Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Hello again. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. We are in Part 133 of How to Have God's Life Living in You. This is program number 235. If you would like a copy of it, Sharon will tell you four different ways to receive one. Please specify whether you want a CD or an audio tape. At the end of the program, she will explain that it is postage-paid and free of charge.

Some people have told me that if we charged for these materials, people would think they were more valuable. But I know there are a lot of people out there struggling just to make ends meet. These tapes and CDs are extremely important for you to listen to in these last days, because we are in the very last days.

We are uncovering the mystery of iniquity and the mystery of God. It is hard to fight an invisible enemy, but if you listen to my broadcast, you will no longer believe that it is invisible. There are no people who are invisible to me. The Bible tells us exactly what is going on in the world. We have the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, who teaches us all things. If you are born again of the Spirit, you have the Spirit of everlasting life. The Holy Spirit teaches you everything, but it never condemns anything that the Bible says.

If the Bible says, "Thou shalt not murder," and people have changed that scripture to "Thou shalt not kill," that is wrong. The Bible condemns murder. If you murder anyone, the Bible states that you must be put to death. The Lord says that if you commit murder, you must pay the price. Otherwise, we have a lawless society. That is what God calls the Antichrist: the lawless one, the one who does not believe in the real law of God.

The law of God states that punishment is to be delegated to people who break God's law. We are going to be talking about the mystery of iniquity being finished and the actual mystery of God being completed and known today. These things are to be revealed, and they are revealed now in the last time, just before the Lord comes back to earth again.

So we have to hold on. We have to hold on to the hands of Jesus. This is a song that I recorded not long ago, and I am going to sing it now.

[Music: Tony Alamo sings "I'm Holding On," urging listeners to hold on to the words and hands of Jesus.]

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
That is really what we need to do in these last days: hold on to the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:2 states, "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world." The Lord says, "Love not this world." You walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience.

There are a lot of disobedient people in this world today. The second chapter of 2 Thessalonians talks about the Antichrist. It talks about him as the man of sin, the man of perdition, the lawless one. The Bible also talks about Jesus, the man. There is the Spirit of God working in the people who are obedient, and there is the spirit of Satan working in the children of disobedience.

Disobedience to what? Disobedience to the Word of God. It was the Word of God that created heaven and earth and everything in heaven and everything on earth. When the architect of the kingdom of heaven and the earth tells us that obedience is to obey His Word, that Word is so powerful. The only way we can hold on to the hands of Jesus is to be obedient to His Word.

The Lord talks about casting out devils by the finger or hand of God. The finger or hand of God is symbolic of the Spirit of the Lord. It is impossible to hold on to the Lord if you are walking according to the spirit that works in the children who disobey the Word of God, because the Word of God is Spirit, Holy Spirit, and life.

Second Thessalonians talks about the Antichrist as the lawless one, the man who works evil. This is a man, a corporate body of people led by the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. It is the anti-spirit of God. It is against the Spirit of God and walks according to the spirit of Satan.

It is impossible for you to stay glued cohesively to the Lord, so that He can hold you up in these troublesome times, if you are walking according to the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. How can you possibly escape falling into the different evils on the face of this earth?

The first commandment is the most important one of them all: to love God. Love the Spirit of obedience, the Spirit and Word of God that created everything. That is the first commandment: to walk according to the Word of God, in obedience, so that the Spirit of God will be in you and remain in you.

A lot of people say, "Jesus said He will never leave me nor forsake me," yet they walk according to the evil spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. In essence, the Lord has not left you, but you have abandoned Him. If you abandon Him after you have been born again of the Spirit, and if one demon was cast out of you, that same demon can come back with seven others.

False preachers and teachers, ministers who are not of the Lord, teach these false Christians to walk according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. How can you escape if you trample underfoot the blood of Jesus and count the blood that He shed for the forgiveness of your sins as nothing?

