    Tony Alamo Ep295, How to have God's life living in your Part 193 Teachings On The Prayer Life Of Paul, A Warning About Pat Robertson, And A Song From H.B. Barnum's LIFE Choir World pastor Tony Alamo preaches program number 295 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, teaching on the Apostle Paul's prayer life, warning listeners about Pat Robertson, and reading testimony letters from New Jersey and a California prison, with music from H.B. Barnum's LIFE Choir. Program 295 Opens With A Prayer Against Rome Tony Alamo opens program number 295, part 193 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners to keep paper and pen ready to request a copy of the broadcast, since Sharon will give four ways to do so at the end. He leads an extended opening prayer, thanking God for the privilege of communicating with the throne and praising the Lord as Holy, Holy God. Alamo prays against what he calls a second attempt by the Vatican to win world power, comparing today's media and "democracy" rhetoric to Hitler's Germany and the burning of the Reichstag, which he likens to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. He asks the Lord to destroy the Antichrist and strengthen the church against the tactics of what he calls the Rome-based cult, and prays for American troops being sent to Iraq. The congregation answers amen as he moves into music. H.B. Barnum's LIFE Choir Sings Higher Ground Tony Alamo introduces H.B. Barnum, an old friend from his years in the music industry before either man was saved, calling him one of the best arrangers, directors, and producers in the world and now the choir director at his church. He plays "Moving Up to Higher Ground," performed by Barnum's LIFE Choir, telling listeners they can receive an album of the recording for a $15 tax-deductible love gift. After several minutes of music, Alamo returns to teaching that all power, wisdom, and strength belong to Jesus in heaven and on earth, and that God must receive the very first and best of a person's allotted dispensation of time on Earth. He contrasts time spent chasing money or worldly knowledge with time spent in fellowship with the Lord, insisting that without that fellowship, preaching and labor carry no real power anywhere, whether on Earth or beyond it. A Warning About Pat Robertson And Two Testimonies Alamo criticizes televangelist Pat Robertson by name, recalling his run for president followed by his claim he no longer wanted to be called a minister, calling the flip-flop double-minded and a bad testimony to the gospel. He recalls his late wife Susie once comparing such preachers wearing "metal hats" on television to a coming embarrassment for all genuine believers, and urges listeners to pray for Robertson and similar ministers rather than mock them, citing the biblical test that a true prophet's predictions come to pass. Sharon then reads two brief listener letters: one from Roseland, New Jersey, thanking Tony for giving people hope and direction, and a longer one from David in Corcoran, California, a prison inmate saved since April 2004 who read Alamo's article "Difficult Mountain" in the Sacramento Bee and requests literature to share with fellow inmates. Alamo thanks both writers and blesses them before returning to his main teaching. Paul's Example Of Praying Before Reading Alamo teaches that believers should imitate the Apostle Paul, quoting "Be followers of me, even as I also am of Christ" from First Corinthians, and describes telling his son Zion that prayer must come before Bible study so the Holy Spirit can direct which book and chapter to read. He describes narrowing a passage down verse by verse through a felt sense of tightening or flowing in his chest, and recalls receiving unexpected insight this way, including understanding of the seven thunders in Revelation that he says he had never heard taught before. Moving into Paul's letters, Alamo reads from First and Second Thessalonians about believers being established, sanctified wholly, and comforted in every good word and work, explaining that God wants to expand a believer's heart the way a contractor enlarges a small shack into a mansion, even when the remodeling is painful. Tracing Paul's Prayers Through The Epistles Continuing his survey, Alamo moves through Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, reading Paul's repeated statements that he prays without ceasing for the saints, for Israel's salvation, and for spiritual gifts of wisdom and revelation among believers. He contrasts this outward-focused prayer life with people who only ask blessings for their immediate family, calling that kind of praying selfish, and emphasizes verses promising that God will supply every need and strengthen believers with might in the inner man. Alamo stresses that Paul asked congregations in Rome, Corinth, Ephesus, Colossae, and Philippi to pray for him specifically, framing this mutual intercession as the "unity of the body of Christ" rather than the religious unification he says the world and the Vatican are currently pushing. He tells listeners that permitting the Holy Spirit to work powerfully is the only way this truth becomes real insight rather than mere head knowledge. Numbers Chapter Sixteen, A Vision, And A Sinner's Prayer Alamo previews tomorrow's reading from the sixteenth chapter of Numbers, recounting how Dathan and others rebelled against Moses and Aaron and were swallowed into the earth or burned for approaching the Lord's temple without being chosen. He warns that going to church is no guarantee of safety from God's judgment, recalling Miriam being struck with leprosy for opposing Moses, and describes his own vision at the time of his salvation in which questions poured from his heart while answers flowed back from heaven faster than he could process them. Running low on time, Alamo leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart and promising forgiveness and assurance of salvation to anyone who prays it sincerely. Sharon then gives four ways to request program 295: the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, a phone number, and a fax number, and the broadcast closes with the choir's recording of "Teach Us to Pray."

