Two Kingdoms, One Calling: God’s Life, Spiritual Gifts, and the Word as Light
Ep219 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 117
Opening Prayer, Ministry Music, and Worldwide Outreach
In this episode of Tony Alamo, World Pastor Tony Alamo introduces Program 219, part 117 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You. He opens with references to the live orchestra and choir conducted by H.B. Barnum, the church in Los Angeles, and the availability of the program and ministry music. Tony then prays that God will pour out the Holy Spirit through the broadcast, save souls, strengthen the church, and bring people out of what he calls the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God’s light.
Letters From Kenya, Peru, New Mexico, and India
The early portion of the episode features ministry letters from around the world. A pastor in Kenya asks for Bibles, Messiah books, newsletters, and bicycles for evangelists distributing literature. A letter from Peru thanks Tony for literature that the writer says helped bring people to Christ and asks for Bible-study materials, recorded messages, and more resources. A New Mexico prisoner asks for a Bible, dictionary, and literature to share with others, while a pastor in India requests Telugu and English Bibles, Messiah books, and prayer for a church-building effort. Tony repeatedly frames the literature as soul-winning material and encourages believers to distribute it wherever they are.
Healing, Faith, and Continuing in the Spirit
After the letters, Tony prays and teaches that those who are in the body of Christ should believe God’s word regarding healing, salvation, and perfection through walking in the Spirit. He says there is no condemnation for those who remain in the Spirit, and he presents studying the Word of God as the way to continue in that Spirit. In Tony’s doctrinal framing, faith receives salvation, healing, and the benefits of the kingdom, while doubt and darkness keep people separated from God’s promises.
The Kingdom of Light Versus the Kingdom of Darkness
The central sermon turns to Jesus’ statement to Pilate: “My kingdom is not of this world.” Tony contrasts two kingdoms: the kingdom of God, which he identifies with light, truth, life, knowledge, salvation, and the Word of God, and the kingdom of darkness, which he associates with Satan, deception, ignorance, death, and worldly systems. He teaches that Jesus came to testify to the truth, rose from the dead, and demonstrated that God’s truth is more powerful than darkness. The sermon repeatedly urges listeners to choose the kingdom of light and reject the lies and ignorance of the kingdom of darkness.
Every Believer Has an Essence of God
A major practical section focuses on the idea that every saved believer has an “essence of God” within them and a useful role in the body of Christ. Tony says some people are called to preach, while others may be called to distribute literature, care for children, smile at the discouraged, feed the hungry, work with music, manage stores, handle inventory, farm, raise cattle, plant crops, run equipment, ship tapes and CDs, or support schools. He warns people not to covet another person’s ministry but to discover and use the particular ability or desire God has placed within them.
The Word as the Sword and the Power to Escape Darkness
Tony returns to the image of the Word of God as the spiritual sword, contrasting it with worldly weapons and systems of destruction. He compares escaping the kingdom of darkness to a rocket breaking free from gravity, saying that the Spirit and Word of God provide the force needed to lift people out of Satan’s pull. He teaches that Satan’s greatest weapon is ignorance and deception, while God’s weapon is the Word, truth, light, Spirit, and life. Through this framing, he urges listeners to receive Jesus, study scripture, and remain in the knowledge of God.
Salvation Prayer, Israel Commentary, and Ordering Information
Toward the end, Tony continues with religious and geopolitical commentary, including claims about Israel, Rome, the Vatican, and end-times prophecy, all presented as his attributed religious viewpoint from the broadcast. He then returns to the promise of heavenly citizenship, saying that believers live on Earth but belong to the kingdom of heaven and have access to its resources, authority, and power. The episode closes with a salvation prayer asking Jesus to wash away sins and enter the heart, followed by Sharon giving ordering information for Program 219 and ministry contact details.
