-- FATHER DIVINE --

'One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal New Year.'

Our FATHER'S Sermon Given whilst at the Holy Communion Table Circle Mission Church
2064 Boston Road, Bronx, New York
Sunday, December 31, 1950, A.D.F.D.
Time 11:26 P.M.

The transcriber introduces the Sermon:

This truly glorious Sermon, delivered by the Lord of lords and King of kings, is dynamic in its expression of living truths unto the children of men. Just before the Sermon, one of the recent recordings from Australia was played and enjoyed by the vast audience of visitors and followers as well. FATHER refers to this and other recordings received from His various followers and Churches in far off countries, and in His marvelous Sermon explains the mystery of this One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal New Year. At the conclusion of the Sermon FATHER brings forth a very vital point for consideration concerning the religious conviction of His real true followers with regard to insurances of any kind and this Conviction will go down on record even as it has in years past, and will be lived and carried out, regardless of the consequences. The Mouth of GOD has declared it! Almighty Redeemer, we truly thank Thee!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)

PEACE EVERYONE! This is one of the days set apart as being termed the Christmas Holidays, which, at this time, this is commonly known as New Year's Eve for the Christian world. But as with the New Year so with the Christ Mass or Christmas Day with us. We recognize the One Eternal Christmas Day, in other words, Christ Mass Day and One Eternal New Year's Day. We recognize the Ever and All-Presence of All-Wise, All-Mighty and All-Circumferencing GOD of the Universe.

You have heard the testimonies of the different individuals from Australia, and there they are as we are here, representing every nation, every language, every tongue and every people by this great Conversion and by the Recognition and the Realization of GOD'S Actual Presence! No longer observing your Creator merely as a supposition but observing and realizing GOD'S Presence as Something that is the Creator, the Author and the Finisher of all of His Creation; though at one time invisible, intangible and being unconsidered as being visible; yet GOD made visible, things that were invisible, and brought into tangibility and into outer expression, the intangible and invisible things of His Creation.


Light of Understanding Coming Forth

Today we are realizing, as it is written according to the historians, the earth was created as well as the heaven, but the earth was void and without form, even as the heaven as being described as such; but GOD did say,

'Let dry land appear!'

according to the historians, and dry land came forth into expression tangibilated, materialized, as though personified; for GOD said,

'Let us make men in our own Image!'

According to the historians GOD formed man out of the dust of that dry land that HE said in His Own Omniscience, let it appear! We are happy today to say, things that once did not appear are coming into appearance. Things that were not once considered are now being considered; for by the Unity of the Spirit, as with GOD in the Creation, there was an agreement made between the Great Universal Mind Substance and Something, when GOD said,

'Let us make man in our own Image'.

There was an agreement made; and also as it was when GOD said to Something, according to the historians,

'Let there be light',

and light came forth into expression as a pre-evidence and as a visibilated prediction of how the Light of Understanding would come forth into expression when there is no light or no understanding. Aren't you glad? ('Yes, so glad, LORD!' came the immediate response.)

Coming all through the ages up until this present time there are thousands and thousands, yea, millions of individuals we, or I MYSELF as One of the unit, if I enumerate them one of the one hundred and fifty millions Americans; just enumerating the one hundred and fifty millions of Americans, plus all of the other nations, languages, tongues and peoples in all countries! Aren't you glad? ('So glad!' again came the immediate reply.) Just being One among the number, transcended and transcending all racism, all sectarianism, all partisanism and all isms that spell division bringing to you, My fellow citizens, hearers and friends, the Recognition of E Pluribus Unum. Aren't you glad?



All Mankind Unified

To recognize and realize E Pluribus Unum politically and legalistically, we will also recognize E Pluribus Unum religiously, nationally and racially, and we will bring an abolition to all divisibility among the nation. And by so doing we will understand each other better universally! And as you understand each other better universally, you will become to be a part of Judaism as well as a part of Christianity. You will be a part of every nation and of every religion and the summation will be E Pluribus Unum, where there will be no more divisibility of the children of men but all will live in Unison together and will partake of the great One Eternal Christmas, Circumferencing and enveloping the Jewish Christmas; circumferencing and enveloping the Hindu's Christmas and the Christian Christmas and New Year and all of them combined; making for that which we have here today where all mankind are unified! Aren't you glad?

