The Alamo Christian Nation Volume 21100

I know that the WORD of GOD is true, because JESUS appeared to me in a vision while I was wide awake with my eyes wide open. HE told me, forcefully, to read the WORD of GOD, the KJV Bible. Now, why would JESUS tell me to read the Bible if it were not true? Some say it was the devil who appeared in the vision before me, but why would the devil tell me to read the Bible? That would not serve his purpose.

If you think that any of GOD’S WORD is trivia, you have surely not read the Bible, or you have heard from one false religion or anoth-er that someone has changed the WORD of GOD and it doesn’t re-ally mean what it says. Anyone say-ing anything like that is a liar.1 How would anyone be able to be born again of the SPIRIT, saved, or know what to do or what not to do in our world if we didn’t have the WORD of GOD?

The WORD of GOD says that “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD” (Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew 4:4). Scripture tells us we can-not live without the WORD of GOD.2 JESUS said, “The WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are life [our eternal life]” (John 6:63).

Sin has been undermining the WORD of GOD since the Garden of Eden when Satan told Eve, in so many words, that the WORD of GOD is meaningless; “GOD says you will die? No, you will not die!”3 But we do die, don’t we?

We know from the WORD of GOD that JESUS is GOD made flesh, and again, HE is the WORD of GOD, which is GOD.4 Why would GOD tell me to read HIS WORD if it weren’t true?

Everything that GOD said would be happening in the last days is hap-pening.5 Anybody would be a fool to not believe GOD’S WORD. The WORD of GOD says in Psalm 14:1-3, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no GOD. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from Heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek GOD. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”

So GOD is the WORD, and if you don’t believe the WORD, which is GOD—the GOD that never changes, the GOD that is the same yesterday, today, and forever6—then you are saying there is no GOD, and you are a fool!

(Continued from page 1)

Cuba

Moses began serving the LORD when he was eighty years old, and he continued serving HIM perfectly until he was one hundred and twenty years old—forty years of perfect ser-vice to the LORD.7 When the children of Israel went through the Red Sea on dry land after GOD had opened it for them, they all became thirsty, and there was no water in the wilderness. So GOD told Moses to smite a rock of flint once (Exodus 17:5-6).8

Now, Moses smiting the rock once was symbolic of CHRIST, the ROCK of AGES, being smitten once in the future for the sins of the world.9 CHRIST was only to die once for the sins of the world, be buried, go to Hell, and on the third day be raised out of Hell from among the dead. Forty days later HE would ascend into Heaven in a cloud before the eyes of over five hundred witnesses.10

But Moses, angered with the peo-ple of Israel, got beside himself, and at the last part of his ministry, smote the rock twice for water. Scripture reads in Numbers 20:10-12, “And Moses and Aaron gathered the con-gregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

“And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed ME not, to sanctify ME in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.”

Even Moses, after serving GOD for-ty years, couldn’t change the WORD of GOD without having to die and not being able to enter the Promised Land. He was unable to continue leading the children of Israel into the land of milk and honey.11

Not only did Moses forget the very important symbolic law of CHRIST dying once for the sins of the world, but he took credit from GOD by say-ing, “Must we fetch you water out of this rock?” instead of saying that GOD (JESUS) brought forth the wa-ter, as HE always did on their forty-years journey in the wilderness.12

Proof that JESUS is the ROCK is in 1 Corinthians 10:1-6, which reads, “Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and

all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same SPIRITUAL meat; And did all drink the same SPIRITUAL drink: for they drank of that SPIRITUAL ROCK that followed them: and that ROCK was CHRIST. But with many of them GOD was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.”

So Moses could not change the WORD of GOD, Satan cannot change the WORD of GOD, the de-monic prophets of the world today cannot change the WORD of GOD, and you cannot change the WORD of GOD, no matter who you are, or who you think you are.

Moses tried to talk GOD into letting him cross the river Jordan into the Promised Land, but GOD wouldn’t allow him. GOD means what HE says.13 Deuteronomy 3:25-26 reads, “I pray THEE, let me go

(Translated from Spanish)God bless you. It is a pleasure to receive the Alamo literature. Being able

to read so many newsletters filled with the wisdom that descends from above has blessed my life greatly. I have been and will continue praying for the world pastor, Tony Alamo, hoping that the pleasurable and perfect will of God is fulfilled in his life, always remembering what Jesus said in Matthew 5 when He delivered the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely. For so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”

We are blessed because, as Moses, we have preferred not to live enjoying the temporary pleasures of sin, but rather have chosen to be reviled, know-ing that our reward in the heavens is great, because we also know that God exists and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. We therefore do not long for an earthly homeland, for we see something more precious, things that eye has not seen nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man.

Thank you for everything that I have received. I am sending this email from the University of Havana for I do not have email service at home.

