White Raiment, Revelation, and the Warning Against Defiled Garments

Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries

White Raiment, Revelation, and the Warning Against Defiled Garments
Sermon 759A

Opening the Archived Revelation Teaching

This archived message from Tony Alamo is introduced as program number 759, presented by Help from Christ Ministries. Tony opens with prayer, asking God to reveal the Scriptures, help listeners receive the truth, resist Satan, and remain worthy to walk in paradise in white raiment. He frames the program as a continuation of his teaching through the Book of Revelation, with the goal of strengthening the church and calling listeners to salvation.

“To God Be the Glory” and the Praise Before the Teaching

Before entering the main Scripture lesson, the program includes Tony’s recording of “My Tribute,” also known as “To God Be the Glory,” written by Andraé Crouch. Tony introduces the song by giving glory to God for choosing him, as he says, to preach the gospel to millions in the last days. After the song, he reflects on God’s creation, pointing to the heavens, stars, sun, moon, galaxies, flowers, bees, fruit trees, and nature as evidence of God’s handiwork.

Revelation, Sardis, and the Few Who Remain Undefiled

Tony then returns to Revelation chapter 3, focusing on Christ’s message to the church in Sardis. He emphasizes the phrase about a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. For Tony, undefiled garments represent spiritual purity, obedience, and perfection before God. He warns that God knows what is in each person’s mind and heart, including secret plans, temptations, dishonesty, sexual motives, and any desire to cheat or deceive others.

White Raiment and the Need to Overcome

The lesson centers strongly on the promise that those who overcome will be clothed in white raiment and will not have their names blotted out of the Book of Life. Tony argues against teachings such as “once saved, always saved,” saying that a name could only be blotted out if it had first been written there. He also challenges preachers who say no one can be perfect, insisting that heaven is for those who overcome and remain spiritually clean through obedience to Christ.

Blotted Names, Judgment, and the Book of Life

Tony uses Revelation’s language about the Book of Life to warn that salvation must be lived out faithfully. He says that believers who return to sin, disobedience, or false worship risk having their names removed. He applies this warning broadly to people he identifies as hypocrites, corrupt religious leaders, immoral people, violent people, and those who reject the commandments of God. His emphasis is that eternal life requires ongoing obedience, repentance, and victory over sin.

Philadelphia, Open Doors, and the Key of David

Moving from Sardis to the message to Philadelphia, Tony discusses Christ as the one who is holy and true, the one who holds the key of David, and the one who opens doors no man can shut and shuts doors no man can open. He says God can open doors for anyone willing to obey Him, but that disobedience can shut doors that no person can reopen. Tony uses this to encourage listeners to follow God’s instructions rather than pursue their own plans.

The Synagogue of Satan and False Christianity

Tony also addresses Revelation’s reference to those who say they are Jews but are not, calling them the “synagogue of Satan.” He interprets this as people who claim to belong to God but reject true obedience, hate fellowship, resist correction, or oppose the work of God. In Tony’s framing, the term “Jew” becomes connected with being a true believer, and he applies the passage to false Christians who claim faith while lacking the works and spiritual fruit of obedience.

Keeping the Word of Patience

Tony highlights the promise that those who keep Christ’s word of patience will be kept from the hour of temptation. He explains this as daily, patient obedience: reading and doing the Word, accepting God’s assignments, preaching, traveling, witnessing, and continuing in the work even when it is difficult or unexciting. He contrasts that with people who prefer worldly pleasures, entertainment, sexual temptation, laziness, bitterness, or television and pornography over the discipline of living for God.

The Work of the Lord and the Call to Be Used

Near the end, Tony tells listeners that salvation is not passive. He says God saves people so that He can work in them and through them. The work of the Lord, in his teaching, includes receiving Christ, reading the Bible, listening to the Word, witnessing, resisting temptation, obeying God’s commands, and allowing God to use one’s life. He says those who do this can walk in white raiment and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Salvation Prayer and Program Closing

Tony closes by leading listeners in a salvation prayer, asking God to have mercy, forgive sins through the blood of Jesus, enter the heart by the Holy Spirit, and save the eternal soul. He then has Sharon provide contact information for listeners who want a free copy of program 759. The program ends with an invitation to continue listening for the next message in the Book of Revelation, followed by the Help from Christ Ministries closing announcement.

