GRAPES

by Tony Alamo

GOD said, “It is not good that man should live alone,” so HE made him a help mate (Genesis 2:18). But was she really a help mate? No she wasn’t. She caused him to sin, and because of her, she caused the entire human race to be on their way to Hell. Because of her, CHRIST, in HIS mercy, had to die, to save what this “help mate” started.

Women have a hard time keeping themselves straight. Even if they have a Spiritually strong husband, they are unable to keep the rules. They won’t listen to GOD or to their own husbands, as GOD commands.

Why is this so when we, both men and women, by CHRIST, through HIM, have access to the throne of GOD by one SPIRIT unto the FATHER (Ephesians 2:18)?

If you are really saved, “you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of GOD; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF being the chief cornerstone; in whom all the building fitly framed together growth unto an Holy temple in the LORD: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation [living place] of GOD through the SPIRIT” (Ephesians 2:19-22). We have access to GOD’S throne if we are one of the many righteous ones who, by our study of and our faith in GOD’S WORD, are able to escape heresy! One of the many heresies of the Roman Catholic Church is that Mary the mother of JESUS, our LORD, was sinless and was a perpetual virgin. These are one hundred percent heresies, provable by the Holy infallible Scriptures. Mary was a sinner, as the BIBLE plainly tells us, and she needed a SAVIOR, as all of us do. The only one who was born without sin and was sinless throughout HIS entire life was JESUS and is JESUS. In the book of Luke 1:40, Mary entered into the house of Zechariah, the husband of Elizabeth, and saluted her. “When Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe [John] leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the HOLY SPIRIT and spoke out [in the SPIRIT] with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my LORD should come to me?” Elisabeth said, as soon as she heard the voice of Mary’s salutation, “the babe [the future John the Baptist] leaped in my womb for joy.” So the SPIRIT in Elizabeth stated that Mary was blessed because that she believed. This is in verse 45. We are also blessed when we believe and do the commandments. The devils also believe and tremble (James 2:19). “For there will be a performance of those things which were told her from the LORD. And Mary said, My soul doeth magnify the LORD, and my spirit hath rejoiced in GOD my SAVIOR” (Luke 1:41-47). Here Mary admits that she needs her SAVIOR to save her from her sins. And as for Mary being a perpetual virgin, Matthew 13:55-56 and Mark 6:3 says, “Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not HIS mother called Mary? and HIS brethren [not disciples], James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And HIS sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?”

The devil in the Roman Catholic cult is trying to deify Mary, make her a member of the GODHEAD, but the only deity are GOD the FATHER, GOD the WORD which became the SON, and GOD the HOLY SPIRIT. GOD says there is no queen in HEAVEN. “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; GOD HIMSELF that formed the earth and made it; HE hath established it, HE created it not in vain, HE formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:18).1 If you are saved, you have, by the SPIRIT, access to the throne of GOD, HEAVEN, to see if what I write is true or not. GOD will tell you that HIS WORD is the infallible TRUTH!

The Roman Catholic cult is the unscriptural cult, but they are the ones calling me a cult. Go to my website and see if you are able to find any heresy. You will NOT be able to find ANY!

GOD has a vineyard or a farm. If you have never owned or worked on a farm or a vineyard, you wouldn’t understand that there are many strict laws or rules you must keep in order to be a successful farmer. If you have a vineyard, you MUST have strong trestles for the vines to grow up and cling to, to climb up out of the dust and dirt, or you won’t have any grapes. Grapes will not crawl on the ground. The trestles must be strong and rigid so that the grapes won’t fall onto the ground. This is the law of growing grapes. This law has not changed for thousands of years, and it will never change. You will follow this law, or you will have no grapes! GOD uses this true analogy in the BIBLE to show us that the moral law must be kept or nobody will ever be able to enter Heaven. The trellis is the strong moral law, the WORD, which holds us up. GOD is the husbandman, the farmer; we are the branches which bear grapes. We will keep the moral law, or we are sinners. To sin is of the devil.2 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the SON of GOD was manifested, that HE might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of GOD doth not commit sin; for HIS seed [CHRIST] remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of GOD” (1 John 3:8-9). We need GOD’S moral law by THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US as our rigid trellis to hold us up. JESUS said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:17-18). Some things never change! GOD never changes (Malachi 3:6).3 GOD is the same yesterday, today, and forever! “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:5). No sin shall ever enter HEAVEN. 4 This law will never change. “Be ye holy; for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16, Leviticus 11:45).5 Don’t ever try to change GOD’S trellises; they never change. It is true that all of us have sinned, but JESUS came into the world to wash away the sins of the world that we may be clean from sin so we may enter HEAVEN.6 Repent of your sins now by saying this prayer:

Prayer

My LORD and my GOD, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. 1 I believe that JESUS CHRIST is the SON of the living GOD. 2 I believe that HE died on the cross and shed HIS precious blood for the forgiveness of all my former sins. 3 I believe that GOD raised JESUS from the dead by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT 4 and that HE sits on the right hand of GOD at this moment, hearing my confession of sin and this prayer. 5 I open up the door of my heart, and I invite YOU into my heart, LORD JESUS. 6 Wash all of my filthy sins away in the precious blood that YOU shed in my place on the cross at Calvary. 7 YOU will not turn me away, LORD JESUS; YOU will forgive my sins and save my soul. I know because YOUR WORD, the Bible, says so. 8 YOUR WORD says that YOU will turn no one away, and that includes me. 9 Therefore, I know that YOU have heard me, and I know that YOU have answered me, and I know that I am saved. 10 And I thank YOU, LORD JESUS, for saving my soul, and I will show my thankfulness by doing as YOU command and sin no more.11

You've just completed the first step in a series of five steps which are necessary to receive salvation. Your second step is to deny yourself and take up your cross daily and follow JESUS for the purpose of mortifying your flesh, that is, for putting to death your own will, your soulful self, and the world with all of its lusts. All these must be baptized into the death of CHRIST.

Step three is your resurrection from the satanic life of Adam unto the sinless life of CHRIST. Step four is your ascension into a position of authority to reign for God with Christ on earth, and the fifth step is to reign for GOD in CHRIST on earth to the end for the purpose of bringing about the kingdom of Heaven on earth. You must learn the WORD of GOD, submit yourselves one to another, and do what the WORD says so that the church and the world may see evidence of your submission to GOD’S WORD, HIS order, and HIS authority in and by you.

Praise the LORD. May GOD bless and reward you abundantly.

Yours in the wonderful name of JESUS,
