Colossians 4:5 Greek Translation: “Walk following Christ in wisdom with the knowledge that your relationship to God differentiating between spiritual wisdom and worldly wisdom understanding true wisdom comes from God. Walk in wisdom to those outside or strangers to the covenant promises knowing Christ has purchased our time through salvation.” Commentary: If we miss Christ in our journey here on earth we have wasted our life in the time here and the costly sacrifice God has made for you! At the time or point in our life where we denounce our sin and accept Christ our entire time here on earth is purchased back! Christ then has saved you from your past, present and future sin! He is the same yesterday, today and forever! Whether you find Christ at ten years old or one hundred years old your lost or wasted time is purchased back! It is though as you have never sinned! The thief on the Cross is one of the best examples! He had just a few minutes to live yet he received Christ as his Savior then Jesus told him this day you will be in paradise with me! His whole life and wasted time in sin was purchased back! The other thief on the Cross rejected Christ so his entire life was wasted here on earth and his eternity separated from God forever! There is only one choice on earth that has eternal consequences! What do you do with Jesus Christ? Everyone including you have either rejected him or accepted him! Where is your position in Christ right now? James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

God Holds The Answers!
Religion survives because it answers three questions that every reflective person must answer. Who am I? Why am I here? How then shall I live? Rabbi Jonathan Sacks Comment: Those answers for you can never be found outside of a relationship with God! In Christ I discovered my purpose! First he created or put me here on earth for a season! Second he gave me purpose to express the love of God to others so they might experience his love also! Then to live for him and for others! Your God given purpose is the only thing that will sustain you here today and forever! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Christmas Story
It was Christmas Eve in Brooklyn New York in 1942. The war was on and a difficult time. It was snowing in New York. A cold night as Wilber was walking down the street thinking about his past. Wilber was 98 years old and his past troubled him? He had committed crimes and betrayed his family and many friends. He was most troubled about where he would go if he died? As he went by a church he heard Christmas Carols. Then he thought I know what I can do! I will join a church and this will throw me in with all the good folks. Then I can escape hell! Wilber went into this Lutheran Church and asked the Pastor if he could join the church? The Pastor told him if he could answer one question correctly. The question is where was Jesus Christ born? Wilber thought a minute and said Pittsburg. Sorry said the Pastor you need to find another place. Wilber went back out into the snow and cold and found a Catholic Church. He went in and asked the Priest if he could join? The Priest said he could only if you can answer one question correctly. Where was Jesus Christ born? Wilber strained his brain and said Philadelphia. The Priest told Wilber he was too far gone to make a good Catholic! Down but not out Wilber hit the streets once again. The he walked by a Synagogue but it looked closed. Then he saw a light in one of the back offices so he knocked on the door. A Rabbi opened the door and invited him in. Wilber asked if he could join the Synagogue? The Rabbi said sure you can! Wilbur was perplexed? Are you going to ask me any questions? No replied the Rabbi. Wilber asked the Rabbi if he would mind if he asked him a question? Please go right ahead said the Rabbi. Where was Jesus Christ born? The Rabbi responded Bethlehem of course! Wilber replied and said, ” I knew it was in Pennsylvania some place! ” Source; Unknown. Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Why is 1492 A.D. Important? Esdras 6:42 (Apocrypha)
This same year the last of the Muslims were forced out of Spain by the Crusaders! Christopher Columbus set sail for America! This same year the Spanish Inquisition began! Why is all this significant? First Christopher Columbus was a Jew! Throughout his life Columbus showed a keen interest in the Bible and Bible Prophecy! He would often quote Biblical texts in his letters and in his ship logs. Part of the argument that a Book he submitted to the Spanish Monarchs when he sought for his support for his proposed expedition to reach the Indies by sailing west was based on his reading of the Second Book of Esdras 6:42. Columbus interpreted this scripture from the Bible to mean that the earth is made up of six parts of land and one of water. The then world maps showed only 5 continents so Christopher reasoned from the scriptures there was another continent missing on the world maps! So he thought traveling west he would discover this missing continent! If you read the quotes of Columbus he said he did not use science, navigation or mathematics but the scriptures as his guide! The Catholics got a hundred years start on evangelism of South and Central America because they did not reject the Apocrypha from the scriptures as the Protestants did! Towards the end of his life Columbus produced a Book of Prophecies in which his career as an explorer is interpreted in the