    Tony Alamo, October 29, 2026

    Tony Alamo Ep294, How to have God's life living in your Part 192 Teachings On The Prayer Room, A Pat Robertson Rebuke, And A Letter From Ghana World pastor Tony Alamo opens program 294 with a performance by H.B. Barnum's Life Choir, then teaches on the glorious prayer room, time and creation, rebukes televangelist Pat Robertson, and reads a testimony letter from a teenage convert in Ghana. Opening Prayer Against Rome And The Vatican Tony Alamo opens program 294, part 192 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners that Sharon will explain four ways to request a copy at the close of the hour. He leads an extended opening prayer thanking God for the privilege of prayer and asking the Lord to anoint the broadcast. Alamo prays against what he calls the Vatican, the Antichrist government, and the world media, blaming Rome for directing President Bush's decision to send additional troops to Iraq and for sponsoring television programs and the Cult Awareness Network that paint born-again Christians as dangerous. He accuses Rome of murdering people at Waco, bombing the World Trade Center and the Federal Building, and orchestrating Pearl Harbor, insisting Satan directs all of it from the Vatican. He closes the prayer asking that souls be saved and the church strengthened, and the congregation answers with a spoken amen before he introduces the coming music. H.B. Barnum's Life Choir And The Prayer Room Teaching Alamo introduces H.B. Barnum and his Life Choir, offering their recordings for a fifteen-dollar love gift, and the choir performs This Little Light of Mine. Returning to the microphone, Alamo tells the congregation that singing about letting one's light shine is easy compared to actually living it, and the congregation answers amen. He teaches that holiness and the power of God only show in a believer who stays close to what he calls the glorious prayer room, the place where the Holy Spirit fills a person with the spirit life needed to be a witness in a stormy, worsening world. He warns that without time spent in prayer, a Christian cannot carry God's influence into business dealings with the unsaved, and that the attitude of the prayer room, meaning holiness, must remain with a believer all day. He insists perfection is required to enter heaven, framing the prayer room as the source of that holiness. Holiness, Marriage, And The Fishing Analogy Alamo warns that churches preaching mere good behavior rather than a holy, Spirit-filled life grow larger but produce believers who fall away the moment temptation arrives, while his own congregation stays smaller because it insists on holiness. He singles out men in the church who pursue marriage more than the Lord, saying women can sense when a man's mind is on the flesh rather than God, and tells anyone seeking only a spouse to leave for a singles bar instead. Using the image of fishers of men, he argues that once the Lord pulls a person into the boat, like a caught fish, that person is meant to stay caught and be consumed entirely by the Holy Spirit. Alamo describes salvation as building a believer into a castle rather than a small cottage, requiring the Lord to tear down wicked thoughts and rotten imaginations, and insists that once saved, always saved is a lie, since he has watched married members in his own church commit adultery. A Rebuke Of Pat Robertson And A Fasting Testimony Alamo turns to a segment of Pat Robertson's television program in which a viewer asked whether to be concerned about a brother who prays and reads the Bible constantly, and Robertson answered yes. Alamo mocks Robertson's appearance and stutter, accuses him of siding with the Cult Awareness Network against Alamo's ministry during past legal trouble, and calls him a false prophet for predictions that never come true. He recalls Robertson once asking him to back a presidential run and his own refusal, saying ministers should not entangle themselves in worldly politics. Alamo then recounts his own forty-day, forty-night fast without food or water, ordered by the Lord after he spent ministry recording-session money on himself, describing how a light fixture crashed to the floor in front of his bare feet as a sign confirming the Lord's voice when he considered breaking the fast with a drink of water. Teaching On Time, Creation, And The Law Of Growth Shifting subjects, Alamo teaches that time itself began only with the creation of the world a little over six thousand years ago, rejecting scientists who date the Earth in the millions or hundreds of millions of years as liars working against the Gospel. He says he has seen Jesus Christ with his own eyes and received visions confirming that the King James Version is the most perfect Bible available. Alamo describes all living creatures as placed under a law of growth, arguing that a growing unborn child is proof of life and rejecting claims otherwise as deception he compares to Nazi Germany. He reflects that wisdom, business skill, and spiritual power all require time and patience to develop, criticizing young people and politicians alike for expecting shortcuts, and insists that a minister's highest calling is cultivating a daily, personal life of prayer rather than preaching alone. A Letter From Ghana And A Closing Invitation Alamo pauses his teaching so Sharon can read a letter from a fourteen-year-old boy named Emmanuel in Mamprobi-Accra, Ghana, who writes that a friend's copy of Alamo's literature turned his life from the evil way to God's way and asks for a Bible, the book Messiah, and more literature to keep him saved. Alamo returns to close his message on time and perseverance, warning listeners not to join what he calls the Antichrist mob mentality pushed by government and media. He leads the congregation in a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart and promising forgiveness and salvation to anyone who means it. Sharon then gives four ways to request a free copy of program 294: the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, a phone number, and a fax number. Alamo signs off promising to continue the message tomorrow, and the broadcast ends with H.B. Barnum's Life Choir performing Life's Prayer Song.