The Lord said He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh in these last days, and He does that by the Spirit in His children. The children of obedience are anointed by God to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." If you reject the Spirit that the Lord is pouring out on all flesh, you will not be able to accuse God of not revealing the truth to you. The Word of God is preached throughout the world now.

The people in the deepest places of the earth, including places in Africa, South America, the Greek islands, and the South Pacific, are being reached. Buster just returned from Africa and brought many tapes with him. I am going to put some of those tapes on the internet. We receive hundreds of emails every day from people around the world.

Some people write us saying they are doing the work of the Lord. Buster went to investigate so that we would not spend money in the wrong place, and he found two out of a hundred who were exceptional. One was in a refugee camp, where people had fled from different parts of Africa. We have handwritten testimonials from people who tell how family members were killed in front of them and how they suffered terrible injuries.

The Lord will forgive, yes. But if people prefer to continue walking after the spirit that works in disobedience to the Word of God, there is no escape for them. There are two spirits and two bodies. There is the man who kept all the commandments of the Father, and there is the man of perdition, the man of sin, the lawless man. There are many millions of people in the disobedient man, and there are many millions of people who have the Spirit of obedience living in them.

There is one Satan and one Lord. You are either walking in the Spirit of obedience to God's Word, or you are not. If you say, "I have never hurt anybody," but you are not obeying God, you are obeying rules that you made up for yourself. You have your own philosophies. The Lord does not want you to have your own philosophy. He wants you to cling to His Word, to hold on to the hands of Jesus.

Jesus is the entire Word of God. It says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." In other words, believe on the entire Word of God, and you shall be saved. Do not make excuses, because excuses do not work in your favor. God is right, and His Word is going to come to pass.

The only Word in the universe that has the power to save your soul is the Word of God, because the Word of God is Spirit and life. Jesus said the words He speaks are both Spirit and life. If you want to have God's Spirit so that you are not led by the spirit of Satan, but led into obedience, you must walk in the Spirit.

Jesus was a man, just like you and me. Yes, He was God, but He was also a man. The Spirit of God lived in Him, and the Spirit of God will live in you also. That does not mean you are God, but the Lord showed us that obedience can be performed by walking in the Spirit, in the Word of God. He did that all the days of His life.

When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, the Spirit of God came down upon Him in the form of a dove, symbolic of the Prince of Peace. He then entered His earthly ministry. Now He is in heaven, and He is the Son of God. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one God. There is no separation between them. When you ask the Lord to enter into your heart, the entire Godhead comes into your heart, and you become an obedient child of God.

You are led by the Holy Spirit rather than by the worldly spirit that works in the children of disobedience. The Lord tells us not to love the world, because it is going to burn up. It is condemned. He did not come into the world to condemn it; He came to forgive us of our sins so that we are not condemned with the world.

The world will burn for a short time. It will be purged of sin, and so will heaven. There was sin in heaven because Satan was there as Lucifer. The Lord is going to burn heaven and earth, and there will be a new heaven and a new earth. It will be right here, but purged. Like gold that must be purged to be pure, this earth will be purged. The earth abides forever, but not the sinful world that now is.

Those who are disobedient will not die in the sense of escaping punishment. To die is no big deal compared to burning forever and ever. That makes it much more worthwhile for us to walk according to the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, rather than according to the prince of the power of the air.

The Bible says that in the last days the mystery of God is revealed. The mystery of God is revealed to those who have His Spirit, but it is impossible for people of the world, disobedient people, to be tuned in to the Spirit of God. It is also impossible for them to understand the peril they are in because they reject the mercy of God for their souls.

People can hear the preaching of the Word and begin to fear because they know it is true, but they do not mix what they hear with faith in God. They have more faith in the Antichrist spirit, the spirit of iniquity, the spirit of disobedience. They covet the Antichrist more than the Spirit of God.

Let us pray. Pray with me that God will reveal His Word and that it will be believed so that people can escape hell and enter heaven.

