Receiving Spiritual Life Through Repentance, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit

Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo / Main Speaker
Identified from the opening line, where the speaker introduces himself as “World Pastor Tony Alamo,” and from the repeated first-person references throughout the program.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon
Identified from Tony Alamo’s direct address near the end of the transcript: “Now Sharon…” and from the closing instructions where Sharon gives the audience contact information. Earlier in the transcript, Tony appears to address “Lydia” before a letter-reading section. Because the transcript is unclear whether this is the same reader, a second reader, or a transcription error, the reader is labeled consistently as “Letter Reader / Sharon.”

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Audience
Identified only when group responses such as “Amen” or “No, never” appear in the transcript. These responses are brief and are included only where they are reasonably clear from context.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Hello again. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. Today we are doing part 98 of “How to Have God’s Life Living in You.” This is program number 200.

If you would like a copy of it, at the end of the program Sharon will tell you four different ways that you can receive a copy of a CD or an audio tape. All the things that you receive from our ministry are free of charge, including Bibles, literature, tapes, Asia books, and materials in many different languages. We also give Bibles in different languages. We pay postage and handling as well, so you do not have to worry about it.

The Lord wants you to know that the Word of God is available to you free of charge. If you have any interest in your soul and you do not have money, you can just email us, and we will be glad to send these things to you. God wants everybody in the world to have a chance to receive eternal life.

Now, I see many ministries charging you thirty, sixty, one hundred dollars, and so on, to receive what they have gotten from the Lord, or things they have made up that were not of the Lord. Some of the messages are fine. I have heard them. Some are not, and that makes a good counterfeit. A counterfeit will express a few things, or a counterfeit will live in the house of God to cause trouble there. That is what counterfeits are: phonies, devils.

But we do not charge anything, because the Lord never charged me to be saved. He never charged me anything to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and He never charged me anything to learn the Word of God and to communicate with Him. It is free of charge. It says, “Come to me with no money.” You do not have to pay any money. So why should I charge you anything? Not even the postage. It is on the house. It is on the Lord. Amen.

Right now, let us go to the throne of the Lord.

Father, I thank You for putting it on my heart to send ambassadors to Africa, India, the Philippines, China, and wherever in the world I see the need, even Pakistan. Lord, we want to know whether these people are really as sick and starving as they say they are. I know that different ministries, which I do not necessarily agree with at all, are doing a good job so far as feeding people in Africa, India, Pakistan, and other places, and in Russia, transporting Jews out of there because they are being persecuted so much.

Lord, I praise and thank You that You have given us the wherewithal to help. If You give me billions or trillions of dollars, Lord, I will search the entire earth. I promise; it is a vow. I will search the earth to see people who are in need, but I will not just give them food and water. I will give them the Word of God, the spiritual food and spiritual water that they need for immortal life, eternal life.

Lord, I pray that You will show me places that are in need and furnish all the things that vex my soul when I see suffering. I am not always sure that the people we send money to are really going to give it to those in need, but You told me that You would judge them if they did not use the money as they said they would: to feed the children and adults and give them medicine to bring them back to health.

It makes me sad that they do not also emphasize praying for them and getting the Word of God to them, the proper Word of God, not the word that says they can sin and still get into heaven. This, I know, is so false and causes their souls to go to hell. That is why I do not like, Father, to send money to those ministries. That is why I want to go over there and bring the message myself, so they will know that if they sin willfully and knowingly, their souls will go to hell, and they need to repent, which means to utterly forsake the sins they are committing and live with Your Spirit in them, making it impossible for them to sin.

Cause the fear of You to be in them, as it was in the midwives in Egypt. Cause the fear of You to be in them, as it was in Noah, who trembled at the knowledge that You were going to destroy all the sinners on the face of the earth. Put the fear of You in all those on earth who would fear You and keep the commandments, so that they would not go to hell and the lake of fire. I pray, Lord, that You will put enough fear and belief in them that they will repent and not be partakers in the life of the world, because they will not be happy with the adventure when they are there.