Always remember that He said, “I will not leave you nor forsake you.”Greetings from Cuba,Mario Calit Gonzalez Havana, Cuba

over, and see the good land that is be-yond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto ME of this matter.”

Even JESUS, the only begotten SON of the ALMIGHTY GOD, tried three times in prayer to see if GOD the FATHER could come up with an-other way to save all the souls of hu-manity rather than having CHRIST suffer the shame of the cross, be-cause it is written that HE despised the shame of the cross. Hebrews 12:2 states: “Looking unto JESUS the au-thor and finisher of our faith; who for

the joy that was set before HIM en-dured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.” Even though CHRIST was the WORD made flesh, in other words GOD,14 HE still was a human being.15 HE was stripped na-ked, beaten to a pulp, HIS hair and beard were ripped out, and HE was given many stripes.16

Before all of this, HE prayed three times to the FATHER. Matthew 26:36-45 states: “Then cometh JESUS with them unto a place called Geth-semane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yon-der. And HE took with HIM Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and be-

gan to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith HE unto them, MY soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with ME. And HE went a little farther, and fell on HIS face, and prayed, saying, O MY FATHER, if it be possible, let this cup pass from ME: nevertheless not as I will, but as THOU wilt.

“And HE cometh unto the dis-ciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with ME one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into tempta-tion: the SPIRIT indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. HE went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O MY FATHER, if this cup may not pass away from ME, except I drink it, THY will be done. And HE came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And HE left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then cometh HE to HIS disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the SON of MAN is betrayed into the hands of sinners.”

Even the ALMIGHTY GOD, the SON of the LIVING GOD, had to be obedient and go through the shame of the cross.17 If HE hadn’t done this, no person from the Old or New Testament could be saved, because CHRIST died for everybody who will accept HIM.18 If HE had not done this, we would not be saved, and we would be on our way to Hell and the Lake of Fire.19

Hebrews 2:1-3 states: “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was sted-

Dear Alamo Ministries,Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I thank God for His mercy and grace upon us till this present time. Formerly I was a Muslim, and I did lead so many to the mosque in the northern region of Nigeria. It was one of my Christian friends that told me of your Alamo Christian Ministries, but the law in the Islamic reli-gion didn’t permit Christian beliefs.

It was one evening that one of your distributors gave me your lit-erature entitled The Messiah, and after I read this book, I was highly touched, so it is my joy to tell you that I have now accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior, because you taught me that Jesus is the only way to the kingdom of Heaven.

I now started preaching to my congregation about Jesus Christ, and all people were highly touched to hear me preaching about Jesus Christ. They all accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. So this made us to change the Islamic name to Christ is the Answer Ministries. We are forty-nine in this ministry, but we only have four Bibles. But the poor new believers now cry out to you for help with more Bibles to study properly. Please provide more Bibles for our poor converts who can’t afford to buy Bibles for themselves.

We wish to register our name and service in your regular mail list to be one of those distributing your precious and spiritual literature and Bibles in our country. We believe that God will use your ministries to help others in this direction as you have been doing. May God reward you abundantly.

(Continued from page 3)fast, and every transgression and dis-obedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard HIM?”

The LORD said if you reject HIM, HE will reject you (2 Timothy 2:12).20 Hosea 4:6 states: “MY people are de-stroyed for lack of knowledge: be-cause thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.” Don’t reject the knowledge of salvation in this litera-ture. Accept the LORD, and HE will accept you. Accept HIM now by say-ing this prayer:

My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner.21 I be-lieve that Jesus ChrIst is the son of the living God.22 I believe that he died on the cross and shed hIs pre-cious blood for the forgiveness of all my former sins.23 I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the hoLy spIrIt,24 and

that he sits on the right hand of God at this moment hearing my confes-sion of sin and this prayer.25 I open up the door of my heart, and I invite you into my heart, Lord Jesus.26 Wash all of my filthy sins away in the precious blood that you shed in my place on the cross at Calvary.27 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.28 your Word says that you will turn no one away, and that includes me.29 Therefore, I know that you have heard me, and I know that you have answered me, and I know that I am saved.30 And I thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul, and I will show my thankful-ness by doing as you command and sin no more.31

After salvation, JESUS said to be baptized, fully submerged in water, in the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT.32 Diligently study the KJV Bible, and do what it says.33

If you want the world saved, as JE-SUS commands, then don’t rob GOD of HIS tithes and offerings. GOD said, “Will a man rob GOD? Yet ye have robbed ME. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed THEE? In tithes and offer-ings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed ME, even this whole na-tion [and this whole world]. Bring ye all the tithes [a ‘tithe’ is 10% of your gross income] into the storehouse, that there may be meat [Spiritual food] in MINE house [souls saved], and prove ME now herewith, saith the LORD of HOSTS, if I will not open you the win-dows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will re-buke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of HOSTS. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of HOSTS” (Malachi 3:8-12).
