Hello again, this is World Pastor Tony Alamo, We are in part 116 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You. And this will be program number 218. We have CDs and audio tapes of this program. And if you like a copy of it, Sharon will give you four different ways how you can receive this at the end of the program. But we have some letters and a very powerful message, and I do hope and pray that you will continue attending this service. Those of you that are out in radio land and that are watching this or listening to this tape on the website. Right now let's go to the throne of the Lord and invite him to rule the kingdom of heaven here in this dark world by taking full charge of me.

The words that I say that they are not my own, but they are the Father’s in the kingdom of heaven. We are fused to you Lord by the Holy Spirit. We are able to speak eloquently because it is You who does the speaking. Jesus said the words that I speak are not mine own, but the Father’s. He wanted to know that he too was a human being with the same human blood that we have in our bodies, same kind of bone, the same kind of flesh. And Lord we know that, and this is what is so remarkable about your ministry, is that it shows, I'm talking about your whole life, this ministry, that you were led by the Holy Spirit all throughout your life. That you were not in the ministry of preaching until You reached the age of 30.

And so you are continuing your ministry in human bodies because you showed we who are humans that when we die out to our own way of life, our former lives, and surrender ourselves, the way that you show us that we must, that we are resurrected. You are the resurrection and you are the life. Therefore we are able by our dying and keeping ourselves humble, knowing that only you can bring about salvation in and through us. This is the way you chose to save people. Your word says that it pleased God that souls or humanity would be saved by the foolishness of preaching the gospel through human beings. That's what it means.

So, and that there is no other gospel, no other truth on earth that can lead us into the kingdom of heaven. So therefore everything else in this world father has no value to it so far as entering heaven. Only you, you stated that anyone attempting to enter heaven by any other means or through any other person, they are thieves and liars which means that they are Satan, satanic because Satan is a thief and a liar and a murderer. And therefore we must focus strictly on you. There is no other way. There is no other choice for salvation. Lord we pray, I pray that you make it very clear, as I see you already doing, to those in radio land and in this room, that they may receive it.

I ask that father that you open their minds, their hearts, their spirits, and that You anoint them as a demonstration. As you said you would pour out your spirit upon all flesh and servants and handmaids would prophesy. So pouring out your spirit is the same thing as pouring out your word. And the way you do this is through human beings also. When you are preaching the word through me or others of your subjects, your sons, they know that it's you. They are able to feel the spirit of the people that you are preaching through. And Lord I pray that after You have anointed them, after by the preaching of your word through me, that they will know that you are pouring your spirit out upon all flesh.

This shows the world that you are merciful. It's extremely merciful because you have been dealing with folks here on earth for over 6,000 years. And your purpose now is to reestablish the kingdom of heaven here on earth that you first gave to Adam and Eve. They were deceived, she said, she was deceived. And therefore she fell from your power, which is grace. Power is not unmerited favor. Grace is not unmerited favor. Grace, Father, as you let me know, is power. Your Word says that grace and truth came with Jesus Christ. And then your word further says that all power in heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus. So the word grace means power and truth.

The power of God living in us is the same power of God that, after we are saved, that lives in Christ. And your word also tells us that if the same spirit of power and truth lives in us as it lived in Jesus, then we shall also rise up from the dead on the last day. And we shall spend eternity everlasting life with you in the kingdom of heaven. And I pray, Lord, that everyone will come to the full realization of whatever it is that you want them to know today, that they may receive this power, this truth, and that the church will receive more power in truth from your ministering to them. I ask it in Jesus' name and everyone says amen. Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

All right, praise the Lord. Now, let me have some letters. Where's the first letter from, please?

Speaker 2 – Female Letter Reader::

From Kenya, Africa. Okay, and what do they have to say?

Speaker 2 – Female Letter Reader::

Tony Alamo, praise the Lord Jesus. I am happy that still King Jesus has kept you in the faith. It is in this light that I just want to request you, my pastor, that I have launched an office here in Kisumu, Kenya. Many people are coming here for counseling and deliverance. Pastor, God is moving here in a powerful way. People are also in need of your literature, books, bibles. And this weekend I was outside our town. God saved 50 people after receiving your message on Dry Bones.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Yeah, Dry Bones. That's a copy. That's my testimony piece of literature. I have another one entitled, Signs of the Times. And what else?

