Revelation 22:12: “And,behold, pay attention, I come quickly, swiftly, hastily and exceedingly fast; and my reward and your wages or payday is with me, to give every man according to his work or continued employment shall be.” Comment: Jesus did not work for nothing and neither will you! His blood purchased you! God has a time card and keeps track of everything you do for him! Some people come to church bored because of no expectancy? No faith! The word “Work” used here in the Greek means not a single act but by a continued act or acts. We have a Book in the Bible called the Acts! Acts of the Apostles! The word quickly in the Greek means like a never ending flow of a river! Payday is coming to the faithful in Christ! Remember you are working for Jesus! If they hate you they are attacking Jesus! Christ is your boss! We are laborers in the harvest field! Jesus has already given you some rewards by his indwelling Holy Spirit in your life! Rewards like raising you from the dead! Forgiving your sin! Returning with Christ at his second coming to earth from heaven! Your greatest reward is the living God living in you! Jesus said the harvest fields are ripe! He needs laborers to bring in the harvest of souls! Remember 4 thousand years passed in world history before his first coming! Since then we have had 2 thousand more years pass! So how much more time? Jesus said only the Father knows the exact time of my return even though the signs Jesus gave us are all around us! Persecution is one of the signs he gave us! Jesus said they will drag you into the courts! Ask the Oregon and Colorado baker if they have felt this persecution or not? Christianity is being criminalized now here in America! My Bible says one day is as a thousand years with the Lord! We are now in the sixth day of Creation or six thousand years! What did God do on the 6th day of Creation? He created man both male and female! This explains the war on gender! Satan knows his time is short! This explains the war on Creation with promotion of Evolution! This explains the promotion of open borders and the one world government led by the Anti-Christ during the 7 year Tribulation period culminating with the return of Christ! Again Jesus said only the Father knows the time of his return! The next big event will be the Rapture of the Church! Whether dead or living you will be raptured! Some unto judgment and some unto eternal life! What you do with Jesus determines your destiny! What you do not do with Jesus will also determine your destiny! 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.
