Ep299 How to have God's life living in you, part 197

Program 299, The Jonestown Massacre Exposed, Vatican Conspiracies, And Gary S. Paxton Music

World pastor Tony Alamo presents program number 299, part 197 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, challenging official accounts of the Jonestown massacre through a forensic exposé, tying global events to Vatican intrigue, and featuring songs by Gary S. Paxton.

Opening Remarks And A Song By Gary S. Paxton

World pastor Tony Alamo opens program 299, designating it as part 197 of his ongoing series How to Have God's Life Living in You. He announces that the broadcast features musical selections by his longtime associate Gary S. Paxton alongside an extensive exposé concerning the November 1978 tragedy at Jonestown in Guyana. Rejecting the official narrative of mass suicide via poisoned flavor drink, Alamo insists that hundreds of Peoples Temple followers were systematically executed by military forces under the clandestine direction of globalist powers centered in Rome. He recalls conversations that he and his late wife Susie had with survivors who purportedly fled into the surrounding jungle to escape armed soldiers. Blaming the secular press for operating as an instrument of deception, Alamo delivers an opening petition asking God to open listeners' eyes and strengthen the church. He then presents Paxton's recording of There's Got to Be More to Living Than Just Waiting to Die.

The Media Narrative Versus The Pulpit Truth

Following the song, Alamo directs Michelle to begin reading an investigative article titled The Truth About Jonestown: What You Were Told About Jonestown. Michelle recounts how Jim Jones established the Peoples Temple in San Francisco during the late 1960s, attracting a multiracial congregation focused on racial equality and social reform before relocating members to remote South America amid mounting public scandals. Pausing the reading, Alamo reflects on his own forty-two years of evangelistic street ministry, recalling confrontations in California with groups such as the Children of God and countercultural figures who blew marijuana smoke at his workers. He asserts that secular authorities and mainstream media organizations continually manufacture false allegations of financial corruption and physical abuse against legitimate Christian ministries. Alamo vehemently rejects accusations of cult activity within his own church, contrasting his public preaching with what he describes as Rome's secretive, deceptive manipulation of global institutions, governments, and national media networks.

Body Counts And Discrepancies At Jonestown

Michelle continues reading the article, detailing how California Congressman Leo Ryan traveled to Guyana to investigate disturbing reports of beatings, kidnapping, and sexual abuse within the commune. She describes the fatal ambush at the Port Kaituma airstrip, where Ryan and accompanying journalists were assassinated, followed by the mass death of colonists at the main pavilion. The text examines the stark mathematical discrepancies in initial casualty statistics, noting that Guyanese authorities initially tallied 408 corpses while American military officials later revised the count upward to 913. Michelle highlights evidence showing that aerial photographs failed to substantiate claims that hundreds of adult bodies were found stacked atop children. Alamo breaks in to argue that over seven hundred terrified residents attempted to flee into the tropical jungle, only to be systematically pursued, executed, and repositioned in rows by arriving troops. He contends that mainstream publications conceal these facts because complete public disclosure would completely undermine media credibility.

Forensic Findings And Allegations Of Military Cover-Up

Michelle reads forensic testimony provided by Dr. Leslie Mootoo, the chief Guyanese pathologist who examined the Jonestown fatalities immediately following the massacre. The report emphasizes that the dead exhibited relaxed limbs and peaceful facial features rather than the painful muscle contortions and clenched facial expressions characteristic of cyanide poisoning. Mootoo documented fresh hypodermic needle punctures on the upper shoulder blades of up to ninety percent of victims, concluding that almost all were murdered rather than dying by suicide. The narrative criticizes American military mortuary teams at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for hastily cremating corpses, neglecting basic fluid autopsies, and ignoring Guyanese investigative findings. Alamo connects these forensic anomalies to broader political cover-ups, alleging that British Black Watch commandos, Guyanese soldiers, and American Green Berets participated in a coordinated extermination campaign. He maintains that government officials fabricated the suicide narrative to disparage independent Christian churches and shield Rome's hidden hierarchy from global exposure.

Port Kaituma Shootings And The Background Of Jim Jones

The reading proceeds to examine the targeted violence at the Port Kaituma airstrip, observing that attackers selectively assassinated Congressman Ryan and members of the press while sparing certain wounded aides. Michelle notes that Central Intelligence Agency operative Richard Dwyer accompanied Ryan's delegation, boarded planes on film, and separated himself immediately prior to gunfire, prompting speculation regarding his prior relationship with Jones. She then reviews Jones's early life in Lynn, Indiana, his father's involvement in the Ku Klux Klan, and his youthful association with Dan Mitrione, who later served as Richmond police chief. The article describes how Jones conducted traveling revivalist tent meetings, operated an exotic animal enterprise, and deceived gullible followers by using wet chicken livers to simulate miraculous cancer extractions. Alamo comments that numerous modern religious leaders similarly exploit biblical scripture as financial weapons, comparing their lucrative deceit to armed robbery while maintaining that secular authorities intentionally installed Jones as an experimental operative.

Sinner's Prayer, Ministry Announcements, And Sophisticated Savages

Observing that airtime is concluding, Alamo cuts the reading short and urges radio listeners across the nation to reject media lies and secure eternal salvation. He leads an earnest spoken sinner's prayer, prompting listeners to confess faith in Christ's sacrificial crucifixion, shed blood, and physical resurrection for total forgiveness of sins. Alamo defends his personal integrity, stating that he does not minister for money and noting his possession of an unreleased Beatles recording obtained from drummer Pete Best's mother during his prior secular promotional career. An announcer identifies herself as Sharon and outlines four avenues to obtain copies of program 299, directing requests to the ministry's website, telephone number, fax line, or Texarkana, Texas postal box. Alamo returns to decry modern abortion practices, labeling participating medical personnel as modern savages who wear white coats while terminating unborn infants. The broadcast concludes with Gary S. Paxton performing his satirical recording Sophisticated Savages.

Program 298, Teachings On The Mystery Of Iniquity, Hitler And The Vatican, And A Gary S. Paxton Song

World pastor Tony Alamo preaches program number 298, part 196 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, tying Waco and David Koresh to what he calls Vatican deception of Hitler, playing a Gary S. Paxton recording, and reading listener testimonials before closing with Second Thessalonians and H.B. Barnum's Life Choir.

