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.