    Tony Alamo, October 28, 2026

    Tony Alamo Teachings On Secrets Of The Prayer Room, Letters From Ghana And New Jersey, And A Song By H.B. Barnum's Life Choir World pastor Tony Alamo opens program 293 with a performance by H.B. Barnum's Life Choir, then teaches a series of "secrets" for the prayer room, reads listener testimony letters from Ghana and New Jersey, and tells the story of his wife Sharon's healing from years of migraines. Program 293 Opens With A Prayer For The Church World pastor Tony Alamo opens program number 293, part 191 of his ongoing series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners to get a pen and paper ready because the broadcast holds testimonies, songs, and a message worth taking notes on. He leads the congregation to the throne of God, thanking the Lord for eternal life and the privilege of prayer, and asking that the service strengthen the church and save souls. The congregation answers with a spoken amen. Alamo then introduces H.B. Barnum, a longtime friend from his years in the music industry before both men were saved, describing Barnum as one of the finest arrangers and conductors in the world. He tells listeners Barnum wrote and conducts the coming song for his group, the Life Choir, titled "He Gave Me Life," setting up several minutes of music before he returns to teach. A Choir Performance And A Pointed Warning After the Life Choir performs "He Gave Me Life," Alamo tells listeners the six minutes of singing moved him more than a Passion Play he once watched, which he says was directed by an antisemitic filmmaker and filled with nuns. He warns anyone who holds anti-Jewish views to repent immediately, declaring that everyone will eventually kneel before Christ, whom he calls the world's greatest Jew and the King of kings, and that the unrighteous who hope to see believers destroyed will face vengeance. Alamo adds that his own death holds no fear for him, since he is certain he will go to a better place the moment he dies. He then promises the audience "secrets" from the prayer room, explaining that God hides golden truths from people who do not seek him, and that even hearing these secrets will mean nothing to listeners without the mind of Christ. The congregation answers amen as he transitions into his teaching. Secrets Of The Glorious Prayer Room Alamo begins his teaching proper, telling listeners that doing church work such as handling finances, carpentry, typing, or packaging tapes does not by itself earn entry into heaven; only keeping the Lord's commandments does, and the congregation answers amen. He describes people who come to him confessing they had neglected prayer until these messages pushed them back toward what he calls the "glorious prayer room," restoring the power to witness in the world. He credits one longtime member, Tommy Scarcella, who has been with the ministry for roughly 36 or 37 years, with asking him for fresh suggestions on spending quality time with the Lord rather than wasting it. Alamo promises to share these "secrets" of prayer, framing holiness as something that is only possible by staying continually before God's throne, and warning that deception and a spiritual cloud settle over anyone who steps away from that place, leaving them blind to their own sin. Letters From Ghana, New Jersey, And Ancient Books With the teaching paused, Alamo turns the broadcast over to his co-host to read listener letters, starting with one from Pastor John in Kade, Ghana, who describes opening a church and school in Alamo's name, baptizing new converts in the River Birim, and comparing Alamo's literature to "the net for the fish." Alamo responds that the Word of God is worth more than gold or rubies because the Word is Jesus himself. A second letter comes from Robert, a distributor in Jersey City, who read Alamo's testimony "Dry Bones" in the New York Daily News and requests The Book of Jasher and other "restored books." Alamo answers that Jasher and the Books of Enoch are quoted in the Bible yet were left out of the modern canon, which he blames on an unnamed Roman Catholic compiler, and goes on to explain that Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke, is the root tongue behind Hebrew much as English links England and the United States. A Healing Story, Terri Schiavo, And A Prison Memory Returning to his teaching on gratitude, Alamo tells the story of his wife Sharon suffering from migraine headaches for years, recalling that even his prayers over her did no good until the Lord told him the real problem was her own unthankfulness. He had her list out her blessings, her son, her marriage, her salvation, and once she began thanking God instead of merely enduring, the headaches stopped; Sharon confirms on air that she has not had one since, roughly fourteen years. Alamo contrasts that healing with the case of Terri Schiavo, saying he tried to reach her to pray for her recovery but was blocked, and accuses the government of starving her to death the way he says Germany once treated the suffering. He then recalls his own years in prison, describing how after about three years of doubt he cried out to God and heard two answers in return, "You're saved" and "You're going to heaven," words he says carried him through the rest of his sentence. Closing Prayer Secrets And A Sinner's Prayer Alamo closes out his prayer-room teaching by urging listeners to prepare their hearts before praying by reading scripture first, warning that an empty, unprepared heart produces only repetitive, selfish requests like asking blessings for mom, dad, and the kids. He tells listeners that true prayer looks outward toward pastors, missionaries, and the suffering church worldwide rather than inward, and that selfishness is "the death of prayer." Running out of time for the rest of his planned message, Alamo leads listeners through a spoken sinner's prayer, inviting Jesus into the heart and promising salvation to anyone who calls on the Lord's name. He then turns the broadcast over to his co-host, who gives four ways to request a free copy of program 293: the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, a phone number, and a fax number. Alamo signs off promising another strong message tomorrow, and the broadcast ends with H.B. Barnum's Life Choir performing "The Life Prayer Song."

