Ep208, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 106, Finding Peace, Purpose, and Salvation in the Kingdom of God

A Warning About False Prophets and the Last Days

The episode opens with Pastor Tony Alamo introducing program 208, part 106 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You. He explains that listeners may request a free copy of the program on CD or audio tape, then moves into a sermon about what he describes as widespread false teaching, spiritual deception, and the urgency of the last days. He frames the current state of the world as evidence that humanity needs clear spiritual direction.

Fear, Depression, and the Need for Spiritual Purpose

A major theme of the sermon is the fear and anxiety Pastor Alamo says many people feel because of war, nuclear threats, unstable leadership, and the failure of worldly systems to create peace. He contrasts that uncertainty with the peace he says comes from accepting Jesus Christ and living on the straight and narrow path. In his view, God gives every person a purpose, and life becomes fearful and unstable when that purpose is ignored.

Salvation, Eternal Life, and the Reality of Heaven and Hell

Pastor Alamo spends a significant portion of the program describing salvation, heaven, hell, and the eternal condition of the soul. He teaches that accepting Christ brings an immediate awareness of God’s reality and the hope of eternal life. He also warns that future sin after receiving the truth is spiritually dangerous, presenting salvation as something that must be followed by obedience, faith, and perseverance.

Letters From Listeners and Global Ministry Outreach

The program includes listener responses from Brooklyn, Harlem, Uganda, and Kenya. These letters and witnessing accounts describe the distribution of ministry literature, requests for more teaching materials, and appreciation for the ministry’s message. Pastor Alamo responds by emphasizing the importance of international evangelism, literature distribution, and the encouragement he receives from reports of people being reached around the world.

The Kingdom of God, Spiritual Power, and Obedience

The teaching returns repeatedly to the idea that the kingdom of God is meant to be lived on earth through believers who allow Christ to work in them. Pastor Alamo says that Christians are meant to reflect God, continue the work of Christ, and live under the power of God’s word. He also argues that obedience, faith, and fear of God are necessary for staying on the path of salvation.

Closing Prayer, Contact Information, and Final Appeal

Near the end, Pastor Alamo leads listeners in a prayer of salvation, asking them to confess sin, believe in Jesus Christ, and invite Christ into their hearts. Sharon then provides the ministry’s website, mailing address, phone number, and fax number for listeners who want a copy of the program. Pastor Alamo closes by encouraging listeners to continue in the Lord and return for the next part of the series.

Ep207, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 105, Servants, Sons, and the Discipline of Spiritual Growth

Letters From Across the World

The episode opens with Pastor Tony Alamo introducing part 105 of “How to Have God’s Life Living in You,” program 207, and explaining that the program can be requested free of charge on CD or audio tape. Sharon reads letters from listeners in Kenya, Zambia, Chile, and Uganda, each expressing appreciation for the ministry’s broadcasts, literature, and teaching. The letters also request Bibles, Christian literature, tapes, videos, and other ministry materials for local missionary work.

A Sermon Against False Doctrine

Alamo frames the program as a response to what he calls false doctrine, especially a teaching he attributes to a preacher from Fort Lauderdale who, according to Alamo, mishandled Galatians chapter 3 and taught wrongly about sons and servants. Alamo argues that believers may be called sons of God, but must also remain obedient as servants under spiritual authority while they mature. He repeatedly contrasts what he presents as biblical teaching with the views of preachers he describes as immature, heretical, or not fully instructed.

Jesus as Son, Servant, and Example

A central theme of the sermon is Alamo’s claim that Jesus, though the Son of God, learned obedience through suffering and grew into full spiritual maturity. He cites and discusses Hebrews, Luke, and Galatians to argue that Jesus’ earthly life demonstrated obedience, growth, suffering, and eventual perfection. Alamo applies this same pattern to believers, saying they must continue growing in wisdom, stature, discipline, obedience, and spiritual maturity.

