Hello again. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. We are in part 128 of How to Have God's Life Living in You, and this is program number 230. If you would like a copy of it, Sharon will tell you at the end of the program four ways to receive a copy. It is absolutely free, and the postage and handling are taken care of by the Lord over here.

We have several letters here from Italy, Africa, India, and other places, and then we have some real great words from the Lord for you. Right now, I did a song on several albums with Gary Paxton. This is a song he wrote called "Let Him Be All You Need for Tomorrow." I sing it, and I hope you enjoy it. It is on the album Praise the Lord. It is on a real good album called Why Me Lord, written by a friend of mine, Kris Kristofferson.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Right now, let's go up to the throne of the living God and ask the Lord to anoint His service.

Father, we thank and praise Your holy name for eternal life. We thank You that You called us on a mission to win people's souls, people who are out there in the entertainment industry and people who are outside the entertainment industry. You sent Susie and me out to the hippies on Hollywood Boulevard, and that was our first work.

Lord, as You know, not everybody wanted to take these hippies into their homes. Sue and I got the message from You very strongly that You wanted us to become pastors of a church for the hippies. We were called the hippie church. Then, after Your Word spread throughout the world, it became fashionable, and people started wanting to win the hippies and put them on television shows and radio shows.

We had a television program on the air for ten years, and we had all these hippies on there giving their testimonies. Finally, they did not want to be hippies any longer. They wanted to be shining examples of the Lord Jesus Christ. Susie had the seamstresses in the church make suits for everyone, real nice-looking suits and ties, and the sisters had gowns. We recorded and taped our programs at KCOP Channel 13 in Los Angeles, then Channel 9, Channel 5, Opryland, and our own church. We have quite a history in the television world.

I noticed that preachers used to come out in old gray suits and looked extremely drab. Then Sue and I came right out of the heart of Hollywood, and a lot of people started imitating our ministry, or trying to. Pretty soon, all of them were doing the same thing.

But Father, we ask that You do not want us to imitate You, Jesus. You want us to be in You so that we can be holy as You are holy. If we are walking in You and You are in us, then we are certainly holy. We are no longer sinners. Father, I know You want people to know that we become sons of God and are not sinners anymore. That is the past tense.

You want us to execute, as You did while You were here on earth, the purpose of the Father. The purpose of the Father is to preach, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Repent means you do a complete turnaround. You are walking in life one way, but you have to change your heart and your thinking to be that of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God.

When we say, "Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is upon you," it is right here preaching at you. It is the Word of God, God Himself speaking by the Spirit through His servants. Lord, let everyone receive Jesus and receive You today with the Father by the Spirit, that their souls might be saved and then continue on in You.

Lord, let the church be strengthened. Let everyone in the church praise and thank Your holy name, because You live in the praises of the saints. Lord God, we ask in the mighty name of Jesus that souls will be saved and that Yours will be strengthened and elevated very highly. Let them get busy in these last days preaching, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Let them have the integrity to let You speak Your words through them, and let them live the life of which You speak through them. For us to speak one thing and live another way is hypocrisy, and all hypocrites spend eternity in the lake of fire.

Lord God, we ask all these things in Jesus' name.

Speaker 3 - Congregation/Response
Amen.

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

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
From Italy.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
What part of Italy?

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
From San Paolo.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
San Paolo. I think that is by the sea. I love Italy. I was there in Rome and Venice and throughout Italy. I was in Sicily, looking over the place to see how many souls we could win there. Here comes the letter. What do they say?

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
From sunny Italy: Dear Pastor Tony Alamo, greetings to you in the precious and wonderful name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I want to thank you for your blessed letter and let you know that I appreciate your kind words. In return, I am waiting to receive many copies of your blessed Christian literature regarding the end times and the great revelation of the Antichrist to distribute to my Italian brothers for their salvation. I will continue to lift you up in prayer, being confident of this: that He who began His good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you mightily. I am thankful to be your partner in the Lord Jesus Christ. Brother Paul from San Paolo, Italy.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Praise the Lord. I am also very thankful to be in the ministry with you, Brother Paul. God bless you. I know He is. Next?

