Ep185 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 83

Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries

Sowing the Seed: Tony Alamo on the Holy Spirit, Evangelism, and God’s Life Living Through Believers
Ep185 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 83

Tony Alamo Introduces Program 185

In this archival program, identified as program 185 and part 83 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Tony Alamo opens by offering free copies of the program, Bibles, literature, and other ministry materials. He emphasizes that because God gave salvation freely, he wants the ministry’s materials to go out freely as well. Alamo then turns toward prayer and begins teaching about salvation, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, spiritual power, and the need for believers to continue Christ’s work on earth.

Salvation, the Holy Spirit, and Spiritual Power

Alamo teaches that being born again brings the presence of the Lord into a person, but he distinguishes that from the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which he says gives believers power for ministry. He discusses the disciples after Christ’s resurrection, including Thomas’s doubt and Jesus appearing to them in a locked room. Alamo says Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit into them, but later instructed them to wait in Jerusalem until they received greater power through the Holy Spirit. In Alamo’s view, that power is necessary for preaching, teaching, prophesying, enduring persecution, and continuing Christ’s incarnation through believers.

Preaching the Word as Sowing Seed

The central image of the sermon is sowing seed. Alamo compares the Word of God to seed that must not merely be eaten or kept for oneself, but planted in others through preaching and literature distribution. He argues that prayer is important, but that people are saved by hearing the Word preached in the Spirit. He says Christians who only receive messages but never share them are like people who eat seed instead of planting it, leaving no harvest. For Alamo, the harvest means souls won for Christ, and he repeatedly urges listeners to sow the Word into the world.

Rejecting “Once Saved, Always Saved”

Alamo strongly rejects the idea that believers cannot fall away after salvation. He recounts a conversation with a local judge who, according to Alamo, believed Jesus had done all the work and that Christians did not need to labor in ministry. Alamo presents this as false doctrine, connecting it with what he calls a Baptist teaching of “once saved, always saved.” He argues that the Bible teaches believers will be judged by their works and that refusing to sow the seed of God’s Word leaves a person spiritually endangered.

Prayer for Anointing, Salvation, and Open Doors

Alamo then leads a long prayer asking God to anoint the broadcast, save souls, strengthen churches, and help listeners receive and sow the Word of God. He prays that believers will not fall away and that Satan will be bound through the preaching of the Word. He also prays for President Bush, the administration, people in Catholicism, Buddhism, Islam, Shintoism, and other religions, as well as the people of Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. He teaches that Gentile believers become “spiritual Jews” through accepting Christ and says God promises salvation, healing, and prosperity for those who receive and obey the Word.

Letter from Ghana: Asking for Teaching and Literature

The first listener letter comes from Ghana, Africa, from a man named Gilbert who says he was deeply touched after reading Alamo’s “Mass Suicide” literature and gave his life to Christ. He asks for teachings, a study Bible, tracts, and literature about Roman religion. Alamo responds by warning against study Bibles and theological seminaries, which he says often contain heresy or weaken faith. He offers to send a King James Bible and literature, while encouraging Gilbert to study with him through the broadcast and continue distributing literature.

Letter from New York: Reaching Jewish Friends

The next letter comes from Mattydale, New York, from Catherine, who says she works at a hospital and has Jewish friends, especially doctors, with whom she wants to share The Messiah. She asks if she can purchase several copies of the book and other ministry materials, as well as ministry T-shirts. Alamo insists that the books and materials are free, tells the ministry to send her a large supply of The Messiah, and praises her desire to share the literature with patients and employees. He uses the letter as another example of someone eating the seed and then sowing it to others.

Letter from Nigeria: Literature Distribution and Church Planting

A major letter comes from Pastor Henry in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, who says Alamo’s literature has brought testimonies of salvation, restoration, and blessing in Nigeria. He says he learned about Alamo through Brother Doug online and believes he was born to serve under Alamo’s ministry. Pastor Henry describes himself as a church planter and evangelist who has planted several churches since 1988 and wants to establish literature distribution centers across Nigeria. He asks to connect his church work officially with Alamo’s ministry. Alamo responds warmly, saying Pastor Henry has his blessing and offering whatever ministry resources are available.

The Love of Christ as Rushing Waters

Near the end, Alamo and Sharon return to the teaching from 2 Corinthians 5:14–15, emphasizing that the love of Christ constrains believers so they should no longer live for themselves but for the one who died and rose again. Alamo interprets this love as like “rushing waters” flowing from God’s throne and compelling believers to consecrate themselves to God. He says believers must live in the Spirit, manifest Christ’s love, lift one another up, and continue sowing the Word rather than living for themselves.

Persecution Claims, Closing Prayer, and Final Invitation

Alamo also discusses what he describes as persecution against his Los Angeles church, saying officials came to the property with bulletproof vests while the ministry had no weapons. He asks listeners to pray for the situation, then has Sharon give contact information for requesting program 185. Alamo closes by inviting listeners to be saved through a salvation prayer, asking Jesus to forgive sins, enter the heart, wash sins away through His blood, and save the soul. He tells new believers to learn the Word, request literature, lead others to the broadcasts, and help spread the “soul-winning” messages.

