Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. We're in part 127 of "How to Have God's Life Living in You." This is program number 229.

If you would like a copy of the program, you can have it on CD or audio tape. It is absolutely free, and postage and handling are taken care of. It is all free of charge.

We have some letters to read from different places in the world - testimonials about how the literature the Lord gave me is reaching people and bringing them to the Lord. And, as I said, we have the message.

I have recorded quite a few songs with J.D. Sumner and The Stamps, and some of the congregation told me to get them on the radio program here. This one is with J.D. and The Stamps. It was recorded at Fireside Studios, owned by my old buddy Porter Wagoner. I was very thrilled when he came out one day and said Dolly Parton wrote a song for me. It is called "Hold My Hand." She is talking about the Lord holding her hand.

So I sang it, and Porter came out and said, "Can I sing with you on this, Tony? You can't tell anybody that it is me on there because I'm under contract with RCA Victor." I said, "I won't tell a soul."

You know, I don't think he is going to mind a little plug. Porter Wagoner is one of the best country western singers around, and he is a good old buddy of mine.

All right, let's hear it. I just got a call from Ronnie Blackwood today, and he has invited me up. They have a real nice place in the Smoky Mountains. They say it is just like Branson, Missouri, about two miles from Dollywood. They are singing every morning at breakfast time at one of the places out there. I plan to go up and see Ron and the Blackwood Brothers real soon.

Right now, here is Tony Alamo - myself - singing with J.D. Sumner and The Stamps.

Speaker 4 - Music:
[Music performance: "Swing Down, Sweet Chariot" with repeated chorus and gospel accompaniment.]

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Praise the Lord. Yes, I've got a home on the other side. Amen. How about you, everybody out there in radio land? Praise the Lord. Everybody here, say amen.

Speaker 3 - Congregation / Studio Voices:
Amen.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
When I get out to see old Ron Blackwood, I'm going to make those Blackwood Brothers sing a few songs with me and record. Maybe he will take me into the studio out there and we'll get going again. Praise the Lord. You've got to keep it going. Amen?

Speaker 3 - Congregation / Studio Voices:
Amen.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
All right, now let's go up to the throne of the Lord and ask Him to anoint this. We'll leave everything we've done on this take today. In the meantime, line up "I John" with J.D. Sumner and The Stamps so that we can play that at the end of the program.

Heavenly Father, our Lord and our God, we thank and praise Your holy name for all the blessings You have bestowed upon us. You have given us the knowledge of life, the wisdom and knowledge of life, and You have given us the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is wisdom.

You said, Lord, that people will never serve You if they do not fear You. We pray, Lord, that the fear of the Lord would be poured out. You stated that You would pour out Your Spirit upon all flesh in these last days. This means You are pouring out Your Spirit through Your missionaries - people like myself and others in the world. You are anointing us, and we are preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven to those who are here on earth.

Your goal is to bring about the kingdom of heaven here on earth, just as it is in the kingdom of heaven, and that Your will be done here on earth just as it is in the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God.

Let Your will be done in this program, Father, here on earth. Let every word be Yours. You do the talking, and we will do the listening, Father. We pray that many souls will be saved from this broadcast and that the church will be prosperous and strengthened, nurtured, and given more wisdom, more knowledge, and more understanding of Your Word and Your purpose. Lord, we ask it in the name of Jesus.

Speaker 3 - Congregation / Studio Voices:
Amen.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
All right. Where is the first letter from?

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
From Greece.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Greece. Now the Greeks are the ones who actually invented democracy. They have always been known as thinkers and philosophers - Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and many others. When they were ruling everything in the world, they were thought of as being the wisest people in the world. So let's see what they say about our literature here.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"The Messiah book is excellent."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
The Lord gave that Messiah book to me, and we worked on that book for a minimum of three years - three or four years on that book. What did the letter say again? I want to hear what these wise people say over there.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"The Messiah book is excellent. This study really helps to learn the truth about Him and His coming to earth. Thank you, from Jenny in Thessalonica, Greece."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
From Thessalonica. Now Paul was there, and now we are there. Amen?

