Walking With God Without Compromise: Faith, Persecution, and the Call to Stand Firm

Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, Host / Preacher
Basis: The program opens with “Hello again, this is World Pastor Tony Alamo.” He introduces program 252, comments on listener letters and current events, plays a song he says he recorded, interjects throughout the reading of Susie Alamo’s older message, leads the closing salvation prayer, and signs off.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, Assistant Reader
Basis: Tony addresses “Sharon” by name near the end and asks her to provide the four ways listeners can obtain the program. The same second voice reads listener letters, scripture passages, and the text Tony identifies as a message preached by his late wife, Susie Alamo.

Susie Alamo – Quoted / Read Sermon Source, Not a Separate Recorded Speaker
Basis: Tony explicitly says the central message was preached by Susie Alamo roughly 30 years earlier and asks Sharon to read it. Because the supplied transcript represents Sharon reading Susie’s words rather than a separate recording of Susie’s voice, Susie is identified as the source of the quoted sermon rather than assigned a separate speaker number.

.............................

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Hello again. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. We’re in Part 150 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, and this will be program number 252.

If you’d like a copy of it, please write down whether you want a CD or an audiotape copy. Either one is absolutely free of charge, and even the postage and handling will be taken care of by us.

The reason I do that is because I received salvation from the Lord free of charge. He didn’t charge me one penny to be saved, and I thank Him. Praise the Lord for that.

Today I’m going to have them read a message that my late wife, Susie, preached around 30 years ago. You’ll see how aware she was at the time and the things that were going on in the world then, and you’ll see that, in my view, it absolutely applies today.

To me, she was the best preacher on the face of this Earth. There isn’t a man alive or a woman who could even touch her. You don’t hear huffing, puffing, and screaming, but you’re going to hear some wisdom, knowledge, and understanding that you haven’t heard in your life unless you saw Susie Alamo preaching on TV or heard her on radio.

We have a couple of letters also.

The newspapers today are stating that they want to do a tribute to Susie Alamo. One of them is in [Arkansas city unclear; transcribed as “Portsmouth”], the Southwest Times Record.

What they usually do is want us to send in a message or something about her that they can put in a tribute.

But really, before Susie passed away, they used to malign her. They used to attack her just as hard as they are attacking me today. We really were attacked. [A short phrase describing how the press characterized Susie is unclear.]

She preached the gospel. She didn’t compromise with the Vatican, the Catholics, or anyone. She just preached it like it was from the Bible.

I have a more antagonistic way of bringing the messages from the Word of God. I tell it like it is, and I say it in a manner that a lot of people don’t appreciate. They didn’t appreciate it when Susie would bring these messages either.

But now, after she’s dead, they want to bring tribute to her, and then they want to tell you that after Susie died, Tony went astray.

They’ve done this several times—many times—since she’s been dead.

They are blaming me for talking about the Vatican. But you’re going to hear her talking about that in this message. She’s the one who told me about all these things and showed them to me in the Bible.

So if you’re going to do a tribute on Susie just to say that after she left, the whole thing changed around, it hasn’t changed at all.

I preach the same message she did. Both of us preached the same message Jesus did.

Right now, let’s go to the throne of the Lord and ask the Lord to anoint this service.

Father, we ask that You anoint every word that has already been anointed by You through Susie preaching it, and that You open the ears and the spirits of the people out in radio land so they will receive the message that You gave Susie and open their hearts and receive You as their personal Savior.

You know, if we don’t ask for people out there, we’re not going to receive. You said, “Ask, and ye shall receive.”

We ask that millions of souls, or however many, or billions even—however many want to be saved through this message—will be saved.

And Lord, strengthen the church.

Let those who are compromising out there in radio land, who are hearing this message and receiving the tract and the piece of literature we’re putting out on it, receive it into their hearts.

This is the message You gave her: to be saved, and that the church will come back and be unified with You.

There’s only one body, and we must be in Your body in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. We cannot compromise.

No one says it better than Susie.

Right now, Father, we ask it in Jesus’ name, and everyone says amen.

Amen.

I recorded a message in song called “I’ll Walk with God,” and here it is now.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo, singing: “This is my prayer. I humbly pray... I’ll walk with God. I’ll take His hand. I’ll walk with God. He’ll understand. I’ll pray to Him each day, and He’ll hear the words that I say... I’ll never walk alone while I walk with God.” [Several intervening sung words are too garbled in the supplied transcript to reconstruct reliably.]

