Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Hello again. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. Today we are on Part 94 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You.

You know, almost every chapter in the Bible tells you how to have God’s life living in you, from the Old Testament to the New, from the Book of Genesis all the way up to the Book of Revelation. In the first chapter of Genesis, it talks about entering into God’s rest. The Lord rested on the seventh day, and therefore that is what we are supposed to do: enter into God’s rest by laying all of our life down and leaving the old works that we did.

We finished our work, and therefore that means there is nothing more for us to do in the world but enter into God’s rest. A few years ago, I wrote a piece of literature entitled The True Believer’s Sabbath. If you are a true believer, you are in God’s rest every day. In other words, you rest from the evil deeds that you did throughout your life until you came to Jesus at the foot of the cross and accepted Him as your personal Savior.

Then the Lord enters into you and resurrects you. You die at the cross, and then you are brought alive into the spiritual realm of the cross. He enters into you, and you are resurrected from death. You then become an obedient servant to the Lord.

Our message today is about entering into God’s rest, or resting from your own life and believing the gospel, because it is impossible to please God without having faith. The Lord knows that we have faith if we receive every word that proceeds from the mouth of the living God.

The Bible says that if we leave the Lord, if we forget about His Word, then it would be impossible for us to enter into God’s rest, into the Holy Land. The Lord was grieved with Israel, and their dead carcasses lay on the ground after marching around the mountain for forty years, until they all died, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb. Even Moses had to die and was not able to enter into the Holy Land, the land of Israel.

If God’s chosen people were not allowed to enter into that which is symbolic of the Kingdom of Heaven, then how could anybody believe that, if they hear the Word and the commandments of the Lord and will not do them, they could enter into the Kingdom of God? The Bible plainly tells us throughout that if we keep all the commandments of the Lord, then we are able to enter into His rest.

This is totally contrary to the majority of people who are preaching their gospel, this false gospel, today. They have a false gospel. The true Bible, the true gospel, tells us that if anyone changes the gospel, if anyone preaches any other gospel than the one that the apostles preached, then they are cursed.

A curse means the Lord’s rest, but you are slung into everlasting workhouse. It is a workhouse in hell and the lake of fire. You are never able to rest because you did not take advantage of going into the Lord’s rest. The Lord did all this labor in making the heavens and the earth, and then He went into rest on the seventh day. He says that we must enter into that rest.

He made the heavens and the earth. Now, the system that is in the world, the Bible says, “Love not the world.” That means do not love the world’s system. You are not even supposed to love the sun or the moon. You can thank God for them because they are beneficial to us, and we are able to partake in the things of the earth if we are born again of the Spirit. But we are not to partake in the things of the world’s system, which is the Antichrist.

The world’s system, the things that you see the secular world doing, claims to be God’s messengers or God’s authorities here on earth. They are not, because they are of the world’s system, and the Lord tells us not to love the world. He says, “Love not the world.”

By faith, receive the Kingdom of Heaven. Our kingdom is not of this world if you are of the Lord. Therefore, He tells us to completely and utterly forsake the things of the world and your flesh. If you do not, you will have the same fate as the people who were the chosen people God delivered out of Egypt. You are going to die and spend eternity in hell and the lake of fire.

You are going into a workhouse. You laid around and lounged around on this earth. You would not work. Many of you have collected food stamps that were paid for by people on this earth who are actually working, because the Lord says if you do not work, you should not eat.

I would say that the majority of people, at least half the people in the United States, probably sixty percent, are on food stamps or some government aid. Everybody knows that if you work for the government, it is your lazy. During the time of Roosevelt, he came up with this plan to get people out of poverty, and there were many pictures of people leaning on shovels. But it got to the point where you could not even fire people anymore, even if they were lazy and did not work.

This is totally contrary to the Bible. People get used to that. They are used to a free lunch. They are doing as little as they can in this lifetime, and they do not believe what the Lord says.