Then I say, it is a privilege to observe it! You can see in our Churches in Australia, in Switzerland, in New Zealand, in Panama, in England and in Canada and in all other countries coming into the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose where we can celebrate One Eternal Christmas, and going on to the New Year, as afore said; we also celebrate the One Eternal New Year this being the eve of New Year, as it may be termed. But with this Light of this Understanding we realize there is One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal New Year's Day!

One Eternal Merry Christmas

For this cause, by composition as a message and as a declaration, (FATHER holds high The New Day, showing the song on the front cover, as HE says:) I brought out this little Message; even having it or putting it in a melody and in notes so that you might read it, sing it and play it, and convince yourselves and convert your hearts and your minds and all of your human intelligence and intellect to the realization that there is One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal New Year's Day.

When this is done you will endeavor to worship and serve GOD from your own viewpoint not as a creed or any other dogma, but as individuals recognizing the Supreme Being the Creator, the Author and the Finisher of all things! And when this is done you can say in reality, by the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose we can live in unison together and there will be no more divisibility of nations and races and of families among us, but we will recognize the Universal Brotherhood of Man and realize the Ever Presence of the FATHERHOOD of GOD!


International Peace

When this Truth is established among the nations of the earth as I have it now established among you all, My adherents, My followers and My friends, there will be no more warfare and no more bloodshed, but you will have International Peace, as one of our picture cards portrays. (FATHER holds up the card bearing HIS and MOTHER'S picture, and the red, white and blue books bearing the dramatized pictures, the titles of which FATHER reads:) 'In the Air, on the Land and on the Sea.' where the people will no longer be divided among themselves. They will no longer live, considering themselves as some sort of a cursed race, creed or color, for I have declared Scripturally as well as I have declared it socially and Personally organizationally,

'Together you stand but divided you fall.'

If the people will unite together and live in this great universal Brotherhood of Man and recognize the Ever Presence of the FATHERHOOD of GOD, there will be no more limitations, there will be no more lacks, there will be no more adverse and undesirable conditions, for the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD will dispel and eradicate all adverse and undesirable conditions! Then I say, live in this Recognition!


Consciousness of GOD'S Presence

You have heard the voices of those of My representatives of My different Churches in Australia. A good many of you have heard the recordings from Switzerland, from England, from Germany and from other parts of the world making this selfsame declaration of the Consciousness of MOTHER'S and MY Presence here, and there as well as here. And such a Conviction automatically adjusts matters satisfactorily, and such a Conviction automatically produces the abundance of the fulness of the Consciousness of Good, and they find no space vacant of the fulness thereof! In the European countries, in the war zones, where lacks and wants and limitation, misery, disappointment and failure have gone rampant in the land, My Spirit and My Presence when they are conscious of It produce the abundance of the fulness of food and of raiment, of houses and of shelter, of comfort and convenience and of every desirable blessing, because they are conscious of My Presence.

Many people have read and you all have heard that as in the beginning of the creation, according to the historians, the Spirit of GOD moved out upon the face of the waters and began its creation of all creation can you not see the mystery? The very Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD moving out there automatically was creative and It is just as operative today as It was then. Can you not see the mystery? GOD being a creator by nature, even through the cosmic forces of nature and the creative forces of nature, the earth will create in itself, by nature, insects of its own kind. Can you not see the mystery? GOD'S Presence in your consciousness, and the recognition of It, will automatically create the good, the desirable and the blessed, and cause you and all things with whom and with which you are concerned to be blessed by such a recognition.


