    Tony Alamo How To Have God's Life Living In You Part 161: 144,000 Sealed Jews and Revelation's Trumpet Judgments Tony Alamo devotes program 263, part 161 of his teaching series, to Revelation chapters seven through nine, describing a multi-city newspaper campaign aimed at reaching 144,000 Jews before what he says are the earth's coming plagues. Opening Prayer and Program Introduction Tony Alamo opens the broadcast directly, identifying himself as world pastor and naming the program number two hundred sixty-three, part one hundred sixty-one of his ongoing series How to Have God's Life Living in You. He tells listeners a free copy on tape or CD is available, postage included, and that the day's message comes from the seventh chapter of Revelation, which he says the Lord has given him a strong new revelation about. Alamo leads an opening prayer asking for the Holy Spirit's fire and power to fall on the broadcast, thanking God for a vision of winning 144,000 Jews before the earth's great plagues begin, and asking that listeners' ears, hearts, minds and souls be opened to receive the message and be saved. He asks for the church to be given more power, wisdom and zeal, closes in Jesus' name, and an unidentified woman in the studio answers with an audible amen. A Recorded Hymn and a Call to Educate With the prayer finished, Tony Alamo introduces a recording of his own performance of Exodus, arranged by Joe Leahy with his orchestra and choir, words written by Pat Boone, explaining that the song's promise was never given to anyone but the Jews and still stands because God's word never changes. After the music plays, he tells listeners he feels sad for people who never read the Bible or who read it without receiving it into their hearts, criticizing television preachers who claim God's blessing means cars and material things rather than the call to be soul winners for the bride of Christ. He says the broadcast is for education, not entertainment, that listeners who cannot go into the world themselves should support those who do, and that he has never cared about being liked, only about doing what the Lord tells him, adding that longtime associates who doubt he is of the Lord know better and are, in his words, devils. Letters From Chile, India, and Nicaragua Tony Alamo turns to a co-host he addresses first as Libby and later as Sharon, a discrepancy left unresolved in the recording, asking her to read listener mail before the day's teaching begins. She reads a letter from Rodolfo in Concepción, Chile, thanking the ministry for literature that has produced sincere testimonies of transformed lives across Latin America and asking that the mailings continue. A second letter comes from Benajari in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, India, describing his home as a distribution point for the ministry's newsletters and requesting CDs, Bibles, tapes and t-shirts in large and extra-large sizes. A third letter, from Pastor Silvio in Managua, Nicaragua, says he received Alamo's audio messages and now distributes them among personnel in the Nicaraguan army and government, and asks for a taped copy of Alamo's personal testimony to broadcast on his own radio program. Alamo thanks the letter writers, reminding listeners the ministry belongs to the Lord rather than to him personally. A Newspaper Crusade To Reach 144,000 Jews Alamo describes a strategy he says the Lord gave him: using ministry funds to buy full-page gospel advertisements, built from his own literature such as his personal testimony, Difficult Mountains, Mass Suicide, and his late wife Susie's writing, in major newspapers including the Tulsa World, the Oklahoman, the Arkansas Democrat, the New York Daily News, the San Diego Union, the Texarkana Gazette, the Long Island Press, and papers across Montana. He focuses on the New York Daily News, noting the city's large Jewish population and claiming a single full page has cost thirty-six or thirty-seven thousand dollars, with more than one hundred thousand dollars spent over three weeks, and that phone lines at the ministry's Fort Smith and Los Angeles offices have been ringing constantly. He says he altered some content to get past editors he believes fear angering the Vatican, and instructs street witnesses to carry tear sheets from the papers to show Jewish readers the ministry has been published nationally, hoping to move them to request his booklet The Messiah. Reading Revelation Chapters Seven and Eight Turning to scripture, Alamo has the unidentified woman reading for him work through Revelation chapter seven, four angels holding back the four winds until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads, followed by the sealing of twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes and a vision of a great multitude in white robes before the throne who have come out of great tribulation. Alamo insists there is no rapture before that tribulation, warning that lukewarm churchgoers expecting only blessings, not trials, will be disappointed. Moving to chapter eight, the reading covers the seventh seal's half hour of silence, which Alamo compares to the stillness before a tornado, followed by the first four trumpet judgments: hail and fire burning a third of the trees and all green grass, a burning mountain turning a third of the sea to blood and killing sea creatures and ships, the star Wormwood poisoning a third of earth's fresh waters, and a third of the sun, moon and stars darkened, all of which Alamo insists must wait until the 144,000 are saved. Chapter Nine's Locusts and a Salvation Prayer The reading continues into chapter nine, the fifth angel loosing locusts from the bottomless pit with power like scorpions to torment, but not kill, those without God's seal for five months, ruled by the angel Abaddon, also called Apollyon, and the sixth angel releasing four angels bound at the river Euphrates to kill a third of mankind. Alamo connects the torment to judges, prosecutors and abusive spouses he believes will reap what they sowed, and points to earthquakes, tsunamis and the destruction he describes in New Orleans as earlier warnings of the disasters ahead. Noting he has now covered five of Revelation's twenty-two chapters, Alamo leads listeners in a spoken salvation prayer confessing belief in Jesus as the Son of God who died, rose, and can wash away sin, assuring anyone who prayed along that they are saved. Sharon closes with the ministry's website, Texarkana, Texas post office box, and phone and fax numbers for a free copy of program 263, and Alamo signs off performing Israel's national anthem, Hatikvah.

