Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Hello again. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. Today we are in part 100 of “How to Have God’s Life Living in You,” and this is program number 202.

If you would like a copy of this program, which will show you the heresy of some of the most predominant supposed ministers in this world and how radical they are, stay tuned. You may want a copy of this so you can play it in your church and preach it to everyone you know.

The Word of God, the book of Hebrews, which many scholars say was not written by Paul, speaks clearly. Because of the fact that it talks about Paul’s relationship with Timothy, we know that the book was written by Paul. Some say the language is not that of Paul, but at the time of the writing of this book, we know that it is Paul. None of Paul’s writings were really Paul; they were all from the Lord. The Lord laid down all Paul’s writings by the Holy Spirit.

According to my studies, many parts of the book of Hebrews show that Paul did write the book of Hebrews. He was a lot more mature when he wrote it. Naturally, if we are not growing in the Lord, then we will always sound the same. If people remember the first part of Paul’s ministry, he circumcised Timothy, which was not right. He later stated that he was leaving all things behind, the mistakes that he made. He says, “I press toward the mark,” even though he did things like that, thinking he was doing the will of God.

But certainly people know that fornicating, being disobedient to those who have the rule over you, adultery, women not obeying their husbands, women not subjecting themselves to their husbands in the Lord, and homosexuality or lesbianism are all the same in this respect: if you break any of the Lord’s commandments, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus never broke one commandment. He became like unto us so that we could be like Him. It says in every way He became flesh and blood like us, like those He redeemed, so that He would have power over everything. By everything, He means power over flesh and blood. The Spirit in Him was so powerful that He had power over flesh, His flesh, human flesh, and His human blood.

Now, Sharon, I am going to have you read that right now. Come over here and read Hebrews 2:14.

Reverend Hagey says, and many other ministers state, that Jesus had the blood of God in Him. Reverend Hagey, who talks fast and tells jokes, states that Jesus had the blood of God in Him. I called him a heretic for saying that because, if he says that, he is calling God a liar in the book of Hebrews. He may be parroting things that he learned from his father, who, I believe, was a Baptist minister. I am saying this: if he is of the Lord, let him receive not what I say, but what the Bible says. Amen.

Okay, read this.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
The children means those of us who were redeemed by Jesus. We are flesh and blood. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“He also Himself likewise took part of the same...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
He took part of the same flesh and human blood, the same as us. It says He was the same as we are. The only difference was that He had the Spirit of God in Him. We also have the Spirit of God. That means the spirits of the prophets are subject unto the prophets.

If we see the Word of God and then refuse to receive it and believe it, then we are not at all like the Savior. The Lord says we must be as the Savior. We must be like Him, or we in no wise can enter the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, He became flesh, human flesh, human blood, and bone, so that He could defeat Satan in the flesh, with human blood in Him, by living by the Spirit, the powerful Spirit of God in Him.

The Lord says that He makes the angels ministering winds. Wind, spirit, and breath are all the same word in Hebrew and Hellenic Greek. So He makes the angels ministering winds. Some angels live around the throne of God, and some live in the world. They are invisible. We cannot see them because they are made subject unto the Lord to help those of us who are like Christ.

Those of us who are not like Christ, even though we are flesh and blood, are not led by the Spirit. But those of us who are led by the Spirit have the Spirit living in us, and we follow Christ. We do not follow humans or destructive people who refuse to receive the fact that Christ was flesh and blood.

Therefore, Reverend Hagey and many other ministers make it sound as though we do not have power over flesh. They say nobody is perfect, which makes God a liar again. When they stand before the Lord and call God a liar, He will judge them. This book of Hebrews says He loves righteousness and hates lawlessness.

A person who teaches the world to be lawless is condemned. If they have been saved, if they once tasted of the heavenly things, if they tasted of the Spirit of God, if their former sins were cleansed away, then they must understand that Christ loves righteousness. He will not let any unrighteousness or lawlessness enter the kingdom of heaven. It stands to reason that anyone preaching lawlessness is not preaching the truth.

If someone says, “You have been saved, so you can go ahead and sin,” that person is, according to the speaker, a devil and a liar. It makes me very angry every time I see these things. The Lord is extremely angry at all those who love lawlessness and preach and teach it to people.

