Tony Alamo
Teachings On Numbers 16, A Hitler Speech On Sovereignty, And A Song With J.D. Sumner And The Stamps
World pastor Tony Alamo preaches program 296, part 194 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, praying against the Vatican and the United Nations, reading an excerpt from a Hitler speech, performing a recording of 'I, John' with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, reading listener letters from Arkansas and Minnesota, recounting the vision behind his salvation, and teaching from the sixteenth chapter of Numbers on Korah's rebellion.
Program Opens With A Prayer Against Rome
Tony Alamo opens program number 296, part 194 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, telling listeners to keep paper and pens ready, since Sharon will explain at the close of the hour how to request a copy. He previews songs, testimonials, an excerpt from a Hitler speech he will read in English, and a Bible message from the sixteenth chapter of Numbers. Alamo leads an extended opening prayer, thanking God for the Commonwealth of the Kingdom of Heaven and for power over devils, sickness, and the grave. He prays against what he calls the Antichrist Catholic cult centered in Rome, blaming the Vatican for steering the United Nations vote that sent American automobile, electronics, and garment industries to Japan and China, and for stripping the nation's sovereignty. He asks the Lord to destroy anyone who will not be saved and to strengthen the church, and the congregation answers with a spoken amen.
Reading Hitler's Speech On Sovereignty
Alamo reads a lengthy excerpt from a Hitler speech, performing it in English and then unpacking each line, arguing that Hitler refused to let the United Nations govern Germany's production, tides, or sovereignty, and insisting the same principle should have kept the United States out of the UN. He contends that joining it cost the nation its Constitution and Bill of Rights the way Esau traded away his birthright, allowing a vote of 199 nations to hand the automobile, electronics, and garment industries to Japan and China and close steel mills in Cleveland. Alamo claims General MacArthur and General Patton were fired because America was too strong to need the UN, and that Eisenhower, campaigned on as 'I like Ike,' was installed as a one-world Vatican puppet. He adds that the dictionary defines Bolshevik government as democratic dictatorship, telling listeners that description now fits their own country.
I, John With J.D. Sumner And The Stamps
Before the song, Alamo teaches briefly on the book of Revelation, explaining that the apostle John, who also wrote the Gospel of John and three epistles, identified the Antichrist as a corporate body of people rather than one man, just as believers form the corporate body of Christ. He warns that the devil wants to move into that temple, telling the congregation they themselves are God's temple, and that Jesus requires believers to deny themselves and take up the cross rather than live an easy life. He then plays a recording of 'I, John,' taped with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps at the Johnny Cash studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Afterward Alamo recalls his son Mike, a jockey who won more than 2,100 races, mistaking the recording for Elvis Presley, a compliment Alamo laughs off while insisting he knows better than to let it inflate his ego.
Letters From Arkansas And Minnesota
Sharon reads a letter from DJ in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, who praises Alamo's teaching on KAAY 1090 AM and his article in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, requesting newsletters, the booklet The Messiah, and a free Bible. Alamo responds by insisting President Bush is not truly behind troop increases in Iraq, claiming the Vatican dictates the decision and that Bush would be assassinated like Kennedy if he refused, citing a man named John Peteraltrek, described as a former FBI and BATF undercover agent, who said the government once tried to hire him to kill Alamo. He recalls refusing even to shoot a skunk as a young man and accuses the media of dehumanizing audiences with footage of killings while ignoring deaths he attributes to the Vatican and to abortion. Sharon then reads a second letter, from Julie in Woodbury, Minnesota, who found Alamo's article 'Difficult Mountains' in the Star Tribune and requests The Messiah booklet, which Alamo answers by urging Christians who feel betrayed to cry out to God for vengeance rather than seek it themselves.
A Vision From The Night He Was Saved
Turning toward his message from Numbers, Alamo compares his own call to Moses being addressed from the burning bush, describing an audible voice in an office years ago commanding him to tell a room of people that Jesus is returning or face damnation, an episode he says is recorded in his tract Dry Bones and Signs of the Time. He recounts visiting various churches afterward, including a Greek Orthodox congregation in Los Angeles where a priest offered him a drink from a bar inside the sanctuary, before meeting his late wife Susie, who first asked him whether he knew Jesus was returning. He describes a vision of Susie in blue velour pants and a red velour top, her hair suddenly short, in which he knelt and kissed her while two pipes carried millions of unspoken questions up to heaven and answers flooding back, the Holy Spirit repeating 'it's true' as a glowing, wrought-iron ring burned into his soul, convincing him he had been called as surely as Moses.
Korah's Rebellion And A Closing Invitation
Alamo reads the opening of Numbers chapter sixteen, where Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and On rise up against Moses and Aaron, and warns members of his own congregation and critics outside it against claiming the same standing as himself, Moses, Aaron, or the Apostle Paul, recalling that Miriam was struck with leprosy for opposing Moses. Running out of time, he promises to continue the chapter the next day and leads a spoken sinner's prayer inviting Jesus into the heart and promising forgiveness through his shed blood to anyone who prays it sincerely, asking listeners to raise their hands in response unless they are driving. Sharon then gives four ways to request program 296, specifying audio tape or CD: the website alamoministries.com, the ministry's post office box in Texarkana, Texas, a phone number, and a fax number. Alamo signs off as 'real Pastor Tony Alamo,' promises a powerful message from Numbers sixteen the next day, and the broadcast closes with H.B. Barnum's Life Choir performing the Life Prayer Song.