Speaker 3 - Congregation / Studio Voices:
Amen.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Hallelujah. We already got it. Now where is the next letter from?

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
From Cameroon.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Okay.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"Dear Pastor Alamo, be blessed in the name of Jesus. I am truly delighted to have received the literature that you have sent me. The Lord bless you and help you with all the believable Bible truths that you are telling the world. You are truly a pastor of the truth. You know that in these states we are in, pastors twist the meaning of the Bible to please the world."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
That is for sure. The false prophets that call themselves pastors, teachers, preachers, and evangelists - you have to watch out, people. Jesus said, take heed what you hear. Amen?

Speaker 3 - Congregation / Studio Voices:
Amen.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Be careful. We're right at the brink of the coming of the Lord. There are so many signs and wonders happening. Watch out for these false prophets, because now they are sending a bunch of them out of the Vatican, and they are being interviewed on shows like Benny Hinn's show and other shows like that, telling of all these different prophecies that are going to happen because, Tony says, they are the ones doing it.

They say this country is going to collapse and this other country is going to collapse, and it makes it look like they are actually prophets. But the Bible tells us which country is going to collapse and which one is going to be given power, and all these things.

They also stated that there is going to be a lot of trouble and that we have to watch out for terrorists, especially in the early fall. I said as soon as I heard that, it was for sure that they were going to do something, because they are not prophets at all. They are false prophets, and they want to be believed. They are telling us those things will happen, and Tony says they are able to tell us about those catastrophes because they are the ones doing it.

God is pouring out His wrath on different places in the world. I talked to Buster in Africa this evening, and he was telling me all the different catastrophes happening in the world - thousands of people drowning in different areas, famines, and other plagues. He says you just do not hear them on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, or these television broadcasts. They keep all that news away from you because they do not want you to believe the message that the Bible says terrible plagues are coming down on earth in the last days.

I would like to edit some of those things out of the conversations that Buster has had with me on the telephone, where he is telling of all these different plagues happening overseas and all the famine and filth where he and his wife are. They are causing quite a sensation over there right now. They are wearing the rhinestone T-shirts with the emblem of our church, and people over there want one.

Anyone can have them as long as they are a distributor. They are free of charge. The literature is free of charge. These tapes are free of charge. The Messiah books and the Bibles are free of charge, if I know you are a distributor and that they are really going to people who want to know the truth.

The reason is that I did not pay one cent to be saved. God came and got me in a very supernatural way, and I would feel awful if I ever charged one penny for Bibles, literature, tapes of the broadcast, or anything like that.

Buster says there is no one over there in Western Africa from these major evangelists. He found two groups of people over there that have been reading my literature, and they are saved. I sent him over there to find out who the real ones are and who is just making up stories. Buster found some people who were not telling the truth, but he did find two large groups of people over there who are really of the Lord. He spends time with them almost every day.

Okay, so let's finish this letter.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"Pastors twist the meaning of the Bible to please the world, but with you it is different. Those who are of the truth will listen to your Bible teachings. John 8:47."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Right. With democracy, you can get a group of people together, a bunch of citizens, and protest different laws and rules and regulations of the government and try to change the government. But this is not so with the kingdom of heaven. The laws are laid down. They are settled in heaven. You did not vote God into office, and you are not going to vote Him out.

He is the supreme being, and He is over us all. We will either do what He says, or we will not be in heaven. We will be in the pit of hell. Therefore, I have chosen to preach only what He says.

Some say, "Why are you fighting President Bush? Don't you know he is our only hope?" If you are a preacher of the gospel, why are you saying that Bush is our hope? Clinton, according to Tony, ordered people to be killed at Waco, and Bush is bombing people on hearsay. But we are praying for them both to be saved. That is what you are supposed to do.