What is the name of that man in Atlanta, Georgia, too? He says there is not anything you can do that can make you lose your soul. He says you can sin, and the Lord took away all your sins: past, present, and future. You, Stanley, are a dirty, filthy liar, and anybody who wants to listen to that ought to read their Bible so they know who you are. The entire New Testament teaches a new covenant.

Father God, anoint this service in the name of Jesus. Lord, anoint this service so the people in the world will be able to receive it. Open their spiritual eyes and ears to receive this, Father, in Jesus’ name. Let the church be strengthened, and let souls be saved and realize the true meaning of holiness in the flesh, because Jesus was holy in the flesh, blood, and bone, just as we are, in all ways. He was made like unto us so that He could help us in the time of our troubles.

Anyone preaching these fallacies is destined for the pit of hell and the lake of fire. The Bible says Satan imitates and pretends that he is like a child of the Lord so that people will follow him into hell. There is no wonder that he does this. Satan must pretend to be an angel of light in order to destroy millions and billions of souls. That is why I am being resisted. There is tremendous resistance in this world against me because I have the Lord living in me, and I am telling you the truth.

Lord, in Jesus’ name, we pray that You will conduct this service as Your will be done, not mine.

The Bible says that God was in Him, giving Him strength. If you are born again of the Spirit, God is in you as well. The Bible makes the difference between flesh and God. It says Christ was a flesh, blood, and bone human. He became flesh and blood for a little while so that He could give those of us who are flesh, blood, and bone a chance to make it into the kingdom of heaven, if we remain steadfast in our faith. That means if we remain steadfast on a daily basis to the Lord until the end, until we die.

If we waver from day to day and say, “Well, I was not in the Spirit that day,” then we do not have the mind of Christ. We are saying we have the mind of Satan, and the Lord knows that. He is aware of everything that goes on.

Now, read Hebrews 2:14 again quickly.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Yes, the children of God are partakers in flesh and blood. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“He also Himself likewise took part of the same...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Jesus also Himself did what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Likewise took part of the same...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
He likewise took part of the same. He became flesh, blood, and bone. He partook in the same thing we did. Why?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“That through death...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
That through death, after He had conquered flesh, blood, and bone, and after death, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
He destroyed the devil in the flesh, so that anyone living and walking in His Spirit, with Him in them, is already a victor, so long as they stay steadfast in believing that.

Now, believing what? That Christ had flesh, human flesh, human blood, and human bone. Anybody preaching anything different from that is accursed. You are going to see Reverend Hagey’s ministry go down the drain, and also Charles Stanley’s. I notice when they flash the cameras on some of their congregations, the people have morbid looks on their faces because they possibly have read some of my literature or are possibly listening to my audio tapes. Then they pick up their Bibles.

The Spirit of God is in me. If you read the Word of God, the Spirit of God will be in you, because the Bible states that He upholds everything, including you and me if you have the Spirit of God in you, by the power of His Word, His Spirit. His Word is Spirit and life.

So if you are in His Word, you cannot claim, “I am flesh and blood, and I am weak,” because He gave power over His flesh and blood to us by being flesh, blood, and bone, just as the children He redeemed are flesh, blood, and bone. He did it by not committing sin, by the Spirit of God living in this Man who had flesh, blood, and bone.

That is why the Bible says God set Him at the right hand of God. If He is God, then why does it say that? There is only one God. But this Man, flesh, blood, and bone, right here on this earth, defeated everything. Therefore, the Spirit of God that was in Him exalted Him to the throne of God, or the power of God, because the right hand of God means the power and wisdom of God.

So He became the author and finisher of our faith. He was likened unto Melchizedek in the Old Testament. There was another priesthood in the Old Testament, Aaron’s priesthood, but Aaron was a sinner. Christ never sinned. Therefore, He had to put away the old covenant because the people in the Old Testament broke the old covenant. He made a new covenant and gave us an opportunity to have power and dominion over our flesh, our blood, and our bone.

