Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries Ep240 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 138: Persecution, Propaganda, Biblical Judgment, and the Call to Stand Firm Pastor Tony Alamo presents Program 240 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Part 138, reflecting on what he describes as decades of persecution, media propaganda, government and religious corruption, biblical standards of judgment, last-days warnings from 2 Timothy 3, ministry work, personal accusations, salvation through Jesus Christ, and the need for believers to remain faithful under pressure. Biblical Judgment and the Theme of Persecution This episode is identified as Program 240 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Part 138, with Pastor Tony Alamo as the principal speaker and Sharon reading selected passages and closing information. Alamo opens by saying the program will revisit past persecutions experienced by his church. He argues that believers should not judge by personal opinion, but may evaluate people and events through what he understands to be the standards of the Bible. Claims About Rome, the Vatican, Government, and the Media A large portion of the sermon is devoted to Alamo’s claims about the Vatican, Rome, presidents, government agencies, media organizations, and what he calls an Antichrist world system. He describes Rome as the biblical city of seven hills and portrays the Vatican as the directing force behind political corruption, war, propaganda, anti-Christian activity, and attacks on Jews. He also makes sweeping accusations involving former presidents, public officials, historical figures, and major events. These claims are presented throughout as Alamo’s interpretation and allegations, not as established history or verified reporting. Personal Accusations, Imprisonment, and Alamo’s Defense Alamo repeatedly returns to accusations made against him and his ministry. He says he was imprisoned and taken to court on false charges, denied opportunities to present his side publicly, and portrayed by television programs, newspapers, government officials, and anti-cult organizations as dangerous. He compares his experiences with the imprisonment and persecution of biblical prophets and apostles. He also discusses allegations involving child abuse, kidnapping, threats against officials, tax matters, his legal name, his wife Susan Alamo’s funeral and remains, and other claims, offering his own explanations and denials. Propaganda, Public Opinion, and Religious Conflict The sermon argues that propaganda is used to prepare the public to accept the destruction of a person, church, or nation. Alamo says repeated accusations shape public opinion before legal or governmental action is taken. He connects this argument to media reports about himself, Saddam Hussein, political leaders, Waco, Oklahoma City, the World Trade Center, and other events. The sermon also includes harsh condemnations of Roman Catholicism, homosexuality, abortion, government policy, specific churches, and people he views as false accusers. For publication, these statements require strong attribution because they include inflammatory language, conspiracy claims, and allegations against identifiable groups and individuals. Ministry Work, Charity, and Church Disputes Alamo contrasts the accusations against him with his description of the ministry’s charitable work. He says the church fed, clothed, housed, educated, and supported people, provided meals, helped churches overseas, supplied food, water, bathrooms, and electricity, and contributed money to community projects. He also recounts disputes involving daycare licensing, labor rules, local Arkansas churches, city officials, tax agencies, and church flyers criticizing him. He presents these conflicts as examples of religious persecution and as efforts to discredit a ministry he says was serving people and preaching the gospel. 2 Timothy 3 and the Last-Days Warning After a music break, the program turns to 2 Timothy 3, where Sharon reads that perilous times will come and that people will become lovers of themselves, proud, unholy, and false accusers. Alamo interprets these verses as directly relevant to his experiences and to the conduct of modern society, government, religious institutions, and his critics. He argues that self-love prevents people from taking up the cross, serving others, or accepting difficult ministry work. He also discusses missionary and charitable efforts in Africa as an example of sacrifice, while warning about people he says exploited religious aid for personal gain. Salvation, Prayer, and the Closing Appeal The program concludes with Alamo affirming Jesus as the way, the truth, the life, and the Word of God. He prays that listeners will understand the Bible, resist false accusations and spiritual deception, and remain strong under persecution. He then gives a salvation prayer for listeners who want to receive Christ, asking them to confess sin, believe in Jesus’ death and resurrection, and invite Him into their hearts. Sharon provides ministry contact information, and the episode closes with a recording of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.”