Opening Prayer Against Rome And Waco

Tony Alamo opens program 298, part 196 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners that Sharon will give four ways to request a copy at the close of the hour and asking them to have paper and pen ready. He leads an extended opening prayer thanking God for the privilege of prayer and denying that his ministry holds guns, bullets, tanks, or any kind of militia, insisting instead that the Roman government is the true militia behind the raid at Waco. He says agents treated that raid as a "turkey shoot," meant to kill rather than arrest, and accuses the Vatican of running the news media and the smear campaigns that paint born-again Christians as dangerous cults. Alamo prays that the Lord will open the eyes of listeners in "radioland" to this deception, strengthen the church, and bring souls to repentance, while the congregation answers amen throughout the prayer.

Hitler, The Vatican, And David Koresh

Continuing his prayer and teaching, Alamo says the Lord directed him to study Hitler's speeches, arguing that the Vatican flattered and manipulated Hitler into believing Jews controlled a one-world government through the League of Nations, then abandoned him once war proved useful, driving him to suicide. He compares this deception to the biblical account of Eve being deceived by Satan, and extends the same framework to David Koresh, saying musician friends who played guitar with Koresh described him as peaceful, and that tapes of his preaching only urged people to be born again and keep the commandments, not the crimes the government alleged. Alamo insists his own ministry has never owned so much as a toy gun and has never killed anyone, contrasting that with what he calls Vatican-directed mass murder, and leads the congregation in a prayer asking God to destroy the works of Satan in those deceived by the "one-world government" and open their eyes to salvation.

A Song From Gary S. Paxton

Alamo introduces an old friend from his years in the music business before either man was saved, Gary S. Paxton, recalling visiting Paxton's recording studio on Hudson Street in Hollywood when both were unsaved, and praising him as a gifted songwriter and arranger who has written for the Four Freshmen and many stars, including Alamo himself. He plays Paxton's recording of "Jesus Is Taking Me Higher and Higher," noting that Alamo's Motivation Music company once employed Paxton and helped build his recording studio in Nashville. After the song, Alamo references Revelation 10:7 and the mystery of the seventh angel, saying the Lord has called him to expose what he calls the mystery of iniquity described in Second Thessalonians so that listeners can make an informed choice between serving God and serving Satan, before turning the program over to Sharon for the day's testimonial letters.

Testimonials From Three States

Sharon reads three listener testimonials. A woman named Ruth from La Mesa, California, writes that she read Alamo's article "Dry Bones" in the San Diego Union-Tribune, found it a refreshing departure from the usual anti-Christian tone of the newspaper, shared it at her church, and requests his Messiah book along with more copies of "Dry Bones." Reverend Glenn, writing from New Hope, Minnesota, says he read Alamo's "Difficult Mountain" in the Star Tribune and asks for prayer as he prepares to minister in HIV and AIDS hospitals and orphanages in South Africa. A caller named Dawn from Moore, Oklahoma, says she and her mother read Alamo's "Difficult Mountain" together from the Daily News each Sunday as part of their regular Bible discussion. Alamo responds to each by contrasting his literature with what he calls the mostly satanic content of modern media, and says many suicidal readers have been saved by it.

Drink Only From Your Own Cistern

Returning to his Hitler material, Alamo reads from one of the dictator's speeches refusing "international help" for Germany, arguing Hitler briefly understood the biblical principle from Proverbs 5:15 to "drink waters out of thine own cistern" before the Vatican tricked him into resisting the League of Nations and then turned the United States, Russia, France, and England against him. He applies the same verse to modern America, criticizing the United Nations, NATO, and the practice of American troops fighting globally while two hundred other nations merely vote on policy, and blaming the loss of domestic industry on entangling alliances. Alamo warns that the same cult pushed Hitler toward murdering Jews by convincing him they controlled the League of Nations, calls himself a Jewish, born-again believer unashamed of the gospel, and tells the congregation not to let the United Nations or any foreign government dictate to the United States, framing self-reliant faith as the nation's only real protection.

Second Thessalonians And A Closing Prayer

Alamo has Sharon read Second Thessalonians 2:7 through 10 verse by verse, pausing after each line to explain that the "mystery of iniquity" is Rome's hidden workings, that God permits it only until the appointed time, and that the "Wicked" one will ultimately be consumed by "the spirit of his mouth," which Alamo identifies as the word of God itself. He says this revealing is happening now through his own broadcasts and literature, distributed by the hundreds of millions, and warns that rejecting the truth invites the strong delusion described in the passage. Running out of time, Alamo leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart and promising assurance of salvation to anyone who prays it sincerely. Sharon then gives the four ways to request program 298: the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, a phone number, and a fax number, and the broadcast closes with H.B. Barnum's Life Choir performing "Life Prayer Song."

A John Peeler Interview On Timothy McVeigh, A Vatican Conspiracy Teaching, And Listener Testimonies

World Pastor Tony Alamo reads a John Peeler interview claiming Timothy McVeigh is still alive, teaches that the Vatican controls world governments and media, and co-host Michele Alamo shares listener testimonies from across the country.

Program 297 Opens With Claims About McVeigh

Tony Alamo opens program number 297, part 195 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners to keep paper and pen ready since Sharon will give four ways to request a copy at the close. He says the Lord changed the course of today's broadcast with what he calls vital information, citing an interview with former FBI and ATF undercover agent John Peeler as proof that Timothy McVeigh is still alive and that his execution was staged. Alamo also repeats a claim he says he made days earlier that Saddam Hussein's reported death looked like a government setup, alleging that the Vatican, President Bush, and Hussein had long been partners in the oil business. Michele Alamo gives the website arcticbeacon.com as the source. Alamo then leads an extended opening prayer, calling Rome's cult, government, and media three frog-like spirits from the dragon, and the congregation answers amen.

A Song And John Peeler's Credentials

After the prayer, Tony Alamo introduces a recording of himself singing In The City Where The Lamb Is The Light with the Stamps Quartet, telling listeners there is no toil or corruption in the city he describes. Returning to the microphone, he previews an updated interview with John Peeler, describing him as a former FBI and ATF undercover man who has admitted involvement in the World Trade Center attacks, the Oklahoma City bombing, and Waco, all of which Alamo blames on orders from Rome. He says attempts have been made for years to hire someone to assassinate him and that Peeler supplied information that became his own piece of literature, The Evil One World Government Agents in the United States Are Claiming to Be United States Agents. Alamo insists he remains a patriotic American who loves the flag but rejects what he calls Roman canon law operating through the United Nations.

