Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Hi, this is World Pastor Tony Alamo. We are at part 85 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You. If you have a paper, pencil, or pen near you, you can jot this down. This is program number 187. That is what you will be asking for if you would like to have a copy.

At the end of the program, Sharon is going to tell you how to receive the program four different ways. Remember, everything you receive from this broadcast or from our church is absolutely free. If you order a Bible, a program, former programs, or literature, it is absolutely free.

The reason for that is, I know you are supposed to pay tithes and everything, but I do this because I will not sell messages. I will not sell Bibles. I will not sell tapes. You do have to tithe, but I do not sell any of these things because there are a lot of people who do not have any money. Not only that, God never charged me anything for salvation. He paid the price for my salvation. Therefore, I do not charge either. I believe God would be really angry at me if I charged for the dispensing of His Word.

We have some letters. It is amazing; all the letters are from the United States, with the exception of one from Venezuela. Then we have a testimonial from the state of Montana. We have a witnessing crew out there, as well as in many hundreds of other places. They have a pretty good letter here, or an email.

But right now, let us go to the throne of the Lord to ask the Lord to anoint this program.

Lord, You know that I can do nothing without You. I can do nothing without the Spirit. I can do no supernatural thing without the Holy Spirit. Your Word is Spirit, and it is life. Lord, I ask that You speak through me, because I really do not want to say anything on this program tonight. I want it to be strictly You.

I ask, Lord, that it be You, that there are no words that come out of my mouth that are not coming from You. Only You, Lord, have the work. It is Your work, and we are just people who are to be instruments in Your hands for the very purpose that You came into this world, and that is to save sinners, so they can become saints, so they can become vessels that You, Christ, live in with Your Father by the Spirit.

You appropriate a bride, to put together one bride, which is a combination of many millions of people who have Your Spirit living in them, who become one corporate body of the Lord Jesus Christ, wherein lives the Spirit of God, and we live in You. We are purchased by You, and therefore we need to be consecrated to You.

Consecration means that we give ourselves to You as a gift. You gave Yourself to us, and therefore it is our reasonable duty to surrender our entire life over to You. You paid the price, and there is a straight and narrow path that only we can walk. We can only walk that walk if You are the One walking it in us.

It is impossible for human flesh. It is impossible for carnality, or natural flesh, to enter the kingdom of God. It is absolutely impossible. We must put the super onto the natural in order to enter into the supernatural kingdom of God.

Heaven is going to be destroyed, and there is a new world coming. We know of the old world that was drowned because of sin, and this present world is going to be set on fire because of sin. But the future world that is coming is a world wherein no sin shall dwell. Therefore, the only way people can get into that kingdom is to be sin-free.

Sin is off limits in heaven. There is no sin in heaven. Therefore, we need Your power, the very power that has created everything in the world and in the heavens, and the very power that keeps this planet spinning around in perfect order. What makes this world go round? Only Your power, Lord.

Your power is the power of our salvation. We can be saved, and we can stay saved if we walk in Your Spirit. Your Word plainly tells us it is very easy to read that there is no condemnation to those who walk not in the natural, but in the supernatural; those who walk in Your supernatural Spirit, who have the Spirit of the Almighty God in them, who have Christ with His Father by the Spirit, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the fullness of the Godhead, living, working in, and through us.

You tell us that You took the cross throughout Your entire life, and You expect us to pick up the cross and do the same thing: deny ourselves. There are all kinds of temptations, but we have to deny them if we want to make it entirely into the new world that is coming. The new world will not be destroyed by sin. The first world was destroyed by sin, and the second world will be destroyed by sin, but the third world, the new world, is coming.

These people here talk about the new world order, but the real new world is the one that is coming, and it is coming very soon. Lord, we know that if we do Your will, if we humble ourselves before the cross and leave our former life there, let ourselves be slain on the cross, and then let You by Your Spirit enter in and resurrect us from the dead life, which is the first resurrection, then we become the incarnation, the present incarnation of You here on earth. You are incarnate here, and we are the new incarnation, the continuation of Your living here on earth in human flesh. This is the way that people’s souls are saved.