    Tony Alamo How To Have God's Life Living In You Part 160: Revelation's Seven Thunders, Four Horsemen, and Letters From Malawi Tony Alamo devotes program 262, part 160 of his teaching series, to a verse-by-verse reading of Revelation chapters ten and six, laying out his own theory of the two witnesses and the four horsemen, while his co-host reads conversion letters from Malawi and Arkansas and a spoken salvation prayer closes the hour. Opening Prayer and Program Introduction Tony Alamo opens the broadcast identifying himself as World Pastor Tony Alamo, naming this program two hundred sixty-two, part one hundred sixty of his ongoing series How to Have God's Life Living in You, and reminding listeners a free tape or CD copy is available for the asking at the end of the hour. He leads an extended opening prayer insisting believers are living in the worst time the earth has ever known, that there will be no rapture before the tribulation, and that the tribulation has already begun with pestilences science cannot cure. He describes a great red dragon operating from what he calls the City of Seven Hills, with world government and media as its instruments, and names the ACLU and the Jesuits as branches of what he calls Satan's church that must be uprooted rather than merely trimmed. He asks God to save souls and protect the church, closing in Jesus' name as his co-host answers with an audible amen. A Recorded Song and Letters From Africa and Arkansas Once the prayer ends, Tony Alamo plays a recording of himself performing Swing Down, Sweet Chariot, Stop, Let Me Ride with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, then praises singer P.J. Proby as a friend and, he says, the Beatles' own favorite singer, once billed above Tony Bennett and the Beatles themselves in England under the name Jet Powers before he became Smith. Turning to the mail, his co-host reads a letter from Evangelist Reuben in Luwande, Malawi, describing literature such as Dry Bones and Mass Suicide winning souls in his area and requesting Bibles and taped messages. A second letter comes from Dale in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, who read Alamo's Dry Bones testimony in a newspaper, and a third from Norman, incarcerated at the Arkansas Department of Correction's Cummins Unit, asking for The Messiah booklet. Alamo responds by recalling a television documentary on wrongful convictions and insisting he himself was imprisoned for preaching the gospel, not to escape it. Revelation Ten and the Mystery of the Two Witnesses Tony Alamo directs listeners to the tenth chapter of Revelation, offering his own reading that Enoch, the one Old Testament figure who never died, has returned to earth along with his wife to serve as Revelation's two witnesses, ruling out Moses and Elijah since both died once already. His co-host reads of the mighty angel clothed with a cloud, a rainbow over his head, a face like the sun, and feet like pillars of fire, holding open a little book and crying out until seven thunders sound. Alamo tells listeners the voice ordered those thunders sealed up rather than written, and explains they represent seven thousand-year periods of history, with the present age standing at the threshold of the seventh and final thousand years, meaning the earth is not millions of years old as scientists claim. He goes on to accuse the late Pope John Paul the Second of homosexuality and child molestation, calling the papacy itself a false Christ that the Bible warns believers to reject. False Christs and a Kingdom of Kings and Priests Alamo warns against false Christs and false prophets, having his co-host read Matthew twenty-four verse twenty-four and Mark thirteen verse twenty-two on deceivers who show signs and wonders, and pointing to a man in Florida who claims to be more powerful than Jesus. He rejects teachings that God's love is unconditional and that natural disasters come from Mother Nature rather than God, insisting scripture never uses that phrase. Turning to identity, he has his co-host, whom he addresses as Sharon, read Revelation chapter one verse six, that Christ has made believers a nation of kings and priests, and argues this means the church itself is the kingdom of heaven functioning inside believers rather than an observable institution. He clarifies that being a priest means interceding directly with God through the one mediator, Christ, not standing as an intermediary over other people the way false religions teach. He adds that the Lord has spoken through him in courtrooms during his own imprisonment, calling himself a continuing witness there. Finishing Chapter Ten and Opening the Seals Alamo has his co-host read Second Peter chapter two on false teachers who bring in damnable heresies through covetousness, contrasting them with pastors who excuse sin like adultery in the name of love. Returning to Revelation ten, he takes the little book, finds it sweet in his mouth but bitter in his belly, and is told he must prophesy again before peoples, nations, tongues, and kings, a bitterness he interprets as the persecution and slander every believer must endure. He tells listeners storms eventually pass and vows he will keep swinging at his critics even from inside his coffin. He then moves quickly into chapter six, calling it the beginning of the plagues, and has the first seal read: a white horse and rider given a crown and a bow, followed by the second seal, a red horse taking peace from the earth so that people kill one another, which Alamo connects directly to the September eleventh attacks. Famine, Death, and a Call to Salvation As the reading reaches the third seal, the black horse of famine, Alamo applies it to followers of other doctrines starving while the Lord protects his own oil and wine. The pale horse of death follows, and he points to disease, war, and a National Examiner cover reporting former President Clinton near death and repentant over Waco as signs of the times. He argues animals no longer fear humans as end-times prophecy predicted, blaming mad cow disease for what doctors now call Alzheimer's, and reads on through the fifth seal's martyred souls crying out for vengeance and the sixth seal's earthquake, blackened sun, and blood-red moon. Running short on time, Alamo leads listeners in a spoken salvation prayer confessing Jesus as the Son of God raised from the dead, telling them their prayer is heard and answered. His co-host, Sharon, closes by giving the ministry's website, Texarkana, Texas post office box, and phone and fax numbers for a free copy of program two hundred sixty-two, and Alamo signs off recalling the hymn I'll Walk with God.