    Tony Alamo, October 27, 2026

    Tony Alamo Teachings On Holiness, Romans Chapter One, And A Testimony From Wood River, Illinois World pastor Tony Alamo preaches program number 292 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, teaching on holiness, the story of a young man named Bill Levi, and Romans chapter one, with a song from Felix Springman and a closing hymn from Spade Cooley. Program 292 Opens With A Prayer Against Rome And Satan World pastor Tony Alamo opens program number 292, part 190 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners that Sharon will give four ways to request a free copy on tape or CD at the close of the hour. He previews a service built around music, testimonials, and Bible reading, then leads an extended opening prayer asking the Lord to anoint the broadcast and strengthen the church in the last days. Alamo prays for American soldiers in Iraq and in other wars he says are being secretly fought, and condemns what he calls the Rome-based cult and its one-world government and media for masking dictatorship as democracy and causing every evil on Earth. He asks that souls be saved and Satan's kingdom divided, insisting that believers are not a religion but salvationists continuing Christ's incarnation on Earth, and the congregation answers with a spoken amen. Felix Springman Sings, And Alamo Teaches On Holiness Alamo introduces singer Felix Springman's rendition of "Prepare Me One Body," explaining the song as a conversation between the Father and Jesus in heaven, with the Father asking for a blood-washed, spirit-filled body to preach that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. After the performance, Alamo returns to teaching that believers become holy only by staying close to the Lord and walking after the Spirit rather than the flesh, warning that a Christian without enough of God's spirit remains condemned by the flesh's desires. He turns to the subject of homosexuality, telling listeners it involves far more than two men having sex, promising to read the first chapter of Romans later in the hour to show what he calls its full nature. He insists homosexuality is a demonic condition rather than something God creates in a person, and that anyone, including homosexuals, can still be saved through being born again of the Spirit. The Story Of Bill Levi And A Lawsuit's False Claim Shifting to a real-world example, Alamo recalls a young man named Bill Levi who once carried a Bible insisting he only wanted a pure heart, whose parents were saved after hearing his testimony even though Levi had confessed to planning murder for hire before his conversion. Alamo says Levi's father, a sports editor at the New York Times, had him committed to a mental institution after threats against the family, and that Levi was genuinely saved for a time before falling back into drugs and homosexuality and turning against the church. He tells listeners that Levi later stood in a courtroom and falsely claimed Alamo kept two sets of financial books, a charge Alamo denies, saying he never worked in the office Levi described and that hundreds of witnesses could confirm it. Alamo uses the story to warn that "once saved, always saved" preaching is false, insisting he has watched many believers fall away over his decades of ministry. Faith, Perseverance, And Staying Close To The Lord Alamo builds an extended teaching on assurance, arguing that believers should expect the Lord's power daily rather than wondering whether they will remain faithful, since doubt itself amounts to calling God a liar. He cites Galatians chapter two, verse twenty, on living by the faith of the Son of God, and tells listeners that perfection is required to enter heaven, meaning total surrender rather than fear of holiness. Quoting Philippians chapter four, verse thirteen, "I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me," Alamo says the Lord's strength is shown in weakness, mentioning his own legal blindness as proof that physical limitation does not prevent spiritual clarity. He insists that staying in prayer without ceasing keeps a believer immune to temptation, warning that a conscience not regularly convicted becomes seared and vulnerable to Satan, and closes the passage by urging listeners to believe that all things are possible for those who draw near to God. A Testimonial Letter From Wood River, Illinois With time running short, Alamo turns the broadcast over to Sharon for testimonials, starting with a letter signed Paul from Wood River, Illinois, who opens by joking about the name Alamo and "remembering the Alamo" before turning serious. The writer says he read the article Dry Bones in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and now wants every publication the ministry offers, including the booklet Messiah, describing himself not as a lost soul but as a believer who wants to learn all he can before Jesus returns to what he calls a disgraceful world. Alamo responds that the man is simply trying to draw closer to the Lord so he can carry the Lord's power, noting that this broadcast is roughly the eighth or ninth message he has preached on knowing for certain that one carries the power of God, before telling Sharon it is time to move into the first chapter of Romans as promised earlier in the hour. Romans Chapter One And A Closing Altar Call Sharon reads Romans chapter one aloud from verse sixteen, and Alamo comments after nearly every verse, dwelling longest on the passage describing men and women who "burned in their lust one toward another" and calling the list that follows, including envy, murder, and deceit, a direct description of homosexuals and of unrighteous people generally. He argues that the United States government tolerates and even protects such behavior while threatening churches with the loss of tax-exempt status, blaming what he again calls a Rome-fashioned government for the trend. As the hour closes, Alamo leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart to wash away sin, telling listeners that scripture guarantees salvation the moment they call on the Lord's name. Sharon then gives the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, phone number, and fax number for anyone requesting a free copy of program two hundred ninety-two, and the broadcast ends with a recording of Spade Cooley's "Steal Away to Jesus."