Lord, I already feel You making that clear through my mouth this evening. I thank You for that, Lord. I get so many letters stating that people understand the Scriptures by the way I speak, because I am consecrated unto You. I have delivered my entire life into Your hands, and because of that, You make the Word clear through me. It is You who is doing it.

The words that I speak are not mine, any more than the words that Jesus spoke were His only. The words I speak are the Father’s, and the words I speak are Spirit and life. The words I speak are felt in the hearts and souls of human beings that You have created, because You are the very Creator, and the creation understands when God is speaking to them. That is why people can understand that the Lord is speaking, that You are speaking to them through me.

Lord, I know that because of this, souls will be saved, and I know for sure that the church is being edified. Nevertheless, I ask it in the name of Jesus, the holy, precious name of Jesus. In Jesus’ holy name.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
All right, praise the Lord. Where is the first letter from?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
From Covington, Georgia.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Okay.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Pastor Alamo, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am greeting you. Thank you very much for your ministries, which are a great source of spiritual blessing for me and the ministry we started one year ago here in Atlanta, Georgia.

“People are getting saved through the literature and Messiah books you have sent us. I heard about your ministries through the radio, and since then, I realized that you are the man of God. That is why at least twice I wrote to you. God bless you and your ministry so that many souls continue to be saved.

“To finish, I would like to let you know that I also speak French and Swahili, and if you need my help to translate your literature or books, I am available. God bless you, and praise be to our Almighty God. Pastor Pierre from Covington, Georgia.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Praise the Lord. I would love to have you, because every piece of literature that I have written, and there is a lot of it, we need to translate into every language. It is extremely expensive when we hire people from the United Nations or elsewhere. They want lots of money for that.

I appreciate your offer. Any time you would like to do this, what I need is for our tract room, our shipping room, and our print shop to let me know what tracts and pieces of literature have not yet been printed in Swahili and French. Let us get them to this brother so he can begin translating them immediately.

I praise and thank the Lord for this open door, and everyone in the church should praise and thank the Lord for this open door as well. Praise the Lord for you, brother.

Okay, read the next letter.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
It is from Zulia, Venezuela.

“Dear World Pastor Tony Alamo, today I received three T-shirts and the literature. Thank you very much. Dear Pastor, I am so thankful. This work is going very well. Your literature is being received enthusiastically, and many are giving their lives to the King of kings, Jesus Christ, thanks to your literature. It is so good and clear.

“Many are asking for Bibles because they are so expensive over here. If you could send me more, my country would be very thankful.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
There is such a group. We have already sent them in.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
These come in, and the packing room has orders to get them out immediately. These are the results: people who want to distribute the literature. It does not really make any difference what church you belong to. If you would like to get a blessing, any work that I know is of the Lord, I help it out because I want a blessing from their work. There are several of them.

You can receive blessings, the same blessings we receive, by being the distributor, by distributing the literature in your area. I could care less what church you belong to. If you want to distribute the soul-winning literature, just write in for it, and we will give you a T-shirt to boot. If you are a big distributor, we will give you three or four T-shirts, so that when one is in the wash, the other one can be on your body.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Praise the Lord. We will send tapes, Bibles, literature, CDs, whatever.

Okay, what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“There is such a growth here. Thank you, God. I will be waiting for your reply. Blessings, beloved. Would you please send me audio messages, especially the book of Samuel in Spanish?”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The Lord says that He is going to do a quick work in these last days. I know that the Lord is standing right at the door, ready to come back. The disasters are going to happen in rapid succession, the tribulations, and you will see that there is not going to be anybody who is delivered out of the tribulations except those who die in a car wreck or a natural death.

The Bible says that the Lord is coming back immediately after the tribulations to take us away. Is there anything else on this letter?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
It is just signed Williams from Zulia, Venezuela.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Praise the Lord to you, brother. We have already got your things packed and sent. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
The next letter is from East Moline, Illinois.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
East Moline.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
Moline.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
I have been there before.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Dear Pastor Alamo, I have been reading philosophy since the age of five. When I was eight years old, I read Schopenhauer’s The World as Will and Representation. By the age of 10, I had read Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. By the time I reached puberty, I had read Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals and The Antichrist.

