John Newton the slave trader turned preacher had only two missions! His mission was to break the hard heart and heal the broken heart! He was so bad before his conversion that he got traded himself to a slave ship for punishment! Newton joined William Wilberforce a British Parliament member to abolish the slave trade in the British Empire! Their work culminated with the Slave Trade Act of 1807. It is estimated that his hymn Amazing Grace is sung 10 million times per year over the past 237 years! His hymn has also been at the top of the popular music charts over the centuries! This song was born out of a prayer meeting! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Do You Know That You Know? 1 Kings 13:24
After the death of Solomon the Kingdom of Israel was divided! Rehoboam and Jeroboam were both bad leaders! Jeroboam tried to draw worship away from Jerusalem and Judah by setting up altar’s in the high places around Bethel. Jeroboam himself was trying to offer worship at these altar’s and hired low class people to be Priests! An old Prophet from Judah came over to Jerobaom and warned him not to offer worship from these altars! He did not listen and his arm was rent useless and the altar was rent and the ashes poured out! He asked the old prophet to pray to the Lord to restore his arm again! The old prophet prayed and his arm was restored again! The King was so happy he wanted to reward the prophet! The prophet said no for the Lord told him not to eat bread or drink water from this place! The old prophet rode his donkey back to Judah. Another old prophet from Bethel heard this story and his son’s saddled his donkey and he went out looking for this old prophet of Judah! This prophet of Bethel found this prophet of Judah and told him the Lord spoke to me and you are to go back to Bethel with me and eat bread and drink water? The prophet of Bethel said he was old and also heard from the Lord! So the prophet of Judah went back to Bethel and ate bread and drank water there! On his way back to Judah a lion attacked him and killed him! After this King Jeroboam continued in his evil ways! When God speaks to you you will know that you know! Confirmation by others is alright but if contradictions come to what God has told you follow God! This happened in our call to India from 1980-1983! God spoke to us in dreams and visions. We knew during this time period we were going to the mission field but did not know where? Then God fined tuned the call and in 1983 made it clear it was India. I went to our local Pastor’s in Denver Colorado and they did not seem excited? One Pastor told us we need to go to Bible College for 4 years! Another said he woud pray for us! Another Pastor told us he would send monthly support but never did! None would confirm our calling? I can understand their reluctance! Quit my career job at age 35. A wife with two small children under the age of four! No Bible training? However they did not know i met Jesus on my death bed in 1973! He raised me from the dead! After these dissappointments a short little Pastor by the name of Cho from Korea met us in a church parking lot. He prayed for us for about 30 seconds and told us we would be coming to Korea to be commissioned to India from Korea for three years! He was and still is the Pastor of the largest single church in the world with over one million members! The window opened to India for three years and never opened again! The rest is history! When you hear from God be sure you know that you know! Do not let anyone talk you out of it! If God told you not to go do not let anyone talk you into it! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

I-Pad on the Sky!
I had a dream last night! This was not a dream by some Jihadist dreaming he was trapped on some remote island with 70 virgins! This dream was about Bible Prophecy! In this dream the moon was projecting a focused light on the earth! This light was lighting up the sky of our hemisphere at night. The image against the night sky was like a giant computer screen several hundred miles long and high! Everyone on earth could see this and no one could miss it! Bible verses were being projected on this massive screen! These messages would change from one language to another! I stopped and asked people on the street what all this meant? Some people were excited and some were not just like today! Some people were gathered under tree’s trying to ignore the messages! Hiding from the Tree of Life? No one on earth had mobile devices! There was only one screen in the sky! Was this God’s way of reaching those who were addicted to mobile devices? My Bible says one day every eye shall see and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! God will get it done one way or another! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Democracy
Democracy is finding proximate solutions to insoluble problems! American Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) Comment: Our Founding Father’s recognized the limitations of human government! Problems are created by humans and then attempts to solve by humans! This is why our Constitution has a Spiritual Dimension! Just as the Trinity exists to reconcile man to God so our three branches of government exist to reconcile the governed to the government. Just one of many examples of the Biblical pattern of our Constitution! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Poland Cool Towards The Pope!
I cannot blame them! His liberal policies contradict our Faith! He is begging nations to take in these Islamist from Syria and elsewhere? Our Western leaders may be stupid but they are not! One of the greatest Pope’s that ever lived came out of Poland! But Pope Francis? No Thanks! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Are the Crusades coming back?
An 84 year old French Priest just got his throat slit by a Islamic Jihadist! The Crusades in Europe were about Christians rising up to defend the slaughter of their cultures by Islamic Jihadists! It was a defense against Muslim invaders! Bad politics by European leaders and also American leaders allowed these Jihadist to enter their cultures! The purpose of any government is to protect her citiizens! They have failed miserably! The population will only take this slaughter so long then they will turn on these Jihadists with civil war! No government will be able to stop this because the people will turn on the government if they try! This is exactly what the Jihadist want! This is their goal! They want to import Syria and Iraq into Europe and America! Obama is really helping them by importing thousands of Syrian refugees into America! The very millions of refugees he created by pulling American troops out of Iraq! The bottom line is Obama is helping Islamists spread Islam! Really sad and tragic for the civilized world! Thankyou.