If a person likes to meditate on sexual and sinful things all during the day, or meditate on how to hurt this person, how to lie about this person, or how to reject the Word of God during the day, then that person is lost. You may be so foolish that you think being lost is no big deal, but there are no words to explain how horrible hell is, just as the Bible states that there are no words to explain how beautiful the kingdom of heaven is.

Therefore, I pray that Charles Stanley, if you are not a devil, you will be saved, that you will repent, and that you will confess the false things you have taught people. John Hagey in Texas, I pray that you will confess your sins to the world and the false teachings you have taught them. Let me tell you something, sir: the Bible tells you plainly. When was the last time you read the Bible and mixed the things you read with faith? Why are you teaching the opposite of what the Lord God Almighty teaches? What is wrong with you? You either have to be a devil or ignorant of the scriptures. Either way, you should not have a congregation. If you do not repent, the Lord will cause you grief. You had better thank God that there is somebody here on earth to tell you the truth who is not afraid of you or anyone else on the face of this earth.

I am not afraid of the president, the whole administration, the entire world government, or you, because God is with me. When He is with me, there is nobody who can be against me. Little pipsqueaks may rise up, attempting to be against God, but God is in me.

You can be against me or call me a cult, but do not say the things I am preaching are cultic, because then you are coming against this Word, and the Word is Spirit and life. The Word is God. There is no forgiveness for that sin. You blaspheme the Holy Spirit, and there is no forgiveness for that here on this earth or in the world to come. So be careful.

Read that scripture again.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
So people who fear God do not have to fear death any longer, because God is in you. If God is in you on the day you die, and if you continue being faithful to the Word, because the Word is God, to the very end, then the Lord will raise you up on the day you die. You will be in heaven.

The Bible says it is appointed unto man once to die, and after this, judgment. Christ was a man. He had to die. If He was not a man with flesh, blood, and bone, then He would not have to die. There is no way you could kill Him, because you cannot kill the Holy Spirit. God is a Spirit. But He sent Himself into this world as a man, and all men must die.

That is why Enoch has to come back. Another heresy that I hear people saying, Reverend Hagey and others, is that Enoch and Elijah are going to be back again. Elijah died once. He is not going to come back again. He was John the Baptist. He came back in the form of John the Baptist, so he died once. It does not say it is appointed unto men to die twice, but once, and after this, the judgment.

Even Christ, the Man who had flesh and blood in Him, had to die. Then the Lord proved that He was God by the resurrection. He raised Him up from the dead, and that gives us great hope because He was in the flesh and did not sin. That shows us what God said about Him entering the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, we know He never sinned because God raised Him from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit that was in Him. Later, He ascended into heaven.

Even the two witnesses who are here on earth will ascend into heaven, and this time the whole world will see them rather than just five hundred. This is not to exalt the two witnesses. People should exalt the scriptures that say Christ ascended into the kingdom of heaven. What about these two? Are they Christ? No, they are members of His body. They are members of His body, and the Spirit of God is in them.

Now go to Hebrews, chapter 2, verse 17.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
In all things, it behooved the Lord to be made like us, those of us who are born again in the Spirit, flesh, blood, and bone. It is going to say that. In every way, He was like us, yet without sin, because He was born with that power, or grace, the power of God in Him, so that He had victory over His flesh, blood, and bone, His humanness. He gives us the same power, and if we deny that power, then He will deny us.

Young boys and young girls may think it is smart to deny the Lord and say the Word of God is a lie, but if you say that, you are the liar, and you are part of Antichrist on this earth today. If you say that you can get into heaven by breaking any of these commandments, then you are in error, because the Bible says that if you break one, you have broken them all. What good would it do for you to keep all the commandments and break one? You are still going to hell and the lake of fire.

You may say, “We just do not know if we can keep those commandments.” No, you cannot, but if you have the power of God in you like Christ did, you will conquer flesh, blood, bone, sin, Satan, the world, death, hell, and the grave.

Okay, read it again.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Wherefore in all things it behooved Him...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
All things. Put capital letters on that and underline it. In all things, what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“To be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Right. He has mercy on us because He knows what it is like. He had to fight. He was in flesh, blood, and bone. He was tempted in every way, and He had to stand firm in the Word of God and rebuke every filthy suggestion that Satan brought to Him.

