Ambassadors of Heaven: Living God’s Word and Representing His Kingdom on Earth

Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host and Preacher

The principal speaker introduces himself as World Pastor Tony Alamo, identifies the recording as Part 125 and program number 227, presents the sermon, comments on the letters and Scripture readings, leads the opening prayer and salvation prayer, and closes the broadcast.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, Reader and Program Assistant

Tony Alamo identifies Sharon by name and asks her to read correspondence, prepared sermon passages, Bible quotations, citations, and the contact information at the end of the program. Her last name is not stated.

Speaker 3 – Rovon, Prerecorded Singer

Tony Alamo introduces a singer whose name is transcribed as “Rovon.” A prerecorded performance of “The Lord’s Prayer” appears near the beginning, and another song excerpt appears at the end. The exact spelling of the performer’s name requires verification.

Speaker 4 – Congregation / Unidentified Respondents

One or more unidentified people occasionally respond with “Amen.” Their individual identities cannot be determined from the transcript.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Hello again. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. This is Part 125 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You.

We have letters to read this evening and a strong message concerning the Kingdom of God and how it is here on earth right now. Those who belong to the Kingdom of Heaven on this earth are to do the Lord’s will on earth as it is done in Heaven.

If you are not doing that, you had better begin, because the Lord is coming back to earth.

This is program number 227. If you would like a copy, we have audiotapes and CDs. Please specify which format you want. It is absolutely free, and the postage and handling are also covered. Sharon will explain how to receive a copy at the end of the program.

Right now, here is a singer who was first on my record label when I was promoting him in 1967.

Susie told me—I was a young Christian at the time—that the Lord wanted me to promote him. Norman Kaye, associated with the Mary Kaye Trio and Norman Kaye Realty in Las Vegas, brought him to me.

He is an opera singer and has been called the world’s greatest singer. He was on my label, Alamo Records. Bernie Freeman and Joe Leahy conducted the sessions.

Later, I sold or transferred him when the Lord said, in effect, “You have proven that you are not crazy for believing in Me, giving up your whole career, and giving up that Beatles album.”

I still own the Beatles album. I promoted Pete Best of the Beatles and many other artists. I started the “20 Original Hits” record offer that you could not buy in stores. It was the type of record offer that Time-Life and Warner later promoted. I say they copied my method of selling records.

I tried to persuade Rovon to perform Christian music, but he wanted to remain in the secular world. He did record a couple of religious songs. One was “The Lord’s Prayer,” which comes from the Bible.

This recording is not on my label. It is on RCA Victor, the company to which I sold or transferred him when the Lord told me to leave the secular music business and work only in the Gospel field.

Here is Rovon singing “The Lord’s Prayer.”

Speaker 3 – Rovon, Prerecorded Singer:

Our Father, which art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom,
And the power,
And the glory,
Forever.

[Portions of the prerecorded performance are indistinct in the source transcript.]

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

The young Rovon was working in a lumberyard when Norman Kaye brought him to me. Ninety days later, he was the star at the Dunes Hotel, appearing above a cast of more than 100 in the Casino de Paris show imported from Paris, France.

I describe that as one of the most meteoric rises to stardom that anyone could remember.

The Lord allowed me to accomplish that to show people that I was not crazy and that I still had all my faculties after being saved. I still have the same capabilities. In fact, I am wiser with them today than I ever was.

However, I remain a Christian, pastor, teacher, preacher, and evangelist.

Right now, let’s go to the throne of the Lord and ask Him to anoint this service.

Lord, as You anointed Jesus after He was baptized in the Jordan River by John, You anointed Him with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove and rested upon Him.

That was an outward pouring of the Holy Spirit, but the anointing also works inwardly when You place a task upon us and call us to do something for You.

The Spirit came upon Samson when he was called to carry out Your judgment against the Philistines.

Lord, I ask You to anoint me with that same Spirit to preach the Gospel. You have not called us in these last days to defend ourselves in battle as Samson and others did in the Old Testament. You have anointed us to preach the Gospel.

It is the same anointing You gave Jesus when He entered the synagogue and declared that He was anointed to preach the Gospel, heal the brokenhearted, and heal those who were sick and afflicted.

Lord Jesus said that the words He spoke were not His own. Father, You passed that ministry to Him, and He stated that He passed the same ministry to us if we keep Your will.

