Truth in the Persecution! James 1:2

No one can attack something without taking it seriously in some way. No one attacks Zeus anymore. No one gets emotional over the Flat Earth Society. Yet Christianity calls forth the deepest emotions–even and especially in the ones who reject it! Gene Edward Veith Jr. Author, speaker, Editor World Magazine. Comment: Truth will always bring persecution in this world because Satan and his disciples hate truth! As a Christian if you are not being persecuted you are not doing your job as a follower of Jesus Christ! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Truth or Lie?

1 John 1:10 “If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his intelligent Word is not in us.” Comment: Make who a liar? Make God a liar! Make Jesus a liar! If we have not sinned then Christ went to the Cross for nothing! Intelligence is based on truth! I spent 3 years in India! Like the 3rd grade it was the best 3 years of my life! While living there I became exhausted by the number of religions there! But they all had a common denominator! They were built on the ideology that man is not a sinner! Islam believes they are not sinners and do not need a Savior! In fact to get to Heaven they have to die for God! Rather than recognizing God has already died for them on a Cross! They make themselves God! Hindu’s believe in reincarnation! They believe after death they will come back to earth and live another life! Then they will repeat this many times! So they believe they get multiple chances to get their life right before God! No need of a Savior since you can do this on your own! This is why time is not important in their culture because they are just waiting around to come back again and get a second chance at life! Jesus said after death the judgment! He took our judgment on the Cross for our sin! What about the heresies in the American church today? We have the Mormon’s! We have Jehovah Witnesses! We have a great number of atheists! You do not need a Savior if there is no God! When you boil down the false religions of the world and America the common thread is they believe they can work their way to heaven! My good works will please God! My Bible the intelligent Word says my works are as filthy rags! Just like a used menstrual cloth! By God’s standard our works will condemn us! We try to make ourselves God! We cannot save ourselves! Jesus saved us on the Cross at Calvary! The religious people of the 1st Century crucified Jesus! Is it Jesus or judgment for you? Jesus will judge the living and the dead! Because he took your judgment! Reject him and receive the judgment he took for you! Death! The Apostle John in the 1st Century had to deal with the heresies in the church of his day! John had to deal with the Antinomians and the perfectionists! Today here in America it is atheism developed by the false teachings of Darwin! You do not need a Savior if you believe there is no God! The lies of evolution are taught to our children in Public Schools! Whether you believe the truth or a lie there are consequences both good or bad! I have asked President Trump to give out  school vouchers and privatize public schools and make them competitive! If you believe you came from a monkey you will act like one! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Truth & Suffering! 2 Peter 2:2

Greek Translation:  “And many shall follow their pernicious ways with no restraint wanting all pleasure with unmanageable evil traveling the road to destruction; by their reasoning reject the truth of the reality clearly laid out before their eyes rather embracing an appearance without reality or false image evil speaking of to hurt a reputation with false words.” Comment: If you follow your flesh this will be your end result! You will try to defend your evil mocking the righteous! Peter the Head of the Jerusalem Church had to deflect much criticism and false allegations! A righteous leader will always be in this battle! Much of the politics today is about smearing our President to try to defame his character! It is a character assassination! Only Christ can change hearts from evil to good! Suffering is the way of the righteous! Suffering for doing good! Our Christ had to endure suffering and should we no less? Suffering for Christ is a sign we are on the right path! If the world approves you look out! The Apostle Peter had to overcome many things! Especially with his past! Satan will always try to bring up your past! Peter you betrayed your Lord! You denied your Savior! You are not fit to lead! Christ has forgiven us and as Satan reminds you of your past remind him of his future in the Lake of Fire! Peter went on to be crucified on a Cross upside down in Rome! Centuries later he became the first Pope of Rome! If you give God your worst as the Apostle Paul and Peter did he will turn it around and make you the best! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Truth Crushed to Earth Rises Again!