This is chapter 2 of the book of Hebrews, verses 14 and 17, and this teaching goes on throughout the entire New Testament. There had to be a New Testament, written in His blood, because there is no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood. He is now the high priest after the order of Melchizedek. It is a never-ending priesthood. It is a priesthood in which Christ has no beginning and no end, not as a man, but as the Son of God.

It is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that is one God. The Bible plainly tells us Jesus is the power of God. Without Jesus, there is no power. He is the image of God. He was made in our image, not the Father, because the Father is Spirit. He has no visible image except His Son.

The Father and the Holy Spirit are Spirit. God is Spirit, not a ghost. These people who keep calling God or the Spirit the Holy Ghost are not mature in the Lord. They should not be teaching that because God is not a ghost. The people who rewrote the King James Version gave us a good version, but there are things you should know. When the Bible plainly tells you, even in the King James Version, that God is a Spirit, then you should know the meaning. I think someone told me Shakespeare changed the words to make them flow more. If you read the original Bible, it tells you exactly everything, but it is said in a crude manner, very much like the way I speak.

God’s Word comes down crude and rude to all the dudes. God is rough and tough. He is not whispering around.

Now read it one more time, and then we will get into the first chapter of Hebrews.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Right, because He was in the flesh. It hurt Him when the nails went into His hands and feet, and when the spear went into His side. It hurt Him when all those people around Him spit on Him and hit Him with their fists. That is why He has mercy whenever anybody persecutes us. He sends His ministering spirits. Amen.

The ministering angels are given to us, or the ministering winds, or the ministering breaths. I heard another pastor, on a panel of supposedly knowledgeable men, say that the angels do not have a will, that God never gave them a will. I would like you to find the scripture and verse where it says that they do not have a will. If they did not have a will, then why did one-third of them make a decision to go against God and believe Satan?

You have a will, too, and I have a will as well. We can all say we are going to make a decision and stick to it to the end of our lives, to believe the scriptures, or we can make a decision just to pretend to be Christians.

The Bible says, “Let me warn you, brethren.” You know that you had better not turn away in unbelief. That right there shows you they are not sealed into eternity, as Charles Stanley says. You must fight the good fight of faith. You cannot believe that we cannot be perfect when the Bible plainly states that we are perfect if we are in the Spirit. That, to God, is perfection. He sees us fighting Satan and resisting the devil, and he flees from us. That shows He has given us power to make Satan flee from us.

He tells you to obey those who have the rule over you, and in the thirteenth chapter of Romans He tells you who has the rule over you. It certainly is not Antichrist authorities on this earth. It is the ministers of God who are not preaching heresy to you. Do not think for one second that people teaching you heresy are God’s authorities. These are people of Satan acting as though they are ministering spirits or angels of light, and they are devils themselves.

Why does the Lord tell us to study the Word so that we may be workmen unashamed? Because if you do not study the Bible, you are going to fall away, and you are going to be ashamed on judgment day before the great white throne of God.

If I were you, I would not be sitting in front of television watching cartoons, and I would not be wasting my time when I could be reading the Bible. Some people drink something and then say, after the commercial, “I could have had a V8.” This is far more important. You could have been reading these scriptures. You could have been implanting more and more of the power of God within your mortal body so that you are not weak, sickly, and beggarly like Satan himself.

I am warning you from the Word of God. She just read two scriptures that tear these false prophets’ doctrines to pieces. He had human blood. If you thought otherwise, you might say, “Of course He could make it because He had God’s blood, God’s flesh, God’s bone.” Liar. In every way He was made exactly like us, human beings: flesh, blood, and bone.

Do God a service and send wires to these people who say otherwise. Tell them what I said so they can talk badly about me, but they will have to find scriptures. If you say I am a cult, show me scriptures where I am preaching wrong. Show me scriptures where I am preaching false doctrine. I am telling you what the Bible says. If you care about your souls, you had better pick up the Bible and study it. I am not talking about one of these government Bibles. I am talking about the King James Version, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Hellenic Greek, and you will find out that I am telling the truth.