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: You know what walking with God means?

That means you read the Bible, and God is the Word. So if you walk with God, you’re walking with the Word of God in you. And you’re not only walking with the Word of God, but you’re doing what the Word of God says for us to do.

So many people are just hearers of the Word, the Bible says, but they’re not doers.

There’s no way that we can get into the Kingdom of Heaven by just sitting around and hearing the Word of God without doing it.

The Apostle James stated that faith without works is dead.

In other words, if your faith is dead because you have no works, then you will not be able to make it into the Kingdom of Heaven.

We have a couple of letters here. Where’s the first one from?

Speaker 2 – Sharon: California.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: What part of California?

Speaker 2 – Sharon: San Diego.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Okay. California is a big place. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon: “Tony Alamo, your radio ministry is as pure as they come. Keep up the good work.

“Michael from San Diego, California.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Well, we’ve been keeping it up for 42 years, and Susie was keeping it up 25 years before I ever got saved. That’s many decades of the gospel coming straight, and we’re going to keep it up.

We’re not going to give up here at the last moment of time.

What’s the next letter?

Speaker 2 – Sharon: From Chesapeake, Virginia.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Chesapeake. Okay.

Speaker 2 – Sharon: “Dear Tony Alamo,

“Back in the late 1980s, my first husband and I had the honor of feeling the Holy Spirit through a van full of people you sent our way.

“You sent us lots of inspirational cassette tapes that changed our lives. Thank you.

“I gave him a bus ticket to go to Arkansas because he was going to devote his time to helping people like you do.

“The day he got there, he had to stay at a Salvation Army because the night before, the FBI had confiscated all your buildings.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Confiscated? No.

The FBI and the Federal Government—what I call the beast, the Roman Empire’s government and media—they stole our property. They didn’t confiscate it. They stole it. Amen.

Speaker 2 – Sharon: Amen.

“He hitchhiked home. You also sent us a copy of the manuscript of the court proceedings.

“I am so glad the government didn’t stop your great and powerful work for our Lord.

“Blessed be. Praise God.

“Lenora [spelling should be verified], Chesapeake, Virginia.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Yeah.

Well, it wasn’t only the government—the one-world government.

I tell you what: it was the one-world church, and I say the Bible calls it the whore. It’s sitting on the back of the beast, which is the government, and leads it like you would lead a horse.

Then the media propagandizes everybody into believing what the government is doing and what I call the one-world cult whose seat is in Rome is doing.

I say the Bible teaches that this cult, its government—the beast—and the media are powered by the spirit of that Great Red Dragon, the Devil.

And it states, in my interpretation, that Satan’s seat is in Rome, the city of seven hills.

All right.

Now, as I promised you, there’s a message from my late wife, Susie, that we’re going to read right now.

You’d do very well to listen to everything she says because, as I teach it, where your soul spends eternity depends upon it.

Okay, go ahead and read it, please.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie Alamo’s message: “When you hear the words of Christ...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Okay.

When you hear the words of Christ, how important do the people of the world make the words of Christ today?

They’re just hearing them.

A lot of people say, “Well, I heard it.”

But the Bible’s meaning of hearing is when you receive it into your heart.

So when you receive the words of Christ into your heart, a person who has spiritual ears hears what the Spirit says, what the Holy Spirit says unto the real churches, the Church of God.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “When you hear the words of Christ, beware when men speak well of you. And you see what people—what the world—looks at as giants in the ministry today...”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Okay. Beware when people what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon: “When men speak well of you.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Well, men don’t really speak that well of this church because the Lord said that if we’re preaching a true gospel, the world will not speak well of us any more than they did Jesus.

We still have a lot of followers, but not in comparison to those who don’t hear the Word of God.

Repeat it again.

Speaker 2 – Sharon: “When you hear the words of Christ, beware when men speak well of you.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Yeah, watch out.

I get really frightened if people start flattering me. I do. I get really upset.

I say, “God, am I doing something wrong? What are they doing here?”

So you will not hear the media speaking well of me. Nor, when Susie was alive, did you hear them speak well of her.

I’ve never seen such hatred in my life against two people as I did against Susie and myself, and all we were doing was preaching—and still are preaching—what we believe is the true gospel.

And the rest of the world is what Susie says here.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “You look in the background of some of these men, and you’ll see that many years ago they became affiliated with the United Council of Churches.