    Tony Alamo, September 14, 2026

    Tony Alamo How to Have God's Life Living in You, Part 159: The Difficult Mountain Vision and a Call to Salvation Tony Alamo devotes program 261, part 159 of his teaching series, to letters from Ghana, a recorded duet with Porter Wagoner, and a lengthy reading of his own vision of climbing a difficult mountain with his late wife Susie, closing the hour with a spoken salvation prayer. Opening Prayer and Program Introduction Tony Alamo opens the broadcast identifying it as program 261, part 159 of his ongoing series How to Have God's Life Living in You, and tells listeners that co-host Sharon will explain near the end how to request a free audiotape or CD copy. He previews a new piece of literature set to appear on the ministry's website and in major newspapers including the New York Daily News, describing distribution reaching Hispanic nations, Italy, Central and South America, Great Britain, and Israel. Alamo leads an opening prayer describing the present era as perilous because people focus on themselves rather than God, and names the conflict he says he was called into as the Battle of Armageddon, the war between God and Satan for the soul of man. He prays that Catholics and Lutherans be saved, asserting as historical fact that Martin Luther was anti-Semitic, and that the true church, not religion, will be strengthened. The prayer closes with an audible amen from Sharon. A Duet with Porter Wagoner After the opening prayer, Tony Alamo introduces a song called Lord, Hold My Hand, written for him by Dolly Parton and recorded years earlier with RCA Victor artist Porter Wagoner. The broadcast plays the full duet recording, after which Alamo returns to the microphone praising Wagoner as one of the finest country singers who ever lived and calling him a close personal friend. He recalls Wagoner and his band performing at a restaurant the ministry once operated and later opening a clothing store the ministry ran in Nashville, describing years of good times shared between them. With the song finished, Alamo turns to the mail, telling listeners letters have come in from Africa. He hands the first one to Sharon, asking where it originates, and she identifies it as coming from Accra, Ghana, setting up the readings that follow. Alamo tells listeners the program regularly receives correspondence from around the world thanking the ministry for its broadcasts and requesting literature. Letters from Ghana Sharon reads two letters from listeners in Ghana who describe hearing the ministry's broadcast on Radio Africa. The first, signed by Eli from Accra, thanks the ministry for what he calls a heaven-bound broadcast that is converting new believers and turning others back to Christ, and asks for Bibles and study materials for his church members. The second comes from a listener named Bismark in North Ghana, who writes that the program has transformed his inner life and is helping him grow more like Jesus despite obstacles, and who likewise requests Bibles, books, and study materials for his fellowship. Tony Alamo responds to both by telling the ministry that anyone doing a genuine work for the Lord will receive whatever literature the ministry has to give, free of charge. He frames the requests as evidence of the broadcast's reach across Africa, before turning to a new piece of his own literature that Sharon will read next, a testimonial he calls Difficult Mountain. The Difficult Mountain Vision Begins Tony Alamo introduces a written testimony called Difficult Mountain, explaining that difficulty is the lot of anyone doing the Lord's work in what he calls the worst of all times, and that the piece stems from a vision God gave him about 42 years earlier, not long after marrying his late wife Susie. Sharon begins reading it aloud: in the vision Alamo climbs a steep mountain with unusual strength while Susie struggles behind him, and the scene shifts from color to black and white as a hellish storm descends, just as it did in an earlier vision foretelling their marriage and shared ministry. The reading connects the vision to their actual wedding at Red Rock Baptist Church in Las Vegas, where a fierce storm struck before the ceremony despite calm weather on either side of it, and recalls singer Hank Snow standing as best man, a stranger at the time who later became a close friend in Nashville. The pastor who married them, the reading says, told them he had never felt the Spirit of the Lord so strongly before. Prophecy, Plagues, and the Shield of Faith The reading continues at length, describing the storm as Satan's ongoing attempt to destroy the ministry's end-time work and casting the shield of faith, defined repeatedly as prayer, as the only way to withstand it. Sharon reads extensive scripture citations tying the vision to the book of Revelation's woman clothed with the sun and the great red dragon, and to warnings throughout Matthew, Thessalonians, and Ephesians to pray without ceasing. The piece draws a direct parallel between the violence God saw in the days of Noah, which led him to destroy the earth by flood, and violence Alamo says is now millions of times worse, arguing the earth's coming judgment will come by fire rather than water. It lists tsunamis, earthquakes, and diseases including cancer, tuberculosis, AIDS, and Ebola as signs of the tribulation already underway, and quotes at length from Genesis, Daniel, Mark, and Second Peter to argue that no human effort, government, or technology can prevent God's plagues from reaching the whole earth. False Prophets, the Salvation Prayer, and Closing Tony Alamo returns to the microphone to warn against what he calls false prophets who teach that Christians can go on sinning after salvation, citing Paul's warnings to Timothy and describing church members who fell back into old lives of addiction and became, in his words, seven times worse than before. He insists believers must stop sinning entirely once saved, comparing ongoing sin to trampling the blood of Christ underfoot, and leads listeners in a spoken salvation prayer confessing belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God who died and rose again, asking him to wash away their sins. Alamo tells listeners who prayed along that they can know they are saved and closes with praise. He then hands the program to Sharon, who reads out the ministry's website, its Texarkana, Texas post office box, and phone and fax numbers for anyone requesting a free copy of program 261. Alamo closes the broadcast leading the room in a final hymn, Onward, Christian Soldiers.

