[00:00] Speaker 1: Hello, again. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. Today, we're on part 68 of How to Have God's Life Living in You, and this is program number 170. If you'd like a copy of it, uh, please specify tape or CD at the end of the program. We'll tell you how to get it. We have a few letters here, but right now let's go to the throne of the Lord and ask Him to anoint, uh, this service. Lord God, anoint outwardly. We're already anointed inwardly and the Holy Spirit has filled me with the Holy Spirit and fire. Lord, uh, I don't know exactly when You're coming, but I know it's coming... You're coming soon. All the signs that You mentioned that would be happening in the last phases before You come back to Earth again are happening right now. And so, uh, Satan is, uh, been loosed on the face of this har- Earth and he's full of wrath because he knows that his time is short.

[01:12] Speaker 1: Um, as you well know, that we've been on this property here in Los Angeles, we've had it almost 40 years, and we've been living, uh, off and on on these little, uh, bungalows here. And now the building commissioner with a whole s- swat team came up here today and told us that we have to get permits for these, um, three bungalows. Uh, I'm sure that, uh, the Pope has ordered, uh, President, uh, Bush to order the people to begin harassing us again. But we are instructed by You to count it all joy when these things happen to us because we know that our te- faith is being tested and we know that when our faith is tested, if we trust in You, that no matter what happens, it'd be of You, even to the point of, um, whatever happens, a- we know that You're gonna be exalted because we trust in You. We're not going to, um, be shaken. I've been through so many of these scenes, uh, since I first... since You first called me into the ministry, and so this here, this isn't anything new.

[02:32] Speaker 1: But Lord, I get so weary of dealing with these, uh, dead... spiritually dead people that I just... I'm sure that I'll be so happy when I enter into the Kingdom of Heaven where none of these things will befall us again, because in the Kingdom of Heaven there isn't anything that dwelleth there but righteousness, nothing that defiles. And, uh, we know this is, uh, something that we're just being tested with, and so we just thank and praise You for it and we count it all joy, all joy. Now, Lord, we ask that You anoint, uh, this service, speak right through my mouth, and let it be the very things that You want to say in this world today through me, that people that are in the world and think that everything is so wonderful... Uh, they said to my young boy, he's almost 15 years old, the police says, "Why don't you... You're young, why don't you get out in the world?

[03:41] Speaker 1: You never get to know what the world is," and the world, oh, so if they would have said that to me I'd say, "Oh, yeah, you mean AIDS? Get out into the world to where there's AIDS and syphilis and gonorrhea and terrorism and, uh, cancer and heart failure because people don't serve you? Oh, is that what you're saying, I should go out into the world? Thanks, but no. Uh, I'm saved and I don't want any part of the world." Jesus said that He's not part of this world be- His, uh, kingdom is in heaven, and this is the answer that everybody should say to people that say, "You're young, you should be out in the world where there's syphilis, gonorrhea, AIDS, HIV, uh, ebola, uh, bird disease, um, mad cow disease, uh, hundreds of thousands of different diseases out there, leukemia, cancer, heart trouble, all these things. Yeah, you should be out in the world, right?" Well, I prefer being right here in the house of the living God, praise the Lord.

[04:53] Speaker 1: And my boy told 'em, "No, uh, I- I li- I wanna serve the Lord and that's where I'll stay. There's nothing out in the world for me." Now, Father, I pray that You'll infu- um, cause people to feel the same way by Your words that You say through me today, that, uh, the people in the world will see the light. They can't see the light. It seems as though they just love to be in darkness and love for all these evil things that are happening in the world to befall them. But Lord, open their brains, their eyes, their spiritual ears, their spiritual mind. Open it up so that they'll be able to receive the Gospel, receive salvation. And let the Church and all the people, all the brothers and sisters, be edified and receive more and more strength because we're standing... Uh, John stated in hi- the Gospel in the Book of Revelation in chapter 20 that he looked and saw a great white throne, and it's the final judgment is at hand where the small and the great will be judged....

[06:09] Speaker 1: and they will, um, uh, be cast into hell and the lake of fire and they'll be there forevermore. And it's such a dreadful thing to think of and it's so amazing that people can enjoy this present world when in the world to come they're going to be spending eternity in the lake of fire, because truly Your great judgment is coming, and because You're judging people by what they did in their flesh. And all these preachers today, Father, are saying that we're not supposed to do any works, but Your word says that we're gonna be judged by the works that we did, or by the works we didn't do, and, uh, it says that with the people that You gave talents to, some of them didn't believe that the - one of them didn't believe that they were supposed to do any work. And so You told him to depart into outer darkness, the wicked supposed-to-be servant. But the others that had much that used their life to do Your work, to allow You to represent Yourself in them, were given double what they had before.