The will of the Father is that the Kingdom of Heaven be preached on earth—that the Kingdom of Heaven is here right now. It is at hand and present in the world.

The more souls that are saved, the more the Kingdom of Heaven is present here, and the fewer people of Hell remain on earth.

Lord, I pray that You anoint every word that comes out of my mouth so that it comes from You. No person can be saved or identified as Yours unless the Father draws that person by the Holy Spirit.

I ask that souls be saved and that the Church be strengthened. I ask it in the mighty name of Jesus.

Everyone says amen.

Speaker 4 – Congregation / Unidentified Respondents:

Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Praise the Lord.

All right, where is the first letter from?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

Nigeria.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

All right. What does it say?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

“Dear Pastor Alamo:

“You are doing a work that greatly benefits the saints. Your books and spiritual materials—”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

The work does not benefit only the saints. It also benefits the outside world—the people who are lost—if they believe.

Speaker 4 – Congregation / Unidentified Respondents:

Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

They know it benefits them because they get saved.

The Bible says God’s will is that worldly people, gamblers, ramblers, backbiters, and people who are lost both inside and outside the churches be saved through what the world calls the foolishness of preaching the Gospel.

It is not my Gospel. It is the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven that the Lord has me preaching in the world today.

This is the dispensation of time the Lord has given me, in which He is to represent Himself in word and deed in and through me. He wants to do the same in and through you, so let Him.

What else does the letter say?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

“Your books and spiritual materials have circulated throughout the world and are working miracles in people’s lives.

“If for no one else, what they have done in my life is a testimony I will live to tell.

“I listened to your audio messages, which I borrowed from a friend, and since then my life has not been the same.

“When I learned that I could write and receive these materials, I decided to contact you. My intention is not only to receive them, but also to share them with as many people as possible, especially sinners like I once was.

“I was living a sinful life without scruples.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

This is a brand-new, born-again Christian. He says that he was a sinner.

All these false prophets say that we are all still sinners and that no one is without sin except the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus takes those sins away and restores you to the office God intended. I say He restores you to an even higher office than Adam and Eve had because He makes you a son of God.

The Bible says you become a son of God. We are sons, and we are also actual members of the Body of Christ.

The Bible tells us that Christ is God’s. The Word is God. The Bible also tells us that we are members of God’s Body and that we are the Bride of God.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

“God will bless you, and I pray that God will continue to bless you.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

He will, in Jesus’ name. Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

“Thanks, and may God be with you forever.

“Brother Chidi, Nigeria, Africa.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

May He be with you forever too, brother.

What is next?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

This letter is from India.

“To Tony Alamo:

“Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. I pray that this letter finds you blessed and prospering in the power of God.

“The Tony Alamo Christian Ministries newsletter is greatly challenging and changing lives in my nation of India. We have distributed your newsletter in rural and hill areas.

“We have heard testimonies that people in those rural and hill areas are changing. They are developing confidence in the Lord Jesus and beginning to pray to Him.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Thank You, Father.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

“Thank God for you and your ministry. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry.

“Your brother in Christ,
“Raju, [city unclear], Andhra Pradesh, India.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

God bless you too, brother.

What else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

This one is from Liberia.

“Dear Pastor Tony Alamo:

“I am Pastor Blatie from Liberia. I am very blessed to be a part of your ministry.

“I am a pastor, and many church workers here have never heard the information you release in your literature. Many pastors need more, and I also need more.

“It is a blessing to many congregations here in Liberia. I share some of the literature on Broad Street in Monrovia.

“I was in a refugee camp in Ghana. Now I am back home for the mission God has given me.

“Many people here in Liberia say you have balanced Bible doctrine. Many call you a Bible surveyor. They say you are teaching us well.

“May the Lord bless you and your ministry.

“Pastor Blatie, Liberia.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

The Lord bless you, brother.

Now, Sharon, let’s continue with How to Have God’s Life Living in and Through You.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

It is obvious that Jesus’ intent was to declare and establish the Kingdom of God and invite all men—all human beings—to enter it.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

It was not only His intent in the past. It remains His intent today. The Lord is still inviting people to come to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Hypocrites and phonies have changed the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ—the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the good news that Heaven is here now on earth, living in human bodies.

Read that last line again.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

It is obvious that Jesus’ intent was to declare and establish the Kingdom of God and invite all men—all human beings—to enter it.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Right—to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior. That remains His intention.

