The Commonwealth of God: Kingship, Obedience, and Letting Christ Live Through You
Ep206 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 104
Entering the Kingdom Without Cost
In this episode, Pastor Tony Alamo continues part 104 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, program number 206. He opens by emphasizing that his ministry materials are offered free of charge because, in his view, God did not charge him for salvation. From there, he contrasts the poverty and oppression he sees in the world with the kingdom of God, arguing that worldly systems enrich a small ruling class while the true kingdom of God operates as a spiritual commonwealth where those who submit to God’s rule receive what they need.
The Kingdom of God Versus Worldly Kingdoms
Alamo explains that earthly kingdoms and political systems, including what he calls democracy, often function as oppressive structures ruled by wealthy elites. By contrast, he presents the kingdom of God as a royal commonwealth under the authority of Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. In this kingdom, believers are not passive recipients of blessings but are called to become kings who lead others into righteousness. Alamo says the purpose of spiritual kingship is not domination, but instruction, guidance, and bringing people into the blessings and laws of God’s kingdom.
Teaching, Discipline, and the Responsibility to Lead
A major theme of the message is the responsibility of believers to teach others. Alamo says those who belong to the kingdom must help instruct new believers, children, families, and people who do not yet understand God’s laws. He uses the example of teaching his young daughter to eat salads for her health as a practical illustration of kingly responsibility: leaders must explain, guide, correct, and care for those entrusted to them. He criticizes people in the church who enjoy the benefits of the kingdom but do not teach, serve, or help others grow spiritually.
Spiritual Life for Dead Trees
Alamo compares unsaved people to dead trees that cannot bear fruit unless supernatural life enters them. He argues that preaching condemnation alone will not transform people; they must receive God’s life within them. In his teaching, the church’s job is to present the kingdom of God in such a way that people see the advantage of entering it and desire the commonwealth of God over the oppression of worldly systems. He says believers must reason with people, show them Christ, and demonstrate the life of the kingdom rather than merely accuse them or shout judgment at them.
Health, Provision, and the Laws of the Kingdom
The sermon also connects obedience to God with health, provision, and daily life. Alamo discusses food, clothing, medicine costs, poverty, inflation, housing, and the burden of living outside the protection and provision of God’s kingdom. He teaches that the kingdom has its own health program, economic system, educational system, defense system, and judicial system. In his view, believers should seek first the kingdom of God rather than being consumed by worry over food, clothing, shelter, or worldly security.
Christ Living Through the Believer
Alamo repeatedly emphasizes that true Christianity requires Christ to live in and through the believer. He says the world wants to see Jesus in people, not merely hear religious claims. He warns that if church members act like the world, hate sinners, neglect new believers, defend sin, or refuse instruction, they are not building the kingdom of God on Earth. Alamo teaches that believers must discipline themselves, submit their minds and bodies to the Holy Spirit, and allow Christ to continue His work through them.
Salvation, Tithing, and the Closing Appeal
The message closes with Alamo calling listeners to enter the kingdom through a sinner’s prayer. He asks them to confess belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the King of kings, and the one whose blood washes away sin. After the prayer, he encourages listeners to request a free copy of the message and then turns to the kingdom’s economic system, which he identifies as tithing. He urges supporters to help send the message to the world, ending with ministry contact information and a final encouragement to remain in the kingdom.