“The doctrine of Catholicism and the doctrine of Christianity are as far as the east is from the west.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Now, what they are saying now—and ever since Susie died—is that she never came against Catholicism. She never came against any religion. She was sweet. She was nice.

Yes, she was. She was the best thing that you ever heard in your life.

The people who are leading your souls into Hell are not nice and sweet, in my view. They hate your soul. They’re blind leaders leading the blind.

Okay, continue on.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “There’s no comparison between the theology of the two. There never has been, nor ever will be.

“Yet Catholicism sits at the top of the ladder in the United Council of Churches, the one-world church, and it keeps pulling in one denomination after another as they join forces with it.

“How can we say that we are a Christian nation?

“How can we say that we believe the Bible is the infallible Word of the Almighty God?

“How can we say that we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, that He was begotten by the Holy Spirit, that He was born of a virgin, that He died on the cross for our sins, that He rose from the dead, that He ascended into the heavens, and then join forces with Catholicism—a church that calls its priests ‘Father’ and a church that worships everyone other than Christ and God through Christ?

“This Bible says, ‘Call no man Father but your Father in Heaven.’

“This Bible says there’s one mediator to the throne of God, and that is the man Christ Jesus.

“Catholicism says there are all kinds of intercessors. Just pick the one you like the best. You like Mary, Joseph, whoever—just pick yourself a saint and send your messages right up.

“We call ourselves a Christian nation, and yet one by one by one they merge into one body, just as the Bible said, into a one-world church.

“Be careful of any church that calls itself united.

“There has never been a time upon the face of this Earth that the gospel of Jesus Christ has ever been united with anything, and it never, ever will be.

“If you stand upon the Word of God today and preach it as it is, you’re a freak, you’re dangerous, you’re a cult.

“If you dare to defy organized religion, you’re in for the hassle of a lifetime.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Right.

And this got to the point where even President Clinton, when he was president, when he ordered the burning of the Waco church, stated something to the effect of, “That’ll teach people to believe in cults—to join cults.” [Exact wording is unclear in the transcript.]

In other words, I say he came out of a position where anyone other than Catholic was considered a cult and could be burned down.

This is what I call the theology of the Catholic cult.

There are a lot of people in the Catholic Church whom we love; otherwise, we wouldn’t be preaching the gospel to them.

We love you, and that’s why we’re telling you to get out of that theology, because the Lord says, “Come out from among her,” so that you’re not going to partake in her plagues.

I say the Lord is going to plague that cult like you don’t believe.

And the Lord says that if you’re with Him, rather than the world religion, you’re going to be safe. You’ll lie down by still waters. You’ll have peace because you’ll know that the Lord is talking to you, and you’ll know you’re in the right place when all Heaven is being unleashed on this Earth by the wrath of God.

The government says that there’s a separation between church and state. If there’s a separation between church and state, then stay out of our church.

Quit burning our churches. Quit killing our people.

What do government people know about the Bible?

I have stated many times that I will debate the Pope, or any rabbi, or anybody they put on radio with me.

I have debated priests, cardinals, and rabbis, and they refuse to debate with me anymore because people say that I make them look like fools because they don’t know the Bible.

Okay, let’s continue on with Susie.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “Organized religion pushes the radical to the front. You look on the television screen, and there he is, but behind the scenes is organized religion, the one-world church.

“In the ’60s, there was a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

“Oh, the Spirit of God was being poured out upon people, and people were finding the reality of God through His Son, Christ Jesus.

“They were being born again into the Kingdom of God by the thousands.

“Many Catholic people whom the Spirit of God began to deal with knelt before a living God, repented of their sins, and asked Jesus to come into their hearts.

“They were gloriously and miraculously saved, born again, filled with the Spirit of the living God.

“And what did Protestantism do to them?

“They sent them back to the Catholic cult.

“One group after another of the ‘Mr. Bigs’ did this.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Right.

You know that Baptist churches and Catholics go to Billy Graham crusades.

When they have a crusade, they go door to door and ask, “Are you Protestant or Catholic?”

What I say happens is Billy Graham’s organization will not come into your area unless Baptist and Catholic churches say they’ll bring a certain number of people to the crusade, because Billy Graham doesn’t want to go out preaching to just maybe two rows of people.

If he believes he has your vow that you’re going to bring so many people, you might have a people-pleasing church with a thousand people in it. Another people-pleasing church might have 5,000 people.