Show Transcript (automatic text, but it is not 100 percent accurate)

Hi again, this is World Pastor Tony Alum.
Today we're in part 83 of How to Have God's Life, Living in You.
And we're going to, this is program number 185.
So if you'd like a copy of it, it is program 185.
And we'll give you at the end of this program, I'll share and we'll tell you how you can receive the program.
Four different ways.
And please specify whether you want a, as a, audio tape or CD.
It's free, the post teaching handling are absolutely free.
Everything is free.
If you need a Bible to study, we give the King James version, so there's no point in asking for any other version.
And it'll be yours.
We also have the cybups and a lot of different literature that I've written down to the past.
And that'll be yours to absolutely free.
God gave me salvation free freely and I want to give everything that the Lord gives me out to people freely.
And maybe some ministers don't feel that way, but that's the way I feel.
And we have some letters today.
And we have, as I said, Park 83 of How to Have Gods Life.
Living in you right now, let's go to the throne of the Almighty God.
I know that the presence of the Lord is in me right now because I've been born again in the Spirit.
And I pray that the presence of the Lord is in you as well.
And I pray also that I will pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
I sought for it after I was saved for around three years before I received it.
And I really knew that it was an addition to salvation.
It is the very spirit that God says will have power after we receive it.
There was a closed room where the disciples were frightened.
Right after the Lord's crucifixion, but after he resurrected, they were still locked up because some of them didn't believe that he had risen from the dead.
And he appeared to them in the room.
And he stated that he was flesh and blood and bone.
And one of the doubters, Dowdy and Thomas, was there as well.
And before, and he had stated that I will not believe that he has risen from the dead in the Second Trust, my hand, into his side and poked my fingers through his hands for the nails were driven.
And while he was in the, while Jesus was in the room with them, he breathed on them and said, received the Holy Spirit.
And so this was the initial preliminary, uh, intealing of the Holy Spirit so that they were saved now.
And then he said, but I want you to carry in Jerusalem, don't go until, and uh, you received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is the spirit that people receive that they may have power.
They may be empowered to be in the ministry.
Being in the ministry is not, um, would be impossible because the ministry is very rough.
But when you receive power, after you receive power of the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you are empowered to be a minister, a teacher, a preacher, or a prophet.
And then the flak that you received doesn't bother you that much.
We've had, uh, I mean, personally have had, and these people in the church have had a lot of persecution down through the years because the Bible says that we're in a very dark world.
And this world is in darkness.
And when the Lord came into the world, he brought light.
And then when he resurrected into the kingdom of heaven, just before that he said, she prayed for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
So they gathered together after his resurrection.
There were 500 people that saw him ascend in a cloud into the kingdom of God.
And then, uh, only 120 of them show it up.
What happened to the rest of them?
Hmm, the 350.
I mean, some people can see incredible miracles.
What would you do if you saw a man raising up into the kingdom of God in the cloud?
And he's instructing that he's going to send the Comforter down to live within us so that we can be the continuation of the Lord's incarnation here on earth.
But we can't really be the continuation of his incarnation.
I mean, like he was in the ministry unless we received the baptism of the Holy Spirit because it's obvious that we don't have power until the Holy Spirit comes upon us because he said, he shall have power after the Holy Spirit descends on you after you've been filled with the Holy Spirit.
And so it only says, this is, he said this after they blew the Holy Spirit into them.
So that was temporary.
But you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit because you need the power to go through the tribulations.
I know that there's a lot of false prophets telling you that you're going to be raptured out of the tribulations, but that's contrary to the word of God.
The word God says that we're going to be taken by the Lord immediately after the tribulations.
So you have to remember that.
So when he hears Thomas in the room and so the Lord, he says, you know, Thomas, he said that you wouldn't believe on me until you put your thrust your hand into my side and put your fingers into the nail pierced hands of mine.
Now go ahead and stuff your hand into me.
And I'm not scared. I'm flesh and bone. This is a resurrected human body.
And I'm going to be transformed, translated into an ecclesiastical body.
And then I'm going to be, then I'm going away and I'm going to send myself the comforter into you so that you'll have the same strength.
The power of God in you and on you to be able to preach the gospel.
There's a lot of preachers that are not really patiently false prophets.
They memorize scriptures, but they memorize it in the letter.
And some of the times when they are preaching, you can hear.
I mean, you can feel the presence of the Lord, even if a parrot or one of these magpies where you split your tongue, and if they knew the scriptures, you'd feel the Holy Spirit on it.
Because the scriptures are the Holy Spirit.
The words that I speak unto you, Jesus, are our spirit.
In other words, Holy Spirit, super natural, not natural, but there's super in the natural of the Holy Spirit.
And he says the words that I speak unto you are spirit and they are alive.
Now, a lot of the Bible tells us to eat, to take the seed, which is the word of God after we've been anointed with the Holy Spirit and so did into the world.
Because the Holy Spirit is the word in the spirit when the anointing comes down from the kingdom of heaven for those that pray for the anointing to happen.
Well, the Lord God himself, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the fullness of the Godhead bodily, speaks right out of your mouth as he's doing with me right now.
There's something that the Spirit does when it's being preached to you that moves inside of you and makes you to know that it's God doing this talking.
Now, some people have a habit of eating the seed.
You know, if you have a bag of seed out in the garage, and you're so afraid that you're not going to have it.
You're not going to have a harvest if you plant it.
And you're hungry, so you eat the seed. You're not going to have a harvest, are you?
No, because you ate all the seed up.
