These are the words of Jesus spoken from the Book of John! This is not my opinion! These words spoken by Jesus here are also confirmed by other scriptures including the Old Testament! The truth spoken here by Jesus here says that all will be raised from the dead! The believers and unbelievers! I believe this truth is forgotten in most Easter Messages! We forget the Bible applies to everyone whether you believe it or not! The righteous raised to everlasting life and the unrighteous raised to judgment and the second death or lake of fire! This truth makes the Salvation message even more important! Most of the 21 Century preaching today is a soft petal message of Jesus! Jesus was a lamb at His first coming but will be a lion at His second coming! How does a culture try to deny the truth about what Jesus said in this scripture in John? If you try to deny the grave then you could avoid any resurrection! Right? Three ways those at war with God in American culture do this! First they deny the existence of God! Atheism which includes Darwinism and evolution and the junk science that tries to validate it! Second the grave is denied through abortion! To abort a baby in the womb and cut it to pieces and sell the body parts is to deny this soul’s existence! No grave no resurrection! Abortion is also about money! Money is the root of all evil! Sadly millions of dollars of our tax money is used to do these atrocities on millions of children! Cremation is also a denial of the soul and the grave! Cremation is promoted as a method to save money? Save it for abortion! If you have no body you have no grave! War itself is a denial of the human soul and the sanctity of life! Islam claims it is their duty to kill Christian’s and Jews? Cut their heads off and separate the body and deny the grave! They also claim it is their job to eradicate a whole race of people in Israel? Hitler echoed the same words! He used cremation on 6 million! Rather than try to deny life and the grave would it not be better that your eternity is predicated on what you do with Jesus Christ! When the train blows the whistle and you are not on board it will be too late! Happy Easter! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Offering and Worship! Genesis Chapter 22
Are they the same? God told Abraham to offer his son Isaac up for a burnt offering on Mount Moriah! Moriah means God will provide! The word offering here means to rise up or lift up! The word is usually associated with morning! Those who love me seek me early! It is used in a sense of going up. However the word is not used in the sense of intimacy! So what is a burnt offering? It is not your wife’s cooking! It means to ascend up like smoke! Remember an offering is something we do! Your tithes and offerings is something you do and God requires it of us! So what is worship? I am glad you asked! The word worship used in the Old Testament was first used in Genesis 22:2. The word means to bow down! Just the opposite of offering! It means to prostrate oneself! It means to fall upon your knees and touch your head to the ground! However after the Cross the New Testament concept of worship is different! We still bow down in prayer in submission! The Greek word used has a new dimension! Worship used here means to dwell together in union and completion! Now God takes possession of you! You are no longer your own! People are either God possessed or demon possessed! No middle ground here! Half and half is a milk product! Worship means to lean towards Him and be partial towards Him! No one will ever be able to talk you out of or persecute you out of partiality towards Him! This is the New Testament concept of worship! In the Old Testament it was always worship from afar! After the Cross now God has His dwelling place in us! The Holy smoke is inside of us! Since His son Jesus made the sacrifice for our sin the walls of partition are broken down! Worship is now an inside job! Greater is He who is in me than He who is in the world! He works His righteousness in you by dwelling in you! This is what born again is all about! Let us think about this as Easter approaches! Jesus early in the morning bowed down in the garden of Gethsemane and worshiped! Then He was lifted up on high on a Cross on Mount Calvary! Jesus died once so that you would only die once and escape the second death! Your Salvation includes many things! Freedom from guilt, death, hell and the resurrection to judgment! The resurrection to everlasting life and His power residing in you cannot be compared with anything this world has to offer! The promises the world makes to you will perish with the world! My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness! If you submit and let Jesus take control of your life nothing that preceded this new reality will ever compare! Happy Easter!

Good Success? Joshua 1:8
To start off the new year we need to know what good success is? The word means to be prudent! To act in wisdom, insight and devotion! When you add circumspect with intelligence you find good success! T.D. Jakes once said if you have good success then it is possible to have bad success! What would be bad success? Living your life out of the purpose and will of God! Remember good success is conditional! The scriptures must not depart out of your mouth! You must meditate on the scriptures day and night! Follow the scriptures by living them out in your life! Trust Jesus and not the world! Also remember that God is still giving you the success! Happy New Year! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
How To Be Happy?
An elderly lady was very rich but very lonely! She lived so long all her family had passed on! So she went down to the local pet shop and asked the owner what would be a good pet to give her company? The pet shop owner told her she needed to get a parrot. So she bought a parrot and brought him home. She was very disappointed because the parrot did not talk? She went back to the pet store and complained to the owner! The owner told her every parrot needs a mirror in his cage. So she bought a mirror. Another two weeks went by and still no talking? She went back to the pet store again! The owner told her every parrot needs a swing in his cage! The widow bought a swing and installed in the parrot cage! Two weeks later the widow went back to the pet shop and told the owner her parrot died! The pet store owner was shocked and grieved for the parrot! He asked the lady if the parrot said anything at all before he died? The widow told him yes he did speak! Just before the parrot died he asked me if they had any food down at that pet store?

Happy Father’s Day!

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
Revelation For 2014
As the year closes out I try to look back and see the greatest revelation given to me by my daily personal Bible reading and study. This is not revelation from other ministries which is important also because no one has the corner market on revelation for it is spread across His Body the Church! Here is the highlight for me from God’s Word for 2014. What we see on earth was first in Heaven! Happy New Year! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
The Gift of Grandchildren!

Happy Easter! 2014
God raised His Son Jesus Christ from the dead and gave us a spouse for the wedding of His Bride, “The Church!” If you are a Bride of the Church of Jesus Christ you have a spouse that will never leave you or forsake you from yesterday, today and forever!

Can You Make A Teenager Happy!
God can raise the dead but He cannot make a teenager happy! If you try you will burn out! Love them and leave them to their own devices. They will figure it out in their early twenties! I raised four of them and experience most of the time is the best teacher! I remember an old Burt Reynold’s movie back in the 1970’s. In this movie Burt and his buddy were robbing gas stations for a living. In those days the gas stations were not self-service but had an attendant to fill your tank, check your oil and wash your windshield. Burt was in the driver’s seat and his friend a passenger in the right front seat. Burt pulled up to the station and an old cranky man came up to Burt’s window and asked him what he wanted? Burt said it is surely a lovely day out here! The old cranky attendant said I do not think so. Burt said fill my tank up! Attendant finishes filling tank comes back to Burt and says give me ten dollars. Burt asked him if he could wash his front window glass? Attendant say’s No! Burt say’s you know something, I am tired of trying to make you happy! Burt pulls out his pistol and tell’s attendant to fill his bag with money from his cash register in his office! Attendant seems compliant and goes into his office where the cash register is and then brings a double barrel shotgun out! Burt hits the gas, squeals his tires as the attendant fires two blasts into the trunk of their car as they leave the station! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
