Fools & Sin! Proverbs 14:9

“[Fools} [make a mock] at [sin]: but among the [righteous] there is [favor]”. Commentary: It seems like a short verse until you look up the Hebrew root words! Not complicated just the meanings of the words are expanded for clarity! So what is a fool? According to the Hebrew it is someone who is perverse, silly and stupid! Every family has at least one! To “make a mock” means to scorn, ridicule or “make mouths” or a foreign language no one understands! The sinner mocks God and sin! So what is sin? It means to be a law breaker guilty without reconciliation! Did you get that? Without reconciliation! We are all sinners yet some reconciled but others not! So who reconciled our sin to God? The Father? God’s Son Jesus Christ! Remember there are two types of sinners! Forgiven sinners and unforgiven sinners! Forgiven sinners in heaven and unforgiven sinners in hell! Now what does the word righteous mean? It means to be right with God in the eyes of God! So how do we get right with God? Repentance for our sin through God’s Son Jesus Christ! Then we positionally find “favor” with God! Favor means God’s goodwill and kindness towards us from a superior to an inferior! Repentance means pride has to go and humility replaces pride! Pride before the fall! The prideful are sinful and the humble are saved! Our attitude determines our altitude! Heaven above or hell beneath! The choice is up to you! James & Hamsa Sasse.

True & False Prophets? I Kings 13:33

First and Second Kings were originally one book. They tell of David’s death, the golden age of Solomon’s reign, how the nation divided into two Kingdoms (Republican & Democrat), and their eventual captivity by heathen powers. (China) Could we be talking about America today? King Solomon compromised in order to achieve his political ends! The end justifies the means! He taxed the people so much it fostered a rebellion! The love of money today is the root of all evil! Abortion! He trusted his military more than God! The political changes reflected the abandonment of God by the culture! The good Kings (Southern Kingdom) tried to maintain the traditional worship of the true God! The bad Kings (Northern Kingdom) tried to abandon worship of the true God and replace him with Idol worship! The apostate Northern Kingdom led by King Jeroboam was destroyed! The Southern Kingdom Judah was more repentant and Jesus came through the line of Judah! What lessons can we learn from the Books of the Kings? 1. Human governments are faulty at best. 2. God’s rule continues in spite of the follies of men. 3. The will and purpose of God will prevail. 4. God still speaks through his prophets. Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. 5. God shows his power through the forces of nature plagues, earth quakes, floods, droughts, famines and God incites foreign hostile armies (China) to accomplish his purpose. 6. God is always in control. 7. Time exposes true and false prophets. I Kings 13:33 “After this thing King Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but again made the lowest of the people priests of the high places : whosoever would, he consecrated him, and [he] one of the priests of the high places.” Commentary: Sounds like Saul and Samuel? Satan’s purpose was always to be worshiped! To replace God’s worship! Every evil spirit wants to replace Jesus as King! Remember Jesus is prophet, priest and king! He is a trinity within himself! False worship is exposed in any culture by the rejection of Jesus Christ! He is replaced by Darwin, atheism and other forms of Idol worship! The State becomes your God! The State gets prayer out of schools! Darwin replaces creation! They get Bibles out of schools! Crosses are removed across the land! From cemeteries? Nativity scenes come down by court order! Political correctness hides truth! Cancel culture removes Christian voices! Abortion! Open borders! Sanctuary cities! Fraud in elections! Foreign religions promoted! Foreign governments bribe politicians! Deceptions and lies everywhere! The State goes after the righteous! The nation weakened spiritually and economically! The priests do not resist evil but join them! Wicked behavior like gay marriage, homosexuality, lesbianism, transgenderism promoted by the State and many priests! The church the 501c crowd becomes the State controlled church! No resistance to evil! Popular culture becomes church culture! The wheat and the chaff grow up together! However there will be a harvest! Spiritual warfare leads to political warfare and then to violence! Two voices speak one for good and one for evil! Two Kingdoms! Heaven and Hell! A true prophet of God went to a false prophet and the false prophet lied to him telling him he was a true prophet! It cost the true prophet his life! How can you distinguish the true from the false prophet today? What they do with Jesus Christ! Is he the King, Prophet and Priest of their life? How about you? Is there someone greater? The Holy Spirit will affirm the truth in your Bible but you need to know your Bible! Read and study it everyday! Make it more important than your necessary bread! Jesus is the Bread of Life! Follow him to Bethlehem and the wise men did! Be wise and not a fool! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

gods & goddesses!