Well, a lot of people have called themselves Christians have a habit of eating the seed, but they never planted.
They don't sow it.
In order to sow the seeds of the word of God, you have to preach the word to people.
A lot of people say, well, my parents and my grandmother and father, my sons and daughter, and my friends are not saying,
well, you pray that they get saved.
The Bible says that people don't get saved by praying.
They get saved by the word being preached to them in the Spirit.
And so if you're a Christian that has never preached the gospel to anybody, that you just think you're so pious,
you've seen the picture of the old man sitting at the table with a couple of loads of bread there and a little bowl full of bread.
And a little bowl full of bananas and oranges and apples, and he's praying.
Praying is extremely good because this is where our power comes from.
But if you're going to win souls, you have to preach the gospel to them, all right?
Because it's the word of God that builds up faith, and it's also the seed that you have to sow.
You can't just eat the word and not sow it.
You have to take the bag of wheat or whatever you've got in the barn that you want to sow into the ground, if you want to have a harvest.
Okay?
So you just, you say, well, I don't know, maybe there'll be a rainstorm or a freeze or something, and maybe this wheat won't come up.
And so therefore I'm just wasting this wheat if I throw it in the ground, or if it's oats or milo or whatever,
you kind of seed you want to plant, or if the trees or something like that fruit bearing trays.
So I'll just eat the seeds up.
Then I'll do it.
And I don't understand how people believe that after you've heard 500,000, 2, 3,000 messages or even one or two messages,
and you receive them into your body, in other words, you eat the seed.
But you don't take the seed, the things that you hear, and then plant them into other people, because that's what the Lord has called us for.
That's what he's saved us for.
I was talking to a man that came over to my house today, and he wants to be, he is presently a judge.
And he wanted me to have the folks that believe in my ministry in this general area to vote for him.
He says, I believe that Jesus Christ has done all the work, he's planted all the seed, he's done all these things, so we don't have to do anything.
I says, well, I don't, I know what you believe, I know what you believe.
He says, I believe that I'm saved and there's no way I can fall away.
And I says, okay, he's, and I know what you believe, in other words, he didn't want me to say it.
He heard me maybe on tape, I read my literature and things like that, but he didn't want me in person to have the guts enough to say to a judge in my area where we have a church and everything.
Well, judge, you're wrong.
He says, now, you know, I just won't, I don't care if a thousand people tell me, you know, that we don't have to sow seed and all this sort of thing, that we could just eat all the seed up.
He didn't say that, but that's what he was saying.
You know, I know I'm saying because Jesus is the one that sowed the seed.
The Bible says that the sower has got to go out into the field and sow because you can kill the ground, you can know the gospel, you can just kill yourself full of seed, but if you don't plant it, it's not going to bring forth a harvest of souls for the Lord.
And if you have a field and you tell it and put fertilizer out there and you water it and everything, but there's no seed in the ground, my friend, you're not going to receive a harvest.
All right.
And if you plant just one seed out there, you'll get one seed back.
If you plant two seeds, you get two.
I'm the type of a person I've always been considered told me you're like an overkill person.
I like to sow hundreds of millions and trillions of bags of seed everywhere because the world is the ground that we sow it into, the people in the world.
And I want a large harvest and I know the Lord wants a large harvest.
He says, go out into all the world and preach this gospel.
Those that believe, in other words, that they have to sow seed, they have to take it into them and then they like, we're bags of seed and then we have to take the seed and sow it throughout the world if we're going to expect a harvest.
And so he says, you know, those that believe in the word which is the seed shall be saved.
And those that just eat the seed and don't believe that you have to sow it, they shall be damned.
Or those that don't receive the seed at all, they'll be damned.
So I hate to tell the judge, you know, I mean, but you're damned.
I mean, he just doesn't want to hear the truth.
Why? Because he wants to remain a judge.
And he knows that a lot of the people won't vote for him if he creates this gospel to him.
In other words, the judge knows somebody is a drug addict.
And well, you know, if you're a drug addict, you're going to go to hell.
I don't believe I have to do that, he's saying.
I believe that only Jesus, he did all the work.
This is some Baptist doctrine.
And once they've always saved, I'm not going to hell.
Well, he just loves to make up his own Bible.
He doesn't want to hear the truth because the love of the truth does not exist in him.
But I pray this evening that you'll receive what I'm saying, what the Bible says.
And that you'll receive the seed.
And then also you'll begin sowing the seed out into the world.
And if you don't know how to preach, right now you may be getting saved today, tonight,
this afternoon, whenever you're hearing this broadcast, this morning.
But you may not know how to present the gospel as well as you will in a half a year, a year,
a year, two, three, four, five, six, ten, fifteen years if there were that much time left.
But at least you should distribute my literature because you can easily see that by these letters
that we're going to read pretty soon here, that people are receiving the seed in them
from this literature.
And you can be a distributor of the literature, the Messiah books, and you can people that need
the symbols you can let them know or will you can order them from me and you'll get them
absolutely free.
So there's no excuse for you to not be in the ministry.
But you need to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit so that you can have power to endure
any of the fiery darce that comes your way through persecution and character assassination.
People saying all kinds of evil things about you.
If we weren't doing a job for the Lord, there would be no persecution whatsoever.
If you're church or you're not receiving persecution for the gospel's sake, well, you
know, there must be something wrong with your doctrine.
It could be that you're just an easier of seed and not a slower of seed.
Amen.
Right now let's go to the throne of the Lord to ask him to pour out his outward in 19,
the power of God on this service today, and that it'll be God saying whatever it is that he
will be said, we're actually preaching this evening and we know that many of our programs
run in the mornings, afternoons and evenings.