[07:40] Speaker 1: So, the Bible plainly states all the way through it that we're judged, we're gonna be judged at the great white throne, the final judgment, those that are doomed to the lake of fire where the smoke goes up forever, we're- they're gonna be, all of us are gonna be judged by our works, the work that we did or did not do for You. Lord, I pray that You bring... That whatever You say in this service today will be that which will cause them to fear You and keep Your commandments. In other words, do the works, for this is the whole duty of man. Lord, the others are saying that there's no such thing as the law, the law of sacrifices and circumcision and ceremonies and special days, sabbath days, and all these things are over, but the moral law is still there and it never will end. Lord, cause everyone to believe this and to live upright lives in the name of Jesus, we pray, and everyone says amen.

[08:51] Speaker 2: Amen.

[08:52] Speaker 1: All right. Sally, we have some letters here, where's the first one from?

[08:56] Speaker 2: From Zambia Africa.

[08:59] Speaker 1: Okay.

[08:59] Speaker 2: "Dear World Pastor, I thank you for your promptness and courtesy in sending the Christian aid materials which I requested from your ministry. The enclosure included Bibles, T-shirts, sweatshirts, and your literature. The followers from this great and mighty work are receiving God's gift, the Holy Spirit, and are experiencing God's presence and power through your literature. The Church is also developing and growing to the maturity of Christ. Praise God for that big breakthrough. Amen. So, I do trust and pray that the materials received will help fill the gap, and it will be of great help, value, and encouragement to all who receive it and use it. At the same time, I feel that these materials will also be a help to those who already are involved in the ministry.

[09:44] Speaker 2: Again, it is my trust that people receiving the Bibles, the literature, and the Messiah books will not only find increase in understanding, but will also find a saving hope through faith in God, who is making things possible for all."

[09:57] Speaker 1: Well, they will find more understanding by reading my literature, for sure. Lo- Um, the Word of God gives us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, and so that's one thing that we pray today, that God will open their minds so that they can receive that wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Incidentally, find that scripture I was mentioning in the 20th chapter of the Book of Revelation, please. Okay, the great white throne. Okay, and then what else?

[10:23] Speaker 2: "Lastly, I am burdened to reach to people, because they have little or no knowledge of the Bible and Jesus, so they have been robbed of the greatest treasure their minds and hearts could possess. No wonder there is so much works of sin resulting into immorality."

[10:38] Speaker 1: Right, that's what the Lord is gonna judge them for is the works that they did in their body, or the works that they allowed Christ, with His Father by the Spirit to do in their body. Everyone is going to be judged by their works, the works that they did. So, you false teachers, preachers, evangelists out there, don't be saying that we don't have to do any work that Christ did at all. He did everything that, uh, we are supposed to do. He says, "Come and follow me." And so the works that He did were the works to show us what we're supposed to do. In other words, most people think that it's just going to church and clap their hands. Jesus never did that. He never went to church and clapped His hands, did He?

[11:23] Speaker 2: Mmm.

[11:26] Speaker 1: He went to church and He taught, He preached, He taught, and He went out and spent sometimes, uh, from early morning until nighttime touching and healing people and preaching to them on mountainsides and, uh, feeding thousands of people with just a handful of fish and some loaves of bread, few loaves of bread, and, uh, many other works that He did that were so much that if, um, the world would not be able to contain the books that would be written regarding it if, uh, it were all told. He raised people from the dead, He cast out devils, He rebuked and reproved the religious leaders of that day.And if you are not doing that now, you're not uncovering Satan then you're not binding Satan here on Earth so that the Lord can bind him in the kingdom of heaven and therefore you're going to be guilty at the great white throne judgment, the final judgment. And so I would suggest very strongly that you begin working, letting God do His work in and through you and stop sinning by being idle.

[12:43] Speaker 1: The Lord hates idleness. Okay, go ahead.

[12:47] Speaker 2: My team is becoming big because of the distribution of your literature, Bibles, and the Messiah books. The results are very positive. My distributors are many, so send me 50 Messiah books, 200 Bibles, music tapes, taped messages, T-shirts, and sweatshirts. They should include sizes medium, large, and extra large. I am becoming rich day by day because of your taped messages. I am making possible arrangements to advertise your work and address in our Zambia newspaper so as to reach the whole country of Zambia. God bless you and your ministry. Your brother in Christ, Lupombo from Monza, Zambia, Africa.

[13:24] Speaker 1: Yeah, now do you think that Satan, because the works that I'm allowing the Lord to do in me is just gonna sit back and say, "Oh, all right. You win, Tony." Uh, or, "You just win, we can't do anything." No, the, Satan is gonna persecute all those that live godly in Christ Jesus, that do the works. Amen?

[13:45] Speaker 2: Amen.