New Year Resolution

I know there are many vows being made. Many vows are being made in the Christian world to live better, to be better and be truer; to be more honest, to be more competent, to be more reliable in every way next year than what they have been this year that is now passing out. Aren't you glad? But what profits it to make such vows and promise to do such things unless you recognize the supernaturalness of GOD'S actual presence the omnipotence and omniscience of HIM Who liveth forever to be with you to guide you and protect you and to lead you and to give you the power and the privilege to do better than you ever did before? It would profit you nothing just to use a formula to say as the old year passes out and the new year comes in, 'I am going to do better, be better, I shall be more honest, I shall be more true to both GOD and to man than what I have been !' Unless you make up your minds to do it and then do it, and realize GOD is with you right here, to help you to do it, you will not be able to do it. You will be going on doing as they have been doing from ages up until now yea, until I came and made My Declaration known because I declare I AM GOD!

It is written of ME,

'In My Name ye shall cast out (you know) other fellows'.'

That is what I AM doing daily! I AM casting out the 'other fellow' of lacks and wants and limitations, of depressions, panics and famine! I AM casting out adverse and undesirable conditions of sickness and diseases and all sorts of undesirable conditions because the Name of GOD is a strong tower and the Righteous run therein and they are saved.

Let us live in this recognition and be conscious of GOD'S Presence. If you can only be conscious of GOD'S Presence metaphysically if you cannot be conscious of GOD'S Presence Personally or Personifiedly, be conscious of GOD'S Presence metaphysically; and suppositional and metaphysically you may get a blessing. But if you can be conscious of GOD'S Presence in Person, you will personally get blessings! Aren't you glad?

That is why, where I AM, the abundance of the fulness of the consciousness of Good no space is vacant of the fulness thereof because the adherents and those who are visitors even, the majority of them are Conscious of GOD'S Personal Presence.


GOD Materialized, Man Spiritualized

GOD Materialized HIMSELF and spiritualizes you so that you might live in the recognition of GOD'S actual Presence and such a recognition is just as operative and expressive as it was in the beginning of the creation when the Spirit of the LORD moved out as Something that was invisible, upon the waters but it was a consciousness, and that Consciousness created the earth. Aren't you glad? Created the Heaven and created the earth! And GOD said,

' Let dry land appear.'
Now live in this recognition and you will have victory over all adverse and undesirable conditions, and you will have not only spiritual blessings but you will have Peace on earth and Good Will toward men, and have success and prosperity economically! You will master the economic situation, and all of your social and intellectual and political and racial problems will be solved, for GOD, your Creator, is the Great Solver!

I have long since declared by composition as a motto for the consideration of the people, and of those of My adherents especially,

'The Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD
is the Source of all Supply, and it will satisfy every Good Desire.'

If I can make you conscious of GOD'S Presence it may be called superstition, it may be called expressions of fanaticism, even radically but if I can convince you GOD is Present among you, the very Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD will be to you the same Spirit that moved out upon the face of the waters in the beginning of the creation and said,

'Let there be light and there was light!'

I said, let here be the abundance of the fulness! Let right here be the consciousness of good wheresoever you are and I will declare to you, no space will be vacant of the fulness thereof! (Loud applause resounds.)


Standard of Independence

Why go around in lacks and wants and limitations? True followers of Mine do not go around soliciting, begging, stealing and borrowing! Aren't you glad? True followers of Mine will express their individual independence, even as our Country declared her Independence as a Nation, for you could not be a real American citizen, according to My Teaching, unless you would express your individual independence and refuse to be dependents, and live in the Consciousness of GOD'S actual Presence; then and only then could you be real, true American citizens.

I AM raising up a standard and a citizenry second to none, where a true follower, if he is physically fit, has health and strength, will not go around soliciting, begging and not a true follower of Mine will be on the relief roll, taking assistance. That is what I AM talking about!

Then you can look over here in this week's issue of The New Day this present current issue of The New Day, and also last week's issue of The New Day, under 'Righteousness Marches On!' In this present current issue of The New Day of December 30, 1950 under 'Righteousness Marches On!' you can see why My followers do not accept of tips and gifts and presents. That is their religious conviction and it is according to our Church Discipline! Can you not see the mystery? That is why they do not insure automobiles and houses and do not insure themselves and their children's lives as an insurance against sickness, death and accident because they know it is not trusting GOD infinitely, conscientiously and sincerely. For this cause we abstain from taking out insurance!