So Lord, to pour out your anointing that you'll speak through me in the name of Jesus and
that we pray, Lord, that the souls are being prepared to receive your word, the seed,
that the seed may start growing in them because your word also is the water that waters the
seed and makes the seed grow.
Now the seed, the book of Genesis, states is Jesus because Jesus, the Bible also says to
the book of relation in chapter 1 in John, the gospel of John, that he says is a word of God.
Father, that's why you said those that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved.
Well in other words that means those that believe on the word of God shall be saved, the whole
word of God from Genesis throughout Revelation.
Well how can we learn it all?
Well you may not learn all of it in your life, especially if you're older, but the Lord sees
what we do and he'll know if you're not just eating the word and keeping it in the sack,
but he'll know if you're eating and sowing.
And so that's the main thing that you're doing with whatever faith, whatever capacity you
have within you.
If you're sowing the seed of God, the Lord sees it, he knows it, and he recognizes it and he
says that you'll be blessed.
And that he blesses you here on earth and the reason that the Lord blesses us to give us
the wherewithal, the finances or whatever or the open doors that he gives us so that we
can bless others.
And the more we bless others, the more he'll bless us so that we have the wherewithal,
the finances or the open doors so that we can bless people by sowing seed into them.
Because if we don't sow seed, then we are not at all the children of the Lord because that's
what he called us to do.
Jesus showed us what to do and then he left and then moved into us so that he could be
a continuation father of the incarnation of Christ living in and through many of us.
At the time that you were here, Jesus, you were one person that had the power of God in you.
But you were here, Lord, you were confined to time and space.
Only one person can only do so much even with the power of God.
That's why you wanted to, after being crucified, resurrect from death hell in the grave.
And after your ascension, you wanted to pour your spirit into others so that you could continue
your work in and through others, so that you would represent yourself in us, millions of people,
so that you could be all over the entire earth and the human beings.
I know that it's possible for you to, if you wanted to, have set it up this way,
that you could open this guy and let everybody see you in the sky and shake a rod at them
and everybody thaw on their face and start worshiping you.
But it pleases you, Father.
That the world would be saved by the foolishness of human beings with you in them preaching the gospel.
That's what really pleases you.
So that's the way you set it up, Father.
And that's the way that we're going to pray that you are knowing this this evening,
that the souls in the world that are unsaved will be saved,
and that the people that are in the churches that are discouraged,
the people in the churches that are at this present time thinking about falling away from you.
And I pray that there's none of them out in the world that are listening to me right now,
but if there are, go and strengthen them, strengthen the church,
and give them the desire to take the seed, the Word of God,
and sow it into the world so that you can bless them,
that they may bless others, Lord, we ask it,
that you get the straight word to them as well,
where you save whatsoever we bind on earth, so we bind in heaven.
And we know that we bind Satan here on earth by preaching your word, sowing the seed,
because that's what is the thing that saves people's souls.
And it kicks, when you answer them, the devil is kicked out of them.
And we know that we don't have to wait for the kingdom of heaven
because you stated that the kingdom of heaven is within us.
You stated that the kingdom of heaven cometh not with observation,
but the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
It enters into us, and that's what we're supposed to tell people,
is the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
This word, which is very nigh to us, but very near to us,
is to be preached into others, and when we're doing that,
the kingdom of heaven is being preached into them.
And when they receive the kingdom of heaven, they're saved.
They're not going to go to hell on the lake of fire,
but they're going to go to the kingdom of heaven, where you are,
Jesus, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these three are one.
And our loved ones have believed on you and done what you said
that they're supposed to do, will be there as well, waiting for us.
And it makes my heart a free choice to know that my loved ones,
if they believe what I say, and they are, believing what I told them of your word
that you said through me, my dear brother Danny is now with you,
and my mother is with you because of what you said in and through me.
Lord, do that for those that are in the world.
And in the church, I ask it, Lord, that you bind Satan in heaven
as we bind him here on earth by exposing him,
and we expose him by your word.
Lord, we ask it, and also by showing people who he is,
and what you said about him. Lord, we ask that you do that in the mighty name,
and bless all of the people, Lord bless, the people that are wrong.
We blessen them with the word of God.
I was ready to end this prayer, but you stopped me from it.
Lord, I ask that you save President Bush and the whole administration,
and I pray that you save people that are in the Catholic Church, the cult,
and in Buddhism, in Muhammedism, in Shintoism, and all the other false religions,
and that you open the eyes of the people of Israel.
Lord, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
We know that the Jews are your chosen people,
and you'll bless those that bless the Jews.
And when we accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior,
this means that we are taking on.
If you're a Gentile, you become a spiritual Jew, and you get all the blessings
that the Jews will receive. We become spiritual Jews.
And that means that the Jews, many seem to just float right to them,
and those that need prosperity, if they accept the Lord Jesus Christ
and do what he says, then prosperity was another promise.
You promise the salvation.
You promise this, Father God, healing that it's already ours,
if we receive what you say, and prosperity as well.
Dearly beloved, I would that you prosper as your soul's prosper.
You don't want us to be prosperous for ourselves, but you prosper us
so that we can prosper as others.
It costs money to be to bibles for people,
and the Messiah loves to do the printing to pay for this radio.
It costends a thousand dollars to be on the radio.
Every month, and we pray, Lord, that people will begin prospering
because that they'll receive you, and that they will not think that
we're any money, work because we tell people where they can give tithes
and offerings over seas and just send the money straight over there.