Lord, I pray that the church and those listening would be strengthened through what You do through me on this podcast. May their hearts be saved. I ask it in Jesus’ name.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Audience:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Amen. All right.

Some people are so evil that they do not even say amen to a prayer like that. There are a lot of people in this room, and I heard maybe four or five of them. Do not let anybody fool you. There are definitely lots of wicked people in churches. They are in my church. One devil was among the twelve that the Lord had. So one out of twelve.

We have millions of people now listening to my broadcast, receiving the literature, and watching on the internet. We just jumped up a couple of thousand more today on the internet from last week. It is way up into the tens of thousands. So we are getting a lot of responses. People are listening to the message.

Where do you have letters from?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
There is one from Covington, Georgia.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Okay. What does it say?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“Thank you for your radio ministry, which I listen to Monday through Friday while I am working. It has been a real blessing. It has been twelve months since we started our ministry in Conyers, Georgia, without any resources. As an immigrant, we still do not have any resources for our ministry, but we thank God because He has given us the opportunity to preach the gospel. Please pray for us. Thank you.”

Pierre, from Covington, Georgia.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
That is right. If you are desirous of being able to evangelize for no money at all, you can send for the literature, and we will send you as much as you need. You can distribute it throughout town, and you will have a revival going there, because we see it happening everywhere else in the world. Some of those people will help support the ministry, and some may even own buildings that they will let you preach and teach from. They may be able to provide food, lodging, and all those sorts of things for you.

That is the way the Lord ministers. As you continue in Him, He keeps pouring out blessings and opening more and more doors all the time. That is why, after almost forty-two years now, in September it will be forty-two years since the Lord first visited me, we have progressively gotten to where I am right now, and where the people in the church who are of the Lord are right now.

Naturally, any church that is really of the Lord is going to be more severely attacked by Satan than any other church on the face of this earth. There are many devils in the church and outside the church. That does not mean the church is wrong. If that were true, then the Lord would have been wrong, because He had a devil, and we have a few here also. I am sure the branches of the Lord’s body everywhere in the world have devils too.

Why would the devil want to attack a devil’s church? Jesus said Satan will not cast out Satan. Why would Satan cast himself out? What he wants to do is get around a real, strong, powerful gospel church and contaminate it and infiltrate it, so that evil attitudes are shown to people who are young in the church and foolish, and they start taking on the same spirit as those devils.

That is why, in the eleventh chapter of the book of Revelation, the Lord tells John to take a reed and measure the people in the church, to measure the church. Each one of us is part of the church, because the kingdom of heaven is within us if we are really born again of the Spirit. If we are born again of the Spirit, we can tell the people who are of the Lord from the ones who are not of the Lord. It is simple, because you do not see any real spiritual thing happening from them. You see disobedience, nonchalance, and defiance. They want to prance around like they are somebody in the church, as though they do not think you have the power to put them out, as the Lord commands in Revelation 11.

He says to measure them with the rod. The measuring rod is the Word of God. The Lord says for us not to judge anybody with our own judgment, but He says to take His Word and use it to judge all things and everybody by His Word. His Word is the measuring rod. If people are living in defiance of His Word, then He says in the eleventh chapter of Revelation to put them outside with the dogs and pigs, with the Gentiles. He calls unbelievers dogs and pigs.

He demands that people follow Him. He said, “My sheep follow Me.” In other words, they do what His Word says. He says, “My sheep follow Me. They know My voice.” Any person who does not follow Him, listen to Him, and do what He says is not His. This is especially true if they attack the people He has appointed to be over them, like when people attacked Moses.

Even Moses was attacked by his sister, Miriam, over an Ethiopian woman, and God turned Miriam leprous. If anyone comes against the people of the Lord, the ones the Lord has set over them, they are synagogues of Satan, because those people are providing spiritual food and drink. Even a dog will not bite or act haughty around somebody who is feeding it. So if you attack the body of Christ, especially the person in charge, you are like a dog or a swine.