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
From Angola, Africa.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Okay.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
Man of God, Pastor Alamo, hello. Our sincere greetings in the name of Jesus. The world newsletter from the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries is strongly changing the lives of many people. This literature, which is so greatly inspired by the Holy Spirit, is helping many in my ministry. I have decided to write and tell you what I am feeling in my heart.

I am in the nation of Angola, but I am doing missionary work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where I received your newsletter. I am asking, in the love of Christ, that you help us with the gospel also in Angola, because Angola truly needs Jesus. I am consecrated to the ministry, and by the grace of God, I am starting a ministry called The Message of Life. I am a young brother, 30 years old, married, and the father of two children. I truly need to be directed to serve God well. My request is that, in the love of the Lord, you send your books and Bibles in French so we will be able to strongly evangelize in Jesus. I am inviting you to come to Angola to visit us, and I will become your child, to be taught by you in your vision and to work with you. Love to you, Samuel from Angola.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Praise the Lord. Find out if Buster is near there. He may want to go back to Africa again, not because it is a beautiful place to live, because he said you cannot even believe how horrible it is over there. That is probably why so many people are afraid to go there or do not want to go there, because people are too used to living in the lap of luxury here in the United States.

But we have the gospel, and we need missionaries, ambassadors from the kingdom of heaven, over there. We know that some of these Africans are some of the strongest Christians that Buster has ever seen and that I have ever heard of on the face of this earth. We need to supply them with the wherewithal to get the gospel out all the more. We need to give them Bibles and gospel literature, plus tapes, concordances, and all these things. We also need to give them medicine, food, and clothing, because they are in desperation.

They need toilets over there. They need water desperately. In the area where we are right now, the water they have is salt water, from what I understand. So we bought big tanks for them over there, and water trucks are bringing water over to them. I thank and praise the Lord that we have been able to do that so much. We are teaching them how to dig toilets, because they just go to the toilet on the streets, and it is completely against the will of the Lord for people to be like animals like that.

The Lord has placed this on our hearts. We bought a bunch of picks and shovels, and that is the way we did it in our ministry here in the United States. We still work, and we helped build our own buildings, septic tanks, and leaching fields. We drill water wells on our properties. We hire people to do the water wells because that is out of our knowledge.

There is water over there in West Africa because they are by the sea and everything, but the water is salt water, and they need drinking water. We are praying that God will show us a way to get drinking water to them free of charge and to be able to pump it up. They do not have electricity where it can be pumped up, so we have it delivered by truck, and we are seeking ways to get electricity to them.

You hear these preachers saying, "We cannot do it alone." That is right. Over there, Buster tells us there is no other real gospel work but the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries. If you are going to do something, do not believe the things that the news media has told you about this ministry, because they are lies. Send tithes and offerings. If you do not want to send them to us, send them to the people over there, because they desperately need your help. They are Christians, and they are very strong Christians. Jesus said, "Inasmuch as you have done it to the least of Mine, you have done it unto Me." If you withhold your finances from people like that, and from people like ourselves who are doing a work for the Lord, that is between you and God.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
From India.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
India. All right.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
Dear spiritual father in Jesus Christ, World Pastor Alamo, praise the Lord. I am Pastor Bhushanam from India. How are you? We are praying for your ministry. Thank you so much for your kind and positive reply. Thank you, sir, for the valuable literature that I have received from you. I am happy to receive your English Bibles and literature, and happy to read all the newsletters that you have sent to us. I have read them and received many blessings through your literature.

I can never forget your love and encouragement toward me. You are the man of God. That is why the Holy Spirit has been leading you to send the most powerful Word of God to this unreached area. Hallelujah, amen. We have been praying for you and your powerful ministry worldwide, so that you may bring forth many fruitful souls to Christ abundantly. Indeed, the works of the Lord are great. Hallelujah.