The children of Israel heard the messages. They even heard God give the Ten Commandments on the mountain with an earthquake, smoke, fire, flames, the sound of trumpets, and an earthquake. But it was not mixed with faith. They did not keep faith. That is why the Bible states in the third chapter and the fourth chapter, which I am going to try to have read, and in the eleventh chapter of the Book of Hebrews, that you will not be able to go to Heaven because the Word spoken unto you is not mixed with faith.

It says that if you hearken to His voice, if you do what He says, then you shall go into His rest. Just hearing the Word and not doing what it says is not faith. In other words, you read it as a novel, and that is nice. You read about Superman, Captain Marvel, and Captain Midnight, but you do not fly. You think you can read the Bible that way, but that is not the way the Bible is. It is not a comic book. You have been raised on comics and cartoons, but you have to come to the reality that the Lord is not a cartoon. The Bible is the only real thing in the world, and you must do it.

Anyway, we have some letters and Scriptures and the message of how to have God’s life living in you. That is by entering into God’s rest. If you allow Him to rest in you and represent Himself in you and through you, then you are in His rest, because He is not going to live in a human body that does not allow Him to abide in them, and one that is not abiding in Him. He wants to abide in you, and you are commanded to abide in Him.

If you are, you are not going to be sitting and watching movies or cartoons all day long. I listen to TV. I oversee these different false prophets preaching, and I watch the news to see just how close we are to the end of time. I watch the Lord. I listen to Him and let Him tell me what I am supposed to say in these programs.

Father, right now we come to You, and I ask You, Lord, to deal with everyone in the world who is listening to these broadcasts, so that their souls would be saved. Let everything that I say in this message through me be all You, Lord, and let me not say anything, because people are sick and tired of listening to human beings. I hear that all the time, no matter where I go.

The brothers and sisters who are on the streets witnessing and testifying throughout the United States and many other countries in the world all say the same thing: that people are hungry and thirsty for the Word of God. They are not into what man says.

But, yes, there are a lot of people who sit in Your ministry who do not think the things being said are the Word that You place here. They do not think that this is the Lord, some of them. We see people who have fallen away because they are not able to live in the splendor of Your Spirit, and they do not want to keep the commandments and partake in the blessings that You pour out on the heart church all the time.

There are so many blessings that we are able to share our blessings with people in Africa, India, the Philippines, Pakistan, the United States, Mexico, and throughout the world. We are able to share Israel. We share the wealth, the blessings that You pour upon us. But the people want these blessings, and they do not want to do what You say. Lord, this causes You to be angry and full of wrath.

But You are not a person who has to strike out immediately because You live forever. You have plenty of time to wait for them to come up before You at the Great White Throne, the final day of judgment. You just sit back waiting for them to do Your will, and You cause some of them sickness, disease, and extremities. When You see that they have positively made up their minds, that they believe what the false prophets say, they become Antichrist, anti-Your Word, anti-Jesus, anti-Your Bible, Your Word, which is spirit and life. They are against the Holy Spirit, and therefore You destroy them.

I ask, Lord, that there are so many of these destructive people here on earth, and we know that these are the people who are in the church. Lord, put them away. Those who have left the church and are attempting to stir up trouble, You told me, “Do not even think about it. Do not worry about it.” You said that You are going to take care of them, because You said I have to concentrate on Your Word and not on the devil’s provoking. This is Your job, Lord, to pour out Your vengeance on them. It is not my job at all, because You said this was Your job. You said, “Vengeance is Mine,” saith the Lord.

Lord, I pray, and everyone who prays with me, uniting, that You will take vengeance on those who have absolutely refused to stop their agitation, their irritation, and their continuous opposition to Your Word, to Your church, to the people, to the pastor, to the prophet, and to the entire assembly of the living God here on earth.

