Prayer! Matthew 21:13

Some people think that prayer means asking for things, and if they fail to receive exactly what they ask for, then they think the whole thing is a fraud! Gerald Vann (1906-1963), British Catholic Theologian, Author of 24 Books. Comment: Prayer is really fellowship with God! Fellowship with the Father through His Son! You remember some of Jesus words! Father forgive them for they know not what they do! Father if possible let this cup pass from me nevertheless not my will but Thy will be done! We can pray for the stuff but it will perish one day! I can pray for the sick which is good but they will die one day! The fellowship with our Father through Jesus will last forever! We pray expecting but according to the will of God! All Jesus disciples were martyred except John who was boiled in oil and sentenced to a slave labor camp stone quarry on the island of Patmos where he wrote the Book of Revelation! Some in the church today might think they were out of the will of God because they did not die rich with a lot of stuff? Success is more than stuff! The Gold Standard for success with God is to love others and sacrifice yourself for their benefit! What are our prayers like? Lord I am a sinner forgive me as my Savior! Lord forgive them and forgive me! Do we continue to fellowship and worship God through prayer in Heaven? What is Jesus doing right now in Heaven? He is interceding for the Saints here on earth! Satan has no prayer life and is separated from God! The Old Testament Hebrew word for prayer means to intercede for someone else! Jesus is following this pattern in Heaven today! One of the Greek words for prayer in the New Testament means to ask for a specific benefit from God! Send your Holy Spirit and dwell in me! Whatever the benefit it is to benefit others! Pray more for souls and less for stuff! What will be our prayer in Heaven? Praying for those here on earth! Why not start today? An American Pastor Charity and Ruth Harris ministered to us in a church in Denver Colorado back in the 1970’s for two years. They have spent over 40 years on the Mission field in Africa! They build hundreds of Tabernacle churches in the remote villages of Africa! Charity is now old in a nursing home legally blind. What is he doing today there? Praying for others including my family and preparing himself through prayer for Heaven! No one on earth can bestow a greater honor on you than to lift your name up to the Son and to the Father! Jesus said my House shall be called a House of prayer and not a den of thieves! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Evolution versus Creation! Genesis 1:1

“In the nineteenth Century many Anglican Theologians, both evangelical and Catholic, embraced positively the proposal of evolution” Arthur Peacocke (1924-2006), Biochemist and Theologian. Comment: He tried in vain to reconcile evolution with creation! Here is a quote from Charles Darwin (1809-1882); “During these two years I was led to think much about religion, while I was on board the Beagle I was quite orthodox and I remember being laughed at by several of the officers (though themselves orthodox), for quoting the Bible as an unanswerable authority on some point of reality. I suppose it was the novelty of the argument that amused them, but I had come gradually, by this time, to see the Old Testament from its manifestly false history of the world, with the Tower of Babel, rainbow as a sign, ect., ect., and from the attributes of God the feeling of a revengeful tyrant, was no more to be trusted than the sacred books of the Hindus, or the beliefs of any barbarian.” Here is a quote from John Dewey (1859-1952), “It (modern philosophy), certainly exacts a surrender to all supernaturalism and fixed dogma and rigid institutionalism with which Christianity has been historically associated.” Both Darwin and Dewey were both atheists yet considered the founders of modern Public Education here in America? With theologians jumping on board with the evolutionists it is easy to see how it became a foundation for public education! Creation and evolution are opposed to each other and can never be reconciled! Theologians have tried and we get the gap theory and many other attempts to reconcile! It is like trying to reconcile Heaven and Hell. It is dancing with the Devil. When you divorce God from science what do you get? Junk science! True science will always support scripture! We have fake news today and have had fake science for generations! Darwin came up with a model for our existence however the only way it would work was to exclude God! A fool as said in his heart there is no God! The tragedy here is this false system is taught to our children from primary grades through college! Science has come a long way since Darwin, Dewey and Peacocke! Today we know the age of the earth, planets, sun, moon and stars are all the same age! This fits the creation model in Genesis 1:1. We learn new things from science everyday however without Faith it is impossible to please God! If you trust God and not lean on your own understanding things will work out and you see scriptures validated! The most destructive thing we can do is take Faith in God away from our children! We have requested from President Trump to nationalize school vouchers so that private schools will grow and Faith re-established to our children! Here are some statistics from the Department of Education for 2016. Thirty two million Americans cannot read! Twenty percent of all graduating high school students cannot read! This is what billions of dollars of your tax dollars has accomplished! When the Bible was the text book for colonial America the literacy rate was 98 percent! So where does public education go next? Normalizing and promoting homosexual behavior, lesbians, transsexuals and Islam! Teaching other languages other than English and works overtime to destroy the Jewish-Christian model for living! The left wing of the Democrat Party is behind these promotions of evil. Where will it end if we stay on present course? Hell. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Burned at the Stake! 1415 A.D. Hebrews 11:35