The Kingdom, Authority, and Obedience

Alamo presents the Christian life as citizenship in the kingdom of heaven, with believers described as sons, servants, kings, priests, and spiritual rulers under God’s authority. He emphasizes obedience to God, to spiritual leadership, and to what he describes as the rules of the kingdom. He also warns against rebellion, arguing, fighting with church leaders, or living according to worldly systems while claiming to belong to God’s kingdom.

Work, Grace, and Spiritual Discipline

The sermon strongly rejects the idea that Christian life means inactivity or resting from all spiritual work. Alamo interprets “take my yoke upon you” as a call to participate in the work of Christ, while also saying that the Holy Spirit makes that work easy and light. He speaks about discipline, resisting sin, controlling the flesh, rejecting lust, and striving for perfection while remaining led by the Spirit rather than relying on religious rule-keeping alone.

Invitation, Contact Information, and Closing Appeal

Near the end, Alamo invites listeners to become born again, describing salvation as adoption into God’s family and entry into the commonwealth of the Lord. He leads listeners through a salvation prayer, then asks Sharon to provide contact information for receiving a copy of the message. The program closes with Alamo saying the series will continue with part 106 and urging listeners to glorify God by letting Him live and work through them.

Ep206, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 104, Living Under the Kingdom: Service, Obedience, and the Commonwealth of God

The Kingdom as the Central Message

The episode centers on Pastor Tony Alamo’s teaching about what he calls the kingdom of God and the contrast between that kingdom and the kingdoms of the world. He frames the kingdom of God as a commonwealth ruled by the King of Kings, where members submit to God’s commandments, statutes, and precepts. In his view, believers are called to be kings under God, not in the sense of worldly domination, but in the sense of leading others into righteousness and into the benefits of God’s kingdom.

Worldly Systems, Poverty, and Oppression

A major theme of the message is the speaker’s criticism of political and economic systems that he says oppress ordinary people. He describes democracy, wealth, taxation, inflation, low income, rising medicine costs, and social inequality as evidence of worldly kingdoms that burden people rather than care for them. He presents these conditions as a sharp contrast to the kingdom of God, which he says provides for the needs of its people through obedience, shared responsibility, and spiritual order.

Leadership, Instruction, and Responsibility

The speaker repeatedly argues that those who are already part of the church have a duty to teach others. He criticizes church members who enjoy the benefits of the ministry but do not instruct new believers, children, or people in need of guidance. He uses examples involving his daughter’s diet, people handing out literature poorly, and a drummer disobeying musical instruction to illustrate his view that spiritual leadership requires correction, teaching, discipline, and responsibility.

Seeing Jesus Through Believers

Another strong thread in the sermon is the idea that people in the world will only be drawn to God if they see Jesus living through believers. The speaker says sinners should not be hated, insulted, or treated as hopeless, because they are people who have not yet been properly shown the true King. He warns that calling people names, condemning them harshly, or failing to model Christlike behavior will not bring them into the kingdom of God.

Protection, Judgment, and Obedience

The episode also includes discussion of divine protection and judgment. The speaker describes God’s kingdom as having a defense system, including the heavenly host, and says God protects those who belong to Him. At the same time, he warns that disobedience, worldliness, neglecting commandments, and refusing to do God’s work can lead to spiritual danger. He presents obedience as necessary for receiving the kingdom’s blessings, including provision, protection, health, and eternal life.

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.

White Raiment, Heavenly Thrones, and the Call to Overcome

Sermon 760B

A Message From the Archives

This episode presents an archived sermon from Pastor Tony Alamo, introduced by Help from Christ Ministries. The message continues Tony Alamo’s teaching through the book of Revelation, beginning with Christ’s counsel to “buy” gold tried in the fire, white raiment, and eye salve. Alamo interprets these images as a call for believers to gain spiritual experience through resisting Satan, enduring trials, seeing through spiritual deception, and learning to view reality through the Word of God rather than through worldly attractions or carnal thinking.