Moses had three wives, and one of them was an Ethiopian. Miriam thought the woman should have been Jewish or Hebrew. Moses was the meekest man on earth, which means he listened more to God than anybody else on the face of the earth. It did not mean he was weak. It meant he did everything God said, like I do, and like Buster does if I show him to do anything.

Buster did not want to go to Africa, but when I asked him if he wanted to go to Africa, I needed somebody to go there to find out if these people are legitimate. There are many Africans who have asked for money and lied to us, and the same with people in India. I want to make sure the money of the Lord is going to the right place. The Lord says for us to be vigilant. We want to search things out. Do not believe every spirit, the Lord says, but test the spirits to see if they are true.

That is what I am doing. I am going to test the spirits. I have already tested the spirits of people around me, and I know exactly where they are. None of them can claim they are naive or just stupid, because no matter how many times you tell them, they still continue to disobey. Some have such unmitigated gall that they even argue when they know full well that the decisions I make every day are right on. They know I am hearing from the Lord because they see me praying for people who are healed immediately, and they themselves get healed immediately. They see the Lord pouring in finances. They see me giving messages that come from the Lord, and they see that I never turn anybody away from food or water if they are in distress.

Many people come, not just from Africa, but here in the United States. They cannot pay their light bill, and they have little babies in the house. They come and ask if we can turn their lights on. We immediately do it. People are stranded and do not have enough money for gas to get home. I send one of our people. We do not give them the money; we pay the light bill, the gas bill, or the water bill. We go down to the company and pay the bill ourselves immediately. We do not wait, because there are little children in the house. When people need medicine and say it costs two or three hundred dollars, we check it out. They give us the prescription, and we go pick up the medicine for them.

Have you people ever seen me refuse anybody this way?

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Audience:
No, never.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Okay. Now, if you come here and say you want two hundred dollars to buy Aunt Mattel a pearl necklace or something, I am going to tell you no. Go earn the money to get Aunt Mattel the pearl necklace. She does not need that. That money is for people who really need it. If you want money to send somebody to some demon-possessed university, I will not give that to you. There are certain things I will do and certain things I will not do. If it is of the Lord, I would give it to you.

Anybody who would come against a church like this is definitely led by Satan. Anyone who would argue with anybody who leads such a church is sad. This is led of the Lord. You may say, “Well, I have something against you.” Whatever you have against me, the Lord has millions of times more against you, because anybody who thinks they are greater than God or greater than the people God selects to lead them is so demon-possessed it is unbelievable. I want you to know that.

Now, where is the next letter from?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
From Nigeria.

“Greetings to you, Pastor Alamo, in the name of Jesus, who never changes. I am very happy to have the privilege to communicate with you. I have confidence in my heart that you are the man to teach the right path. Since I came to Christ, my family and in-laws have turned me away. There has been no one to help me. The devil had been tempting me to commit suicide. He would say, ‘It is the best thing for you. You should not even be existing, since nobody cares for you. Just go hang yourself.’

“But God, as I was planning to do just that, I received your pamphlet books from a friend. God revived me through these truths. Please send me two Holy Bibles for me and my wife, and six other Bibles for Christian friends. Thank you for everything, and may God bless you mightily.”

Your son in the Lord, Cahinde, from Benin City, Nigeria.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Many people are suicidal. It is an epidemic today, especially with young people, because they cannot see that this world has any future. There are 200 countries now that have the atomic bomb, and the Vatican is causing all these countries, and even more, to be antagonistic toward America. Many of these countries include people who, he says, are terrorists, and they are so set against us that they say they have briefcases with atomic bombs that can be carried in them.