Hebrews 11:35 (Greek Translation) “Women received their dead standing on their feet again and others were tortured not receiving kindness with joy and redemption from sinners that they might obtain a stronger more powerful resurrection.” Comment: Could an early resurrection from martyrdom be stronger than a later one from natural death? Absolutely! Why? Jesus resurrection was the most powerful one because it required the most forgiveness! All the inhabitants of earth from Adam and Eve until now and for all that will ever be born were forgiven by God for their sin! We all put Jesus on the Cross! The greater the resurrection the greater the forgiveness required! Here is a quote from John Hus the Czech Reformer who was burned at the stake in 1415. “O’ Lord Jesus Christ, into thy hands I deliver my soul, which thou has redeemed with thy blood. Father in Heaven, do not hold against them the sin which thy enemies commit against me, and let my eyes see them blissfully with thee, when their souls fly to thy throne after an easy death. Holy Spirit, enlighten their deceived hearts, so that the truth of the Holy Gospel may open their eyes and it’s praise be spread everywhere, forever and ever! Amen.

War & Faith!

“In my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength!” Robert E. Lee (1807-1870) Comment: Can we start on the wrong side of history and end up on the right side of history? If the truth be known we all started on the wrong side of history! Otherwise no one would need to be saved! Ask the thief on the Cross! Today there are billions of people on the Cross in the valley of decision! Millions will get saved! My favorite example of a thief done straight is John Newton! You remember his song, “Amazing Grace.” He was captain of his own slave ship! Then in the midst of a storm on the sea when they were about to perish God showed him how wicked he was! He repented and returned to Liverpool England and joined a small church. This is where he wrote his famous hymn! In 1787 he wrote a book, “Thoughts upon the African Slave Trade.” This book helped William Wilberforce a Parliament member over a 20 year period abolish the slave trade! Will tearing down confederate statues help America? No! For they remind us we all need a Savior! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Hitler Admirer!

“Hitler is one of the greatest men, the old trust him, the young idolize him. It is the worship of a National hero who has served his country….Within a few years, Adolf Hitler will emerge from the hatred which surrounds him and will be one of the most significant figures that ever lived!” John F. Kennedy, Prelude to Leadership, The European Diary of John F. Kennedy, 1937-1945, Regnery Publishing Company Inc., Washington D.C., Page 74.

How Did The Apostle John Decrease? John 3:30

John was arrested in Ephesus when his enemies threw him into a pot of boiling oil. However John was miraculously delivered from death! The authorities then sentenced him to a slave labor camp in the marble mines of Patmos! On this island on the Aegean Sea John under impossible odds had a vision of Jesus Christ and wrote the Prophetic Book of Revelation! John years later was freed due to his old age and returned to Ephesus in now modern day Turkey. He died an old man sometime after 98 A.D. He was the only Apostle to die peacefully! Comment: If we will decrease Jesus will increase! Most 21st Century Christians think of decreasing as missing a meal now and then or even a whole day! When you find yourself in a pot of boiling oil up to your neck you could easily think I am having a bad day! Especially when the local natives are cutting up vegetables and putting them in your pot! To be sentenced to a slave labor camp on a remote island under Roman guards in a stone quarry might cause you to think you are having another bad day? John probably said all things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Best Seller Ever!

The sheer diversity of literature in the Bible is one of its secrets of its continuing popularity through the centuries! There is something for all moods and many different cultures! Its message is not buried in religious jargon only accessible to believers or scholars but reflects the issues that people struggle with in daily life! John Drane, Scottish Theologian and author. Comment: First of all the Bible is the number one best seller because it is written with the finger of God! It speaks to all cultures because it is written by the God that created all cultures! God speaks to His people through His Word! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
