Kept From Temptation, Made a Pillar, and Called to Walk in White

Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries

Kept From Temptation, Made a Pillar, and Called to Walk in White
Sermon 759B

Returning to Revelation’s Promise of Protection

This archived Tony Alamo message continues the teaching through Revelation chapter 3, picking up around verse 10. After the Help from Christ Ministries introduction and opening prayer, Tony focuses on Christ’s promise to those who keep “the word of my patience.” He interprets this as patient, daily obedience to Jesus, who is identified with the Word of God. Tony teaches that those who keep Christ’s Word are kept from the hour of temptation that comes upon the world.

Staying Away From Temptation

Tony applies Revelation 3:10 personally, saying that God has kept him from temptation in part through his physical limitations and by keeping him focused indoors on preaching, study, prayer, and messages rather than worldly distractions. He warns listeners that temptation comes through television, magazines, movies, public images, and everyday surroundings. His practical instruction is direct: if a person cannot control their emotions or is easily tempted, they should remove themselves from the situation and keep their mind on the Word of God.

Hold Fast So No One Takes Your Crown

Moving into Revelation 3:11, Tony emphasizes Christ’s command to “hold fast” so that no one takes the believer’s crown. He warns that men, women, worldly attraction, resentment, rebellion, and disobedience can pull a person away from God. He says Christ is coming quickly and that people should return to obedience immediately rather than continue further into spiritual danger. The crown, in this teaching, represents the reward and standing of someone who remains faithful until the end.

Pillars in the Temple of God

Tony then discusses Revelation 3:12, where Christ promises to make the overcomer a pillar in the temple of God. He explains that a pillar is not merely a physical object, but a strong, reliable, demanding support within God’s work. Using examples from well-run restaurants and businesses, Tony says strong leadership preserves quality, order, and consistency. He applies this to the church, saying that God makes overcomers into rulers or strong supports within His temple because they can be trusted with His work.

The Name of God and the New Jerusalem

Tony continues with the promise that the overcomer will receive the name of God, the name of the city of God, and Christ’s new name. He interprets this as God marking the faithful as His property and identifying them with the New Jerusalem, which he says will come down from heaven. Tony connects this with the image of believers as Christ’s bride, using the language of belonging, union, and eternal identity. For him, this is the elite promise given to those who overcome.

Laodicea and the Danger of Lukewarm Faith

The teaching then shifts to the church of Laodicea. Tony identifies Jesus as the Amen, the faithful and true witness, and the beginning of the creation of God. He warns against being neither cold nor hot, saying that lukewarm believers are spiritually unacceptable and will be spit out. He criticizes routine, boredom, complacency, and a lack of zeal, arguing that people who claim faith but no longer burn with obedience and urgency are in grave spiritual danger.

Rich in Goods, Poor in Spirit

Tony highlights Christ’s warning to Laodicea: the people say they are rich, increased with goods, and in need of nothing, while not realizing they are spiritually wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. He applies this to people who depend on comfort, possessions, status, hotels, food, gyms, or worldly security rather than God. In his interpretation, material abundance can blind people to their true spiritual condition if they believe they no longer need Christ, the Father, or the Holy Spirit.

Gold Tried in the Fire and Eyes Opened by the Word

Tony explains Christ’s counsel to buy gold tried in the fire, white raiment, and eye salve. He interprets the gold as spiritual riches gained through persecution and doing God’s work. The white raiment represents walking without sin, while the eye salve represents getting one’s eyes into the Word of God so spiritual blindness can be healed. He teaches that the fire of persecution is not meaningless suffering, but part of becoming spiritually rich, clothed, and able to see.

Letters From Haiti and Nigeria

The program then includes letters read by Sharon. A letter from Pétion-Ville, Haiti thanks the ministry for French newsletters and Messiah books, saying the writer has distributed them and is consecrated to the Lord’s work. The letter also asks for food assistance for poor districts and requests a scholarship to study theology. Another letter from Kwara, Nigeria thanks God for Tony and the ministry, praises the love shown to people around the world, and says the newsletters were received with gratitude.