This next year, I prophesied that there will be more terrorist attacks, far more than the World Trade Center. They are going to happen in places where most people would least expect them. I have just recently been doing some mastering at Capitol Records on Vine Street in Hollywood. They have such security there that you cannot believe it, because they realize they are a landmark and are afraid somebody is going to blow the place up. They have guards at the front door, the back door, all over the place, and out in the parking lot.

The same thing is true of the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. What can they do if somebody fires a rocket, or if a suicide person walks by with a briefcase, sets a timer for ten seconds, and throws the briefcase in the door? An atomic bomb would blow up not only the Empire State Building, but everything for miles around it.

People are still defiant toward God. The Bible says we are living in perilous times because people will be lovers of their own selves. They do not love the Word of God. They are lovers of their own selves more than lovers of God, the Word. I can see it plainly because I study the Word of God, and I am in the Spirit. I see where everybody else is. I can see you. You cannot fool me.

If I were you, I would mean it. Suicide is like an epidemic. Teenagers are wiping themselves out because they hear the news. They know there are countries with A-bombs, and they know the people of the world hate the United States because, according to the speaker, we are over there bombing their countries. They know they do not have the economic wealth that we have, so they revert to terrorism. They want to make a point so that the people here in the United States will back off and leave them alone.

Why do we, the people of the United States, have any business antagonizing people in other countries? Who do we think we are that we can go over there and bomb innocent men, women, and little children, leaving many children without mothers and fathers because they are killed over there by us? Not by we who are of the gospel, the true gospel, but by people who say they are American citizens and Christians, when, according to the speaker, they are not Christians and are not American citizens.

We adhere to the Constitution, which Rome hates. We believe in freedom of religion. We do not believe in hanging people or burning them at the stake because they do not believe as we do, but the Vatican has done that for centuries. Now they are saying that if anyone even thinks somebody is doing any kind of crime, do not go to court; blow them up, like at Waco. No trial. The man who was president in President Clinton’s time stated, according to the speaker, that it should teach people not to belong to cults.

Well, a cult is a person who does not believe in the Bible. The Vatican does not believe in the Bible. They tell you not to read it, that it is dangerous for you. That is what the Bible says a cult is. But if anyone can tell me what I am doing that is contrary to the Bible, they do not. There is not one thing you can say that I am doing that is contrary to the Word of God. So I am not a cult. I am directly from the Word of God.

The Bible says that if you say anything you want about the Son of Man, because the Son of Man was a man, that is one thing. He was a man with one exception: He had the Holy Spirit in Him, and nobody else did. But Jesus said not to say anything against the Holy Spirit in Him. If you say the Holy Spirit that is in me is a cult, you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit. You are saying that the things I am preaching and teaching, and the things I am doing, such as casting out devils by the Holy Spirit, are of a cult. Are you saying I am a devil? If I am laying hands on somebody and they are healed, are you saying that is the devil?

You can say anything about me that you want, as long as you do not say that I am preaching and teaching the wrong thing, or that when I am praying, it is the devil casting sickness, disease, or infirmity out of people, or that if I am casting devils out of somebody, it is by the devil instead of the Lord. No, it is the Lord.

Say anything about me. You do not like the way I comb my hair. You do not like the way I talk or present the gospel. But I am presenting it the way the Lord, through His Spirit, is telling me to present it, because people are dead in sins and trespasses, and there is something the Lord has to do to cause them to start believing the Word of God. He has sent many smooth talkers to you, and Satan has sent even smoother talkers. But now you have somebody telling it the exact way the Lord tells it. If you do not like the Spirit that is in me, then you do not like the Lord.

He said that the same Spirit through Paul abides in you that was in the Lord Jesus Christ when He was here on earth. That means we could be equal sons of God. If that Spirit is in you when you die, then when the Lord comes on resurrection morning, on the day of final judgment, you will be resurrected from the dead just as Jesus was resurrected from the dead. If I am one of the two witnesses, then that will happen even before the end. I am sure that I am going to be killed for the gospel’s sake. I am sure of it. The sooner the better, as far as I am concerned, because every day I am working to get into the kingdom of God. If Satan wants to shorten that time, or if the Lord wants to shorten it, then be my guest, because I am ready to go right now.

