A New Way of Living!

If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict! In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him! Pastor A. W. Tozer (1897-1963) Comment: Man could never achieve by himself what God has done for us and enabled us to model our lives after him! That is to live and die one day at a time with love for our fellow man the only motivation for what we say and do! To sacrifice for others rather than sacrifice others for ourselves! To trust God allows us to love our fellow man knowing our outcome is based upon His love! Happy Easter

The New Green Deal?

The left has moved so far to the left that they no longer live on planet earth! Surely Ocasio-Cortez is from Mars! Is she on drugs? What are they teaching our children in these public schools? How is the green new deal working out for France! Riots in the streets! How did it work for the Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela or any place else it has been tried? Socialism is a proven failure! The global warming myth is being used to tax your income to death! These predictions of global destruction by the left are always predicted 50 or more years in the future when no one us will be around to see if it were true! She just killed the Amazon deal for New York at a loss of 25000 high paying jobs and she is proud of it? No fossil fuel? Tax the hell out of it! No motor transportation? No aircraft? No trains? No trucks? No heat in your home in the winter? No air conditioning in the heat of the summer? No cows? No milk? No food? She would make the best Geico ad ever invented! She will make your life so simple even a caveman can do it! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

New House! New Home!

2 Corinthians 5:1  “For we know that, if our earthly house made of dust and dwelling place of our deceased possessions of this temporary dwelling place of our Spirit were dissolved, we have a dwelling place in God’s family, a house not made with hands, eternal with a return of benefits received in God’s resting place.”  Comment: At death we all reach the same age as dust! This could be the socialist dream of equal outcome for everyone! Except they will rush this outcome with poverty and misery! A government appointed physician? How long will we last? The same failing public schools! If they are for equal outcome why then kill millions of babies in the womb and prevent the opportunity of life? What about the offspring of those millions of babies also prevented from life? We have a missing generation of our population! God has a better plan! To have a full productive life here on earth and in heaven! A life lived for him! For others! To continue with him in heaven a dwelling place prepared for us there! So what will we look like in heaven? Hopefully better than we look down here! We all start at the same age down here on earth! At birth except for the aborted! We all end up at the same age dust! So what kind of new body will we get in heaven? We have a few clues from our Bible! Jesus was resurrected from the dead at age 33. His material body looked the same even with the scars from the crucifixion! At the transfiguration the disciples recognized Jesus, Moses and Elijah! Enoch and Elijah were translated directly to Heaven! God will give us a new body yet recognizable in Heaven! However this new body will never get sick or die! Those in hell will also be recognizable! Remember the rich man and Lazarus? We are fearfully and wonderfully made! In the image of God! The world will get worse but God has a plan to redeem you from the darkness of this world! Hell is occupied with a belief system of no God and no redemption! By rejecting God they created their own dwelling place called hell! It is a rejection of God! God’s plan is for us to reach our full capacity as he has designed us! To be like God! Created in his image! God did not evolve! Hell evolved from man’s rejection of God their creator and savior! Never sacrifice tomorrow for today! God sacrificed himself today for your future! But you have to seize eternity today in Christ! My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness!

Cry unto Repentance! Isaiah 58:1

Hebrew Translation: “Cry, preach, roar, proclaim, summon to the judgment seat, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show by bringing to the front, bring to the light, confess and profess openly my people, the nation of servants of your Master your National moral rebellious revolt of sin against the living God and show the House of Jacob their sins.” Comment: Sounds like a good old fashion altar call! To be transparent with God is to confess your sin! Sometimes I hear a request to make Jesus Lord and Savior but what is missing sometimes is a valid reason for doing so? Muslim’s do not believe they are sinners! So why repent? Who needs a Savior? Atheists do not believe they need a savior! Whatever your message as a Pastor at the end and hopefully laced throughout your message it must be made clear that transparency before God requires a confession of your sin! Both the Old and New Testaments have the same theme! Repent! Repent of our sin! Pride in the church can separate us from God! I would suggest more frequent Communion services for your congregations!