Start from the beginning again.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Wherefore in all things...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
All things. Put the emphasis where it belongs. In every way, every day, Christ did not sin. In every way and every day, in all things, He was made like us, and He did not sin once, not one day, not one second, not one minute. He was human. He says, “I did not come to do away with the law. I came to enforce it, to show you that it could be kept. I came here to fulfill the law and then become the quickening Spirit, or the life-giving Spirit, in you, so that you could fulfill the moral law in Me.”

The law of sacrifices is all done away with because the sacrifices were only symbols of the Messiah who was going to come, the Lamb of God. When He came, you did not have to keep sacrificing because of the fact that you were a sinner. In the Old Testament, even the priest had to offer sacrifices, not every year only, but every day, in the morning and in the evening. He had to sacrifice a lamb to keep covering sins.

But when the real sacrifice came, He was slaughtered once. One time He died, because this human was not going to die twice for your sins. Therefore, the Bible tells us that if you sin willfully, not accidentally, but willfully and knowingly, then there remains no more repentance for you. You cannot repent, because the Lord is not going to come back and die again for you. He only died once. It is appointed unto men to die once. He says, “I was dead, and I am now alive forevermore. I am not going to die anymore for you. I did it once.”

Therefore, you have to keep yourself in the Spirit and not allow Satan to take hold of you anymore. That is why Jesus said, “Take heed how you hear,” because there are all kinds of false prophets in the world. You have to believe the ones God has sent, not lying little boys or girls, or lying men or women. You have to believe the ones the Lord sent. Why? Because the Bible says so. If you do not believe the Bible, then you are lost. Unbelief is the biggest sin because there is no way you can be saved. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Without belief in God’s Word, every word of it, it is impossible to please God. If you do not please Him, He is not going to let you into heaven.

Go ahead. Finish that. I keep interrupting you because I am so angry at these people. I want to implant this in your spirit and mind because the Lord wants you to have the mind of Christ, which did not believe any evil thing. He believed God, and that is what you have to do if you want to be a member of His body. There is not going to be one part of Christ’s body or His bride that has sin on it. Anyone teaching you that He forgave all your sins, past, present, and future, do not believe that.

Charles Stanley, if you do not repent, you need to admit the things you have said wrong to people here on this earth, the ones the Lord died for. I am saying this for your soul’s sake. The same with you, John Hagey, or anyone else out there preaching the same heresy.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Yes. He can reconcile us by saying, “Look, I conquered the flesh, the blood, and the bone. If I am living in you by the power of God, then you will also have power over the flesh.”

The Lord called the people of the Lord to rule the world. What does that mean? He gave rulership of the world to Adam and Eve. It is not unlike God to give rulership of the world to human beings. After all, the first two human beings were given complete rule of the world. Christ came back and took rule over flesh, bone, and blood, but only for those who will not listen to Satan.

If you do not believe that you are one of the Lord’s rulers here on earth, that you will rule the nations with a rod of iron, but instead believe this garbage that you cannot abstain from sin, then that is because you do not have the power of God in you. That means you are not born again of the Spirit, the breath of God, the wind of God, flames of fire, not flames of milquetoast, not flames of hell, but flames of fire.

The Holy Spirit came down upon the children in the book of Acts like flames of fire when the Holy Spirit, the wind, the breath of God, came into that room like a rushing, roaring freight train and filled them with the power of God so they could endure all things as Christ did, without sinning, in the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

We are messengers, angels. The Lord says we are ministering messengers, or like angels, with the message of God. How could Reverend Hagey, with these false messages, and Charles Stanley, or any of the rest of you who have not been born again of the Spirit, be flames of fire ministers of God and rulers? You should have studied your scriptures more, because now you need to be ashamed. You are sending people’s souls to hell by saying none of us is perfect. Maybe none of you are perfect, but if I am walking in the Spirit, I am perfect. Anyone else who is walking in the Spirit, in the Word, which is Spirit and life, is perfect.

