The Worthy Lamb and the Sealed Book, Sermon 761B

Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries

The Worthy Lamb and the Sealed Book
Sermon 761B

Faith as a Continuing Way of Life

Pastor Tony Alamo begins by arguing that Christianity involves more than reciting a single prayer of repentance. He presents salvation as an ongoing spiritual life marked by obedience, rejection of sinful behavior, and continual reliance on God. In his interpretation, believers avoid condemnation by walking according to the Holy Spirit rather than following the desires of the flesh.

The Elders Cast Their Crowns

Drawing from the closing verses of Revelation chapter 4, Alamo discusses the twenty-four elders worshipping before God and casting their crowns at the throne. He interprets this act as an acknowledgment that every worthy accomplishment ultimately comes through God’s guidance and power. He also emphasizes service to others, including feeding the hungry, helping those in need, preaching the gospel, and accepting the personal sacrifices that he believes accompany Christian discipleship.

The Mystery of the Seven-Sealed Book

The sermon moves into Revelation chapter 5, where a book sealed with seven seals cannot be opened by anyone in heaven, on earth, or beneath the earth. Alamo describes the Apostle John’s sorrow over the unopened book and identifies Jesus as the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Root of David who alone is worthy to open it. During this section, he also introduces political and historical commentary concerning David Koresh and federal authorities, presenting his own strongly stated interpretation of those events.

The Lamb at the Center of the Throne

Alamo focuses on the vision of the Lamb standing in the midst of the throne, interpreting the Lamb as Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice provides humanity with an opportunity for redemption. He stresses that this opportunity requires a conscious decision to follow Christ and obey His teachings. The sermon also examines the Lamb’s seven horns and seven eyes, which Alamo associates with divine spiritual power, complete awareness, and the seven spirits of God sent throughout the earth.

Prayers, Redemption, and a Multitude of Worshippers

As the Lamb takes the book, the heavenly beings fall before Him with harps and golden vessels described as containing the prayers of the saints. Alamo teaches that sincere prayers reach God and cannot be concealed or imitated. He then discusses the new song proclaiming that Christ redeemed people from every family, language, people, and nation. His message emphasizes that redemption is available across racial and national divisions to anyone who chooses to receive Christ and live according to what he calls the Jesus way of life.

A Letter from Haiti and the Invitation to Salvation

After completing Revelation chapter 5, Alamo hears a ministry letter attributed to a listener in Pétion-Ville, Haiti, who says that French-language religious literature changed his life and led him into gospel service. Alamo briefly introduces Revelation chapter 6 before delivering an extended invitation to salvation. He rejects alternative religious practices, identifies Jesus as the sole means of forgiveness, and leads listeners through a prayer asking Christ to enter their hearts, cleanse their sins, and save their souls.

Closing Ministry Information and “His Name Is Wonderful”

The episode concludes with ministry contact information and an invitation to obtain a copy of the archived program. Alamo encourages listeners to return for another message about becoming and remaining spiritually renewed. The final musical segment features the ministry choir and orchestra performing “His Name Is Wonderful,” praising Jesus as the great Shepherd, the Rock of Ages, and Almighty God, followed by a closing announcement from Help from Christ Ministries.

Speaker 2 - Pastor Tony Alamo
Speaker 3 - Sharon / Ministry Reader
Speaker 4 - Choir / Orchestra


Speaker 1 - Announcer / Help from Christ Ministries:
Welcome, and thanks for joining us for today's message from the archives of Pastor Tony Alamo, presented by Help from Christ Ministries. If today's message inspires or encourages you, please contact us at 918-506-5550. That's 918-506-5550. Or email helpfromchristministries@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you.

Speaker 2 - Pastor Tony Alamo:
We're preaching that if all you have to do is say the sinner's prayer, then you don't have to worry about being condemned anymore. Father, if we say the sinner's prayer, I would love You to show them in this message that Christianity is a continuous thing. It's a new way of life. It is living in the Spirit.