Salvation, White Raiment, and the Closing Song

Tony closes by inviting listeners to be saved, begin doing the work of the Lord, and allow God to use them in powerful ways. He says he never expected to become a preacher, teacher, or president of a Christian school association, but that God can use anyone who trusts Him. He leads listeners in a salvation prayer, asking Jesus to forgive sins through His blood and enter the heart. After Sharon gives contact information for requesting the program, Tony briefly describes visions of heaven and introduces the song “Angel Band,” presenting it as a picture of the joy of going to heaven.

Welcome and thanks for joining us for today's message from the Archives of Pastor Tony
Olamo, presented by Help from Christ Ministries. If today's message inspires or encourages
you, please contact us at 918-506-5550. That's 918-506-5550. Or help from Christ Ministries
at gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you.
Father, continue your annoying dream, may open up the scriptures. There will never be
four in the whole world. Lord, let us be receivers of the truth. Let us watch and pray. Watch
and pray. Watch and meditate in your word. Praying and meditating. That we be worthy
to walk in the paradise of God in white raiment. Not one stain, not one blemish. Lord,
you have told us to rebuke Satan and to resist him. This means it's a part of the work of
the Lord to resist the devil, to give no place to him. If we feel ourselves being tempted
or to turn around and flee from the very appearance of evil and to reject Satan, to
refuse anything that he has, and Jesus, named Lord, we pray that you rebuke Satan. And I
rebuke you Satan in the blood of Jesus. We'll be able to qualify around him about his father.
Let your words will flow through me to the world that you will dispense your word into
the hearts and minds and the souls of people in the world and in the church that they may be
saved and strengthened in Jesus name. I pray and everyone says amen.
Amen. Where's the Lord? We're back in the third chapter of Revelation. We're at verse 10. Because
thou has kept the word of my patience. You patiently did what I said day after day. I also will keep
thee from the hour of temptation. You have kept the word. You've kept Jesus. The word of God is
Jesus. That's why when you accept Jesus, the Bible says, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. That means
the entire word of God and thou shall be saved. And because thou has kept the word Jesus, the word
of my patience, the Lord was very patient. He endured hardship. He endured all the things he
kept. All the word of God and he actually patiently went to the cross so that he could shed his blood
so we could have a detergent strong enough to take away our sins, which is his blood. And the Lord
says, because you've done this, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation. Well, the Lord's
keeping me from the hour of temptation. First of all, he gave me glaucoma. I can't see the stuff that's
happening in the world. And I love that. And a lot of people feel sorry for me because I can't see all
the schmuts and all the crud that's going on. I have tunnel vision. And you know, when that stuff
is happening, it goes right before I can't see it. I thank him, please. The Lord, because he said he
keep me from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world. And not only that, he says,
I want you to stay and don't go out there on the streets and don't go out there and mingle with
people and restaurants and these different places that you used to go. I want you to stay in and
keep the messages going. And so I can't see that good. And he doesn't let me go out into the world.
Hooray. Praise the Lord. Not just hooray for the punk and pie, but hooray that the Lord has kept me
from all evil. You know, they say the song. Hooray for the punk and pie. I'm thinking that the
Lord, I read that he keeps me from the hour of temptation. You have to stay in yourself, folks.
If you can't control your emotions, and if you're easily tempted, then stay inside and start studying
the word of God so that God can use you and pray unto him because these people patiently did it.
He says, because thou has kept the word. How can you keep the word of God unless you keep it before
your eyes all the time? You have to keep the word of God. You have to keep heaven on your mind all
the time because you've done that because thou has kept the word, which is me, who was patient,
and you become like me. I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation because if you get tempted
and you do something wrong, well then you're not going to heaven. You're going to go to hell
in the lake of fire. So this is a very good one for you remember verse 10. So he'll keep you from
the hour of temptation, which shall and has incidentally come upon all the world to try them that dwell
upon the earth. Well, you know, I've been around the block probably 155 times, and I know what's in
the world, but I know that if I don't look at it, it's not going to tempt me. Amen. How can I be
tempted? Well, evil thought comes against me. I just pick up the Bible or I start praying or I
read whatever and I've got a seeing machine here that cranks the word of God up about a couple hundred
times. He's going to keep you from the hour of temptation. Man, the temptation is coming from
everywhere. TV, magazines, books, movies, signboards on the side of the road. Oh man, they've got these
90% naked people. People are walking down the street naked. They're dressed with their skirts
clear up to their eyes. Oh my goodness gracious. I'll tell you, I'm glad I can't see all that garbage.
Verse 11, look, behold, I come quickly. Watch, you'll see, I'm going to come quickly. Hold that
fast. In other words, the word of God, me, Christ, which thou hast hold it that no man take by crown
and no woman take your crown. No man. Oh, one of the women that left the church, she says,
Tony, the men in the world, they flirt with their eyes and it's powerful and all I say, well,
you've left the church. You left the Lord and at this present time now, because I told her what to
do and she didn't like it. Now she's left the church and she's bringing accusations against me
because I told her what to do and she didn't want to do it. She likes the attention of other men,
even though she's married and she just will not repent. So the Lord says, look it. Look it.