light of Christian Eschatology and Apocalypticism. On August 3, 1492 the Edict of Expulsion was executed requiring all Jews to leave Spain! On August 2nd Columbus and his crew boarded their ships before midnight and left harbor 1/2 hour before sunrise. His historic journey was also financed with the help of some wealthy Jewish merchants! Spain had been a 2nd home for Jews since 200 A.D. Remember Paul wanted to travel there! There were 800000 Jews living in Spain when the Inquisition began! The Catholic Church in Spain wanted all Jews to convert to Catholicism! Also King Fernando and Isabella wanted to seize the Jewish wealth of Spain! History has shown us that if the Muslims are not around to persecute the Jews the Church is! Christopher was also searching for a land where the Jews could escape persecution! That happened to be America and a land which has always supported Israel! The Apocryphya was a collection of Books published in the original King James Bible of 1611. They were part of the King James Bible for 274 years until they were removed in 1885 A.D. They were inserted between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Here is what Esdras 6:42 says, “Upon the third day thou did command that the waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth; six parts thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled that might serve thee.” KJV 1611 A.D.–1885 A.D. The parts of the Bible that were later thrown out were the GPS navigator’s for Columbus voyage to the New World in 1492! Maybe we should revisit the Apocrypha? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

God Bless President Trump!
Iran has attacked Saudi Arabia oil fields with a loss of 50 percent of their production! Imagine what that would have done to gasoline prices 5 or 10 years ago? Our gasoline prices would have doubled! Trump has worked hard to make us exporters of energy and energy independent! This is paramount to our National Security! Europe will pay a price for backing Iran opposing Trump to get on board to apply pressure to Iran! Their energy prices will rocket! Russia and Iran have people including military in Venezuela right now just waiting to take over their oil fields! Why would the Democrats want to eliminate fossil fuels the largest part of American industry? To make us vulnerable to our enemies is quite crazy? If the Democrats want to go back to the stone age they can take their socialism move to a socialist state such as Cuba, Venezuela or Russia! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Reverence for God!
A Hindu Priest, a Jewish Rabbi and a Tele Evangelist traveled to this same remote village for conversions! There was only one small hotel is this village. They arrived at the hotel about the same time! The hotel clerk told them there was no room in the inn for them! However there is a farmer outside of our village that will sometimes put people up for the night! All three arrived at the farm but the farmer said I have room for two of you so someone will have to sleep in the barn! The Hindu Priest said I am a very humble man so I will sleep in the barn tonight! A little later there was a knock on the door? The priest told the farmer there is a cow in the barn and they are sacred to me! The Jewish Rabbi told the farmer I have no prejudices so I will sleep in the barn! A little later another knock on the door? The Rabbi told the farmer there is a pig in the barn I cannot sleep there! The Tele Evangelist said I will go! God loves everyone! Then another knock on the door? It was the pig and the cow! Joel Osteen
Demon’s Believe in One God! James 2:19
WOW! They believe in one God yet they are not saved! Atheists do not believe there is a God yet the demons do! Could I believe in one God yet not be saved? The demons tremble at the mention of God! Do they give God more respect than most people? So what is missing from their belief? They rebelled against God and got cast out of Heaven! Faith is the key element missing from their belief! Without faith it is impossible to please God! Faith is really trusting God! Some Christian’s say I believe in God yet I do not believe in giving tithes and offerings to support my local church? Faith without works is dead! Demon’s have power to do miracles but not for good works but for evil! (Revelation 16:14) I will quote a partial commentary on James 2:19 from the Matthew Henry Commentary: “Faith is the root, good works are the fruits; and we must see that we have both. This is the Grace of God wherein we stand, and we shall stand to it. There is no middle state. Everyone must live God’s friend, or God’s enemy. Living to God, as is the consequence of faith, which justifies and saves obliges us to do nothing against him, but everything for him and to him.” Comment: Jesus went to the Cross for his Father for he did everything for him and to him! We are the recipients of his love! Our redemption is based on our trusting what Jesus has done for us! Not in our own works but the works of God! Works for good not evil. Our works are only good if God lives in us! This is the work of the Holy Spirit! We oppose evil because God opposes evil! We love the good because God is good! When anyone uses the power of God for evil and perverts the love of God for wickedness Satan takes residency in their lives! That is why one of Jesus biggest ministries was casting out Demons from people! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
God Bless America?