Somebody threw a grenade that did not go off at President Bush. This is the wrong thing to do. All you people out there in radio land, do not ever do anything like that, because then you will be just as bad as they are. We are praying for people who copy what is happening on television.

Tony says the media is controlled by the devil and the Vatican. Young women and men are seeing filth and degeneracy on television and copying it. People who watch violence on television - even little kids - go out and kill their friends or people they go to school with. Scientists may examine brains, but Tony says the issue is not something visible under a microscope. He says it is demon possession.

If you try to make any other reasoning other than what God's Word says, you will miss the cure. Once people accept the Lord Jesus Christ into their heart, with the Father by the Spirit, that demon or demons depart, and they are no longer there. Tony says that after Christ and the Father by the Spirit are in them, they would never commit those crimes.

So it is obvious, Tony says, that Satan is the one fighting those who are preaching the gospel because he does not want there to be a cure. If everyone received the Lord Jesus Christ in their heart, there would be no murder, adultery, fornication, lying, or stealing. God is not a Democrat or a Republican. He is God. You just have to listen to what He says. His law is the law.

Read the Bible and receive Him before it is too late. We are at the end of time.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"May the Creator, who has trusted you with this heavy test, give you the power to take it on without turning neither to the left nor to the right. My team and I need 30 French Bibles, five English Bibles, 30 French Messiah books, five English Messiah books, four large-print Bibles, a Bible dictionary, and quite a few French and English pieces of literature, including The Pope's Secrets and The Fugitive Pope, and many other things that you choose. The Lord bless and watch over you and your work companions. Here is my address: Sister Patrice in Nanga, Cameroon, Africa."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
All right. People who have large groups of Christians, like Africa, are leaders of those groups. Do not send more than 10 Bibles at one time, no more than 10 Messiah books, and no more than 500 pieces of literature. We have been sending out hundreds of Bibles, but Buster says that when people get wind that the Bibles are coming, they can sell for $50 apiece in poverty-stricken places in Africa.

So we are sending 10 at a time so that the leaders can exercise some control. You may be asking for 30 Bibles and so forth, but we will send 10 French Bibles, 10 English Bibles, 10 Messiah books in French, and 10 in English, if they want, and 500 pieces of literature. We can do that every two weeks or every month so that you can have some control.

I used to send out lots and lots of money, but he says not to send more than a thousand a week, because if people get wind that there is money there, they will come crashing in. There are millions and millions - actually a billion to a billion and a half people in Africa - and the same thing with India and China. They will come swarming in and take and sell those Bibles and the different literature.

Okay, next letter please.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
This is from Farmington, Michigan.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Farmington?

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
Yes.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Very good.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"Dear Pastor Tony and ministry saints of God, praise the Lord Jesus. Thank you so very much for the recent shipment of tapes. I listen to them on my way to work, and they are a source of strength. I also listen at work on the internet to your teachings. There is no way one could listen to those teachings and not act upon the truth and be blessed. However, many love to have their ears tickled with false teachings and no change or true repentance in one's life. We who name the name of Christ must depart from iniquity and obey our Savior and Master. I want to be in His number when He calls His bride to go be with Him. Thank you once again for the tapes. Thank you again, and God bless each and every one in the Lord's richest and fullest blessings. Amen, in Jesus' name, with love, Kathy from Farmington, Michigan."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Praise the Lord. Do you have another one?

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
Yes, from Chihuahua, Mexico.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Okay.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"To Pastor Tony Alamo and World Churches. Pastor Tony, receive my salutations from a servant who appreciates you for your work as the minister of God. I send my greetings to all at the Alamo churches, your children, and wife. I write to thank you for the newsletters and the literature that I have just received. Thank you for them because they truly are a blessing from God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know the Lord will continue blessing you greatly.