1 Peter 3:16 Greek Translation: “Having a good, useful, benefiting others conscience knowing together and bearing witness of your moral obligations of your faith, as of evil doers with thoughtless words falsely accusing you with malice causing injury to you, that they may be ashamed that falsely accuse you in your good conversation and behavior in Christ.” Comment: Satan is our real accuser to mock the followers of Christ! It does not matter what generation we live in he is the same! However the love of God is also the same for every generation! As a follower of Christ you are going to be wrongly accused in this life! The young man in Texas who shot and killed many people may have been wrongly fired from his job but we leave the wrongs done to us with God for even he was wrongly accused! God says vengeance is mine! Satan accused God all the way back to the Garden of Eden as recorded in the Book of Genesis! Satan convinced Adam and Eve that God was a liar! God surely did not say you would physically die if you ate of this tree? Jesus come down from the Cross if you are God? He saved others but cannot save himself? Satan can only hold sway over you if you believe his lies! Through reading and studying your Bible everyday you will be able to see the deceptions of Satan! Just like God Satan is a spirit that dwells in people! Jesus at his ascension also sent his Holy Spirit to dwell in believers until his second coming back to earth! The Holy Spirit also exposes the deceptions of Satan! God is truth and every man a liar! Jesus said I am the truth! The way and the life! Truth will always expose a lie! Satan was a liar from the beginning! Just tell Satan if I were perfect I would be God! Satan I am a forgiven sinner but you are an unforgiven sinner! Forgiven sinners in Heaven and unforgiven sinners in Hell. You can accuse me and the Christ that lives within me but you will never convince me to abandon my faith in Christ! You can behead me but my last words will praise my Savior! As the Father of lies you can never be trusted! Your doom is sure and your time is short before the final judgment being cast into the Lake of Fire! My home is Heaven with all the benefits Jesus has promised me! Satan God has promised you a place in Hell along with your followers! I cast you out of my life in the name of Jesus Christ! I cover myself with the blood of the Lamb! I see a problem in the 21st Century church here in America! Not from every pulpit but in many! Hell is never mentioned anymore? Satan is never mentioned! I know some pastors want to sell their books and make the money but to remain popular is a heavy price to pay for omitting the truth! Jesus talked more about hell than he did heaven! To hear many from the pulpit today you would think Satan and Hell does not exist? If Satan and Hell do not exist then Jesus went to the Cross for nothing! Not to be an accuser of the brethren but to warn us the whole Gospel has to be preached! We are in a war between good and evil and our enemy must be recognized before we can defeat him with the Word of God! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh!

What was done with these gifts? What did Jesus do with these gifts given to him by these Kings of the East? Since Jesus was only about two years old his parents Joseph and Mary had to decide! Did they give them to the poor? They were poor themselves! Did they give them to Herod paying taxes on them? Did they distribute them to a local charitable organization in Bethlehem? Did they give them to the local synagogue? They used these funds to finance their trip down to Egypt to escape the clutches of King Herod! They used these funds to live in Egypt for two years and returning to Israel after Herod died! Joseph used the funds to set up his business as a carpenter in Nazareth! God will always make a way for his people when there seems like no way! You say no way my friend? He is the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but by him! Wise men still follow him! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Witness of the Jews! Isaiah 61:9

  1. And their seed, offspring, family and race will be perceived and known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people, nation and tribes: all that see them shall recognize and acknowledge them, that they are the seed that the Lord has blessed.  Comment: Salvation has come to the earth through the Jew! We need to be reminded of this because if forgotten history has shown us that even the church has been guilty of the persecution of the Jews! Yet congregations are very seldom reminded of this? If we are not taught the whole truth and nothing but the truth then error can enter into the church! The world will never have any problem persecuting the Jews! Did you ever observe that a right theology by the church leads to the persecution of the Jews and the church! Bad theology leads to the church  persecuting the Jews! Jesus a Jew was persecuted by the Jews not because he was a Jew but because he claimed to be God! Would the Messiah not be God? The 1st Century Jews knew the scriptures but they believed their Messiah would be a world political leader who would conquer the Romans and the world! Much like the Anti-Christ will do in the future here on earth! The true Messiah conquers through love! A sacrificial love demonstrated on the Cross! So the Jews ignorantly offered up the sacrifice that would save the world! A Jewish sacrifice offered up by the Jews! Many Jews will turn to Christ during the 7 year Tribulation period in history! The Jewish Anti-Christ will set up his world reign from the re-built Jewish Temple at Jerusalem! The False Prophet will set up his co-reign with the Anti-Christ at Rome! The False Prophet will be the one world religious ruler! My guess is it will be Islam! The Church will have been raptured by then! When the Anti-Christ proclaims he is God the Jews recognize their error! Jesus said many false Christ’s will come! A Jew who hates the Jewish Messiah has been deceived! A Jew who loves the Anti-Christ has been deceived! A Jew or a Gentile who loves the Jewish Messiah has found the truth! Your defense against the false Messiah’s of this world is the Word of God! Read it, hear it and proclaim it! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Who Do You Trust? Psalm 86:11