I don't care about your money. I just care about your soul.
You want to see your soul saved.
We just tithed a lot today to ministries in Africa,
and we've got poor starving people over there, just little children,
and we pray that you'll do the same thing.
Lord God, we ask that all these things will be accomplished by your might and power,
for we ask it in Jesus' name, and everybody says amen.
Amen.
All right, so where's the first letter from?
From Ghana, Africa.
Okay, let me hear what it says.
Dear beloved, Pastor in Christ,
greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
the author and finisher of our salvation to you and all the brethren.
This is my first time writing to you.
I was deeply touched when I read the mass suicide literature handed to me by a friend.
I gave my life to Christ straight away.
What I need is some teachings that will strengthen my faith in Christ.
A study Bible, some tracks to share with friends.
Well, the study Bibles, there's a lot of them that are fairly good,
but I've never found one that didn't have some heresy in it.
Most of them preach.
Once they've always said that you don't have to do the work just like that judge said.
When the Bible says that we're going to be judged by the works that we do or don't do for the Lord.
The Lord is called us to work, amen?
Amen.
And so these people, I don't know what Bible they're reading, they're not.
They're just making up their own Bible.
And so a study Bible, so I know you study with me, okay?
The Lord told me to be the world pastor or teacher for all those of you out there that would like to be in the ministry.
I've found that all the theological seminaries that I've checked into are more at sowing doubt than they are faith.
And it's by faith that we're saved.
It's by faith that we're healed.
By faith that we're prospered.
By faith that we go out into the world and do what the Lord said.
So many people just eat the word and eat it and eat it and they never win one soul.
And they really don't.
And they think that God is going to bless them.
But he says that we're going to all the world and sow this gospel to preach the gospel.
In other words, to seed to every nation, to every town, every creed.
That souls might be saved.
And if we do, we're saved and if we don't, we're damned.
And to hell in the lake part.
Okay, so don't use study Bibles because there's a lot of fallacy.
Even if they're preaching 99% of the truth and then they tell you, you don't have to do any work.
And that's just about what they say.
You'll soul go to hell for that, okay?
You can't just be an eater or a taker or a user.
You have to be used by the Lord.
What do you think being used of the Lord is?
The Lord requires a lot more of us than to just sit in the church, sing hymns once or twice a week.
Or even seven or eight times a week.
Clap our hands and praise the Lord.
We have to have the same spirit of Christ in us as was in him here on earth.
Christ is the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
He's in, I hope that he's in you.
But if he isn't, you can do that as soon as this program is about to end.
Because the Lord laid it on my heart to pray and let everybody know what the prayer is that you need to talk to the Lord.
Any similar prayer will do.
But stay away from these study Bibles in theological seminary.
It's my late wife who used to call them theological cemeteries because they do more killing of people that God has put on their heart to get into the ministry.
They killed it because they show you seven or eight different ways that the Scriptures could mean.
But if you're in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit tells you exactly the one and only translation of the Bible.
There's not two interpretations or translations.
The Bible says there's no private interpretation of the Bible.
It means exactly what it says.
And the Lord requires that we seek him with all of our hearts, all of our minds and strengths.
And if he sees us doing this, he'll open the Scriptures to us so that we're going to be able to sow the proper seed into people.
And so don't use study Bibles.
Just get a regular Bible. I'll send you a Bible if you want.
Okay, then what?
And I need literature to enlighten me about the Roman religion.
Well, not only the Roman religion.
There are many things in the Bible that we need to know of the Lord other than just the Roman religion.
Wow, there's the Buddhist religion. There's the Muslim religion.
There's the true faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the whole Word of God.
Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the living God.
And the Word is Christ. We must learn Christ in order to love him.
Because the Lord has a beautiful sense of humor.
I remember one time in Las Vegas, Sue and I were standing up looking at these cuminous clouds in the distance.
The whole sky was blue with the exception of some clouds over in the distance.
They were piled high.
And we were holding hands and we were looking up.
We just got married.
And all of a sudden the Lord, who were looking down from the clouds on the ground.
And the Lord just like gave us a little elbow, a little nudge letting us know that he was playing with us.
I mean, you may find that hard to believe, but it happened.
And I swear before God did it happen, there's no point for me to tell you any little story like this.
If it would get my soul into hell because no liar, slander the kingdom was gone.
And so we're looking down at the earth.
And Susie, I thought, well, you know, I've got bad eyes.
Maybe, you know, and she says, to you see what I see.
And we're still holding hands.
And I says, yeah.
And she says, what's that?
I said, we were looking up at the clouds and now we're looking down from them.
And she squeezed my hands and put her long, sticky nails so they were like pointy right into my flesh.
And I thought to myself, man, heaven is boring up here because we're sitting on the cloud.
It's like on top of the clouds.
And it's, is this what heaven is like?
But it wasn't.
It was just about the clouds.
Heaven is fantastic.
I mean, the word fantastic is not adequate.
No eyes seen, no ears heard, no eyes are there at the heart of anyone.
The beautiful things that the Lord has laid away for those that love him and keep his commandments.
Well, if we're not supposed to do anything, then why should we keep his commandments?
You know, that doesn't make sense.
The whole Bible says, the whole duty of man is to fear God and keep his commandments.
And that we're going to, God's going to open the books and see whether we did what he commanded us to do or what we, he, against what he commanded us to do.
And he commands us to go into the world and preach the gospel, amen?
So, you know, don't let anybody kid you read the Bible for yourself.
Eat the seed and then sow it.
Eat the word of God.
And then you, that's not all.
That'd be a horrible thing to just eat all the seeds so that we wouldn't be able to have a harvest.
If you sow the seed and then keep watering the seed, you're going to have a harvest.
