The Blood, the Word, and the Warning to Remain in God’s Life
Ep204 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 102
A Continuing Sermon on God’s Life Within the Believer
In this episode of Tony Alamo’s series How to Have God’s Life Living in You, World Pastor Tony Alamo presents part 102 of the teaching, continuing his emphasis on salvation, repentance, obedience, spiritual warfare, and the necessity of remaining in the Word of God. He opens by describing himself as a full-time pastor fighting Satan, sin, and the world, then prays for listeners to receive the message, be spiritually fed, and be provided for in both spiritual and practical ways. The sermon is framed as a warning to the unsaved and to the churches to hear what the Spirit is saying.
Listener Requests, Testimonies, and International Outreach
The program includes several listener responses and ministry updates before returning to the teaching from Hebrews. A caller from Michigan requests information after hearing the shortwave broadcast, while a listener from Panorama City asks for missed programs because she says the sermons help her daily walk. A letter from Nigeria thanks the ministry for spreading the gospel in Africa and requests Bibles, shirts, preaching materials, and music tapes. Alamo uses the Nigeria letter to discuss missionary work, Bible distribution, African evangelism, and his desire to verify needs before sending larger support.
Warnings Against False Doctrine and Religious Deception
Alamo repeatedly contrasts what he presents as true biblical teaching with what he sees as false doctrine, counterfeit religion, and compromised preaching. He criticizes Catholic doctrine, government interference with religious expression, and preachers who teach that salvation is permanently secured regardless of later conduct. He argues that salvation requires continued obedience, repentance, and endurance to the end, and he warns listeners not to rely on teachers who, in his view, minimize sin or fail to teach the full demands of Scripture.
Worship, Fear of God, and Entering His Rest
The central teaching continues under the theme of “insights into worshiping the Lord.” Alamo explains that believers should worship God because of His promises, His mercy, His power, and His offer of rest. Drawing from Hebrews chapter 4, he says entering God’s rest means leaving behind the works of the old life, including sin, rebellion, worldly pursuits, and self-directed living. He teaches that those who read God’s Word but refuse to obey it are like foolish builders without a foundation, while those who hear and obey are wise and prepared for judgment.
The Blood of Jesus and the Door Into Heaven
A major theme of the sermon is the blood of Jesus. Alamo teaches that Christ’s blood removes former sins, opens the way to God, and allows believers to come boldly before the throne of grace. He emphasizes that the blood is not a license to continue sinning, but the means by which past sin is forgiven so the believer can now live in obedience. He also discusses Hebrews 9 and 10, contrasting Christ’s sacrifice with the older sacrifices of bulls and goats, and insists that Jesus died once to make redemption available.
Repentance, Perfection, and Continuing in the Spirit
Alamo strongly argues that believers must stop sinning and continue in the Spirit until the end. He says sins of ignorance can be forgiven when a person repents, but willful sin after salvation is spiritually dangerous. He rejects the idea that no one can be perfect, saying that perfection is possible only when Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit live in and rule through the believer. He repeatedly urges listeners to remain in the Word, pray for power, come boldly to God in times of need, and live one day at a time under God’s grace.
Prayer for Salvation and a Call to Stay in the Word
The episode closes with Alamo inviting unsaved listeners to receive Christ by praying a sinner’s prayer. He leads listeners to confess belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died on the cross, shed His blood for sin, and was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. The program ends with instructions for receiving free CDs or tapes through the ministry and a preview of the next installment, part 103 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You. Alamo’s final message is to stay in the Word, stay in the Spirit, and be saved.