In the Spirit, there is no condemnation to those who walk in the Spirit. There is no condemnation to those who no longer walk after the flesh - no longer sin. That is what that means. There is no condemnation to those who are spiritual, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Holy Spirit, after the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

Lord, I pray that whatever it is You want to say in this message, say it through me. Use me in Jesus' name. Lord, I pray that You bind the devil during this message. Bind him, rebuke him, and open all the channels of heaven. Pour out on me in Jesus' mighty name, that souls might be saved and the church edified and strengthened. In Jesus' name, amen and amen.

Now, verse 10: "The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever." They worship Jesus, our good, living God, who is the same, who liveth forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "Lord, we were in the world. We were walking in the Spirit, but it was You that held us up. It was You that were winning the souls. It was You that was talking through us."

It was You that told us to feed the hungry, to give drink to those who are thirsty, to clothe those who are naked, and to preach the Word of God to them. It was You who led, guided, and directed them on a daily basis, so that people would know there is somebody on this earth keeping the commandments of the Lord and that we have to do the same thing.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone? Must Tony bear the cross alone? No. There is a cross for everyone. There is a cross for you, fellow, young lady, old man, or old lady, because Christ, God, is worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honor, and power.

It is You, Lord, who talked to me, lived in me, and did these things in me. Therefore, You deserve it. I do not deserve this crown. I throw it at Your feet, Lord. Here, it is Yours, because You are worthy to receive the glory, the honor, and the power. For Thou hast created all things, everything in the universe. Do you think you are so great that you do not have to do something? He created all things, and for His pleasure they are and were created.

The Bible also tells us that Jesus created everything because He is the Word of God. He created all things, and all things were created for Him and by Him. So of course we give honor and glory to Him. How do we do that? By living in Him, and by Him living in us with the Father by the Spirit.

Now, chapter 5: "And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne" - of course, the One who lives forever and ever - "a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals."

Verse 2: "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice." Whenever you see a hush-hush church that does not tell the truth and say it loudly, then you know you are not in the right church, because there is a proclamation here with a loud voice. When the Lord says, "Love, man," it is loud. "Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?"

Now, this is the one that David Koresh said he wanted to explain to people before he came out and surrendered himself. Well, it is simple to tell what this is. It is written. It is a simple thing. He should not have taken so long. But every time he tried to get out of there, these filthy beasts, these people posing as federal government agents but really acting under Roman canon law, shot at him.

I was in prison on false charges, a stupid IRS charge. I did not owe a penny, and they said I did. They got all kinds of people to betray me. But those people I ran into in prison said Koresh tried to give himself up. This is just the beast. He was Seventh-day Adventist, an offshoot of it, and he tried to give himself up. They were not doing anything wrong. Everybody knows that by now. Just look on my website. I have a video where it shows the supposed federal government agents shooting their own men and blaming it on Koresh.

Verse 3: "And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book" - the seven seals - "neither to look thereon." Now, this is a mystery to us, those of us who live in the Spirit of the Lord.

Verse 4: "And I wept much," John said, the Apostle John, "because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon." Before you say, "Who cares about the book and the seven seals?" the Apostle John was in the Spirit, and he wanted to know everything that the Lord knows. The Lord knows a lot, amen. If you are not curious as to what is in the book, he was so curious that he wept because no one was able to open it.

Verse 5: "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David," or the Lion of the tribe of Judah, of course, is Jesus. The Root of David, of course, is Jesus. He "hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."

There is no one like Jesus. All power in heaven and on earth belongs to Him. It does not belong to anybody else. You may think the pope has power, but he has nothing. You notice the popes die? He has not got power over death. He does not have the power to live forever. When he died, he was not God. He was a little pink man. He could not even lift his head up. He was constantly looking down at the ground, or at his shoes, whatever he was looking at. So the Lord has prevailed to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Verse 6: "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain." I said that Jesus is sitting on the throne, and right here it says He is standing in the midst of the throne, right in the middle of the throne. So that is where He is, folks. Amen. He is in the middle of the throne. He is in the middle of everything except the devil and hell.