Lord, destroy those who refuse to repent. Lord, give them a heart. You know, I do not have to tell You what to do, but I pray that You quicken them to sanity before You have to take the measures that I have seen You do so many times before, even in my lifetime and throughout history in the Bible. Lord, bind them, irritate, agitate, and destroy them as they are trying to destroy Your work here on earth. Lord, save souls. I know You will, and elevate the church. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray. And everyone says amen.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
All right. You have some letters now. Where is the first one from?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
From Burkina Faso, Africa.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
I am being attacked. For instance, we will have a radio station, and they say, “Because you talk bad about the devil, we will not let you be on our station anymore.” I say, “Well, I was not born on a radio station, and I am not going to maybe die on one.” If the Lord wants to let you pull me off a radio station, then you better watch out, because you are the ones doing it.

Immediately, God always raises up another one. For instance, the Vatican, and a man from Notre Dame, did not want to lose his box at Notre Dame University, and that is why he took me off, because Notre Dame is, of course, a Catholic university, and they are part of the Antichrist. Not all of them. If they will get out of there, the Lord will bless them, just as He does everybody else who makes a stand for the Lord, not just me.

There are many good churches in the world. I am just part of the body of Christ. There may be millions of us. There are a lot of people who say they are Christians who are not, but I am a part of the vast body of Christ, the actual church. I am a segment of the church of the Most High God, and you could be a segment of that church as well if you will just hear the Word and then believe it by faith, having faith, because without faith it is impossible to please God.

So that shows you how some people in the world, the majority of them, feel that if they are with the Antichrist cult government and media, then they are the majority. But the Bible tells us that one righteous man with God is the majority.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Who was it that showed the whole host all around the mountains because he was a servant? Do you remember who that was? Was that not Elisha?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Yes, it was.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Yes, it was, was it not? The servant of Elisha was afraid because he saw these vast amounts of people against them. Elisha was so vexed with him and said, “Lord, open his eyes so he can see that we are more.” So the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw the army of the host of the Lord circling all around the place.

One angel came down and killed all of Sennacherib’s army. Do you remember how many there were in that army?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
One hundred eighty-five thousand.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
One hundred eighty-five thousand dead corpses lay on the ground because the angel of the Lord went through that multitude during the night. They went to bed, but they never got up. The rest of their lives were over, just one angel. There are millions of angels of the Lord that are encamped around and about the Lord’s people. If you believe the Lord and continue reading His Word so that you are able to continue on to the end, you shall be saved. But if you leave, and we will read those Scriptures, then go ahead. Let us hear a couple of these. If you do not continue on in the Lord, you will not be able to enter into God’s rest. It is impossible. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Dear Pastor Alamo, greetings of peace, love, and joy of the Lord be with you and your ministry, in Jesus’ name. The main goal of this letter is to send my heartfelt appreciation and thankfulness for the Alamo World Newsletter and other Christian literature you have been sending me.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
You know, I do that because the Lord just fills me with excitement about the Word of the Lord. The world is so dull and dreary. I see young people in my church sitting around and talking to each other as though that is really living it up, or as though they are really into something, and I do not see some of them into the Word of God.