“Little did I know that Satan was building an intellectual highway for me heading straight to hell. By the time I enrolled as a student at the University of Michigan, I had crawled so deep inside the tunnel of Hades that I could feel its fire burn the flesh off my bosom. By this time, I was firmly under the thumb of the devil.

“I went on to read Marx’s The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, along with Bakunin’s God and the State. Satan was telling me to reject God’s Word and become a revolutionary communist. I joined Chairman Bob Avakian’s Revolutionary Communist Party, RCP.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
There are so many people who have studied all these satanic books. You can see them on television, you see them in the Vatican, you see them in false religion all over the world, you see them in the news media, in the government, everywhere.

But thank God, it sounds like this person is going to tell us that they pulled up an alley because he got one of my pieces of literature. That is powerful.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Let us hear more. I cannot wait to hear.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“I rose quickly through the ranks to Vice Premier of the RCP Ann Arbor Politburo. I must admit I was a good little comrade for Satan. I fell into Beelzebub’s hell chamber after I read Sartre’s atheistic communist existentialist tome, Being and Nothingness, and Camus’s dark anti-Christian saga, The Stranger.

“I was riding Satan’s escalator down into the bowels of the eternal garden of hellfire and damnation.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The only thing is, there is no garden down there.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
There are just killers and sheets of fire, and people burning and screaming, seemingly melting, just like everything else is going to burn up. What else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“I finally succumbed to the will of Satan after watching a pornographic movie starring Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey. It might have been his devil’s horns. It might have been his angular Van Dyke beard, but whatever it was, it really turned me on.

“I read The Satanic Bible, and I soon became a member of the Church of Satan. I was no longer a mere godless communist. I was now a God-hating communist. I was now a full-fledged satanic communist agitator and troublemaker.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
These people who wrote all those books have written them for people who are infatuated with no knowledge. That is why you see so many anti-Christ, anti-Christian, anti-God, and anti-Bible people in this world today.

They read it, and they do not know that their souls are on their way to hell. How could anybody be against the Creator, the One who came into this world and gave them an escape from hell and the lake of fire? They just keep hating Him. They are the most wicked people on the face of this earth, and I know that is why God is going to allow them to scream their heads off and spit the pill in the lake of fire.

All right, keep going.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“I was booted out of the RCP once Chairman Avakian discovered my relationship with the Church of Satan. I was dumbfounded by Chairman Bob’s decision, but it appears that communists are both godless and Satan-less.

“I still maintained my godless Marxist views until I discovered that Satanists are not egalitarian, but rather extreme individualists. So I ditched Marxism in favor of objectivism, and ever since, I have maintained a seat on the Church of Satan board of trustees.

“It was not until I arrived in Los Angeles last week for a board meeting that I finally saw a stream of light peeking out of the darkness. As I was leaving the hotel to hear Dr. Herman von Bloch speak at a COS luncheon, I noticed a pamphlet under my bed, right next to my socks.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
And this pamphlet was one of my pieces of literature.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“It was like some divine intervention, for lying beside my feet, lo and behold, was the Word of the Lord Almighty. My life was changed forever, for I was now walking on the golden path of Jesus, and I have only you, Holy Tony Alamo, to thank.

“God bless you, your late wife, God bless her soul, and that fabulous head of hair you have. Praise Jesus, amen, and best wishes. Don from East Moline, Illinois.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Oh yes, I guess I am a little fabulous, right, with my hair? Notice, I have thinned out quite a bit down through the years. She must have seen one of your pieces of literature. I hope I do not disappoint you when you see me.

Now we have a report from Billings, Montana, or from the Montana area. Is that true?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Today, Friday, we hit Bowmans Junction.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Well, we distributed literature in Bowman, okay. That is why they use slang in the Christian realm too. When they go into a city and just wallpaper it with literature, they say they hit this Montana town with the literature, with the Word of God.

So I am just trying to explain what that meant, “hit.” It is not like the mafia, where they hit somebody and kill them. What else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“We distributed the literature in Bowmans Junction, Simms, Fort Shaw, Sun River, Vaughn, and Great Falls, Montana. We had a lot of good responses in all these places, and a lot of people were glad to receive the World Newsletters.

