Do You Want To Know Why?

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?

by Tony Alamo

Did you ever hear any good reason as to why martyrs for Christ were martyred and are still being imprisoned and put to death? Satan, the devil who slandered them, of course, never let them tell their sides of their stories. It was that way then, and is that way today!

The devil slanders strong Christians continuously so that the masses of people will feel most comfortable when the Christian martyr has been imprisoned or put to death.1

Jesus, the prophets, the apostles, and millions of saints were not allowed to defend themselves. And the media, which is the mouth of the beast, the one-world government, keeps slandering until the lies they are telling, and their false witnesses, eventually become embedded into the minds of a lot of people.

The voices of the martyrs in eternity are finally heard when they cry out to Jesus for vengeance. “And when He [Jesus] had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our BLOOD on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled” (Rev. 6:9-11).

Notice these martyrs are not only crying out for vengeance against those who pulled the trigger, those who killed them, but against everyone who dwells on earth, because they (all of them) stood by and believed the slander given by the devil.

The word slander means devil. The devil is the slanderer, so all those who believe lies and love lies will spend eternity in Hell, then the Lake of Fire with the devil (the slanderer!!) (Rev. 21:8, 22:15).

This fate belongs to the false accusers, those who betray the brethren, to the murderers, all those influenced by Satan, ALL of them that dwell on earth!! Revelation 12:9 states, “AND THE GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, THAT OLD SERPENT, CALLED THE DEVIL, AND SATAN, WHICH DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD: HE WAS CAST OUT INTO THE EARTH, AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM.”

“AND DECEIVETH THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH BY THE MEANS OF THOSE MIRACLES WHICH HE HAD POWER TO DO IN THE SIGHT OF THE BEAST [the one-world government]; SAYING TO THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH, THAT THEY SHOULD MAKE AN IMAGE TO THE BEAST, WHICH HAD THE WOUND BY A SWORD, AND DID LIVE (the revived Roman empire)” (Rev. 13:14).

Rome’s beast government keeps telling the people who attend my church, “If you'll leave Tony's church, we will give you back your kids that we kidnapped.” What they really are saying is, “We know your kids are not really in danger and you're not dangerous–but we hate Tony Alamo because we are the body of the anti-Christ devil, wherein Satan's spirit is living,2 and we hate the gospel of Jesus Christ because it exposes our sinful purposes by our telling everyone that Satan is not God, but that God is God,3 the same God that when He speaks, even the elements and nature obey His voice.”4

When the real God speaks, nature obeys. He said, “LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT” (Gen. 1:3). And everything else was created in the same way. Nature and the elements obeyed His voice. His disciples were amazed that even the wind and the waves obeyed Him.5

In the book of Revelation, Chapters 12-13, when the devil, Satan, was cast down to earth from Heaven, who does Satan go after? He doesn't go after the people who will spend eternity suffering in Hell and the Lake of Fire with him. He goes after all those who will spend eternity in Heaven with God Almighty, who is also Jesus the Christ,6 the prophets, the apostles, the saints, and all those who obey His voice.7

The Apostles in the book of Acts 5:29 said, “We ought to OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN.” But the people of earth do not obey Christ's words in these last days.8 God's Word says that the Dragon, the ancient snake, is the devil's government, which gets its power from those who are of the devil by voting them into office.

“And he was given a mouth which was strong like the voice of a lion. And the dragon gave him his mouth [the left-wing liberal media] his power, and his seat [Rome], and great [governmental] authority” (Rev. 13:2). “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death [this is when ancient Rome fell]; and his deadly wound was healed [revived Rome today is a satanic world power]: and all the world [deceived] wondered after [the revived Roman one-world satanic government which God calls] the beast” (Rev. 13:3). “And they [all the deceived people of the entire earth actually] worshipped the dragon [Satan–devil] which gave [satanic] power unto [the Roman government] the beast: and they worshipped [served the Roman government] the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him [Satan] a [satanic, slanderous] mouth speaking great things and blasphemies...And he [the media] opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle [we saints are His tabernacle or temple of God—the Saints wherein He lives 9], and them that [live] in Heaven” (Rev. 13:4-6). Ephesians 2:6 says that we saints are with Him in Heaven at this very moment by the Spirit, “And [God] hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

Why does Satan hate Christians so much? It is because we keep encouraging the brothers and sisters in the Word of God, to keep the Word of God. It must continuously be preached and taught because the “reproofs of instruction [the Word of God] are the way of Life” (Prov. 6:23).10 When Christians keep reading and hearing the Word of God, they gain more faith and they stay strong and will not fall away from the Lord.11 But why does Satan, the world system, use so much SLANDER? He does it to make people hate anyone who is of the Lord. SLANDER is the worst poison Satan, the devil, has. The Webster dictionary agrees with God's Word on the meaning of the word “SLANDER”: (1) A false tale or report maliciously uttered, and tending to injure the reputation of another by lessening him in the esteem of his fellow citizens, by exposing him to impeachment and punishment or by impairing his means of living; defamation.

Slander, the worst of poisons, ever finds an easy entrance to ignoble minds. (2) Disgrace; reproach; disreputation; ill name. It's easy for Satan, the devil, to destroy the reputation of a Christian or anyone else when he controls the blasphemous government-controlled left-winged liberal media, then hides behind the infamous walls of the Vatican’s Roman Canon Law. Satan, the devil, slandered Jesus where everyone cried, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!!”12 Only a little over fifty years ago, millions of Jews were murdered, based on slanderous Satanic poison. My Lord and Savior, how I hate Satan!! Satan knows his time is short–he is after Christians and those of you who might have believed us if it hadn’t been for the slander!!13 Watch out and stay strong in the Spirit of the Lord.14 Those of you who don’t know Christ Jesus or don’t have eternal life, say this prayer to be born again of the Spirit:

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 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 the cross daily for the purpose of mortifying yourself, 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 on earth, and the fifth step is to reign for God on earth to the end for the purpose of bringing about the kingdom of Heaven on earth. You must learn the Word of God, then submit yourself 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 reward you abundantly.
