Isaiah 11:2 (Hebrew Translation) “And the breath of the Lord shall rest on Him, the spirit of knowledge, intelligence, insight, judgment and prudence, the spirit of advice and might, the spirit of understanding and perception and reverence and worship to the Lord.” Comment: Does it get any better than this? Isaiah wrote this scripture about 600 years before the birth of Christ! Yet Jesus fulfilled this scripture to the letter! The word “Spirit” in the Hebrew Language translates “The breath of the Lord.” Remember at creation God breathed the breath of life into us! We were created in the image or imagination of God! Albert Einstein said that intelligence is not measured by the acquisition of knowledge but by imagination! God’s imagination is consummated by His breath or words! In the beginning was the word——- At Pentecost His breath as a mighty rushing wind swept over the disciples. You will do one of two things with the breath He has given you! You will either praise Him or curse Him! Many curse Him but a remnant praise Him! God’s patience is beyond measure and without His patience I would have been lost! The Old Testament made the New Testament possible! God never changes but we need to change! People can change but God never does! He is the same yesterday, today and forever! That is why we can trust Him! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Two Destinies! Genesis 3:1
“Now the hissing creature was more cunning and crafty than any of the created beings in the field God the creator, ruler and judge had made.” Comment: Remember the Jews again murmured against God in Numbers 21:9. The serpent called God a liar! Moses constructed a brass serpent upon a pole for the people to look at after they were bitten by the fiery serpent in judgment by God! Why? God had instructed Moses to do this to save the people! Remember the brass serpent is an image and not the fiery serpent! We were created in the image of God but we are not God! There are religions today such as Islam that make themselves God and decide who should live and who should die! Remember Lucifer was at one time Heaven’s choir leader and highly ranked in Heaven! He is a created being and rebelled against God and was cast out of Heaven down to the earth! His image on a brass pole represented his position and condition before his fall. He was pure and Holy at one time! His pure condition represented by the brass serpent delivered the Jews from same fallen serpent! Any Savior has to be greater than those saved! We cannot be like God unless we are restored to the previous estate of no sin! Jesus has made this possible for us! The wars on planet earth are between the Image of God and the Image of Satan! We have to chose the right side of this war! Adam and Eve had to chose between two tree’s! Today there are still two tree’s in the midst of the garden! One tree looks good to the eyes and the fruit is pleasant but is deceptive and leads to death! The other tree has life in it and healing for the nations and mercy but does not appeal to the carnal nature! Christ was hung on a pole or Cross and took your place in His death and resurrection! He took your punishment for your sin and rebellion! Your image is restored and now you live in the Image of God as first intended at creation! You now live as if you had never sinned!

The Incarnation! Philippians 2: 5-8
These are the ten creatures science has already created! Genetically modified cattle with human DNA. Human mouse hybrids with freekishly large brains. Rats with human kidneys. Hunanized milk producing goats. Mice with human anal splinters. Rabbit eggs with human cells. Pigs with human blood. Sheep with human livers. Cow eggs with human cells. Cat-human hybrid cells. Comment: Cannibalism could be alive and well at your local grocery store! Normally two species need to be in the same family and have enough generic material for the sperm and egg to recognize each other. That is why a cat and a dog cannot cross breed! The horse and the donkey are in the same family so they can cross breed. It is not necessary for animals to have the same number of chromosomes to cross bread! The horse and donkey have different numbers of chromosomes. However the mule and the hinny cannot reproduce because their sex cells are sterile! So where does this lead us? A science report like this cannot help me but to think of the incarnation! If God did create everything then He is the DNA pool. I would love to have Jesus DNA sample! Because He lives within believers His genes are in us and His love, peace and joy flows out of us! Born again! If God did create man and we were created in His image then we are of the same family and cross breeding would be possible! Most theology says Jesus was 100 percent man and 100 percent God! When we look at science then why would the incarnation be so difficult for most to comprehend or believe? Science and faith will always compliment each other! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Idols! 1 Chronicles 16:26
Hebrew translation: “For all the gods of the people are as shepherds over worthless things! They are as physicians attending corpses! Good for nothing! Vanity! No purpose! But the Lord built the heavens with purpose!” Comment: So what are you a shepherd over in your life? Is in something of eternal value? Will it continue on after you leave the earth? If you cannot take it with you it is an idol. Will the family you leave on earth shepherd over things of value? Anything of eternal value will outlast you! God built the heavens with you as the purpose in mind! Are you supporting His purpose? Your purpose is to mirror His Image! We were not created in our own image but the image of God! God’s purpose from before the beginning was to deliver us from evil. That is why Christ pre-existed creation! Sin will always lead us to worship idols! Why? We would rather trust in ourselves than the work of God! When i came to Christ back in 1973 everything changed! It was no longer about me but about Christ and others! He did for me what i could not do for myself! Deliver me from evil! That is Grace! Men try to build empires, organizations and name them after themselves! Until we find the name and Savior that is above every name we will serve idols! Jesus has promised to raise you from the dead one day! After you are gone from the earth you cannot raise your idols! You have only two options! Believe Jesus or trust in yourself! Serve God or an idol. The worst idol you could ever invent is yourself! Serve God and others! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Mary’s Song of Praise! Luke 2:51
