Ep174 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 72

Judgment, Mercy, and Having God’s Life Living Within You

Opening Prayer and the Urgency of the End Times

In this episode, Tony Alamo introduces program number 174, part 72 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You. He opens with a prayer asking God to anoint the service, awaken listeners, and reveal the meaning of the book of Revelation, especially the seven seals, seven trumpets, tribulation, and the return of Christ. Alamo emphasizes that he believes the time of Christ’s coming is near, arguing that the gospel has gone throughout the world and that Israel’s return to its homeland is a sign of the last days. He asks that the message strengthen the church, save souls, expose Satan, and bring healing to those who believe.

Letters from Ghana, El Salvador, and Nigeria

A large early portion of the episode features letters from listeners in Ghana, El Salvador, and Nigeria. A man from Ghana describes being converted after reading Alamo’s booklet The Fighters, saying he had previously been part of a notorious gang but now believes in Jesus and wants Bibles, literature, tapes, and other materials to grow spiritually. A listener from El Salvador thanks the ministry for literature that has encouraged believers and helped evangelism efforts, while a listener from Nigeria says Alamo’s materials exposed him to spiritual truths and asks for Bibles, newsletters, books, and messages to help his family and new converts. Alamo uses these letters to emphasize the importance of distributing literature, saying it brings souls to salvation and encourages believers around the world.

Alamo on Writing and Distributing Literature

Alamo then reflects on his ministry after the death of his wife, Susie, saying he asked God for the ability to write so the ministry could continue. He says God gave him that gift but required discipline, study, prayer, and confinement to the writing work. Alamo stresses that distributing the literature is central to the ministry’s survival and purpose, saying that the messages come from God and are meant to save lives spiritually. He praises those who distribute the materials, win souls, and help spread the ministry’s teachings across nations.

Every Word and Thought Before Judgment

The teaching portion turns to Matthew 12:36 and Revelation 20, where Alamo focuses on the warning that every idle word will be judged. He teaches that God records every careless word, every blasphemous use of God’s name, every hidden thought, and every secret action. Alamo compares this to a divine tape recorder or hidden camera, saying nothing is forgotten even if people themselves no longer remember it. He warns that at the great white throne judgment, all secrets will be revealed, including things done in private, in the past, or in places people thought were hidden.

Works, Mercy, and the Great White Throne

Alamo explains Revelation 20 as teaching that people will be judged according to their works, rejecting the idea that a person can live carelessly and avoid accountability. He argues that everyone is doing some kind of work every day, either for themselves, for sin, or for God. He teaches that mercy must be sown now in order to receive mercy later, comparing spiritual life to planting seeds: those who sow mercy, love, obedience, and soul-winning will reap mercy, while those who ignore God will face judgment. Alamo defines love as keeping God’s commandments and presents evangelism, preaching, and literature distribution as acts of mercy that prepare a person for God’s judgment.

Salvation Prayer and Closing Appeal

The episode closes with an urgent appeal for listeners to be saved immediately rather than waiting for another day. Alamo warns that refusing the message will harden the heart and that death may come suddenly. He leads listeners in a salvation prayer, asking Jesus to forgive sins, enter the heart, wash the soul in His blood, and give the believer power to deny self, take up the cross, obey the Word, and become a soul winner. The program ends with instructions for requesting a free tape or CD of program 174, along with Bibles, literature, and ministry materials, and Alamo invites listeners to return for part 73 of the series.
