Ep202, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 100, The Word Made Flesh, the Power to Overcome Sin, and the Call to Endure
Six-Paragraph Summary
Hebrews as the Center of the Message
Tony Alamo opens program 202 by identifying it as part 100 of “How to Have God’s Life Living in You.” He says the episode will expose what he calls heresy among prominent ministers and focuses heavily on the book of Hebrews. He argues that Paul wrote Hebrews and says the book must be understood as the Word of God rather than merely as Paul’s personal language or style. This framing sets up the rest of the episode as a doctrinal argument about Christ’s humanity, obedience, holiness, and the believer’s need to overcome sin.
Christ’s Flesh, Blood, and Victory Over Sin
The central scripture reading comes from Hebrews 2:14 and Hebrews 2:17. Alamo emphasizes that Jesus partook of the same flesh and blood as humanity, arguing that Christ had human flesh, human blood, and human bone while also having the Spirit of God in Him. He uses this interpretation to teach that Jesus overcame sin in the flesh, and that believers who have Christ living in them can also overcome sin. This becomes his main argument against any teaching that suggests people are inherently unable to live in obedience to God.
Direct Criticism of Other Ministers
Alamo strongly criticizes Reverend Hagey and Charles Stanley, accusing them of teaching doctrines he considers false. He objects to claims that Jesus had “the blood of God” rather than human blood, and he also rejects the doctrine that all past, present, and future sins are forgiven regardless of continued obedience. He frames such teaching as lawlessness and warns that people who preach it are misleading souls. These claims are presented in the transcript as Alamo’s own doctrinal judgments and warnings.
The Spirit, the Word, and the Power to Endure
Throughout the sermon, Alamo connects the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and the power to endure to the end. He argues that God upholds all things by the word of His power and applies that idea to believers, saying they too can be upheld if they submit to God and remain in His Word. He teaches that reading scripture, believing it, praying without ceasing, and remaining steadfast are essential to having God’s life living in a person. He also repeatedly warns against unbelief, which he describes as the central sin that prevents salvation.
Angels, Ministers, Visions, and Spiritual Warfare
Alamo discusses angels as “ministering winds” or spirits and says both angels and people have wills. He uses this to argue that believers must choose to believe scripture and resist Satan. He also tells a personal story about praying for a woman named Verna, whom he describes as demon-possessed, connecting that story to the biblical account of Legion. These sections reinforce the episode’s themes of spiritual warfare, demonic deception, the need to study scripture, and the danger of false ministers.
The Salvation Prayer and Closing Appeal
Near the end, Alamo turns the sermon into a direct appeal for listeners to receive Christ as their personal Savior. He leads a salvation prayer, asking listeners to confess belief in Jesus as the Son of God, His death on the cross, His shed blood, and His resurrection by the Holy Spirit. Sharon then gives contact information for receiving the audio tape, CD, Bible, or literature free of charge. Alamo closes by urging listeners to continue with the next program on Hebrews and to remain controlled by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God.