[13:45] Speaker 1: And if you're not being, uh, hit hard by Satan as we have for the past 41 years, well then, you know, that would scare me to death if I wasn't being persecuted. That would scare me to death if, uh, every- everybody, the whole world government, the world council of churches, and the media wasn't on me like flies on honey. That would really scare me. I don't know how anyone can live up to pi- one of these, uh, at peace with Satan. The Bible says that we are at war with Satan, and if you're not at war with him then you're not, uh, you're gonna be very sorry at the final judgment day before the great white throne. Now when the Lord says great white throne, I remember I was in, uh, I went to visit my mother, uh, I lived in Helena, Montana, Lewistown, Montana, Wyndham, Wynda, Montana, and then finally Billings. And, um, my mother's buried in Butte, Montana.

[14:54] Speaker 1: And, um, I remember, uh, that, uh, we were, uh, there and, uh, we, uh, I was telling my mother, you know, that, uh, she was just about ready to die. She was in the hospital there. And, um, I said, "Mom, you're gonna have to get right with God." And she says, "What have I done?" Very indignant like. I said, "No matter whether you did anything what you think is wrong or not, you have to be born again in the spirit." And Susie was there with me and we both were preaching. And she says, "You know, honey, I had a vision from the Lord and it was a great white throne, and I was going to judgment there and I, it was real bright and huge, it went way up into the sky." And she says, "But then all of a sudden it was like a frame, like a movie frame, then all of a sudden Jesus came in between the great white throne and said, 'Not yet, Father. She's not ready.'" And I said, "Mom, I saw Jesus too.

[16:16] Speaker 1: And he appeared right in front of me," and, um, I said, "You're not ready because you haven't been born again in the spirit." And my aunt, uh, Viola was in the hospital room as well. And, uh, so I said, "Now, do you, don't you want to," and Susie said, "Don't you want to say a prayer now and get saved?" And my mother said yes. And so we started praying with my mother and the Holy Spirit came down so strong in that room and my au- my aunt Viola was not what you'd call a ver- a godly person at all, and she felt it so strongly that she started dancing, she was raising her head and praising and thanking the Lord and spinning around because the spirit was so strong in that room. And sh- my mother was saying, "Thank you, Jesus." I didn't have to tell her to say it.

[17:14] Speaker 1: She said, "Praise you, Jesus." And she was ready to go and just a few days after that we were back in Los Angeles, we were living at Zuma Beach, that's right next to Malibu, just, um, we lived on top of the hill just off the Pacific Coast Highway, you could see 100 miles at least out into the ocean from the house we lived in there. I got it on a deal because my friend owned the house and he just wanted to get out of it and let us go in on payments. And so all of a sudden, uh, the telephones and everything were out in the whole neighborhood, I don't know what, and the fireman came up there, uh, and told me that my mother died. And I started going into the bedroom to weep because I loved my mother very much.

[18:05] Speaker 1: And all of a sudden the Lord came down real strong and he said, "She's right here with me." So she didn't have to go through the great white final judgmentShe's in heaven, and I- I just immediately I started rejoicing, and I just turned around and kept, uh, busy the rest of the day thanking and praising the Lord for keeping His promise to me that those of your household will be saved. And my brother, Danny, just went on to be with the Lord, and he was praising and thanking the Lord when he passed on as well. He passed on and went on to be with the Lord last December. December was his birthday. He just turned 70, and, um, I think he died on the 28th, something like that. His birthday was Pearl Harbor Day, December the 7th. Now, this is the great white throne of God, and if you're, uh, if you die in your sins, you're gonna stand before God, and there's, there's not gonna be any mercy for you if you haven't done any works.

[19:15] Speaker 1: The Bible tells us that we have to work, because in these scriptures it says that, uh, we're going to be judged by our works. If we have no works, then we're not going to have a favorable judgment. We're not gonna be in the kingdom of heaven. The Lord says, "Depart from me, you wicked." I, uh, in another place he says, "I never knew you." All right, so, uh, we're gonna be reading that scripture. Did you find it?

[19:45] Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.

[19:45] Speaker 1: What verse was it? Chapter 20, verse 11, all right. All right, and then, um, okay, where's the next letter from?

[19:52] Speaker 2: From Nigeria, Africa.

[19:54] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.

[19:54] Speaker 2: "Dear Sir, I am very grateful for your inspirational materials you are sending to people. They are wonderfully working for our spiritual upliftment. May the Good Lord reward you greatly in His kingdom, in Jesus's name. Please, I want you to send me five copies of the King James Holy Bible and 20 copies of your literature. Thank you so much. Yours in His vineyard, Opuali from Nigeria, Africa."

[20:19] Speaker 1: Okay, and the next one?

[20:20] Speaker 2: Is from Ghana, Africa. "Dear Pastor Tony, I am Pastor James, and I have received your Gospel literature. When I read it together with my friends, they were happy about them and said, 'This literature must be distributed for all the church members.' But there was not enough, so I could not find any way to share with them all. One of my loving friends, Isaac, who gave me your site, helped me to get some more of your literature. When I shared them, the literature did so many wonderful things. One bad boy who came from a certain town repented, and he is now at my church. I want you to send me some of your Gospel literature and three Holy Bibles so that I can share the Gospel literature with the other people, and the three Holy Bibles for the now coming people like the boy who has repented.