Let’s continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

He wills that this be accomplished through what the world calls the foolishness of preaching the Gospel.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

The world calls it foolishness, but it is God’s wisdom. Christ is the wisdom of God.

When we preach Christ, we preach the wisdom of God unto salvation.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

This is the exact opposite of people who become religious. Their focus is not on the Lord, but on religious activity and a preoccupation with religion.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Right. You can say almost anything about Jesus or God to religious people, but if you criticize Catholicism, they may want to kill you, nail you to a cross, burn you at the stake, or punish you in some other way. The same can happen with other religions, such as Buddhism.

The Antichrist government today considers you a bad person if you preach the Lord Jesus Christ and do as the Lord did by downplaying religion.

He told us to pull down powers and principalities of darkness that do not lead people to Heaven any more than Walt Disney and his caricatures lead people to Heaven.

They are absolutely void of the words of God and the words of eternal life.

The Vatican is, in my view, void of preaching the Kingdom of Heaven and the good news that the Kingdom of Heaven is here on earth.

It claims to be the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is religion. It has religious ceremonies, clothing, rituals, and signs. None of that resembles the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven. I call it hogwash.

You do not see these Kingdom teachings from Disney, the Pope, President Bush, or other presidents. They are not preaching, “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”

It is not the Kingdom of Heaven when governments fire rockets and missiles and threaten nations in order to make them democratic.

If Mr. Bush were a Christian, he would be preaching the Kingdom of God and telling people not merely to become democrats, but to become theocrats—people who believe in God, uphold the good news that the Kingdom of Heaven is here on earth, and call everyone to be saved.

Instead, Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, and other people in the White House do not preach those things. I say they are involved in promiscuous sects and bring false accusations against people who preach the Kingdom of God.

They say we are a cult, and by implication they say Jesus is a cult leader. They twist the Word of God until you can no longer recognize it.

The only way a person can receive the Kingdom of God is by receiving the Word of God, because the Word of God is the Constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Many people study the Constitution of the United States. But I say the one-world government—meaning the Antichrist system, the United Nations, the Pope, and associated powers—acts as though the United States Constitution does not matter.

They take the same position toward the Constitution of the commonwealth of the Kingdom of Heaven.

There is no other way to learn the laws and government of the Kingdom of God. You will never know the King of the Kingdom of Heaven or His glory unless you study its Constitution.

The Lord’s last will and testament is His instruction from Genesis through Revelation concerning how to receive immortality and remain on the straight and narrow path.

If you do not read it and instead trust false prophets who preach the wrong thing, woe unto you.

They may speak well, but Hitler also spoke persuasively. Marilyn Monroe looked good to many people. Tony Curtis told me that kissing her in a movie was like kissing Hitler. Not everything is as good as it looks in this world.

Speaker 4 – Congregation / Unidentified Respondents:

Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

She was not exactly what people of the world believed she was. I cannot imagine Tony Curtis kissing her and saying it was like kissing Hitler. That would be a cold situation.

I compare it to conduct the Lord does not condone. I believe people who persist in homosexual conduct without conversion face eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

People’s preoccupation with going to Heaven can make it seem as though Jesus’ priority was providing an escape hatch from earth. His message, however, concerned the occupation and reclamation of human beings here on earth.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

People say, “Just come to church, give tithes, and you will get into Heaven.”

Then some say there is nothing you have to do except believe in Jesus.

Let me tell you something: The Word of God says in several places that Jesus is the entire Word of God.

If you believe the entire Word of God, you can be saved. If you do not, you are lost and damned.

The Bible’s message is, in effect, “Believe on the Word of God, and you shall be saved”—the entire Word of God.

Jesus is the Word of God. John, chapter 1, verse 1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Verse 14 says the Word came to earth as a man. That man was Jesus Christ.

If you believe in Him—the Word of God—you can be saved.

How can you believe in a person’s name unless you know what the name means and understand the person?

You may know my name, but if you have not heard me or lived around me, you do not know who I am.

Many people bring false accusations against Jesus, even though Jesus has never lived in them and they have never lived with Him.

You have not lived with me either. You do not know me, yet people make decisions based on what I call Satan’s voice.

The Bible says the Antichrist, a satanic being or system, will be given a voice in the last days. I identify that voice with the news media.

If you believe the news media instead of the Bible, remember that the Bible says you can judge whether a person is Christian by what that person says and does.