It may be somebody like Joel Osteen, whom I call a people pleaser, with maybe 20,000 people.

Then when they get enough churches whose people have pledged to come to the crusade, Billy Graham comes into town. That’s how I say it works.

I’m so glad God put Susie and myself together because she told me these things, and I found out, in my view, that it was absolutely the truth.

Then they go door to door and try to drum up others. They like to hit the churches that have lots of buses.

And when you see Billy Graham, I say you see him exalting the Pope. We have pictures, Tony says, of cardinals hanging medals around his neck and all sorts of things like this.

So I say they have compromised with the Devil.

They think it’s wise to join the Vatican, the Antichrist church, to ward off any persecution they might get if they made a stand on their own like we do.

But I’m not afraid of persecution.

We’ve put up with it for 42 years. The minute I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, I suffered persecution, which makes me very happy that I am accounted worthy to have suffered some of the things that the Lord Jesus Christ suffered.

I’ve been to prison for the gospel, just like He was, and I’ve been stoned and stomped and spit at, had guns fired at me, and been threatened by U.S. Marshals, judges, prosecuting attorneys—you name it.

And the media has smeared us, in my view, with every kind of false accusation that you can possibly imagine.

According to them, if you believed everything they said about me, you’d think I was worse than 10 or 20 Hitlers.

Okay, go ahead.

And the same thing with Susie before she died. Now they’re going to enshrine her so they can say that Susie was great and she was wonderful and she never preached anything against the Vatican.

But you can hear that she’s doing that right now, can’t you?

Speaker 2 – Sharon: Yeah.

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: So you know, in my view, that they’re liars.

I say the three frog-like spirits that come out of the dragon’s mouth involve the media, the false prophet—which I identify with the Vatican—and the government.

That’s what you’re living in now.

We’ve been trying to tell you that for a long time, and hopefully you’ll receive it for your own benefit.

I’m not getting any benefit from you people out there. I haven’t received a penny from most of you. We do have supporters. They primarily send finances in to keep us on the air and to continue on in the Lord.

Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “One group after another of the ‘Mr. Bigs’ did this, and we watched them do it—the big churches.

“They did it because they did not want to make any waves.

“They didn’t want any persecution from the Roman cult. They didn’t want that gigantic church going after them.

“They compromised.

“They sent them back into the Antichrist cult that had fallen so far from the reality of God that they were nothing but modernistic groups—those who worship that Great Red Dragon, the Devil, whose seat is in Rome—because they would not take a stand.

“Not only would they not take a stand before God, but they would fight anybody who did. They’d go after them with everything they had in their power.

“All I know is the Word of the living God, and I’ll give my life before I will ever compromise His Word.

“It means exactly what it says. There isn’t anything ever going to change it.

“And it’s going to be the most astounding thing in this world one of these days, pretty soon, to see people face a living God who have compromised and been drawn into a one-world church.

“What are they going to tell the Christ who died for them?

“They’ll say, ‘I was afraid. I was afraid to take a stand.’

“The Bible says the fearful and unbelieving shall spend eternity in the Lake of Fire.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: See, when they told me, “Aren’t you afraid?” I said, “No.”

I’m more afraid of God.

I am afraid of God because God threatened me that if I don’t get this Word out, He would kill me and send my soul to Hell.

That’s what Jesus said: don’t fear the one who can just take your life, but fear Him who can take your life and throw your soul into Hell.

The Devil can take my life. He’s taken many Christians’ lives, but he can’t send our souls to Hell.

I say the Lord says through Solomon that the sum and total of the whole matter, the whole duty of man, is to fear God and keep His commandments.

Fearing God means: do not be afraid of Satan. Do not be afraid of what I call the Antichrist system—the Vatican, the world government, and the media.

Don’t be afraid of these evil spirits, but fear Me, says the Lord.

Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “I know Jesus, in instructing the disciples, sent them out and said, ‘Now you go out and you tell these people. You tell them just like I told it to you. There’s no compromise.

“‘And if these people reject the message that you bring them, don’t stand there and say, “Well, I love you, brother. I love you, sister.”’

“Is that what He said?

“No. He never said that.

“He said, ‘Shake the dust off your feet and depart.’

“He didn’t say burn them at the stake if they don’t believe the gospel.

“God is going to do that. Vengeance belongs to God.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: So where does Clinton and what I call his wretched cult get the audacity to go and burn somebody up because they don’t want to be Catholics?

That’s why, I say, they did it.