Then we just use the parable of, if you keep all the seed in the bag.
And then when you get hungry, just not have enough faith to sow the seed in the ground.
Well, if you don't, you're not going to have a harvest.
Amen?
Amen.
You can look at food all day long, but if you don't put it in your stomach, in your mouth,
and then let it drop down your neck into the stomach, you're going to die, amen?
And you'll die too if you don't keep with the commandments of the Lord because he is word.
Which is God tells you to do it.
And he says, you better obey.
It's because disobedience, disobeying is the same as witchcraft, amen?
Amen.
Okay, so, no study by us.
That's rule number one.
Amen.
After you get saved.
Then what?
May the good Lord bless you and strengthen you in fullness so that you can change many lost souls to Christ.
We are solidly behind you in prayers for the good works you have been doing for the Lord.
Keep the faith and stay strong in the Lord.
Gilbert from Akron, North Ghana, Africa.
Praise the Lord, brother.
You just keep distributing literature.
Get it out there and keep studying.
And don't just eat the word, sow it.
Okay, so you can have a harvest.
The harvest means that you're going to be blessed.
If you want to be blessed, you can't, it can't just, you know, a lot of people are sick.
You know, they wonder, why are we sick?
And here they just study, we study the word and we pray.
What?
There's more to it, amen.
You got to sow the seed.
Then you'll see what happens.
Like for a long time, you know, the people in the church, I figured that they were being the older Christians to the brothers and sisters that came in.
But many people were falling away and I couldn't figure it out.
So I asked, I checked with him and they said, nobody reads with us.
Nobody prays with us.
He sent in a different request and it's like you don't hear them because the people that
work around you are not reading to you.
And I said, why are you people not being the older Christians?
And I said, Lord, they're not being older Christians.
And he told me, you be the older Christian.
I said, how is this due to the recordings?
And be the older Christian to the entire world.
Call yourself world pastor.
And so every since I did that the Lord has blessed us millions of times more than we ever were before.
And so that proves that I was to sow the seed not only into the church, but the door opened up for us to be on radio.
And now I'm sowing the seed into you.
And I pray that you'll receive this message so that you'll do the same.
And since then we are blessed so much that we had to build several buildings to hold the different blessings that come in.
And we can't give it out fast enough.
It just keeps filling up all the more.
So he blesses us so that we can bless others.
All right.
So if you want blessing and then at the same token he gives you all your needs.
Amen.
Amen.
Okay, so go ahead.
The next letters from Matty Dale, New York.
Dear pastor, they will probably pray for the peace of Jerusalem on my gravestone if the Lord carries.
But I doubt that.
Anyway, I have read what you wrote about the Messiah.
And that book is exactly what I need.
I work at a hospital and there are a lot of Jewish friends I have there.
Doctors mostly and I have been sharing a little at a time with them.
Okay, the doctors need the great position of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest attorney, Jewish attorney in the whole universe and he is the greatest Jewish doctor.
And so doctors, if you have a problem with you, do what I am telling you.
Read the word and then sew the seed.
A lot of people say, well the seed is giving money to the ministry.
And that isn't the seed.
The seed is the word of God.
Amen.
They said have seed faith.
Send us money.
No, have seed faith.
Receive the word and then distribute it.
Amen.
I am not saying that you are not supposed to tithe because you are.
If you don't, you are robbing God.
And if you don't, you are robbing yourself because the Bible says, how can the people be saved if they are, it takes money to be on the air.
We are spending like tens of thousands on the radio broadcast.
But the seed is get that seed in your doctor and then give it to others.
Because people have a tendency to respect you doctors even though you don't deserve it.
Okay?
Now you have helped a lot of people's bodies.
But what the Lord wants you to do is help their souls.
And if their souls get saved, their bodies will be healed.
And just think, how can God give you a harvest of good health if you don't, for your soul and your body and your spirit.
If you don't, so seed yourself.
So you do that and I guarantee that you have God guarantees.
And I back him up 100% that you will be healed.
Okay, Doc?
Praise the Lord. Then what?
I have such a pull to Jewish people.
It's kind of strange, but I can't help it.
And if I could purchase four or five Messiah books to put around, that would be awesome.
Well, we wouldn't sell you anything. We'll give it to you.
Senator 1520, we'll give you 20 until he needs more.
And just go ahead and write to us.
If you need 100 or 1000, let me know.
And God bless you.
You're already a person that's sowing the seed. You ate it.
And now you say, oh my God, I could win other people's souls with this.
If I had it and she's asking, can I buy it?
And you send a tie then if you like, but it's not.
And we appreciate it because we can print more Messiah books, but if you didn't have a penny to your name, we'll send it to you.
And even if you're a mysier and you're hanging on to the money, we'll send it to you also, okay?
You skin flint. Okay, then what else?
You said?
Okay, what else?
You said you have other materials.
Yes, I do.
Okay, good.
I did see a few topics. Can you send me a supply of all of those too?
Yes, indeed. What else?
Someone also said you had t-shirts with your ministry on it too.
Do you have 1x and 2x for me and my hubby?
Yes, we have one and 2x for you and your hubby.
And bless, we have 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x also.
Okay, and if you're bigger than that, we'll go to Omar the 10th, okay?
You've got a hole in the sheet or something.
Okay, what else?
I will look forward to hearing from you with the amount to pay, and next month I can send you a check.
Oh, don't worry about sending a supply for literature because I won't do that.
But if you want to sow the seed, just give, read the books and give to others.
And God will bless you.
And if you, we need, we could use all the money in the world, but we're not selling stuff here.
Okay, we're not selling the Word of God. It's great. What else?
Thank you so very much. I really have a piece with this, and I'm so looking forward to taking advantage in sharing this book to everyone at this hospital.
Down the road, I will order several copies to keep on the x-ray counter for patients and employees.
Thank you again, most sincerely, your sister and Jesus, Catherine, for Maddy Dale, New York.
Send her a hundred beside us, all right?
All right, praise the Lord. That just makes my soul a thrill to know somebody that just wants to get out there and sow the seed.