    Tony Alamo, September 13, 2026

    Tony Alamo Sermon 766A Revelation's Kingdoms, the Woman and the Dragon, and a Call to Salvation in Program 766 Tony Alamo continues his verse-by-verse walk through the Book of Revelation, reading of the kingdoms of the world becoming Christ's kingdom, the woman clothed with the sun, and the great red dragon, before leading listeners in a spoken salvation prayer. Opening Prayer and Program Introduction A recorded announcer opens the broadcast for Help from Christ Ministries, inviting listeners who feel inspired to write in. Tony Alamo takes over, identifying himself as world pastor and naming the program number seven hundred sixty-six, part of an ongoing series moving straight through the Book of Revelation. He tells listeners that co-host Sharon will explain near the end of the hour how to request a free copy on CD or audio tape, postage included. Alamo leads an opening prayer asking God for a bigger anointing on the broadcast, for listeners' hearts to receive the Bible's symbolic language the way a small child receives things from a trusted parent, and for every demonic spirit fighting against people's spirits to be rebuked and destroyed. He prays for souls to be saved and the church strengthened, closing in Jesus' name, and the congregation answers with an audible amen. A Recorded Hymn of His Own Once the prayer ends, Tony Alamo tells the room that mankind is not nearly as benevolent toward one another as God is, then introduces a song he recorded some time earlier, Where Man's Love Stops Is Where God's Begins. The broadcast plays the full recording, several minutes of Alamo's own performance, before he returns to the microphone praising the Lord and turning to teaching. He tells listeners it is good to know the Bible because knowing the word means knowing Jesus, since Jesus is the word made flesh, citing the opening of the Gospel of John that in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word became flesh. He says seeing God react in human flesh shows believers how to act when they carry the power of God within them, setting up the chapter-by-chapter walk through Revelation that follows for the rest of the hour. Revelation Eleven and the Kingdoms Made His Alamo moves into chapter eleven of Revelation, reading that the second woe is past and the third woe comes quickly, and reminding listeners the Lord promised to shorten the tribulation because no one could endure it otherwise. He reads that the seventh angel sounds and voices in heaven declare the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ, insisting this proves the world does not belong to Satan and that believers who are Christ's will reign forever. He continues through the twenty-four elders falling on their faces to worship, thanking God for taking his great power and reigning over everything, and reads that the nations are angry because two witnesses of God were killed and have since risen and ascended into heaven before onlookers. He reads on to God's wrath arriving, the time for the dead to be judged, and reward promised to the prophets and saints, alongside a passage in which Alamo sharply condemns politicians and world leaders as destroyers of the earth. The Woman, the Dragon, and the Crown Alamo turns to chapter twelve and its vision of a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head. He explains the woman as the body of Christ, true spiritual Israel, insisting not every Jew is Israel but only those who fear God's name and keep his commandments, and identifies the twelve stars as the twelve tribes. He reads that she cries out in labor, applying the pain of childbirth to the persecution believers face every time they lead someone to the Lord, and tells listeners that soul winners have more children than parents ever do. He then reads of a great red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns, naming it Satan, whose tail sweeps a third of heaven's stars to earth and who stands before the woman ready to devour her newborn child, which Alamo says represents Satan trying to corrupt believers the moment they are born again with pride. Submission, Pride, and the Antichrist Alamo reads First Peter chapter five, telling younger believers to submit to the elder who leads the church, naming himself as that teacher, and to be clothed with humility since pride is a sin unto death. He turns to Second Thessalonians chapter two, describing the antichrist as one who exalts himself above everything called God and sits in the temple of God, which Alamo says means the human heart itself, since pride gives Satan an easy foothold in every person. He shares a personal aside, recalling the Lord once telling him it is good for his ego that someone named Susie is smarter than him, admitting he had not realized he carried pride at all. When he asks the congregation what such pride and ego amount to, a voice calls back blasphemy, and Alamo repeats the word in agreement. Reading Revelation thirteen, verses three through five, he identifies the beast's head wounded to death as the Roman Catholic Church and repeats his warning against political and government leaders, calling them destroyers doing Satan's work on earth. Salvation Prayer and Closing Information Alamo tells listeners that being born again is required to enter heaven, since all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, and leads them through a spoken salvation prayer confessing belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, that he died and rose again, and inviting him into the heart to wash away sin. He tells anyone who prayed along that they can know their prayer was heard and answered, and asks them to raise their hands and thank the Lord for saving their souls. He then turns to Sharon, who tells the audience how to request a free copy of program seven hundred sixty-six, giving the ministry's website, an email address, a Hollywood, California post office box, and a phone number. Alamo closes by identifying himself once more as world pastor Tony Alamo, promising more from the Book of Revelation the next day, and blessing listeners. A recorded announcer returns to close the broadcast, repeating Help from Christ Ministries' phone number and email for listener responses.