But it is the most exciting time of my day when I put my face into the Word of God and I start seeing and hearing the Lord leading me into the Scriptures that He wants me to preach. It is supernatural. I do not see how anyone could be happy with the natural. Of course, people who are in the natural cannot please the Lord, and they certainly cannot please anyone who is of the Lord, because they are carnal. They are flesh. All right, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
I have benefited from its abundant teaching and admonishing for righteous living.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
This one feels the same way I do. I have benefited greatly from the Lord.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
That one has to keep in the Lord.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Yes, they must stay in the Lord. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Your newsletter and Messiah book, with your other literature, have helped me acquire more knowledge and understanding in the Word of God. You have a very significant impact on my righteous living and my desire for more of His Word. So I urge you to keep on sending the literature, which I am also eager to read and distribute to people.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Oh, yes. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Pastor, I am telling you that the distribution of your literature, in general distributing the Word of God, has been changing and winning souls for Christ.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
We just saw pictures that were sent to us from Pakistan, and it is like a sea of people over there holding up my literature. They are wearing the church T-shirts. The little kids, the adults, and the aged people are all holding them up, and they have a big revival going over there in Pakistan, India, Africa, and over two hundred countries. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
I would be happy if your ministry could send me five King James Version Bibles, three in English and two in French; six Messiah books, two in English and four in French; a Bible dictionary; and a concordance. I would like you to send me your messages, preaching videotapes, and I would like the black-color T-shirt. I will be glad if all of my requests are granted. May the Lord continue to bless you in Jesus’ name. Pastor Charles from Burkina Faso, Africa.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Praise the Lord. Send everything to him. If you ask for these things, you will get them too if you are a distributor. I would never sell this literature, but the Lord has given it to me, and He has given it to you as well. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
From Mexico, translated from Spanish. Brother Tony, Jehovah bless you and keep you from all harm. Greetings to all the brethren who work with you. Please send me literature and a T-shirt and sweatshirt. Also, a T-shirt for my friend, three Messiah books, and three Bibles in Spanish. Your literature is winning souls in this big city of approximately three million. God bless you. Amen and amen. Brother Miguel from Monterrey, Mexico.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Monterrey, that is a large city. A lot of people think Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world. People think New York is, but New York is not the largest city. I think all of you in Mexico City are bigger, and other cities too. Then what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
From Nigeria. Dear Pastor Alamo, I was a Catholic to the core. Your newsletter titled The Pope’s Secrets was my means of getting saved and born again. I am now a pastor. Thank you very much. Reverend Azu from Edo State, Nigeria.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Praise the Lord, brother. Thank You, Jesus. Then what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
From Venezuela. I think what you are doing is wonderful. From Miguel in Caracas, Miranda, Venezuela.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Thank you. Even if you send a one-liner like that, it is fantastic to us. It is a very important thing to know that the literature has an impact in your country, where you are, in your city, your town, or your village. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
From Peru. God bless you. I would like to receive edifying messages. Thank you. Brother Juan Alberto from Tacna, Peru.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Isn’t that something? This is a nice little “How are you doing?” Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
And the response from the radio station?

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Yes, here is the response from the people who book me on radio. It is just amazing. When we lost this one station, we got a new one here in the United States that covers the whole, if you are using shortwave. Instead of being on one time a day, we are now on three times a day, three hours a day. This is a very good time segment. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Steve, the man who helps get radio stations for Pastor Alamo’s program, called to let Pastor Alamo know that the reason why the South Bend, Indiana radio station and the shortwave radio station dropped Pastor Alamo’s radio program is because the owner, Peter Sumrall, son of Lester Sumrall, a preacher, was told that if he did not take Pastor Alamo off his station, he would lose his box seat at the University of Notre Dame.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Well, he prefers the box seat rather than a place in the Kingdom of Heaven. So God will put him in a box. God has a box for him too. His soul will be confined to a very tiny space, and he will be screaming his head off throughout eternity for blocking because he wanted the prestige of his box seat. At what university?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Notre Dame.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Notre Dame. Well, let us go on. We have bigger fish to fry today.

I have so many messages. I wish I had my own satellite where I could just preach all day long. When I am done, when I wear out after ten or twelve hours, then I could turn the station over to some of the people I have won to the Lord, and they could give their testimonies too. So if any of you want to sponsor us and get us a satellite, we will preach God’s Word twenty-four hours a day, and everyone who really is of the Lord will be allowed on.

I am not going to be like some of these other supposed Christian stations and let people come on with false doctrine. You see them in there with Buddhists and Catholic priests and cardinals. These are not of the Lord. I am trying to win those things to the Lord. I do not hate them. If I did, why would I lay my life on the line to win their souls to the Lord?