    Tony Alamo, October 26, 2026

    Tony Alamo Teachings On Prayer Without Ceasing, The Seven Churches Of Revelation, And The Wretched Man Of Romans Seven World pastor Tony Alamo preaches on unceasing prayer as the key to a victorious Christian life, works through Christ's promises to the seven churches of Revelation and Paul's struggle with sin in Romans, and closes program 291 with a sinner's prayer and two of his own hymns. Program Opens With A Prayer For Ceaseless Prayer World pastor Tony Alamo opens program number 291, part 189 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners to have paper and pencil ready and to request the program by its number. He previews music, testimonials, Bible reading, and a strong message, promising the broadcast is one listeners will want to play over and over through the years. Alamo leads an opening prayer asking the Lord to impress on every listener, saved and unsaved, the sinfulness of not praying, explaining that a spiritual life is impossible without an unceasing prayer life and that neglecting prayer breaks every commandment at once. He asks the Lord to let the message enter the minds, hearts, and souls of everyone in radioland so they may enter the kingdom of God, and prays for souls to be saved and the church strengthened, closing in Jesus' name as the congregation answers with a spoken amen. Tony Alamo Sings Stand By Me After the opening prayer, Alamo tells listeners he will sing a song called "Stand by Me" and performs it in full before returning to the microphone. Coming back from the music, he teaches that a victorious, spiritual life is real but can only come through a prayerful life, citing the Apostle Paul's instruction to pray without ceasing. He tells listeners this victorious life is found only in Jesus, not in Muhammad or Buddha, because Jesus alone was crucified for the sins of the world and rose again, and because the same Spirit that raised him promises that believers will also rise. Alamo describes Jesus as the glorified One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit, insisting that all power in heaven and earth belongs to him alone, and tells listeners that anyone wanting abundant power has to be in Jesus, since no one else can supply it, before turning to how a Christian actually lives that overcoming life day by day. Reproof And The Letters To The Seven Churches Alamo teaches that the prayer life is bound up intimately with the entire spirit life, so that no prayer life means no spirit life, leaving a person open to Satan's temptations the moment they walk out the door. He explains that being born again does not make someone prayerful automatically, and that believers must grow in grace, which he defines as power, by praying until they reach the fullness of the stature of the Lord Jesus Christ, the same fullness that kept Jesus himself untemptable. Turning to the Book of Revelation, Alamo walks through the promises Christ gives "him that overcometh" in chapters two and three, citing Proverbs 6:23 on the reproof of the word, and rebukes three of the seven churches by name: Ephesus for losing its first love, Sardis for having a name that it lives while being spiritually dead, and Laodicea for a lukewarmness and self-satisfaction that the Lord threatens to spew from his mouth unless its members repent. The Knowledge Of Sin And Romans Chapter Seven Alamo teaches that forgiveness requires first knowing what sin actually is, pointing to Eve's single forbidden tree and then listing sins the Bible names directly, including incest, adultery, fornication, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, thievery, lying, covetousness, and failing to love God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength. He cites Romans 3:19 on every mouth being stopped and the whole world becoming guilty before God, insisting a hundred-percent prayer life is the only path to a hundred-percent spiritual life. Moving into Romans chapter seven, Alamo walks through Paul's description of finding no good thing in the flesh and crying out, "O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death," explaining that this struggle goes deeper than the relief felt at conversion, since the saved spirit still lives inside a body already familiar with sin, and genuine victory only comes with time, experience, and growing closer to the Lord day by day. A Deeper Surrender And A Warning To Novice Teachers Alamo continues through Romans chapter eight, reading that "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" has made him free from the law of sin and death, and testifying that staying close to the Lord in prayer day and night keeps that law from having any pull on him at all. He tells the congregation that a believer must reach an entirely new surrender, warning that anyone still being battered and torn by sin simply has not yet made that surrender or looked into scripture to see how sinful it is not to pray. Alamo rebukes ministers who preach only the hopelessness of Romans seven without reaching chapter eight's promise of deliverance through Christ, calling such preachers novices who throw people's souls toward hell by teaching that no one can keep God's commandments, and quotes the instruction to "suffer not a novice to preach," warning that teachers who have not lived close to the Lord fall into the same condemnation as the devil. A Sinner's Prayer, Contact Information, And A Closing Hymn As program number 291 nears its end, Alamo tells listeners that faith in the whole, resurrected Christ, not in themselves, is the only way to become "more than conquerors" as Romans 8:37 promises, and that the Lord never fails those who are striving for perfection. He leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting listeners to confess belief that Jesus is the Son of God, that he died and rose for the forgiveness of sins, and to ask Jesus into their hearts to wash their sins away, telling them that if they prayed it sincerely they can know they are saved. Alamo asks listeners to raise their hands and thank the Lord, then turns the broadcast over to Sharon, who gives the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, and a phone and fax number for requesting a free copy of program 291. Alamo closes by promising tomorrow's conclusion of the message and sings "I'll Walk with God" to end the broadcast.