Welcome and thanks for joining us for today's message from the Archives of Pastor Tony
Olamo, presented by Help from Christ Ministries. If today's message inspires or encourages
you, please contact us at 918-506-5550. That's 918-506-5550. Or help from Christ Ministries
at gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you.
Hello again. This is world pastor Tony Olamo. This is program number 759. If you'd like
to have a copy of it, Sharon will tell you how at the end of the program. Just let us
know whether you want to see deer on audio tape. They're free, including the post-heats
and handling. Today I'm going to continue on in the book of Revelation. I've got songs,
but right now let's pray. Father, continue on knowing through me. Open up the scriptures.
There's never before in the whole world. Lord, let us be receivers of the truth. Let us watch
and pray. Watch and meditate in your word. Praying and meditating that we be worthy
to walk in the paradise of God in white raiment. Not one stain, not one blemish.
Lord, you've told us to rebuke Satan and to resist him. This means it's a part of the work of the
Lord to resist the devil, to give no place to him. If we feel ourselves being tempted
or to turn around, doing about face and flee from the very appearance of evil and to
reject Satan, to refuse anything that he has, and to give no place to him. In Jesus' name,
Lord, we pray that you rebuke Satan. And I rebuke you Satan in the blood of Jesus,
will the wall fire around in the body's Father, that the word may flow from me,
your word. Your words will flow through me to the world that you will dispense your word
into the hearts and minds and the souls of people in the world and in the church,
that they may be saved and strengthened in Jesus' name. I pray in everyone, say amen.
All right, here's another song that I've recorded recently. It's written by Andrei Crouch,
and it's called My Tribute, but most people know it by to God be the glory.
The Progs Symphony Orchestra conducted by HB Barnum, the arrangements by HB,
and also his life choir, and myself singing the lead. Okay, my tribute to God be the glory.
Father God, praise your holy name, Father God. I thank you, praise your holy name.
I never knew that you'd choose me in the last days to be the head of a good, wide,
swift, of God, preaching the gospel to hundreds of millions of people,
so that they could be led to glory, and they'd all get glory to you, Father God.
None of the glory goes to me, Father. I give all my love and my praise to you, Father God,
be the glory, and I thank you, Father God.
How can I say things for all the things you have done for me?
Things so undeserved, yet you give to prove your love for me, the voices of a million angels
could not express my gratitude.
I am forever hope to be. I hope it all to be.
God be the glory, praise you, Father God, praise you, Father God.
Be the glory to God, be the glory to God, be the glory for the things he has done.
He has saved me with his power. He has raised me to God, be the glory for the things he has done.
Just let me live my life for you, let it be pleasing, or to do, and should I gain any praise,
let it go to count my reign.
This is blood that he has saved me with his power. He has raised me to God, be the glory for the things he has saved me,
all the things he has done. Just let me live my life for you, let it be pleasing, or to be,
and should I gain any praise, let it go to count our reign.
Let this love be his name with his power. He has raised me to God, be the glory for the things he has done.
God be the glory for the things he has done.
He has done.
Praise the Lord. Yes, amen to God be the glory for all the things he has done. Look at his accomplishments,
how anybody could be an atheist, and look at the heavens and see how the actual mechanism of God,
everything, how he has created everything, all the stars, the sun, the moon, the galaxies, and then
little flowers, and all the different many colors, and bees, and the way that the fruit trees won't
even operate correctly unless there's bees, all of nature is put together. It's an entire subject of
its own, the nature that God has created. Well, anyway, we're back in the third chapter of Revelation,
where it verse four. Now, he's rebuking the churches, and he's saying thou has a few names,
even in Sardis. Some of these people are already dead. They've died along the way. They've backslidden.
Their names now are blotted out of the lambspoke of life. Then there's some of them that he says
repent. There's still a chance for you if you'll get right with the Lord. Her adventure, the Lord
will definitely, he stated, he promised that he will give you an opportunity to repent and start
doing the first works. Then he goes on to say, thou has a few names, even in Sardis, which if not
defiled, they are garments. In other words, they're perfect. If they have not defiled, they're garments.
God knows what's up your sleeve. Jesus knows everything that's in your mind, in your heart,
the things that you're planning to do. Every day we make little plans. Oh boy, we get to go