Now let us read a little from the third chapter of the Book of Hebrews. Bring my Bible here. This is it. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Consider who He is. He is God. He is God who came to this earth as a man. Consider that. You could meditate on that all day long, all night, and for the rest of your life. Just that little bit of the Bible there. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Who was faithful to Him that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
God appointed God in Heaven. You have to remember that God has three parts: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Those three parts injected a godly seed into Mary’s womb. It was a man who had God living in Him. It was not God? When it says God, the Spirit of God was in this man and gave Him the power to be able to do the things that all men and all women are supposed to do, to keep the commandments of the Lord.

The reason the Lord did that was that He wanted to show everybody in the world that human beings, even though you are made out of flesh and blood, and even though you know you are weak and are tempted and have succumbed to temptation on many occasions in your life, He came into the world to show us. A lot of us were not aware of Jesus and all the details of the mechanics of how God can actually live inside of you, giving you the power where you can overcome temptation. You can overcome not only temptation and sin, but Satan, the world, your flesh, and all these things that are temporal, because there will not be any sin, Satan, flesh, or lust in the Kingdom of Heaven. That all has to go.

The earth is the dressing room to enter eternity. The Lord gives us the way we should be dressed, and that means with righteousness. If people say, “Well, we are God’s righteousness,” yes, if we put on the entire armor of God. Then God’s righteousness is in us, and we are allowing God to live His righteous life in and through us.

But you hear these false prophets saying to just a bunch of unsaved people, one minute they are saying, “Yes, I know you are all committing adultery with each other’s wives,” and all this sort of thing. But the Bible tells you that you cannot. You are not God’s righteousness unless you are allowing God to live out His life and represent Himself in and through you in the body of a man.

Jesus wanted God to control Him, so He surrendered His entire life over to the Father, the Spirit that was in Him, a man. This man’s name was Jesus. Was Jesus God? The Spirit in Him was God for sure. Because of the fact that He did what God said to do, that meant that He was a member of God. He was the High Priest, the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning and the end. God glorified this human being because He allowed Himself to be completely surrendered or consecrated unto the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Kingdom, because they are all one.

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were in Jesus, but Jesus was still a man, just like David was a man and just like Tony, me, am a man. But still, we have God in us. By the example of Jesus, we know that because of the power the Bible calls grace, that power is grace. By the grace of God, we are able to be more than conquerors over sin, Satan, the flesh, the world, death, hell, and the grave.

We have this power. But if we doubt the Word of God, if you do not mix this knowledge that the Lord has given us in His Word with faith, then you are never going to do anything. You are going to be the same boring self that you are. Every day you are a bore. You are boring. Anyone who does not have faith is not exciting. They have no charisma. The Lord’s charisma is not in you. You are not able to attract. There is no magnetic draw in you to draw people unto Christ. Therefore, you are a boring individual. You just have the same ignorant, boring look on your face every day, and you never achieve any godly thing.

You may type, and you are taken from the Lord, but then, on the other hand, you are also listening to TV, and for your edification, it is just for you to enjoy. You are not watching the things in the world to be able to transmit the things that you see into godliness. All you do is just see things, and you actually enjoy them. When I see things in the world, in the newspapers and on television, I become infuriated, and the Spirit moves me to talk about it.

That is the difference, because I have the faith. I please the Lord. I do. Anyone who loves the Lord not only preaches His Word, but lets the Lord live the Word, lets the Word, which is the Lord, live out Himself in you. If you do not do that, whatever you are reading, whatever you are hearing of the Bible, is not mixed with faith. Like the children of Israel, around three million of them were not able to enter into God’s rest. They fell in the desert, and their carcasses are there to this day.

That is the way it is going to happen to you. The problem that a lot of the young folks have is that you think you are going to live forever. But I have seen as many young people die in the churches as I have the old. I could list a whole bunch of them: four-year-olds, seven-year-olds, nine-year-olds, twelve-year-olds, and sixteen-year-olds. I have preached funerals for them, and they are gone.