Gold Tried in the Fire and White Raiment

Alamo teaches that being “tried in the fire” means going through spiritual conflict, tribulation, rebuke, correction, and discipline so that believers can become spiritually rich. He links white raiment to purity, obedience, and being without spot or blemish before God. He warns against what he describes as lawless versions of love that excuse sin, arguing instead that biblical love means keeping God’s commandments. In this framework, rebuke and chastening are not rejection, but evidence that God is shaping those He loves.

Repentance, Spiritual Sight, and Christian Conduct

The sermon places strong emphasis on repentance and practical obedience. Alamo tells listeners to stop acting according to their own understanding and instead submit to what he presents as the rightly divided Word of God. He advises believers not to become obnoxious or argumentative when preaching, saying that if people reject the message, Christians should move on rather than force the issue. He also warns against confrontations with police or property owners, urging believers to comply, leave when told, and pursue any legal response through proper channels rather than through conflict.

Christ at the Door and the Bread of Life

Alamo then turns to Revelation’s image of Christ standing at the door and knocking. He interprets the door as the heart and teaches that Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit desire to enter the believer so that God may live and work through them. He describes “supping” with Christ as learning the Word of God, eating the bread of life, and receiving spiritual understanding that cannot be grasped by a merely carnal mind. For Alamo, true Christianity requires dying out to self so that Christ can live within the believer.

Overcoming and Sitting With Christ

The message continues into Revelation’s promise that those who overcome will sit with Christ on His throne. Alamo teaches that overcoming means resisting Satan, abandoning carnal thinking, and remaining spiritually connected to God while still living on Earth. He compares this connection to a diver receiving air and communication from a ship above, or to a long-distance call in which the believer cannot see God but can still speak with Him and hear from Him. He emphasizes that faithful believers are united with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and are called to sit with Christ in heavenly places.

Revelation Chapter Four and the Heavenly Throne

Alamo moves into Revelation chapter four, describing John’s vision of heaven, the throne, the one seated on it, the rainbow like an emerald, the twenty-four elders in white raiment with golden crowns, lightning, thunder, voices, the seven lamps of fire, the sea of glass, and the four living creatures. He stresses that heaven is a place of holiness and purity where no one enters with spotted or blemished garments. He interprets the imagery as spiritually meaningful and says believers need teachers, preachers, evangelists, and prophets to help explain such mysteries.

Letters, Salvation, and the Closing Appeal

The program closes with listener letters from New York and Abidjan, Ivory Coast, including a request for literature and the Messiah book, and another letter seeking spiritual instruction and help for a prayer group facing occult customs, sorcery, Islam, and cults. Alamo responds by describing the world as deceived and hostile toward true Christians, then urges listeners to be born again of the Spirit. The broadcast ends with a sinner’s prayer, contact information for obtaining the program and ministry materials, and Alamo’s closing promise of another message from the Word of God.

Citizens of the Kingdom: Obedience, Worship, and the Power to Stay in God’s Life

Ep205 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 103

Continuing the Teaching on God’s Life Within the Believer

In this episode of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, World Pastor Tony Alamo presents part 103 of the series and program 205, continuing his teaching on salvation, obedience, the kingdom of God, worship, and the need for Christ’s life to live and work inside the believer. He opens by saying that although he prepares some material, he wants the Lord to guide the broadcast by the Spirit and direct the message to those listening around the world. The episode includes listener letters, ministry updates, teaching from Hebrews, and a closing prayer for salvation.

Letters From Africa, the Philippines, and Beyond

The program begins with several responses from listeners who say the radio broadcast has helped their spiritual lives. A listener from Uganda says the program has brought joy, light, and a life focused on Jesus. A minister from West Africa thanks the ministry for preaching what he calls the raw and undiluted Word of God and asks for Bibles and study materials. A listener from Manila thanks Alamo for offering programming that parents can allow their children to hear without fear of worldly content, while other letters from Nigeria and South Africa express gratitude for spiritual encouragement and request Christian materials.