Speaker 2 – Female Letter Reader::

In the afternoon I was having a radio listening with your tapes. 100 people gave their life to King Jesus. Praise the Lord.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Amen. Well, I really do have a very powerful testimony. It's supernatural. And it shows that Jesus is not just on a written page, that he is alive and very powerfully well, very powerfully alive and well. And that he is dealing, he's still in this world, winning souls as he did during the time that he could be visibly so. He was visibly seen here on this earth. And I visibly saw the Lord in a vision in front of my face. in my bedroom. It was the darkest room I'd ever been in my life. And here it just came in brilliant. This vision in that he was sitting in an oval-shaped mirror. The mirror appeared with him sitting in it and in it. I have explained what he looked like.

But he wore a thin crown he had in his hair. His hair was bushy and it was black. And his eyes were black also. He's not a blue-eyed, blonde-haired, Jesus at all. And he's not black? He's not black. He's Jewish. Just like myself. Okay, he has olive skin. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Female Letter Reader::

Pastor, the harvest is plenty here. In fact, I was requesting you to send some of your representatives just to see the work of God.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Well, we said certainly, we'll be leaving this month. Buster will be out there. And we just, and his wife is, I'm told that she's very good at video cameras and she's going to bring a video camera with her. And film some of the happy things that are going on in Africa. And some of the sad things so that we can know for sure that we're sending money to the right place. Amen? Amen. Alright, then what?

Speaker 2 – Female Letter Reader::

I'm looking forward to send you photos of the people of the baptism that I did in Lake Victoria, River Nyando, River Kibos. Even now are we giving people your books and Bibles? Remember also that we normally reach some places that people are in need of food and clothing. God is giving you strength to reach millions of people with the gospel. Yours in Jesus' name, Brother Isaac, from Kisumu, Kenya.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

A letter like this, make sure that you copy them and give copies to buster so he can see where these people are so he can visit them when he's there. All of them. Okay. And then where's the next letter from?

Speaker 2 – Female Letter Reader::

From Mexico. Okay, what part of Mexico? Oaxaca. Okay.

Speaker 2 – Female Letter Reader::

Dear Pastor Alamo, receive greetings of peace from our Lord Jesus. Brother Tony, I am writing to tell you that the literature you sent to Brother Israel is shared with us, and we in turn pass it out to others and souls are being saved. We are thankful to you and the Lord for the support you give us. Please send us Bibles and the Pope’s Secrets literature. I will appreciate it if you will send those items to me at the following address. Pastor Sam from Oaxaca, Mexico. Okay, make sure he gets always. I have just written another edition of The Pope’s Secrets, another Pope Secrets, which is more up to date than the last one, but the first one is very good as well. Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Female Letter Reader::

And from India. Dear Brother world pastor Lamo, greetings to you in the almighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. How are you? I want to say good news after receiving and reading your literature newsletters. Many Hindu people are very interested to know more about Christ. These people reach our church on Sunday. After the Sunday service, they're asking me questions to clarify their doubts concerning the Son of God, the Savior of this world. They recognize Christ is the Son of God and Savior of all mankind. They confess their sins and are baptized in the river. Also, we heard good news from unreached areas. They're calling me by telephone and letters.

Some of them reaching me and clarifying their doubts. Many unknown people invite us to tell them the good news about the Savior. Really your literature carries salvation because after reading your literature, many families have been saved and added to our church family. Please also send 100 Telugu Bibles to distribute to these newly converted people. Brother Lamo, it is my prayer that our Heavenly Father opens the doors for you to visit our Hindu country. If you are coming to this place, I will arrange a gospel meeting. Through the gospel meeting, thousands of people will be able to convert. Please think about this invitation. Your brother in Christ, brother Jaya from Kaikaluru, India.