Hebrew Translation: “Teach me by laying a foundation established and erect controlling me which leads me down the road of life. O Lord; I will walk faithfully and stable in thy truth; unite my heart in the totality of my inner nature to reverence and respect your name.” Comment: We like Jesus disciples have struggled with this scripture! Like Jesus disciples we sometimes do not walk stable following him! We waver in faith getting off the road that leads to life! The disciples would sometimes get off the foundation! Their heart was not always united with Christ! Reverence and respect for his name was not always there! Peter denied Jesus even though he told him he would die for him! He eventually did in Rome years later! Jesus told us to go out into all the world and preach the Gospel! We say let the church do it! Let an organization do it! Pay them so I do not have to do it! Our gift’s God has given us cannot be used unless we do what Jesus told us to do! At the feeding of the 5000 Jesus asked the disciples what do they have? The disciples wanted to send the crowd away! We do not have money to feed this large crowd? Cancel the meeting! Send them home! The disciples were perplexed? They can buy their own food! A little boy in the crowd came prepared! He had more than enough for himself! He had a little faith! Enough faith to give Jesus everything he had! The little boy gave his all! He had the gift of 5 loaves and 2 fish! Bring what you have to Jesus! God will multiply it! Let God bless what you have! Really what he has given you! Doesn’t seem like much but enough! He will multiply it to feed everyone! God is greater than what you have! Have you figured this out yet? Do something with what God has given you! With your life! Don’t waste it on drugs and go to work! With the left overs from a miracle you can feed even more people! Twelve baskets full! Israel had twelve tribes and Jesus had twelve disciples! God can build a nation out of left overs! God can build a church with left overs! God has more than enough for your family! He has more than enough for your church! God can bless you if you bring all you have to him! Peter build my church! Do you want to distribute God to the world? Or keep him for yourself? Sow the seed you have! Do not eat your seed! Share and multiply what you have! The rich young ruler was not able to do that? He valued his possessions more than God! I don’t need to tithe and make offerings? The possessions God had given to him he could not give back! If you give to God what you have he will do more with it than you ever could by yourself! The graveyard is full of excuses! Even David who wrote this Psalm waivered at times! Jesus never did! Wait on God but not on anything else! Do what God has called you to do! Help the needy and the lost! Go after those the world has rejected! Pray and agree with God! Jesus had every excuse to quit! The crown of thorns was very painful! The betrayal of his disciples was painful! His back cut open and bleeding was painful! His Cross was heavy! Your will be done! God’s will is not easy! Jesus had no excuses to die for you! Do you have any excuses not to live for him? He gave his all! Can you? Be faithful! Stand up for our flag and take a knee for Jesus in prayer! Pastor Don Wildes, Mount Vernon Baptist Church, Fairburn, Georgia

Time Shall Be No More! Psalm 90:1

Lord God, thou has been our dwelling place in all generations. Comment: Moses wrote this Psalm and is the oldest Psalm in our Bible! What was Moses saying? Generations represent the revolution of time! Time reveals everything! It includes the revelation of God to men! It also reveals the character of man and the character of God! Time is linear and measurable! Time is the result of creation! Time does not measure creation it is creation! Time is your best friend or worst enemy depending on what you do with it! It allows you to find the living God or allows you to reject the living God! Time proves God’s faithfulness and man’s folly! Time is the opportunity presented to you for redemption! Time marches on as generations come and go! Every generation has to make a choice about God! Reverence him or reject him! After time passes for us the opportunity for accepting redemption passes! Then our choices are locked in forever! God wants to forgive you of your wrong choices but that requires repentance on your part! Humility rather than pride! Time opens the door and closes the door! Time presented the incarnation of God into flesh through his Son Jesus Christ into the earth! Time allowed his crucifixion on the Cross for our sin! Time will present his second coming into the earth! Time will reveal you redemption or judgment! Time is the best friend of the believer and the worst enemy of the unrepentant! Time allows us to receive God’s love and demonstrate God’s love to others! Water saved Noah and his family but destroyed the rest of the world! If you choose God the elements of the earth created by God will save you! If you reject the Savior the elements will destroy you! Which side of history will you choose? Your way or his way? Life or death? Sin or redemption? Living in Hell is not an option worth considering! Time shall be no more is declared in Revelation 10:6! This is the echo of Moses in Psalm 90! When judgment comes to you your only escape is if you allowed Christ to take your judgment upon himself! Have you done this? James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

John 3:16 Word Study “Believeth”

Believeth (Pisteuo) Strongs #4100 Believe in what? Yourself? Your shady relatives? The state? Republican or Democratic party? Money? Women? Men? Your dog? To believe is to have a mental persuasion towards something or someone! To have a confidence in! It is to have knowledge and experience that leads to an ascent to Christ with his words and actions! It is a belief that leads to good works even though we are not saved by our good works! A false belief leads to destruction! Never trust in someone that is not trustworthy! That excludes most humans! A belief and trust in Christ for our justification and salvation both past, present and future! To trust the work of God on the Cross for us as a substitute for the condemnation of our sin! You can believe the truth or you can believe a lie! What you believe is very important because your outcome in life is determined by what you believe today and forever! James and Hamsa Sasse.