[21:06] Speaker 2: Long life leave you, Pastor James from Ghana, Africa."

[21:10] Speaker 1: Praise the Lord. All right, let's come over here and read that, uh, scripture. The Lord, um, put that on my heart today, and I'd like to have people hear this. Go ahead.

[21:22] Speaker 2: "And I saw a great white throne."

[21:25] Speaker 1: Uh, my, my mother saw that great white throne. And I've heard of others that saw it as well. Then what?

[21:33] Speaker 2: "And Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away."

[21:38] Speaker 1: Now, if the heaven and the earth fled away from the face of God, if you're not righteous, if you don't have, if you're not a member of God's body, the body of Christ, well, then just think how you'll flee away. Uh, it'll be like the best way the Lord casts you down into hell and into the lake of fire. His face is so terrible, to even the planets, that when He looks at 'em, they flee. Heaven, not only the plants, but heaven and earth, amen?

[22:14] Speaker 2: Amen.

[22:16] Speaker 1: Then what?

[22:17] Speaker 2: "And there was found no place for them."

[22:19] Speaker 1: There's no place for the old heaven or the old earth. Because behold, God makes all things new. He's making a new heaven and a new earth, uh, places where no sin has ever been. Now, if you'll recall, Lucifer used to be in heaven, and God doesn't want the memory of him there, so He's, um, manufacturing a new heaven. And there was, there was such corruption and sin on this earth that He's making a new earth wherein dwell, dwelleth only righteousness, only that which is right. There isn't anything that is in the world, uh, that, uh, shall, uh, dwell within it that is unrighteous. Okay, then what? No sin shall be in the new heaven or earth. Okay, go ahead.

[23:18] Speaker 2: Verse 12. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works."

[23:34] Speaker 1: According to their works, amen?

[23:37] Speaker 2: Amen.

[23:37] Speaker 1: So, these false prophets are teaching you that, "Oh, you don't have to do any work. Christ did it all." Then why is it saying here that everyone is gonna be judged by their works, amen?

[23:49] Speaker 2: Amen.

[23:50] Speaker 1: Now, the Lord says, "Come and do what I did. Come and follow me. Follow my steps. Follow what I do." But they won't, and so they, uh, if you do anything other than what the Lord tells you to do, then you're doing your own will and, rather than His will, and that is sin. If you're, only if you do what the Lord says to do is that not sin.... disobedience to the Lord is the same as witchcraft. It's the same as the sin of witchcraft. It's like King Saul. He, uh, was told, uh, to kill everything in this particular war and he didn't. He wanted to save some of the animals for burnt sacrifice. But when Samuel came to reprove him, he stated that obedience to the Lord is better than s- your sacrifices. And therefore, he took... God took him... his, uh, throne away from him and gave it to David, and Saul went to hell for disobedience. So if you don't, if you don't believe that you have to do work, as it says here in the Bible, God's Word, then you're going to be in the lake of fire.

[25:22] Speaker 1: And the same scripture will tell you that that's where you'll be. Now, continue on with that scripture.

[25:29] Speaker 3: Verse 13, "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them." And-

[25:37] Speaker 1: And so death and hell. Those that had died that were not born again in the Spirit, and those that were in hell, he delivered them up for the final judgment before the great white throne. Okay, then what?

[25:56] Speaker 3: "And they were judged, every man according to their works."

[25:59] Speaker 1: Their works. Amen?

[26:01] Speaker 3: Amen.

[26:02] Speaker 1: They're judged according to what they did in this human body. Now, the human body, Jesus died on the cross that all of us could be saved if we chose to be saved, if we chose to be obedient and do His work here on Earth. But if we decide, "No, uh, Lord, we're not gonna do your work. We're, uh, you know, we're young and there's, uh, a life out there in the world." Like this police officer told my son today, he says, "Man, you're, uh, young. You're just 15 years old. You need to go out and see what the world is all about.

[26:44] Speaker 1: There's just a lot of world to see, and things out in the world." The Lord said, "Love not the world, because all that is in the world is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life." And if people love the world, then you're disobedient to the Lord, because to mean all this in the world, just the lu- lust of the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life, and then all the disease and all the damnation that's happening to the people in the world because of their disobedience to the Lord. The Lord stated that He's, uh, pouring out His wrath on the Earth right now. We're entering in... We're in tribulations right now, and soon the Great Tribulations are going to happen. And immediately after the Great Tribulations, the Lord is coming back to Earth again. Now, you'll hear these false teachers and preachers sa- and, uh, say that w- we're gonna be raptured before the tribulation period.