“In one of the small towns, we gave a newsletter to a man who said that he had gotten one on his car at the Benny Hinn crusade last Saturday in Billings, Montana. He was witnessed to and wanted to get saved. He said the sinner’s prayer and was very happy.

“In Great Falls, we gave a newsletter to a man named Dr. Richard Jonas, who was a preacher at Mountain States Baptist College. He was very excited when he got your newsletter and said that he had gotten saved, along with his sister Rose Pacheco, at our church in California many years ago.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Rose Pacheco still comes to our church. Her daughter is saved in the church. So this man was saved, and he is what now?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
A preacher at Mountain States Baptist College.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Praise the Lord. Yes, there are people who have been saved in my church all over the world now. Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“He acted very convicted when he heard about how the church has grown into a worldwide soul-winning ministry, and he asked us to give you, his sister, and everyone his regards.

“We have around 10,000 newsletters left and plan to distribute some more in Great Falls in the morning, then Belt, Windham, Moccasin, and the other small towns on the way to Lewistown.

“After hitting these places, we plan to head south, hitting more small towns through the center of Montana with whatever newsletters we have left.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
I hate using the word “bergs.” You should use “small towns,” because I came from a small town. Do not minimize small towns because I came from a little town in Montana. I think it is just about the smallest town, called Windham. Then I lived in Lewistown, Helena, Butte, Billings, and I lived in a real beautiful city.

Look, we have done a worldwide work just from a little mountain boy from Montana. You cannot tell. That is why I make sure they go to all the little towns to distribute the literature, because there are people in those towns who can become extremely big and great in the Lord.

I had an uncle who lived in Windham too. His name was Gordon, and he is the one who designed the first atomic submarine, the Nautilus. Then he also designed the Polaris submarine, the submarine that can go to Antarctica and stay under ice water for a month at a time without coming up for air.

Then another one of my uncles from Windham, Montana, became one of the world’s greatest artists. He worked in the art department at Columbia Motion Picture Studios, and then he worked over at the other studio that did the motion picture Gone with the Wind. He did all the cloud scenes in that picture. Those were not real clouds. They were put on the screen by my uncle Clayton.

A lot of them became pretty good. You can never tell. Do not minimize the people or think we were a bunch of hicks from small towns, because some real great people who have changed the course of this world come from small towns.

It seems like people in larger towns are so busy and distracted with everything that they can never focus their mind on one thing so they can become great. There are some, but most of the people I have read about in history, or a lot of them, have come from little towns. Isn’t that something? We had more time to think there and to dream.

I never thought of the Lord, though, never. The Lord had to supernaturally come down and get me.

Okay, is that it?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
Yes.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
All right, let us get into How to Have God’s Life Living in You, so that He can work in you and through you.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“The love of God is the motive of our consecration.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Well, yes, we have to have a motive, but the motive that I have is the fear of the Lord. I know that the Bible states that if I do not serve Him and keep His commandments, I will not get into heaven. That is a very big motive.

So love is the motive, because love is the keeping of God’s commandments. If you do not keep God’s commandments, and I am talking about every single one of them, there is no possible way that you can enter the kingdom of heaven. You cannot enter the new world.

Again, the first world was destroyed because of sin, by water. This world that we are presently living in is going to be destroyed by fire. But in the new world that is coming, sin is off limits. It is not allowed there at all. We must have the new birth in order to go into the new world.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Everything has to be new. We become new creatures when we accept the new birth, when we accept God Almighty, the triune God, into our heart.

The Bible says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,” and the Lord Jesus Christ is the Word of God. The Word came into the world in the flesh. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,” which means believe the whole Word of God, and thou shalt be saved.

My motivation is what the book of Ecclesiastes says that we must have, and that is the fear of the Lord. The Bible says that the whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments. That fear is the beginning of wisdom, and the fear is wisdom.

Some people say, “Well, love.” Well, love, the Bible states, is the keeping of God’s commandments. You are not going to keep the commandments, the Lord told Moses, unless you fear Him.

Yes, I am motivated by love. I must love God, and I love Him because I feel His Spirit. I have seen Him. I have seen Jesus. So there is not any false doctrine that can come out on television, and no one can say anything to me about this doctrine or that doctrine, because I have seen Christ myself with my very eyes wide open. I was wide awake.

