“For because you did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, for we sought Him not after the due order.” Two Hebrew words stand out in this scripture written thousands of years ago! The word “first”, head or first in rank. The words “due order”, means a legal decision given by God to be followed by the people! What is really interesting is the Hebrew word is another Hebrew root word for the word “due order.” The Strong’s Number is 8199. Here is the Hebrew definition of the word; “this word encompasses all the facets of government including executive, legislative and judicial branches of government.” This sounds like our United States Constitution! Most Americans do not get the connection between our Bible and the Constitution! Our Constitution is a Biblical document! Remember the Jewish Temple and the Mount was the seat of all religious and government rule to the Jewish culture! Law cases were tried there! Laws were written there! Executive actions to enforce the law were done from there! Just as our God is a Trinity so is our government with three branches! The pattern for our Constitution was implemented after the Bible to give people liberty and Justice for all. The question that begs to be asked is why did God have to render a legal decision? We have broken His laws through sin! God’s legal decision to punish sin was accomplished by His Son on Calvary! God has given His Son Jesus Christ the responsibility to judge the living and the dead! Your judge could become your Savior if you choose Him? Otherwise Christ will be your judge forever! Which is it? Do not play the lottery with God! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Grave Yard Charm! India 1985
Sound appealing? Would any church leader surround his church with a grave yard? Probably would not be a draw for big crowds? Most people here in America today want a grave yard placed out of their sight! In our mission work in India I discovered churches completely surrounded by grave yards? It seemed foolish at first until I spent a few years there and then it made sense! What the British did in India for 200 years was take the Gospel to the people! One of the problems faced there was Hindu’s and Muslim’s taking over a church, desecrating the altar and erecting a temple or mosque over it. This same problem going on in Britain and America today. So the British surrounded the churches with grave yards especially in remote area’s of India! Halloween would have been a big hit there! The Muslim’s and Hindu’s were fearful of grave yards so they left those churches alone! So the British protected their central worship centers while reaching out to the community in evangelism. We discovered this first hand because we rented out an old fellowship hall next to the grave yard and no one would attend our meetings! So we moved our location from the church and Hindu’s and Muslim’s began to attend services! The fear of death is a bondage to men! This is why Easter reminds us and confirms to believer’s in Christ that death has been conquered! He is risen! He who also promises us to raise us from the dead! As I used to walk through the grave yard on my way to worship services I was reminded of my mortality and that Christ who I serve defeated death for me! My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Blood and righteousness! Jesus is more than a man He is God! Only God could achieve the miracle of the resurrection from the dead! O’ death where is thy sting? O’ grave where is thy victory? The opposite of fear is love! For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son! Christ will return to judge the living and the dead! No one escapes! Accept the judgment Christ took for you on Calvary! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
The Pope and Politics!
The separation of church and state was dead when it came to Pope Francis visit to America! The Pope got on the State Bandwagon! Why was the Pope well received? Because he kissed babies? Earlier this year the Pope was asked about the homosexual lifestyle? His response was why should I be a judge? The community here in America thought he had caved in on homosexual behavior! There was a song back in the 1960’s that went, “Hey, Mr. Postman have you got a letter for me?” Hey, Mr. Popeman do you read your mail? God’s letters to him are in his Bible! There are over 200 scriptures in the Bible on judgment! My Bible says that Jesus is coming back to judge the living and the dead! His judgment will be based on a document called, “The Holy Bible.” Pope Francis why should we judge Hitler, Stalin, Ben Laden and Islamic terrorists? Don’t resist just surrender! The Pope is also on the Global Warming and the United Nations one world government scheme! The Bible makes it clear that homosexual activity is a sin! If the Pope does not have the guts to tell the truth I will! On the 200 scriptures in our Bible on judgment here is one of them! Revelation 11:18 “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and thou will give rewards to thy servants the prophets and the saints and to them that fear thy name small and great, and should destroy them that destroy the earth.” Note: The word earth used here refers to the sin of the inhabitants that pollutes the earth!

Why Kick President McKinley off the Mountain?
Have you ever heard of a standing United States President removing a memorial to a previous serving U.S. President? Obama evidently hates competition! Who is next? Mount Rushmore? Four President’s with name changes? Like Larry, Curley, Moe and President Obama! How hard he works at removing American history! Why? What has Obama got against President William McKinley? Is it the Cuba connection? McKinley was President during the Spanish American war. Remember the Maine! Spain was fighting a civil war on the island of Cuba. The Spanish military was fighting a civil war with Cuban residents in a rebellion against Spanish rule. American citizens were also living on the island and their safety was threatened! President McKinley ordered the U.S. Maine, a battleship down to Cuba to rescue Americans in danger! The ship peacefully entered Havana harbor and moored there to take home American citizens who felt threatened. The U.S. Maine exploded in the middle of the night with over 300 casualties and many wounded! Whether the ship was mined or blew up internally is still speculation after several investigations! McKinley got extreme pressure from the American public and legislators to go to war with Spain! McKinley was a Civil War Officer who knew the carnage of war! Finally under great pressure declared war on Spain! The war lasted just over 90 days with about 300 casualties. The important point here is America went to war to free the citizens of Cuba from the atrocities of the Spanish! Yes by Spain default America got Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam and Guantanimo Bay! Cuba lost its independence in the 1960’s under Communist Dictator Fidel Castro and continues today under his brother! President McKinley was assassinated in 1901 while serving in office! President Obama wants to give away Guantanimo Bay? He wants to normalize relations with Dictator’s in Iran, Cuba and other rogue nations? How does that work? If you were an America citizen would Obama rescue you? Forget it! Ask the four American citizens rotting in an Iranian prison! Ask the four Americans murdered in Bengazi! He will exchange a Army deserter for releasing 5 deadly terrorist from Guantanimo Bay? President Obama you may try to erase American history but America will survive you because the Spirit of America lives within the hearts of her people! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

The Nicene Creed
WE BELIEVE IN one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. WE BELIEVE IN one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate: He suffered death and was buried. On the third day He rose again in accordance with the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead, and His Kingdom will have no end. WE BELIEVE IN the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one Holy universal and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen
Object of Your Faith?