[27:51] Speaker 1: The reason that they're saying that, Satan through them is saying that, is because they don't want you to be, uh, ready to, uh, endure the tribulations. Uh, you people that love those false teachings are people that love to live in comfort and you don't, uh, believe the Lord when He said, "I want you to deny yourself and I want you to take up the cross and follow me." Now, what kind of a god is it that would tell people to take up the most excruciating punishment that has ever been devised on the face of this Earth, and that is to hang on a cross or to carry a cross? Because He says, "I did it and I want you to do it, because if you don't, you're not gonna be able to make it through the tribulations. You're not gonna be able to make it through your life and make it into heaven, because this is the first thing that I tell you to do. If any man will follow me, then let him deny himself." In other words, die out to this world. We have to get our salvation at the cross.

[29:00] Speaker 1: We have to leave our lives there, our former life, and we have to leave our former sins there and go and sin no more, He said. Then we have to deny ourselves the rest of our lives because we have to choose to live a life of self-denial on this side of eternity so that we can have everything throughout eternity, or else we have to choose to take whatever we can in this life and then have nothing but misery throughout eternity. And re- eternity's forever. Amen?

[29:31] Speaker 3: Amen.

[29:32] Speaker 1: The Bible says that it n- it never ends. It's like perpess- more, more, uh, magnified than perpetual motion. It just keeps going and the more you scream just when you think that it's the hottest and the most excruciating pain, it gets worse. And you try to just, "Please, for God's sake, stop this." And it, then it gets worse again. And then it gets to the point of where it's beyond anybody's imagination as to how evil, uh, uh, how horrible it could be. You say, "Well, how could a good god do that?" Because the good God said He would and He can't lie. The Bible says, uh, "The Lord cannot lie." Amen?

[30:20] Speaker 3: Amen.

[30:20] Speaker 1: Know this, that God cannot lie.And that's why it happens. And He doesn't care if you think that's bad or not because He's the... He... This is a theocracy, not a democracy, uh, not a republican, republican, uh, uh, nation. Uh, the whole universe is a theocracy, a God-ocracy. Theo is God, -ocracy. He's a dictator. And whatever He says goes, whether you like it or not. Amen?

[30:50] Speaker 3: Amen.

[30:51] Speaker 1: And so you can have... He says, "If you do..." What he says, "You are my friend if you do everything I say." "Well, what kind of a... You know, we're not used to... We got our credit cards now. We can do whatever..." Sure, you can. He gives you a will to be able to do that. But he says, "Know this, that there's a reward, that you're gonna have to pay for it." There's a time that you have to, um, stand before the great white throne and you're gonna be judged for the works that you did for the Lord, or what you just did yourself, yourself, for you people down South. Now, the Bible says, "Cease ye from man, in whose nose is one breath," for how little are you human beings out there to be accounted of. The Lord, you have to be in the Lord to get in Heaven. The only one that's gonna be in Heaven is the Lord. And if you are in His body, then you can be in Heaven too, because there's only... God is gonna be there and His people that are in Him.

[32:06] Speaker 1: And He is going to puke out or spit out everybody that doesn't... uh, that causes Him irritation. And He says, "Do my works. Not only do it, but don't do it grudgingly, because if you do it grudgingly, that's against the commandment too." He says, "Do it with zeal or I'll spit you out of my mouth." And now, that's the kind of God we got, okay? "You're not patriotic to the kingdom of God, but we're patriotic to America." America is possessed with the devil right now, friend. The whole world is in sin. So you're gonna be patriotic to Him? Uh, I'm patriotic to God and like, I'm not just for the United States of America, but I'm for winning the souls of everybody in the world if possible. We know that that's not possible, but I'm gonna do everything that the Lord does in and through me, uh, the best of my power to, uh, get the job done for the Lord. I know that I have to work because the Bible says I'm gonna be judged by the things... by, by works. Amen?

[33:15] Speaker 3: Amen.

[33:16] Speaker 1: And like, it says it so plain here and it says it throughout the whole Bible. There's three guys. One was given 10 talents, another one five, the other one of one talent, and one hid his in the dirt. In other words, God gives you the knowledge of salvation, and you and I and everybody's made out of dirt. And so you just hid it within yourself. You never told people about salvation. And so you hid it inside your dirt-bag body. "Well, you're so fancy. Don't you know, uh, Mr. Alemo, that we're multimillionaires and some of us that are listening to you are billionaires?" Listen, you, it doesn't make any difference how much money you've got, you're going to die, okay? And you're gonna come, uh, very quick to the knowledge of the great white throne. You're gonna be standing there and you're gonna start shaking. I don't think you're gonna be shaking your fists at God in His face. You're gonna be trembling.

[34:18] Speaker 1: And if you were still in your human body, you'd be having a bowel movement real fast, okay? Because I came to grips with the Lord one time in a office, a business office in Beverly Hills, and I thought I was the biggest, most powerful person on the face of this earth. And to me, you were nothing, because to me, human beings were stupid. Even I met many billionaires that I didn't think had much brains because they get all puffed up. I have never, as far as I ever knew, was puffed up at what I knew. I just knew I knew it, and I knew I knew what to do. But when the Lord came down upon me, I started screaming inside. I says, "Lord, don't kill me. Don't kill me because I... And don't send me to hell or the lake of fire," because I knew it w- existed. And until then, I was really, you know, big time Charlie, Chuck Spud, Charlie's potato, and I don't care how big and bad you think you are.