Amen.
The souls can be saved. Is there something else?
Yes, the next letters from part her court, Nigeria, West Africa.
How many pages is it?
It's one hundred.
Okay, right here.
Dear pastor, greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
How can I possibly thank the most high enough for the grace, mercy, and anointing that he has bestowed upon your life and ministry?
I must not fail to tell you how lots and lots of people have been coming to share their testimonies of salvation, restoration, and blessings through the literature I receive for distribution through your ministry right here in my country, Nigeria.
I can liken the reception of your literature to giving water to a man that has been in a hot desert for a long while.
May the Lord continue to bless you, sir, and the entire members of the ministry worldwide.
I must not fail to tell you how meeting a faithful and devoted member of your ministry through the Internet, Brother Doug, has brought untold joy and fulfillment into my life because it was him that ever told me about you.
Since that day, I knew your ministry. I knew that this is that ministry God has created me to serve under.
For the rest of my life, I had been in the ministry for about 17 years now, and the church planter evangelist.
I have planted several churches since I began to work in the ministry in the year of 1988.
Even now, the Lord is using me to pioneer a work church in Port-Ar-Kart, Nigeria.
The church is still much young, and I seek to hand it over to you since I am committing the rest of my life to serve under you.
This person is a planter of the seed. That's why the Lord has blessed them so much.
They are part of this ministry now, and part of that, whatever blessing the Lord gives me, I am going to pass it on to him or her.
Praise the Lord for you, brother or sister. Then what?
Sir, I am fully devoted in the distribution of Christian literature published by you.
He is a sower. He is a sower of seed. Amen.
Amen.
I know you have no need of anything except more literature. Amen, more seed. Send them bags full of seeds.
Amen.
What else?
I seek to take it to all the states of my federation.
I seek to establish distribution centers in the north, south, east, and western parts of this most populous Black nation on earth called Nigeria,
a place of sin and transgressions, but will be made white by the spotless blood of the land.
Amen, brother.
Even as we get across with the word of salvation through this ministry, already I am embarking on trips to different parts of the nation since the literature has arrived safely.
I see 20 Lamo ministries spreading like wildfire across our land, and I am thrilled. This is awesome.
You are so anointed. Your writings are so inspiring.
I will move from pillar to post to establish this ministry solidly in my nation because I am convinced that there are people whose souls destiny are tied to this ministry.
The harvest is truly ripe here, and we, his servants, shall put in the sickle and reap, for the Lord is at hand.
Please pray for us that the Lord will protect and provide for us so that we can move in the fullness of Christ without any fear of intimidation and will abstain from the Lord.
I need your approval to officially hand over the church. I began to you to be one of the Lamo Christian churches worldwide.
Oh, you have my with great pleasure. We do that. I mean, it's like, and I hand over what we have to you.
We just hand over the words to each other. We just joy to hear the responses from you.
Amen. It's very encouraging. I'm sure that people in the radio audience that are of the Lord are really prays and thanking the Lord for your letter.
Then what? I pray that the Lord will move you to approve this so that I can smoothly coordinate and synchronize my literature distribution activities with my gift and calling of church planting.
Brother, as sister, you've got my blessings and every one of those churches blessings. Amen. God bless you richly and we're going to give the blessings that the Lord has given unto us.
Until you and other people like you, we want to get the gospel back because we know the Lord is coming back to earth again very soon.
Amen. Okay. We're right in the last few minutes of time. So, right on, brother. Okay, then what else?
I pray to the Lord most high to allow you to have an extension of the church arm of your ministry here since your ministry is worldwide.
This move will also help me to maintain my focus in the ministry.
Precisely, the Lord told me that I will do greater exploits if I submit my efforts in the ministry to an apostolic covering and mentorship.
I have been praying about this before I met Brother Doug. So, when I met him, the baby in my womb leaped for joy when he told me about you.
I knew that was the day I had been waiting for, a divine direction and confirmation.
I have told so many ministers and saints about you. Please make my joy complete.
For the word says, thy son shall come from far and my daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
I am confidently assured that working under your ministry is what I was born to do.
I look forward to hearing from you, sir. Please, I need a reply from you.
My father, my mentor and hero. God be with you, sir, and give us the heathen for an inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for possession.
I am trusting God that we will send offerings to the headquarters in America from here.
For a church must take care of the pastor. We believe in giving to a prophet.
You are a prophet of God. I remain faithful to yours and his royal service, Pastor Henry, from Port-Hark Court, Nigeria, West Africa.
Praise the Lord, Pastor Henry. Everything you desire that we have is yours.
And you just go right on. That's wonderful. Amen.
Amen.
This man you can tell, this man is soer and he's just full of zeal for the Lord.
Okay, now Sharon, let's come forward here.
2 Corinthians 5 verses 14 and 15 says, quote, for the love of God, for the love of Christ, constraineth us.
Constraineth is actually in the original text. The meaning of it is, quote, the rushing of waters.
That's the original Hellenic Greek text. And Hellenic Greek is the Greek's written and spoken by the Jews of that day.
And they are the ones that wrote this Bible that we read today.
All right, this was the writings of the Apostle Paul. And he spoke Hebrew and Greek and he, I believe, spoke Italian as well.
For sure. Then what else?
He died for all that day that lives should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who, for their sake, died and rose again.
Right. We're not to live unto ourselves. We ask the Lord bless us. And he says, how does a farmer bless himself?
He takes the seed and so sit in the ground. Without sowing the seed, there's not going to be any blessing.
So read that last line again.
He died for all that day that lives should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who, for their sake, died and rose again.
Okay, so we're not to live for ourselves, we're to live for him. And him wants the seeds to be sowed.
