Ep248, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 146, False Witnesses, Spiritual Warfare, and the Battle Over Truth

A Continuing Message About Truth, Salvation, and Opposition

Tony Alamo presents program 248 as another installment in his broader teaching about receiving what he calls God’s life through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. He opens by stressing that copies of the program, Bibles, and ministry literature are offered without charge because salvation itself is free. He says the episode will continue material concerning Louis Tackwood, a jailhouse informant whom Alamo says was sent into his church and later converted. From the beginning, Alamo connects this story to his larger belief that government, media, and religious institutions form an Antichrist system described symbolically in the Book of Revelation. He repeatedly tells listeners that the Bible is the only reliable way to understand the world and distinguish truth from deception. These theological and political claims are presented as Alamo’s beliefs and interpretations rather than independently verified conclusions.

Israel, Exodus, and Alamo’s End-Times Interpretation

Before the Tackwood material, Alamo introduces a recording called “Exodus” and uses it to discuss Israel, the Hebrew people, and the Middle East. He argues from his interpretation of Scripture that the land belongs to Israel through promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He recalls a conversation with a United Nations worker aboard a ship traveling through the Mediterranean and says he told the man that lasting Middle East peace would not occur while the land dispute remained unresolved according to Alamo’s biblical view. He links the Exodus story, the Passover blood on the doorposts, and the future sacrifice of Jesus Christ, treating the blood imagery as a prophetic sign of the cross. He also compares ancient child sacrifice with abortion and other end-of-life controversies in modern America. This section leads directly into a prayer in which Alamo asks God to expose what he describes as a one-world religious, governmental, and media system.

Government, Waco, Media, and the Free-Speech Case

A lengthy section contains Alamo’s accusations concerning the federal government, Waco, the World Trade Center, President George W. Bush, the Vatican, and national media. He claims that federal agencies and officials were involved in attacks and conspiracies and says the public has been manipulated by repeated media coverage portraying him as a criminal. He recalls being arrested in Tampa and describes a separate court case in which he says he was accused of threatening a judge. According to his telling, attorney Jeff Dix argued that convicting Alamo over alleged words or thoughts would threaten freedom of speech for everyone. Alamo says the jury found in his favor and uses the case as an example of what he sees as the superiority of truth over fabricated evidence. The transcript preserves these statements as Alamo’s claims and recollections and does not independently verify them.

Louis Tackwood and Alleged Jailhouse-Informer Practices

The middle of the program returns to written material about Louis Tackwood. A reader, apparently addressed as Jeannie, reads claims that Tackwood worked with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Intelligence Division and Criminal Conspiracy Section and that informants could be paid or rewarded for generating accusations. The material alleges that Tackwood admitted setting up even a friend on a drug case and that he served little prison time despite an extensive record because of his usefulness as an informant. Alamo adds that he has received court files from prisoners he believes are innocent and says he has sometimes helped finance attorneys to review their cases. The reading then names Ira Reiner, Robert Foltz, Judge Robert Armstrong, other judges, law-enforcement agencies, and the Millers in connection with alleged efforts against the Alamo church. Because many of these are serious accusations, the corrected transcript clearly attributes them either to Alamo or to the written material being read.

IRS, Courts, and One-World-Government Claims

The Tackwood literature expands into allegations about the IRS, tax-exempt status, court procedures, attorneys, the U.S. Constitution, and international law. Alamo compares government behavior to a chameleon, a snake, mercury, termites, and other images to argue that institutions change tactics when challenged. The document claims the IRS deprived the church of fair procedures, rejected constitutional and biblical arguments, and used media and paid witnesses against the ministry. Alamo repeatedly interprets these disputes through his belief that Roman Catholicism, communism, international government, and the media are parts of a single Antichrist system. Two listener letters interrupt this material: one praises Alamo’s broadcasts from Tennessee, and another, from a writer in Nigeria, says the broadcast led him from Buddhism to Christianity and asks for a Bible. Alamo uses those letters to emphasize that the ministry’s stated objective is conversion and Gospel outreach rather than hostility toward individuals.