    Tony Alamo, October 25, 2026

    Tony Alamo 768B Teachings On The Mark Of The Beast, The 144,000, And A Letter From Toccoa, Georgia World pastor Tony Alamo works through Revelation chapters thirteen and fourteen on the mark of the beast, the fall of Mystery Babylon, and the 144,000 saved Jews, then reads a listener letter from Toccoa, Georgia, and closes the hour with a sinner's prayer and his own rendition of "Have Thine Own Way, Lord." Program Opens With A Prayer Against Lukewarmness World pastor Tony Alamo opens program number 768 of his ongoing series on the Book of Revelation, telling listeners that Sharon will explain at the end how to request a free copy on CD or audio tape. He tells his audience that Revelation is simple to understand once a believer walks in the spirit, but impossible to grasp otherwise, and insists these are the last days the book describes. Alamo leads an opening prayer asking the Lord to anoint his preaching so people understand the word and become full of zeal rather than lukewarm, warning that lukewarm believers will be spewed from God's mouth as Revelation describes. He prays for souls to be saved, for the church to be strengthened as Christ's spotless bride, and for Satan's works to be destroyed, and Sharon answers with a spoken amen before Alamo moves directly into chapter thirteen, verse fifteen. Teaching On The Mark Of The Beast Alamo works through Revelation chapter thirteen verse by verse, explaining that the beast gives the image of the antichrist power to speak and to kill anyone who refuses to worship it. He reads verse sixteen's mark in the hand or forehead as a coming microchip that will function as a credit card, telling listeners he already cannot get a credit card because he has spoken out with the word of God, and that under the beast's system no one will be able to buy or sell without the mark for fear of being reported and killed. Reaching verse eighteen's number of the beast, six hundred and sixty-six, Alamo dates the start of Satan's takeover to 1966, pointing to hippies spray-painting Hollywood Boulevard in Haight-Ashbury, the Watts Riots, and children who rebelled against hypocritical parents who drank and used drugs while forbidding them to do the same, burning down what he calls the establishment. The 144,000 On Mount Sion Moving into chapter fourteen, Alamo reads of the Lamb standing on Mount Sion with a hundred forty-four thousand having the Father's name written in their foreheads, noting he named his own son Sion after the mountain. He identifies the hundred forty-four thousand as Jews saved in the last days, marked before four angels release the winds of judgment, and describes harpers harping and a new song before the throne that only they can learn. Working through verse four's description of the group as virgins not defiled with women, Alamo explains that this refers to not bowing to other gods rather than celibacy, since he says marriage itself is of the Lord. Reaching verse five's claim that they are without fault, he challenges a named preacher, asking Sharon whether that would make them perfect; when she agrees, he calls the preacher a liar for teaching no one can be perfect, and Sharon affirms she follows the Lord instead. Babylon Is Fallen, That Great City Alamo continues through chapter fourteen's angels, reading that the everlasting gospel goes to every nation and insisting there is no life on other planets despite what he calls Catholic claims about aliens. He reaches verse eight's announcement that Babylon is fallen, identifying Mystery Babylon as Rome rather than Iraq or Iran, and describing the city's ancient statues and its influence over nations through television and media as the wine of her fornication. Reading on through the third angel's warning, he describes those who worship the beast's image and take its mark drinking the wrath of God without mixture and being tormented with fire and brimstone forever, with no rest day or night. Alamo pauses on verse twelve's patience of the saints, reasoning that no one would want to burn forever, so patience in keeping God's commandments and faith in Jesus becomes the only sensible choice, before reaching verse thirteen's promise that the dead who die in the Lord rest from their labors. A Testimony Letter From Toccoa, Georgia With time running short, Alamo has Sharon continue a letter from a listener in Toccoa, Georgia, who writes that Satan still works through the same Bible, pulpit and church as in the days before Moses, since God does not experience time the way people do. The writer says believers forget God's small, still voice, recalls that Jesus himself was tried and found guilty, and warns that those with ears to hear need to wake up because the night is far spent. The letter asks for tapes or CDs of hard preaching, complaining that the nation has had enough of lukewarm, adulterated preaching that leaves people confused while the Bible's simplicity goes unrecognized. Alamo responds after each line, agreeing that no one preaches harder than he does and that he has made the word simple for his listeners, while the letter closes by comparing God to something other than Santa Claus and urging believers to stop playing around with Satan, especially inside the church. A Sinner's Prayer And A Closing Hymn As program number seven hundred sixty-eight winds down, Alamo tells listeners who believe what he has preached to repeat a spoken sinner's prayer asking the Lord's mercy, confessing faith in Christ's death and resurrection, and inviting Jesus into the heart to wash away sin, promising that scripture guarantees salvation to anyone who prays it. He asks listeners to raise their hands and thank God for saving their souls, then turns the broadcast over to Sharon, who gives the ministry's website, email address, Hollywood, California post office box, and phone number for requesting a free copy of the program. Alamo closes by urging listeners worldwide to let the Lord have his own way in their lives even if it means prison or death, comparing death to a brief cigarette burn before paradise. The broadcast ends with Alamo himself singing "Have Thine Own Way, Lord," followed by the Help From Christ Ministries announcer giving contact information for listener responses.