All right, trace the Lord. That's great. The Lord tells me to do it. I'll be there very quickly. That's all in the letters. Okay, Sharon, let's begin. How to Have God’s Life Living in You Part 116, program number 218.

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

At one point, Pilate asked Jesus, quote, do you refuse to speak to me? Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you? Unquote.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Well, the point of this whole thing was that no one on the face of this earth has the power to even dream. Unless it came, it comes from God, from Heaven. So what I am pointing out here is that what Jesus told him that you wouldn't have any power if it were not given to you from my Father. Jesus came into the world to die. He came into the world to save souls, to raise the dead. I am to tell us the truth, to show us the power of God, and to die. If he wouldn't have died and shed all of his blood, then there wouldn't be any salvation. The Old Testament the Lord talks about most of the law was the symbolic, or type, or figure of the death of Jesus having to shed his blood.

The animals were slaughtered in their blood, was trained into a basin. And then the blood was taken into the Holy of Holies and put on the horns of the altars, which was the promise of the Messiah. It was symbolic of the promise of the Messiah going to come into the world. And he had to have genuine human blood in order for him, because God doesn't have. God is the Spirit, and the Spirit doesn't have blood. The Spirit doesn't have bones. The Spirit doesn't have flesh. So he had to come into the world in the flesh, bone and blood. And as I mentioned the other day, he came into the room where the disciples were after his resurrection. His body, his human body, was resurrected, minus the blood.

The blood had been drained from his body, and that should make it clear. He said to Thomas, he said, thrust your hand. He says, you doubted. I thrust your hand into my side. He says, you'll see that I'm flesh and bone. I'm paraphrasing. And he didn't say there's blood here, because the blood was all drained out of it. And you know the Bible states that the light is in the blood. So it shows that the thing that was happening there, he came through a door or a wall. The door was locked, he couldn't have. So he became a spirit and went in, and then he became bone and flesh again. So he told them to put their finger in his nail-pierced hands and for them to Thomas to put, thrust his hand in his side.

And he says, a spirit doesn't have bone and flesh. He didn't say blood, because the Roman soldier pierced him in the side, and blood and water came out. He was drained. And I've been around slaughterhouses before where they drained the blood of the animal, and it all just comes falling out right away. Like the Billings, Montana at Pierce Packing Company when I was a kid, I used to know Mr. Pierce. And I went in there and I'd watch him get to be going to a little stall. And they'd smash the cow or the steer in the forehead and they'd fall down in the chute with the slide out of the floor.

There was men there with rubber boots on and rubber aprons, and they'd put the chain around their hind legs and then lift them up. And then somebody sliced his throat and all the blood had come out on the floor and there were drains on the floor. Then they'd take the hide off of them and then they'd begin cutting them up into different pieces. They'd get the same thing with hogs. They had a big wheel. They hooked them onto the wheel. And while they were upside down, they'd slit their throat and the blood all came out. So it's the same thing with Jesus when he was not to compare him with animals or anything. But when they stabbed him with the spear, all the blood came out of his body just the same way.

And there was no more blood in there because he shed the blood before the father. And this blood was carried up to the throne of God and presented as the atonement for all of our sins as an offering. Jesus was the Lamb of God. And I've been at a place where they were slaughtering lambs and all the blood comes out right away. So he can't live without blood. But Jesus died once for the sins of the world and now he's alive forevermore. And he had already completed the necessary things that we might be saved. That was proof positive that he shed all of his blood. Okay, then what?

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

Jesus answered, quote, you would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Unquote.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

In other words, Rome is not the number one kingdom. There's no kingdom that ever was or ever will be that's greater than the kingdom of God. Jesus said, no kingdom has, you have no power. As that's my father, it lets you do what you're doing now. Then what?

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

What the Lord was saying was that the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin. John chapter 19 verse 10 and 11.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Because it wasn't God doing it, it was a man that did it. And here, Pilate is just sitting there trying to understand why Jesus is not talking. Jesus knew that the sacrifice had to take place and there was a name, need to talk or to justify himself because he came to die. So he was silent. Some people take that for a weakness, but he knew he was going to die. So he just didn't say anything. That's very evident. Then what?