Church Authority, Repentance, and the Closing Invitation

In the final portion, the reader resumes a passage asserting that government agencies and media organizations have worked together against the Alamo church and that Christians should govern themselves according to biblical principles. The document cites passages from First Timothy and Romans about law and governing powers, while Alamo says corruption must ultimately be judged by God’s law. As the broadcast ends, he tells listeners that worldly institutions cannot provide their ultimate refuge and that salvation through Jesus Christ is the answer. He leads an altar-call prayer asking for mercy, forgiveness of sins, belief in Christ’s death and resurrection, and acceptance of Jesus into the heart. Sharon then gives instructions for requesting program 248 by website, mail, phone, or fax, with the CD or tape offered free of charge. Alamo closes by introducing what he identifies as the Hebrew national anthem, “Hatikvah,” saying he will sing it in Hebrew.

Happy Anyway: Grief, Joy, Boundaries, and the Journey Home to Yourself

A Tribute to Randee and a Life Oriented Toward Joy

Jennifer Elizabeth Masters dedicates the episode to her friend Randy, whom she describes as a devoted listener, spiritual teacher, minister, astrologer, and one of her strongest supporters. She remembers Randy as someone who consistently looked for love and joy even after a major stroke, impaired vision, mobility problems, dementia, and increasing dependence. Masters recalls concerts, pool parties, volleyball, “parking angels,” and Randy’s repeated belief that “things are getting better and better.” The tribute becomes a reflection on how joy can remain available even when circumstances are painful or deteriorating. Masters presents Randy’s life as an example of choosing to notice what is still good without denying what is difficult.

Grief, Caregiving, and Holding More Than One Truth

Masters speaks candidly about the emotional complexity of caring for someone whose needs are increasing. She acknowledges that she loved Randy deeply while also sometimes feeling tired, irritated, frustrated, and overwhelmed by the caregiving demands. Rather than treating those feelings as evidence of insufficient love, she argues that devotion and exhaustion can coexist. She says grief is teaching her that difficult moments do not cancel love and that love does not require rewriting the hard parts of a relationship. The episode repeatedly returns to the idea that the heart can hold grief, gratitude, frustration, tenderness, laughter, and love at the same time.

Dolly Parton, Transformation, and the Power of Boundaries

Masters connects Randy’s story with her discussion of Dolly Parton, emphasizing what she sees as a shared capacity to remain open to joy. She recounts Parton’s family background and describes the Imagination Library as an example of transforming a painful family experience into something constructive for others. Masters then tells the story of Parton declining an arrangement connected to Elvis Presley recording “I Will Always Love You” because of publishing-rights demands. She uses that story to frame boundaries as an expression of self-worth, especially when saying no means giving up something deeply desired. From there, she challenges listeners to examine where they may be overgiving, tolerating disrespect, seeking approval, or surrendering pieces of themselves in order to be chosen.

Coming Home Through Self-Trust

A central theme of the episode is that many women become highly skilled at reading other people while losing touch with their own needs, desires, and internal guidance. Masters describes this outward focus as an intelligent response that may once have helped someone anticipate anger, criticism, distance, or unpredictability. The problem, she says, comes when the pattern continues and a woman can identify everyone else’s needs but struggles to answer what she herself wants. Coming home to oneself is presented as a series of small choices: pausing before answering, noticing bodily responses, speaking honestly, honoring a no, and allowing one’s own needs to matter. Masters emphasizes that self-trust is rebuilt through repeated evidence that a person can listen to herself and respond with respect.

From Awareness to Healing

Masters distinguishes understanding a pattern from actually changing it. She describes her work as going beneath the conscious story to examine beliefs, subconscious messages, emotional material, self-doubt, relationship patterns, and fears of being wrong, blamed, abandoned, or unloved. She references shadow work, hypnosis, NLP, Kundalini yoga, breathwork, intuitive and energetic practices as parts of her broader approach, while saying the methods themselves are not the heart of the work. The deeper aim, as she describes it, is to uncover the belief underneath the words, release what is ready to be released, and create a more authentic relationship with oneself. She pairs new internal language such as “I am whole” and “I am deeply loved” with concrete actions that provide evidence of self-trust rather than using affirmations to cover unresolved wounds.