[35:24] Speaker 1: I figured everybody in the world needs me because everybody has products and I'm the best promoter in the world and I can make anything happen. And promotion, so anyone that really wants to get their product advertised or anyone that wants to be a big superstar or something, they have to... If they... They have to really come to me. Well, they can go to those other stars, yeah, but it wouldn't be as big as what I did, what I could do. But then the Lord just got me at that particular time, uh, when we were just... I was just, uh, number one in the whole industry and I had different stars that I was promoting. Even the whole Democratic Party wanted me to do their promotion for him, President Johnson and the whole gang. Walter Winchell, who used to be with Kennedy, Ted Schirack, um-... the mayor of Los Angeles came to me and the whole Democratic Party had to go downtown and meet with him. And they said, "We want you to do the promotion for us." "For what?" I said...

[36:36] Speaker 1: They said, "The President of the United States." I said, "Well, I don't know which one is top, the best, and so therefore, uh, I don't, uh... I, I feel, you know, if there is a God, well then I wouldn't wanna go down on record for putting the person in office that would press the button and blow this whole world up." I, you know, if there's a God, there's a hell. And I know, now I know there's a God because of the time that He visited me in the office and He showed me so many signs and wonders and visions and dreams that all came true. All of them came true. They came to pass. And so therefore, there's no one that can shake me, uh, of my faith. And I know that if I didn't do the work of God, that I'd be go, sailing down into hell, uh, in like, in the flash of a second. Yeah, like a spark. I've seen it, you know, sparks fly upwards and they fly downwards. That's human souls are sparks. You're... That's all you are. I don't care how many billions you have, you're a spark.

[37:45] Speaker 1: And if you're not born again of the Spirit, you're going down. Okay, so read the rest of this, uh, mes- uh, this, uh, ver- scripture here.

[37:55] Speaker 3: In verse 14, "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire."

[37:59] Speaker 1: Into the lake of fire. Okay, so death and hell c- or the people in there c- went up to be finally judged once and for all and then they were cast down immediately into the lake of fire. So eventually, death and hell should be cast into the lake of fire. So hell is not the final place. The lake of fire is. All right. Then what?

[38:24] Speaker 3: This is the second death.

[38:26] Speaker 1: Sure. They were... They died once and then they went up for final judgment and they got flung down the second death. That's it. They're over with. No more judgment. It's final judgment. Okay. Then what?

[38:37] Speaker 3: Verse 15, "And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."

[38:44] Speaker 1: So a lot of people say it was just Satan and his angels. Whosoever followed doesn't do the work of God, okay? 'Cause, uh, you're judged by your works and if you didn't do your work, the works of God, you're in hell. Okay. Now, let's start out with part 68 of How To Have God's Life Living In You. Okay, go ahead.

[39:09] Speaker 3: "The world that was before was a created world."

[39:12] Speaker 1: Right. The world that was before. What does that mean? The world that was before the flood, before the world was destroyed. It was created by God. But the world after that, it was already created, but there's a... Flood subsided, there was a rainbow. God promised not to destroy the whole world again by a flo- flood. Didn't say that some of the world would be destroyed, but the whole world, the world in a... as a whole would not be destroyed by water, but that it would be destroyed by fire. Amen?

[39:48] Speaker 3: Amen.

[39:49] Speaker 1: He wouldn't do it again. So people can breathe easy, you know, when they see clouds up in the sky. Otherwise, everybody would have been terrified, so God put a rainbow in the sky, uh, as a promise to signi- uh, signifying that I'm not gonna flood all of you again. Now, of course, I'm gonna nail, uh, New Orleans, but not the whole world, you know. And Indonesia, I'm gonna get them too, because, uh, they are Muslims, Catholics, different Catholic, uh... Like, New Orleans is all Catholic, because the Lord does not love people worshiping Mary or saying that Mary was the mother of God. She bore Jesus, a man. Uh, that man had Jesus in... uh, the, uh, the Father in him, the Spirit in him, so it was a man. And the Bible says that God would come into the world as a M-A-N, not a G-O-D. So Mary gave birth to a man who had the Spirit of God in him. Elizabeth had John the Baptist in her, and the spirit of Elijah sent from God was in, um, John the Baptist, but she didn't give birth to God either.

[41:14] Speaker 1: And when the Spirit of God enters into us, my mother, uh, one of the congregation said, "Well, your mother, she bore you and you have the Spirit of God in you." And that doesn't mean that she gave birth to God. She gave birth to me, a man. And then later on, in my life, I received the Spirit of God in me at age 30. So, uh, you know, these... you Catholics are praying, "Holy Mary, Mother of God." No wonder people say you're heretics. She never was the Mother of God. God has no mother. God has no mother, no father. He has no beginning and no ending. God always was. Amen?