    Tony Alamo, October 23, 2026

    Tony Alamo Ep290, How to have God's life living in you, Part188 Teachings On Obedience And Holiness, A Slave-Labor Camp Defense, And A Song With J.D. Sumner And The Stamps World pastor Tony Alamo teaches on obedience as the path to holiness, sings "I, John" with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, reads listener letters from Nova Scotia to Palm Springs, and mounts a lengthy defense of his ministry against decades-old accusations that his clothing business was a slave labor camp. Program 290 Opens With A Prayer For Obedience World pastor Tony Alamo opens program number 290, part 188 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, asking listeners to get paper and pencil ready for program number 290 and reminding them a free copy is available on CD or audio tape. He previews a message, testimonials, Bible reading, and singing, then leads an opening prayer asking the Lord to anoint the broadcast and strengthen the church in these last days, and the congregation answers with a spoken amen. Alamo begins his teaching by separating sins of ignorance from acknowledged sin, insisting no sin enters the kingdom of heaven and that unconfessed sin keeps prayers from being heard. He teaches that the Holy Spirit is given only to those who obey the Lord's commandments, citing Acts chapter five, and recalls how the Apostle John's closeness to Christ let the Lord reveal the Antichrist to him, a corporate body John later tied to the number six sixty-six in his gospel. A Song Called I John With J.D. Sumner Having taught that obedience opens the way to the Holy Spirit's power, Alamo turns to music, recalling that he recorded several albums with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, including a song called I, John, built on the Apostle John's description of looking up into the heavens and seeing a mighty number. He tells listeners the song ties directly to his teaching, that revelation like John's comes only to those who stay close to the Lord. Alamo and J.D. Sumner and the Stamps then perform I, John together, filling several minutes of the broadcast before Alamo returns to the microphone. Coming back from the performance, he tells listeners that shortwave audiences have reported other broadcasters now copying the testimonial letters his ministry receives from newspaper readers, soliciting mail from their own listeners in the same way. He insists his own letters are never solicited, that he never begs anyone to write, and that the letters arrive heartfelt from people moved to write after reading his literature or hearing the broadcast. Testimonials From Nova Scotia To California Alamo turns the broadcast over to testimonials, opening with a letter from Bill and Connie in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, Canada, who praise singer Jack Holcomb, agree that the Church of Rome is a sect and the mother of harlots of Revelation chapters seventeen and eighteen, and ask for literature on the subject along with the Dry Bones article based on Ezekiel chapter thirty-seven. The letter prompts a detour into shortwave reception, with listeners naming Berlin, Cuba, Panama, Wales, Peru, Mexico, Florida and unnamed oriental stations as places that have picked up the signal, though Alamo admits he gets only static. Further letters follow: two women in New York City, one an elderly black woman, call a twenty-four-hour witnessing line after reading Alamo's article Brace Yourselves in the New York Daily News, asking to become literature distributors, and a man from Lemon Grove, California, requests the Messiah book after reading Dry Bones in the San Diego Union-Tribune and relating to Alamo's promotional-field background. Defending The Ministry Against Slave Labor Claims A letter from Palm Springs, California, reporting that Judith of Judith's Nutrition refuses to say anything negative about Alamo despite repeated pressure, launches the broadcast's longest passage, a defense against accusations that his former clothing ministry, once sold in ten thousand stores, was a slave labor camp. Alamo blames Vatican-linked investigators, FBI and BATF agents for spreading the claim nationwide, and insists the jacket-making, leatherwork and rhinestone work were voluntary arts and crafts that paid well enough to build church members houses and furniture. He recounts Andy Edwards of Van Buren, Arkansas, asking church members to take over payments on a thousand-hog farm after thieves stole his pigs, recalls the ministry's Arkansas restaurant hosting Dolly Parton, Marty Robbins and even Bill Clinton, and lists Donald and Ivana Trump, the Sultan of Brunei, King Albert Bongo of Gabon and the King of Saudi Arabia among past clothing customers, before tying the persecution back to what he repeatedly calls the Vatican cult. Teaching On Faith And Living At The Throne Returning to scripture, Alamo builds an extended teaching on obedience as the condition for holiness, moving through John chapter fourteen's promise of the Comforter, John chapter fifteen's call to abide in Christ's love, Hebrews chapter thirteen's prayer to be made perfect, Jude's assurance that the Lord is able to keep believers from falling, and Second Peter's call to make one's calling and election sure. He tells listeners that holiness is impossible without living, as he puts it, right next to the Lord's throne, and that wavering happens only to those who have left that place. Working through First Thessalonians chapter three, Second Thessalonians chapter three, Romans chapter one, and Colossians chapter one, he argues that faith in the whole Christ brings both forgiveness of past sin and power against new temptation, describing this as the obedience of faith that the Apostle Paul opens and closes his epistle to the Romans with. Sharon Reads Thessalonians As The Hour Closes As the hour nears its end, Alamo has Sharon read aloud from First Thessalonians chapter three, verse by verse, pausing after each to apply Paul's concern for the Thessalonians' faith to the modern church's need for exceeding, daily prayer rather than idle gossip. He contrasts standing fast in the Lord with the followers of Rome, whom he again blames for the world's violence and conflict, and ties the chapter's closing prayer that God establish believers unblameable in holiness back to the broadcast's opening theme. Alamo then leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart to wash away sin, telling listeners their salvation is certain because scripture promises that all who call on the Lord are saved. Sharon gives four ways to request program two hundred ninety free on CD or tape: the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, a phone number and a fax number, and the broadcast closes with Alamo and Katie Alamo singing Run On.

