Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries Warnings, Witnesses, and Consecration: Tony Alamo on False Teachers, Evangelism, and God’s Life Within Ep190 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 88 Tony Alamo Opens Part 88 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You In this archival episode, host Tony Alamo introduces Part 88 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, identified as Program 190. He tells listeners that copies of the program are available for free on tape or CD and opens with a prayer asking God to anoint the broadcast, open listeners’ spiritual ears, save souls, and strengthen the church. Alamo also warns that new believers should not rush into teaching ministry before being trained, saying they need to learn under elders, tutors, and spiritual governors before attempting to instruct others. Listener Letter from Colombia and the Call to Distribute Literature Alamo reads a letter from Buenaventura, Colombia, where a group of 42 adults and 15 children had received and distributed ministry literature. The writer says many people responded positively and that several needed Bibles, T-shirts, sweatshirts, and more literature for distribution. Alamo uses the letter to encourage listeners around the world to become distributors of his ministry materials. He says people may not feel called to preach, but they are still called to evangelize, and he presents literature distribution as one way for ordinary believers to participate in soul-winning. Warning Against Sin After Salvation Alamo then turns to one of his recurring themes: the danger of willful sin after salvation. He says that if people knowingly and willingly commit sin, they risk hell and the lake of fire, but if they sin ignorantly and repent, Jesus can serve as their advocate with the Father. He refers to Romans 8 and says there is no condemnation for those who walk after the Spirit rather than after the flesh. In his view, the Christian life requires continued obedience, repentance, and walking in the Spirit. Matthew 24 and False Prophets A major scriptural focus is Matthew 24, where Jesus warns about deception, false prophets, wars, rumors of wars, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, and the end of the age. Alamo has the passage read and emphasizes Jesus’ command to “take heed” that no one deceive believers. He strongly rejects teachings such as “once saved, always saved” unless a person continues walking in the Spirit to the end. Alamo presents false prophets as one of the major signs of the end times and repeatedly urges listeners to read Scripture for themselves. Israel, Prophecy, and End-Time Events Alamo discusses Israel, Jerusalem, Palestinians, Russia, Arab nations, and biblical prophecy. He connects modern events to his understanding of the end times and says the return of Jews to Israel in 1948 was one of the final prophetic signs. He also talks about wars and conflicts surrounding Israel as evidence that the world is moving deeper into the last days. Throughout this section, he frames current events through his interpretation of biblical prophecy and urges listeners to recognize the signs. Famine, Disease, Earthquakes, and Global Suffering Continuing through Matthew 24, Alamo discusses famine, pestilence, disease, earthquakes, and suffering in Africa and elsewhere. He mentions sending financial support to ministries helping starving children and says he wants to verify conditions directly through people connected to his ministry. He refers to AIDS, bird flu fears, starvation, and a recent earthquake in Indonesia as examples of global distress. Alamo presents these events as part of the “beginning of sorrows” described by Jesus. Criticism of Media, Government, and Religious Figures As in the previous episodes, Alamo strongly criticizes government, media, Catholic leadership, public officials, and religious broadcasters he believes are misleading people. He argues that media polls, political speech controls, and religious compromise reflect an anti-Christ system. He also criticizes certain public religious figures for supporting leaders or views he considers spiritually false. The summary should keep these claims clearly attributed to Alamo, because they are part of his sermon rhetoric and interpretation. Letter from Nigeria and Reports of Evangelism Alamo reads a long letter from Port Harcourt, Nigeria, describing distribution of ministry newsletters and tracts in schools, hospitals, public transportation areas, and industrial locations. The writer reports that people responded to the literature, asked questions about Alamo’s ministry, and requested Bibles and more materials. Alamo praises the evangelistic work and says he will send financial help and a camera so the ministry activity can be documented. This section reinforces the episode’s repeated emphasis on literature distribution as evangelism. Paul’s Warning in Acts 22 and Alamo’s Own Story Alamo then connects his personal experiences to Acts 22, where Paul describes being warned to leave Jerusalem quickly because people would not receive his testimony. Alamo compares this to a time he says God warned him to leave Las Vegas within minutes because his life was in danger. He presents this story as evidence that believers must listen when God speaks and obey quickly. He also retells his own conversion story, saying God spoke through him during a business meeting in Beverly Hills and commanded him to speak about Jesus. Additional Letters, FEMA Article, and Spiritual Authority Near the end, Alamo reads brief messages from Uruguay, Guatemala, and Montana, including a testimony from a young woman who found one of his pieces of literature in a grocery-store parking lot and felt that it answered her questions. He also introduces an article claiming that FEMA was training pastors to encourage congregations to obey the government during martial law. Alamo uses this to argue that God’s true authorities are ministers of the gospel, not what he views as anti-Christ government systems. Consecration, Salvation Prayer, and Closing Appeal The episode closes by returning to the theme of consecration. Alamo teaches that believers should focus on God because they belong to Him, and that God’s life entering a person gives strength to obey. He then leads listeners in a salvation prayer, asking them to confess sin, believe in Jesus Christ, receive cleansing through His blood, and call upon the Lord for salvation. Sharon gives contact information for requesting Program 190, and Alamo tells listeners to tune in for Part 89, urging them to read the Bible so they can recognize truth and avoid deception.