I have heard from Him on almost a steady basis. There was one time I got very jealous because Susie was with somebody I had prayed through, and they were clapping hands together because they were so happy. I got so jealous of her doing that that the Lord told me, “Deny thyself. Deny thyself. Deny thyself.”

It was almost like I could see a ring of smoke come down upon me. It was like the Spirit. It looked like smoke. Every time He said, “Deny thyself. Deny thyself. Deny thyself,” I was still jealous, very angry, and jealous. The Lord popped my ears, and I was not able to hear His Word, to hear Him speak to me any longer.

At that moment, it was like two spiritual corks went into my spiritual ears, and I could not hear His voice any longer. That went on for years, until Susie was on her deathbed and I was praying. I really had not been getting clear direction for several years. Then Susie, in the coma, raised up. She sat upright and put her hands on both of my ears. She said, “Lord, open his ears.”

Immediately, I was hearing from the Lord again. That was her blessing on me just before she died. I have the hearing ears of God. I have talked to a lot of old-timers in the gospel field, and they know that I have the hearing ears from God.

Susie said, “The people who are exalted by the Vatican are so jealous of you, it is unbelievable. That is why they will not mention your name. They will never mention your name, even though you are feeding them the gospel.”

I said, “Well, I really do not care, because as long as they are preaching the things I am feeding, that is all I care about. What is the difference? If it is getting into the ears of the unsaved public, that is all I care about, because God knows where they are getting these messages from.”

I still hear some of them giving heresy. Now, there are some of them who are getting messages from God, because I hear them. They have hearing ears as well. Every so often, I know that the message they are getting is from the Lord.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
I am not the only one. God is no respecter of persons. If you will just give your whole life over to Him, if you will consecrate your entire life unto Him and put yourself in His hands, and say, “Lord, do with me whatever You will,” and you are not going to get angry about what He tells you to do, He will give you ears to hear.

That is why He says, “All those who have ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.” He did not say, “Okay, Tony, with your ears here, do I count you as the only one?” I am not. I am not trying to say that. I am just telling you what I have experienced.

That certainly is not a flattering thing for me to tell you, that the Lord shut my ears off because of jealousy. Nobody can stand against that. It is just like not listening to the Lord after He says, “Deny thyself,” three times in a row. I still was just festering, angry, and then my ears were stopped up immediately.

That went on for years. I could not hear. I had to back off and let Susie do the hearing. I had to let her do the preaching. I am telling you that for your own good: do not defy God in anything, because He will shut your ears off. Unless there is somebody powerful around you who can lay hands on your ears and pray for you, you are never going to hear from the Lord if you are defying Him and being angry at something the Lord has done.

Do not be angry. Thank Him. Praise Him for this brother, this man, being saved right now. Your wife, she did not have an evil bone in her body. She was godly, the most godly woman that you will ever meet. No one will be as godly as her, and no one knew me better than her. I knew that.

Okay, that is my confession for the evening. Now what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“In a holy consecration, this motive of love is, needless to say, very essential.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
It is essential to keep those commandments. Love is the keeping of those commandments. When you do, God pours out His blessings on you, His love from the throne of God. He also lets you hear secret things from Him, essential, very important messages for you from Him.

If you are not hearing them, and you are not grieved about that, then you are not hearing from the Lord. That means you really have never lived in the presence of the Lord before, because if you had, you would miss that so much. I missed it very much. I just kept wondering what I was supposed to do.

I was always the person who never honored women that much, because to me, I thought all women were, excuse the term, pigs. I saw so many women in the world who did not have any fear of God. They were only looking for, I will use a very tame word, romance, more than romance. You all know what I am talking about, I am sure.

They had no morals, no scruples, and there was nothing to be desired at all whatsoever. When I found Sue, that was a completely different story. I knew that she was different. I saw the way the Lord talked to her. When she prayed, I could just feel that I was right up in the presence of the Lord with her.

I learned to pray from Sue. When she would go up to the throne, I would go right up there with her. She prayed and prayed, “Oh God, oh God, Heavenly Father, Lord Father God, hallelujah,” and she would be right up at the throne. I had never really felt that before in my entire life.