    Tony Alamo, September 11, 2026

    Tony Alamo Episode 260 How To Have God's Life Living In You Part 158, Mad Cow Warnings, Rome, and Letters From Zambia, India, and Ghana Tony Alamo continues part 158 of his teaching series with a warning against beef and dairy tied to mad cow disease, an extended argument that Rome and the Vatican sit behind world events, and listener letters read by co-host Sharon Alamo from Zambia, South India, and Ghana. Opening Prayer and Program Introduction Tony Alamo opens program number two hundred sixty, part one hundred fifty-eight of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners that his co-host Sharon Alamo will later explain how to request a free tape or CD. He recalls receiving salvation without cost decades earlier and says he has now spent forty-two years in the ministry, adding that he is willing to continue for another forty-two if the Lord wills it, though he says he would rather be present with the Lord than remain in his own body. He tells the congregation that letters have arrived from foreign lands and that he will continue a message begun the previous day from the twelfth chapter of the Book of Job. Before returning to scripture, he leads an opening prayer asking to be anointed so that souls will be saved through the broadcast and that the church will not grow lukewarm, closing with an amen answered by the congregation. Gospel Song and Signs of the End Times After the prayer, Alamo introduces a recording he made with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet titled I, John, and the broadcast plays the performance in full. Returning to the microphone, he describes the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as a double-edged sword that either saves a soul that receives it or, if rejected, swings back and sends that soul to hell, adding that hesitating to decide amounts to rejection. He tells listeners the world is already in the tribulation period's beginning of sorrows, pointing to earthquakes, tsunamis, and disease as proof, and claims that one in three people in Africa has AIDS or Ebola and that roughly one in four Americans carries a serious illness. He names heart disease and cancer as leading killers he says were far less common only years ago, and blames contaminated food and Washington lobbyists for food companies for keeping the extent of the contamination hidden from the public, a claim offered as his own view rather than a verified statistic. Warnings About Beef and Dairy Alamo turns to a warning he says the Lord gave him personally years earlier, telling him to stop eating beef and dairy products despite his fondness for cheese, butter, and ice cream. He recalls not questioning the instruction but testing it repeatedly and finding it confirmed, and says health food books are now catching up to what he was told long ago. He invites Sharon Alamo to summarize a book recently received about mad cow disease, and she explains that its author, who writes about deception by drug companies, argues the disease has jumped species into humans and cites a nine thousand percent rise in Alzheimer's diagnoses over twenty years, which the author attributes partly to mad cow disease rather than confirmed Alzheimer's. Alamo adds that the beef industry would collapse if the public understood what the author describes, and ties the warning to dairy as well, since milk and cheese come from the same animals he says now carry disease, presenting the claims as the book's findings rather than his own medical judgment. Rome, the Vatican, and World Events Alamo shifts to what he calls the confusion Satan spreads through shifting scapegoats, arguing that news coverage points at Iraq, North Korea, Iran, the Muslim world, the ACLU, the Communists, and other groups in turn while avoiding what he insists is the true root, Rome and the Vatican, which he calls the seat of the Antichrist world government and world media. He singles out a Florida broadcaster he and Sharon identify as James Kennedy for raising money to fight the ACLU rather than confronting Rome directly, contrasting this with the Apostle Paul, who he says simply preached the gospel rather than battling individual branches of opposition. He recalls living in Israel and being welcomed by Arabs and Palestinians who called him Yahudi, and describes sharing a prison cell with a Palestinian who told him the two peoples have always lived together peacefully except where outside agitators stir up hatred. He then references a television segment in which Bill Clinton reportedly called the Waco raid his worst mistake, expressing hope that Clinton's remorse signals a search for salvation. Letters From Zambia, India, and Ghana With the political discussion finished, Alamo turns to listener mail, which Sharon Alamo reads aloud. The first letter comes from Pastor Evans Chileshe in Kasama, Zambia, who writes that he was once a witch doctor who consulted evil spirits and took money from people until, he says, lightning struck and blinded him in 1996, an event he credits to Jesus Christ rather than the devil; Alamo compares the blinding to the Apostle Paul's thorn in the flesh and says the man was later called into the ministry and now runs a small community school and cares for twenty orphans and widows. A second letter comes from a writer identified only as P.S. in Pedapudi, South India, thanking Alamo for Telugu Bibles and literature already sent and requesting more copies for a poor congregation. A third, from a twenty-nine-year-old named Joseph in Koforidua, Ghana, describes praying along with a broadcast and feeling something leave him, then asking for basic necessities of life, which Alamo says he arranged to send. Return to Job and Closing Salvation Call Alamo returns to the previous day's teaching from Job chapter twelve, having Sharon read that wisdom belongs to the aged and understanding to those who have lived many years, which he applies as a rebuke to young people he says have been taught by government and schools to dismiss their elders. As Sharon continues reading verses describing God removing the understanding of kings, silencing trusted advisers, and making nations rise and fall, Alamo ties America's declining global standing to the removal of God from schools and courtrooms. Sharon recounts a dream she had during an afternoon nap and connects it to the prophetic dreams recorded in the Book of Daniel, noting that people are often troubled when told what such dreams foretell. With time running short, Alamo leads listeners through a spoken salvation prayer inviting Jesus Christ into their hearts, then has Sharon give the ministry's website, Texarkana, Texas post office box, phone, and fax numbers before closing the broadcast with a performance of his own song, You Can't Take It with You.