“He hath showed strength with his arm, He hath scattered those that have turned their backs on Him in the image of their hearts!” Comment: Notice God scatters them! Remember Israel’s captivity? Like Refugee’s! Why would people turn their backs on God? Probably many reasons but the bottom line is they have the wrong image of God in their hearts! Remember we were created in the image or imagination of God! However the image breaker Satan is very busy! Satan tries to break the image of God in your heart! He tries through deception and lies to paint a bad picture of God to you! Christmas is important for this shows us God’s love for us! Being born for us and dying for us cannot create a better picture of God’s love for you! When we find the true image of God and His love for us then we want to love God and try to be like Him! The true image of God is expressed in the birth of His only Son Jesus Christ and the reasons He has come to earth just for you! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Imagination! Genesis 1:26
Imagination rules the world! Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) Comment: Why did Donald Trump win the presidency? Imagination! He had a bigger imagination for America than all his opponents! It is interesting that Napoleon sold the Louisiana Territory known as the Louisiana Purchase to the United States for 15 million dollars! He used this money to fund his military exploits! During Napoleon’s final years in exile on Saint Helena he devised escape plans involving balloons, submarines and ships with collapsible masts! He was still using his imagination! Have you tried using the imagination God has given you? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Ten Sons of Israel 1 Chronicles 2:1
The ten sons of Israel are Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulon, Dan, Joseph, Gad and Asher. When you add the meanings of each name together you get an interesting image! Israel means He will rule as God. Reuben means to see a nation. Simeon means to listen intelligently. Levi means to unite and remain. Judah means to revere and worship as to open one’s hands. Issachar means He will bring a reward. Zebulon means a habitation. Dan means to rule and judge. Joseph means to add and multiply. Gad means a troop or army. Asher means to be straight, right, honest and prosperous. So when you add these images together who do you see? I see a picture of Jesus Christ! How about you? What image do people see in you and me? Are these characteristics inherent in us? I hope so! God Bless! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Why Did Hitler Hate The Jews?
There is in fact no way of thinking about the world, says Hitler, which allows us to see each other as human beings. Any idea which allows us to see each other as human beings comes from the Jews! Hitler believed the only way for the world to revert back to it’s natural order was through brutal racial competition so the Jews stood in the way of his ideology. Timothy Snyder, Black Earth; The Holocaust as History and Warning. Comment: Hitler claimed he was a Christian to get elected to power. Hitler was correct that the Bible written by Jews clearly explains Creation as all men created in the Image of God! Those who believed and followed the Bible would oppose racism and resist Hitler’s ideology! Mohammed who wrote the Quran has the same problem with Christian’s and Jews! The Jews and Christianity brings unity and stability to the world and opposes Islam’s efforts for world conquest! Those who accept Christ are not forced to do so! Islam uses death and threat of life to reject it! During World War II Arabic Language radio broadcasts out of Berlin encouraged Muslim’s to join Hitler in the fight against Western allies! Millions joined! I will in another article quote Hitler to explain Hitler’s delight with Islam. Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Intelligence Test
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination! Albert Einstein Comment: Remember the Bible says we were created in the Image of God! We were created in the imagination of God! To see my kids and grandkids I must conclude God has a big imagination! When God gave me a revelation last year about the fact that everything seen here on earth was first in Heaven I found out later a great Theologian concluded this hundreds of years ago! All great inventions come through imagination! However remember all inventions were first in Heaven! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Women on American Currency?
This is the latest push to give an image of equality. Why is there no woman image on American currency? One opinion is that they spend the money so fast you could never find any money to stamp an image on! Another thought is we simply have not had a woman president yet. If Hillary Clinton should become president we need to place her on our currency according to her value! Her image should be placed on our penny! Obama should go on our two dollar bill after he leaves office! I do not like to see our currency devalued but in the name of equality we could all end up in the poor house! Politically incorrect speech but true. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