Now let us go to chapter 1.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
In times past, God spoke to the people of this world in different ways. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
In different ways. How did God speak to people in this world? He spoke through the deeds that Christ did. He raised the dead. If you cannot do that, then you are not of the Lord either. He laid hands on people and they recovered. He spoke the Word, and the Spirit of God, when He spoke it, cast devils out. He healed every kind of sickness, infirmity, and disease. If you cannot do that, there is something wrong with you. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
All things. He gave Him rulership of everything on this earth, and not only this earth. Christ conquered so much by the Spirit of God, and God gives Him power over everything in heaven and on earth. All power, Jesus said, belongs unto Me in heaven and on earth.

What kind of a man is this, who speaks to the sea and the wind and says, “Be still,” and it calms down immediately? This is a man in the flesh, but He does not walk according to the flesh. He has the power of God in Him, and He uses it to stand and rule everything. Waves are no big deal to Him. Wind is no big deal. He is the ruler of this whole world and heaven right now, and He has also given us power to control all things, even the rain and the wind, to open and close it. He gave us power to win souls, to preach the gospel, and to heal anyone who believes.

Jesus asked the man, “Do you believe?” The man said, “Lord, help my unbelief.” Help your unbelief here. Be healed. If he was healed, does that make you believe? If you read these things and do not believe them, then you do not believe either. Therefore, do not expect to have any of this power that the Lord gave to those who believe, because you are a faker.

You live in the church and partake in the blessings of the people who are in the Spirit, yet you do not do the things the Bible says Christ did. Christ speaks to us by raising the dead. Amen. That is a different and sundry way to speak to us.

Then He ascended into heaven. That speaks to me. He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. That speaks to me. He spoke to me by visions I had, and different real, spiritual, strong dreams. When I was a young man, the visions came, and when I am an older man, the dreams came. The Lord must have considered me old. He says, “Do not be ashamed of My Word.”

Susie kept trying to stop me from preaching the gospel because she said I was too crude, too rude, too rough, too tough, too brutally honest. This is the way the Lord says to be. That is the way He was. He rebuked evil spirits, and they threw the person on the ground. They used to cast people into the fire, and then all of a sudden they were well, calm, and at peace.

He did the same thing with the man who had a legion of demons. They were all speaking through him at the same time. One time, Susie and I were praying for a woman named Verna. She was definitely possessed with the devil because she stated that she could feel Marilyn Monroe in her, and that the spirit of Abraham Lincoln would come in, and all this sort of thing.

Susie said, “Verna, come on. Let us pray for you.” When Susie laid hands on her, she fell down on the floor, and you could hear all these voices in her. It sounded like a hundred or hundreds of voices saying, “Do not call me Verna,” with all different voices. You could tell they were not coming from her mouth. They were coming from her stomach. I recoiled really fast. There is nothing in this whole world as eerie as that to me. I had never had that problem before or heard that happen before. I have heard a lot of devils talking to me, but not out of a human body like that. That really showed me and emphasized the scripture about how the demons in Legion were speaking out like that.

That person wanted to be free. He was sick and tired of being tormented by all those demons because he was cutting himself with stones. He was living in the graveyard and the tombs. That is where everybody is living right now. You see people casting themselves out of windows and killing themselves. The Lord wants your soul to be saved.

Young people are committing suicide, and you have to do something, because they are so unsure of what is going to happen in the world. If you read the Bible, you will be sure of what is going to happen in this world. If you are in the Spirit of God, everything is coming up roses, because you are going to heaven, not hell. Even if things get rough, the Lord’s power in you, the Bible plainly says, upholds everything by the power of His Word. He will uphold you too.

Keep reading.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“By whom also He made the worlds...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Jesus even made the worlds, because He is the Son of God. He is the power and wisdom of God. God said, “Let Us make man in Our image.” Jesus is the only one who has an image.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
He is the brightness of God’s glory. He conquered everything. He brought rulership back to this earth for human beings who want to have God living in them. You say, “I cannot keep the commandments.” Then you are doubting that God can uphold you, just like He upholds heaven and earth. This earth spins around because of the Word of His power, the power of His Word.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“And upholding all things by the word of His power...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
The words are “upholding all things by the word of His power.” That means all things. That includes you and me, if you submit yourself to Him, if you surrender yourself to His power, if you surrender yourself to His Word, if you read His Word instead of novels.