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

As the Roman governor of Judea,

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

Pilate represented the full power and authority of the emperor himself.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Right. That's the way Rome does things. When Rome takes over a country such as Israel, it puts its governor in there and they have the full power. With the exceptions, they have Caesar over them to do what Caesar has told them to do. If they did differently than what Caesar told them to do, then Caesar has the power to take by just removing Pilate of the realm of his jurisdiction in Israel. That's the way the Roman government is doing today. It is the, and God is allowing this Roman anti-Christ government to exist because he's separating at this moment the sheep from the goats. He wants to see who willingly comes on the side of the Lord, or who willingly and willingly and knowingly goes on the side of Satan.

There are two kingdoms here, on earth: the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of light, and the kingdom of darkness. And so, Jesus said, you can't serve two kings, two masters. You must belong to one kingdom of the other, or the other. There's no three kingdoms. There's only two. If you're not with Christ, then you're against him. He said, Jesus said, if you're not with me, you're against me. And so, we know that people are of the kingdom because they are doing or allowing Christ to do what he pleases in and through them.

He is able to, in a person that is of the kingdom, a subject, they have to die out to their own life in order for them to be able to be a subject of the kingdom of heaven, or to prove that Christ is their king. If they're doing anything other than what Christ the king says, then they are not of his kingdom. Because a king, just like the people of darkness, they do exactly what the king of darkness tells them to do. Otherwise, they kill him when John F. Kennedy did not allow the different people to. He got puffed up in his head and started thinking that he was a god or something. And Rome, he wouldn't pay any attention to what they were saying. And so they killed him. This happened.

I'm very familiar with it because a lot of people such as Walter Winchell, Teddy Charach, Mayor Yorty, and others came to me, telling me these things, and proving to me. And then I also talked to Alberto Rivera before his death. We were fairly close to each other. And he would tell me the different things, and he even knew the people that were going to do it. And he knew approximately when they were going to do it, just like because of the training I've had and the way that the Lord has led my life and by the spirit. I've learned that when the Vatican tells you something's going to happen, it's them. It is the Vatican that's going to do it.

And also the Bible tells us that is Satan's seat Rome, the city of the seven hills. So this is how I know that. And all this kingdom put together is the Antichrist Kingdom is for people who are of the kingdom of light rather than this death, rather than this dark kingdom that we see in this world. They are a people that are of the Lord get appalled at what they see. They don't want anything to do with it. And so they rush over on the side of the kingdom of light. And all the others, they love the wages of sin. But the Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death. The wages that you get for sinning is death. And the Lord says that if a person sins that they're the slave of sin. Amen? Amen.

So if you are a slave of sin, you're certainly not going to enter the kingdom of heaven. So when you hear any of these false prophets that call themselves preachers or teachers of the Bible. And they tell you that the Lord just is going to let you into the kingdom of heaven. He forgave you for your former sins, your past, present and future sins. That's a lie. Okay? Because if you continue sinning after the Lord's power, the Holy Spirit has entered into you and you continue sinning then you're a slave to sin. And God Christ is not your master. At Satan, the master of darkness or the king of the kingdom of darkness is your master. Because you hate the light. You hate the kingdom of light.

And you love the kingdom of darkness. Okay, then what? Pilate represented the full power and authority of the emperor himself, the full force of the mightiest empire in history.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Yes, to that point. Okay, then what?

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

But Pilate's word to Jesus said that all that power had come from above, which was the same as saying.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Right, which is the very same as saying is that the kingdom of heaven. That there isn't anything going on earth that the Lord is not allowing to happen. He's just letting it happen to see what side you're going to choose. Now if you liked the corruption and everything that's happening in this world, that show, that plainly shows that you've chosen the kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of Satan on this earth. But if you hate it, then you will come over on the Lord's side and you will be saved and you'll continue in the kingdom of light, the kingdom of heaven. Then what?