    Tony Alamo, October 21, 2026

    Tony Alamo The Secrets of Holy Prayer, Songs With J.D. Sumner, and Letters From a Riverhead Jail Cell World Pastor Tony Alamo teaches on holiness and the discipline of unceasing prayer, sings "How Long Has It Been Since You Prayed?" with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, and reads listener testimonials that range from Jamaica, New York to a jail cell in Riverhead, New York. Program Opens With Prayer For Holiness World Pastor Tony Alamo opens program number 288, part 186 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners that Sharon will explain at the end how to receive a free copy on CD or tape. He previews a strong message from the Lord, newspaper comments on his literature, testimonials, and music. Alamo leads the congregation in prayer, asking the Father to bless the broadcast and to grant holiness to those willing to live in constant prayer, insisting that believers must become perfect to enter heaven rather than accept the false teaching that no one can be perfect. He prays that the message will touch every heart and strengthen the church, and a congregation member answers with a spoken amen. The prayer sets up the evening's central theme, that holiness is reached only by staying close to God in unceasing prayer. Teaching On An Established, Holy Heart Alamo preaches at length on a message he calls "Is Your Heart Established?", comparing a trustworthy business reputation to a heart established in the Lord. He quotes the Apostle Paul's prayer that God establish believers' hearts unblamable in holiness, citing First Thessalonians chapters three, four and five, and argues that holiness has been lost even inside the church because believers will not spend a full hour alone in prayer. He tells listeners that sanctification happens only in the presence of God's holiness, not through personal effort, and that approaching the throne in prayer is the one way to be set apart. Citing Leviticus and Isaiah's repeated command to be holy, he insists knowledge of God is only available to those who linger before Him, warning that unholy associations and gossip about faithful believers make a person unholy rather than righteous. A Song And Memories From Israel Before continuing the teaching, Alamo introduces a song titled "How Long Has It Been Since You Prayed?", performed with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, asking the congregation whether it has been too long since they knelt in prayer. After the performance, he returns to Exodus's declaration that the Lord sanctifies His people, and recalls a trip to Israel roughly twenty-three years earlier where he saw rabbis walking the streets reading their Bibles openly, smiling, seemingly close to God. He tells listeners he cannot know whether the display was sincere or hypocritical, but that it looked good regardless, and suggests many of the rabbis he saw may now know Jesus Christ, since closeness to God the Father is impossible without knowing the Son. He ties the memory back to his larger point that unceasing prayer is the only path to holiness. Testimonials From Across The Country And A Jail Cell Sharon reads listener mail aloud while Alamo responds to each. A reader in Jamaica, New York, asks for the Messiah booklet after seeing Alamo's testimony, called "Dry Bones," in the Daily News. A senior citizen named Stanley in Minnetonka, Minnesota, praises the same article as it ran in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. A writer identified as Sister Esther in Oklahoma City thanks Alamo for a newspaper sermon and requests more booklets. The most striking letter comes from a man named Bobby, incarcerated in Suffolk County on Long Island and writing from Riverhead, New York, who says he has been freed from addiction through Christ, asks for prayer for his family, and requests a softcover copy of the Messiah book since hardcovers are not allowed in jail. Alamo answers each testimony by returning to his theme that only sustained closeness with God grants the power these writers describe. Reading Revelation's Vision Of The Throne Alamo turns to the fourth chapter of Revelation, having Sharon read John's vision of a door opened in heaven, a throne encircled by a rainbow, twenty-four elders in white, and four living creatures crying "Holy, holy, holy" without ceasing. Alamo stops repeatedly to press the point that heaven's seven spirits and its endless praise are available only to those who approach the throne now, comparing the pursuit of holiness to someone traveling to Hollywood for stardom or to Paris for the Eiffel Tower. He tells the congregation that wanting to be in heaven later requires behaving as though already there, since prayer is not stored up like savings but given and received daily. Sharon reads on through the creatures' unceasing praise of the Lord God Almighty, "which was, and is, and is to come," which Alamo ties directly to the believer's obligation to praise constantly rather than rest. Romans Twelve, Tithing, And A Closing Prayer Moving to Romans chapter twelve, Alamo has Sharon read Paul's call to present the body as a living sacrifice and to avoid conformity with the world, pausing on each verse to warn against pride, theft, and sexual sin, and to insist that tithing is required because withholding support from the ministry amounts to robbing God. He credits the Lord for his own diligence, mercy, and cheerfulness in feeding hungry children through the broadcast's outreach. As his hour closes, Alamo leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus to wash away sin and asks listeners to raise their hands in thanks. Sharon then gives the ministry's website, Texarkana post office box, phone and fax numbers for requesting program 288 free on CD or tape. Alamo signs off as World Pastor Tony Alamo, and the broadcast ends with a singer named Rovan, whom Alamo calls a promotional discovery from a lumber yard, performing "The Lord's Prayer" on RCA Victor.