Looky, looky, looky. I come quickly. I'm coming quickly and I'm coming upon you in an hour that
you don't know. So you better hold that. I command you hold that fast. Hold it tight, which thou hast.
Don't go any further into perdition than you already are, but get back to me quickly now
that no man will take your crown or no female or 12. You him that overcometh will I make a pillar
in the temple of my God. Does that mean that he's going to make you into a pillar? No, there's pillars
in the church. There's pillars that hold up McDonald's and these strong
there's Wendy's. They have a strong leader. Any time you see a business that is running very well
and diligent and the food remains the same all the time and it's just as tasty and fresh and the
hamburger buns are soft as always and the burgers taste the same and they have been sitting around
in the fries. So fresh and crisp and all these things. I'm not advocating eating that stuff,
but whatever fine restaurant it always tastes the same. A restaurant like Liaries for their
serve primary for many years and everybody loves it. There's a strong pillar, a strong person in there
that demands a very demanding person that says, you're not going to lose customers for me. You're
not going to wipe out my business. This organization, Liaries, was owned by a Vandy Camp family.
They own steers, Liaries and rich lures on the restaurant for Oh in Los Angeles. The only one
that's remaining that I know of even Vandy Camps is closed down is Liaries and there's always a
line of people waiting to get in because there's a demanding man or woman or staff that just
absolutely demands and commands and if you don't keep the quality up to you, we will not be here.
There are a pillar in that organization and so he also says, those of you that are pillars
do you overcome? You are very strong that way. I can trust you with my business, my church.
You overcome? I'll make you a pillar in the temple of my god. I'll make you a ruler.
You're a demanding person. The government is demanding this secular government
for the devil. You kill your babies. Go on now. It's all right. Be a homo sash. We'll get married
to them. Come against everything that's godly. That's what the devil is. So he's demanding and we
have to be more demanding than him because we serve God. Amen? The Almighty God. And because we do
that, he says him that overcomes his world and all these evil things. Will I make a pillar, a ruler
in the temple of my god, in the church, in the temple of my god? Where are the temples of God?
He'd make us a ruler over all the different temples of God. Amen? We'll be in charge.
And he shall go no more out. You're not going to go out into the world again. Amen?
And I will write upon him the name of my god and the name of the city of my god.
Why this says I'm labeling this man the property of God and he is a member of the new Jerusalem.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Which is new Jerusalem. Amen?
Which is the city of God. Well, we're part of the new Jerusalem right there. It says that we are.
The new Jerusalem. The name of the city of my god. He's going to put upon him the name of my god.
This is God's property and the name is going to be imprinted on your part, a member of the city of
my god, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my god. So the new Jerusalem,
the kingdom of heaven is coming down on earth. After the heaven and the earth are burned up,
because Satan was there, there's not going to be any trace of Satan or Satan was here. He sat there
and now it's all purged with fire this time and he's going to sit down. The new Jerusalem,
which cometh down out of the heaven from my god, your god as well. And I will write upon him my new
name. He that has an ear led him here. What the spirits say unto the churches. What's the new name?
It's like overcomer redeemed my body. But primarily is my wife, my bride. Hallelujah. Amen?
My bride. And I will write upon him my new name. Mr. and Mrs. Jesus. Amen? Because you're married to him and he's married to you. He that has an ear led him here. What the Holy Spirit says unto the churches.
Hear this thing. This is like the elite of the elite. Verse 14 and to the angel of the church of Laodiceans, right? These things.
Sayeth the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Amen. The beginning and the end. The beginning of everything in the ending of everything. The Amen of everything. The faithful.
Jesus, the faithful one and Jesus, the true one. When he's telling you something, it's true and it's faithful. It'll come to pass for sure.
Everything else that he said up to this time has already come to pass. And the true witness. He is the true witness. He is the beginning of the creation of God.
That's something, isn't it? He is the actual beginning. The alpha, the omega, the beginning and the end. Verse 15, Jesus says, I know that it works. I know what's up. You sleep. I know everything about you. Don't think I don't. I'm catching many of you people with these words because everyone in the world, these things pertain to everyone in the world, especially the church.
These are the seven churches. So it's to the churches and everyone that's hearing these words that is not a member of the body of Christ yet, he wants you to know these things. He says, I know they works.
That thou art neither cold. You know, you're not cold doing the work of God nor are you hot. You're not full of fire and zeal.
You're not vigilant or diligent. You're neither cold or hot. I would thou work either cold or hot. Verse 16, so then because of the fact that thou art lukewarm and neither cold or hot, I will spit you out of my mouth. I'll actually spit you out of my body.
Because I don't like you if you're cold. I want people that are hot, but you're not your lukewarm.
And because of this, I mean, how can you be bored with me to the point of where you just
now just go through the daily routine and I'm going to teach a lot of people with you. I'm going to spit you out of my mouth.
I'll spoo you out of my mouth. Verse 17, because thou sayest, I am rich and increased with goods
and have a need of nothing. I don't need you every hour, Lord. There's a sign need
the every hour. But you don't need anything you think. That means you don't need me. That you don't need
my father. You don't need the Holy Spirit. You don't need me. Oh, I see. And you say, I am
