True & False Prophets? I Kings 13:33

First and Second Kings were originally one book. They tell of David’s death, the golden age of Solomon’s reign, how the nation divided into two Kingdoms (Republican & Democrat), and their eventual captivity by heathen powers. (China) Could we be talking about America today? King Solomon compromised in order to achieve his political ends! The end justifies the means! He taxed the people so much it fostered a rebellion! The love of money today is the root of all evil! Abortion! He trusted his military more than God! The political changes reflected the abandonment of God by the culture! The good Kings (Southern Kingdom) tried to maintain the traditional worship of the true God! The bad Kings (Northern Kingdom) tried to abandon worship of the true God and replace him with Idol worship! The apostate Northern Kingdom led by King Jeroboam was destroyed! The Southern Kingdom Judah was more repentant and Jesus came through the line of Judah! What lessons can we learn from the Books of the Kings? 1. Human governments are faulty at best. 2. God’s rule continues in spite of the follies of men. 3. The will and purpose of God will prevail. 4. God still speaks through his prophets. Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. 5. God shows his power through the forces of nature plagues, earth quakes, floods, droughts, famines and God incites foreign hostile armies (China) to accomplish his purpose. 6. God is always in control. 7. Time exposes true and false prophets. I Kings 13:33 “After this thing King Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but again made the lowest of the people priests of the high places : whosoever would, he consecrated him, and [he] one of the priests of the high places.” Commentary: Sounds like Saul and Samuel? Satan’s purpose was always to be worshiped! To replace God’s worship! Every evil spirit wants to replace Jesus as King! Remember Jesus is prophet, priest and king! He is a trinity within himself! False worship is exposed in any culture by the rejection of Jesus Christ! He is replaced by Darwin, atheism and other forms of Idol worship! The State becomes your God! The State gets prayer out of schools! Darwin replaces creation! They get Bibles out of schools! Crosses are removed across the land! From cemeteries? Nativity scenes come down by court order! Political correctness hides truth! Cancel culture removes Christian voices! Abortion! Open borders! Sanctuary cities! Fraud in elections! Foreign religions promoted! Foreign governments bribe politicians! Deceptions and lies everywhere! The State goes after the righteous! The nation weakened spiritually and economically! The priests do not resist evil but join them! Wicked behavior like gay marriage, homosexuality, lesbianism, transgenderism promoted by the State and many priests! The church the 501c crowd becomes the State controlled church! No resistance to evil! Popular culture becomes church culture! The wheat and the chaff grow up together! However there will be a harvest! Spiritual warfare leads to political warfare and then to violence! Two voices speak one for good and one for evil! Two Kingdoms! Heaven and Hell! A true prophet of God went to a false prophet and the false prophet lied to him telling him he was a true prophet! It cost the true prophet his life! How can you distinguish the true from the false prophet today? What they do with Jesus Christ! Is he the King, Prophet and Priest of their life? How about you? Is there someone greater? The Holy Spirit will affirm the truth in your Bible but you need to know your Bible! Read and study it everyday! Make it more important than your necessary bread! Jesus is the Bread of Life! Follow him to Bethlehem and the wise men did! Be wise and not a fool! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

True Image of God!

1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet [appear] what we shall be, but we know that, when he shall [appear], we shall be like him; for we shall see him as is he is.” Commentary: The word appear in Greek is an interesting word! It means the act of divine revelation! Jesus eternal existence preceded his earthly disclosure. Jesus did not begin at a manger in Bethlehem! He has no beginning and no end! This is the character of God! If you think you are God try that! I remember the drunk guy in India that shouted out some words in the street of a village there. He shouted out these words in the local Tamil language so I asked my nephew what he said? He said, “I was before the beginning!” Drugs will do strange things to the mind! He was making himself God! It happens a lot in India! If you reject God you will try to make yourself God! Only one problem! You are not God! While in heaven Lucifer or Satan tried to make himself God! He rebelled with one third of the angels in heaven against God and was cast down to the earth where he authors rebellion in humans against God here on earth! War started in heaven and it continues even today! The riots, looting, church burnings and murder did not start in the streets of American this year! The seeds of rebellion against God and his authority began in heaven! Satan can never be God since like us he is a created being but he created a hell for himself and those that follow him! Who you follow is who you look like! Follow Jesus and you will begin to look like him! Follow Satan and you will look like him! Jesus is love, peace, joy, patience, long suffering, sacrifice for others, prophetic, powerful, full of faith and forgiving your enemies! When Jesus appears at his second coming if you have been following him you will look like him! If not you will be a stranger to him and him to you! We were created in the Image of God yet that can only be accomplished through Christ because he took your sin away on the Cross that has transformed your image from sin against God and man to the righteousness of God and peace with men!

A True Pessimist!

The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind; the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity!

To Good To Be True?

Luke 1: 29  Greek Translation: “And when she (Mary), saw the angel Gabriel, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind to reason and separate herself to herself considering and disputing in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.” Comment: Mary living in the 1st Century like us in the 21st Century live in a fallen negative world where good news is considered fake news! The Paris sisters back in the 1960’s had a big hit song called, “To Good To Be True.” If the reference to good news is only our own character then we have problems believing good news! We do not deserve it and we know it! Like your best friend picking up your discarded lottery ticket off the floor and checks and tells you have just won 400 million dollars! Mary did not deserve this win so to believe the good news was a challenge to her! When we come to Christ he discards our past and presents us with a new future! Satan will always try to bring up our past but just remind him of his future! Our Salvation is not based upon our own merit! It is based upon the goodness of God! Unless we receive the gift from God we have nothing to give! No eternal life! No hope! Only guilt! Do not turn Christmas off this year like a light switch and then turn it on next year? Christ is the light of the world in the dark world we are living in! Let him light up your world so you can shine his light unto others! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

No assumptions here! First God instructs us to live in marriage with your wife as a family! Marriage between a man and a woman. Giving honor to the wife through your experienced knowledge of her the physically weaker vessel. Not morally weaker but providing protection to her as the weaker vessel. Both husband and wife are joint heirs to Christ! We serve God together! Remember Jesus said where two or three are gathered together in my name there will I be! Praying together is God’s will as a family! Purpose is found in a joint relationship to God! We serve each other without an expectation of a return favor! It is not a tit for tat! If you do this for me then I will do this for you? If you do not then I will not? Jesus said the greatest in the Kingdom of God is servant of all! A true servant recognizes his blessings come from God! Your service may be rejected or despised here on earth but will be rewarded in Heaven! The love of God expressed to each other is the choice to serve each other! Even when it hurts! Jesus gave his highest service to you by going to the Cross! Can he expect any less from his church? Equality is measured by our love and care for each other! We can never be equal with God but in submission to him we can do what he did! Left to ourselves we will only serve self! Our biggest enemy is self! Health is to take our minds off self and that is what service to others does! God took his mind off himself and created you and then went to the Cross for you! Is God into selfie’s? My Bible says we are created in the Image of God! Why not try to look like God! When you make your life about God then he makes it about you! True equality!
