Tony Alamo opens program 279, part 177 of his series How to Have
God's Life Living in You, reminding listeners that CDs, tapes,
Bibles, and a Messiah book detailing 333 Old Testament prophecies
are all available free, with postage and handling covered. He calls
the Messiah book the best witnessing tool for reaching Jews because
it puts the Old Testament prophecies in plain language. Alamo says
the ministry has produced hundreds of pieces of literature and
thousands of tapes, plus a radio program airing at least seven days
a week, and he invites listeners to sponsor a station or newspaper
to spread the message further. He reminds listeners that tithes and
offerings are a commandment, not a robbery of the Lord, and warns
against the many programs he says preach a false gospel. He quotes
the apostle Paul's warning that anyone preaching a different gospel
is accursed, repeating the word twice for emphasis. The Marriage
Supper and a Prison Testimony Alamo turns to the fourteenth chapter
of Luke, describing the invitation to the marriage supper of the
Lamb and the excuses people make, buying cars, attending weddings,
hosting parties, instead of answering the call. He cites the Lord's
warning that anyone who places father, mother, wife, or husband
above him is not worthy, and lists sins from Proverbs six,
including lying and vain imaginings. Alamo then recounts his own
imprisonment, saying prosecutors hid books and records and falsely
claimed in court that he had hidden them, a fact he says would have
changed the jury's verdict. He describes a six-year sentence of
which he served four years plus a half year in a halfway house, and
says Judge McCalla in Memphis, Tennessee ignored the evidence when
it was later presented. Alamo insists he holds no bitterness toward
the Lord for the punishment, saying believers must examine
themselves in the Bible as in a mirror rather than blame God.
Liars, a Prayer, and Jack Holcomb's Song Alamo declares that liars
and false accusers worship Satan, the father of all lies, drawing
an amen from a woman in the congregation. He introduces the hour's
testimonials, Bible readings, and music, praising gospel singer
Jack Holcomb for singing with sincerity rather than the drums,
horns, or rap styles Alamo calls close to blasphemy before the
Lord. He then leads a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to anoint the
service, to humble the congregation before God's throne, and to
open the stubborn, distracted minds of listeners to the suffering
and resurrection of Jesus. He prays that the lost will be saved,
the lukewarm drawn close, and the faithful strengthened, closing in
Jesus' name to another amen from the congregation. Alamo then
introduces Jack Holcomb's recording of Anywhere With Jesus, telling
listeners the song means no harm can come to those who go wherever
the Lord sends them. A Hit Man's Confession and a Stolen Church
After the song, Alamo tells of a former hit man named Gary Larison
who once came to him trembling, confessing he had planned to kill
him with a .357 Magnum before the Lord warned Larison he would die
of cancer instead. Alamo says he had the gun thrown into a deep
lake, and that Larison was later diagnosed with cancer, saw what he
called the death angel in a Los Angeles hospital, and dropped dead
on the floor. He says the body was embalmed and returned to Dyer,
Arkansas, where the ministry had built a large church that the
government later confiscated, which Alamo calls outright thievery
rather than legitimate seizure. He says Larison's widow, Vicki,
remains in the church and can confirm the story, which he dates to
roughly twenty-three or twenty-four years earlier, shortly after
the death of his late wife Susie from cancer. Alamo says he remains
unafraid because the Lord is always with him. Power Not Grace, and
the Price of Wealth Alamo teaches that the original scripture
describes Jesus arriving with power and truth, not the softened
grace of modern translations, insisting the Lord is the most
powerful being in the universe rather than a graceful or effeminate
figure. He retells the parable of the prodigal son, who demanded
his inheritance, squandered it, and returned repentant to his
father's house. Alamo connects the parable to the deaths of former
President Gerald Ford at ninety-three and singer James Brown at
seventy-three, asking what their wealth and position were worth in
the end. He also describes Rockefeller surviving only on mother's
milk pumped into bottles and tested in a laboratory, and asks what
good such riches do without serving God. He urges wealthy
listeners, naming Bill Gates, to give at least ten percent to fund
evangelism, warning that the end times are near and that people are
storing up treasure just as they did in the days of Noah before the
flood. Listener Testimonies and a Sinner's Prayer Co-host Sharon
reads letters describing the ministry's Dry Bones and Place
Yourself literature reprinted in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the
Chicago Tribune, the New York Daily News, and the Arkansas
Democrat-Gazette, including a Little Rock woman who once considered
Alamo a cult leader but now wants a closer walk with God. Alamo
responds by criticizing the Cult Awareness Network and the satanic
media for branding true Christians as evil, then defends scriptural
marriage customs, citing the Lost Books of the Bible's account of
an eleven-year-old Rebekah marrying Isaac. Sharon reads from
Proverbs chapter six on the things the Lord hates, prompting Alamo
to condemn lying tongues and the shedding of innocent blood through
abortion. Alamo closes by leading a spoken sinner's prayer
confessing Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God, and Sharon
gives the ministry's website, Texarkana post office box, phone, and
fax numbers. Alamo signs off as World Pastor Tony Alamo before Jack
Holcomb's song Tell It to Jesus plays.