We pray to our God for your gospel services to be fruitful more and more. We praise the Lord. When I distribute your literature, many Hindu people are getting very interested and confessing their sins. Please pray for our ministry in India. We have been praying for your good and sound health, so that our God may utilize you as this powerful vessel in His vineyard. Thank you for your kind cooperation and encouragement toward us through your great help, your powerful prayers. Send Telugu Bibles and your messages on CD. I am waiting for your reply. With love, your dearest brother in Christ, Pastor Bhushanam from Ryavaram, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
These people here on television say, "Send this money and God is going to give you a big car. He is going to send your children to universities. You are going to have a bigger house." But that is not what it is all about. These people who are really Christians do not ask for cars. They do not ask for houses. They are not asking for money other than for food and water. The main thing they possess is the Lord Jesus Christ in their souls. They have salvation.

They do not have televisions, and I am glad they do not, because we do not have them over here in the ministry. Why should we watch what is going on in the world instead of going out there and doing what the gospel tells us to do? I watch the television news. I watch for heresy from people who claim to be Christians. Maybe they are, but they are not mature. I hear so many of them telling lies. You say, "How can you say they lie?" Because the Lord says they are lying.

If they say they are over there and they are not, believe me, they are not. I covered almost all of Europe. I never went to Spain or Portugal, but I was in Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Italy, Greece, the Middle East, and throughout Europe. There was nobody on the streets distributing literature when I was there. None of them had even heard of the people here on television.

The Lord warned us in Matthew chapter 24, when His disciples asked Him when the end would come. He gave a list of things that would happen, including wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and plagues in diverse places.

In Judges chapter 13, I want you to read something, because people say God would never turn His people over to anybody. Read Judges 13:1.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
The children of Israel did evil again. That means they did it again and again. The children of the New Jerusalem, which is the body of Christ, keep doing evil over and over. They are not tithing to the right people. They are fighting the actual true Christians that God has called. What happened after the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of God?

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
And the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
The Lord delivered them into the hands of the Philistines. When you do evil, the Lord is the One who turns you into the hands of Satan. He buffets you and puts you into the hands of Satan. The Philistines, who are the Palestinians today, will say, "Are you calling us Satan?" I say the Lord does. Don't you believe the Lord?

The Lord did the same when the people of Israel did wrong again. He turned them under the Roman Catholic regime of Hitler, and six million of them were slaughtered. The Lord did that, and God promised us He would do that. Read that verse again.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
What is evil? Evil is knowing what the Word of God says and refusing to live the kingdom-of-heaven life. The Lord says, "You are going the wrong way. Turn around and start living the kingdom-of-heaven life." But they did not.

The Bible says the temple and the things the Lord had them build in the wilderness were symbolic of the way things are in the kingdom of heaven. He tells them, "Here are the rules and regulations." He told Adam and Eve the rules and regulations in the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden actually was in Africa, and that is why that land is so cursed, according to what the speaker states here. You drill a well and up comes salt water. Isn't that a curse?

Speaker 3 - Congregation/Response
Yes.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Water has to be trucked in from other areas. There are man-eating plants, serpents, swamps, quicksand, starvation, and tsunamis. It is cursed. Why? Because, as you see, there is the Muslim religion, which the speaker describes as anti-Christ, and there are people there who hate Christians. They send Christians out of the country, put them in prison, or kill them. The speaker says the Lord is cursing them.

I saw the news today where the United Nations told them they had to totally disarm in Lebanon, and already truckloads of military supplies are going back into Lebanon from Iran. They are violating the UN command. If the UN were of the Lord, they would know that all that land over there, including the Arabic nations, belongs to the people of God, the Jews, and now to the Christians. God still loves the Jews, and He is going to bring them back to Him.

You can see the result even 50 or 60 years ago, when I was about seven years old, when God allowed war to happen. Germany and Japan, and a lot of our soldiers were killed. Jews were killed because this is not a Christian nation. The government and masses of people in the United States and throughout the world have received, according to this speaker, the doctrine of Rome, the Antichrist. The ACLU, judges, media, and government are described here as attacking the Bible.