somewhere and maybe we'll be able to find some new romance. We're getting a little bit over the
hill. Maybe we need to know that we're still attractive to the opposite sex. And so we dress up in,
you know, the women's ladies put on lots of perfume, put a flower in their hair and dress up real nice.
And then their eyes, they start playing eyes with different people. And then when they see them
respond, because it's very flattering to see somebody of the opposite sex, smiling at them.
And they're leading them on is what it is. And therefore their garments are defiled. In other
words, they are making it to where they themselves are setting their own selves up to not be able to
hear it to kingdom of God. And there's so many other things that they do. They plan to cheat people
out of their monies, like all these different banks today. They have given people loans that
they knew they wouldn't be able to pay. And therefore they haven't paid them and the economy has gone
down the tubes. And there are runs on different banks now and banks are starting to close up.
And different other agencies are moving in now to try to stop or run on all the banks to where
there's going to be a depression like in the 3334 somewhere there. I'm not keeping up with those
things. However, I remember the times of the depression and it's turning that way now. And
it's a set up. This is all being controlled by the Vatican. Well, you say, come on, everything
couldn't be of the Vatican, even though the Lord says so that she's the cause, the mother of every
abominable thing that's going on earth. I mean, people are being run by the government, the
Satanic government. And the way everything is set up is for them to take over the world. There's
dictatorship, which they call democracy. And every one of them are liars and they're just smiling and
laughing at the people, the general public of the world, the United States and the world.
Thou has a few names, even inside us, which knowing all these things have not to file their garments.
They didn't get a machine gun and go out after these people and start killing them. But they just
said, Lord, you know all the things that are going on in the world. And you never went and attacked
anybody. You didn't come against Pilate or Caesar or any of those folks. You just kept doing what
the Lord had sent you to do. And the Lord God Almighty could care of you, the Son of Man, when
you were here in this world in the flesh. So there's a few names, even inside us, which have not
defiled their garments. So that means they're perfect. And I say this to Charles Stanley and
all the false preachers today that say, Oh, no one is perfect. Well, if you're not, you're not
going to heaven. Because the Lord requires that people that enter heaven. It's an elite group of
plus people that have to be perfect to get in. And I don't want any imperfect person in heaven.
Does that mean I'm bad? No, I just don't like the imperfection of the world government. I don't
like the imperfection of people. And they do have an opportunity to be saved. They have an
opportunity to receive the power of God within them. But they don't want to. They deliberately
don't want to be perfect. And so if God doesn't have any mercy on them, He sends His people out to
witness and testify to them. And they just want to kill us and throw us in prison and for
his circuitous take his to court on false charges. So I have no sympathy for them. If God wants to
burn them, I believe that he's a righteous judge. And that's what it's supposed to be. But they
have a defiled their garments. A few of these people. And that means they're going to heaven.
And they shall walk with me, Jesus said in white, why not black like the Catholics? No, they walk
with me in white because I say God, I'm the dictator. Say they're going to walk in white,
not black or purple or pink or of Davy blue or any other color white. Because white is pure and
clean and spotless. For they are worthy to walk in white. Verse five, he that overcometh. Well,
I'm saying that anyone can overcome us. They do what I tell them. And if they do, he that overcometh
the same shall be clothed in again, white arraignment so that anyone could see that there's no spot on
it. If it was black, you know, black covers up the spots and all this kind of stuff. But it's
going to be clothes in white. Why it's a sin today to say that white is perfect and so on.
No, we're not talking about white people. The only white person I've ever seen in my life is
Michael Jackson and the Joker in a Batman. I've seen his face before. Actually, I did the Batman
jacket for Warner Brothers when I was making clothes in his face. The Joker's face had to be
white. So he and Michael Jackson. So we have to be clothed in white clothing though. And I will not
block out his name out of the book of life. Well, if you're perfect, the Lord says I will not.
This is Jesus talking. He says, if you're perfect, you'll be clothed in white and I will not block
out your name out of the book of life. Now, there's some people whose names will be blotted out of
the book of life because the book of life is people that are saved. In other words, the Lord