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

All the power that Rome had was from his father.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Right. All power from the beginning of time belongs to the Lord. He doesn't rule people that don't want, that don't choose him as their king. You have to choose because you have a will. And when, because you have a will, you have to discipline yourself if you want to become a child, a bondservant or a child of the kingdom of heaven. You have to have completely forsake the world in all of its lusts because why? Because the one that rules everything on earth or allows everything to happen on earth. People say, why does God let this happen? Wicked men are doing these things. That isn't God. Why did my child get killed? Well, do an assessment of your life, how you're living your life.

God says that your children will be cursed if you and your family will be cursed if any member of the family, if especially the head of the family, is living in the kingdom of darkness, that they're not obeying God. And so you're the one that really did it to the Lord said, if you keep all the commandments, if you have chosen him as the king of your life, and you forsake the king of darkness, the kingdom of darkness, well then, you know, this will not happen to your child or to you. Why is my mother or my father or why is my son or daughter or why is my nephew or why is this person that I love so much, my wife or my husband? Why did God let this happen? Well, fool, the Bible says that he don't believe in God.

And the person that says that there is no God and that he doesn't mean what he says is a fool. And if you like being a fool, I mean, it's so foolish. I look at the presidents and kings in Queens to this world and I just look at them as fools because they're not dealing with the Lord's says in their destiny is hell in the lake of fire unless they repent. That's their destiny. Okay, then what?

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

This was the talk of a kingdom that Pilate understood. Yeah, this was a kingdom talk. Right? He understood it. Maybe you don't because you're supposedly living in a democracy, but it's a copy of the kingdom of God. And it's a very bad imitation because they set it up like when the people that are of the Lord rule well here, they will rule the nations all throughout eternity in the kingdom of heaven. We're the big shots there. And in the spirit, you're a realm where the big shots here on earth, even though this is not God's kingdom, his kingdom is the most powerful kingdom in the world before the kingdom of the world.

Because even Rome, that is the most powerful, visible kingdom that people see is now has no power at all unless it comes from heaven. And so therefore, whenever the Lord has the delight to smash it to pieces and everybody that's in it and burn it to a crisp, that's funny. He'll do it because it's up to his good pleasure to allow. He wants to put in people of the Lord through the test, even if they were living in wicked times and people are put before firing squads and people are buried alive and people are, their heads are cut off with kilotines and people like we have a certain town where there was a situation where we had good relationships with the man that was running for a sheriff.

And then this woman went around telling everybody that in the area that is of the kingdom of darkness, that she gets elected, she'd run the church that we have there out of town. And so here we are preaching the kingdom of heaven and this woman is certainly the devil and the people that are in the town are of the devil, of the kingdom of darkness. Or other words, the kingdom of stupidity, ignorance, death, they're all on their way to hell because they don't like it because we have people that are black and brown in our church and red people and yellow people. Now the Lord created every one of them.

It's amazing how these people, such as that, think they're superior when they're so ignorant, they're so far in darkness. They're the kingdom of ignorance. So that's what the Lord of this darkness, a lot of the city was to keep people in ignorance. And that's what the Lord says to shine the light, to pull the lid off, to expose the darkness. And the darkness, when you resist it, by not being afraid of it and opening your mouth and telling people what it is that they're doing, you bind them here on earth. And when you pray to the Lord, Lord, we bound them here on earth, now bind them in heaven. These people are anti-Semitic. I'm Jewish and they're also against black people.

And there's nothing but a bunch of ignorance. People are so ignorant. They're definitely Ku Klux Klan type monsters. They're children of Satan. And God is allowing it to happen to see if we're still going to preach the gospel and not be afraid. People call it and write me letters saying, well, I'm so glad to see that you're still in there. I've been in here now 42, almost 42 years. And if you think that I'm thrown in the towel at this late time, you're crazy. Don't even think it. I'm not weak. The Lord told Sue I was strong, and I know that I am. Thanks strong, spiritually. Strong to resist Satan. I hate to deal with it. And the Lord said, we must hate. There's two masters, and we must. It's absolute must.