No Social Security or Other Insurances

My true followers own millions and millions of dollars' worth of property, and they do not have any real or personal property insured although they pay high taxes on their personal and real properties where it is called for but they do not insure it because it is against our religious conviction. Therefore, we will not take out insurances, even so much as Social Security insurance. It is against our Religion!

My true followers do not insure themselves, their lives nor their children's lives. They do not insure for sick benefits and accidents or anything of that sort, because we intend to trust the Ever Presence of GOD with Victory over all adverse and undesirable conditions and every hazard that may be created by the 'other fellow' better known by the religions, the d-v-l! Aren't you glad?

This did not just begin! For years and years and years, and it always has been, the true followers of Mine will not insure their own personal properties; will not insure their own real properties! Can you not see the mystery? ('Yes LORD!' came the reply.) And why should they insure them now, if they have not ever done it because of their religious convictions? They would go to jail or even die, if they could, before they do it! I thank you.

(As FATHER made this dynamic statement HE pushes in His chair and started to leave the Holy Communion Hall, only to re-enter and speak as follows:)

PEACE EVERYONE! I have returned! I lost sight of MYSELF and I lost sight of you as persons at the instant!

I want to say at this instance that those of the Rosebuds who have not dined, will be pleased to be the first ones to be seated at this Table, for they must go to our next Service shortly and serve us as the Choir and Choristers. I thank you!

Take Your Burdens to the Lord

Our FATHER'S Message given in
Day Star Baptist Church, New York City, N.Y., Monday, May 23, 1932

(After singing the song, "Take your burdens to the LORD and leave them there", FATHER spoke as follows:)

Take your burdens to the LORD and leave them there. Aren't you glad? Now there are many verses to that song and I did not repeat the verses because I did not want to get it out of tune and I knew that if I repeated the verses, it would have further got out of adjustment, but the great point of view is that you can take your burdens to the LORD and leave them there.

Now as far as your heart is concerned, the song says, "Come, guilty sinner, in whose breast a thousand thoughts revolve." The Word says,

'I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance.'

I was talking to some parties this morning quite early in proportion to the time I turned in last night, and I was saying to them that so often -- and I heard a party say it the other day -- it was hard for a preacher to confess his sins to GOD. Then I said to them,

'It is harder for GOD to save a god or gods than to save all the sinners in the world.'

It is hard for GOD to save even an ordinary preacher but when you come in contact with gods, why, it is harder to save gods and they are living in sin, living in materialism, living in mortality and living in debauchery of all kinds every day. They will not come to ME that they might have Life. They would rather die in their sins. But a heart and a mind like unto those that testified recently, those that think they are great sinners, those that think they are the least of the least and the worst of the worst; when you come like that, why, then you are a fit subject to make preparation for the Kingdom of GOD.

When you are self-righteous, when you are Holy -- CHRIST did not come to save anybody that was Holy anyway. Aren't you glad? And I AM sure He did not come to save gods, for GOD is saved always. HE didn't have to be saved. When a sinner -- when one feels as a wretch undone -- when one, I say, that feels as though he is a wretch undone, then he makes his mental and spiritual contact, when he is delivered from that sin, when he finds that CHRIST, the Heavenly Lamb, has taken all his sins away -- the sacrifice of a nobler Name and richer Blood than that of male cows, pigeons and goats that were offered up as a living sacrifice -- when he finds that out, then he can say, "How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ears! It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds and dries away his tears." It breaks the power of cancerous sin and sets the prisoner free. Imputedly you see His Blood, better known in the spiritual realm of spiritual understanding as Love. His Love falls over them. Now aren't you glad? Now you feel good now, don't you? Now don't you feel nice? You feel just as though you can hardly sit on the seat. It is lovely, isn't it? Isn't it sweet? Oh, it is Wonderful!

So I just wanted to say that this mighty Love, this mighty Love, it is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! I was moved to say a word or two at that particular juncture when the speakers said about their hearts were so black that they did not want to bring ME their hearts. Well, I don't want you to bring ME your righteousness! I don't want your righteousness! Your righteousness can take care of itself. If it is gold, you can throw your pure gold ring or anything, you can throw it on the dump or any place and let it stay out there for years and it will be the same. Your righteousness, if you have the Righteousness of GOD, will take care of itself and it will also take care of you if you have the Righteousness of GOD. But if you are a sinner, GOD will then need you to cleanse you from your sins and free you from all condemnation.

