Ep246, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 144, Living by the Spirit: Perseverance, Persecution, Healing, and the Promise of Eternal Life
Living by the Spirit Rather Than the World
Tony Alamo opens the program by arguing that entry into the Kingdom of Heaven requires God’s life to be living in a person through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. He prays for guidance and describes the Bible as the authority for decisions about daily conduct, including where to live, what to say, and how to distinguish truth from falsehood. He tells listeners that Christians are pilgrims in the world and should not become so attached to one place or material arrangement that they cannot follow what they believe to be God’s direction. He also presents the modern world, government, media, and religious institutions as forces that often oppose God’s Word. Throughout this opening section, he stresses obedience, spiritual discernment, and dependence on Jesus. The episode’s central spiritual claim is that believers must live by the Spirit rather than organize their lives around the expectations of the surrounding world.
Persecution, Jewish Identity, and End-Times Beliefs
Alamo connects his message about spiritual life with his interpretation of biblical prophecy, Jewish identity, and persecution. He describes the Jewish people as a uniquely “resurrected” people through Abraham and Sarah and connects that idea to his belief that Israel’s modern restoration fulfilled prophecy. He also claims that the Vatican, world government, and media fit his understanding of an Antichrist system. These assertions are presented as Alamo’s religious and political interpretations, not as independently established facts. He repeatedly tells listeners that those who live godly lives in Christ should expect persecution and that adversity is evidence of a spiritual conflict between God and Satan. He frames opposition to his ministry within that same end-times worldview. The result is a message in which personal faith, Jewish history, prophecy, and institutional conflict are treated as parts of one spiritual struggle.
Susie Alamo, Cancer, and Continuing the Ministry
A substantial portion of the program centers on Susie Alamo, her cancer, and the decision to continue ministry work while she was ill. Alamo recalls conversations in which Susie expressed exhaustion and distress over people they had helped who later criticized them. He says he urged her to continue witnessing and describes her decision not to undergo an operation at one point, while later arguing that people with cancer should have tumors surgically removed. He also claims that healing is promised through faith and obedience to God, while simultaneously recounting medical treatment and surgery as important in the experiences of other church members. The program presents these medical and spiritual statements as Alamo’s beliefs and personal interpretations. He portrays Susie’s perseverance and ministry work during illness as an example of continuing in faith despite suffering.
Claims of Miracles, Resurrection, and the Two Witnesses
Alamo recounts several extraordinary religious claims involving resurrection and divine healing. He describes an incident in which he says a man who had been crushed beneath a vehicle showed no signs of life and then rose after Alamo prayed in the name of Jesus. He also tells a story, attributed to a visitor and newspaper reports, about a decomposed body allegedly being raised from the dead in the Philippines. Alamo says he prayed for Susie to be raised after her death but insists that he never claimed personal power to resurrect anyone. He further recounts Susie telling him that she would later be raised and that they would be the two witnesses described in biblical prophecy. These accounts are presented in the transcript as Alamo’s religious testimony and interpretation rather than independently verified events.
Government, Media, Legal Cases, and the Ministry’s Self-Defense
The tract-reading portion of the episode focuses heavily on the ministry’s claims of persecution by government agencies, courts, the media, and the Cult Awareness Network. Alamo says an FBI infiltrator entered the church to bring accusations but later converted, and he repeats allegations that government insiders were involved in major events such as Waco, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the World Trade Center attack. He also disputes reporting about Susan Alamo’s death and funeral and denies that he ever said he personally would raise her from the dead. The program presents his tax prosecution as a frame-up and claims that witnesses were paid to lie, while Alamo characterizes his imprisonment as suffering for the Gospel. He compares his own legal troubles with the persecution of biblical prophets, apostles, Jesus, Jews in Europe, and people at Waco. These are Alamo’s stated interpretations and allegations as preserved from the transcript.
Salvation, Perseverance, and the Closing Invitation
The final section returns to the program’s primary religious message: perseverance in faith and obedience to God’s commandments until the end of life. Alamo says believers should not quit in the face of persecution, suffering, imprisonment, or death because their ultimate victory is eternal life in Heaven. The reader describes the faithful as participants in a spiritual war between God and Satan and says those who remain faithful will enter paradise. Alamo then urges listeners to study the Bible to learn right from wrong and to receive what he describes as the power of God to walk the “straight and narrow” path. He leads listeners through a salvation prayer centered on belief in Jesus Christ, His death, resurrection, forgiveness of sins, and an invitation for Christ to enter the heart. The program closes with instructions for obtaining program number 246 and a final appeal for Christians to remain steadfast.