"There was a time when I would walk from one end to the other and could not find peace. I was searching for God, but I could not find peace until I found the truth through your literature. That has helped deliver me from the chaos I was walking in. I would go to church, but I still felt empty inside. I left feeling the same way as when I walked into the church. But thanks to Brother Jose, who handed me your literature, now I have been distributing it throughout the city. As soon as I began to do this, problems arose because of your literature, because very few people like the truth."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Oh, that is true. But when you know the truth, the truth sets you free. Either the Lord is living in you or Satan is. There is no in-between. Naturally, Tony says, the devil living in most people out there does not want to hear the truth. Satan has put a fear in them of the truth, and they fear it and hate it.

If you people will just listen to the Word of the Lord, pay attention to it, and ignore these feelings when you are hearing the truth, you will see that the things you once hated you will now love, and the things you once loved you will now hate.

I remember before I was saved, I did not want to hear the gospel. I would not hear anybody who was preaching it. Then the Lord gave me some very supernatural experiences, and that is what saved my soul. That brought me to the Lord and led me to fear Him. It was more than awesome to know that God is really alive and that He hears and sees everything we are doing.

When I felt His Spirit bearing down on me, pulling my breath in and out of my body, and talking right into me, that did it. That set me on a spree to start seeking Him. I went to bookstores and churches everywhere, and they were not preaching the same thing God told me.

I had never read a Bible. I thought Bibles were too common and too available for the truth to be in there. But I did open up a Bible, and it happened to be at the Beatitudes: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." I thought, that is what I really want. I want to know what is right.

The truth I found was in the Bible, in the King James Version of the Bible. If you will read that and follow what it says, all the confusion will be gone. Listen to my tapes, read my literature, read the Bible, read the Messiah book, and you will see that this will take all the confusion away from you.

You do not have to fear losing anything. You gain mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters, because we will take care of one another. Those of us who are Christians live in a kingdom now. We are not Democrats or Republicans anymore. We are living in the commonwealth of the kingdom of heaven. We are kingdom people.

It is very hard for people to get out of the school of thought of democracy when they have been raised in it all their lives. But you have to receive the kingdom of heaven in your heart and begin thinking like a kingdom person. Once you do, and once you get used to it, it will be like driving a car or a bicycle. You live the kingdom life, and then all things are added unto you - prosperity, healing, divine intervention, protection from God, and defense. He defends you. It is marvelous.

Do not fail to receive the Lord tonight, and do not be afraid to do it, because God will never hurt you.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"A thousand thank-yous, Brother Tony Alamo. If it were not for you, I would be out in the world drinking and doing drugs. May the Holy Spirit keep guiding your path of truth. Brothers, send me some backpacks so that I can carry the literature. I would need about three of them, if possible, and more literature."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
This person is not asking for anything but some backpacks to carry the literature, because they are evangelists. They are out there winning souls.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"This is from Brother Jaime from Chihuahua, Mexico."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Praise the Lord. Any more?

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
No, that is all for now.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Okay, Sharon, let's go with program 229.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"We are commanded to speak only what our government and the king of our government tells us to speak."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Right. We cannot have our own opinions, our own thoughts, our own devices. If we are diplomats from the kingdom of heaven, we must only quote what the King of our kingdom tells us to say, and we cannot say anything other than that. If you do, then, Tony says, you are still a Democrat or a Republican and you are lost.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"We are not to speak our own personal opinions at all, or our own wants, needs, or views."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
No, because we are diplomats here in the United States who are hooked up with heaven. We are sitting on the throne of God in spirit with the Lord Jesus. We have people in England, Africa, Mexico, Chile, Greece, Italy, France, and all over the world. They are diplomats of the kingdom of heaven in those countries and around 200 countries in the world.

We have to let people know that we are from the kingdom, so we cannot come up with any new laws, and we cannot protest any of God's laws, because He is the ruler of the entire universe. You do not tell God what to do. You are made out of the ground. You can say those things to God, but you are not going to be happy when you run into Him on the day you give up your breath.