Father, we pray that You anoint me with the same Spirit that was in Jesus. He stated that the words He spoke were not His own, but that it was the Father speaking through Him. When the Lord says, "I and the Father are one," that was the Spirit of the Father in Him saying that He was the Father, because the Father was in Him and with Him at all times. The Father even went to the cross with Christ, the man.

When you ask the Lord to enter your heart, soul, and spirit, the whole Godhead enters into you: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That is why, if you believe as the world and worldly ministers teach - that you can continue sinning after the Spirit of God has entered into you - the Lord detests that. When you sin, a middle wall of partition comes down between you and the Father, between you and the Son, and between you and the Holy Spirit.

If you did it in ignorance, the Lord will forgive you, but make sure you never disobey God again. Father, anoint me so that souls in the world can be saved and the church can be edified, strengthened, and empowered to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." People are going their own way. Repent means to turn around and go God's way. Go with Jesus. Go with the Holy Spirit.

You cannot enter the kingdom of heaven if you are one of the children of disobedience to the Word of God. He says, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." The kingdom of heaven has been coming into this world ever since Jesus. The more people the Father, Son, and Spirit live in, the more the kingdom of heaven is here on earth. That is why the prince of the power of the air and the children of disobedience attack us so hard. They want to stop the voice of the Father speaking in and through us as He did in Jesus.

Am I comparing myself with Jesus? Of course I am, because Jesus is in me. It is not me speaking now. It is the Spirit of Jesus, with His Father, by the Spirit, speaking in and through me. The Lord said that we shall have power after the Holy Spirit comes upon us. Therefore, we know that we can endure all things.

I have had federal agents come into my cell when I was in prison on false accusations, and they wanted to shake my hand. They said they could not help being amazed at my tenacity. I told them it was only the power of God in me. I would have backed off long ago, but I cannot, because the Spirit of God is in me. No one can fight the Spirit of God and win.

Lord, let Your Word, Your Spirit, draw all men unto You, and let the church be strengthened mightily by Your Spirit and by the things You do with me on this program, so souls can be saved and the church strengthened. In Jesus' name. Amen.

There are only a few of us here because we record so early in the morning. This is not representative of the church. If millions of our followers all over the world were here, they would blast your eardrums out.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Lydia, you have letters here from India. Go ahead, please.

Speaker 3 - Lydia:
My dear beloved brother, Pastor Tony Alamo in Christ Jesus, our hearty, warmest greetings to you and your dear family and ministry in the most precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and King of Kings.

My dear precious brother, I am praying every day and minute for your sound health. Dear precious brother, I have received your kind literature and Messiah books. Really, I am very happy for it. Please accept our hearty greetings. It is the most wonderful literature. It has the Holy Spirit. Thank you once again.

Dear precious brother, every day I have been distributing it in every place and every corner: bus stands, railway stations, government offices, hospitals, municipal offices, and even in prisons. So many people are saying it is really wonderful literature. Really, one piece of literature did change my sinful life. Thanks to the Lord, and also thanks to Brother Tony Alamo. Please accept our greetings once again. Definitely, it can give eternal life to all of us.

Please pray for my gospel service. Dear precious brother, now we are also suffering from heavy floods. So many people have died, so many kids are missing, and so many elders and old people have died. Our government is trying to stop it. It will be our mighty God's hand. Please pray. Pray for me also, as we are praying for you.

Your beloved sister in Christ, Pasu Paladi, from Antar Betapalam, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Every day we get hundreds of emails and people requesting literature from all over the world. One of the last signs that the Lord is coming back is that the gospel will be preached all over the world, and it is. The Lord is coming any day now.

There will be many plagues. As I stated a few days ago, Judges chapter 13 talks about the people of Israel, God's chosen people, sinning, and God delivering them into the hands of the cruel Philistines. That is what is happening to the world today. People are placed in the hands of cruel government agencies. The people in government think everyone sees it as an invisible government, but it is not invisible to those filled with the Spirit of God.