A few years ago a Hollywood celebrity suddenly lost his wife to an illness! He asked this Pastor to do the funeral service! He also asked him if he could have the mic during the service to give a special eulogy for her! Sometimes a Pastor when he has to hand the mic over to a congregation member for a testimony or to someone he does not really know the fear of God moves into his heart! Then the Pastor says to himself what the heck? He is paying me a lot of money for this service and after all it is his wife! During the eulogy of his wife he made the closing remark that his wife was the best wife he ever had? A commentator later said that is what he said about all of his wives! Recently another celebrity re-married her first husband! Did she have buyers remorse? Did she bankrupt the last guy and the first guy was just coming out of recovery? I hope it works out for both of them and for the last guy she just dumped! I said all that to say this! There is only one God and he has only one Son! His name is Jesus Christ! He is faithful and true! His name is not Happy Holidays! Jesus was with his disciples for three years! Yet most of them had other gods! Judas was so in love with money it cost him his life and his eternity! Yet they did not know they had other gods until the crucifixion came! Then they ran for their lives and went into hiding! Persecution will always tell on you who you really are! This test is coming to the church in America very soon! After Jesus rose from the grave he had to seek his disciples! The two women who went to the empty tomb Mary the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene were faithful! Hats off to the ladies! Jesus found Peter along the seashore back to his fishing occupation! Jesus told Peter he would make him fishers of men! All the disciples came back repented and became pillars in the Christian church! You may feel you have failed God in some way! Some little god got in your way! God will never give up on you! Just do not give up on God! Wait in patience in whatever trial you are going through and he will prove to you he is faithful! No longer trust your little cultural gods but in the Christ who created the heavens and the earth and you! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Wives & Ministry!

Martin Luther is famously known as the Father of the Reformation! He grew up in the organized church. However something was wrong? Not with the people but with the system. He was a German Monk who began the Protestant Reformation in the 16th Century and became the most influential and controversial figure in the history of Christianity! Today in the 21st Century Donald Trump would be the most influential and controversial figure in American politics in the last hundred years! Somehow if you have never noticed influence and controversy go together! You cannot have one without the other! If you are not influential you will have no controversy! Martin Luther had to drain the religious swamp! If no influence you will die alone in the grave yard! Luther was charged as heretical as a leader of a religious revolt! The organized church tried to impeach him! More than that they were running for their lives from the church and the State! They had to go under ground! After months as a refugee in his own country he went into a depression! His wife encouraged him in a most unusual way! She went to her bedroom and dressed in black! Black dress, shoes, hat, veil, socks and handbag! When she came out to the living room Martin saw her and told her that she looked like she was going to a funeral? Yes we are she replied! To the funeral of your God! Martin snapped out of the depression went to his prayer closet and penned the famous hymn “A Mighty Fortress is our God!” Wives carry and share the burdens of ministry! Remember Job’s wife? Curse God and die! I am sure she got Job out of his depression! Good wives do not like pity parties! My wife Hamsa over the years has been responsible to help carry this ministry! Our wives help to shed light on our human frailty! As we enter through a very dark period in American history of political upheaval, death, plagues, spiritual depravity and isolation we must remember when the night gets the darkest the light of Christ shines the brightest! That is what happened to me on my death bed back in 1973! They gave me last rites! I knew it was my last night on earth yet excited because I was going to find out if my Bible were true and this Christ it talked about? Jesus came into my room that night and told me in just three words that God Loved Me! Then in the same year Jesus sent Hamsa my dear wife into my life! God is no respecter of people and those who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved! In Jesus name! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Violence & Love!