John 3:16 Word Study “Only Begotten”

Greek Word Strongs #3439 The Greek root word used here is metamorphose! Yes! A worm turning into a butterfly! However in the incarnation the butterfly becomes a worm! Becomes a human! Well the butterfly was always the butterfly! God becomes man but still God! Only begotten means only Son of his mother. Jesus had brothers and sisters but they were from a different father! Jesus was unique only from one race! Salvation has come through the Jews! Father God said this is my beloved Son! Jesus was not born eternally of the Father but as to his humanity here on earth at his incarnation! The Trinity pre-existed creation and the cause of it for the Trinity always has been and forever will be! At Salvation our outward form changes because of a inward transformation! Jesus said we must be born again! The miracle of God in our life changes our condition! It is an invisible process with outward demonstrations of the change! Character is changed! From earthly to Godly character! Remember the Transfiguration? Jesus, Moses and Elijah transformed from earthly to Supernatural! One day we will have a new heaven and a new earth! The word “new”, in the Greek means qualitatively new! A new quality! That is what happens to us at salvation! It will happen at the Rapture of the Church and our eternity spent with Christ! If you can believe your eyes when you see a worm turn into a butterfly here on earth is it too hard for you to believe God’s only Son Jesus Christ was born out of heaven into earth?

John 3:16 Word Study “Loved”

Loved Strongs #25 Agape (Greek). This love is from the direction of the will finding joy through this choice! Love is a choice! Judgment is also a choice! Our judgment is based upon the rejection of God’s choice to save us! The word ‘Agape” is not a word found in classical Greek. It expresses God’s love towards man! Sometimes the word “charity” is used. This word expresses compassion! Compassion means to suffer with! God’s love is a sacrificial love! There are three other Greek words used for love but they are lower level’s of love! This love is a gift and is not given to us by what we desire but by what is needed for us to save us! It is a love we do not deserve! It is God’s willful choice for man! To love God we must show his love that is expressed to us! Without his love we cannot love him and others! It is the love we do not think we need that is the only love we need! We must chose to receive his love! If you chose to receive God’s love, Jesus Christ on the Cross for you then you have a new ability that is divine to share his love with others! The angel’s also have a choice! They are created beings just like we are! Lucifer decided one day in heaven not to receive and show love! He rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven! Even in heaven you will still have a choice about “Agape”! If you make heaven then as now here on earth you still will have a choice! Love demands a choice! When you do your Bible study remember every time you see the English word “love”, the Greek root word may not be “Agape” but another Greek word in the New Testament! It helps in our understanding if we know which word is being used for love! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Evangelism 101 Isaiah 60:5

Hebrew Translation: ” Then you shall see a flowing together, and your heart shall with it’s internal feelings and being shall tremble and quake with reverent worship and will grow; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the force of the might, strength and wealth of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.” Comment: I have shared some of the excerpts out of the Journal and diary of Christopher Columbus in earlier postings. Columbus approached the King and Queen of Spain using a Apocrypha scripture that the Catholics accepted and the Protestants rejected to justify his wanting to sail west on the sea rather than the traditional east! He showed the King and Queen that according to his Bible God divided the land into six parts at creation but according to then maps of the world there was a missing continent! Columbus believed if he sailed west he would find this new continent! It is believed Columbus was a Jew! In his personal diary he declared he was going to discover a new land and this new nation would support Israel. The rest is history! This is why, the King of the East (China), and Magog (Russia), allied with the King of the South (Persia Iran) are confederated together to take down America! This is why the Quran declares it is the Muslim’s duty to kill Christian’s and Jews! This is why the political left in America opposes Christian’s and Jews and the Sate of Israel. This is why they favor Islam and their support of Iran with the Obama Administration giving billions of American dollars to them! This battle will go on but you need to be sure you are on the right side of history! They will not succeed because God will perform his covenant with Israel and the Gentile Christian Nations! Do you see the word Christ in the name Christopher? The victory is ours but not without a fight! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Are You Stoned? Ezekiel 28:13