For this cause and for this purpose came I into the world -- Aren't you glad? -- to stop you and free you from those things that you believe and your conscience told you were wrong. To set you free from the claim of condemnation; for if you are led by the Spirit of GOD as it is brought into expression through this ministry, you are freed from condemnation and I came to bring you into your conscious realization of the Presence of GOD and of His Majesty, His Divine Inspirations or Inspiration as being called inspirations whilst it is imparted to many. Then when you are led by this Inspiration, the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD, you will find that it will satisfy your every desire. You will find that it will free you from all condemnation and it will set the prisoner free, physically, mentally and spiritually. It will set you free in every way. It will free your conscience. It will free you in body from every kind of ailment and complaint. It will free you from all misery and from all woe. Aren't you glad?

This Word and this Truth and the Spirit of this Truth will set you free and free indeed and it will guide you into all Truth; for HE puts it through the mouth of the Apostle:

'There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in CHRIST JESUS, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit; for the Law of the Spirit of Life in CHRIST JESUS has made us free from the law of sin and death.'

Now aren't you glad? Do you not feel free? I know you feel FREE, for the Spirit of Life that is in CHRIST JESUS here has made you free and he that the Son sets free is free indeed. Sets you free, I say, free in every kind of way, every imaginable way, free from all barriers, free of lacks, free of wants, free from all limitations, free from all denominations, free from all races, free from all creeds, free from all colors and free from every abomination that spells condemnation. Then you are free indeed. Aren't you glad? You have never been free until you are freed from those conditions. As long as you think you are some abomination, some denomination, religious denomination, political denomination, social denomination, family denomination, or any kind of denomination, you are not free; for he that the Son sets free is free indeed. Free from every limitation, hence from all denomination and hence free from all the condemnation that denomination brings and you can walk and talk with GOD. Aren't you glad?

All denomination is not just religious denomination. The majority of you are intelligent people and realize that it is not just religious denomination but it is every denomination that brings division and limitation. Now that is what is the matter with this world. That is the lost chord that was lost until GOD condescended to put on a Body. CHRIST was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. They had barred Him out through creeds and denominations, divisions and all kinds of abominations; for

'where there is division there is strife";

therefore the CHRIST could not be brought to fruition in their lives. That is the only reason why you have not seen CHRIST before. Aren't you glad? He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. They could not see Him because they were not pure in heart!

The Word says,

'Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see GOD.'

I AM just purifying humanity's understanding now, which is the heart. I AM just beginning to purify your understanding, I say, which is your heart, so you can see GOD. Aren't you glad? Your understanding has been in a chaotic condition. It was a matter of impossibility to see GOD if you had a thousand eyes. If your eye be single your whole body is full of light, but if your eye be evil, your whole body is full of darkness. In that verse there in that quotation, "If your eye be evil", it could have said, if your eye be double or if your eyes be many. In short I could have said, if you have many eyes and look in many different directions, your whole body is full of darkness, but in short I said, "If your eye be evil." It is evil to see and to look in many different directions and not keep your eye on the bright and Morning Star, the Lily of the Valley, and not keep your eye single to see the oneThing and the one Thing alone, having a single eye instead of having thousands of different eyes. Your whole body now is full of darkness as the collective body of mankind. It is full of darkness.

But I have come to light up your understanding. I came to light up your Understanding and it is written in a composition of modern old times,

'The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin, but the light of the world is Jesus.'

Aren't you glad? I know you are glad because you realize that the Light has come and that is why humanity generally is rising and is shining for the Glory of GOD has risen upon them. Then I said,

'You that think your hearts are black, if you take your burdens to the LORD and leave them there, wheresoever you believe HE is, you will be free.'