Everybody wonders why they burned Waco—those people over there.

They’ve made up stories. They said he was committing adultery with other people’s wives. I say that’s a dirty, filthy lie.

I know people who called me after I put out the Waco Massacre piece of literature, and they said they lived there in the Waco place and said that man wasn’t anything like what the media was saying.

And we aren’t either.

Okay, keep going.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “Don’t even wish them any peace. Take your peace with you.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: In other words, the Lord says shake the dust of your sandals, or your shoes, off at them.

Don’t continue witnessing to them after they reject the message. Shake the dust off your feet and go, because we have the peace of God.

There’s no peace on Earth unless you’re born again in the Spirit.

Okay, let’s continue.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “You see, with this old Bible, you can’t make a cult religion.

“The United Council of Churches is a cult. The one-world church is a cult. The Roman Empire is a cult.

“We are born-again Christians and will stand before God unshakable, unmovable.

“I’m astounded in the Bible Belt that they don’t even recognize the gospel any longer, that they pretend to be confused—people who were raised from childhood on the Word of the living God.

“How could anyone be so coerced into believing any other gospel than the one they knew and first received?

“To the born-again Christian, the minute something hits your ears, it filters down to your heart.

“And if the Word of God is written upon the table of your heart in the blood of Jesus Christ, everything starts turning from your heart to your head and you say, ‘Wait a minute. God said. The Bible says. And that’s it.’

“It’s like a trickle-down system.

“You hear the truth from the Word of God—in other words, you read it—and your spirit receives it. In other words, hears.

“So it trickles into your heart from your hearing ears.

“And then whenever somebody preaches anything wrong or anything different from what the gospel says, immediately it rises back up out of your heart and you say, ‘No, no. That’s false.’

“And for this, we’re called haters, when in reality the Devil is the one who hates your souls and wants your spirits, souls, and entire being cast into Hell and the Lake of Fire.

“It will be, according to the Word of God, if you compromise and don’t receive the Word of God.

“If you don’t like the way I say it, then read the Bible. You have to receive it the way the Lord says it.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: He’s saying it the same way I do, the same way Susie says it here.

Okay, then go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “You’re not going to receive false doctrine.

“That’s why it’s so important for Satan to take Bibles away from the world or preach another gospel that is not a gospel at all.

“You cannot control a human being whose faith is in the Word.

“The Word is the one and only living God, and a person is born into the Kingdom of God through the blood of Jesus Christ.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Yeah.

We’re born into it. We become Kingdom people, Kingdom-of-God people.

We now are in what I call the commonwealth of the Bible, which the Lord says He’ll defend us from these people.

I don’t know if they prefer the word “rats,” or “devils” like the Lord calls them. If you’re a devil, maybe you like the word “rat” better—or “weasel.”

Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “There’s no hold upon them but He’ll answer you.

“Jesus said, the Bible says, God said: you cannot hold in confusion those whose trust and faith is in the living God.

“Oh, brothers and sisters, I stand before you today. I preach my heart out to you. I plead and I beg.

“And I say to you that you are standing right now at the door of the coming of Jesus Christ.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Right.

All the different things you see—the terrorism—the Bible says all peace shall be taken off the Earth.

So that’s where you’re at right now.

But you can feel at peace if you ask the Lord to enter into your heart, into your spirit.

Then Christ, with His Father by the Spirit, will enter into your heart and spirit, and you’ll be born again.

But you have to remember, once you accept the Lord and He enters into you, then you have to continuously increase your faith by reading the Word of God, because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word.

Everybody’s given a portion of faith. Everybody has enough faith to be able to believe and receive the gospel.

But once we receive it, we need to grow in faith until we reach the fullness of faith, which means, as I teach it, the fullness of the stature of the Lord Jesus Christ.

By increasing your faith, you’re able to say to yonder mountain, “Depart,” and it’ll go.

This is talking about different persecutions that happen to you, and you’re going to want to be hearing from the Lord.

There was persecution in Egypt. They were persecuting the Jews there, and the Lord came and began pouring out 10 different plagues on Egypt. He turned the place upside down.

But He told the Jews, His chosen people—the people I describe as resurrected from the dead out of a dead man’s loins and a dead woman’s womb—that they were a supernatural people.

We Jews.

I say the Lord stated that the Gentile dispensation is over with now and we have come before the world to preach the gospel.

We’re like so many John the Baptists, making the way of the Lord straight—in other words, making His Word straight so that you can understand it.