I lived in a building in Tiberias, Israel, on Shofetim Street, with UN peace workers. They claimed to be peace workers, and I was there with the message of true peace. You cannot have peace unless you have peace with God. If not, God will turn you over to the Philistines, or to some band of reasons, and in these days He is turning people over to the Vatican, according to the speaker's statement.

People have diseases, sicknesses, and infirmities, and they never pray. They do not desire to do the will of the Lord. If they kept their minds on the Lord, those diseases, infirmities, and sicknesses would melt away. If you are broke and have no money, God will send somebody to you, as He sent me, Buster, and all the Christians in this church to the poverty-stricken people in Africa.

The UN is going to be angry about that, because, according to the speaker, they love to see people living in squalor. You can see poverty-stricken people in Africa, China, Mexico, Russia, and other places. The Lord wants me to talk about this one scripture: that if you do wickedness in the eyes of the Lord, He will turn you over to wicked people.

If you are committing adultery, fornication, murdering people, Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, and all you other unsaved people who claim to be saved, if you think peace will be brought about that way, all you are doing is turning every country in the world against us. You are causing terrorists to come over here. They do not have a huge army like the United Nations army, but they can mingle in the crowd and drop a bomb here and there.

You are trying to force people to live a life of democracy when democracy is the exact opposite of the kingdom of heaven. In democracy, people can bring petitions about laws they do not like and have them changed. In the kingdom of heaven, the laws of the Lord are settled. You are not going to change one of them. If you are committing adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, murder, or aborting children, you are not getting away with murder on this side of eternity. The speaker states that there is already a curse on you.

President Clinton boasted, according to the speaker, about bombing countries and about Waco. Look what happened to him. He looks like he is on his last legs, and he is going to stand judgment before the Lord. President Clinton, you and I have met before. We had meals together in Alma, Arkansas. I know you, and you know me. You wrote about me in your book, not anything flattering and not anything truthful, according to the speaker, because he calls him a liar.

You said you did not have anything to do with smoking pot, that you smoked it but did not inhale. Who is going to believe that? You lied to the American people and the world, saying that you did not have relations with Miss Lewinsky, and then later you admitted that you did. The speaker says you have no backbone and are a puppet of Satan and the Antichrist.

The Lord told me to get off the ridge. All of us were on the ridge in the Alma and Dyer, Arkansas area. The Lord told me to split up because the federal government was going to come there and kill us, because they do not like Christians, according to the speaker. I moved off the ridge immediately and opened churches in Chicago, Los Angeles, and other places. They wanted to kill us all, but when we split up, the speaker says they decided to go to Waco because all those people were living in the same building.

The speaker accuses government troops of killing one another to make it look like the people there were killing people. He says they claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but they did not, and that they wanted another Pearl Harbor. He says they destroyed the World Trade Center and that those thousands of lives caused trouble for the whole world. He says they must repent because they will stand judgment.

There are people in Los Angeles, according to the speaker, who are giving orders against us because they know we are telling the truth. The speaker states that President Bush senior called to close all of our places, sell all of our property for pennies on the dollar, and send me to prison for six years for nothing. Now, he says, the church does not have anything in its name except one building.

You people are bragging about these demonic things, but the Lord is not going to let you get away with it. I am praying you will be saved, and I encourage everyone in radio land to pray that you will be saved and stop this evil.

Read that verse again.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
The children of Israel, God's chosen people.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
And the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
The Lord says that this regime today, the Roman Empire, is worldwide now. It is the first time there has ever been a worldwide government like this, according to the speaker. It is a Roman government. The United Nations is everywhere, and the UN is the world government, run by the Vatican, according to the speaker. The media is all run together. That is why they suppress news about what is happening in the world.

You think about these things and receive them into your heart. Tell other people about this radio broadcast so they will tune in. Some people do not have shortwave radios, so get them together at your house when I am on so they can hear these things. You are not going to hear this just anywhere.

