Mark 5:29 “And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.” Comment: After this woman touched the hem of Jesus robe he asked the crowd who touched me? The Greek word used for disease or plague here means the flesh has a softness or is a delicacy for disease! Disease thrives in our flesh! It is the perfect environment for death! The disease is acquired by contact! The Roman whip is related to this word! By his stripes we are healed! Jesus got 39 stripes on his back one for everyone of our diseases! This woman got the disease by contact but got healed by contact with Jesus! Our contact with sin leads to disease and death! Our contact with Jesus brings eternal life! Jesus went around healing the sick and raising the dead! I asked the Lord would it not be wonderful if you would come back now to America and raise the 65 thousand who have died from the Coronavirus? Jesus had to rebuke his disciples and that includes me! What do the scriptures say? Sorry Lord! After death the judgment! Some to everlasting life and some to everlasting judgment! I have already raised them from the dead! If Jesus would return today and raise the dead what would the liberal American press say? The same thing the press said in the first Century! The deceiver is back! They stole his body! He did not die! He is an imposter! He is here right now he did not die! What would the politicians say like Herod said? Crucify him! Follow not Jesus but my political party! Congress would craft a law to crucify him again! That is why Jesus will only come back at the end of the world’s destruction! The world trying to live without Jesus! Who are you in contact with? Satan or God? Who is your King? Jesus or who? Who do you follow? Yourself? I have decided to follow Jesus as the old hymn writer from India wrote years ago! Do you contact disease and death or the Savior? Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand! Man fights hard to keep his sin and death! If Jesus would return today everyone would be out of a job! Hospitals would be closed! Funeral homes would have to close! Why would not the world want this cure? They want to keep their power over men! They would have to turn from their wicked ways and repent! They would have to give up playing God! Perhaps we are learning that we cannot keep our jobs and the world system is not our Savior? Without faith it is impossible to please God! If America comes out from this epidemic with a strong faith in God then it will have been worth it all! If we could just believe! My concern is if we come through this pandemic and return to business as usual then we would have lost the lesson we should have learned through this suffering of our people! We cannot make it without Christ but many fools will try! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

No Firemen in Hell Isaiah 53:4
Hebrew and Greek Translation: “Surely he has taken away and carried off our griefs as a horse carries us off away from danger! He also carried off our sorrows! We did count and judge his crippled body through violence with touching him as Adam and Eve touched the forbidden fruit! He was pierced and slain and afflicted by God to establish a hold up against the judgment of sin.” Comment: The Septuagint is the Greek translation of the Old Testament. Using this resource will sometimes help us to get a little more insight into the scriptures! Use every resource you can to understand what God is trying to tell us! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Touched by an Angel? 2 Peter 2:4
What do we know about angels? From our Bible we know that there are 3 basic groups of angels. Gabriel (messenger angels), Michael (war angels), Lucifer (praise angel), who became Satan! We know that angels are created beings just like humans! We know we are not to worship angels. We know we were created just a little lower than the angels. We know Lucifer was the disobedient angel that rebelled against God and 1/3 of these angels were cast out of Heaven down to earth! We know angels can dwell in flesh. We know Christ was not a created being but was pre-existent and always was is and forever will be! What has all this to do with Christmas? A lot! Everything! Did you ever notice 1/3 of the earth’s population is Christian! One third of the disobedient angels were cast down out of Heaven to earth! Yet 1/3 of the earth’s population has been redeemed! We know that Satan can never be redeemed! However Satan dwelling in flesh or humans is his effort to destroy them! Remember Jesus has authority over demons and cast them out of people! At the mention of His name demons tremble! Jesus God’s Son incarnated into the earth was God’s plan to defeat Satan! Those that reject Christ continue to live under the control of Satan! The Christmas story is a lot bigger than tinsel, gifts and food! It is all about the defeat of the fallen angel in your life and the deliverance of your soul from the same plight that awaits Satan! The small baby in Bethlehem is God’s plan to deliver us from evil. Merry Christmas! Praise God and Christ for our praise replaces the praise in Heaven lost by Lucifer’s removal from Heaven!