Your spirit and soul are going to go on someplace - either heaven or hell and the lake of fire. You had better listen to the King. Amen?

Speaker 3 - Congregation / Studio Voices:
Amen.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
A different kingdom says they will kill you if you do anything other than what they tell you to do. For instance, somebody told me when they went to Singapore, they were merchant sailors on a boat. They were told to get off the boat, and when they lined up, they saw gallows. They were told to observe people being hanged because those people had been smoking pot.

They were told that if they were caught smoking pot or taking pills there, no matter what country they came from, they would go to the gallows. Those are stiff laws, you think, but the Bible says no drunkard will inherit the kingdom of heaven. If you do not go to heaven, there is only one other place you can go, and that is the lake of fire after you go to hell. Amen?

The Bible says you can run on for a long time, but one of these days God is going to cut you down. He lets you hear the Word, and if you reject it, that is when you will be cut down. Or if you start fighting the house of God, you will be cut down. The Word of God is true, and one of these days you will find out that it is absolutely true.

You are not going to change God's laws. You can gather together all the people in Washington, D.C., and say you protest against God's laws, but wait until you stand before the great white throne. We are preaching the gospel to you so you can know these things before you stand before the Lord.

You have to stop lying and stealing. You have to stop committing adultery or fornication. You have to stop murdering people. The Lord says, "Thou shalt not murder." Judgment is Mine, saith the Lord. So be careful. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. You are hearing the law of the kingdom of heaven, and one of these days you will stand there for judgment. It is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the judgment of God.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"Hence, whenever an ambassador is asked by someone on earth to comment on any of the issues of the kingdom of heaven, we must be obligated to say what they are and to say we are from the kingdom of God and what our position is."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Right. If I were on Larry King's show - he will not invite me on - and he asked whether there is a devil, I would say yes. I would tell him that he needs to ask the Lord into his heart. I would say I am a Christian Jew, a completed Jew, just like the apostle Paul and the other apostles. He would know what I was going to say.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"We are ambassadors. The kingdom of heaven has a constitution just like the United States does."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Right, and that constitution is the Bible, the Old and New Testament.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"But the constitution of the kingdom of heaven never ends."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
No. It is settled in heaven. God is not going to change it. You can get all the committees you want and all the lobbyists in Washington, D.C., and say you do not believe in this scripture, but you are not going to change it. You can keep talking about changing the laws of God until you are purple in the face, but in the end, all you will have is a purple face, because God is not going to change one jot or tittle of His Word. Amen?

Speaker 3 - Congregation / Studio Voices:
Amen.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
You can talk and talk until your face turns silver, but when it is all said and done, you will just have a silver face. But the law of God will remain the same. It always does. It never changes. Not like democracy. You have to change. Your heart has to be changed, and then your thinking has to be changed. Christ has to live in your heart and in your brain. The Word of God is Christ, and Christ is the Word of God.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"No one can change it."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
No one. Not even the president of the United States. Nobody can change the law of God - not the Vatican, not Buddhists, not Muslims, not any "isms," not Shintoism, Hinduism, Mary Baker Eddy, Billy Graham, or any other people. There is nobody in the world who is going to change the law of God.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"That constitution is the Bible. 'Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not one jot or tittle shall pass away until all be fulfilled.' Matthew 5:18. So we have to show the Bible, the Word of God, the kingdom's position on every matter."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
The Lord tells us to go into all the places of the world and be ambassadors of the government of God, the government of heaven, the kingdom of heaven, the commonwealth of heaven. In other words, we are to establish kingdom-of-heaven thinking here on this earth. We have to do it now, because we are not going to do it once we die.