It was because they were obstinate. One of the boys, you see satanic people in churches. Some people say, “Well, I am not going to church because people are satanic there.” Well, the people in the world are not satanic? You are kidding. At least people in churches are not bombing innocent men, women, and children.

He was a peeping Tom. He was going around to different houses where he knew that young girls lived, and he caught leukemia. I found out what he was doing, so I told him, “Look, if you will stop doing that, if you repent, then God will heal you. I will pray for you.” I prayed for him, and he did get healed. Then, all of a sudden, we heard that he was doing it again. He got leukemia, and he died. We preached his funeral. He was about twelve or thirteen years old. What was his name again?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Myron.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Myron. He was a black boy. He is dead. That was over twenty years ago. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
This man was Jesus, the man with God in Him. He was a man, and He had genuine human blood in Him. Reverend Hagee and several other people, Jack Chick, say that He had God’s blood in Him. But the Bible plainly says that God is a Spirit, and spirits do not have blood. That is why God had to become a man, to have genuine human blood in Him, so He could show all the rest of us that it is more than possible. All things are possible if you only have faith, if you only believe.

So you can rise up and not be a boring person. If you let God live in you, you can be an achiever. But if you do not, you are never going to be anything, and then you are going to spend eternity in hell and the lake of fire.

Well, you are tired of hearing that? I am tired of looking at your boring face too. So how is that? Tit for tat, right? Your boring, unexciting look, and you do not do anything for the Lord. Here the Lord is feeding, clothing, housing you, and doing everything under the sun for you, and has provided a place in Paradise for you. But you decided that you are going to be a smart aleck.

It seems like a lot of kids today think they are bright, but they are dull. They are not bright at all. “Well, you insult us.” The Word of God insults you. I preach the Word of God, and if that insults you, that is just too bad. Be insulted. You should be insulted. You say, “We do not like you.” I do not like you either, really.

Ezekiel did not like the people that he preached to, but the Lord said, “Preach to them anyway.” If they do not accept, He says you are going to get the same reward. I get the same reward. You can tell all kinds of lies about me, but I will even get more rewards. The more lies you tell about me, the more filth and dirty things and lies that you backsliders are telling about me, I am getting more reward for that.

I leap for joy. I leap, and I am happy. Everybody knows that I have a smile on my face almost all day long, unless somebody provokes me because they do not keep the Word of God, and I think it is wrong for them not to keep the Word of God. So I am so happy, all you goons out there who talk about me. There is a song that says, “Please do not talk about me when I am gone.” Go ahead. Talk about me. It does not bother me. I put that song in reverse. Please talk about me. I am not in this. If I were a politician, if I wanted to be loved by human beings, I would not be preaching this gospel.

Believe me, before I was saved, I knew how to deceive people back then, just like you people do. But when I got saved, I cannot tell lies like the devil can and you, his children, can. We are at a disadvantage so far as lying. We cannot lie, because no liar shall enter the Kingdom of God. That means you people are out.

You are blaspheming the Holy Spirit too by saying that the Word of God that I preach, that I am a cult. They said the same thing about Jesus. He said there is no forgiveness for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, not in this world and not in the world to come. So keep blessing me. There is an extra blessing on me if you talk about me. Please do talk about me while I am here. I will be happy because I am getting many more blessings.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
The Bible says that Jesus built everything. God came up with the idea, the plans of how to structure the entire universe and the world and everything in it, and Jesus carried it out. The Bible says there was not anything made that was not made by Jesus, the Son.

Now the Son is the power and the wisdom of God. All power, the Bible says, in Heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus, not backsliders or demons, devils, or all the devils in the world. One angel can destroy all you devils out there. Do you not know that?

I am praying that you get saved. If you can, I think you have already blasphemed the Holy Spirit, so I do not think you can be saved any longer, those of you who are bringing false accusations against the church. The things that you say I am doing wrong are scriptural. I can prove it.