    Tony Alamo, September 10, 2026

    Tony Alamo How To Have God's Life Living In You Part 157, A Marriage Vision and Letters From Ivory Coast Tony Alamo continues part 157 of his teaching series, reading listener letters from Ivory Coast, the Solomon Islands, a Texas prison, and Pennsylvania, retelling the vision that led to his marriage to Susie Alamo, and teaching from the Book of Job that true wisdom belongs to the aged. Opening Prayer and Program Introduction Tony Alamo opens the broadcast identifying it as program number 259, part 157 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, and tells listeners that Sharon will later explain how to request a free tape or CD, postage included. He leads an opening prayer describing the present age as the Battle of Armageddon, a mountain the faithful are climbing while darkness tries to stop the gospel from reaching lost souls, and affirms that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit acted together at the immaculate conception. He recalls receiving what he calls a supernatural witness of God forty-two years earlier in an office in Beverly Hills and says he remains as zealous today. He asks God to anoint the broadcast, heal the sick, and strengthen the church, closing with an amen answered by a second voice in the studio. He then introduces a recording of Mister D.J., a song he says Frank Sinatra, Billy Strange, and Nancy Sinatra gave him, and the program plays it in full. Letters From Ivory Coast and the Solomon Islands With the prayer and song finished, Tony Alamo turns to listener mail, and Sharon reads aloud two letters from overseas. The first comes from a man named Bayard in Soubré, Ivory Coast, who describes discovering the ministry's newsletter through a student and being moved by literature titled Earthquake and Love and Affection, and he asks for the book The Messiah along with as many world newsletters as possible, closing with a line from Psalm 145. The second letter, from a man named Paulsen in Malaita Province, Solomon Islands, thanks the ministry for two packets of twelve tapes on How to Have God's Life Living in You and reports that he distributes the newsletter faster than any other supply he receives locally. He asks for thirty-three Bibles, more tapes, and newsletters, plus a small electric generator so his mission meetings can use light other than kerosene lamps. Alamo instructs Sharon to send everything requested except the generator, explaining that in his ministry's experience generators run too loudly for a congregation thirty feet away to hear preaching. A Prison Letter and the Beatles Album Story Sharon reads two more letters, one from a woman named Deborah, incarcerated in a Texarkana, Texas facility, who says Alamo's publication Mass Suicide confirmed prophecies she has been studying and asks for the book The Messiah, and one from a woman named Susan in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania, who listens on shortwave and encloses a freewill offering with her request for tapes and literature. Alamo responds by recalling his own imprisonment for preaching the gospel, rejecting the label jailhouse salvation that some applied to him while acknowledging it can be real for others who sincerely turn to the Lord behind bars. He then answers accusations that he runs the ministry for money, saying he owns unreleased Beatles record masters reportedly worth fifty to one hundred million dollars, a gift from original drummer Pete Best, whose mother owned the club where the band played; Best, he says, promised him an album in exchange for handling his promotion. Alamo argues no one endures the persecution and slander he has faced purely for financial gain, only out of love and fear of the Lord. The Vision That Led To Tony and Susie's Marriage Reading ahead to the Book of Job, Alamo digresses into a personal story he says proves wisdom comes only with age and experience. Newly saved and unmarried, he describes a vision of kneeling beside Susie as she slept and kissing her, an image that turned from color to a shimmering white-hot outline while, he says, the Holy Spirit repeated, 'It's true.' He felt unworthy since Susie had been saved twenty-five years to his few months. Unknown to him, Susie had her own vision that same night of the two of them walking through a rose arbor in wedding clothes, with God telling her doubts that Tony, though young, was strong. The next day, after a painful toothache from a cookie, Alamo tells her about his dream on the way to the dentist; she already knew. They married three times in Las Vegas, Susie insisting on satisfying the law of the land, and Alamo recalls promoting a singer named Rovan, who became a superstar within ninety days despite doubts that leaving entertainment for ministry had cost him his mind. Job Chapter Twelve and the Wisdom of the Aged Turning to what he calls a paraphrase of the Book of Job's twelfth chapter, since he finds some modern translations hard to follow, Alamo has Sharon read verse by verse while he comments. He argues that today's culture and church youth wrongly believe wisdom belongs to the young, when scripture ties true wisdom and understanding to age and long experience with God. Job, mocked by friends who claim to know everything, answers that he too calls on the Lord and receives answers, only to be laughed at as corny and stupid, which Alamo compares to accusations leveled against himself. He extends the reading into a broader complaint about what he calls the autonomy of man, a mythical, irrational belief that people can govern themselves outside scripture, blaming the United Nations, the news media, and what he terms the Antichrist church in Rome for promoting abortion, homosexuality, and disregard for the biblical death penalty of stoning, positions he offers as his own reading of prophecy rather than settled fact. Salvation Prayer and Closing Song With his time nearly up, Alamo tells listeners the message will continue the next day and leads a spoken salvation prayer, inviting anyone listening to confess belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, accept his death and resurrection, and invite him into their heart, assuring them that faith alone secures the promise that all who call on the Lord's name will be saved. Sharon then gives four ways to request a free tape or CD of program 259: through the website alamoministries.com, by writing to Tony Alamo Christian Ministries at its Texarkana, Texas post office box, or by calling or faxing the ministry's Arkansas-area numbers. Before closing, Alamo mentions meeting Kris Kristofferson, calling him a sincere man, and introduces a recording he made of Kristofferson's song Why Me Lord, reflecting on his own gratitude that God chose to save him. The broadcast ends with Alamo's performance of the song, closing out an hour built around prayer, testimony letters, a vision story, and scripture teaching on wisdom and age.