is saying, one saved, not always saved. If he blots your name out of the Lamb's book of life,
well, that means that you're not always saved. You're once saved and you were once in the book of
life. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to blot you out of the book of life. Amen. Okay, so use your
head. These people that say that no one can be perfect and once saved, always save. Does it say
that here? Jesus says, I will not block out his name out of the book of life. But the scriptures
would say, I will blot your name out of the Lamb's book of life. You were in there, you were alive,
but I'm going to blot you out because you're not worthy. You didn't walk according to the
things that I command you to do. But I will confess his name before my father and before his angels.
Now, do you believe that God is going to take a homosexual and confess his name before the holy
angels in his father or a foreign dictator or an adult or those people that are murdering babies?
Or do you think that the Lord is going to take the popes and the cardinals and all these phony
priests that are Catholic and that he's going to confess those people before his father and before
his angels? Do you think he will? No, because he said that these are those that keep his commandments
and the Lord says that you're not supposed to worship his, you're not supposed to pray to Mary,
you're not supposed to pray to any saint, you're not supposed to pray to anybody, but God through
Christ. And if you do, every time you do, there's a big blotch, like an ink spot going on your garments
to the point that your garments are filthy, dirty, black as midnight when the moon goes behind the
clouds. So I'm saying these things, look, I'm confessing his names, these people that are in
point before my father. What about lesbians? Oh, father, this lesbian, she's a pervert,
she's sick in her brain and she's sick in her spirit, in her soul, she's never repented,
she's never wanted the power of God, she said, I was born in lesbian, I'm always going to be a
lesbian. Now, the Lord loves the actual person, but he doesn't love that sin. Well, I think I'll
try lesbianism. I see so much of it on TV and in the papers, everybody seems to be going for it,
so I'll try that out. And so everybody's trying it out, all the females, all the females, the
males and the females. Well, no, the Lord's not going to take you before his father and before his
angels, or six. He that has an ear, now, you people that can understand the word of God,
he's not leaving you with our power, he says, do what I tell you and you have all the power
that you possibly need to get into the kingdom of heaven. But you yourself have become lazy,
lethargic, and you just love the world. You're unthankful for the word of God, you're unthankful
for the things that God has given you. You're unthankful for everything. And as a matter of fact,
you're so unthankful that a root of bitterness is growing up in you. And you actually hate the
brothers and sisters every time you disobey God's word. There's a big blotch, like one of these
paintballs that hits you and splatter your garments to where you are filthy. He that has
an ear to hear these things, let him hear what the Holy Spirit says unto the churches and the
people in the churches for seven, and to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write these things.
Say if he Christ, that is holy, and he Christ, that is true, and he Christ that hath the key of
David, and he, the Lord Jesus Christ, opens doors for people and no man can shut them. He can open
all kinds of doors for you if you're just a willing to obey him. So he can open doors for you and
no man can shut them, and he can shut doors for you and no man, no man can open them. You will not
be able to open a door for yourself, and you do it to yourself. That's what you're doing it to.
Verse eight, I know thy works. Yeah, I know what's up here. Rotten filthy sleeve, some of you people,
and these say unto these people, I know your works. So you're doing some good works. I know you're
doing good, and I know the things that you're doing that's bad. Behold, I have set before you
an open door, and no man can shut it, for thou hast a little strength. Oh, why don't you have all
the strengths of the Lord? Because the Lord says it's available, it's available. Why do you just have
a little strength? Well, I have a little strength and has kept my word and has not denied my name.
First night, behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan. There's so many people that
call themselves Christians, and they're not there, the synagogue of Satan. Verse nine, behold, I will
make them of the synagogue of Satan, the church of Satan, which say they are Jews, which means
believers in God, which means Christians, and are not, but do lie. They say they're Christians,
but they hate the brothers and sisters. They hate doing the work of God. They hate fellowship. They
love to hold up by themselves like an old witch. They say they're Christians, they say they're Jews
to be a Christian, you have to become a Jew, and are not Christians or Jews, but do lie.
Behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know, I'll make them to know that
I have loved you, thee, because you don't let people get to you, you let me get to you.
You, I tell you something and it gets to you, you do it. First thing, because thou has kept the word
of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation. We shall come upon all the world
to try them that dwell upon the earth. Well, we're living in that day right now. The
glory says he'll keep you from the hour of temptation, because thou has kept the word.
In other words, you kept doing what I said, not just because you kept reading, but you were doing
my word of my patience. You've patiently done the work on a daily basis. The first thing you thought
of is should I do a message? Lord, should I go out and do something? Should I go up to the church?
Should I go to Arkansas? Should I go to New York? Should I go to LA? Should I go to Israel? Should I
go to Africa? Should I go to India? What do you want me to do? And he says to do it, and then,
you know, something fantastic is going to happen. If the Lord tells you to do something, you do it.
There's something a big something that's going to happen because of it. A lot of people don't want
to hear this kind of talk. They want to do what they want to do, even though it's not exciting,
nothing unusual ever happens. And whatever does happen, you know, they like to go to bed with
men or women, and pretty soon that gets boring. And then all of a sudden they catch some kind of
dreaded disease or something, and then they figure it's too late for anything to happen for them.
And therefore, they're just living in a wretched world. But these people, because thou has kept the
word of my patience, you patiently did what I said day after day, and different things happen.
I make events after where it's interesting. I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation.
Well, we have television today. Now the Lord knew that back then. He did a TV and pornography,
and he knew about lesbian, innocent, and homosexuality, and how decrepit women having sex and men with
animals and with babies. He knew all these things. But the devil has such a hold on people,
and they seemingly don't know how to break that hold. All it is simply is to come to the Lord
Jesus Christ, and humble yourself before you rotten filthy human, you unthankful swine,
and accept the Holy Spirit into your body, into your eyes. It's all your mind. So that the Lord
can save you because you have kept the word. You have kept the word. You've kept Jesus.
The word of God is Jesus. That's why when you accept Jesus, the Bible says,
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. That means the entire word of God, and thou shall be saved.
And because thou has kept the word Jesus, the word of my patience, the Lord was very patient.
He endured hardship. He endured all the things. He kept all the word of God, and he
patiently went to the cross so that he could shed his blood so we could have a detergent strong enough
to take away our sins, which is his blood. And the Lord says, because you've done this, I also
will keep you from the hour of temptation. And that's where we're going to stop right now.
Praise the Lord. We are not ready to pray people to the Lord. The Lord said that if you do what he
says, and that means get saved, and begin doing the work of the Lord, and you say, well, what's the
work of the Lord? You need to read the Bible, or you need to listen to this program all the time
because I'll tell you what the work of the Lord is. He saved us to do his work in us and through us.
You'll find that out soon enough. If you just say the prayer unto him, he will not turn you away.
God will use you in such a powerful way if you'll just trust him and let him use you so that you
can walk in white raiment and be in the kingdom of heaven with him. And if some of your loved ones
have gone on before you, that you can be with them. Accept him now by saying this prayer.
Say this to him, my Lord and my God have mercy upon my soul center. I believe that Jesus Christ
is the Son of the living God. And I believe that he died on the cross and shed his precious blood
for the forgiveness of all my former filthy sins. And I believe that you, Father God,
raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. I open the door of my heart,
and I invite you into my heart, Lord Jesus, Holy Father, Holy Spirit. Wash all my former
filthy sins away in the precious blood that you shed for me, Jesus, on the cross at Calvary.
You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus. You will save my soul. I know because your words
says so. Your word says that you'll turn no one away, and that includes me. Therefore,
I know that you have heard me, and I know that you have answered me, and I know that I'm saved.
And I thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving my eternal soul.
Now just raise your hands up in praise and thank the Lord for allowing you to attach your spirit
to his eternal spirit. Now Sharon tell our listening audience how they can receive a copy