Happiness as a Capacity and an Invitation to Choose Yourself

In the closing portion, Masters defines “happy anyway” not as constant cheerfulness or denial, but as the capacity to remain open to beauty while something painful is also true. She says people can grieve and laugh, miss someone and remember difficult moments, feel anger and return to peace, and love others without abandoning themselves. Returning to Randy’s example, she remembers her continued willingness to attend concerts, play volleyball, laugh with friends, and encourage others despite her declining abilities. Masters then invites listeners who recognize these patterns in themselves to consider deeper transformational work with her and to make one small self-honoring choice immediately. She closes by urging listeners to stop living as though they must become worthy, to remember the person beneath old expectations and fear, and to trust that their past is part of their story without allowing it to define what comes next.

The Journey to Right Now: Health, Family, Fear, and Living Fully Present

A First Show Built Around a Personal Journey — Beverly opens her first broadcast by introducing the program as a space for exploring life, health, and the experience of being on this planet. She frames the hour around her own journey and invites listeners to travel with her as she reflects on the experiences that shaped her. Rather than beginning with outside experts or abstract ideas, she starts with autobiography. Her story becomes the foundation for the themes she says the program will continue exploring. The overall tone is reflective, grateful, and conversational.

Childhood, Family, and the Beginning of Change — Beverly describes growing up in Philadelphia after her parents migrated from Virginia, recalling a childhood filled with family, neighborhood life, chores, games, and home-cooked meals. She remembers her mother as a homemaker and excellent cook and her father as a highly capable construction worker despite having limited formal schooling. After graduating from high school, beginning clerical work as a teenager, and marrying at 20, Beverly says her lifestyle shifted toward more fast food and less home cooking. A Muslim neighbor repeatedly encouraged her to reconsider her eating habits, but Beverly says the message initially did not register. Her turning point came when she borrowed a Dick Gregory book and decided to try a major dietary change.

Thirty Days That Redirected Her Life — Beverly says she followed a 30-day vegan regimen that required no cooking, despite knowing virtually nothing about veganism or vegetarianism when she began. She reports losing about 25 pounds during that period and, more importantly to her, noticing a change in how she thought and felt. Family members were concerned about her weight loss, while Beverly says she felt amazing and decided to continue on the path. That experience became the beginning of a much longer commitment to a raw-food vegan lifestyle. She later raised her two children with many of the same eating practices, while emphasizing that her husband’s support made that possible even though he continued eating a more conventional American diet.

Family, Food, and the Restaurant Journey — Beverly connects the name of the radio program to the restaurant she started with her daughter in 2008. She says the restaurant was her daughter’s idea and describes being hesitant because of the work involved, but her daughter persuaded her that they could do it together. Beverly presents the restaurant as a practical expression of her belief that people can choose different ways of living and eating. She stresses that everyone has an individual path and that not everyone will choose veganism. She also hopes to interview her adult children in future episodes to learn, alongside the audience, how being raised with an unconventional diet affected their childhood, school experiences, and later lives.

Presence, Fear, and the Highway Lesson — A major philosophical theme of the episode is Beverly’s emphasis on being present. She says meditation helped her recognize that the past is gone, the future is not promised, and the only moment actually available is the present one. To illustrate the point, she describes anxiety about changing lanes near a highway exit and her habit of crossing a solid line early because she feared she would otherwise miss the exit. After deciding to trust the road design and wait until the lane marking allowed her to merge, she says she repeatedly reached the exit without a problem. For Beverly, the experience became an example of fear as “false evidence appearing real” and of how imagined future problems can pull a person away from the present.

Synchronicity, Judgment, and a Bittersweet Life — Beverly closes by broadening the discussion from fear to her belief that life is synchronized and that events are not simply accidental. She says this perspective has changed how she thinks about mistakes, encounters, regret, and the way people treat one another. Being present, in her view, creates more opportunity to pause before speaking or acting in ways one might later regret. She also explains that she has become less quick to blame or judge people because individuals act according to what they are capable or incapable of doing at a given stage of life, and those capacities can change. Her final reflection is that life is bittersweet, containing both difficult and beautiful experiences, and she invites listeners to continue exploring those experiences with her in future programs.