Our Faith is no better than the object in which it is placed! Airplanes crash and ships sink! We can trust in our senses and physical body but it will ultimately fail us in death! If we trust anything more than God our Faith will be faulty! Jesus Christ will never fail you because He has promised to raise you from the dead both now and forever! No one else can make this promise unless He were God and Jesus Himself was raised from the dead for you! Source; Andrew Wommack
Easter Promotion!
God’s promotion system is opposite the world system we live in! The world system depends on doing wrong to someone in order to get ahead! God’s Kingdom promotes those who do right and suffer wrong for it! The Cross
is our best example! Christ went to the Cross for our wrongs yet was promoted by being raised from the dead and being seated on the right hand of the Father forever! Christ through the Cross also promoted us to Heaven whom He died for our sin! So remember if you are suffering for doing right thing God is watching and waiting for your patience to promote you for what He has also done! Happy Easter! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
All of our returning veterans can suffer from this disease! Why does it only manifest itself when our veterans return and not in the combat theater? When they return the threat is gone! Bonnie Gray has some interesting insights into this problem! Combat veterans are trained to survive using their weaponry. When they return home the threat is still in their minds from training, combat experience and long periods of exposure to battle field conditions! So the first thing they do when they get home is buy a weapon for security from the threat! They are depending on their own works to protect themselves! We as Christians also must not depend on our own works! Yes, Faith without works is dead but works alone will result in dead works! We need to allow for whitespace which is simply spending quality time with God in prayer, Bible study and church attendance! God Blesses our work if we rely upon Him and commit the work to Him and through Him! Grace is God doing for you what you cannot do for yourself! Suggest you buy her book! The title is: Finding Spiritual Whitespace.
If You Like Your God You Can Keep Your God!
Really! Another lie! The same Spirit that has removed Bibles from our schools and prayer from our schools in America is the same Spirit in Islam! The same Spirit that promotes abortion and removal of Crosses in America is from the same source! The same Spirit that sent Jesus to the grave is alive and well! The good news is the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you! Muslims that do terrible things to people are just following the Quran! This is their Holy Bible! Anything but Holy but simply practicing their Faith! Only 20 percent of the 1.4 billion Muslims have ever read the Quran! Hey! It is your lucky day! How many Christians read their Bibles? Even when the political right uses the term radical Islam they do not understand this is what normal Muslims do! They are not radical they are obeying the Quran! When I hear our political leaders say Islam is a religion of peace they are either ignoring history, ignorant or in denial? I am going to give you some sampler verses out of the Quran that will help you understand Islam! Chapters in the Quran are called Surah. So Surah 5:72 would be Chapter 5, verse 72. Here we go: Surah 5:72 Christians will be burned in the fire! Surah 5:73 Christians are wrong about the Trinity, they will have a painful doom! Surah 8:67 A prophet may not take captives until he has made a slaughter in the land! Surah 9:34 Give tidings and a painful death to Christians and Jews! Surah 24:5 It is okay for Muslims to have slaves! Surah 28:62-64 Allah will taunt Christians on the day of their doom, saying; Where are my partners you imagine? Surah 28:86 Never help unbelievers! Can Muslims in countries ruled by non Muslims be loyal to their country? Surah 30:13-14 Allah will tear Christians apart for ascribing partners to Him! Surah 47:4 Smite the necks of unbelievers wherever you fight against them! Those who die fighting for Allah will be rewarded! Surah 58:22 On the last Day good Muslims will not love their Muslim friends and family members, not even their fathers, sons or brothers (or their mothers, daughters or sisters). Surah 59:2-3 Allah will cut fear into the hearts of the disbelieving people of Scripture! Their home hereafter will be in fire! Surah 59:11 The disbelieving people of the Scriptures are liars! Surah 60:1 Do not be friends with unbelievers, they are your and Allah’s enemy! Surah 61:4 Allah loves those who fight for Him! Surah 62:5 A hypocritical Jew looks like an ass carrying books! Those who deny the revelation of Allah are ugly! I hope this sampling of the Quran will help you better understand Islam! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
God’s Creation!
Nature never breaks her own laws! Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) Comment: Yes, but the God who created nature can! Whether Moses at the Red Sea or Joshua getting his clock turned back or Jesus raising the dead! Whether Jesus healing the sick or the miracles present today in the Name of Jesus Christ! Jesus can and does change nature because He is God! Salvation defies nature! Yes, our nature! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