If you are not helping people and preaching the Kingdom of Heaven, then, according to my interpretation, you are not a Christian.

You can preach Catholicism and live sumptuously, but that is religion and not of the Lord.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” Matthew, chapter 5, verse 5.

That may appear to contradict other statements about Heaven because it promises that believers will inherit the earth.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

The meek, in this sense, are people who are meek before the Lord and willing to do His will. They will possess the land.

Speaker 4 – Congregation / Unidentified Respondents:

Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

He does not want you to be a Caspar Milquetoast. He does not want you to behave like a frightened dove kicked into a corner, whimpering until someone beckons you and pats you on the head.

When the Lord speaks of meekness, He does not mean weakness. He says the Kingdom of Heaven is taken by force and violence. That means we must force our way into the Kingdom.

Many people try to stop us from preaching the Gospel, but we have to continue preaching and distributing literature.

We do not go door to door because, in my view, there are too many indecent people in the world. Someone may open a door without clothing, and the person evangelizing may be exposed to temptation.

Many people do not turn away from evil as the Lord commands; they stare at it. You are not to do that.

We still preach the Gospel. We place literature on automobiles, leave it on doorsteps, and distribute it wherever we can, but we avoid knocking on doors.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

The restoration of the Lord’s dominion over the earth and its environment was described by Jesus as the return of the Kingdom of God to earth.

“But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

He is saying that the Kingdom of God is present before your eyes.

How could I pray to God for rain to fall or stop and then see those things happen if the Kingdom of Heaven were not here on earth?

Jesus said, “You will do the same things that I do.” He also said believers would do even greater works because He was going to the Father.

We must realize that Jesus is telling us the Kingdom of Heaven is here on earth.

How can you tell? He cast out devils. I say that these works demonstrate that God and the Kingdom of Heaven are at hand.

The works I do are not my own. It is the Father in me. The words I say are not my own. It is the Father in me.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

That was Matthew, chapter 12, verse 28.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

That is how the Lord wants it to be with us. It has to be Jesus.

He said, “As the Father has sent Me, so also I send you.”

Speaker 4 – Congregation / Unidentified Respondents:

Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Do what He did.

He empowers you through His life living in you, with the Father, by the Spirit.

You are given power to do what He did. He said He would do even greater things in and through believers. It would be the believer and the Lord doing the work together.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

That was Matthew, chapter 12, verse 28.

In other words, the Kingdom of God is here on earth. Heaven will be on earth.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

It will be on earth, but I am also saying that the Bible teaches it is here on earth now.

The Church Age began on the Day of Pentecost, when thousands of people were present and the Spirit of the Kingdom of Heaven entered them while they were on earth.

Then they began winning thousands of others.

Up to this day, tens of millions or hundreds of millions of souls have been saved, according to the speaker’s estimate. The Kingdom of Heaven was in them.

Now we are at the end of time, and the Kingdom of Heaven desires to enter you so that you can bring others into the Kingdom through preaching and by allowing the Lord to preach the good news through you—that the Kingdom of Heaven is here and at hand.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

This shows that dominion power would return to humanity.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

It has returned. The passage may say it would return, but I am saying it has returned because the Bible says the Kingdom of Heaven is already here.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

Adam lost his dominion through disobedience.

Jesus came to earth not to bring a religion, but a Kingdom—the governing influence of the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

What religion was Paul? What religion was Peter?

Peter was not a pope. Paul was a disciple and apostle. He was Jewish. He was not Catholic.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

Every human being has an opportunity to regain what Adam and Eve lost: dominion over the earth and its environments through the power of the Holy Spirit living in and through us.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

The first dominion is over your own flesh. First, you must take power and dominion over yourself.

If you do not take dominion over yourself, then when you look into the mirror, I say you are looking at Satan because Satan has control of you. You may be able to see it in your own eyes if you look closely.

Do not look too closely, or you may jump back.

If the Kingdom of Heaven is not in you, then Satan is in you.

If you do not remain in the Constitution—the Bible, the Constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven—the Lord will depart from you, and you may not recognize it until you look into the mirror.

If you are perceptive, you may see what I describe as Satan with seven more devils worse than the one originally cast out.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

When the Holy Spirit—the dominion and powerful Spirit of God—is in us, we have power and dominion. The reconnection between Heaven and earth has occurred.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

In other words, “Heaven came down, and glory filled my soul.”

Speaker 4 – Congregation / Unidentified Respondents:

Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Heaven is on earth now.