But you people who say that we are a cult, I believe with all my heart and soul that you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit and that you are on your way to hell and the lake of fire, with no forgiveness. You may have parties, and one of the websites says backsliders had a party with hot dogs and children’s games, and that people gathered together speaking evil about the Lord’s work here. They laughed because they hated the Word of God. They did not want to be around the Word of God. They did not believe the Word of God as it is. They do not believe the Old and New Testament. They have made up their own rules, and they have blasphemed the Holy Spirit by saying that this church, and the leader God has chosen to lead it, is a cult.

You think you can use words idly, but as I was saying yesterday in the message about Isaac blessing Jacob, there was not anything he could do to take it back. Once something goes out of your mouth, it is over. Some people say, “Well, that was a long time ago when I said that.” According to the Word of God, if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit, it sticks throughout eternity, and there is no forgiveness here or in the world to come.

If you argue with the person who is the leader of the Lord and knows he is doing everything correctly, you are blaspheming the Holy Spirit yourself, because you are calling that man a liar when, in fact, you are the liar.

There is a woman here. There were many reports on her son. The schoolteacher said he was the worst child. He said he saw 150 children a day, and in all the years he had been doing that, he had never met anyone worse than that child. She would not receive it. She believed the child, who told her that somebody else had given that report. I said no, it was him. So she made me prove it and, in essence, called me a liar. I called the man on the phone and asked whether it was he who reported this boy as the worst person. After a long conversation, he kept saying yes. So she did not believe me, and I proved it to her. I was not making anything up. I do not want to go to hell. I am not going to hell for any reason, let alone for an unruly boy or for someone who does not believe me when the Lord said to believe me.

At any rate, where is the next letter from?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
The Philippines.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
The Philippines. What do they say?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“Hello. I am a Christian and student who is now taking a higher move in disciple-making to Christians and also evangelism to non-Christians. I would like to order all materials and copies from your church for the student ministry here in the city. These will be of great use in our team as we work out God’s plans for this place. May I request your Bible audio messages and CDs? Thank you a lot. May God richly bless your church and the people who are part of your plans in magnifying God in the highest. I hope I can have all of the materials and books. This is for people here, helping them to become Christians.”

In Christ always and forever, Prince Cassidy, from Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
There you have another letter?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
Yes, from Ireland.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
It is good. This man is more than likely a novice, and it is good that he is taking the literature and the teachings on tapes from a person who is not a novice. If you are a novice and you attempt to go out and preach or teach, you may preach, but not teach. The Lord, through Paul, stated that he suffers not a novice to teach, because they fall into the same condemnation as the devil. That is from the Lord. In other words, the condemnation of the devil is that he is going to hell and the lake of fire, and that is where you would go if you, as a novice, go out and teach before you have become seasoned and mature in the Lord.