Kate Smith is the latest great American statue to bite the dust! For the political left she was too white and a Christian which is more than they can stand these days! She sang the great patriotic songs that encouraged our nation through World War II. She helped to raise over a billion dollars in war bonds to defeat the Nazi’s and Imperial Japan! Who are the hero’s of the political left? Marx, Engels, Lenin and the socialist who are responsible for over 100 million deaths! Interestingly the Democratic party had a 25 point plan for their discrimination plan in the 1930’s which Hitler adopted! What Hitler did with the plan was scratch out negro wherever it was used in the plan and inserted the word Jew! Why does the left endorse and promote the culture of death even today promoting abortion, homosexuality, lesbianism, sanctuary cities and lawlessness? Why do they promote police brutality? Kill a cop! They are atheists and they oppose the Kingdom of God and promote the Kingdom of Satan! Socialism is theft! Stealing what belongs to others! We do not want to work and earn it ourselves! That would be Godly! So the war rages on against the Kingdom of God and the Easter people Obama and Hillary called of those Christians murdered in Sri Lanka! Political correctness cannot not mention the word Christ! Happy Holidays! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Looking for God? Exodus 3:4
“And when the Lord saw that he turned away to see, experience and understand, God called and invited him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses! Moses! And he said, Here am I.” Commentary: Are you looking for God? Wise men still seek him! Everyone seems to have a different experience about this! I did not look for God until I came to the end of myself! My troubles came because I was not looking for God! People that have found God seem to have even more troubles! However the challenges are very different because you are not alone! Jesus said my yoke is easy my burden is light! Why? Because you have yoked with Jesus and he carries your burdens now! Never alone anymore! Moses soon learned after finding God he would be challenged more than ever before but now his faith was in God and not in himself! Challenges like delivering Israel out of Egypt! Like delivering a couple million stubborn Jews through the Wilderness for 40 years! When God is with you all things are possible! God will take you to a place where you could never go on your own! He will do things through you that would be impossible on your own! He will do miracles in your life greater than the burning bush! He will raise the dead and heal the sick! He is capable of doing more than you could ever think or ask! How and why? Because he is God! Everything you see, experience, taste or feel in this world is possible only because he created you! He formed us at creation like a flash of light yet it seems like it takes us forever to find him! Moses was a refugee not fleeing from his people but longing to go back to them! Forty years on the back side of this desert longing for home! Cut off from his people! Hopeless tending to his sheep much like the shepherds above Bethlehem some three thousand years later! A life with no purpose! Living a life of insignificance! One day blends into another day! Time seems lost! The government has seized him now! He is on trial! They have crucified him on a cross! This ministry is over now! Let us go back to fishing! His body is in the tomb now almost 3 days! We should get some flowers for the tomb! We must hide here for the Romans are looking for us! Keep the door locked! There is a knock on the door? Do not answer it! It sounds like Mary? It is a trick it must be the Romans! She says he has risen! Must we hide from God? Open the door! I will not believe her unless I see the scars on his hands and side! Moses deliver your people! How? By my power, ability and Spirit! They will not believe me! Do you believe me Moses? I have given you my rod of authority! We know you are from God Master for only God can do these miracles! Surely you are the Son of God! Do not touch me for I have not ascended to my Father in Heaven! Wait here for my Holy Spirit which I will send to you to do the same works I have done and ever greater works! Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world! Happy Easter! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