The Lord really wants tough people who are able to persevere, who have tenacity, that nothing the Antichrist can do to us can stop us.

Now, they can put a bullet in our head and, yes, we’ll be dead, but I say we’ll be right in Heaven when that happens.

But what about you?

Now, I’m not asking for your money.

The Lord says that if you don’t tithe and give offerings, then you’re robbing Him.

If you’d rather give to what I call Antichrist cults, that’s your problem, because you’re going to be judged, I say, for helping or giving power unto the beast by your tithes and offerings and by your support.

On television and in government agencies, your supervisor tells you to go and burn this church up or burn that church up because they are cults—they don’t believe in Catholicism, they don’t believe in the Antichrist, they don’t believe in the Devil—and so therefore go and burn them up.

And you say, “Well, we had to do what we were ordered to do.”

Tell that to Jesus when you’re standing in front of Him at the judgment bar of God.

You were doing what you were told by the wrong party.

You’re told to keep the commandments of the Lord or, I say, you’ll go to Hell and the Lake of Fire.

I’ve seen Jesus, and I know He exists.

So many people say, “Well, nobody was ever there and saw the other side.”

I did.

The Lord showed me Heaven and He showed me Hell, and He showed thousands of people similar visions, I say—the fire, people moaning, groaning, yelling, screaming, gnashing their teeth, chewing on their tongues, wishing to God and hating themselves for not receiving the gospel.

They say, “We’re here, and we’re never going to get out.”

Go ahead now.

What scripture did I have for you that I told you I wanted to say?

Oh, now, a lot of people say there’s no perfection. You can’t be perfect.

But in the 14th chapter of the Book of Revelation—verse five, I believe—it states something about the 144,000.

Come over here and just read it real fast because I want to continue on with Susie here.

Speaker 2 – Sharon: “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on Mount Sion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father’s name written in their foreheads.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: This is John the Revelator speaking. He says he saw a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000.

I identify them with the elect, and it tells how many out of the tribes.

They have His Father’s name written in their foreheads.

The way you get the Father’s name written in your forehead, I say, is you read the Bible.

There are people who just have the world written in their foreheads. They just keep allowing the world to dictate the way they’re going to live.

They see somebody they want to know and have sex with, and so they go after them like a rabid dog.

Then they see something and say, “Well, people are being homosexual. It’s all right to be bisexual.”

I call that filthy.

These people are receiving what I call filth rather than the purity of the gospel.

Okay, now go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon: “And I heard a voice from Heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps.

“And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts and the elders.

“And no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the Earth.

“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: We’re redeemed from the Earth, so these people were human beings.

Now, “not defiled with women”—I interpret “women” here spiritually.

It doesn’t mean that you didn’t have sexual relationships with your wife.

These are pure people who believe the gospel. Whatever the Lord told them to do, they did.

They were virgins because, in my interpretation, they never let Satan pierce into their spirits.

That’s what it means.

It’s like we become one with the Lord when we get married to Him. His Spirit enters into our spirit, just as a man and woman become one flesh.

We become one with Jesus when we let His Holy Spirit, with the Father, enter into our spirits.

I call that circumcision of the spirit.

That’s the kind of circumcision the Lord wants now: to become one with Him so we can have the power of God living in us, so that we’re able to keep all His words—not only hear them and receive them into our heart, but do what the Lord tells us to do.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon: “These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.

“These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

“And in their mouth was found no guile... for they are without fault before the throne of God.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Wherever He goes, whatever He says, they do.

They were saved from among the people here on Earth.

“In their mouth was found no guile.”

Keep going.

“They are without fault.”

Now everybody’s saying that none of us is perfect.

Let’s see: God says that these 144,000 are without fault.

I say if the Lord told us to do something, even though it looks wrong to the world or to the Antichrist, God said to do it and we do it. Therefore, in my interpretation, we keep our virginity.

Then there are people who say, “The government says this is wrong, so by God we’re going to come against these people.”

The churches and the people who are ignorant because they don’t read the Bible are the ones, I say, who have given their power and strength unto the beast.

But this Bible I’m reading here says that they are without fault.

That means, as I understand it, that they are perfect.

Any time somebody says, “Well, you know, you can’t be perfect”—I hear Charles Stanley and others say the same thing—I say they are all united with the one-world cult.

Yet they look shiny.