What does the letter say?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“Dear Tony Alamo, I am writing again to thank you and your fellow workers in the gospel for sending Bibles to Ireland. I have been able to give a number of Bibles to the people here. Their joy at receiving them is hard to describe. They are very, very happy and thankful. The American people have such ready access to Bibles and churches that I think most would not have any idea what it is like to live in a land where the Holy Scriptures have traditionally been suppressed for centuries.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Right. That is through the Catholic cult. The Catholics do not believe in the Bible, and that is why, according to the speaker, they are taking them out of the schools and trying to do away with the Bible entirely here in the United States. In China, it is even worse, because one person may have a Bible and share it with a thousand people. When they hand it to each other, they do it gently because they do not want to ruin the pages.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“I am hoping that, in your kindness, you could continue to send the Holy Bible somewhat on a regular basis. I would think that some of your books, ‘The Messiah According to Bible Prophecy,’ would also be a great blessing and help.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Okay. Send them five cases of Bibles, and send them a hundred Messiah books to start out with. That will be about a hundred Bibles. What is it, ten or twelve Bibles in a case? None of you know because none of you are really that interested.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Audience:
Ten.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Somebody said ten. There is one interested party here. If you send them ten cases, that is a hundred Bibles, at least it was at the time I went to school. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“The Roman Catholic Church is on a sharp decline here.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Well, the Catholic newspaper stated that I cut that church in half, and that was around twenty-two or twenty-three years ago. So it is probably less than half now. Most Catholics I talk to do not believe in their doctrine anymore, and I thank God for it, because, according to the speaker, it is satanic.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“However, many of the traditions are still in the minds of the people. Only the Holy Scriptures itself can shine the light of truth that can awaken the conversion.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Amen, brother.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“Ireland is a very unique mission field. The gospel evangelist here must have great tact and wisdom and a working knowledge of Catholicism, Protestant traditions, and Irish history.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
That is a good thing. If I were in Ireland, I probably would have been hung already, because I do not have much tact. I just preach it the way the Holy Spirit tells me. I would have been strung up on the Blarney Stone a long time ago.

What else?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“Ireland and its people have been victimized by Rome and savagely ruled by Protestant England.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Well, Protestant England is the same as Antichrist Rome. The Protestant church became split from the Catholic Church because of the king. The king wanted to marry, divorce, and marry again. Catholicism does not believe in that, so he split off from the Catholic cult and kept all the same traditions, with the exception of being able to marry over and over again. According to the king’s new rules, you could be married over and over again.

What was that king’s name? Henry VIII? “Henry VIII, I Am.” So he was Catholic, and he made the Church of England. The rules of the English church are the same as Catholicism, according to the speaker. This man may not know that, so he makes it look like two different cults. It is the same one.

What else?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“The Protestant and barbaric English rule was very counterproductive to the Holy Gospel and caused the Irish to become staunchly Catholic. Therefore, one must avoid any dogmatic confrontationalism. Such arguments inflame hatreds, and the whole point gets lost in emotional conflagration.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
I am not emotional. I like to be led by the Spirit. When the Spirit tells me to say something, I am going to say it. I am not emotional about it, except that I am emotional in that I love the Lord’s Word and want to preach it. Hate is an emotion and love is an emotion. The Lord commands every person who is of the Lord to hate evil. I hate Satan. You cannot serve two masters. You must love one and hate the other. You are going to either hate or love the Lord, and you are going to hate or love Satan. The Lord is fully aware that a lot of people hate. They hate the Word, and they hate those who preach and teach it.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“Thank you so very much again. I think that no greater purpose can be on earth than bringing the light and truth of God’s holy Word to others. May Christ our Lord very richly and bountifully bless you from glory.”

Your friend in Ireland, Thomas, from Mayo, Ireland.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Right. Lord, I love it every time we get letters from our distributors in Ireland.

Now, Sharon, let us read from the book of Luke, chapter 14, right?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
Right.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
All right. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“And it came to pass, as He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath day, that they watched Him. And, behold, there was a certain man before Him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day? And they held their peace. And He took him, and healed him, and let him go.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Okay. Let us read the last five verses in chapter 13.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
Okay.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Make it six verses.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“And, behold, there are last which shall be first.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
There are people who are going to be saved in the last days who will be first. They are going to get into the kingdom of heaven, and the first will be last. They will not make it. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“And there are first which shall be last. The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto Him, Get Thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill Thee. And He said unto them...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
The Pharisees, the religious leaders, wanted Him to get out of there. He called Herod the name of an animal, didn’t He?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
Yes. A fox.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Yes. So you had better watch out for Me, because I will cast the devil out of you. He is saying that in front of the Pharisees, that He will cast the devil out of them too. Watch out for Me, because I have the power to cast the devil out of you.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Yes, and I am healing people today and tomorrow. What do you do? You tell Me to be afraid of Herod. Get out of the land because Herod wants to get You. Get away from us. We do not want to hear Your words. Be afraid of Satan. And Jesus says, no, I am going to cast out devils and heal people. You tell that fox that. He could even heal his wicked mind if he wanted Him to.