The Holy Spirit, the Comforter, teaches us all things. The Bible tells us that the sabotage in this country, the tyranny in the world, and the terrorism come from Rome, the city with seven hills. It is a mystery to people who are not saved, but the Bible says the mystery of God is revealed to the people of God, and the mystery of Satan is revealed to us so we are able to teach you from the Word of God.

It is a bad thing to have an invisible enemy, a shadowy enemy, one you do not know from one minute to the next. How are we to fight an invisible foe? We cannot. The Apostle Paul said it would be like beating the air. I used to be a boxer and wrestler, and I did martial arts. If I were blind and could not see my foe, I would be defeated very quickly.

You are being defeated and living in constant fear because you will not receive from the Word of God where this enemy is coming from. The Bible plainly states that this is Mystery Babylon the Great. It is mysterious only to those who do not know the Word of God. The Lord has chosen me to tell you where this is happening from. Some people try to make it look as though I do not preach the Word of God, but this is the Word of God, and the Lord does not want you ignorant of the devices of Satan.

Read the Word of God. Read the book of Revelation. Read the book of Daniel. If it is hard for you to understand, that is why God has called preachers, teachers, prophets, and evangelists to explain it to you. If you receive the Word that the Lord is teaching through His chosen vessels, then you will know also.

The Lord states that it pleased Him that the world would be saved by the foolishness of preaching the Word of God. God could use all kinds of methods to get the Word to you, but He said it pleased Him that the world would be saved by the preaching of the gospel through human beings. Do not discredit human beings who are preaching the gospel, because this is the will of God.

It is the will of God that you be filled with the Spirit and anointed with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, so that you can be in the ministry to help God pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. The Word of God is holy and divine. It is not to be challenged by mortal beings with carnal brains. The mystery of God and the mystery of iniquity are hidden from minds blinded by Satan.

Second Thessalonians talks about the man of perdition. This giant corporate man, this body, the Antichrist, comes into the world. The Apostle John said that there were many antichrists in the world even in his time. The Spirit of God was also in the world in His servants, such as the Apostle Paul, and the spirit of Satan did not stop entering people back then.

According to Tony Alamo's teaching in this broadcast, hundreds of millions of people are influenced by that spirit. He says this influence operates through propaganda and through many institutions. He claims that media, politics, and public figures have been used to obscure the source of iniquity and to demonize Christians who preach the Word of God.

He also says that many people have been propagandized and do not realize it. He states that propaganda has a foul smell in these days and connects it to claims about governments, media, public figures, and religious institutions. He further claims that the media is Satan's mouth and that it demonizes those who have the Spirit of God so that people will applaud when they are imprisoned or killed.

He says that people walking in disobedience may think they want to see the obedient destroyed or imprisoned because it gives them a sense of power. He also claims that trouble in many nations comes from the same spirit of disobedience, and that the Bible calls this system the mother of every abomination on earth.

The mystery of God is deep, and the mystery of iniquity becomes revealed when the Spirit of God enters you, because the Bible says the Comforter teaches us all things. These things are hidden from the workers of iniquity.

Let us read from 2 Thessalonians chapter 2:

"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand."

My time is already up, but this chapter tells us that the coming of the Lord will happen when there is a great falling away of the church. The gospel is preached everywhere, and the great falling away of the church includes all these people receiving false doctrine. You will never see millions of people gathering together if you are preaching the truth.

There is the spirit of disobedience, which many of you are walking in. If you want to walk in the Spirit of obedience and escape hell and the lake of fire, and enter heaven, say this prayer and mean it with all your heart.

My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, and I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. I open the door of my heart and I invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus. Wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed for me. You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus. You will save my soul. I know because Your Word says so. Your Word says that You turn no one away, and that includes me. Therefore, I know You have heard me, I know You have answered me, and I know I am saved. I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul.

Raise your hands and praise and thank the Lord. Thank You, Jesus. Praise You, Jesus. Glory to God. Worship the Lord in holiness. Praise Him and thank Him all the time.