Is God in the Darkness? 1 Kings 8:12
“Then spoke Solomon, the Lord said that He would dwell in the thick darkness!” Does this scripture sound contradictory? I thought God was light? If it does it is only because of the English word darkness used in this passage! The Hebrew translation is the word cloud! Like a cloud covering the Tabernacle or Temple manifesting God’s presence. Clouds bring rain and life! Now let us take the same English word darkness used in Genesis 1:2. “And darkness was upon the face of the deep.” The Hebrew root word is a completely different word than used in the Book of Kings! The word means destruction, misery, ignorance, sorrow and wickedness! This is just one more example for the case to be made that people who really want to study the Bible need a Hebrew-Greek study Bible! Without this helpful study tool you can miss-interpret the Bible and end up with bad theology! I never want to live or die with the wrong idea about God and His Christ! Thankyou.

Christian / Islamic Wars September 11, 1683
The Polish Army under King John Sobieski III reached the heights over viewing Vienna! In top secrecy and in a downpour of rain and lightnings more than 30000 winged hussars and dragoons climbed the steep slopes of Kahlenberg and deployed their formations and cannons on top of the mountains! On the next day a massive artillery barrage with tens of thousands of bullets and shells per hour from muskets and cannons hit the Islamic invaders! At 1800 hours John Sobieski III gives the order to attack to 20000 heavy riders and personally charges at the head of the assault! The Islamic Ottoman army was defeated! Although it took many more centuries and war efforts from a united Europe, the Battle of Vienna broke the back of Jihad and proved to be the beginning of the end of the Islamic occupation of the Christian world!

77 Virgins!
I had a dream last night! I appeared on a beach on a south pacific island! I was sitting on the beach in a lounge chair under a coconut tree. I was watching the tide come in over the pure white sand beach. The sound of the surf and the green colored ocean water was so majestic. Then i heard music in the distance? This island must be inhabited! The music got louder and louder and then i saw seven beautiful young Polynesian girls singing and dancing along the shore line. They were playing their yukalalee’s and swaying to the music! They wore grass skirts and covered their breasts with banana leaves! Then they came over to me and danced around me serenading me with music and dance! As they danced their grass skirts brushed against my face! All i could see were belly buttons! One of the girl’s gave me a cold glass of coconut juice! The island flowers in their hair scented the air with a beautiful fragrance! I was almost in a hypnotic state! One girl took a banana from between her breasts and gave it to me! I though surely i must have died and gone to Heaven? Then i remembered the Muslims talking about 70 virgins coming to them when they do Jihad! How come i only got seven? Who is holding out on me? I asked the girls how many virgins are on this island? They told me seventy seven? Then they told me there are only two men on this island! You and a Muslim! Then i saw a man running down the beach frantically running from 70 women! The were the ugliest women i had ever seen and they were naked! No wonder they are virgins! The bearded Middle Eastern man began to shout and yell as he passed by us! Allah you son of a bitch! Mohammad you bastard! The girls told me he completely circles the island about every 3 days with these ugly women in chase! I felt sorry for him but i have to take care of my Polynesian girls! Thankyou. James Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Democracy?
The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter! Winston Churchill (1874-1965) Comment: It is the best human institution on earth however remember Hitler was democratically elected! Sharia law is replaced some institutions in Europe? If the bad guys are in majority they elect bad guys! The last and lasting system of government will be a Theocracy with Christ to rule and rein over the entire earth with perfect justice!