But one Scripture that says that if I was doing what you say, the things that you say I am doing that I am not doing, even if I were doing them, they are scriptural. There is no condemnation in the Bible for the things that you say I am doing that I am not doing. Therefore, if I am not condemned by the Lord, I do not feel anything. You are just counting on a bunch of unsaved people who do not know the Word of God and do not have the Lord in them.

If you can find anything in the Bible that I am doing that is considered sin in the Bible, if you can show me the Scripture and verse, come on quickly. If you can find anything I am doing that is contrary to the Word of God, I will eat the Bible without salt and pepper, ketchup, or anything. I will eat every page of it.

But I can show you in the Bible where you are going to hell in the lake of fire. I have many Scriptures on that. I have many Scriptures telling of different great people of God, even Moses and Gideon and all sorts of other people, David, who did what you say I am doing, and God never condemns them for that.

You people are on your way to hell in the lake of fire. If you want to get into a debate on a radio station, now you people seem to think you have so much. Get on a live radio station somewhere and do an interview with me. I hope it is on national television. I will bring so many Scriptures that show that you are going to hell in the lake of fire that it will make your head swim.

But you will not be able to find one Scripture of anything that I am doing. You say that I abuse children, that I touch children, that I spank children. Well, if I were, the Bible says that you are supposed to spank children to discipline them if they are unruly. So that is not sin. I do instruct others to discipline children because the Bible says so.

You say I am a polygamist. Prove it. The government cannot prove that. I am not married to anybody except one woman. But if I were a polygamist, the Bible does not condemn that at all. Most of this had three wives. Solomon had a thousand, seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines, or three hundred wives and seven hundred concubines, whatever, and a thousand women. David was not condemned for that. He was condemned for actually marrying unsaved women, people who were not of the Lord. David had lots of women, and the Lord said, “I would have even given you more.”

That proves that if I were doing what you are saying I am doing, I would not go to hell for it, because nowhere does it say in the Bible, “No polygamist shall enter the Kingdom of God.” Can you name other polygamists? Solomon, David, Moses.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Gideon.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Gideon. Jacob. There are at least forty of them in the Bible, polygamists, and they are all considered great men of God. So shut your mouth because you are preaching against the Word of God.

This government, of course, is Antichrist, and they are going to come after anyone who is doing that. Still, no, I am not. But if I were, it is not a sin against God, and it is not a sin against my soul. It would not be a sin if I spanked my kids or instructed other people, because I do instruct them to, because the Bible says so.

The world is Antichrist, and so are you folks. You are devils. I want you to know while you are still on this earth that you are going to hell because I believe you blasphemed the Holy Spirit, because you are calling this church that preaches the true Word of God a cult. In fact, you are a demonic, devilish cult yourselves. Everything that you are saying is a dirty, filthy lie. Even if it were not a lie, what you are saying is not against the Word of God. So why are you praying? Why are you going to church when you do not believe what the Lord says?

The Word of God is not mixed in you with faith, and therefore you are going to drop dead, and you are going to spend eternity in hell and the lake of fire. I do not want it that way. I want you to be saved. I certainly would forgive you if you repented and told the truth, because the Lord does not take any pleasure in people going to hell and the lake of fire, and I certainly do not either. I would not be of the Lord if I did. Now keep going.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
For every house is builded by some man, but He that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all His house as a servant.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
He was faithful. Moses was faithful in all his house. He had three wives. The Bible is saying this about Moses. Is that not the New Testament?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Yes.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
So the New Testament does not condemn polygamy. I am not saying that I am because prove that I am. I am not. I do not have devoted wives. I have always had one wife all my life. If God told me to be a polygamist, then I did. It is no sin. I believe that if I was, that is my private business. It is not your business. It is not the government’s business, not the Antichrist government’s business. You are going to say whatever you are going to say anyway. What can I tell you? What I am telling you is that everything I am doing is of the Lord. If there is anything I am doing that is not of the Lord, say it. All you can say is the same things you are always saying. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Moses verily was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ as a Son over His own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Wait a minute. We are the house of the Lord if we hold fast. If we continue on believing the Word. If we do not start coming against the Word. If we do not start coming against the people who preach the Word. If we do not start calling God’s Word satanic, your satanic. Read that last verse.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
But Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
If we believe His Word firmly until the very end of our lives. But you people are preaching things. You are trying to make me look like a devil for keeping the Word of God. Is that not funny? It is a tragedy, really, on your part, because you are really going to be paying for this. Then what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith, Today if ye will hear His voice.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
If you will hear the message, His voice, the Word of God, if you will hear it. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Harden not your hearts.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Do not start turning around and saying that the Word of God is not true. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
As in the provocation.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
As when the people of Israel provoked the Lord by not believing what He said. He said, “Go into the land of milk and honey and take it over.” There were two people who were righteous, Joshua and Caleb. They said, “We can go in there and do this thing because the Lord not only destroyed Egypt, but He will destroy these giants.”

