Mark 3:10 “For Jesus had healed many; insomuch that the crowd pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had plagues.” Comment: Jesus had just healed a man with a withered hand in the synagogue on the Sabbath and the religious leaders were furious! They plotted together how to kill him! However the crowd had just the opposite response! No one could heal like this except God! Massive crowds followed Jesus! If we could just touch him we will be healed! Jesus can touch you today during this Coronavirus plague! Jesus was in danger of being trampled by the crowds! He had his disciples prepare a boat so he could go on the other side of the lake and get away! Jesus knew he must only die on a Cross! For your disease and mine! For our sin! Touching each other as humans promotes sickness and disease! We spread pandemics! We spread sin! Jesus was more than human! He was God in the flesh! One touch of the Savior and disease and death are gone! Ask Jesus to touch you! God sacrificed himself for you! Most men will sacrifice you for their gain! The Kingdom of God is a sacrificial system! The higher sacrificing for the lesser! Then after the sacrifice the lesser becomes the greater! Nothing can compare to the love of God! The crowd knew this! They experienced his love! The politicians and religious leaders refused to believe with no benefit! They opposed Christ because they viewed him as competition to their earthly kingdoms! Jesus was taking the worship of the people away from them! He was a threat to their systems! The same is true today 21 centuries later! That is why politicians craft laws to oppose the Kingdom of God! Laws to oppose followers of Christ! Persecutions! Religious leaders inventing another way to heaven than through Christ! Today as then God is still God and Satan is still Satan! You have already made a choice who you are following! Are you on the wrong road? I love that old hymn out of India! I have decided to follow Jesus! No turning back! The Cross before me and the world behind me! Have you decided to follow Jesus? Politicians and religious leaders can do some good things but they cannot raise you from the dead! But Jesus will! Some to everlasting redemption and some to judgment! The choice while still on earth is yours to make! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

American Sacrifices! Matthew 24:9
Jesus said many things about the signs of the last days before His return to earth! Verse 9: “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” Comment: Killing of Americans on their own soil was unheard of until 9-11. Since then Americans have been under a constant assault! This has been complicated by political and physical attacks on our law enforcement and liberal immigration policies and the protection of criminals by sanctuary cities with their resistance to enforce federal law! Liberal judges have released many criminals back into society to do the same crimes again! Our prayers and support to the victims of Las Vegas! My advice to Americans is to stay away from large crowds for they will be targets! Arm yourselves to protect your own families! Your personal responsibility is required if you are honest enough to recognize we as Jesus said are living in the last days of history! God Bless America! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Warning to America!
Even after the Paris attacks Obama says he still plans to bring in ten thousand Syrian refugees to America? This is an act of suicide! As of October 2015, he has moved 1293 Syrian refugees into America! Where are they? One governor has already refused to let them into his state! We should all move there! Obama is out to fundamentally change America! He has and is and we are loosing our freedom! He has declared war on law enforcement across America! As thousands of these Jihadist flow into American streets you are going to have to make changes in your life here! First you are going to have to avoid large crowds! You are going to have to avoid football games, basketball games, sporting events like the Boston Marathon! You need to avoid concerts, large congregation churches, shopping malls wherever large crowds gather! I believe house churches will come back to America! Do your children attend schools that have armed guards? Avoid gun free zones like the plague! Our hospitals and nursing homes will need more security! Order your gifts on Amazon and other on-line retailers! Our power plants, transmission lines, communication towers, gas lines, fuel refineries and cell phone towers will need increased security! Obama pulled us out of Iraq and now 1/3 of Iraq is under ISIL control and thousands of Christians martyred! We now have 4 million Syrian refugees! Obama will never admit a mistake so his solution is to bring his foreign policy mistakes back to America! Last Americans need to arm themselves! Obama at the same time is trying to take our arms away from us? America? Do you get it? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Jihad Here In America!