[42:01] Speaker 3: Amen.

[42:02] Speaker 1: So you're heretics for saying that. Stop saying that prayer, because don't you know that that infuriates God? You don't know that? Well, now you know it. Don't say you never heard it when you stand before the great white throne. Okay, then what?

[42:20] Speaker 3: The world that was before was a created world. God created it, and it was a corrupt world, a condemned world.The present world is a scoffing world also, a sinning world, just as they were, and a world that has been condemned. The Lord has sentenced it to burn. Now, there's a prospective world, too. What about it? And when I say there's a prospective world-

[42:45] Speaker 1: What is a prospective world? Do you know what that is? You don't know? Well, listen on. Okay, then what?

[42:53] Speaker 3: When I say there's a prospective world, that means that there's a world to come, a future world.

[42:58] Speaker 1: Right. A prospective world is Heaven. Amen?

[43:02] Speaker 3: Amen.

[43:02] Speaker 1: Now you know. Okay, then what?

[43:05] Speaker 3: The past world was to be destroyed by water. The present world is to be destroyed by fire. But the prospective world, the new world, the future world, is designed to continue on forever.

[43:18] Speaker 1: And then there's, uh, the netherworld, which is hell, uh, the lake of fire. That goes on forever also. The netherworld. That's where people go that decided not to do work, because they just said, "Jesus did it all, and there's no more law." But the Lord said, "I didn't come to destroy the law." He means the moral law. And most of the law in the Bible is the law of sacrifices, the law of one thing after the other, the law of circumcision, all kinds of different laws. Um, there's even the law of food. Now, you could eat a bunch of, uh, pork and stuff and still you won't go to hell, but you'll die young for sure, because that's not food. Those are scavengers, vacuum cleaners, to clean up the Earth. Would you order a vulture sandwich or an eagle sandwich, or a crawdad, crawdad s- I know some of you order crawdad sandwiches and pork loins and bacon and all that. You're just killing yourself.

[44:28] Speaker 1: And, you know, because the fact that it's the wisdom and knowledge of God to eat right, and to eat food, not scavengers, which was never meant to be food. But those laws are done away with, but not the moral law. You must love the Lord thy God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and have no other gods before you. You must not commit adultery. You must not, uh, commit murder. Murder is plotting to kill somebody. It doesn't say, "Thou shall not kill." But it does say, "Thou shall not commit murder," the original writings. Okay, and then you're not to steal, you're not to lie, and, uh, covet anything of your neighbor's, that you're supposed to b- live after the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, and which, uh, includes keeping the moral law. The Lord never came to destroy the moral law. He came to show everybody that he kept it. And I could go on for hours with that, but keep going.

[45:41] Speaker 3: The prospective world is a glorious world. I'd like to show you. Now, we go to verse 13 of 2 Peter chapter 3. It says, quote, "Nevertheless, we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth only righteousness."

[45:58] Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a new heaven, a new earth. This earth is gonna be new again. It's, uh, waxed old. The new heaven and the new earth will be eternally righteous. You won't have people coming and persecuting you. You will not have your faith tested anymore, because you'll be in that new heaven and the new earth, and only righteousness dwells there. There won't be anybody telling you, uh, that you can't, uh, live in your house, or that you have to pay taxes and things like that. Or, or that you, uh, there, there's nobody going to be telling you, bringing false accusations against you and sending you out- you off to prison, uh, on false charges anymore. There won't be any of that. No, uh, you won't have to work, uh, at any jobs, two or three jobs, so that you can support these people that are antichrists, giving them horrible, uh, big salaries and financing huge wars that they started.

[47:10] Speaker 1: Why should we pay for wars that the Pope has started and is using our US troops, our manpower, and our money to finance? Is that righteousness? We'll see in the world to come, there'll be noth- that- there won't be any of that. There won't be any ignorant puppets of the Pope that do his bidding and kill millions of people, because there, there will be no death. And there'll be no old people there. We'll all be young and gorgeous like we were when we were young. Gorgeous. Mm. Some people don't care, because they think they're already gorgeous. Okay, then what?

[48:09] Speaker 3: So, all of you people in churches throughout the world, don't you really like Chri- Christopher Columbus? I like to be just like Christopher Columbus.

[48:17] Speaker 1: That believes the Bible. He believed that the world was round, and so he took off, and so he wasn't afraid that he was gonna fall off, fall off the edge. Okay, then what?

[48:27] Speaker 3: He knew that there was another world. He knew that the world was round because of his faith in the word of God.God promised that the world was round and Christopher Columbus believed it. And I know beyond any shadow of all doubt, there is another world, a world to come.

[48:42] Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know now because of Christopher Columbus that the world is round. Do you believe that the world is round?

[48:48] Speaker 3: Yes.