What else?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“And the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
That is Antichrist government there. Anti-God government. Do you think God put those rulers there as God’s rulers? This is the point the Lord wants to make, because so many people believe the government is the ruler of a Christian. The Lord says to tell your secular, demonic government that He is going to walk according to the Holy Spirit, that He is the ruler of the universe. Everybody today pays so much attention to the Antichrist cult in Rome, its government, and its media.

Read that last verse again.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
They kill the prophets and throw the prophets in prison. Are they God’s rulers?

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Audience:
No.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
No. God has appointed people such as myself as His rulers. People who do not obey me are not of the Lord. People who argue with me are not of the Lord. Are you saying you are always right? No, I am saying the Lord is always right. When I am coming to you from the Bible, you are not to argue with God’s Word.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
You killers of the prophets, the ones who jail them and kill them: I would have treated you like little lambs or little chicks. I would have helped you too, but you were killers and never repented. Keep going.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Your house, in other words your body, is your house rather than the house of God, and it is desolate. God does not dwell in you any longer. God is not in you. When you stand before the Lord, He says, “I never knew you. Depart, you wicked, into eternal everlasting torment.”

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“And verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see Me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Yes. Okay. Now chapter 14. Let us get specific so people know where you are reading from.

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“And it came to pass, as He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath day, that they watched Him. And, behold, there was a certain man before Him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Is it lawful for God to do what He wants to do? Is it all right with you, children whom the Lord calls bastards, for God to do what He wants on the Sabbath day? Is that okay with you phonies?

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“And they held their peace.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
They would not answer because they thought that was righteous, to keep their mouths shut. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“And He took him, and healed him, and let him go, and answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
So they were ashamed. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“And they could not answer Him again to these things. And He put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when He marked how they chose out the chief rooms, saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him; and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
It is like if you go to a movie premiere and sit in the chief seats when you did not purchase them. The person who really bought the seat comes in, and you have to get up in front of everybody and go down to the lowest place. That is shameful, because you are taken out of the number-one seat and put down at the bottom. It is better to go to the lower place, to take a humble position, so that God can exalt you, rather than for you to exalt yourself. If you exalt yourself, you are going to go down.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Letter Reader / Sharon:
“But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
My time is almost up, so the Lord is bidding you to go to the lowest place before God, for you to humble yourself before Him, kneel before the cross, and ask the Lord to enter into you. If you will humble yourself like that, confess all your sins, and ask the Lord to come in and wash away all your former sins, He will do it.

He tells you not to believe the doctrine being preached today that says He takes care of your former sins, present sins, and future sins. That is false, according to the speaker. Only the false prophets are preaching that. He says He takes all your former sins away and gives you the power to continue on in the Holy Spirit, because you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. You will be saved, and later you will receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and be fit for the ministry.

That is what we are going to do right now. If you want to humble yourself, go to the lowest seat, and kneel before the Lord, He will resurrect you spiritually from your dead spirit. He will quicken, or make alive, the spirit that is in you, which is dead now. He will bring you up out of your spiritual deadness and bring you alive. Then you will be in the body of Christ, a new member in the kingdom of heaven.

All you need to do to start this journey, and you have to complete it to the end in order to be saved, is begin now by saying this prayer, because He commands that we must be born again of the Spirit. Repeat this prayer:

My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, and I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my filthy sins. I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. I open the door of my heart, Lord Jesus, and I ask You to enter in and wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed for me 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 all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, and that includes me. Therefore, I know You have heard me, and I know You have answered me, and I know I am absolutely saved. I thank You, Lord Jesus, for absolutely saving my soul. Praise the Lord.

Now continue reading the Bible, because your faith will grow every time you read the Bible.