recall. I'm rich and increased with goods. So I'm blessed here. Now you've got all these goods.
Yeah. Living at fancy hotels. You're living at all kinds of different places. You eat whatever you
want. You have need of nothing. You eat when you want your fancy workout. I don't, I have everything.
I need nothing. You got a big gym to work in. It's your own and everything. And notice not,
don't you know that you are wretched and you don't know that you're wretched and miserable
and poor and blind and naked. You're naked. You don't have anything. You're wretched. You're poor.
Visible. Poor, blind and naked. Verse 18, I counsel thee. I'm going to give you a chance here
because I'm going to spit you out of my mouth if you don't listen to this. I counsel thee. I'm
instructing you now to buy of me gold. Try it in the fire. And then we start doing the work of God
and then you'll start going through the fire because the wretched people of this world will
start persecuting you and that's the fire and that's what you need. That thou mayest be rich,
spiritually rich and white reamant. Walk without sin that thou mayest be clothed in white and that
the shame of your nakedness to not appear before everyone in the world. And anoint your eyes with
eyesab that thou mayest see. In other words, anoint your eyes. Get your eyes into the Word of God
and begin seeing yourself doing the work of God. Get that medicine, good medicine on you and in you
so that you may see that you're not blind and naked and wretched and poor any longer.
Verse 19, as many as I love, I rebuke. So anybody that doesn't like a pastor that rebukes you and
tells you the things of the Lord, you have to be spiritually insane. All right. So the word verse
19 and that's where we're going to stop right now because we have some letters to read and we'll
continue on this in the next message. So where's the first letter from? From Pechenville Haiti.
Where? Pechenville Haiti. How do you spell it? Pechenville? P-E-T-I-O-N-V-I-L-L-E. Okay, let's hear what they have to say.
Dear Pastor Tony Alamo and all the members from your ministry which are doing a positive work in
the gospel world. My name is Denard. I have distributed all the French newsletters and messiah books that
you sent to me which I indiscriminately gave out to the people. I am consecrated to the Lord's
work with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. First John 2, 16, love not the world. If anyone
loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of
the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world.
Unquote. I must tell you that your newsletters possess a miraculous power. Everyone who has gotten
an already newsletter has decided to walk with Jesus Christ, their only eternal master and savior.
If it is possible, Dear Pastor Tony Alamo send us some food to help the people in the poor districts
who are receiving your newsletters because they need some help. They are truly in a critical state.
As for me, Dear Pastor Tony Alamo, I am asking you for a scholarship to study theology
to be able to deepen my spiritual knowledge. I am consecrated to the Lord's service with all
my heart, soul, mind and strength. Dear Pastor Tony and all the members of your ministry who
are doing a positive work, may the peace and grace from the Lord Jesus Christ be multiplied
abundantly to you and your children Bernard from Pechenville Haiti. That's a good letter. Beautiful.
All right. We have one more. Yes. From Nigeria. Dear Pastor, I give thanks to God for your life
and that all the members of your ministry. I have not seen a sincere love shown to people like this
one. You are sincerely a man of God to show love to everybody all over the world without you even
seeing them face to face. All of your newsletters sent to me two boxes and all are all well received
with thanks and gratitude. Sir, without mixing worlds, you have proven to the world how to serve
our true God. It is my humble prayer that God will enable you and enable you to the end in Jesus' name
Amen. Yours and his vineyard A Bernard from Quara, Nigeria, Africa. Praise the Lord. Well,
we are not ready to pray people to the Lord. The Lord said that if you do it, he says and that
means get saved and begin doing the work of the Lord and you say, well, what's the work of the
Lord? You need to read the Bible or you need to listen to this program one more time because I'll
tell you what the work of the Lord is. He saved us to do his work in us and through us and you'll find
that out soon enough. If you just say the prayer unto him, he will not turn you away. It doesn't make
any difference how many sins you've committed or how ignorant you are to his word. All you have to do
is come to him like a little child. Little children are not afraid of Jesus, of God or Creator. They
just come to him and receive what he says and they do what he says. You may say, I can't do it.
I never was a preacher. Never wanted to be none of these things or a teacher and I certainly didn't
want to open Christian schools. But now I'm the president of the American Association of Non-Dinominational
Christian Schools. And I'm doing all kinds of things that in the flesh, in the world, I never
thought I could do these. But God will use you in such a powerful way if you'll just trust him
and let him use you so that you can walk in white raiment and be in the kingdom of heaven with him.
And if some of your loved ones have gone on before you, that you can be with them. So it's just a
matter of not refusing the Lord in anything except him now by saying this prayer, say this to him,
my Lord and my God have mercy upon my soul center. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of the
living God and I believe that he died on the cross and shed his precious blood for the forgiveness
of all my former filthy sins. And I believe that you Father 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,
Holy Father Holy Spirit. Wash all my former filthy sins away in the precious blood that you shed
for me Jesus on the cross at Calvary. 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'll turn no one away and that includes me.
Therefore I know that you have heard me and I know that you have answered me and I know that I'm saved.
And I thank you Lord Jesus for saving my eternal soul.
Does raise your hands up in praise and thank the Lord. Now Sharon tell our listening audience how