Teaching On Trade Unions And The United Nations

Tony Alamo teaches that Rome's goal is a one-world government achieved by breaking America's economic back, alleging that Vatican and United Nations planners pushed trade unions to raise American labor costs so high that manufacturing would shift to Japan, Germany, India, and other nations paying workers far less. He argues this scheme explains why automobile, clothing, and appliance industries moved overseas while homelessness grew domestically. Alamo claims the United Nations, with roughly two hundred member countries, would use American troops as its police force, bombing any nation refusing to join, and that the Vatican directs this program because the United States declares in God we trust. He frames corrupt politicians as acceptable to Rome while Bible-preaching ministers are targeted for removal, repeating his broader theme that institutional and media power ultimately traces back to Vatican control before turning to listener correspondence with Michele Alamo.

Michele Reads Listener Testimonies From Five States

Michele Alamo reads a run of witnessing-line responses. From Beverly Hills, Yacov Marcus and his friend Joseph, a Jewish businessman, ask about recording the Messiah book in Hebrew and offer to put more literature on tape so Israelis can hear the gospel in their own language; Alamo says he will send the tape to a translator since he does not speak Hebrew. Bill from Oregon requests a Russian Bible, trusting the ministry to send an accurate translation. Chris from Sacramento, who once wrote a pastoral school thesis on Tony Alamo Christian Ministries, calls wanting to become a distributor and start a Sacramento branch after growing disillusioned with other churches. Shantel from Brooklyn asks for ten Messiah books each in English and Russian to give to Jewish residents. Shane from Princeton, Minnesota orders Brace Yourselves, Difficult Mountains, and the Messiah book, having been told the ministry avoids what he calls wishy-washy doctrine.

The John Peeler Interview On Waco And 9/11

Michele Alamo reads at length from a Greg Szymanski article posted at arcticbeacon.com quoting former FBI and ATF agent John Peeler, who says Timothy McVeigh had plastic surgery and is living in South America, that McVeigh was a government patsy connected to MKUltra, and that Peeler himself was once assigned to investigate Alamo but later apologized for recommending bogus tax evasion charges against him. Peeler describes helping stage Waco as what agents called a turkey shoot intended to kill David Koresh, claims inside knowledge that Oklahoma City and September 11 were orchestrated inside jobs tied to a New World Order agenda, and says his son was framed for murder in retaliation for his going public. Tony Alamo interjects periodically, insisting he is squeaky clean despite years of government hostility and arguing that Jonestown deaths were murders disguised as mass suicide, angrily addressing the History Channel directly for repeating what he calls that lie.

Closing Teaching, Sinner's Prayer, And Contact Info

Alamo reads a webmaster-supplied item describing a web of corruption linking the Bush family, the Vatican, Bin Laden, and Saddam Hussein, dwelling on Neil Bush's role in a savings and loan collapse that cost taxpayers a billion dollars while he was fined only fifty thousand, which Alamo calls proof the Bushes are robber barons acting as Vatican bagmen rather than true capitalists. Noting he has run out of time to begin the sixteenth chapter of Numbers as planned, Alamo says exposing world corruption matters only if it leads people to salvation, and he leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart and promising forgiveness to anyone praying along sincerely. He urges listeners saved today to keep growing in prayer and holiness rather than stopping at the prayer itself. Sharon Alamo then gives four ways to request program 297, and Alamo closes over H.B. Barnum's Life Choir performing the Life Prayer Song.

Teachings On Numbers 16, A Hitler Speech On Sovereignty, And A Song With J.D. Sumner And The Stamps

World pastor Tony Alamo preaches program 296, part 194 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, praying against the Vatican and the United Nations, reading an excerpt from a Hitler speech, performing a recording of 'I, John' with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, reading listener letters from Arkansas and Minnesota, recounting the vision behind his salvation, and teaching from the sixteenth chapter of Numbers on Korah's rebellion.

Program Opens With A Prayer Against Rome

Tony Alamo opens program number 296, part 194 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners to keep paper and pens ready, since Sharon will explain at the close of the hour how to request a copy. He previews songs, testimonials, an excerpt from a Hitler speech he will read in English, and a Bible message from the sixteenth chapter of Numbers. Alamo leads an extended opening prayer, thanking God for the Commonwealth of the Kingdom of Heaven and for power over devils, sickness, and the grave. He prays against what he calls the Antichrist Catholic cult centered in Rome, blaming the Vatican for steering the United Nations vote that sent American automobile, electronics, and garment industries to Japan and China, and for stripping the nation's sovereignty. He asks the Lord to destroy anyone who will not be saved and to strengthen the church, and the congregation answers with a spoken amen.

Reading Hitler's Speech On Sovereignty

Alamo reads a lengthy excerpt from a Hitler speech, performing it in English and then unpacking each line, arguing that Hitler refused to let the United Nations govern Germany's production, tides, or sovereignty, and insisting the same principle should have kept the United States out of the UN. He contends that joining it cost the nation its Constitution and Bill of Rights the way Esau traded away his birthright, allowing a vote of 199 nations to hand the automobile, electronics, and garment industries to Japan and China and close steel mills in Cleveland. Alamo claims General MacArthur and General Patton were fired because America was too strong to need the UN, and that Eisenhower, campaigned on as 'I like Ike,' was installed as a one-world Vatican puppet. He adds that the dictionary defines Bolshevik government as democratic dictatorship, telling listeners that description now fits their own country.

I, John With J.D. Sumner And The Stamps

Before the song, Alamo teaches briefly on the book of Revelation, explaining that the apostle John, who also wrote the Gospel of John and three epistles, identified the Antichrist as a corporate body of people rather than one man, just as believers form the corporate body of Christ. He warns that the devil wants to move into that temple, telling the congregation they themselves are God's temple, and that Jesus requires believers to deny themselves and take up the cross rather than live an easy life. He then plays a recording of 'I, John,' taped with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps at the Johnny Cash studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Afterward Alamo recalls his son Mike, a jockey who won more than 2,100 races, mistaking the recording for Elvis Presley, a compliment Alamo laughs off while insisting he knows better than to let it inflate his ego.

Letters From Arkansas And Minnesota

Sharon reads a letter from DJ in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, who praises Alamo's teaching on KAAY 1090 AM and his article in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, requesting newsletters, the booklet The Messiah, and a free Bible. Alamo responds by insisting President Bush is not truly behind troop increases in Iraq, claiming the Vatican dictates the decision and that Bush would be assassinated like Kennedy if he refused, citing a man named John Peteraltrek, described as a former FBI and BATF undercover agent, who said the government once tried to hire him to kill Alamo. He recalls refusing even to shoot a skunk as a young man and accuses the media of dehumanizing audiences with footage of killings while ignoring deaths he attributes to the Vatican and to abortion. Sharon then reads a second letter, from Julie in Woodbury, Minnesota, who found Alamo's article 'Difficult Mountains' in the Star Tribune and requests The Messiah booklet, which Alamo answers by urging Christians who feel betrayed to cry out to God for vengeance rather than seek it themselves.