I hate one of you. Can't walk down the middle of the road or on the middle of the fence. One foot on one side, the fence, and one on the other side. You, if you're the Lord, you're completely into the kingdom of light. There's nobody that's walking a little bit in the kingdom of darkness that's going to enter into the kingdom of light. There's a darkness that's overwhelming the entire world, but it's a weak kingdom. Because right here in the Scriptures, it tells us whatever it is. As weak as it is, it gets all of its power from the kingdom of heaven, amen, the kingdom of light. So it's nothing. And if we have the Lord, we have everything. Amen. How could anyone want to throw in the towel to do what?

To no longer have healing from Christ, no longer be prosperous. There's this Rockefeller who was the old man. He had some kind of sickness. He had millions of dollars, maybe even billions, but he couldn't even eat the things that a common man can eat. He had to drink milk. human milk. Poor women, we come and sell them a pint of milk. They came to the nurses and stuff. They put it away in bottles and purify it or whatever they did with it. And that's all that old man could drink. How's that? That he wasn't able to, with all of his money, have proper food, the delights of the earth. Okay, then what else?

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

Jesus was the same as saying that his kingdom was greater than the kingdom of Rome, because it was from his kingdom that Rome received the power to do what it was to have. This is any power today. I mean, God can take the breath out of these people and take the breath and he can at any time that he wants to put this place, destroy entire armies. The entire army is just one angel. He can send His angel down here and create havoc with them. And the Lord is just testing and as soon as we pass the test, those of you who are questioned, well then God takes the, he says, all right.

You know, after 40 days and 40 nights, the Lord rejected Satan and the Lord said, okay, at the end of the past, the angels came and ministered to Him. And then we shall. Amen. Amen. All right, then what?

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

Another time, Pilate questioned Jesus about his kingdom. Quote, are you the king of the Jews? Unquote. Quote, is that your own idea? Jesus asked or did others talk to you about me? Unquote. Are you the king? He's the King of the whole universe. It was so hard for people to believe that a man created the whole heaven, all the heavens and the earth and the fullness of everything in there. But realize it just was only a man so much as it was to just come down to this earth to show us that we have the same power that he has if the same power of God is living in him. So it was the spirit of God that created all things. It was the word of God.

God would say the word in whatever it was that he said that he wanted created. It was created. So it's the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is actually holding this immense globe up. I just heard a preacher who was from Memphis saying that he knew Paul Anderson. Now Paul Anderson used to be with the American Health Studios in Silhouette Figueform, which I was the executive vice president. Paul Anderson was the strongest man in the world. He was able with his back to lift six tons. That's 12,000 pounds. That's incredible. Amen? Or he'd say cut that in half and say it was 6,000 pounds. That's three tons. Amen? That's powerful.

One time he got under a table and told 20 real heavy guys to sit on it and he picked all them up with his back. He passed away when he was a little guy too. He's only 5'9", but he weighed 390 pounds. It wasn't a fat on him. But just think of how powerful the Lord is holding the entire earth up. Amen? Not only the earth, but everything in the entire universe has its own rotation. Everything he says like people marvel at a juggler. He's got everything down so perfectly that you can even tell when the tide is coming in and when there's going to be an eclipse. The spirit that was in Jesus was so people marveled because he raised his dead.

But you have to remember that this same spirit that was in him was the one that just took a bunch of earth together and made a man. And it was just a statue there that blew his breath of life into him and it became a living something that was alive. This statue, Adam became alive. Then all of a sudden he put him to sleep and cut a rib out of him and made a woman. And today everybody's saying well that was a long time ago. We're now masters of our own and we don't believe that in such things. Then you're under the rule of the King of darkness, of ignorance. You're an ignoramus. That's what you are. You're ignorant to the word of God and Satan has blinded the minds of the people of this world. Amen? Amen.

He's blind. You're blind and you're being led by blind people and all of you are going to fall into hell in the lake of fire.

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

Am I a Jew? Conscious Pilate replied, quote, it was your people and your chief priest who handed you over to me. What did you do? The Lord tested him. He doesn't tempt anybody but he tests you. Even a man that buys a few horses likes to go out and test it. Remember when I buy a new car and say I'm going to go out on the highway and blow this thing out. I want to see what it's got under the hood here. And I test it out. If the hosts and everything would snap and water started going and oil and everything, I'm saying this thing. No, I'm turning this thing in. So you test. So the Lord figures if you blow your gaskets or something because of some of the pressure that he allows you to go through.