This year Obama wants to bring about 13000 refugee’s from the Middle East! If there are any Christian refugee’s among them I will be very surprised? There is no way to screen these Muslim refugee’s to see if they are Jihadists? Are we going to call ISSIS and find out if they are good people? Remember the Boston Marathon Bombers were refugee’s! The FBI knew of the attack coming on Pam Geller 3 hours before the attack and did nothing? Obama is trying to make good guys out of bad guys by calling them good guys! Obama is trying to degrade civil law enforcement by trying to make them bad guys! It seems that all the recent civil unrest is working for him! I believe Obama never intends to leave the White House! If he can break down civil authority, weaken our military, legalize the illegal, break down our economic system and strengthen our enemies he just may get the job done in the next two years! He is importing terrorists to America through the refugee program! I never thought the day would come where every American citizen must arm themselves! How do you protect yourself? First avoid large crowds! If you are a large church then you need security guards! Even a smaller church needs security! Avoid shopping malls! Buy your stuff in smaller shops or purchase on-line. Athletic events will also be targets! If you have a weapon or get a weapon you do not need a lot of fire power! We never plan to use our weapons! They are for defense only! Avoid automatic pistol’s! The loaded magazine spring will weaken over time and then the gun will jam when you need it! Get an old six shooter pistol and get an extra cylinder. If you keep a weapon in your vehicle have a safe anchored to the frame of your vehicle. Do not keep the safe key on your vehicle key chain! The same goes for your home safe! When storing your weapon keep the cylinder out of the gun frame. This way the weapon is unloaded but can be quickly loaded. You can put a small drop of silicon on each bullet and preload the cylinders so the bullets will not fall out of the cylinders when you move them! If the bad guys have weapons and you do not they will win! If you have no weapons training get some! You are probably saying just pray! There are a lot of Christians walking around trying to find their heads! You may think I am crazy but I see what is coming to America! Your protection of your family is first your responsibility! Police are becoming so paranoid they don’t want to stop anyone! Our Constitutional right of American’s is to protect our families and our nation! Do not be looking for a fight but if it comes to you be prepared! God Bless America! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
The Trinity of God’s Grid!
God’s grid includes God’s relationship to us. It also includes our relationship to God. Then the outflow of these first two parts is our relationship with each other! This is sometimes messy but important. The local church is the alternative relationship not found in the world. Our behavior is different which includes love and forgiveness. When you operate under God’s love relationships are maintained. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. In the phrase,”a threefold cord is not quickly broken,” it is clear that Solomon is pointing out the advantages of companionship. Moreover, he presents this illustration to show how God’s mercy provides help to those who depend on Him. Solomon explains further by examples how this concept of companionship is beneficial. He shows that there are definite advantages of working together. He also reveals how terrible the circumstances would be if one had to face adversity alone. Two is better than one! Adam was given Eve! Learn to be a better friend. The alternative society has love and respect for each other. Two can defend each other. A three stranded cord is not easily broken. Notice how God set up His Kingdom with a Trinity! How we treat each other is a witness to Jesus. Do we really love each other? Satan is the great divider! He tries to isolate us all alone in broken relationships. Do we use each other for gain? His Church gives without expecting a return! We can even be isolated and alone in a Church. You can live in a city such as New York with millions of people around you but yet be lonely! Reasons for loneliness; 1. Hurt or betrayed by someone. 2. Too busy to invest in friendships. 3. Mental clock keeps ticking with deadlines to be met. 4. Not wired to be friendly. Bashful or introverted. 5. Do not know how to make a friend. Proverbs 11:– A Gossip ! Good friends keep a secret! However, remember the strength of sin is it’s secrecy! That is why we are to confess our sin and repent. Do not hide things that are illegal. Even in the church culture people are betrayed by using prayer requests as a way to gossip about others. A good friend covers the spots of his friend. Remember our sin is covered by His Blood! You are not a good friend if someone else has to lose in order for you to gain! A good friend will confront you about bad behavior. A friend will not enable another friend for bad behavior. Confront or otherwise both will lose. We are not here to win arguments but have loving relationships. Explain to your friend this is what you did and this is how I feel about it. Do not let sun go down on your wrath! If you are married and not friends you have a problem.In searching for a marriage partner look for a friend! Romance will not last! Good friends stay close to each other even through valley of shadow of death! I found out my real friends after the tragic shooting we had in our church a few years ago. Good friends forgive. Live in community. People are not always like Jesus in the church. Be quick to forgive. Luke 17:3-4. Repent and forgive! Confront or be confronted and forgive. Do not imagine and rehearse confrontational conversations with people who have offended you. Waste of time! Talk to God about problem.