A Vision From The Night He Was Saved

Turning toward his message from Numbers, Alamo compares his own call to Moses being addressed from the burning bush, describing an audible voice in an office years ago commanding him to tell a room of people that Jesus is returning or face damnation, an episode he says is recorded in his tract Dry Bones and Signs of the Time. He recounts visiting various churches afterward, including a Greek Orthodox congregation in Los Angeles where a priest offered him a drink from a bar inside the sanctuary, before meeting his late wife Susie, who first asked him whether he knew Jesus was returning. He describes a vision of Susie in blue velour pants and a red velour top, her hair suddenly short, in which he knelt and kissed her while two pipes carried millions of unspoken questions up to heaven and answers flooding back, the Holy Spirit repeating 'it's true' as a glowing, wrought-iron ring burned into his soul, convincing him he had been called as surely as Moses.

Korah's Rebellion And A Closing Invitation

Alamo reads the opening of Numbers chapter sixteen, where Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and On rise up against Moses and Aaron, and warns members of his own congregation and critics outside it against claiming the same standing as himself, Moses, Aaron, or the Apostle Paul, recalling that Miriam was struck with leprosy for opposing Moses. Running out of time, he promises to continue the chapter the next day and leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart and promising forgiveness through his shed blood to anyone who prays it sincerely, asking listeners to raise their hands in response unless they are driving. Sharon then gives four ways to request program 296, specifying audio tape or CD: the website alamoministries.com, the ministry's post office box in Texarkana, Texas, a phone number, and a fax number. Alamo signs off as 'real Pastor Tony Alamo,' promises a powerful message from Numbers sixteen the next day, and the broadcast closes with H.B. Barnum's Life Choir performing the Life Prayer Song.

Program 769A, The Vine Of The Earth, The Seven Vials Of Wrath, And An Angel Band Performance

World pastor Tony Alamo preaches on chapters fourteen through sixteen of Revelation, plays his recording of Angel Band with the Prague Symphony Orchestra, and contrasts heavenly wisdom with earthly destruction.

Opening Prayer And An Angel Band Performance

Announcer opens the broadcast on behalf of Help From Christ Ministries before world pastor Tony Alamo welcomes listeners to program number 769. Alamo announces he is continuing his verse-by-verse study in the book of Revelation, urging the audience to pray for deeper divine wisdom, understanding, and knowledge during what he terms the final hours of human history. Emphasizing that believers cannot grasp the New Testament without understanding the Old Testament, Alamo leads an earnest opening prayer asking the Holy Spirit for anointing, rebuking Satan through the blood of Jesus, and praying for supernatural healing, protection, and daily resources for God's children. Expressing his personal joy regarding salvation and entering heaven, Alamo contrasts holy reverence with morbid fear, stating that true fear of God means keeping divine commandments. He then presents his musical recording of Angel Band, featuring accompaniment by the Prague Symphony Orchestra alongside the Life Choir, with musical arrangement and conducting by H.B. Barnum.

A Vision Of Christ And The Sharp Sickle

Returning to the microphone after the hymn, Alamo reflects on how rapidly days slip away, warning listeners that those who do nothing for the Lord cannot expect heavenly rewards. He asks Sharon to confirm they are examining Revelation chapter fourteen, beginning at verse fourteen, where the Apostle John describes one sitting on a white cloud resembling the Son of man with a golden crown. Alamo recounts a personal vision from his past when he saw Jesus Christ with his eyes wide open, describing Christ with bushy black hair and wearing an unpresumptuous, genuine golden crown slightly larger than a halo. Contrasting Christ's single golden crown of absolute authority with the ten crowns worn by the beast, Alamo explains that Jesus needs no self-exaltation because supreme power in heaven and earth belongs solely to him. He then reads the angel's cry to thrust in the sharp sickle because the earthly harvest of divine judgment is ripe.

Defining Earthly Versus Ethereal Wisdom

Alamo turns to Philippians chapter three, warning against enemies of the cross whose god is their belly and who mind earthly things. Calling upon Yvonne, Alamo asks her to read the formal dictionary definitions of earthly and earthy, which describe mortal worldly existence as opposed to ethereal themes. Sharon clarifies that ethereal refers to heavenly things not of this world, prompting Alamo to caution believers against setting their minds on worldly pursuits. Reading from the epistle of James, Alamo explains that bitter envying, strife, and lying against the truth represent sensual and devilish wisdom rather than wisdom descending from above. He admonishes Christians to remain sober-minded and preach the gospel even to those possessed by demonic delusions, rather than treating sin lightly with hypocritical flattery. Quoting first Corinthians fifteen, Alamo notes that while humanity first bears the image of the earthy Adam, born-again believers must bear the heavenly, incorruptible image of Christ.

The Great Winepress Of God's Wrath

Returning to Revelation chapter fourteen, Alamo compares the present era of widespread corruption to the days of Noah, declaring that sinners have gone to the hilt with wickedness. He reads of the angel emerging from the heavenly temple with a sharp sickle, followed by another angel possessing power over fire crying out from the altar to reap the vine of the earth. Alamo explains that this gathering represents God executing judgment upon unrepentant sinners whose grapes of iniquity are fully ripe before his face. Quoting verses nineteen and twenty, he describes the vine being cast into the great winepress of God's wrath outside the city, identifying that holy sanctuary as the New Jerusalem where the Lamb is the light. Alamo notes the apocalyptic prophecy of blood pouring from the winepress up to the horses' bridles for a space of sixteen hundred furlongs, warning earthlings that these heavenly signs forecast real retribution unless they repent.

The Sea Of Glass And Seven Vials

Moving into Revelation chapter fifteen, Alamo highlights John's vision of seven angels bearing the seven last plagues that fulfill God's wrath. Countering popular notions that God represents only unconditional love, Alamo asserts that both the King James Bible and original Hellenic Greek texts portray the Almighty as a God of righteous hatred and vengeance against evil. He describes overcomers standing on a sea of glass mingled with fire, having secured victory over the beast, his image, his mark, and his satanic one-world government agenda. Holding the harps of God, these victorious saints sing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb, proclaiming God's works great and marvelous. Alamo explains that the temple of the tabernacle of testimony in heaven opened to release seven angels clothed in pure white linen with golden girdles, who received seven golden vials full of divine wrath from one of the four beasts, completely filling the temple with smoke.