And you can't make it through it. Well, then he knows that you're not capable or an instrument that he can use because of your faith. You don't read the Bible enough to continue your faith and to build your faith and to give you the power to be able to resist temptation. The Lord states that we're not born with the full armor of God that we must put it on. The Bible plainly tells us that we don't have the mind of Christ. We must put on the mind of Christ. It's the thing that we must physically do and that's done by studying the Bible. Not just reading, but studying the Bible in order to have the power to be able to endure all things. We must endure all things if we wish to enter the kingdom of heaven.

In the Greek text it tells us that the way of entering into the kingdom of heaven is so narrow, so straight and so narrow that we must squeeze and push. You have to stay on the straight and narrow. You have to be, if you will, narrow-minded. You just believe what the Lord says. You try to believe anything else. You get out of the groove, the straight and narrow path, and you're out of the spirit. And if you died during the time that you were out of the spirit, the same spirit of Christ that lived in Christ is not in you. And therefore you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. So these people say there's no possible way that you can fall away. These people are either so deep that they're demonic.

They're preaching the demonic anti-Christ doctrine to make you believe that you can sin after you can become a slave. Slave of sin rather than a slave to truth. The opposite of sin lies or ignorance or stupidity is truth. The opposite of darkness is light. You cannot be of darkness and of light. So remember that you people that have taken that false doctrine, this damning doctrine, this poisonous doctrine. Remember that. All right because you're only having one chance to enter the kingdom of heaven. You're not going to come back. There's no such thing as reincarnation. Reincarnation, these are demon spirits that are in people, a person that lived before, dies, and he had several evil spirits in him.

But those evil spirits depart from them and find somebody with the same weakness. If they have a sex demon or a demon of murder or rape or thieves or drugs or alcohol, they enter in to a person that's kind of prone to that. And they stay in there and when a person is put on their sodium pentothal to find out, some of them go under there to check out if there's anything that was from a former life. It could be a demon of a Chinese person, an English person. And they'll say, oh my god this person wants a Chinese person in his other life. There's still other life. It's appointed unto man who wants to die and after this judgment. Amen? No. Don't say that. Still, the Bible is true. Okay now what else we have here?

Speaker 3 – Sharon, Teaching Reader::

Pontius Pilate replied, quote, it was your people and your chief priest who handed you over to me. So what?

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Of course it was. God tested it and they failed. Amen? Amen. And you're going to fail too. But God excuse you. I'm going to be put to death. I'm going to raise from the dead on the third day. I'm going to rise up. Amen? Okay then what? Pilate asked, what is it that you have done? Unquote. Jesus said, quote, my kingdom is not of this world.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher::

Right. And the people of this world, when you're coming into this world preaching the kingdom of heaven, they think you're weird, you're strange, you're a cult, you're evil. When evil is what God says is evil. Not what man says is evil. The men say is evil. Is Christianity. You ever notice that they don't ever say, you know, we want the doctrine of Buddha to be ended. We cannot teach Buddha in school. So you cannot teach Buddha or a Mohammed or any of these things. Only Christians must be killed. If they're preaching the doctrine of Christ. This is because Satan had the Buddha's and all these other false religions are demonic. Catholicism, all the isms. And so Satan is not going to cast out Satan.

But he's against the spirit of God, the Word of God. And that's why they just even want to eradicate the name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, God. They don't want you to mention it. And so you have to take sides again. And you say, well, that's going to be uncomfortable. Well, if you don't, it's going to be a lot more uncomfortable in hell than the lake of fire. You're going to be there forever. So you have to make up your mind. All right. And you realize that there's a responsibility once you accept the Lord. And the Bible states that we're not to think of the things that we have to go through in this world to have eternal life.

