Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries Opening the Ninety-First Teaching on God’s Life Within Ep193 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 91 Opening the Ninety-First Teaching on God’s Life Within In this episode, Tony Alamo introduces part 91 of the series How to Have God’s Life Living in You, identified as tape/program 193. He tells listeners they can request copies of the program at no charge and urges supporters to tithe to the ministry, saying the ministry is distributing free Bibles and religious materials in places such as China, Africa, and India. He frames the work as soul-winning and spiritual follow-up, saying that the ministry is not only bringing people to Christ but also feeding them with the Word of God. Letters From Malawi, Arkansas, and Benin The program includes several letters from listeners and ministry contacts. A letter from Malawi thanks the ministry for sending a Bible, The Messiah book, and newsletters, saying people there have changed after reading the materials and requesting more literature and audio/video messages. A letter from Fort Smith, Arkansas describes a couple returning to the Lord after finding a newsletter in a hospital parking lot and visiting the church. A third letter from Benin, Africa thanks Tony Alamo for accepting the writer into the ministry’s soul-winning work and describes people bringing charms and idols to be burned after reading the literature. Free Literature, Local Churches, and the Work of Evangelism Tony repeatedly emphasizes the distribution of newsletters, The Messiah book, tapes, Bibles, and other ministry materials as a central evangelistic tool. He tells listeners around the world that they can distribute the literature, open Bible studies or churches in homes or businesses, and participate in the same spiritual rewards by helping win souls. At the same time, when the Benin writer asks for help acquiring land, buildings, instruments, and church property, Tony explains that early ministry often begins small and difficult, and that pastors and congregations should work, give, and build gradually rather than expect immediate outside funding. Going Through Fire Before Greater Use A major theme in Tony’s commentary is that hardship can be part of spiritual refinement. He tells the Arkansas couple not to be discouraged by difficult circumstances, but to pray, trust God, and remain patient. He says even Jesus was tested, and that believers may go through “fire” so God can refine them and make them more useful. Tony applies this to his own life as well, describing times of poverty, struggle, and humble beginnings in ministry, including living in very poor conditions before the ministry expanded. Tony and Susan’s Early Ministry Journey Tony recounts his early salvation experience and relationship with Susan, saying God supernaturally brought them together and showed them they were to be married. He describes giving up his former entertainment-industry life, taking humble work at a motel, living with very little money, and later beginning ministry work in modest rented places. He speaks about Susan’s illness and weakness, their move to small living quarters, and the way the ministry began in simple surroundings before growing. His point is that ministry should begin with obedience and sacrifice rather than immediately seeking property, buildings, and status. Buster’s Vision of Heaven, Hell, and a Life Changed The centerpiece of the program is Buster’s testimony. Buster says he received The Messiah book from ministry members and later had a supernatural vision in his home in Texarkana on June 20, 2003. He describes seeing two planets: one filled with good people and one filled with rotten people. The second planet became a ball of fire with screaming human heads, and Buster connects the sound to traumatic memories from childhood of hearing hogs squealing in a slaughterhouse. He says the experience terrified him and that God told him he was not going to the good planet “the way you are.” Four Instructions and Immediate Changes Buster says the voice gave him four instructions: read God’s Word daily, pray continually, sin no more, and tell others about the Lord whenever the door opens. After that experience, he says several habits and physical conditions changed dramatically. He reports that he stopped smoking without withdrawal, no longer needed high-blood-pressure medication, stopped cursing, and developed a deep hunger for Scripture. He says he began attending church seven nights a week and reading the Bible for seven or eight hours a night, receiving what he describes as supernatural zeal for the Word of God and evangelism. From Skeptics to Sing-Ins: Witnessing to Prominent Locals Tony and Buster discuss how many of Buster’s friends and acquaintances initially mocked his involvement with the ministry. Buster says these included attorneys, judges, district attorneys, politicians, restaurant owners, and other prominent people around Texarkana. He recounts being challenged about the Ten Commandments at a luncheon and responding by reciting them in order and citing Exodus 20. Over time, Tony and Buster say many of these people became more open to the ministry, attended sing-ins, talked about the Bible, and expressed support for the preaching and the work being done. Miracles, Assignments, and International Oversight Tony praises Buster as someone he believes God sent in answer to prayer, describing him as dependable, zealous, and useful for ministry assignments. They discuss Buster being sent to different places, including Fort Smith, Texarkana, Los Angeles, New Jersey, and possibly Africa, India, the Philippines, and China. Buster recounts a New Jersey trip where he and another brother prayed for guidance and quickly found a facility that reportedly saved the ministry large sums of money. Tony presents these experiences as examples of what happens when someone fully surrenders to God’s direction. Consecration, Healing, and the Closing Prayer Near the end, Tony returns to the theme of consecration and says that Christ’s suffering, death, and blood paid for salvation, healing, and blessing. He argues that believers must receive what God has provided, fully surrender, and live in obedience. He closes by leading listeners in a salvation prayer, inviting them to confess belief in Jesus Christ, ask forgiveness, and receive Christ into their hearts. The program ends with instructions for requesting free copies of the message through the ministry website, mailing address, phone, or fax, and Tony says the next program will continue with part 92.
