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.