Praise the Lord. This is a real pastor Tony Alamo saying to me and tomorrow for a continuation
of the book of Revelation. So you'll learn what must be done in these last days. You know I've seen
several visions of the kingdom of heaven. I actually have seen Jesus right before my eyes. I was
wide awake and I have seen myself and Susie in heaven. There's no imperfection there.
And I'm so happy. I was so happy and it's the biggest bummer in the world when I found out
the Lord says not yet. Oh I said Lord I was so happy to see him. So this song here shows you
how happy it will be when you get to heaven. It is called Angel Band.
You know there's nothing better than to know that you're going to heaven. Praise the Lord. Amen.
My baby son is sinking fast. My race is nearly run. My strongest child
now arpeggs. My child has begun.
Oh come, Angel Band. Come and look around me stand. Put their feet away on your snow
and white wings. You might eternal. Hold their feet away on your snow and white wings. You might eternal
home. Yes it's true. I'm going to heaven. Helping. Lord, I'm so under again. My heavenly home. My
spirit. My great say. The whole world was behold. They come like the sound of wind.
Oh come, Angel Band. Come and around me stand. Put their feet away on your snow and white wings. You might eternal.
Oh come, Angel Band. Come and around me stand. You might eternal.
Havetime pols. Now are everybody together sing it.