When I went to prison, a lot of people read books there to make the time go by. I read the Bible, and I brought more messages in there than I usually do out here in the world.

Then what? Read that again. That is good.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
He is the only one who was able to purge our former sins. He is the only one who, when He is in us as a Comforter, can give us power to endure to the end. If you flop on your face every day, or on your back or your head, you will not make it. You have to believe the scriptures.

I see some people frowning, like it is going to be a rough job. It will be a rough job, because I know I have been sinning every day. You have to do it, or else you will be in hell, and it is not nice there.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
That is because He is the right hand of God. He is the actual power of God and the wisdom of God, because there is no other wisdom to be saved except the way that the Word, which is Christ, shows us. Wisdom is to be saved. Foolishness is to be lost. He is the wisdom of God to get saved, and the power of God to keep you enduring all things and continuing to serve the Lord until the very end of your life.

If you do not want to receive that, then something is wrong with you. You love sin too much to go to heaven. You love sin so much that it causes you to have to go to hell.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“Being made so much better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
Right there, it shows that He is superior to the angels, because for a short time He became lower than the angels so He could win us to the Lord. Just for a short time, He became lower than the angels.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
“For unto which of the angels said He at any time, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee?”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
God never said that to any angel, because not one angel is God.

I see that my time is up. Make sure you tune in tomorrow for part 101. This shows you that the Lord has to live in you. That is how to have God’s life living in you: to receive what the scriptures say, because the scriptures are the Lord. By continuing to read the scriptures, you will be upheld every day, because you study the Word every day and then pray every day.

The Word tells you to pray without ceasing. So you read, and then you put the Word into action by praying without ceasing. You ask, “How do I pray without ceasing?” The Lord just moves on you to do it. I am always there because I know there is danger everywhere in this world, and I know Satan is after me. So I just stay there. It becomes second nature to me. I do not even think about it. It is the same thing as driving a car or breathing to me. I breathe prayer. I am just always there.

Lord, You can tell I am right there, Father God. Thank You, Jesus, for giving me Your wisdom, because I can read the Word and receive Your wisdom, because the Bible is God, and this is Your wisdom.

Those of you who want the power of God and the wisdom of God, you want Christ. You want to receive the whole Word into you. You want to be able to make it into heaven rather than hell. This is the first step you take: to receive Christ as your personal Savior.

Repeat after me to the Lord. Say to God with all your heart and soul:

My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. 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 my sins, and I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I open up 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. You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus. You will save my soul, I know, because Your Word says so. Your Word says You will turn no one away if they believe. Your Word says all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Therefore, I know that I am calling on You now. I know You are hearing me. I know You are answering me. I know I am saved, and I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul.

Now just raise your hands and praise and thank the Lord.

If you have a pencil or pen and a piece of paper, you can write down four different ways. Just one of them will be fine. Sharon, tell them how to receive a copy of this audio tape or CD absolutely free of charge. If you need a Bible, we will send you one free of charge, along with literature. The postage is paid, and so is the handling.

All right, Sharon, tell them.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Go to AlamoMinistries.com, or write to Tony Alamo Christian Ministries, P.O. Box 6467, Texarkana, Texas 75505. You can also call area code 479-782-7370, or fax area code 479-782-7406.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo:
All right. Praise the Lord. Make sure you tune in tomorrow because we are going to continue on with the book of Hebrews. The book of Hebrews is going to tell you not to miss the scriptures, that we must have Christ living in us in order to be upheld by His power, and we must have His Word in us. Otherwise, if we fail, He is not going to die again for us.

So do not believe this weak and beggarly stuff that these false prophets are preaching. You must be strong. You must fight. You must make yourself, you must force yourself, to be controlled by the Holy Spirit. You must control yourself to be controlled by the Holy Spirit, the Word of God. You can do that easily by reading the Word of God, because the Word of God is the Holy Spirit. The Word of God is God.

Until tomorrow, this is World Pastor Tony Alamo saying God bless you and praise the Lord. If you received the Lord today, send me a note letting me know. You will encourage my soul. But whether you do or not, I am not going to falter on my way to heaven. I am going to be there, and I would love to see you there as well. Good night.