We have to work while it is still day. We have a certain dispensation of time to get the gospel out - the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, the truths of the kingdom of God. This is our dispensation to do it. You have to do it with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Without zeal, the Lord is going to spit you out of His mouth.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"He never tells us to go and speak of religion."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Study your Bible. In other words, know your constitution - the kingdom of heaven's constitution - and instill it into this world. We are not living in a Greek government. If we are in the Spirit, we are in the kingdom of heaven. We are not in the Roman government. We are not in the Persian government. We are in the kingdom of God government, the kingdom of heaven. You had better learn your constitution, because what you have in this world with you is what you are going to take out of the world. The only thing you can save is your own soul, and the only way you can save it is if you accept the constitution of the Lord.

He says, believe on the entire Word of God and thou shalt be saved. You cannot receive it all at once, but you can receive salvation and accept Christ into your heart. Then you had better start learning and studying. Put on the whole armor of God, which means the whole Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"Know it, live it, breathe it, in order that you can understand the Lord's position on every issue pertaining to eternal life."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Right. Eat, drink, breathe, and live every moment of your life in the kingdom life. It is not your life anymore. Let the Lord live in you. Let the Word of God live in you.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"It is our nature to resist being ruled or controlled by others."

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Right. Nobody wants to be ruled. People do not want to receive the Word of God and be ruled by it, but we must be ruled by it or else we divorce ourselves right out of the kingdom of heaven. We lose all the wealth, the commonwealth, healing, defense, and the ability to cast out devils, to lay hands on the sick and afflicted, and to raise the dead. We lose all that if we do not discipline ourselves to be ruled by the Word of God.

The Word of God is the Spirit of God also, and it is the power of God unto salvation to those who believe. We have to humble ourselves.

At the beginning of Ezekiel, God tells us that Job was the wisest man in the world. He was the richest and the wisest. Wise means that he feared God more than anybody. At the end of the book, we see that Job did not have full understanding, but he was wise because he feared God and kept His commandments.

All throughout the book of Job, he is arguing and defending himself and telling people about God. But then in the last chapters, God asks Job, "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?" If Job, the wisest person in the world, was humbled by God, who do you think you are to question God or His Word?

Go ahead and read some of it.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, 'Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?'"

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
In other words, He is saying, why is this man talking without knowledge? Job was far wiser than you and I, and we are only wise if we accept the Word of God. Keep reading.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"'Gird up now thy loins like a man.'"

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Strengthen yourself. Get up. The Lord says, let Me ask you some questions.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"'For I will demand of thee, and answer thou Me.'"

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
I want you to answer the questions.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"'Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?'"

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
We were not even around. Where were you people out there when the Lord laid the foundations of the world?

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"'Declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the cornerstone thereof?'"

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Who set the footings? Who measured the depths, the heights, the widths, and the breadths, and set up gravity and all these things? Answer God if you are so smart.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"'When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy...'"

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
Read the part where Job is embarrassed.

Speaker 2 - Reader / Sharon:
"Then Job answered the Lord and said, 'I know that Thou canst do everything, and that no thought can be withholding from Thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.'"

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo:
He says, I did not know anything. I did not understand any of these things. Read that chapter because it goes on and on with that. Read all the different questions the Lord asked Job. Job did not know any of the answers.

Those of you who do not know the answers, I am telling you some answers right now. Here is an answer on how you can get saved and become born again of the Spirit. Even Job did not know that, but you can know it. All you have to do is say this prayer to the Lord, and that is the beginning of salvation.

Say it now. Do not fight the Lord, and do not think that you are wise, because we are not.

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 shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my filthy sins. 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, with the Father by the Spirit.

You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus. You will wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed for me. You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus. You will save my soul. I know because Your Word says so - the Word that created heaven and earth and everything in it. Hallelujah.

Therefore, Lord, Your Word says that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Therefore I know You have heard me, and I know You have answered me, and I know I am saved.

Now raise your hands up and thank Him. Praise the Lord. Say, thank You, Jesus. Praise You, Father. Thank You, Father God. Thank You for all this wisdom in the Bible that tells us all things.

Now, Sharon, tell them how to receive a copy of this program.