Sometimes the people of the world think we don’t look so shiny. Sometimes my hair isn’t combed too good, and maybe I get a little this or that here and there.

Hey, don’t pay attention to that. Pay attention to what we say.

Amen.

John the Baptist didn’t look too cute either.

He popped locusts into his mouth and crunched their little bony legs and ate honey.

He would not be acceptable in your church, but he’s welcome in ours.

Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon: “For they are without fault before the throne of God.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: We’re without fault.

So any time you hear somebody denying what this scripture or the other scriptures are saying, then I say you’re hearing from the Devil.

You have to not receive it. You must reject it. You must keep your virginity.

That’s why the Lord tells you to put on the full armor of God and resist Satan, and he’ll flee from you.

Okay, now let’s get back to Susie here before we run out of time.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “This whole world has no idea what it’s heading for.

“We’re heading for famine, pestilence, and destruction.

“We have never known violence like what this nation is going to know.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Now, she’s saying this around 30 years ago, and now you see the violence.

I say she was prophesying what would be happening in the future.

The Lord took her out April 8, 1982 [date should be verified], and she preached this around five, six, or seven years before that.

Okay, keep going.

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “You’ve lost your place with God, and you’ve compromised with the Devil, and you’ve become susceptible to every demon power in Hell.

“We have got to believe God.

“We have got to get back to the King James Version of the Bible, where Christians are saying to each other, ‘I talked about you, brother, but I ask you to forgive me. I was wrong.’

“Or, ‘Sister, I said things about you that were untrue. I ask you to forgive me.’

“Because I know that the time is drawing nigh of the coming of Jesus Christ.

“And I know we’re going to have to repent. We’re going to have to make straight that which is crooked.

“The Word of God tells us that we have to have love.

“We can’t, when we see a Christian fall, come against them even stronger and shove them right down under Hell.

“We have to have love.

“There’s hope, faith, and charity, and the greatest of them is charity.

“We have to have faith. We walk by faith, not by sight, in order to get into the Kingdom of God.

“And so we have to have hope.

“We have to hold the great hope that Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven, and now we are able to do the same thing if the Spirit of Christ lives in us as it did with Him.

“Then on the last day we’ll be resurrected from the dead by the Holy Spirit, and we’re going to Heaven.

“But if we receive any filthy doctrine that the world is preaching to you, the Lord says, ‘Love not the world.’

“Love My Word.

“The whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments.

“So do that and live.

“We’re going to have to prepare to meet our God.

“So love the brothers and sisters.

“If a person doesn’t love your brother or your sister, the love of God is not in you, and you still are in darkness.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Okay.

Even though we love you people out there, we’re preaching the gospel to you.

Don’t turn it around like the Antichrist and say that we hate you because we’re telling you what we believe is the truth.

Paul said, in effect, “Do you hate me because I tell you the truth?”

Have I done something wrong to you by telling you how to get into Heaven?

Come on. You can’t be that brain-damaged, can you?

Excuse me for laying it on you this way, but like I said, I’m a little crude with my speech. Get used to it.

Then what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon, reading Susie: “I can’t understand why people compromise.

“The economy today alone would tell you that it’s over. It can’t be any other thing.”

Speaker 1 – Tony Alamo: Right.

And also the way that, in my view, the Vatican is doing everything today and the whole Antichrist system—it tells you that it’s over.

Read the Bible. Read chapter 24 in the Book of Matthew.

But I see our time is over right now, and we’re going to have another fantastic message for you tomorrow.

It’s more than fantastic because it’s the Word of God.

And it is, I say, the only word on the face of this Earth that is capable, if you believe, of winning your soul.

If you believe in anything else other than the Word of God, I say you’re damned, you’re lost, because you don’t love the truth.

So we’re going to give you an opportunity right now.

If you say this prayer to the Lord, I say you’ll save your soul.

Say it to the Lord right now. Say it to God and mean it with all your heart.

Say:

“My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner.

“I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God.

“And I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my filthy sins.

“And I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power—the only power in the universe—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 on the cross of Calvary.

“You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus. You will save my soul.

“I’m sure of it because Your Word says so. Your Word is God, and God cannot lie.

“You’re going to save my soul because I’m calling on You.

“You said that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

“So therefore I know, Father, that You’ve heard me, and I know, Father, that You’ve answered me, and I know, Father, that I’m saved.

“And I thank You, Father and Lord Jesus, for saving my soul.”

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

Hallelujah. Glory to God. Amen.