So I beheld, and lo, in the middle of the throne, in the middle of the four beasts, and in the middle of the elders, stood a Lamb. The Lamb of God is Christ, amen. That is why, in the first chapter, He is white like wool. It is like unto the Lamb of God. The Lamb of God has white wool in that particular vision. In other visions, His hair is black. He is not a real lamb, but He is the Lamb of all lambs, because He is the One who was slaughtered so that we could have an opportunity to be saved.

But the opportunity vanishes if you refuse to be saved. You must come to the Lord. There is salvation in only one person. There is power in only one person, and He has the power to give you life if you do what He says. "You are My friends," He said, "if you do everything I tell you." Amen.

A person who says they love Me and keeps not My commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in them. That is what this Lamb says. When He was here on earth, He was slaughtered like a lamb from before the foundation of the world for our sakes. But when He ascended out of hell, death, and the grave, then He ascended into the kingdom of heaven. Now He is not the little lamb any longer who is going to die again for you.

"I was alive, and I was dead, and I am alive now forevermore." I am not coming back to die for anybody again. You have to have faith to believe in the things I say here. Otherwise, there is no hope for you at all.

So in the midst of all these different things in heaven, right in the middle of heaven, is the Lamb of God as it had been slain, having seven horns. Seven horns. That is the seven spirits of God, amen. And so we know there is the same amount of evil spirits in Satan. He has seven horns. This is the demonic thing. He has hell, hell fire, lies, the cause of every abomination. He is the dragon. He is all those different things. Seven horns.

The Lord has seven horns too. Everything that the Lord has, Satan tries to imitate, but it does not work for him. And seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. The Spirit of God sees everything, and He is just combing the earth. He sees everything in you, on you, and through you. He knows what you are thinking. He knows what is up your sleeve. He knows everything.

So these seven spirits are sent forth into all the earth. Those flying saucers that people are seeing - the devil has an imitation for those. These are not kooky beings. These are spiritual beings. We learn from the Lord that they are surveying the earth just before Christ comes back to earth again, just before God Almighty comes back to earth to take vengeance on those who wanted to remain condemned.

It is like saying, "Here is a hundred-dollar bill. Here is a billion dollars. Come and get it." Nobody wants to come and get it. They do not believe it is there. But once they come to get it, it is theirs. This is far more important than a million dollars, or a hundred million, or billions, or trillions. This is life eternal.

So into all the earth these seven spirits are sent forth. This is the book, the seven seals.

Verse 7: "And He came and took the book," this Lamb of God, Jesus, "out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne." There is God, and then there is the Son of Man, who is also the Son of God. So He goes to God and takes this book.

Verse 8: "And when He had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb," before Jesus, "having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints." In other words, our prayers, when we are really penetrating up into the throne of God, are saved in vials. That is how God knows whether you are praying or not. You cannot deceive the Lord. You cannot shut the Lord out, do you know?

Verse 9: "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us." Those of us who received Your redemption, You redeemed us to God. You reconciled us to God. We are now members of God's body. We are the fullness of God now because our bodies are the temple of God. When He is living in us, and we let Him live in us, then we are the fullness of God. He fills us up, and we are a place for Him to live in us on earth. Now He gives us a place to live in heaven forevermore.

So He has reconciled us to God by the blood, by Your blood, Jesus, that You shed on earth. We are now the fullness of God out of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation. God is no respecter of persons. Anybody who will let Him live in them, whether red, black, white, yellow, or green - whatever you are - you are one of the many kindreds, tongues, peoples, and nations that the Lord has redeemed by you choosing Him.

It is your choice. You have to make a decision. You have to ask Him to come into you, and then you have to start following Him and His way of life, the Jesus way of life.