The Mark Of The Beast And Sinner's Prayer

Alamo advances to Revelation chapter sixteen, reading the heavenly command directing the seven angels to pour out the vials of wrath upon the earth. He explains that the first vial inflicts a noisome, grievous sore on those who accepted the mark of the beast, worshipped his image, and sided with corrupt television media, unjust court rulings, and globalist United Nations agendas. Alamo warns that God will destroy the beast and media systems, then invites listeners desiring salvation to pray along with him. He leads a spoken sinner's prayer asking Jesus Christ for mercy, confessing faith in the cross and resurrection, and inviting the Holy Spirit into the heart for total forgiveness. Sharon provides contact details, including the ministry website, a Hollywood post office box, and telephone numbers for ordering free copies of program 769 on CD or cassette, before Alamo and the announcer conclude with final blessings.

Ep295, How to have God's life living in your Part 193

Teachings On The Prayer Life Of Paul, A Warning About Pat Robertson, And A Song From H.B. Barnum's LIFE Choir

World pastor Tony Alamo preaches program number 295 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, teaching on the Apostle Paul's prayer life, warning listeners about Pat Robertson, and reading testimony letters from New Jersey and a California prison, with music from H.B. Barnum's LIFE Choir.

Program 295 Opens With A Prayer Against Rome

Tony Alamo opens program number 295, part 193 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners to keep paper and pen ready to request a copy of the broadcast, since Sharon will give four ways to do so at the end. He leads an extended opening prayer, thanking God for the privilege of communicating with the throne and praising the Lord as Holy, Holy God. Alamo prays against what he calls a second attempt by the Vatican to win world power, comparing today's media and "democracy" rhetoric to Hitler's Germany and the burning of the Reichstag, which he likens to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. He asks the Lord to destroy the Antichrist and strengthen the church against the tactics of what he calls the Rome-based cult, and prays for American troops being sent to Iraq. The congregation answers amen as he moves into music.

H.B. Barnum's LIFE Choir Sings Higher Ground

Tony Alamo introduces H.B. Barnum, an old friend from his years in the music industry before either man was saved, calling him one of the best arrangers, directors, and producers in the world and now the choir director at his church. He plays "Moving Up to Higher Ground," performed by Barnum's LIFE Choir, telling listeners they can receive an album of the recording for a $15 tax-deductible love gift. After several minutes of music, Alamo returns to teaching that all power, wisdom, and strength belong to Jesus in heaven and on earth, and that God must receive the very first and best of a person's allotted dispensation of time on Earth. He contrasts time spent chasing money or worldly knowledge with time spent in fellowship with the Lord, insisting that without that fellowship, preaching and labor carry no real power anywhere, whether on Earth or beyond it.

A Warning About Pat Robertson And Two Testimonies

Alamo criticizes televangelist Pat Robertson by name, recalling his run for president followed by his claim he no longer wanted to be called a minister, calling the flip-flop double-minded and a bad testimony to the gospel. He recalls his late wife Susie once comparing such preachers wearing "metal hats" on television to a coming embarrassment for all genuine believers, and urges listeners to pray for Robertson and similar ministers rather than mock them, citing the biblical test that a true prophet's predictions come to pass. Sharon then reads two brief listener letters: one from Roseland, New Jersey, thanking Tony for giving people hope and direction, and a longer one from David in Corcoran, California, a prison inmate saved since April 2004 who read Alamo's article "Difficult Mountain" in the Sacramento Bee and requests literature to share with fellow inmates. Alamo thanks both writers and blesses them before returning to his main teaching.

Paul's Example Of Praying Before Reading

Alamo teaches that believers should imitate the Apostle Paul, quoting "Be followers of me, even as I also am of Christ" from First Corinthians, and describes telling his son Zion that prayer must come before Bible study so the Holy Spirit can direct which book and chapter to read. He describes narrowing a passage down verse by verse through a felt sense of tightening or flowing in his chest, and recalls receiving unexpected insight this way, including understanding of the seven thunders in Revelation that he says he had never heard taught before. Moving into Paul's letters, Alamo reads from First and Second Thessalonians about believers being established, sanctified wholly, and comforted in every good word and work, explaining that God wants to expand a believer's heart the way a contractor enlarges a small shack into a mansion, even when the remodeling is painful.

Tracing Paul's Prayers Through The Epistles

Continuing his survey, Alamo moves through Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, reading Paul's repeated statements that he prays without ceasing for the saints, for Israel's salvation, and for spiritual gifts of wisdom and revelation among believers. He contrasts this outward-focused prayer life with people who only ask blessings for their immediate family, calling that kind of praying selfish, and emphasizes verses promising that God will supply every need and strengthen believers with might in the inner man. Alamo stresses that Paul asked congregations in Rome, Corinth, Ephesus, Colossae, and Philippi to pray for him specifically, framing this mutual intercession as the "unity of the body of Christ" rather than the religious unification he says the world and the Vatican are currently pushing. He tells listeners that permitting the Holy Spirit to work powerfully is the only way this truth becomes real insight rather than mere head knowledge.

Numbers Chapter Sixteen, A Vision, And A Sinner's Prayer

Alamo previews tomorrow's reading from the sixteenth chapter of Numbers, recounting how Dathan and others rebelled against Moses and Aaron and were swallowed into the earth or burned for approaching the Lord's temple without being chosen. He warns that going to church is no guarantee of safety from God's judgment, recalling Miriam being struck with leprosy for opposing Moses, and describes his own vision at the time of his salvation in which questions poured from his heart while answers flowed back from heaven faster than he could process them. Running low on time, Alamo leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart and promising forgiveness and assurance of salvation to anyone who prays it sincerely. Sharon then gives four ways to request program 295: the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, a phone number, and a fax number, and the broadcast closes with the choir's recording of "Teach Us to Pray."

World pastor Tony Alamo opens program 294 with a performance by H.B. Barnum's Life Choir, then teaches on the glorious prayer room, time and creation, rebukes televangelist Pat Robertson, and reads a testimony letter from a teenage convert in Ghana.

