Run The Race To Win ! 1 Corinthians 9:24

Here is a quote from Theodore Roosevelt given to us by Pastor Brady Boyd at New Life Church on Sunday March 9, 2014. Quote; “It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man may stumble, or where the doer’s of good deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do good deeds; who knows great enthusiasm, great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid soul’s who neither know victory nor defeat!” Thankyou.

Hall of Fame or Hall of Flame? Matthew 11:11, 19:25

Jesus said in Matthew 11:11, “Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist notwithstanding he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he!” Comments; John the Baptist had a very important role in prophecy to usher in Christ. He as we have had plenty of opportunities to deny Christ and he could have saved his neck from Herod’s chopping block! But his mission was bigger than himself! Is your mission bigger than yourself? Or is your mission all about you? Later on in Matthew 19:25, Jesus explained to his disciples that it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven! The disciples threw in the towel and gave up and asked Jesus who can be saved? Jesus explained to them that with man it is impossible but with God all things are possible! I have learned over the years that sometimes our evangelism efforts seem not to work but when we turn people over to God and not play God great things happen! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

Russia And Ukraine In Bible Prophecy !

Can anyone stop Bible Prophecy? Can you stop the sun from rising in the east? Why would you want to stop it anyway? Satan would and has tried and is trying with much of the world with him! Satan has tried through killing Jews, Christians and through drugs, abortions, gambling and other crimes against humanity. But even Satan and his actions including putting Christ on a Cross fulfill Bible Prophecy! Even some Christians do not want Bible prophecy to come to pass so they can build their own Kingdoms! If you had a choice would you want Jesus to come back today and take over the world? How you answer this question would tell you a lot about who you are? if you are building God’s Kingdom you have nothing to worry about! It is very hard to make a long story short here! The reason it is so hard is because Bible prophecy is the main story of history. In Genesis 10: 1-2, you will find the genealogy of the sons of Noah. These references are also included in 1 Chronicles 1:1-5. Meshech is the Hebrew term where came the word Moscow. Tubal is considered to be associated with Russian people. Three times in the Old Testament the expression, “The prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.” (Ezekiel 38;2, 39:1) Here is one of them that also mentions Gog and Magog; Gog and the land of Magog, the prince of Ros, Meshech and Tubal. Ross is the ancient Hebrew name Russ(blondes), who settled in the plains of ancient eastern Europe. They gave their name to the Russian nation. The official name of the Russian Federation(ROSSIYSKAYA FEDERATSIYA), bears the name similar to the Hebrew word Rosh. David writes in Psalm 120; “Woe is me that I sojourn in Mesech!” Islamic writings identify Ros as the son of Japheth. According to Mohammed writings he is the eldest son of Noah. They call him Aboultierk and ascribe him as one of the eleven sons who is Ros of the Russians. Those in Ukraine seem to have ties with the Medes. The nation of Georgia is made up of people called Iberians. The capital of Georgia is Tbilisi. This word is believed to have come from the word Tubal. People of Georgia claim to have descended from the great grandson of Japheth named Kartlos whose father has claimed to be Togarmah of Genesis 10:3. The Medes were once in the land of Media which was near Persia (modern Iran). The Bible uses the terms Medes and Persians five times. One example is Daniel 5:28. Remember in Acts 2:8-11 when the Medes are mentioned? The Medes and the Russians have a shared history. Today and in the future you are seeing the re-gathering of the Medes and the Persians in power surrounding Israel! If you read Daniel 8: 9-12, you will see this detailed. Russia and Iran will be the big players in these last days to battle against Israel and then lose! Eastern Europe and Western Europe have become dependent on Russian energy! Ukraine gets all of it’s natural gas from Russia. Russia is expanding power over Europe as America diminishes in influence over Europe. Russia along with China is building their military while for political reasons America is diminishing her military. We are not developing our oil and gas resources in America and cannot offer Europe an alternative. The case is closed as Bible Prophecy plays out! As we raise our kids, pay our mortgages and work our jobs it is easy to forget Bible Prophecy! Also many Christians are living in Ukraine and Russia and are suffering! Let us not forget them and pray for them. Remember in Christ you are on the right side of history regardless of the times or seasons! In Christ’s Love. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Sharing Your Faith With Others! Matthew 7:6

I love the balance the scriptures provide to us! We are commanded by Christ to go our into all the world to preach the Gospel or good news! However Jesus did not send us out to get blind sided by Satan! Jesus said in Matthew 7:6, “Give not that which is Holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you!” The word Holy here means someone physically pure or a moral person. The word rend means to tear in pieces. Jesus is reminding us to be wise with the beauty He has given us. We know that the world is one third Christian. If the entire world has heard about Christ and made a decision for Him or have rejected Him then one out of three has accepted Him and two out of three have rejected Him. I wish our evangelism programs were this good! Bottom line is we need the whole council of God and the entire Bible both Old and New Testament gives us an important balance to our Faith as we live for Him! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

Ukraine Priests Take Stand On Firing Line!