[48:49] Speaker 1: Everybody in the room is shaking their heads and, "Yup. Yup." Okay. But you're gonna know also that the kingdom of heaven is there, and you'll say, when you're sitting there and we'll say, "Do you know that there's really a kingdom in heaven?" And you'll go, "Yum. Yum." Hallelujah. Amen?

[49:09] Speaker 4: Amen.

[49:10] Speaker 1: Okay, then what?

[49:11] Speaker 3: Because of the Lord God Almighty-

[49:13] Speaker 1: And if you're in hell, you're gonna know that there was... there definitely is a lake of fire. Amen?

[49:17] Speaker 3: Amen.

[49:19] Speaker 1: 'Cause you'd be screaming your head off and you don't want to get out, but there's no exit doors or exit signs. The building commissioner isn't there to make you put an exit sign up 'cause there is no exit. Then what?

[49:34] Speaker 3: Because of the Lord God Almighty, I know that there is another world and I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to this new world because the word of God, the Bible, says that it won't come according to anyone's speculation, but the new world, the kingdom of heaven, is going to come and that's because it has been promised to us by God.

[49:54] Speaker 1: Just like God promised that the world was round. Okay, then what?

[49:59] Speaker 3: And we all know if you look in the Bible that all of His promises have all come true. God has never and He never will break a promise. God's promises are true and the word of God is true.

[50:11] Speaker 1: Yeah, this Da Vinci Code, I mean, they, they say that it's gonna be the big movie and everything, it's a fiction book. And even the man that wrote it said it's fictitional. It's just a bunch of fiction. They're saying that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and that they had a girl baby, and, uh, so on and so forth. It's just... it's all made up. But the Bible is not made up, it's the word of God, it's the truth. And so I don't know why, uh, they're... they sold already 40 million of those books, 14 million of The Da Vinci Code, it's because people live in a dream world. They love to watch animated cartoons and they love to read fiction, and they hate the truth, because the truth tells them that they have to cru- be crucified, and deny themselves and take up the cross and follow the Lord. That isn't, uh, pleasant to anybody. It wasn't pleasant to the Lord. He despised the shame of the cross.

[51:17] Speaker 1: A lot of people, you know, you always see Jesus with a loincloth on, on stuff, but he was bare, naked when they hung him. It was the shame. He was ashamed. He hated the shame of the cross and, uh, we hate it too. But, uh, I would hate more to go into the lake of fire so I'd do it. I do. And it was a shame to be carted off to jail on many times for passing out, uh, distributing the gospel literature and for preaching the gospel and pulling the lid off of the government. All these things, you know, it was a shame they cu- handcuffed me and called me a cult leader and everything. Says, uh, "I'm a Catholic," they'd say, "and are you a cult?" And I tell 'em, "No, you're the world's biggest cult. And on top of that, you're ignorant, because you don't know that you're in the world's biggest cult, a murdering cult, a cult that prays to Mary, and says that she gave birth to God. You're a cult. You're in a cult." You know, uh, you know the word cult, uh, um...

[52:36] Speaker 1: They've g- called un- uh, our Lord and Savior, God Almighty, a cult. But they're dead people, and that's why Jesus said, "Forgive them for they don't know what they're doing." And that's why we preach the gospel to you real cultists out there, the ones of you that are part of the Grateful Dead. You're so dead you don't even know it. The Bible says that if you're lost you're dead in your sins and trespasses, and the Bible says the dead don't know anything, so you people don't know anything about the spiritual realm. And in order for you to be saved, you must be united with the Lord in the spiritual realm, you have to be born of water and spirit. You've been born of water, but now you must be born of spirit, born again of the Spirit in order to enter into the kingdom of God. And if you're not, you're gonna be in the lake of fire. So, you know, I see my time is up and so here's an opportunity. You won't be... Don't say to anyone that you never had an opportunity to be saved.

[53:39] Speaker 1: You can say this prayer to the Lord and be born again of the Spirit. And as I said, my time is over now right now, only got a few seconds left so say the prayer now before it's too late. You don't know that you'll live another day. Say to the Lord, "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 my sins, and I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. I open the door of my heart and I invite you into my heart, Lord Jesus. Wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that you shed for me. You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus, you will save my soul. I know because your word says so. Your word says you'll turn no one away, and that includes me. Therefore, I know you've heard me."And I know you've answered me.

[54:35] Speaker 1: You said, "All that call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved," and therefore I know I'm saved, and I thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul. Now, just raise your hands up in praise and thank the Lord, because you're now a spiritual being as well. Your spirit has been resurrected from the dead, if you've said that prayer, and now it's up to you, because you have a free will to begin doing the works of the Lord, or begin just doing your own thing again. Now, the Bible says what'll happen to those that are being t- Everyone's gonna be judged by the work they do, and the work that you do L- for yourself is not commendable at the great white throne. So just begin doing everything that the Lord tells you to do, and you need a teacher, and a preacher, a pastor, evangelist, and prophets. Bible says so. And so if you'd like to join our church, you're welcome. If you can't get here, well then listen to the tapes, read our website.