The problem is that many people do not realize it. They do not understand the Constitution or what the Lord has provided for them.

They do not take, possess, claim, or have faith that they have salvation. They do not understand that they have power and dominion over evil spirits and over their flesh.

They are tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine and move from one place to another.

The Bible says perilous times will come when people are lovers of themselves rather than lovers of God.

Speaker 4 – Congregation / Unidentified Respondents:

Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

They do not hold fast to the Gospel.

If you want to enter Heaven, you must abide in the Lord and in the Constitution. You must read the Constitution every day, and the Constitution is the whole Bible.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

This is why God’s message is called the good news of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The message that the Kingdom of Heaven—the Kingdom of God—is here on earth is the most important message delivered to human beings.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

That is the greatest news. The Kingdom of Heaven is not far away; it is right at hand.

When I am speaking to you, I say you are hearing the Kingdom of Heaven.

You may say, “You have a lot of nerve saying that.”

The Bible tells me that, and it tells you the same thing if you read it.

The Lord tells us to go out and preach the good news that the Kingdom of Heaven is here on earth.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

Jesus came to earth to announce and bring about the Kingdom of Heaven and establish it in human hearts through His death and resurrection.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

If you die to your old life as He died, you will be resurrected spiritually from the dead.

You will become a citizen of the Kingdom of God and a partaker and beneficiary of the commonwealth and all its assets.

“Wealth” means wealth. You suddenly become wealthy in spiritual benefits.

Healing costs a great deal of money when you go to doctors and hospitals. But I teach that healing has already been paid for by the stripes Jesus bore. Salvation is yours, and all the power the Lord said belongs to believers is available.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

As the Son of God, Jesus was the exact likeness of His Father and represented Him perfectly on earth.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

That is what the Lord requires of us.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

To everyone who believed in and followed Him, Jesus restored the soul and spirit, restored the person’s rights in the Kingdom of Heaven, and gave the powerful Holy Spirit so the believer could represent Him and the government of Heaven on earth.

Allowing the Lord to represent Himself in and through us may be described as our heavenly diplomacy: dying to the old life and being resurrected by the Lord’s Spirit so that He can conduct His diplomacy through us.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Right. We have to be diplomatic on earth.

We cannot simply say, “We are sons of God, so we are going to take over the earth.” We have to act as diplomats.

If you are a diplomat of the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot represent it in any way other than the way the Kingdom actually is and what its King commands.

A representative of the United States cannot invent policies based on personal opinion. The United States has representatives and ambassadors in various countries.

Stanley Rader, whom I describe as a friend, was involved in a representative or ambassadorial role concerning the United States and the Republic of China. He had to communicate the laws and policies he was assigned to represent. He could not invent new laws.

An ambassador represents a king, queen, president, or government. Ambassadors must represent their countries and abide by their laws.

I criticize the present one-world system because some foreign diplomats are protected by diplomatic immunity. A garbled portion of the recording describes alleged misconduct involving diplomats, U.S. marshals, and their family members, while authorities were supposedly unable to act.

U.S. marshals told me, when I was imprisoned for what I call the Gospel’s sake, that they disliked assignments involving the United Nations because they felt unable to defend themselves or enforce the law normally.

That is not how the Lord’s ambassadors are to represent Christ or the Kingdom of God in this world.

We must be upright. We cannot be wild, ungodly, unruly, or lawless as I believe many countries and governments are today.

We live in a dangerous world. I say the United States, the Vatican, and the Antichrist government have antagonized many countries through the United Nations.

We are safe if we continue representing the Lord as diplomats and ambassadors from Heaven. Even if someone kills us, our eternal position is secure.

But if we begin living according to the ways of the world and misrepresenting the Lord Jesus Christ, we do not have that protection.

I say the Lord may allow a person to be annihilated, die in a car wreck, contract a dreaded disease, or suffer some other terrible event. You can quote me to the Lord.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

Luke, chapter 22, verse 29 may also be read in this connection because the statement resembles the appointment of an official representative of one government to other nations.

This is the position of an ambassador. It is not a religious designation, but a governmental one concerning the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

God has His own government.

People say government and church are different. Not in the Bible. We are the government, the Church, and the Body of Christ.

People speak of separation between church and state. If church and state are completely separate, why does the government close churches and impose taxes and regulations on them?

