“But and if you suffer for righteousness sake, happy are you; and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.” Comment: First we need to take a careful look at the word “Righteousness”. In the Greek it is Strong’s #1343. Righteousness or justice is an adopted claim to a higher authority! It recognizes God’s claim on us! Because he has claimed us we can claim him! Insurance does you no good unless you file a claim! If you do not file a claim you will never receive the benefits! When we study and believe the Word of God everyday we make claims on his promises to us! Through everyday study of your Bible you claim your rights and file your claim! You might call this the covenant! We claim a higher authority to self! Our standard is to adopt God’s claim on us! We belong to him! Righteousness is the state commanded by God standing the test of his judgment! It is conformity to all he commands of us! True righteousness belongs to God! The righteousness of God is the right God has upon all his creation! Righteousness is a gift from God! Righteousness is recognized by man in acceptance of God through faith! Righteousness by law can only be applied to God for he has never broken the law! Men have broken the law and trying to keep the law by their own efforts oppose the righteousness of God! God is the law giver to show us we can never be righteous on our own! Christ fulfilled the law because he was more than a man he was God! He was God in the flesh! Christ took the penalty of death for our sin of breaking the law to the Cross! Our righteousness now rests in him! Our expression of his love is executed on others! The righteous are persecuted because of the first sin which was pride! In the Garden of Eden our first parents were tempted by Satan with pride! Did God really say? You know more than God! I am giving you a higher education! Your knowledge will exceed God’s thanks to me! You were born a male you can be a female! You are a female you can become a male! You can do what God cannot do! You can sin! Sin is about trusting ourselves over God! Then the law becomes our judge with no redemption! We suffer because we do not trust ourselves in our own efforts as the world does! We trust in God’s character and not in men! The world hates the truth because it would mean submitting themselves to the righteousness of God! They could no longer make themselves God! Their only temporal sigh of relief is to persecute the followers of Christ! Their faith is in themselves and in conflict with the faith of God! Finally the word “happy” used in the Greek is Strong’s#3107. It means blessed possessing the character of God! When Jesus ascended to his Father in Heaven he promised us to send his Holy Spirit to keep us until his second coming! His adopting us who were once orphans in sin from the Commonwealth of Israel blesses us with no greater happiness! All of life is a struggle for acceptance living in a world of rejection!Many sin for acceptance! When we receive the righteousness of God and his acceptance there is no greater joy!

Why Democrat Gains?
Specifically in Arizona and Nevada many people who are Democrats have moved from California to these states! Also 35 percent of all American’s are on some sort of public assistance! They will not give up the free stuff so they vote for the Democrats who dole out this stuff! However it is not free and our National debt reflects these giveaway programs for votes! The great economy is good for those that have a good education! Those that do not do not benefit from the booming economy and stay in the welfare trap! This is how I see it! Bill O’reilly
Why Suffer? Revelation 1:9
Greek Translation: I John, who also am among you a brother of the same womb (Born Again) and companion in tribulation. In tribulation of being broken, squeezed, crushed with the pressure of a burden upon my spirit in a confined space (Prison). And in the Kingdom of God under all circumstances with endurance towards people. I was in the isle of Patmos, for the Word of God and for the testimony being a witness, certifying and declaring Jesus Christ. Comment: Suffering by the world brings death! Suffering by God has brought men Salvation! John suffered for a testimony of Jesus Christ! Suffering in Christ brings purpose in your life! To live is Christ and to die is gain! We have an interesting story about India. We spent two of our three years there on a remote mountain village named Yercaud in South India. They had an old English church up there that had the graveyard surrounding the church! I explained in a previous post why the British did this. Since I had to walk through the cemetery to get to the front door of the church I noticed some of the grave markers. There were two grave markers of a missionary couple from England that spent their whole life preaching the Gospel in India! But I noticed next to their graves was a little grave marker of a four year old girl. This was their daughter who died of malaria while ministering to the people of India! I wrote there names down and then inquired of the elders of the village if anyone knew about them? An old man in the village told me the story his grandfather told him many years ago. This couple had a powerful ministry bringing hundreds of Hindus and Muslims to Christ! They had been appointed to a three year mission work to India. However after their daughter died there they spent the rest of their lives ministering in India! They decided their daughter’s death would not be in vain! Her sacrifice was not to be wasted! Jesus said, “This do in remembrance of me!” As we take the bread and the cup let us remember he did not let the cup pass from him! A sacrifice was provided to you for your Salvation! Remember him when you are suffering for he has never forgotten you! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Why are Young People Leaving Church?
The real reason according to the Pew Research Center Study in 2016 is revealed not by, prepared multiple choice questions and answers but by the write in answers young people gave in their own words! They responded that they no longer identified with any religious group because they no longer believe it was true! When asked why they did not believe, many said their views about God “evolved” and some reported a “crisis of faith.” Their six specific explanations included the following: 1. Learning about evolution (Darwinism), when I went to college. 2. Religion is the opiate of the people. (Karl Marx Quote) 3. Rational thought makes religion go out the window. 4. Lack of any sort of scientific or specific evidence of a creator. 5. I just realized somewhere along the line that I really did not believe it. (Really? Your atheistic professors had no influence on you?) 6. I am doing a lot more learning, studying and kind of making decisions rather than listening to someone else. (No one makes decisions in a vacuum) Comment: They question the existence of God? Why? The State education system promoting atheism! Atheists produce atheists! When you read the socialists work of the 19th Century like Marx, Engels, Lenin, Darwin, Neitzsche and others you will see that College students in America can quote all of them but they cannot quote the Bible? Karl Marx said the way to divide and change a culture is to isolate the parents from the children through State education! James and Hamsa Sasse. Godwhoisgod.com
Why Two Political Parties?
” Founders did not mention political parties when they wrote the Constitution, and George Washington in essence warned us against them in his farewell.” Marianne Williamson Comment: I do not agree with Marianne on much of anything especially her spiritualist promotions that are not Biblical based! However she is a smart Jew but I would call her a secular Jew! Her comment about our Constitution is correct! The question she did not answer is so why do we have two political parties? Simply we have two Kingdoms! The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan! Heaven and Hell. Our Constitution is Christian based and God’s fingerprints are all over it! One group of people want our Constitution enforced as written by our Founders! The other party wants to get rid of our Constitution! Replace it with atheism, secularism and a completely socialistic government controlling every aspect of your life! It is like Communism revisited hoping against all odds it will not fail like in Russia with hundreds of millions of casualties! The Democrats in power want a socialist revolution! Overthrow of our government! They want open borders! No protection for the citizens! If enough illegal immigrants come in by the millions they can overwhelm our financial system and cause a collapse! Sanctuary cities where criminals are free to roam and live off the state! No respect of Military and police officers and attacks on them are encouraged! Get rid of ICE? They are for the complete breakdown of law and order so the Revolution can happen! One party believes in Nationalism where the other a new world order with a one world government controlling all people! So this is where we are today in America! Faith in God mocked and persecuted and the Godless promoting a Satanic agenda! Christ made America great and a return to Him will lead America back to her roots and again to be the Greatest Nation on earth! If the people will make God great again then America will be great again! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Imagination! Genesis 1:26
Imagination rules the world! Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) Comment: Why did Donald Trump win the presidency? Imagination! He had a bigger imagination for America than all his opponents! It is interesting that Napoleon sold the Louisiana Territory known as the Louisiana Purchase to the United States for 15 million dollars! He used this money to fund his military exploits! During Napoleon’s final years in exile on Saint Helena he devised escape plans involving balloons, submarines and ships with collapsible masts! He was still using his imagination! Have you tried using the imagination God has given you? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