Opening Prayer Against Rome And The Vatican

Tony Alamo opens program 294, part 192 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners that Sharon will explain four ways to request a copy at the close of the hour. He leads an extended opening prayer thanking God for the privilege of prayer and asking the Lord to anoint the broadcast. Alamo prays against what he calls the Vatican, the Antichrist government, and the world media, blaming Rome for directing President Bush's decision to send additional troops to Iraq and for sponsoring television programs and the Cult Awareness Network that paint born-again Christians as dangerous. He accuses Rome of murdering people at Waco, bombing the World Trade Center and the Federal Building, and orchestrating Pearl Harbor, insisting Satan directs all of it from the Vatican. He closes the prayer asking that souls be saved and the church strengthened, and the congregation answers with a spoken amen before he introduces the coming music.

H.B. Barnum's Life Choir And The Prayer Room Teaching

Alamo introduces H.B. Barnum and his Life Choir, offering their recordings for a fifteen-dollar love gift, and the choir performs This Little Light of Mine. Returning to the microphone, Alamo tells the congregation that singing about letting one's light shine is easy compared to actually living it, and the congregation answers amen. He teaches that holiness and the power of God only show in a believer who stays close to what he calls the glorious prayer room, the place where the Holy Spirit fills a person with the spirit life needed to be a witness in a stormy, worsening world. He warns that without time spent in prayer, a Christian cannot carry God's influence into business dealings with the unsaved, and that the attitude of the prayer room, meaning holiness, must remain with a believer all day. He insists perfection is required to enter heaven, framing the prayer room as the source of that holiness.

Holiness, Marriage, And The Fishing Analogy

Alamo warns that churches preaching mere good behavior rather than a holy, Spirit-filled life grow larger but produce believers who fall away the moment temptation arrives, while his own congregation stays smaller because it insists on holiness. He singles out men in the church who pursue marriage more than the Lord, saying women can sense when a man's mind is on the flesh rather than God, and tells anyone seeking only a spouse to leave for a singles bar instead. Using the image of fishers of men, he argues that once the Lord pulls a person into the boat, like a caught fish, that person is meant to stay caught and be consumed entirely by the Holy Spirit. Alamo describes salvation as building a believer into a castle rather than a small cottage, requiring the Lord to tear down wicked thoughts and rotten imaginations, and insists that once saved, always saved is a lie, since he has watched married members in his own church commit adultery.

A Rebuke Of Pat Robertson And A Fasting Testimony

Alamo turns to a segment of Pat Robertson's television program in which a viewer asked whether to be concerned about a brother who prays and reads the Bible constantly, and Robertson answered yes. Alamo mocks Robertson's appearance and stutter, accuses him of siding with the Cult Awareness Network against Alamo's ministry during past legal trouble, and calls him a false prophet for predictions that never come true. He recalls Robertson once asking him to back a presidential run and his own refusal, saying ministers should not entangle themselves in worldly politics. Alamo then recounts his own forty-day, forty-night fast without food or water, ordered by the Lord after he spent ministry recording-session money on himself, describing how a light fixture crashed to the floor in front of his bare feet as a sign confirming the Lord's voice when he considered breaking the fast with a drink of water.

Teaching On Time, Creation, And The Law Of Growth

Shifting subjects, Alamo teaches that time itself began only with the creation of the world a little over six thousand years ago, rejecting scientists who date the Earth in the millions or hundreds of millions of years as liars working against the Gospel. He says he has seen Jesus Christ with his own eyes and received visions confirming that the King James Version is the most perfect Bible available. Alamo describes all living creatures as placed under a law of growth, arguing that a growing unborn child is proof of life and rejecting claims otherwise as deception he compares to Nazi Germany. He reflects that wisdom, business skill, and spiritual power all require time and patience to develop, criticizing young people and politicians alike for expecting shortcuts, and insists that a minister's highest calling is cultivating a daily, personal life of prayer rather than preaching alone.

A Letter From Ghana And A Closing Invitation

Alamo pauses his teaching so Sharon can read a letter from a fourteen-year-old boy named Emmanuel in Mamprobi-Accra, Ghana, who writes that a friend's copy of Alamo's literature turned his life from the evil way to God's way and asks for a Bible, the book Messiah, and more literature to keep him saved. Alamo returns to close his message on time and perseverance, warning listeners not to join what he calls the Antichrist mob mentality pushed by government and media. He leads the congregation in a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart and promising forgiveness and salvation to anyone who means it. Sharon then gives four ways to request a free copy of program 294: the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, a phone number, and a fax number. Alamo signs off promising to continue the message tomorrow, and the broadcast ends with H.B. Barnum's Life Choir performing Life's Prayer Song.

Teachings On Secrets Of The Prayer Room, Letters From Ghana And New Jersey, And A Song By H.B. Barnum's Life Choir

World pastor Tony Alamo opens program 293 with a performance by H.B. Barnum's Life Choir, then teaches a series of "secrets" for the prayer room, reads listener testimony letters from Ghana and New Jersey, and tells the story of his wife Sharon's healing from years of migraines.

Program 293 Opens With A Prayer For The Church

World pastor Tony Alamo opens program number 293, part 191 of his ongoing series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners to get a pen and paper ready because the broadcast holds testimonies, songs, and a message worth taking notes on. He leads the congregation to the throne of God, thanking the Lord for eternal life and the privilege of prayer, and asking that the service strengthen the church and save souls. The congregation answers with a spoken amen. Alamo then introduces H.B. Barnum, a longtime friend from his years in the music industry before both men were saved, describing Barnum as one of the finest arrangers and conductors in the world. He tells listeners Barnum wrote and conducts the coming song for his group, the Life Choir, titled "He Gave Me Life," setting up several minutes of music before he returns to teach.

A Choir Performance And A Pointed Warning

After the Life Choir performs "He Gave Me Life," Alamo tells listeners the six minutes of singing moved him more than a Passion Play he once watched, which he says was directed by an antisemitic filmmaker and filled with nuns. He warns anyone who holds anti-Jewish views to repent immediately, declaring that everyone will eventually kneel before Christ, whom he calls the world's greatest Jew and the King of kings, and that the unrighteous who hope to see believers destroyed will face vengeance. Alamo adds that his own death holds no fear for him, since he is certain he will go to a better place the moment he dies. He then promises the audience "secrets" from the prayer room, explaining that God hides golden truths from people who do not seek him, and that even hearing these secrets will mean nothing to listeners without the mind of Christ. The congregation answers amen as he transitions into his teaching.