They do not charge the Vatican in the same way, according to my claim. If you have dealings with hypocrites in high places, you may escape consequences because you are worldly.

We are not of this world. We are of the Kingdom of Heaven, and we represent it. They hate us because we tell them what they are doing wrong, that they are sinning, and that they will go to Hell if they do not stop.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

God wants to communicate the message of His Kingdom throughout the entire earth.

He does not want to communicate it through merely religious people. He wants to represent Himself personally in and through human beings.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

If you are a religious person, the only way you can become an ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven is to ask the Lord Jesus Christ, with His Father by the Spirit, to enter you.

Only after you leave religion and become saved can you serve in that way.

Salvation is of the Lord, but I say religion is of the devil because it causes souls to go to Hell. The Bible, as I interpret it, is not about religion.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

God lives in human beings by the Holy Spirit.

This is His chosen strategy for carrying His Kingdom to others and throughout the world: making believers messengers and Kingdom people who serve as ambassadors from Heaven to earth.

The word spoken by heavenly ambassadors must be the word of the government of the Kingdom of Heaven. That is how earthly governments operate, and it is how the government of Heaven operates.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

The heavenly government is pure, clean, and law-abiding.

Ungodly diplomats of the one-world government swagger around as though they are invincible. They forget they are human flesh, that they will die, and that they must stand before the Lord.

Then, according to my warning, they will scream in Hell and the Lake of Fire because the suffering will be severe and will never end. They will become conscious that it will never end once they arrive there.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

When we say, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand,” we represent the government of God in the way the Lord wants it represented.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

We have to say what He said.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

When we do that faithfully, we become ambassadors.

We must be good ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven because good ambassadors never speak or employ their own personal opinions. They speak only the official policies of the government they represent.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

In our case, that government is Heaven.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

This is a distinct position the Lord has given, and it is to be revered. Personal opinions and feelings are of no consequence when presenting the Kingdom’s official position.

The qualities of a Kingdom ambassador include the following: God’s representatives are appointed by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. They are not elected to their positions.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Nobody voted me into leadership here on earth. The Lord called and chose me in what I describe as a supernatural way.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

They are appointed by God to represent the Kingdom of Heaven.

When people are appointed by God, they are to represent only the interests of the Kingdom of Heaven. They are not to represent the interests of any earthly nation.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

People ask, “Aren’t you patriotic?”

Yes, I am patriotic toward my country, Heaven.

By being patriotic toward the Kingdom of Heaven, I believe I am acting for the benefit of every nation on earth because I support the Lord’s desire to win people so that their souls can be saved.

We are harmless. We do not use carnal weapons. We do not hate anyone except Satan.

Satan has a hold on many people, but our job is to preach the Kingdom so they can come to their senses and give their lives not to an earthly government, but to the Lord.

Then they can help improve every government in the world.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

When believers faithfully fulfill that assignment, they receive the benefits of the commonwealth of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Right.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

They are covered by the Kingdom and become the responsibility of the Kingdom.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

God covers us with His Kingdom and all the benefits He has provided. Those benefits are ours, and He covers and defends us.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

We are totally protected.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

For example, there was a man in government in Los Angeles who wanted to close our church, and I was told he died about three days ago.

I say he did not get very far. When opponents become too menacing, I believe the Lord removes them.

I was told that cancer, particularly skin cancer, spread through his body and took him into eternity.

Someone called me today because we had a large meeting with officials. They said, “We were not the ones who came against you. It was this one man.”

They mentioned his name, but I cannot remember it. They said he had just died from skin cancer.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

We are protected and defended by the Kingdom government.

We never become citizens of the worldly kingdoms to which we have been assigned to represent Heaven.

We can continue to the end only as the King has stated. This is His idea, not ours.

We are given access to all the commonwealth of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

That includes prosperity, healing, defense, resurrection, power over ourselves, and power and dominion involving the nations. It includes everything.

You notice that I exercise what I call power and dominion over nations by telling them they must be saved or face judgment.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

We are given access to the commonwealth—the wealth—of the Kingdom of Heaven because the Lord assigns and designates us to particular areas of the earth.

Some are designated to particular places, while others are designated to the whole world.

A good ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven does not speak about personal desires or private positions. The ambassador speaks only the Kingdom’s official position.

The goal is to influence the entire world for the Kingdom government because the Lord commanded it.