I felt the Spirit of God when He came down upon me, and I was very full of the Spirit of the Lord. We would get up there together. But she was the one who first taught me how to pray. That was extremely important because if we do not pray to the Lord, if we do not ask Him for things, and if we do not do the things He tells us to do, that means we are sowing mercy. If we do not sow mercy, we are not going to receive mercy.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The Lord has called us to be sowers of mercy, to sow the seed of the Word of God to other people. That is what I am doing right now.

I love to tell the experiences of the Lord when the Lord moves on me to tell these different experiences that I have had with Him. Now I hear from the Lord, and now you hear from the Lord through me. Once I am sure, you listen to other people, and you hear from the Lord. You hear from the Lord when you are reading His Word.

All right, now where are we at?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Consecration rests only on the basis of ownership.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The basis means the same as reason. The reason we consecrate unto the Lord is because He bought us with His blood. If that is not a good enough reason for you to give yourself unto Him, then what would you want from God? He gave His life for you in a piece of flesh. That is the reason, or the basis, that we consecrate ourselves unto the Lord.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Consecration rests only on the basis of ownership, the realization of God’s right to us.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Right. The Bible says, “Know ye not that ye are the temple,” or the house, the home of God, and that you do not belong to yourself? If you are the home of God, then He, and He alone, is the One to live in you. He and He alone is the only One to tell you what to do.

You are not to impulsively take off and do whatever you want to do during the day. You are not to be impetuous and do whatever you want.

I went to town today. I asked the Lord, “Do You want me to go to town today?” He said okay for me to go to town today. He said yes, so I went. But many days He tells me, “No. You stay in the house and do what I want. Study today.”

What else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“This consecration will only be based on the reason for consecration.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The reason, or the basis, is that He purchased us. We belong to Him. When something belongs to you, that is it.

Then what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“What it lacks is the actual sweetness of the Lord, the sweetness toward us, the great rushing of water toward us, and the intensity that this great rushing of loving water is to us.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Why? Because you do not realize it. It does not impact most people. I know it is said, “The Lord died for you,” legally, and blah, blah, blah. In other words, to them, it is nothing.

The reason that you spoke of that is a reason for me to give myself to the Lord. He forced me not to have to go to hell and the lake of fire. Is that no reason? “I do not have to go to hell now, but I do not really believe there is a hell or a lake of fire anyway.” You are going to find out.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The Lord says that the old world was destroyed by water. This present world is going to be destroyed by fire, and there is a new world coming wherein no sin shall enter, but only righteousness will be in that world. If you are not in that world, you are going to be screaming your head off forever in the lake of fire.

Read 2 Peter, chapter 3, verses 1, 2, and 3, and a little bit further. There is more.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
He says, “your pure minds.” So this is talking to saved, born-again people. This is not talking to the sinner out there, because you do not have a pure mind. There are a lot of people sitting in churches who do not have pure minds either.

There are people sitting in churches who are filthy. They have lying tongues. Their brains are totally corrupted. They never read the Word enough to purify their minds.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior; knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Yes. People are sitting in churches, and all the time they are sitting there, they are looking or glancing at somebody, lusting after somebody in the church. Or they cannot even go outside the door without lusting after somebody they see walking down the street. Their eyes are so quick to follow them. They think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
When they are seen doing that and you try to warn them, they say, “I did not do that.” You can see them doing this. You could probably catch them in the act, and they deny it.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“And saying, Where is the promise of His coming?”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Yes, where is the new world? We are still here in this present world, and it is getting worse all the time. They are talking about a new world order. This is kind of a new world order.

All the things going on in this world today went on back in the old days that you read about in the Bible, where the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. There was sodomy. They even tried to have filthy sex with the Lord Himself, with the angels.

There is nothing different today. They would do the same thing if the Lord came down right now. They would try to have sexual relationships with holy men of God. These people are the most corrupt, and unless they repent, and usually devils cannot repent, they deserve to spend eternity burning forever. God is not unjust. He is going to burn who deserves to burn.

Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Keep going.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the Word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water; whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The first world perished. Right. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Continue on. There is a new world coming.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
This is not a new world. This is the world that is reserved for fire. In the new world, there is no sin. Sin is not to be there at all. It cannot be there. It is forbidden. It is walled off from there.