Yes, Ukrainian Priests are joining the revolt against Russian rule and are fighting for independence! Did you know that of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence 27 of them were trained Pastors! There was also a great revival going on in the Colonies at that time. Did you also know that the first shots fired in the American revolution were fired by Pastors and church members! Let me quote American History for you: On April 19, 1775, British troops, some 800 strong, were dispatched to Concord, Massachusetts, to arrest Sam Adams and John Hancock and to seize a cache of weapons stored in Concord. When Dr. Joseph Warren sent Paul Revere to warn Pastor Jonas Clark (in whose house Adams and Hancock were staying) that the Crown’s troops were on their way to arrest the two men and seize the guns at Concord, he alerted the Church members of about 60-70 men from the Church of Lexington. The Church members stood on Lexington Green waiting for the Red Coats. Upon spotting the citizen soldiers a British officer demanded they lay down their arms. They refused and the British opened fire! The colonist returned fire and eight were killed and there begins the shot heard round the world! Unquote. History is filled with Christians fighting for freedom! Pastor Martin Luther King was probably the greatest freedom fighter in my generation! If you study our Declaration of Independence you will see it is full of Bible Theology and has a Biblical foundation! Our prayers for the Ukrainian people and their struggle for Independence from tyranny and Dependence upon God! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Snake Bit Pastor Dies!

First of all our condolences to the Jamie Coots family! I believe he is in Heaven but I also believe he has misinterpreted scripture! It is an easy thing to do. Our prayers are for his son Cody that he not follow this same path. It is not easy to tell any son his father is wrong! Let me explain why I think he was wrong. Luke 10:19. A snake is a physical manifestation of the spirit of Satan! Jesus gives us power over Satan. This power is not proven by picking up snakes but is demonstrated by victory over sin! When Jesus was tempted or tested by Satan in Luke 4:12 and Matthew 4:7, He said you shall not test the Lord thy God! In Deuteronomy 6:16 it says, “You shall not test or tempt the Lord thy God as you tested Him in Massah.” In Isaiah 7:12 it says, “But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt or test the Lord.” In Matthew 6:13 Jesus said in the Lord’s prayer, “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.” The word temptation (Strongs 3986), from the Greek means ; put to the test. In Psalm 26:2 David is praying to God and the word try here means to purify me as gold in the fire. In Psalm 139:23 David is asking God to test him. The word test as used in Malachi 3:10 (Strongs 974) (Bachan), refers to God testing humanity. The point here is we do not test God! When we sin we test God! God will test us and Satan will test us! The victory comes when we are tested and Trust God at His Word! Ed Cole used to say, “Any truth carried to an extreme becomes an untruth!” I can test God if I do something foolish and expect God to rescue me! Let me give you some examples. Lord I want to go to hell so in your name I can cast out demons and get all these people to Heaven! You could not do it but I can! I know a man in Macon Georgia who went into the night clubs to save people. He is a drunk today! Lord let me go and lay with this prostitute so I can save her! Tempting God? Yes! Thankyou.

Back Off! Exodus 3:5

Take off your shoes for you are standing on Holy Ground! What man made thing is separating you from God? Source; Jon Egan, Executive Pastor of Worship, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Comment; The word “Ground”, is translated from the Hebrew to mean the clay or earth God used in the creation of man. Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Charles Lindberg Goes Green!

American hero Charles Lindberg was prohibited from joining the Army Air Forces by President Franklin Roosevelt because his loss in combat would be unacceptable to America. Charles did not give up easily so in 1942 he stowed away in a cargo ship headed for the South Pacific. He then hitches a ride on a small boat to a remote Pacific island where a squadron of P-38 fighters were stationed. He watches a mechanic work on a P-38 fighter along the beach of the island. The mechanic asked Charles what his name was and how did he get on this island? He replied my name is Charles and I arrived on a small boat. The mechanic got nervous and went to his Commanding Officer. The mechanic reported this guy showing up behind his back like a bat out of hell while he was repairing his P-38! The Commanding Officer checked out Charles and determined he was not a spy but Charles Lindberg. They gave Charles a private tent with Kerosene lanterns so he could study his P-38 design documents at night. Charles studied every aspect of the P-38 aircraft during the daylight. Then Charles asked the CO if he could take the P-38 on a test flight? The CO was nervous because if Charles were killed in a flight accident his head would roll! Charles got permission and away he went on P-38 test flights. To make a long story short Charles figured out how to double the effective combat range of the P-38 fighter from 900 miles to 1800 miles. This caught the Japanese by surprise as American pilots could now reach deep behind Japanese forward bases and destroy much of their war materials. These changes in flight procedures on the P-38 were applied to all squadrons in the South Pacific and to the European theater. Charles flew one combat mission in a P-38 and shot down a Japanese Zero fighter. So Charles not only saved a lot of fuel but many lives as the war concluded sooner. Comment; America was and is made great by her people! If you are new to America or an immigrant you need to study American history and follow the lead of great Americans! There are millions like Charles! The mechanic was also important to victory in World War II. Do not depend on the government for welfare but apply your mind God has given you to invent things that make other people’s lives better! I will never forget a wall plaque in a rest stop along the I-95 Northeast corridor. This plaque contained a quote by Thomas Edison. He said,”Lord let me not have one invention unless it helps someone else.” I like the definition of work given by a Jewish Rabbi. He said,”Work is making someone’s life better!” Welfare is destructive while work brings out God’s creativity in each of us! God will save America if we will follow His ways! Thankyou.