1 John 4:11 “Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought to love one another.” Commentary: After the riots and burning over the past year and the Capital riots our worth comes from the God that loves us! Our behavior only confirms we need the Savior! If God first loved us then our net worth is equal! We are to love each other because God loves all of us! I am reminded of John 3:16. True love sacrifices for others! Fake love sacrifices others for themselves! True love went to a Cross! For God so loved the world that he gave! Gave his only Son! Most of the rioters on the Capitol were sacrificing for Trump as the rioters last summer who attacked cities and the White House were sacrificing for the political left! However this is all misplaced love because it hurt and destroyed other people who God loves! Two wrongs never make a right! The rhetoric and violence must stop on both sides because if either side thinks they can win through violence then we will have our second civil war! God first loved us yet even today many reject him! Jesus sacrificed himself on a Cross as we mocked him and spit on him! This is the love of God that makes us worthy of redemption! Jesus commanded us to love our enemies! That is what God did for all of us! Notice Jesus did not agree with his enemies that is you and me! Herod that fox! Rich man sell all you have and give to the poor! Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand! King Herod said to Jesus do you know I have political power to destroy you! I will never agree with the enemies of God! Abortion! Same sex marriage! Homosexuality and the list goes on! Why? Because God calls this sin! If our nation is to survive then we must come in agreement with God! Divisions are always there! One heaven and one hell. One Christ and one Anti-Christ! One Savior and one Satan! America should be one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all! Justice and liberty was achieved for all of us when God went to the Cross for our sins! If divisions over Christ continue in our culture then only destruction will follow! Divisions can be reduced by sacrificially loving one another! That day in 1973 when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior I came into agreement with God! Peace! Joy! Blessings! Freedom! Healings! Redemption! Love! Wisdom! You can have the same if you no longer disagree with God but come into agreement with the Creator and Savior of our universe! God Bless America! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Blessings & Cursings?

So where do you hear these words the most spoken here in America? They are; “Jesus please help me! Help me Lord! I need your help bad!” You would be surprised not in church but at the Las Vegas gambling table just before the dice are thrown! But after they lose their bets what words do you suppose come out of the same mouth? I cannot print them here is this forum! Source: Mike Huckabee Show.

Plagues & Repentance!

Commentary: The word plague in the Hebrew is Strong’s #5061. This word appears about 75 times in the Old Testament. However different English words are used in translated passages for this Hebrew root word as we shall see! The plague is acquired by physical contact with something God forbids! Sin! It could be from eating birds of prey like the bat that God forbids in the Book of Leviticus! Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden that led to physical death to all mankind! It could be acquired like AIDS from homosexual activity! The outcome from plagues can have very different outcomes based upon the scriptures! What did King David say in Psalm 38:11? “My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my [sores] and my kinsman stand afar off.” Sores is another English word for the Hebrew root word plague! The Coronavirus leads to social isolation! All plagues lead to this fact! In Psalm 39:10 David says, “Remove thy {stroke] away from me, I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.” The English word stroke is the same Hebrew root word for plague, Strong’s #5061. Now some good news! In Psalm 91:10 David says, “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any [plague] come nigh thy dwelling.” The Hebrew word plague translated here is the same Strong’s 5061. More good news in Isaiah 53:8 a Messianic prophecy says, “He (Jesus) was taken from prison and from judgment, and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he [stricken].” Stricken is the same word for plague, Strong’s 5061. So will a plague consume you or stay away from your dwelling place? Unforgiven sin is the foundation of all judgment and judgment by God! Repentance is critical for deliverance from all plagues! Not just church attendance but repentance! So how bad does it need to get before the Pastor’s across America call for National repentance? I have not heard of one Pastor calling for National repentance? Repentance for abortion, gay marriage, homosexuality, transgenderism, atheism, Marxism, Darwinism, drugs, witchcraft, open borders, disrespect of all authority both spiritual and civil. The cancel culture and mockery of the Christian faith and National respect of America and her great history! Political correctness to remove all vestiges of Christ in our culture! If you think a vaccine is your Savior then you are a fool! If you do not trust Christ through this world wide epidemic then you have no protection! Things are not bad enough for National repentance yet so we wait until we get to a point where there is a spiritual awaking among those that see Christ is their only hope! In the mean time promote the Gospel and help those even sacrificially that have no hope! Then share where your hope is in! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