Samson did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and the Lord turned him over to the Philistines. Asa, even though he was a good man, got turned over to the devil and was killed. In the church, Ananias and Sapphira held back their finances from the work of the Lord and God dropped both of them dead in one day. They sold property and held back some of the money, acting as though it was all the money. Money got to them.

If money gets to you, you will be like the rich man who asked how he could serve the Lord. The Lord told him, "Sell everything you have and come follow Me, and you will have eternal riches in the kingdom of heaven." He could not do it because he had too much. Christ, God come in the flesh, gave everything. He gave His life in the body of Jesus on the cross and went to hell for us. You cannot give what you have so that you can be an heir and joint heir with Christ?

A lot of people think that being an heir and joint heir with Christ means getting a little piece of the action up there. If you are an heir and joint heir with Christ, you get everything in the universe. It is not just a little piece of property. I would not serve the Lord for a mansion. I serve Him so I can escape hell. If I lived in a shack on this side of eternity, that would be good enough for me.

Now let's read the rest of these letters.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
From Zimbabwe, Africa. Dear sir, a friend of mine who is a regular listener to Tony Alamo Ministries over Radio Africa invited me to his house to hear your message. I found out why my good neighbor was hooked on the program. Your message is so inspiring that now, every Thursday when you come on the air, I will be at my friend's house, as I do not have a radio set of my own. May God bless your ministry and work. Yours faithfully, Justin from Nkayi, Zimbabwe.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Praise the Lord. Is that it?

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
Yes.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Sharon, come on.

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

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Right. The human race does not want to be ruled, especially in this democracy, where people think everyone can have their own opinion, their own idea, and their own will. But that is not the way the kingdom of heaven is. You have to begin thinking like the Lord.

That does not sit well with people out there in the world, because they feel they have a right to do what they want. But the Lord says no. If you want to get in here, you have to become part of the commonwealth of the kingdom of God, and that is the exact opposite of democracy. People who appreciate democracy are preaching what the speaker describes as satanic doctrine made up in Greece, by people who worshiped Diana, the Greek goddess. Paul said those people were altogether too superstitious, and all you people in the world who believe in democracy are too superstitious.

Does democracy work? Are things getting better because of democracy?

Speaker 3 - Congregation/Response
No.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Are they getting worse?

Speaker 3 - Congregation/Response
Yes.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
The Bible says it will get worse and worse. But if everybody said, "We are not going to commit adultery with our neighbor's wife. We are not going to commit murder. We are going to live according to the kingdom of God and God's law," then everything would be peaceful.

But they are not going to do it. They prefer to live according to their own way, according to democracy. They want a few cheap kicks on this side of eternity, and then finally spend eternity weeping, crying, gnashing their teeth, and hurting beyond explanation.

You do not want to listen. You do not want to be real. You want to be your own god, your own person. You see television commercials saying, "Don't you want to look bad? Don't you want to look pretty?" They put unborn-baby collagen, according to the speaker, under your eyes and in your lips. The speaker says people are pagan in the worst way. He also claims that sun-tanning products contain human urine and that government and medicine are designed to harm people.

I started getting diabetes because of eating Satan's sweet things. I took pills, and they started hurting my liver and kidneys. I stopped taking them and started eating the way the Lord says: eat right, exercise, get your sleep. I do not take the medication anymore, and I stopped hurting in my kidneys and liver. The speaker says these medicines are geared to kill you because they do not want to pay Social Security benefits.

Mr. Peeler's literature, which I distributed all over the world, says they paid to have me assassinated. They do not want me around because I am telling you how to get right with God and how to stay alive. You are tithing to the wrong ministries. Tithe over here so we can get things going in Africa, India, and here in the United States. I can set up teaching tapes and teach a workforce there to build toilets and other things. I have built several empires here in the United States for people on drugs, narcotics, and alcohol. Sue and I, this ministry, and all the people in this ministry have saved taxpayers billions of dollars, according to the speaker.