A good ambassador possesses these qualities and characteristics. They are intertwined in the ministry of the Kingdom of Heaven and were perfectly exemplified by Jesus, the chief representative of Heaven.

These principles apply to every citizen of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Kingdom of the Lord.

Every citizen is appointed by the Lord and empowered to allow Jesus to represent Heaven on earth.

A person may serve as an ambassador within his or her own household. Even if that is the person’s immediate assignment, the person is still an ambassador.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

This is why Jesus continually admonishes us not to worry about our lives, but to focus on the Kingdom of Heaven.

Then everything needed for life and for fulfilling the Kingdom assignment on earth will be provided.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

“Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all these things will be added unto you.”

Speaker 4 – Congregation / Unidentified Respondents:

Amen.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

Those things are provided by the government or commonwealth of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.

Here are several statements by Jesus concerning the Kingdom of Heaven and His diplomatic duty in representing His heavenly government on earth.

Through His Word, He transmitted this responsibility to those who knelt, submitted themselves, and became citizens and ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus said, “My Father is always working to this very day, and I too am working.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

As I see My Father work, I also work.

That is how we are supposed to live. Jesus was the first ambassador from the Kingdom of God, and we have to be like Him.

Ambassadors of Heaven do not bring false reports against people.

We had people doing that, and I put them out of the church. I have tolerated enough of that behavior.

The kingdom of Satan cannot be allowed to live among people of the Kingdom of Heaven, so I removed them.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

“As My Father works, I work also. I too am working.” John, chapter 5, verse 17.

Jesus also said, “I tell you the truth: The Son can do nothing by Himself. He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son also does.” John, chapter 5, verse 19.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

If the Father is in you, you can perceive what the Father wants to do, and He tells you.

We follow the Constitution, which is the Bible. But Jesus also said that when He lives in us with His Father by the Spirit, the Comforter—the Holy Spirit—will teach us all things.

The Holy Spirit can give immediate direction not spelled out as a specific sentence in the Bible, such as telling someone to leave town quickly, depart from a dangerous place, or go somewhere else.

The Constitution teaches us to walk by the Spirit so that we know when to go, when to leave, and what to do.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

This shows that the Father transferred His work to the Son and that the Son transferred the work to us.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

We become sons of God by receiving the Son, with the Father, by the Spirit within us.

If we lay down our own lives and let the Son guide us through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, then we know we are sons of God because we keep His commandments.

The epistles of John say that we know we are of God because we keep His commandments.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

Jesus said, “By Myself I can do nothing. I judge only as I hear, and My judgment is just, for I seek not to please Myself but Him who sent Me.” John, chapter 5, verse 30.

Another passage says, “Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

If you eat Jesus’ flesh—which I interpret as the Word of God—and drink His blood—which I interpret as the Holy Spirit—then you will live and be in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Anyone who refuses to eat His flesh and drink His blood, in the spiritual sense I am teaching, will not spend eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

The Bible says many people left Him because of that teaching. The passage is associated with John, chapter 6, verse 66.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

That is John 6:66, which resembles the number associated with the Antichrist.

John is also the writer who tells us there were many antichrists in the world even then. I teach that the Antichrist is a corporate body made up of many antichrist people.

Continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:

The next citation appears to continue with John, chapter 6, verse 67.

Another Scripture says, “I have much to say in judgment of you. But He who sent Me is reliable, and what I have heard from Him I tell the world.” John, chapter 8, verse 26.

Jesus also said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the One I claim to be and that I do nothing on My own, but speak just what the Father has taught Me.

“The One who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, for I always do what pleases Him.” John, chapter 8, verses 28 through 29.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:

We have to be like Jesus. That means we have to do everything the Father says.

The Father says you must be born again in the Spirit. He said that through Jesus.

Jesus said all the words He spoke and the things He did were not His own, but came from the Father.

To be born again and have God’s life living in you, say this prayer to the Lord.

Say it now if you want to become a member of the commonwealth of the Kingdom of God, enter Heaven, and avoid what the Word of God describes as eternal punishment in Hell.

If you refuse to believe the Word of God, that disbelief is something God hates.

If you want to be saved, say these words:

“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 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 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 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 I am saved.

“You say that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I have called upon You, and I know I am saved.

“I thank You and praise You, Lord, for saving my soul.”

Raise your hands to the Father and to Jesus and say, “Thank You, Jesus. Praise You, Father. Praise the Lord. Thank You, Jesus.”
