GOD'S POWER TO YOU FOR KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS

by Tony Alamo

“And there came a leper to Him [Jesus], beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him [the leper whom no one would ever approach], and [Jesus who really is the Almighty God (Revelation 1:8)] saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as He had spoken [the Word, which is God (John 1:1)], immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. And He [the Lord] straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the [unbelieving] priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them [the unbelievers]. But he went out, and began to publish it much [to the unbelievers of that day, as it is today], and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to Him from every quarter” (Mark 1:40-45).

Many are teaching and preaching, but where is the power of God in today’s teachers and preachers? Only a person whose mind is always stayed upon the Lord will be used by God in this way! “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31).

In the tenth chapter of Matthew, Christ tells His disciples to preach to every nation, heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out devils. “And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:7-8). “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power [authority] is given unto Me in heaven and earth [which means that Jesus has the power to give power to His faithful witnesses, and to take it away from the unfaithful]. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:18-20).

“And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them [this means if they accidentally drink poison. If they do it on purpose, they are tempting the Lord. Jesus said in Matthew 4:7, ‘Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.’1]; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:15-18).

Are you doing this? If not, you are doing nothing; you are not doing what Christ has asked us all to do. Your eyes are on the world. Put on the mind of Christ, the Word of God. “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof” (Romans 13:14). “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ” (2 Corinthians 2:16). Repent or perish. Say this prayer if you want to be saved and spend an eternity in Heaven:

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 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,
Pastor Tony Alamo