Then what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years is one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
See, a promise. If the Lord promised that He was going to send His Savior to this world, He did not break His promise, because His Son came into this world. He said He was going to die for us.

The book of Isaiah says that He was going to be cut off, killed for the sins of the world. If God was going to break any promise, I would say, if I was God, that would be the one I would break. I would not want my Son to die for a filthy you. If I was God, I would not allow my Son, whom I love very much, to die for you, not for you or me.

But God did not break that promise. God did send His Son into this world, and He let Him go to the cross. He let dirty, filthy sinners rip His beard out and beat Him into insensibility, smashing His body until you could not even tell it was a human body.

That is why I do not like these motion pictures, because they have Him hanging so pretty on the cross. He looked like a piece of butchered meat on that cross. He was bleeding from the top of His head to His feet.

God never broke His promise. He did send Him into this world so He would die for us.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
If I was God, I would have broken that promise if I was going to break any. So if God did not break that promise, you can believe that He is not going to break any of these other promises.

The promise is that He is going to turn this world into an inferno. It is going to be purged, and every filthy person who never repented, who wants to just go and mock God and scoff at God, is going to burn. He promises that, and God does not break His promises.

Now, He is going to burn the old heaven and this old earth. This is no new world order. This is a dirty, filthy, scummy time in history. These last 2,000 years have been such a time that Christ was butchered and put on that cross, and people of this world have gotten so evil that they are trying to butcher the Word of God and come in with this Da Vinci Code and all this other stuff.

I will not even read it. Whenever I hear any supposed preacher talk about it, I turn it off. I would rather watch Lassie than watch these people exalting, or even giving a platform for Satan to preach this dirty, filthy lie about Judas being a good man and Jesus being a con artist, and talking to Jesus on the QT and telling Him, “Hey, I want you to do this.”

The Bible says Judas was a devil.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
He is in hell right now. So do not you false teachers out there. There is one preacher. There is me on this earth now. God is in me.

They say He married Mary Magdalene. Anybody who wants to believe that filth, turn it off when you hear people talking like that. Do not let Satan dump that garbage into your ears.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Read the last sentence again.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
God was not slack. He allowed His Son to be killed for you and me and everybody else in this world. People have denied that. They do not want that blessing, so they pay no attention.

Now they are taking the Word of God out of everywhere they can so that people cannot read and hear how wonderful God is and know Him.

Okay, then what? He is not slack in His promise. He has given everybody in this world an opportunity to believe on Him, His Son, the Word of God. They just keep on with their dirty, filthy lies.

God is not slack. He said He was going to destroy the world with water, and He did.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
He was not slack in that either.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
No.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
He said He was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, and did He?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
Yes.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The Lord said that all the Hebrew people except two of them were not going to be able to enter in, that all the Hebrew people were going to die. Did they?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
Yes.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
He said He was going to deliver them out of Egypt. Did He?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
Yes.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
That is history.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
These words were spoken years before it ever happened. The entire Old Testament is about Jesus, the Lamb of God, that they had to put on the doorpost in Egypt in order to get out of there, in order for God to deliver them. All the plagues that God poured out on Egypt are history. They are in the history books. In Egypt, you can go there and see.

So God is not slack in His promise. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“As some men count slackness.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Some people count slackness. All right. The Bible says that we would be able to tell when the end time would come because those Jews would be preaching to you Gentiles. There would be 144,000 of us Jews talking to Gentiles. Some of you never pay any attention to the Word of God.

The Bible says, “Believe on the Word of God,” which is the Lord Jesus Christ, “and thou shalt be saved.” If you leave the Word of God, if you do not believe it, you are in trouble.

Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“But is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
He is longsuffering. He is sending His preachers out to tell you. He is longsuffering because He does not really want anybody to perish. But because you ignore the Word, and the Word is His Son, and you ignore His Word, which is the Bible, and the Bible is the Word of God, and the Word of God is God.

When you open the Word of God, you are actually reading. You are looking at God. You are learning of God. You do not feel the Spirit of God when you are reading the Bible until after you are saved.

Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth also, and the works that are therein, shall be burned up.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
See right there? This is the promise, right?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
Yes.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
He is not slack in His promise.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
He is promising it. He is giving you a space of time, and right now is the time of salvation, because this is the time. The Lord has given me this message, and He says now is the moment of salvation.