It's nothing in comparison to when we enter into the kingdom of heaven and see everything that the Lord has laid away for those that love and keep his commandments. I mean, you, your darkened minds cannot fathom the beautiful things that God has laid away for those that love him, that keep his commandments to stay out of hell. Now, if you don't think there's a hell, well, you've been leaving God is a liar. And that's how Adam and Eve got into it, just because Satan said that God is a liar. If he tell you that you're going to die, he and You shall not surely die. And that's what he's telling you now. Did God tell you there's a hell on the lake of fire? Did he tell you that? It is once you to just scare you.

That's all it is. That's just, you know, we're living in the twenty-first century now. How could you believe that stuff is what they're saying? I believe it because it's true. I've seen Jesus. I've seen heaven. And I've seen hell. He's shown me visions of it. So I'm a person that Satan really hates a lot. That's why I've been persecuted more than any other person on the face of this earth in these last days. Amen? You have people of all witnesses. I've even had people from the federal government come into my cell when I was put in jail and in prison for keeping the gospel. They came in, a couple of big guys, you know, and they said, I wonder what they locked me in with them? And they said they were smiling.

I thought, what strange thing is this happening to me? Why did this hit at this place in Phoenix? They'll put me in with these two big cops. And they just smiled and said, we just want to shake your hand. Because we know that you really stand for the truth because you've been put through hell and high water. And you still keep coming at them. Praise the Lord. And then the news media said, well, we've just said after I was taken out of prison, they said, we've given you a bad time, Mr. Alamo. And they said, have it, wait. And I said, no. No, no, no, don't think that. Yeah, they smeared us with every accusation imaginable. But I know that I have God, and so it doesn't discourage me at all.

They said, well, what would you think is, son, what do you think about us? And I guess they thought I was going to flatter or something. There were a whole bunch of there. I don't know how many that must have been 30, 20, 30 of them or more. Nicely. What do I think about you? I said, I think you're the biggest liars in the whole world. And they had their pencils ready to write. They said, oh, okay. So that was that. But I mean, I'm keeping on. I'm keeping on, keeping on. Okay. I see my time is almost over. Another sentence is over here. Jesus said, quote, my kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. He doesn't want to live in this world.

I don't want any part of this state and world with the exception of being in here to try to preach the gospel that people can get them to where they believe in the kingdom of Heaven so that their souls can be saved. My kingdom is not of this world. I don't care anything about this kingdom. I don't care about staying here any longer. I don't care if I get slaughtered here because this is what I came into the world, is to die for the sins of you idiots. You people in ignorance, amen? You people of darkness, the kingdom of darkness. What about you out there in Radio Land? My time is up. But I mean, what about you? Do you like this world? Is this what you like?

Is this where you want to think that you want to spend eternity? You're not going to be spending eternity here. Heaven and earth will be renewed. After God burns this world up in Heaven up and refurbishes it and makes it you have it in Earth. It's the fact that the world will abide forever. Yes, but it's a refurbished world. Amen? It's going to be refurbished. Heaven and Earth is going to come down here. Do you want to just sell your soul for what's in this world now? You can't even go down the street without wondering if the whatever town you're living in is going to blow up. To me, I could care less because I know I'm saved.

Now, if you want to have that same confidence, if you want to have that same piece of mind and know that if the breath goes out of your body, that you're going to be in the kingdom of Heaven and there's nothing that can destroy you or annoy you or cause you any pain or suffering there. Wouldn't you like to have that? Or do you love this present world? If you love the present world, I can't understand. God is allowing them to make it so rough that you have to be incredibly spiritually blind to love this world. Oh, I love the scenery and everything, but that's as far as it goes. All right, so if you'd like to be a citizen of the kingdom of Heaven and take part in the commonwealth of Heaven, say this prayer.

Say, my Lord and my God, say it to God. 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 He died on the cross and He shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my filthy sins. 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, former sins away in the precious blood that He shed for me. I know you will not turn me away because I am making a commitment to serve You now. And I know that you've heard me and I know you've answered me and I know I'm saved. And I thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul.

And I just raise your hands up and praise and thank the Lord and Sharon, tell them how they can receive a copy of program number two on eight.