Little David, when he was approximately nineteen years old, slew a giant. He did not have any armor. All he had was a slingshot, and he killed that giant, a giant that was well armored. He picked up several stones because the giant had brothers. In case they got uptight, because David knew he was going to kill him. He was about nineteen years old, and he started rushing toward the giant. He slung it too.

But these other ten people said, “No, we cannot go in there. We are like grasshoppers to them.” So they did not believe the Word of God. God says do it, and they said no. The Bible says that the things that you are calling me are not biblical, but the Lord says they are. You are saying, “No, they are not.”

They provoked the Lord by disqualifying His Word, by saying His Word is not God. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word, as a matter of fact, was God. Then the Word, in verse 14 of chapter 1 of the Book of John, came into the world and dwelt among us. God came into the world as a man.

If you believe what He said, and you believe the whole Bible, because the whole Bible is Jesus, then you can be saved. But if not, you are provoking God the same as these evil people did. Three million of them, minus two, fell dead, and their souls went to hell and the lake of fire.

I am just so sad that my time has run out now, but I am going to do another tape right after this one. I am going to continue on with this because this is really good Bible teaching, in case you do not know it.

Those of you who do not want to provoke the Lord and wind up in hell and the lake of fire, those of you who would like to accept the Word of God as it is, you do not know if I am telling you the truth or not unless you read the Bible for yourself. You are going to be like the mob during the time of Noah’s ministry here on earth. You are not going to believe it because you do not study the Word. You do not care what the God of Heaven and earth says. You just want to believe the way you want to believe.

According to the Lord, this is wrong, and there is a penalty to pay for calling God a liar and yourself the truth, or Satan the truth, or a bunch of ungrateful, what the Word of God calls bastards. The Lord said a bastard is a person who does not believe and does not have God for their Father because they do not believe it.

You have to choose whether you want to be a bastard or a son of God, for God to be your Father. If you want to be the son of God, the Lord says that when the Spirit of God enters into you when you say this prayer, the Spirit in you will say, “Abba,” because Christ has just been born in you, and the young baby Jesus, the Spirit, is born in you and will leap in you and say, “Abba, Father.” That is how you say Father in Israel.

When I was living in Israel, I walked by a school and heard a boy crying. He was saying, “Abba, Abba,” like he was pleading, “Daddy.” He wanted his daddy. I thought that was so nice.

So have the Lord be your dad. Say this prayer: My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ, and remember you have to believe and receive, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God. I believe He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my sins. I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I open the door of my heart, and I invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus. Wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed for me. There is no forgiveness of sins unless I am washed in Your precious blood. Your Word says that there is no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of the Lamb of God’s blood. You shed that blood so I could have all my sins washed away.

Lord, enter into my heart and cleanse me completely with Your blood. I believe You have heard me, and I believe You have answered me. You will not turn me away because Your Word says that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. So I know You have heard me, and 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 say, “Thank You, Jesus. Praise You, Lord. Thank You, Father. Thank You, Jesus.”