He promised the first world was going to be flooded, the old world. Now this present world will be burned, and then there is a new world coming. The bird flu is coming. Now, man is promising that, but I believe the new world is coming more than the bird flu.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
I believe God over man. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Even the dirt on this earth and in the heavens is going to melt. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
There is a new world.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
A new world is to come. Now let us keep going.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Wherein dwelleth righteousness.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Only righteousness. There is no sin. Sin is off limits.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
If you are a sinner, you had better repent, because there is not one sin, not one spot, not one blemish. Do not tell one lie, because you will not be in heaven. Anything that maketh a lie shall not be in the kingdom of God.

All right, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
And?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Reader:
“And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to—”

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The longsuffering of the Lord is the power of God unto salvation. The power of God is salvation. I am not ashamed of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God, because it is the power of God unto salvation.

The power of God is salvation.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The power of the Word of God is salvation. That is not a rhyme or an urge to rhyme. The power of God is salvation.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
There is no other power on earth that can save your soul. Jesus said, “I am the life, and I am the resurrection. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the Almighty God, and I am the Savior of the world, the Messiah.”

The whole Bible says that. Read my book entitled The Messiah. It tells you of 333 prophecies concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and nobody else has even come close. Not even a millionth as close as Jesus.

The Bible tells the exact day that the Messiah would be born, the Savior of the world, and the exact day He would die. It said He would be on a cross, nailed through His hands and feet, and then He would be pierced in His side and sold for 30 pieces of silver. It goes on and on and on.

Absolute truth. Christ was born on the exact day the Bible says, and He died on the exact day the Bible says, and He died in the exact manner the Bible says the Messiah would die. He fulfilled all the prophecies. The angels came down, and multitudes of people saw Him ascending into the kingdom of heaven after He rose from the dead.

You must be crazy if you do not read the Bible, because you need to prepare your heart for eternity. You need to prepare yourself for eternity. People are preparing themselves for some career on the face of the earth. They go to universities, and then when they are getting their graduation, a guy walks across the street with his diploma and gets hit by a bus. What good is it?

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
The Bible says to serve the Lord in your youth, while you are young, and forget about all this carnal teaching down here on earth. This natural teaching. Put supernatural to your teaching.

Speaker 3 – Congregation / Studio Response:
Amen.

Speaker 1 – World Pastor Tony Alamo / Host:
Read the Bible and live in the Word of God, and you will know because of the Spirit that every word in the Bible is absolutely true. It is absolutely true. God is going to keep this promise. He promises that if we do not know Him, we shall not spend eternity in the kingdom of heaven.

You can know Him right now. You can invite the Spirit of God in. You can have the new birth right now. This will be getting you ready for the new world that is coming, because this whole world here is going to be burned up, and it is going to happen real soon.

A lot of people think that it would be done by atomic energy, but the Lord is going to destroy this earth and the heavens. Man is not going to destroy the heavens. God is doing that. He just has to say one word. You are made out of atoms, and He can ignite you just like a tinderbox that is lit up.

Let us get ready. I want you to get ready for the Lord. I want you to accept the new birth. I want you to become a new creature. God wants this more than I do. He wanted it so bad that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on the entire Word of God shall be saved.

Do not believe any of the world’s teachings. Be saved now by saying this prayer to the Lord with me. Say it with all your heart.

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 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 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. You promised that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It is Your promise. You promised to send Your Son. You did, and it is Your promise that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. You have never broken a promise, and You never will. You are God, the Holy Word of God.

Therefore, I know that You have heard me, and I know that You have answered me, and I know I am saved because You promised that I am. Therefore, I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul.

Raise your hands and say, “Praise You, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus. Praise the Lord.” Keep on praising the Lord. Keep on reading the Word of God, and keep on consecrating yourself unto the Lord. God’s life will remain in you now until you give up your soul.

All right. Be sure to tune in tomorrow because God is going to give another message, and you do not want to give up hearing from the Lord. You do not want to suffer the same way I did, when I could not hear the Lord for several years. As long as the Lord’s Word is nigh, listen.