Lucifer had it made! The praise leader of Heaven! He had every precious stone in his covering! Sardius, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, emerald, carbuncle and gold! Lucifer was equipped with praise instruments! He had the tabrets and pipes like a pipe organ to make music to the Lord in worship! Lucifer was a created being like us! That is why we are not to worship angels! Pride entered Lucifer and rebelled against God and was cast down to earth with 1/3 of his followers! When he impacted the earth his precious stolen stones from Heaven were scattered throughout the earth! So when you find a precious stone in the earth think where it came from! According to verse 13 Lucifer had been in the Garden of God, Eden! That is where he met Adam and Eve the first humans on earth! You might say Lucifer had a touch of heaven for in heaven the streets are paved with gold! It is not rare stuff up there! So why do we labor for the stolen goods Satan left here on earth when the jems and gold are as common as dirt in the earth up there? Some humans have worked for them but others have stolen them committing evil sins against God and man! Worship of God by humans involves the precious elements of the earth! Let us look at the Ephod Breast Plate in Exodus 28:18-29. The 12 tribes of Israel each had a precious stone of a significant color representing each of them before God! These stones represented earthly people. Most of these colors are in the rainbow across our sky! The rainbow has 7 colors! This sign in the heavens reminded us of God’s covenant to never completely flood the earth as in the days of Noah. It is interesting it takes water to activate the rainbow! It takes sin to activate the blood! When we look at the breastplate the tribe of Judah was represented by an emerald. The green emerald stone is used in engagement rings representing fidelity, harmony and loyalty! In Revelation 21:19-20, we see these precious stones appearing in the New Jerusalem! In the 4 entry gates of the city! Our Messiah came through the Tribe of Judah! God’s engagement to man began here and was consecrated in marriage which produced a Son named Jesus Christ! Remember Jesus always existed before creation and was incarnated into the earth as a human! The church today is the bride of Christ! My Bible says he is more precious than silver and more costly than gold! Why? Because he created this stuff! Remember the Ephod Breast Plate was for judgment! Judgment begins at the House of God! If you let Christ take your judgment then you are saved from it! Christ the eternal judge will not condemn his own! Another notable here is the eastern gate of the mobile tabernacle was guarded by the Tribe of Judah! When the Muslims controlled Jerusalem centuries ago they heard that Christ would re-enter the city through the eastern gate! So they sealed the eastern gate closed with brick and mortar to try to stop Christ at his second coming! The eastern gate is still sealed today and it looks like the Muslims believe some of the scriptures! In the New Jerusalem the eastern gate will have a green emerald stone on the gate representing the Tribe of Judah! If you have accepted the offspring of Judah Jesus Christ you will be able to enter this gate! Only God who created us is able to deliver us from sin! You cannot save yourself! It takes the God who never sinned to deliver you from our sin! He sacrificed himself for us! In the New Jerusalem there will be 12 gates, 12 angels, 12 tribes, 12 foundation stones, 12 names, 12 apostles, 12 thousand furlongs (dimension of city), 12 stones, 12 pearls and 12 fruits! This is going to be a fascinating place to live! Can I wait to see the mansion he has for me? Not really! It will certainly beat this stone age earth! There are a lot more scriptures available describing the New Jerusalem! Isaiah 54:11-12 is a good one! The windows are dressed with agates which are of every color representing the induction of every race into heaven! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Make America Great Again!

“The Supreme Court has insulted you over and over again! Lord, they have taken your Bible away from the schools! They have forbidden little children to pray! They have taken the knowledge of God away as best they can and organizations have come into court to remove the knowledge of God out of the public square of America!” Pat Robertson Comment: As we the people install new judges to the High Court our hope and prayers is that the court will reverse many wrong decisions that have resulted in the suppression of religious liberty! Hopefully abortion will be overturned and you our Christ be reinstalled back into American culture where we can once again return to our greatness! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
