame will be gone forever! I am talking about believers in Christ! God created us to save us! My sin is there but covered by his blood! Forgiven! God becomes greater than our sin! We forget the scars because he has forgiven us! His love is greater than our sin! When we forgive our enemies the scars are there but no longer hurt! Our sin first is against God yet Jesus will forgive us if we confess our sin! My wounds are healed by his stripes! Those stripes that were laid on his back! He was bruised for my iniquities! He carries those bruises for me! He was beaten beyond recognition for me! For my sin! He was denied a married life with a spouse here on earth so he could become the bride of the church! The war on Christ here in America in the 21st Century is a war on scripture! The gender war is a war on creation replace by evolution! God created male and female! Charles Darwin the Jewish atheist has many disciples! If we could evolve from a monkey anything is possible! We could evolve from a male to a female! From a female to a male! We could evolve to a sexless person! We could evolve from a male female attraction to a male to male attraction! A great philosopher once said if a culture replaces Christianity the danger is they will then believe anything! The French Revolution was about de-Christianizing France! Death and destruction followed! If history writes about the destruction of America the historians will write the rejection of Christ was their defining moment! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Democtrat Playbook & Impeachment!
The despair is there, now it is up to us to go in and rub raw the sores of discontent, galvanize them for radial social change! Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, Community Organizer for Revolution. Comment: The Democrat left do not come up with their own ideas but are borrowed from radicals such as Alinsky! Much of their playbook comes from the socialist/communist loving Alinsky who migrated from Russia to America! He set up shop in Chicago and trained disciples of his radical ideology! Two of his better known disciples are Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton! So where did Alinsky get his ideology that he has passed on to others? From Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin! This ideology is borrowed sin! Any idea you have is borrowed from someone else! Hitler is a good example! His ideology came from Charles Darwin! He believed according to his quotes that evolution could be speeded up by millions of years by getting rid of the undesirables! He wanted to get rid of the basket of deplorables and smelly Walmart shoppers! Get rid of guns and religion! You will borrow your ideology from either God or Satan! The Bible is the gold standard for a life of prosperity and peace! Jesus is the Prince of peace! You become who you serve! Who you follow! Life or death hangs in the balance! Rebellion is expressed through religion and politics! Who you vote for is who you submit to! An elected official becomes your slave master! A slave to God is freedom but to Satan death and destruction! You have probably made a choice already but never too late to change! Choose this day who you will serve! You will serve either God or Satan! The consequences of your choice have eternal consequences! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet! Saul Alinsky Comment: Michelle Obama is quoted as saying you are not an educated person unless you read the works of Saul Alinsky! So I took her up on the challenge and guess what I discovered? It is the playbook of the Democratic party! They do not get their ideology from the Bible! In fact their ideology opposes the Bible! The push for gun control just like health care is not for your welfare! It is a plan and plot to take down democracy to be another Russia where Saul Alinsky is from! A Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Putin State controlled people! If you do not understand the ideology of who you vote for you can be in for a big surprise! Your best defense is to educate yourself before you vote for anyone running for office! Smart people read their Bible! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Socialism & Religion!
Socialism is a religion people get when they lose their religion! Richard Neuhaus (1936-2009) Prominent Pastor and Author. Comment: When the government becomes your God failure is imminent! When we put our hope in mortal men mortality goes on display in the failed ideologies of men! Socialism has a track record of misery and death! If you cede your personal responsibilities to the government it cannot makeup for your defaulted neglect to a ward of the State! Thomas Jefferson said socialism is sinful and tyrannical! We do not have to look very far to Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuella or North Korea to see the disasters! When God is removed from a culture hopelessness rises! Dependency on the State ensues! Christianity brings personal responsibility for individual lives and the nation profits above what any government could ever do! One nation under God with liberty and justice for all! Our Founding Father’s knew the key to American prosperity! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Christmas & Grace!
Luke 1:28 Greek Translation: “And the angel came unto her and said Hail, you are the direct result of God’s grace! You cannot do on your own what I am about to do for you! Thou art highly favored! Favored by the whole favor of God’s grace! The Lord is with you: blessed are you among women for I have spoken well of you and will follow with my actions for you.” Comment: All three of the Greek translated words in this passage Hail, Highly Favored and Blessed are all related to the Greek word for Grace! Grace is simply God doing for you what you cannot do for yourself! So Mary was not able to earn this blessing by works! She was not better than the rest of the women! In my own life after coming to Christ I could not do on my own what God has done for me! I could not have saved myself! Works is trying to save yourself! The blind Jews mocked Jesus on the Cross and said he saved others let him save himself! What they did not understand was by going to the Cross Jesus was saving them! By faith you are saved and not of yourselves! We must surrender all our will to God! Jesus before the Cross prayed not my will but thy will be done! Jesus had a will just like us! Our surrender of our will to God means a victory for us and others not achievable in our own will! I can do certain things based upon my own ability yet I cannot raise myself from the dead! I cannot save myself! I am not able to forgive my own sins! I am able to forgive others if I understand God has forgiven me! Mary by faith received what she could never achieve by her good works! Favor with God is what Christmas is all about! The Savior born for you and me! Born and died to save us from ourselves! To save us from sin! Raised from the dead to raise us from the dead! Born again! Born to live for him and others! If you receive Jesus just as he is he will change you to what he is! Love! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Mary & Christmas!
The name Mary is a Hebrew root word that means “Wished for Child”. The Hebrew root word name is Miryam. Remember Moses sister had this name. Also Mary Magdalene. The English form is Maria. The Latin form is Mariam. The name was most popular here in America in the 1940’s and 1950’s. However today here in America it has dropped out of the Top 100 baby names due to the spiritual decay of our culture! The Jewish women over the centuries would sometimes not get married in hopes they would be the chosen virgin to conceive the Messiah! One thing is for sure Mary’s parents were smart enough or shall we say wise enough to give her the right name! There is a destiny in a name! That is why we call ourselves Christians first above anything else! I am an American but first I am a Christian! Your identity determines your future! Did you know the name Adolf means a “Famous Wolf”. Did the Hitler family know the meaning they gave their son Adolf? I doubt it! When we were in India for those three years when a Hindu would come to Christ they would change their names from a Hindu god name to a Christian name! Then they would publish their new name in the local newspaper along with their photo! They recognized the power of a name for good or evil! Most parents name their kids a popular good sounding name yet do not know the meaning of that name? Ignorance! There is power in the name above all names Jesus Christ! Merry Christmas!