The Kingdom of Heaven and the Duty to Obey the King

Alamo uses the listener letters to move into a broader teaching about the kingdom of heaven. He argues that believers are not of this world’s kingdoms, but of a heavenly kingdom, and that citizens of that kingdom must obey its King. He says people cannot partake of the blessings of God’s kingdom while ignoring God’s commandments. He contrasts worldly desires, pride, and disobedience with the call to discipline oneself through the Word of God, warning that those who claim Christianity but continue in darkness are not walking in the light.

Blessings, Discipline, and the Common Wealth of the Kingdom

A major theme of the sermon is that the kingdom of heaven includes both blessings and discipline. Alamo describes a “common wealth” of believers, saying that those who belong to the kingdom share in God’s protection, provision, healing, and spiritual defense. He says God sends angels and heavenly help to protect those who obey Him, while those who disregard His commandments may experience correction. He also discusses ministry giving, saying that when he hears of needs such as hunger in Africa, he believes he must respond because ignoring those needs would displease God.

Corporate Worship and Entering the Heavenly Presence

The teaching then returns to the subject of worshiping together. Alamo says corporate worship is not merely preparation for heaven, but a present participation in heavenly worship. Drawing from Hebrews 12, he describes believers coming to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, the company of angels, the church of the firstborn, and Jesus as mediator of the new covenant. He teaches that when believers gather, pray, and worship in obedience, they enter spiritually into the presence of God and join the worship already taking place around His throne.

Christ Greater Than Angels and the Power of the Word

Alamo continues into Hebrews chapter 1, emphasizing that Jesus Christ is greater than the angels and is the Son through whom God created and sustains the universe. He teaches that Christ reflects God’s glory, represents God exactly, upholds all things by the power of His Word, and has been seated in honor at God’s right hand. Alamo applies this to believers by saying that the same Word that upholds the universe can uphold those who read, believe, and obey it. He repeatedly stresses that merely hearing the Word is not enough; believers must do what it says.

Salvation, Repentance, and Remaining in the Kingdom

The episode closes with Alamo urging listeners to become children and citizens of the kingdom of God by receiving Christ, rejecting the kingdoms of this world, and walking in the Spirit. He warns that ignorance of God’s Word leads people to perish, while knowledge of the Word gives believers strength and protection. He leads listeners in a salvation prayer, asking God to wash away former sins through the blood of Jesus, forgive sins of ignorance when repented of, and make the listener a new creature in Christ. The program ends with contact information for receiving free tapes or CDs and a preview of part 104.

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.

Ep203, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 101, Seeing Jesus Through Hebrews, Worship, and the Sustaining Power of the Word

Six-Paragraph Summary

A Prayer for God’s Word to Take Over the Message

Tony Alamo opens program 203 as part 101 of “How to Have God’s Life Living in You.” He explains that listeners can receive the program, Bibles, literature, tapes, and related materials free of charge. He then prays that God will take over his vessel, mouth, and tongue so the program will teach listeners how to be saved and how to have God living in them. The opening prayer uses the image of a wise man building on solid rock, which Alamo identifies as reading and doing the Word of God.

Letters from Zambia, Mexico, and India

The program includes letters from Zambia, Mexico, and India. A writer from Mansa, Zambia praises the ministry’s literature and asks for Bibles, literature, and possible help with a church building, explaining that the congregation is using a school classroom. Alamo responds by describing the humble beginnings of his own ministry in a former dope den and advises gratitude for any place to preach. A brief letter from Tabasco, Mexico praises the radio messages, while a letter from India thanks the ministry for newsletters and Bibles used in evangelism.

