Victimhood & Mental Illness!

What do Meghan Markle, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama have in common? They still claim they are victims? Even after reaching the highest political powers and royalty they still instead of being thankful to God for their promotions still claim they have been cheated? What fuels this anger? Do they want to be God? This is where the beef lies! They still do not have complete power over your life! This angers them! The Democrat party has an ideology of victimhood! You need big government looking out for you otherwise you will never succeed! This has fueled the destructive socialism movements through world history! You need the government to print you stimulus money! You hate your neighbor because his vehicle is responsible for global warming! We need a cancel culture because all these great Americans of the past have made me a victim! Get rid of certain races of people and we will then come up! Hitler said if we just get rid of the Jews! We are victims! Do you know where this goes if we here in America continue down this road? We will create victims by blaming others for our own flaws! Victimhood always is an excuse not to take responsibility for our own life! I am not a man I am a woman! There is always someone to blame or hate for your own failures! You are either going to blame your mother or God! Was Jesus a victim! He died for your sin! He suffered at the hands of criminal political and religious leaders! Judas betrayed him! He died and took the blame for our sin! Even though he was innocent! All Jesus disciples except John were martyred! Are they victims? No! To live is Christ and to die is gain! All things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to his purpose! Christ brought the ultimate victory over death, hell and the grave! Victimhood is called narcissism with an excessive interest or admiration of self! Our social media platforms have exponentially promoted this illness! When Christ is at the center of your life then your highest concern is for others! Even to sacrifice yourself for others! Just the opposite of victimhood where you are constantly in the search to find someone who is responsible for your demotions! When you promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ you are tackling the biggest enemy of mankind! Self! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

John 3:16 Word Study “Believeth”

Believeth (Pisteuo) Strongs #4100 Believe in what? Yourself? Your shady relatives? The state? Republican or Democratic party? Money? Women? Men? Your dog?

It is a belief that leads to good works even though we are not saved by our good works! A false belief leads to destruction! Never trust in someone that is not trustworthy! That excludes most humans! A belief and trust in Christ for our justification and salvation both past, present and future! To trust the work of God on the Cross for us as a substitute for the condemnation of our sin! You can believe the truth or you can believe a lie! What you believe is very important because your outcome in life is determined by what you believe today and forever! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Lawrence Welk Show 1965

This was a joke on his show given in 1965; My wife asked me to take her out to an expensive place! I took her to a gas station! Then in 1965 gas was about 20 cents per gallon! Now today this would no longer be a joke. Today a gas station is about the most expensive place you can visit! Just a reminder to you Obama lovers out there that when George Bush began his second term in January 2005 gas was $1.84 per gallon. When Obama took office in January 2009 gas was $1.85 per gallon. If you voted for Obama I want you to think about what you could have done with all the money you leave at the gas pump and dump into a hole in the ground supporting this novice in the White House! With ObamaCare and all the other disasters pending and looming ahead if you still support this guy you have some mental issues! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

The Trinity of God’s Grid!

God’s grid includes God’s relationship to us. It also includes our relationship to God. Then the outflow of these first two parts is our relationship with each other! This is sometimes messy but important. The local church is the alternative relationship not found in the world. Our behavior is different which includes love and forgiveness. When you operate under God’s love relationships are maintained. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. In the phrase,”a threefold cord is not quickly broken,” it is clear that Solomon is pointing out the advantages of companionship. Moreover, he presents this illustration to show how God’s mercy provides help to those who depend on Him. Solomon explains further by examples how this concept of companionship is beneficial. He shows that there are definite advantages of working together. He also reveals how terrible the circumstances would be if one had to face adversity alone. Two is better than one! Adam was given Eve! Learn to be a better friend. The alternative society has love and respect for each other. Two can defend each other. A three stranded cord is not easily broken. Notice how God set up His Kingdom with a Trinity! How we treat each other is a witness to Jesus. Do we really love each other? Satan is the great divider! He tries to isolate us all alone in broken relationships. Do we use each other for gain? His Church gives without expecting a return! We can even be isolated and alone in a Church. You can live in a city such as New York with millions of people around you but yet be lonely! Reasons for loneliness; 1. Hurt or betrayed by someone. 2. Too busy to invest in friendships. 3. Mental clock keeps ticking with deadlines to be met. 4. Not wired to be friendly. Bashful or introverted. 5. Do not know how to make a friend. Proverbs 11:– A Gossip ! Good friends keep a secret! However, remember the strength of sin is it’s secrecy! That is why we are to confess our sin and repent. Do not hide things that are illegal. Even in the church culture people are betrayed by using prayer requests as a way to gossip about others. A good friend covers the spots of his friend. Remember our sin is covered by His Blood! You are not a good friend if someone else has to lose in order for you to gain! A good friend will confront you about bad behavior. A friend will not enable another friend for bad behavior. Confront or otherwise both will lose. We are not here to win arguments but have loving relationships. Explain to your friend this is what you did and this is how I feel about it. Do not let sun go down on your wrath! If you are married and not friends you have a problem.In searching for a marriage partner look for a friend! Romance will not last! Good friends stay close to each other even through valley of shadow of death! I found out my real friends after the tragic shooting we had in our church a few years ago. Good friends forgive. Live in community. People are not always like Jesus in the church. Be quick to forgive. Luke 17:3-4. Repent and forgive! Confront or be confronted and forgive. Do not imagine and rehearse confrontational conversations with people who have offended you. Waste of time! Talk to God about problem.