    Tony Alamo How To Have God's Life Living In You Part 156: Shield of Faith, Difficulty Mountains, and Ghana Letters Tony Alamo devotes program 258, part 156 of his teaching series, to the shield of faith, reads his decades-old vision of a mountain climb with his late wife Susie, shares conversion letters from Ghana, and hears salvation testimonies from Leah Swetten and his wife Sharon Alamo. Opening Prayer and Shield of Faith Teaching Tony Alamo opens the broadcast identifying it as program number 258, part 156 of his ongoing series How to Have God's Life Living in You, and tells listeners a free tape or CD copy is available for the asking. He leads an opening prayer built around the shield of faith, explaining that faith and prayer are the same shield, since it is God who quenches, in his words, all the fiery darts aimed at believers. He asks for the outward anointing of the Holy Spirit to fall on the service, for the sick to be healed, for souls to be saved, and for those who have fallen away to return before it is too late, closing with an amen answered by co-host Jeannie Alamo. He then performs his own recording of Where Man's Love Stops, God's Love Begins, and afterward reminds listeners not to put their trust in man but to raise the shield of faith through constant prayer. Letters From Ghana With the song finished, Tony Alamo turns to co-host Jeannie Alamo for the mail. She reads first from a listener named Mustafa in Ghana, who writes that the ministry's World Newsletter has changed his life, that everyone he shares it with has received Jesus as Savior, and who asks for more literature, a visit to the ministry, and a 3X t-shirt like ones he has seen others wearing. Alamo tells staff to send the t-shirt along with more literature and Messiah booklets. Jeannie then reads a second letter, from a young man named Enoch in Mankessim, Ghana, who says he accepted Christ after reading Alamo's booklet The Messiah and asks for Bibles, preaching cassettes, t-shirts, a Bible dictionary, and a concordance for his church. Alamo compares the volume of mail to what he recalls from the old Perry Como Show, saying he has never seen letters like these from anywhere else in his career. The Difficulty Mountains Vision Jeannie Alamo then reads a lengthy piece of Alamo's own literature called Difficulty Mountains, describing a vision he says came shortly after marrying his late wife Susie. In it he climbs a steep mountain with unusual strength while Susie struggles behind him, and the scene shifts from color to black and white, just as it did in an earlier vision foretelling their marriage and shared ministry, as a hellish storm descends. He connects the vision to their actual wedding at Red Rock Baptist Church in Las Vegas, where a storm struck before the ceremony, and recalls that singer Hank Snow, a stranger to him at the time, stood as best man, a detail Alamo corrects on air from Las Vegas to Nashville as their later meeting place. The reading interprets the storm as decades of persecution against the ministry orchestrated, in Alamo's telling, through Rome, the media, and world government, a claim offered as his own understanding of prophecy rather than settled fact, and closes urging listeners to endure to the end. A Spoken Salvation Prayer Turning from the reading, Tony Alamo leads listeners through a spoken salvation prayer, asking them to tell the Lord they believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that God raised him from the dead, and to invite him into their hearts to wash away sin. He tells listeners their prayer has been heard and answered and that they can know they are saved, then leads a longer prayer of thanksgiving, describing the Holy Spirit entering a believer's spirit as being raised from death to life and seated in heavenly places. He tells anyone who has prayed along to raise their hands and worship, framing the moment as the practical answer to the sermon's theme, since the shield of faith is itself the act of praying such words aloud. He then calls for a volunteer from among those present to come forward and share a personal testimony on the air, telling the room not to be nervous despite the broadcast reaching, he estimates, several hundred million listeners worldwide. Testimonies From Leah Swetten and Sharon Alamo A woman who identifies herself as Leah Swetten steps up first, saying she was saved more than sixteen years earlier after years as an alcoholic and drug addict in Reno, Nevada, feeling hopeless despite sensing a calling on her life. She says a piece of the ministry's gospel literature reached her, that she prayed the salvation prayer printed in it, and that she was invited to join and serve the ministry, where she remains today. Tony Alamo then introduces his wife, Sharon Alamo, noting she shares his Romanian Jewish heritage and was bat mitzvahed. Sharon recalls a childhood in an Orthodox home in California where the rituals never felt meaningful, describes asking God as a child to flicker her bedroom light as a sign about Jesus, and later feeling a supernatural wind confirm that Jesus was the Messiah. She says she tried other churches before finding this ministry, where the teaching matched scripture, and credits the Lord with the husband she since married. Closing Teaching and Program Information Alamo closes the hour by returning to teaching, drawing a parallel between the violence that led God to send the flood in Noah's day and the violence he sees in the world today, and stating that God will next purge the Earth with fire rather than water. He calls Rome, in the biblical sense of a corrupt world church and media system, the source of the era's violence, including the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center, a claim offered as his own reading of prophecy. He then discusses David's many wives, arguing polygamy given by God is not itself condemned in scripture even as adultery and homosexuality clearly are, urging listeners to read the Bible carefully before judging others. Sharon Alamo closes by giving the ministry's website, Texarkana, Texas post office box, and phone and fax numbers for requesting a free copy of program 258 on tape or CD. Alamo signs off with a final song, Let Him Be All You Need for Tomorrow.

