Diamond in the Rough! Revelation 2:17

“He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; to him that overcometh will I give to eat the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Comment: Manna is bread from heaven! God fed the Jews this food on their journey through the wilderness! Jesus is the bread of life! The word Bethlehem means the House of Bread! God hides and stores up blessings for his own! The purest white stone is a diamond! The diamond reflects more light than any other stone! Jesus is the light of the world! He reflects the character of the Father! We are to reflect the light of Christ! The white gemstones are the modern birthstones for the month of April both in western and for the Hindu calendar! So what goes on in April? Easter! The only reason an object looks white is because it reflects more of the wavelength of the light spectrum! We are to reflect the light of God in our character! This has nothing to do with race or the color of our skin! As for our character we should when we look in a mirror see God! We were created in the image of God! When God looks in a mirror he should see you! What is meant by the words “New Name?” This word means new in quality! Jesus said we must be born again! Old things to be passed away all things new! You can never fix the old man! He must die! The word name means to describe the character of a person! The new name represents the character of the person named after the new name! The character of Christ! Whether good or evil our character represents who we follow! God or Satan! Without Christ any nation or cultural will move into darkness! This is what is happening to America! The popular cultural is at war with two colors now! Red and White! Why? These two colors are in our American flag! Why would they disrespect our flag? It is the colors! Red representing the blood of Christ or Salvation and white representing purity or the forgiveness of sin! This cultural war is a war on God and His Christ! The enemy will make every effort to get you to deny Christ! Never! Our future is with Christ forever and this short life here on earth is a test of your faith! In Islam at Mecca they worship a black stone! Darkness! We as Christians worship the light of the world Jesus Christ! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Do Your Feet Sweat?

After retirement in 1994 I needed something to do? So we bought 30 rental properties! I became very busy! We purchased these in low rental area’s and I also made the renter’s a ministry! One of these properties was a shell duplex that was not completed. The walls were up and the roof but nothing else. We bought it for about $5K so I thought I could complete it by myself! Each day I would spend time working at the sight. All the neighbors would come over and visit me and what a neighborhood! Young children, drunks, criminals and even a Pastor ministering in that area. Next door was a young man named Gary. He was a nice man and a distraction because he would hang around and talk while I was working. I tried to focus on my work and would reply yes to everything Gary said not really listening to his talk. Then he caught me by surprise and said, “Jimmy do your feet sweat?” Without thinking I said yes and Gary asked me if he could sniff my feet? No Gary you cannot smell my feet! Gary left and I realized I could not complete this duplex myself because I was so busy with the other 29 units. I hired a plumber to help me. Jake the plumber showed up at the site so I left to attend to the other units. When I came back the next day Jake was very upset and used some very bad words! He told me he did not want to work in this neighborhood anymore! I assured him I would talk to Gary and the others! So I went to Gary and asked him about Jake? Gary told me Jake really used some bad words on me yesterday! He did not want to repeat the words but said Jimmy Jake called me a female dog! Gary did you talk to Jake about sweaty feet? Jimmy do your feet sweat? Jimmy does Jake’s feet sweat? Jake explained to me he was not going to turn his back on this neighborhood while on his knee’s soldering pipes together with a blow torch! Jake told me that if that queer ball comes over here again I will put my blow torch to his feet and then his feet will really sweat! Jake quit the next day and I hired another plumber. I thought how am I going to get people to stay in this unit? I finally figured out what to do with Gary! If you say no to his first question he will not ask the second question. I explained to the new plumber and things went better! Next episode I will talk about the drunk next door and the prostitute I invited to church! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