You do not want to be told what to do, but you do not know what to do. You are ignorant of how to live successfully and eternally in heaven instead of hell.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
This is due in part to our sinful nature, which we inherited from Adam and Eve.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
Right. You were sinners. We do not stop sinning until the Lord changes us. I know sin brings forth nothing but death.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
This is due in part to our sinful nature, which we inherited from Adam and Eve, and which the Bible states is always in rebellion against God, who is ultimate and absolute authority, and His rulers have been given the same power to rule.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
The word authority - some say the government is what we have to obey. They read from Hebrews and Romans that the authorities are chosen by God, but the speaker says the authorities are the army of God who preach the gospel, not the people from the Antichrist government.

You people are not mature in your faith. You do not understand what the scriptures mean, because you are not really out on the front lines like we are. These authorities of the earth are not Antichrist Roman Catholic authorities. God puts them in authority over satanic people, and we have to obey actual rules like not speeding, not driving while drinking, and things like that. But the true authorities are the people of God.

They were talking about reincarnation and did not have the answer. The Bible says it is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the judgment. You are not coming back again. People ask about those who speak in Chinese or other languages under sodium pentothal. Those are demons living in people, according to the speaker. People are demon-possessed today, like Legion was. Some have one demon, some have a legion of demons. It is no wonder, the speaker says, that a demon that lived in China once before can now be living in a person in the United States.

Read that last statement again.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
This is due in part to our sinful nature, which we inherited from Adam and Eve, and which the Bible states is always in rebellion against God, who is ultimate and absolute authority, and His rulers have been given the same power to rule.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
The speaker says true believers should be running the government. The Bible never tells us there should be separation between the religious and the secular. Moses was in charge of the religious part of the Jews and also did judgments and punishment. There had to be witnesses, not circumstantial evidence, but real evidence.

Paul said, "Dare any of you go to law with these secular government people?" That shows, according to the speaker, that they are not your authority. We are to judge all things according to the will of the Lord. The government comes into churches; it does not separate itself from us. They kill Christians who are not doing anything wrong, according to the speaker. They say they do not have the right to be in the gospel field, but then they say we cannot mention Jesus in court. The speaker calls this a joke, though a tragic one.

The government is coming against the Bible. The speaker asks: Who gave the government the right to come against the Bible, God, or the churches? He says they are trying to force everyone into being Catholic. If you say you are Catholic, you may be off the hook with man, but you are not off the hook with the Lord.

Speaker 2 - Sharon/Reader
Adam and Eve sinned when, out of pride, they thought to be equal with God, their Creator, in order to face freedom from His authority over them.

Speaker 1 - Tony Alamo
That was like preaching democracy to them: independence from God. Look what happened. They had to die, and they were cursed. Man had to live by the sweat of his brow, and women had to go through childbearing and monthly cycles.

My time is up. You people need to know what is going on in the universe. You need to know the kingdom-of-heaven life and get out of the world of democracy. We have to abide by laws that are not offensive to God, but if they are offensive to God, you are to completely turn around and come toward the Lord. Start living the kingdom-of-heaven life.

The Lord loves you. He really loves you, and He does not want you to go through the trials and tribulations you are going through today. He does not want you to suffer, plan your own suicide, or have anybody help you commit suicide. There is so much of that on television today that it is maddening. He wants you to be born again of the Spirit. He wants you to come unto Him. He says, "Come unto Me, all you that are heavy laden, and I will give you Sabbath rest for your souls."

You can come to Him now, and He will save you. Continue listening to the broadcast, receiving the literature, and reading the Bible. Start now by praying to the Lord. Say this prayer:

My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, God come in the flesh. I believe that God in Christ raised Him from the dead by the power of the Spirit of God. I open the door of my heart, and I invite You to come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed for me. You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus. You will save my soul. I know because Your Word says so. Your Word says 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. I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul.

Raise your hands up and praise and thank the Lord.