Remembering the Early Hippie Church

In response to the Zambia letter, Alamo tells a long story about the early days of his ministry with Sue. He describes preaching in a former dope den, seeing hippies and drug users converted, and being known as a “hippie church.” He says the converts were filled with the Holy Spirit and describes conflict with police officers who misunderstood what was happening. He also recounts seeking support from churches, missions, and supermarkets, and says the ministry began with little but eventually expanded after years of struggle.

Hebrews and the Desire to See Jesus

The main teaching section shifts to the book of Hebrews, centered on the phrase “Sir, I would see Jesus.” Sharon reads prepared material about Hebrews, and Alamo expands on it by saying the book helps believers see Jesus more clearly. He teaches that Jesus is the wisdom and power of God, the author and finisher of faith, and the one on whom faith depends from start to finish. He also repeats his view that Paul wrote Hebrews, while saying the true author is Jesus because the Word of God is divine.

Worship, the Word, and the New Covenant

Alamo teaches that worship depends on focusing on God’s Word, which he describes as God’s majesty, power, sacrifice for sin, and sustaining force. He says Christ’s intercession allows believers to enter God’s presence and rejects the idea that Mary can serve as an intercessor. The sermon also contrasts the old covenant with the new covenant, arguing that Jesus, as the superior and enduring high priest after the order of Melchizedek, opened the heavenly sanctuary and gives believers sustaining power through the Word.

The Humanity of Jesus and the Closing Salvation Prayer

The final portion emphasizes Hebrews 2, especially the claim that Jesus took part in human flesh and blood. Alamo uses this to argue against ministers who say Jesus had “the blood of God,” saying instead that Jesus had human flesh and human blood while being upheld by the Spirit. He teaches that Christ’s death broke the devil’s power and made it possible for believers to overcome sin through God’s Spirit. The program closes with a salvation prayer, a request for listeners to report if they were saved, and Sharon’s instructions for receiving tape number 203.

Ep202, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 100, The Word Made Flesh, the Power to Overcome Sin, and the Call to Endure

Six-Paragraph Summary

Hebrews as the Center of the Message

Tony Alamo opens program 202 by identifying it as part 100 of “How to Have God’s Life Living in You.” He says the episode will expose what he calls heresy among prominent ministers and focuses heavily on the book of Hebrews. He argues that Paul wrote Hebrews and says the book must be understood as the Word of God rather than merely as Paul’s personal language or style. This framing sets up the rest of the episode as a doctrinal argument about Christ’s humanity, obedience, holiness, and the believer’s need to overcome sin.

Christ’s Flesh, Blood, and Victory Over Sin

The central scripture reading comes from Hebrews 2:14 and Hebrews 2:17. Alamo emphasizes that Jesus partook of the same flesh and blood as humanity, arguing that Christ had human flesh, human blood, and human bone while also having the Spirit of God in Him. He uses this interpretation to teach that Jesus overcame sin in the flesh, and that believers who have Christ living in them can also overcome sin. This becomes his main argument against any teaching that suggests people are inherently unable to live in obedience to God.

Direct Criticism of Other Ministers

Alamo strongly criticizes Reverend Hagey and Charles Stanley, accusing them of teaching doctrines he considers false. He objects to claims that Jesus had “the blood of God” rather than human blood, and he also rejects the doctrine that all past, present, and future sins are forgiven regardless of continued obedience. He frames such teaching as lawlessness and warns that people who preach it are misleading souls. These claims are presented in the transcript as Alamo’s own doctrinal judgments and warnings.

The Spirit, the Word, and the Power to Endure

Throughout the sermon, Alamo connects the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and the power to endure to the end. He argues that God upholds all things by the word of His power and applies that idea to believers, saying they too can be upheld if they submit to God and remain in His Word. He teaches that reading scripture, believing it, praying without ceasing, and remaining steadfast are essential to having God’s life living in a person. He also repeatedly warns against unbelief, which he describes as the central sin that prevents salvation.