Secrets Of The Glorious Prayer Room

Alamo begins his teaching proper, telling listeners that doing church work such as handling finances, carpentry, typing, or packaging tapes does not by itself earn entry into heaven; only keeping the Lord's commandments does, and the congregation answers amen. He describes people who come to him confessing they had neglected prayer until these messages pushed them back toward what he calls the "glorious prayer room," restoring the power to witness in the world. He credits one longtime member, Tommy Scarcella, who has been with the ministry for roughly 36 or 37 years, with asking him for fresh suggestions on spending quality time with the Lord rather than wasting it. Alamo promises to share these "secrets" of prayer, framing holiness as something that is only possible by staying continually before God's throne, and warning that deception and a spiritual cloud settle over anyone who steps away from that place, leaving them blind to their own sin.

Letters From Ghana, New Jersey, And Ancient Books

With the teaching paused, Alamo turns the broadcast over to his co-host to read listener letters, starting with one from Pastor John in Kade, Ghana, who describes opening a church and school in Alamo's name, baptizing new converts in the River Birim, and comparing Alamo's literature to "the net for the fish." Alamo responds that the Word of God is worth more than gold or rubies because the Word is Jesus himself. A second letter comes from Robert, a distributor in Jersey City, who read Alamo's testimony "Dry Bones" in the New York Daily News and requests The Book of Jasher and other "restored books." Alamo answers that Jasher and the Books of Enoch are quoted in the Bible yet were left out of the modern canon, which he blames on an unnamed Roman Catholic compiler, and goes on to explain that Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke, is the root tongue behind Hebrew much as English links England and the United States.

A Healing Story, Terri Schiavo, And A Prison Memory

Returning to his teaching on gratitude, Alamo tells the story of his wife Sharon suffering from migraine headaches for years, recalling that even his prayers over her did no good until the Lord told him the real problem was her own unthankfulness. He had her list out her blessings, her son, her marriage, her salvation, and once she began thanking God instead of merely enduring, the headaches stopped; Sharon confirms on air that she has not had one since, roughly fourteen years. Alamo contrasts that healing with the case of Terri Schiavo, saying he tried to reach her to pray for her recovery but was blocked, and accuses the government of starving her to death the way he says Germany once treated the suffering. He then recalls his own years in prison, describing how after about three years of doubt he cried out to God and heard two answers in return, "You're saved" and "You're going to heaven," words he says carried him through the rest of his sentence.

Closing Prayer Secrets And A Sinner's Prayer

Alamo closes out his prayer-room teaching by urging listeners to prepare their hearts before praying by reading scripture first, warning that an empty, unprepared heart produces only repetitive, selfish requests like asking blessings for mom, dad, and the kids. He tells listeners that true prayer looks outward toward pastors, missionaries, and the suffering church worldwide rather than inward, and that selfishness is "the death of prayer." Running out of time for the rest of his planned message, Alamo leads listeners through a spoken sinner's prayer, inviting Jesus into the heart and promising salvation to anyone who calls on the Lord's name. He then turns the broadcast over to his co-host, who gives four ways to request a free copy of program 293: the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, a phone number, and a fax number. Alamo signs off promising another strong message tomorrow, and the broadcast ends with H.B. Barnum's Life Choir performing "The Life Prayer Song."

Tony Alamo

Teachings On Holiness, Romans Chapter One, And A Testimony From Wood River, Illinois

World pastor Tony Alamo preaches program number 292 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, teaching on holiness, the story of a young man named Bill Levi, and Romans chapter one, with a song from Felix Springman and a closing hymn from Spade Cooley.

Program 292 Opens With A Prayer Against Rome And Satan

World pastor Tony Alamo opens program number 292, part 190 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners that Sharon will give four ways to request a free copy on tape or CD at the close of the hour. He previews a service built around music, testimonials, and Bible reading, then leads an extended opening prayer asking the Lord to anoint the broadcast and strengthen the church in the last days. Alamo prays for American soldiers in Iraq and in other wars he says are being secretly fought, and condemns what he calls the Rome-based cult and its one-world government and media for masking dictatorship as democracy and causing every evil on Earth. He asks that souls be saved and Satan's kingdom divided, insisting that believers are not a religion but salvationists continuing Christ's incarnation on Earth, and the congregation answers with a spoken amen.

Felix Springman Sings, And Alamo Teaches On Holiness

Alamo introduces singer Felix Springman's rendition of "Prepare Me One Body," explaining the song as a conversation between the Father and Jesus in heaven, with the Father asking for a blood-washed, spirit-filled body to preach that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. After the performance, Alamo returns to teaching that believers become holy only by staying close to the Lord and walking after the Spirit rather than the flesh, warning that a Christian without enough of God's spirit remains condemned by the flesh's desires. He turns to the subject of homosexuality, telling listeners it involves far more than two men having sex, promising to read the first chapter of Romans later in the hour to show what he calls its full nature. He insists homosexuality is a demonic condition rather than something God creates in a person, and that anyone, including homosexuals, can still be saved through being born again of the Spirit.

The Story Of Bill Levi And A Lawsuit's False Claim

Shifting to a real-world example, Alamo recalls a young man named Bill Levi who once carried a Bible insisting he only wanted a pure heart, whose parents were saved after hearing his testimony even though Levi had confessed to planning murder for hire before his conversion. Alamo says Levi's father, a sports editor at the New York Times, had him committed to a mental institution after threats against the family, and that Levi was genuinely saved for a time before falling back into drugs and homosexuality and turning against the church. He tells listeners that Levi later stood in a courtroom and falsely claimed Alamo kept two sets of financial books, a charge Alamo denies, saying he never worked in the office Levi described and that hundreds of witnesses could confirm it. Alamo uses the story to warn that "once saved, always saved" preaching is false, insisting he has watched many believers fall away over his decades of ministry.

Faith, Perseverance, And Staying Close To The Lord

Alamo builds an extended teaching on assurance, arguing that believers should expect the Lord's power daily rather than wondering whether they will remain faithful, since doubt itself amounts to calling God a liar. He cites Galatians chapter two, verse twenty, on living by the faith of the Son of God, and tells listeners that perfection is required to enter heaven, meaning total surrender rather than fear of holiness. Quoting Philippians chapter four, verse thirteen, "I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me," Alamo says the Lord's strength is shown in weakness, mentioning his own legal blindness as proof that physical limitation does not prevent spiritual clarity. He insists that staying in prayer without ceasing keeps a believer immune to temptation, warning that a conscience not regularly convicted becomes seared and vulnerable to Satan, and closes the passage by urging listeners to believe that all things are possible for those who draw near to God.