    Tony Alamo, September 8, 2026

    Tony Alamo How To Have God's Life Living In You Part 155, The Shield of Faith and Letters From Nigeria and Ghana Tony Alamo devotes program 257, part 155 of his teaching series, to prayer as a shield of faith, walking through Moses's intercession over the golden calf, reading listener letters from Nigeria, Ghana, and Elizabeth, New Jersey, and leading two calls to salvation with co-hosts Jean and Sharon. Opening Prayer and Extra-Biblical Books Tony Alamo opens the broadcast by identifying it as part 155 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, program number 257, and tells listeners that Sharon will explain how to receive a free tape or CD of the message. He builds his message around the shield of prayer, recalling how Moses intercedes with God after Aaron and the people of Israel build a golden calf and fall into idolatry while Moses is on the mountain. He argues that Moses uses scripture and God's own promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to plead for the nation rather than simple pleading. He then turns to what he considers extra, authentic books of scripture, including the Book of Enoch, the Book of Adam and Eve, and Solomon's Book of Wisdom, which he says the Catholic church removed from its version of the Bible even as it retained others, a claim he presents as his own understanding rather than settled fact. A Prayer Against the Ministry's Enemies Alamo leads an extended prayer asking God to strengthen believers and to deal with those he describes as enemies of soul-winning churches, people he believes were once saved but have turned away and now fight ministries doing the Lord's work. He compares this opposition to the Apostle Paul before his conversion, recalling how Jesus asked Paul on the road to Damascus why he was persecuting him, and argues that anyone who fights a true church is really fighting God. He asks that these people repent and return, but if they will not, he asks God to pour coals of fire on their heads, a plea he repeats more than once, and to stop them from, in his words, cumbering the earth. He frames the request as following Moses's example of using scripture, rather than mere emotion, when interceding with God. Jean answers with an emphatic amen as the prayer closes. Gospel Music and Letters From Abroad With the prayer finished, Alamo introduces Swing Down Chariot, a recording he made with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, and the program plays an extended performance of the song. Afterward he turns to listener mail with co-host Jean, who reads letters from people reached through Alamo's literature, radio broadcasts, and website. A reverend named Mbekera writes from Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria, describing how the ministry's booklets helped a friend leave decades in the occult and asking how to distribute the literature locally. A caller from Elizabeth, New Jersey, a school security guard, praises the newsletter and asks for copies to share with Bible study groups in his schools. A third letter, from a man named Samuel in Ghana, thanks Alamo for his own conversion through the literature and requests fifty booklets and ten Bibles. Alamo responds to each by tying salvation to prayer, calling it the believer's shield against opposition and family pressure. Exodus and the Golden Calf Alamo then turns to Sharon for scripture, opening to Exodus chapter thirty-two, verse eight, where God describes Israel's idolatry after Aaron casts the golden calf. As Sharon reads verse by verse, Alamo comments that the calf could not speak, breathe, or walk, and warns against modern people worshiping money, pleasure, or anything besides God as breaking the first commandment. He explains God's warning to Moses, "let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot," as evidence that intercessory prayer can genuinely move God's decisions, since Alamo teaches God will not act against a person who stands on scripture and covenant promises. Jean interjects that of roughly three million Israelites delivered from Egypt, only Joshua and Caleb survived the ensuing forty years in the wilderness. Alamo also recalls the story of Sennacherib's army, wiped out overnight by a single angel, offering it as further proof that God intervenes decisively for and against nations depending on their obedience. The Armor of God and Conditional Prayer Sharon continues reading from the apocryphal Book of Wisdom, where Moses is described as bringing forward the shield of his ministry, even prayer, to overcome the destroyer sent among the people. Alamo builds on this to describe the full armor of God, listing the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, and the belt of truth, and insists that none of these are automatic; each depends on conditions such as asking, seeking, and knocking, citing Matthew chapter seven and chapter twenty-one on prayer being answered. He tells listeners that faith without such works is dead. The discussion turns political when Alamo insists that the disputed land belongs to Israel rather than the Palestinians, and criticizes efforts to install democracy in Iran and Iraq as, in his view, dictatorship directed from Rome, framing these as his own interpretation of prophecy rather than settled fact. He closes by leading listeners through a spoken salvation prayer inviting Jesus into their hearts. Salvation Prayer and Closing Blessing Alamo leads the salvation prayer to its conclusion, telling listeners who have prayed along that their sins are washed away and their souls saved, and asking them to raise their hands in thanks. Sharon then gives four ways to request a free tape or CD of the broadcast, postage included: through the website alamoministries.com, by writing to Tony Alamo Christian Ministries at its Texarkana, Texas post office box, or by phone or fax at the ministry's Arkansas-area numbers. Alamo closes with a reminder that only those who continue to the end will be saved, signs off as World Pastor Tony Alamo, and urges listeners not to grow weary despite hardship. A prerecorded announcer follows with a statement about Christians facing persecution and institutionalization, declaring, 'Arise, Christian America, the King is coming,' before the broadcast ends with a musical performance of Onward Christian Soldiers, closing out an hour built around prayer, testimony letters, and scripture.