And he keeps giving parables all throughout the Word of God. The sower went out to see to sow.
And he sowed some seeds here, fell here and some there on hard ground, shallow ground, rocky ground, and then good soil.
So we're not to be concerned or try to figure out who to sow the seed to the Word to. He just to sow it everywhere. Amen.
Amen. And God will give the increase. Some of it is like this one teller that we just heard from Pastor Henry.
Yeah, that's good ground. You can tell that's good ground. Amen.
Amen.
Okay, so he can't bless us or unless we sow seeds.
Yeah, if the Bible tells us that there's a prophet in all work that we do. That's why he says, leave people that don't work, shouldn't prosper.
People that don't sow the seed cannot have a harvest. There's no blessing there. So we have to work. Amen.
And when people say, well, you should, we don't have to do the work of God. Everybody, the Lord has done it all.
Brother, sister, that's false doctrine. I mean, that is really damnable doctrine as well. Okay, then what else?
This is for our sakes, not his. That's true love. In other words, these two portions of Scripture tell us that the dying love of Christ is like the rushing waters.
Actually, the rushing of great waters toward us. And when the Lord's dying on the cross, he's saying, listen to you. I love you.
Because if I didn't die and shed my blood for you here on this cross, there's no possible way that you could escape the fires of the lake of fire.
Or the hell and the lake of fire. Maybe yelling your head off forever. And so the Lord shows this love that passes knowledge, the Bible said.
And so it's like a rushing flow of waters coming from beneath the throne of God, sitting in the kingdom of heaven.
It's just overwhelming to love. Once you read the Scriptures enough to be able to understand how much the Lord really loves us and how much he has done it.
So I said the Lord has humor when we were up looking down from heaven. You know, it just, I could tell the Lord was just smiling.
And when we looked down at the earth, we were back down again looking up at the clouds. Because I got finally started getting a little bit scared and I looked down and we were looking up again then.
It seemed to me that it was like Peter. When he looked down at the water, he lost faith. And we started sinking.
And then the Lord grabbed him and pulled him up. Amen.
As long as he kept his eyes on the Lord. As long as we keep our eyes on the Lord. And what the Bible really says, don't get so busy that you want to be a judge.
Because what good is you being a judge if your soul is going to stand eternity in the lake of fire.
And it's not the hell in the lake of fire. There's nothing on the face of this earth that's worth not having the blessings of the Lord.
So we need to focus everything that we have on sowing the word to each other and lifting one another up.
It is a situation of rules and regulations, rules and regulations. It's walking in the spirit of the Lord.
Walking in the love of the Lord. The rushing waters. The love that we manifest that same love unto the brothers and sisters and the people in the world.
That's right. The Lord tells us to not use weapons. We have a lot of persecution happening in our Los Angeles church.
There were three, there was a squad of people that came up there because they want us, they want to actually steal our property out there.
And they won't give us permits to build nice housing and everything for the brothers and sisters.
They kind of crowded into a little dorm there. We have the finances to be able to build something that they won't give us a permit.
They came up there with bulletproof gas. And we have no guns. They don't have any pea shooters. They never have.
We don't have any slingshots. We don't even have toy guns on the property. They came up there.
Buster was out there and met with him in our attorney. And a man that is a construction man and several of the other brothers and sisters were there.
They were just, well, they were actually at police with him and everything like they did Jesus, you know, where they came to crucify him.
And this is just unbelievable. Beat that last line.
In other words, these two portions of scripture tell us that the dime love of Christ is like the rushing waters, actually the rushing of great waters toward us, compelling us to consecrate ourselves to God and to live for him beyond our own natural control.
Right. So we must have super added on to the natural because, you know, most people would be frightened away if all these people came up and it looks as though they think that, you know, we would do so.
And they've done these things for years and no one ever protested or anything. We agreed with the adversary quickly, as the Bible says.
And they're just trying to conjure up something on us again. So I'll be out in radio land.
And those of you that we minister to and those that are partners with us pray for us that this the Lord will undertake with this situation.
I see my time is up. And so here Sharon is to give you four different ways how to receive program 185 please specify if you want an audio cassette or a CD.
And remember everything is postage and paid everything is paid for you. Okay, go ahead and down.
You can go to Alamo ministries.com or write to Tony Alamo Christian ministries P.O. Box 6467, Texas 75505 or call area code 479 782 7370 or fax to area code 479 782 7406.
All right. So those of you that really want to be blessed by the Lord, he wants to bless you so that he has an abundance.
The kingdom of heaven is filled full of blessings and he will open the windows. They haven't been pour out so many blessings on you.
He won't even have a place to store them all if you just become a worker for him.
And listen, just say this prayer so that you can be saved. Just say, my Lord and my God have mercy. Say this to God.
My Lord and my God have mercy upon my soul and sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and I believe that God that Jesus died on the cross and shed his precious blood for the forgiveness of all my sins.
And I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I opened the door of my heart and I invited you 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 that you will turn no one away. All that calls on the Lord shall be saved.
So therefore I know you have heard me and I know you have answered me and I know I am saved and I thank you Lord Jesus for saving my soul.
They just keep praising and thanking the Lord and start learning the word.
Get some of the literature that I have written and lead people to the radio broadcast.
That will be that you are actually helping people like this brother in Africa is doing.
You are He's leading people to the Lord through the literature. So you don't have to be a preacher.
Just give these soul winning messages to people.
Okay, so if you do that God is going to bless you more than you realize.
Until then this is world pastor Tony Alama saying God bless you and praise the Lord, amen.