Verse 10: "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." Well, that is what I am doing. I am reigning. I am telling you what you are going to do, or else you are going to hell and the lake of fire. I am telling you whether they kill me or not. I have told you that I am reigning on earth right now, and many others are as well who are preaching the truth. But there are a lot of them preaching fallacy. Why? I take it they love money. They love to tell you false things.

Verse 11: "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne," many angels, "and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands." In other words, there are so many nobody could count them. Ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands more. More than the sands of the sea. Uncountable, in other words.

Verse 12: "Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power." He has all the power in the world, in heaven and earth, and riches. He owns everything, and we do with Him too, as long as we are in Him. He has wisdom, all the wisdom and knowledge and power of God, strength, honor, glory, and blessing.

Isn't that something? He never said, "God hates sin, and if you love sin, you are hated. You are going to spend eternity in hell, and you are going to be crying out while God laughs at you as you go into the pit." You filthy, cormorant, bitter thing.

"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea," you are going to worship the Lord because He is the only One worthy of being worshiped. These Mickey Mouse religions say that Mohammed or Buddha and those people have honor. They are nothing. "And all that are in them heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power."

Why blessing? Because He did it for us. He provided it for us. Nobody else did. Nobody ever will. Honor and blessing belong to Him. Those of us who are telling you these things deserve honor because we are telling you how you are supposed to bless the Lord, honor Him, give glory to Him, and give power unto Him. We are telling you there is no other power of any kind or variety.

"Be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever," because the Lamb sits on the throne, in the midst of it as well.

"And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever." Are you going to live forever and ever? Have you chosen the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? What about that?

That is the end of chapter 5 of the book of Revelation. So we are going to stop now and read some letters. Where is the first one from?

Speaker 3 - Sharon / Ministry Reader:
From Pétion-Ville, Haiti.

Speaker 2 - Pastor Tony Alamo:
Okay.

Speaker 3 - Sharon / Ministry Reader:
Greetings, Pastor Tony Alamo. Brother Bernard gave me some of your literature in French regarding your gospel ministry. The newsletters have really changed my life. I am now delivered unto the service of the gospel. May Jesus bless you, dear Pastor Tony Alamo. Luc Sama from Prolonger, Pétion-Ville, Haiti.

Speaker 2 - Pastor Tony Alamo:
Oh, praise the Lord.

Well, chapter 6 starts out, and John says, "I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals." Whoa. No one else could do it. Buddha could not open the seal. Mohammed could not open anything because they are dead and their bones are in the grave. There are no bones in the grave where Jesus was buried. He rose from the dead, and He walked out of that tomb. Picture that. There was a great earthquake, and He walked out of there the champion of all champions, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, and He ascended into heaven. Oh, praise the Lord.

All right. It is time for us to be reconciled to God through the blood of Jesus, because there is no other way a person can get their sins forgiven. Forget about lighting candles, man. That is like sacrilege. That is blasphemy. Forget about praying to Mary. Mary is not deity, and any of the saints are not deity. We have become the fullness of God, but we are not God. We are His body. We are the body of Christ.

We have a body, a human body, and His body looks like ours. But because we enter into His body, we become channels here on earth to let Him get His word out. We happen to be saved forevermore. I could care less if the Lord just let me be in heaven. That is all I care about. I do not care about being any big shot there, but the Lord has made me a big shot there.

The way you get saved, the way you become redeemed, is this: the whole Bible is about Jesus, about the tree of life. He is the tree of life. Now He wants you to eat from Him, and He does not want you to eat any longer from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

So say this prayer and become one with Christ, one with the Almighty. Say, "My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God. I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my former filthy sins. I believe that You, Father 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, Holy Father, Holy Spirit. Wash all my former filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed for me, Jesus, on the cross at Calvary. 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 will turn no one away, and that includes me. Therefore, I know You have heard me, I know You have answered me, and I know that I am saved. I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my eternal soul."

Now just raise your hands up in praise and thank the Lord.