Angels, Ministers, Visions, and Spiritual Warfare

Alamo discusses angels as “ministering winds” or spirits and says both angels and people have wills. He uses this to argue that believers must choose to believe scripture and resist Satan. He also tells a personal story about praying for a woman named Verna, whom he describes as demon-possessed, connecting that story to the biblical account of Legion. These sections reinforce the episode’s themes of spiritual warfare, demonic deception, the need to study scripture, and the danger of false ministers.

The Salvation Prayer and Closing Appeal

Near the end, Alamo turns the sermon into a direct appeal for listeners to receive Christ as their personal Savior. He leads a salvation prayer, asking listeners to confess belief in Jesus as the Son of God, His death on the cross, His shed blood, and His resurrection by the Holy Spirit. Sharon then gives contact information for receiving the audio tape, CD, Bible, or literature free of charge. Alamo closes by urging listeners to continue with the next program on Hebrews and to remain controlled by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God.

Ep201, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 99, Building a Life on the Word, Obedience, and Spiritual Renewal

Six-Paragraph Summary

Opening Prayer and a Warning About Authority

Tony Alamo begins program 201 by identifying it as part 99 of “How to Have God’s Life Living in You.” He opens with a prayer asking God to pour out wisdom, knowledge, and understanding through him. The prayer strongly emphasizes submission to spiritual authority, warning that people who defy the authority Alamo says God has placed over them are in danger spiritually. He also rejects the doctrine of “once saved, always saved” and frames the program as a message intended to expose Satan through the Word of God.

Letters from Mexico, Scotland, India, and Kenya

The program includes several letters from listeners and ministry contacts. A writer from Ensenada, Mexico thanks the ministry for literature and “The Messiah” book and requests more Bibles, literature, tapes, T-shirts, and sweatshirts for distribution. A writer from Glasgow, Scotland thanks the ministry for literature and T-shirts. Another letter from Manipur, India describes a desire to establish a worship center and Alamo Christian Church in Imphal City. A letter from Kenya says the ministry’s literature has influenced people there and asks for Bibles for new believers.

The Call to Do the Gospel, Not Only Hear It

After the letters, Alamo says that preaching, reading the Bible, and praying are necessary, but not enough by themselves. He insists that what believers read, they must also do. He argues that Jesus’ statement “It is finished” refers to the completion of the plan and way of salvation, not permission for believers to stop obeying God. This becomes one of the central themes of the episode: Alamo repeatedly teaches that salvation must be shown through obedience, works, and allowing Christ to continue His work through the believer.

A Personal Story About Fasting and Fear of God

Alamo recounts a long personal story from his early years as a Christian, when he says God commanded him to fast without food or water until a recording session was completed. He describes intense thirst, heat, mice entering his house, and an incident in which a light bulb allegedly fell as a sign when he was tempted to drink water. He uses the story to illustrate his view that God can command difficult obedience, that God may threaten judgment, and that believers should fear disobeying divine instruction.

Examples of Ministry Help and Practical Service

The sermon includes several examples of what Alamo presents as practical obedience to the gospel. He describes sending cake and tofu ice cream to a rebuked church member and her husband, sending someone to visit an imprisoned ministry member in Chicago, helping prisoners, hiring attorneys, providing money and Bibles, and assisting people in danger or distress. He connects these acts to biblical commands to visit prisoners, feed the hungry, and help those in need, while also saying he does not extend the same kind of support to people he believes are actively opposing the ministry.

Luke 6, Fruit, Foundations, and the Salvation Prayer

The scripture reading centers on Luke 6, especially the teaching that every tree is known by its fruit and that a person who hears and obeys Christ is like a man who builds a house on a rock. Alamo interprets the passage as a warning that Christians must produce visible obedience and works. He criticizes doctrines that say Christ has forgiven all past, present, and future sins regardless of obedience. The episode closes with a call to be born again, a salvation prayer, and instructions for listeners to request program 201 by mail, phone, fax, or the ministry website.