A Testimonial Letter From Wood River, Illinois

With time running short, Alamo turns the broadcast over to Sharon for testimonials, starting with a letter signed Paul from Wood River, Illinois, who opens by joking about the name Alamo and "remembering the Alamo" before turning serious. The writer says he read the article Dry Bones in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and now wants every publication the ministry offers, including the booklet Messiah, describing himself not as a lost soul but as a believer who wants to learn all he can before Jesus returns to what he calls a disgraceful world. Alamo responds that the man is simply trying to draw closer to the Lord so he can carry the Lord's power, noting that this broadcast is roughly the eighth or ninth message he has preached on knowing for certain that one carries the power of God, before telling Sharon it is time to move into the first chapter of Romans as promised earlier in the hour.

Romans Chapter One And A Closing Altar Call

Sharon reads Romans chapter one aloud from verse sixteen, and Alamo comments after nearly every verse, dwelling longest on the passage describing men and women who "burned in their lust one toward another" and calling the list that follows, including envy, murder, and deceit, a direct description of homosexuals and of unrighteous people generally. He argues that the United States government tolerates and even protects such behavior while threatening churches with the loss of tax-exempt status, blaming what he again calls a Rome-fashioned government for the trend. As the hour closes, Alamo leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart to wash away sin, telling listeners that scripture guarantees salvation the moment they call on the Lord's name. Sharon then gives the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, phone number, and fax number for anyone requesting a free copy of program two hundred ninety-two, and the broadcast ends with a recording of Spade Cooley's "Steal Away to Jesus."

Teachings On Prayer Without Ceasing, The Seven Churches Of Revelation, And The Wretched Man Of Romans Seven

World pastor Tony Alamo preaches on unceasing prayer as the key to a victorious Christian life, works through Christ's promises to the seven churches of Revelation and Paul's struggle with sin in Romans, and closes program 291 with a sinner's prayer and two of his own hymns.

Program Opens With A Prayer For Ceaseless Prayer

World pastor Tony Alamo opens program number 291, part 189 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners to have paper and pencil ready and to request the program by its number. He previews music, testimonials, Bible reading, and a strong message, promising the broadcast is one listeners will want to play over and over through the years. Alamo leads an opening prayer asking the Lord to impress on every listener, saved and unsaved, the sinfulness of not praying, explaining that a spiritual life is impossible without an unceasing prayer life and that neglecting prayer breaks every commandment at once. He asks the Lord to let the message enter the minds, hearts, and souls of everyone in radioland so they may enter the kingdom of God, and prays for souls to be saved and the church strengthened, closing in Jesus' name as the congregation answers with a spoken amen.

Tony Alamo Sings Stand By Me

After the opening prayer, Alamo tells listeners he will sing a song called "Stand by Me" and performs it in full before returning to the microphone. Coming back from the music, he teaches that a victorious, spiritual life is real but can only come through a prayerful life, citing the Apostle Paul's instruction to pray without ceasing. He tells listeners this victorious life is found only in Jesus, not in Muhammad or Buddha, because Jesus alone was crucified for the sins of the world and rose again, and because the same Spirit that raised him promises that believers will also rise. Alamo describes Jesus as the glorified One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit, insisting that all power in heaven and earth belongs to him alone, and tells listeners that anyone wanting abundant power has to be in Jesus, since no one else can supply it, before turning to how a Christian actually lives that overcoming life day by day.

Reproof And The Letters To The Seven Churches

Alamo teaches that the prayer life is bound up intimately with the entire spirit life, so that no prayer life means no spirit life, leaving a person open to Satan's temptations the moment they walk out the door. He explains that being born again does not make someone prayerful automatically, and that believers must grow in grace, which he defines as power, by praying until they reach the fullness of the stature of the Lord Jesus Christ, the same fullness that kept Jesus himself untemptable. Turning to the Book of Revelation, Alamo walks through the promises Christ gives "him that overcometh" in chapters two and three, citing Proverbs 6:23 on the reproof of the word, and rebukes three of the seven churches by name: Ephesus for losing its first love, Sardis for having a name that it lives while being spiritually dead, and Laodicea for a lukewarmness and self-satisfaction that the Lord threatens to spew from his mouth unless its members repent.

The Knowledge Of Sin And Romans Chapter Seven

Alamo teaches that forgiveness requires first knowing what sin actually is, pointing to Eve's single forbidden tree and then listing sins the Bible names directly, including incest, adultery, fornication, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, thievery, lying, covetousness, and failing to love God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength. He cites Romans 3:19 on every mouth being stopped and the whole world becoming guilty before God, insisting a hundred-percent prayer life is the only path to a hundred-percent spiritual life. Moving into Romans chapter seven, Alamo walks through Paul's description of finding no good thing in the flesh and crying out, "O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death," explaining that this struggle goes deeper than the relief felt at conversion, since the saved spirit still lives inside a body already familiar with sin, and genuine victory only comes with time, experience, and growing closer to the Lord day by day.

A Deeper Surrender And A Warning To Novice Teachers

Alamo continues through Romans chapter eight, reading that "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" has made him free from the law of sin and death, and testifying that staying close to the Lord in prayer day and night keeps that law from having any pull on him at all. He tells the congregation that a believer must reach an entirely new surrender, warning that anyone still being battered and torn by sin simply has not yet made that surrender or looked into scripture to see how sinful it is not to pray. Alamo rebukes ministers who preach only the hopelessness of Romans seven without reaching chapter eight's promise of deliverance through Christ, calling such preachers novices who throw people's souls toward hell by teaching that no one can keep God's commandments, and quotes the instruction to "suffer not a novice to preach," warning that teachers who have not lived close to the Lord fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

A Sinner's Prayer, Contact Information, And A Closing Hymn

As program number 291 nears its end, Alamo tells listeners that faith in the whole, resurrected Christ, not in themselves, is the only way to become "more than conquerors" as Romans 8:37 promises, and that the Lord never fails those who are striving for perfection. He leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting listeners to confess belief that Jesus is the Son of God, that he died and rose for the forgiveness of sins, and to ask Jesus into their hearts to wash their sins away, telling them that if they prayed it sincerely they can know they are saved. Alamo asks listeners to raise their hands and thank the Lord, then turns the broadcast over to Sharon, who gives the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, and a phone and fax number for requesting a free copy of program 291. Alamo closes by promising tomorrow's conclusion of the message and sings "I'll Walk with God" to end the broadcast.