Leave them there! Take your burdens to the LORD, I say, and leave them there! If you trust and do not doubt, HE will surely bring you out. Take your burdens to the LORD and leave them there. Aren't you glad? Leave them there! The song says,

'If this world from you withhold, of its silver and its gold, don't forget that GOD from Heaven answers prayer. Just remember from His Word how HE feeds the little bird. Just take your burdens to the LORD and leave them there.'

I know you feel lovely. I know you feel lovely, because this mighty Love is emanating from the Heart of GOD. Aren't you glad? I said this mighty Love; not only this mighty Love but this Almighty Love, this Omnipotent Love, this Love that transcends all limitations. It is Infinite. This Love, I say, that is emanating from the Heart of GOD. It is saturating your very body and your soul. It is making you new. It is making you over new right now. This mighty healing Love! Truly might have one said,

'There is a Fountain open in the House of David for all sin",

and it is this mighty Love. One writer said, "There is a fountain filled with blood", but transposedly I say, "There is a fountain filled with Love." This Mighty Love! It is drawn from Immanuel's Heart! It is drawn from GOD in man! GOD IMMANUEL'S HEART! Aren't you glad?

Remember that these words and poems and songs and praises, they have been praising figuratively. They were figurative when they said,

'There is a fountain filled with Blood.'

That was only a symbol of the Fountain that is filled with Love. In reality, when you read of the blood that saved you and sanctifies you, the interpretation of that blood is Life and Love; so I can say in reality, you all taste this Love, don't you? There is a Fountain filled with Love. It is drawn from Immanuel's Heart. "Sinners plunged beneath this flood, lose all your guilt and shame."

I don't care how black your sin may be if you have not sinned against the Holy Ghost. I want to say that there is a Lawyer that can plead your case and get you out of any sin you ever did if you did not sin against the Holy Ghost. Any sin you ever did! Your Counselor can plead your case and free you from all condemnation and set the prisoner free from every condemnation and from every sin that you have ever committed unless you have sinned against the Holy Ghost, and that is not in the Constitution; for there is a clause in the Constitution -- there is a clause in the Constitution of the Kingdom of GOD, I say, wherein that HE can free every person from all of their sins unless they have sinned against the Holy Ghost. Aren't you glad?

Aren't you glad there is a Counselor somewhere and somehow, here and now, willing and ready to free you from all sin and from all condemnation; for he that the Son sets free, is free indeed! Now we rejoice because we know that it is true and as I have been saying, with or without a Body, the Gospel of CHRIST, of it I AM not ashamed, for it is all Power in this Mighty Name. It brings Peace out of confusion, Health out of sickness and brings Life out of death; for they that are dead and are in the grave shall hear this Voice and they that hear shall live. It is Wonderful! Have you ever HEARD until you saw ME? "My sheep hear My Voice and a stranger they will not follow."

'Out of His Mouth goes a two-edged sword high on the mountain top." Jeremiah spoke of it, "And out of His Mouth came fire to baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.'

Now aren't you glad? I know you feel good for this mighty Love is emanating from the Heart of GOD and is saturating your body and your soul and has filled you and thrilled you, therefore we will declare in the melody as in a transposed melody, "My soul has something that is new." You never were so happy before, were you? Such a mighty healing Love because this Love consumes everything adverse. Aren't you glad?

Therefore I say,

'Fear not little flock, it is your FATHER'S good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.'

Firstly, the Kingdom of GOD is not meat and drink; firstly the Kingdom of GOD is invisible. It cometh not with observation, but secondly the Kingdom of GOD is brought into materialization in your conscious realization and it will be no more imagination. It is Wonderful! It cometh not by observation, I say, and I said that it is firstly not meat and drink but it is righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Ghost.

When you seek righteousness, when you seek peace, when you seek the Holy Ghost and shall have found it, then and there and here and now, you have made preparation for the materialization of your conscious realization. You are conscious that you have the Kingdom of GOD within. You are conscious that you have this righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Ghost but as was in the beginning with the Word, that Word was with GOD firstly invisible and you found that this Word was GOD. After you found out that it was GOD, it came a little nearer to your conscious realization. It began to materialize itself and the Word was made flesh. The Kingdom of you are visible, the Kingdom shall also be visible; by HIM that liveth forever and forever. The Kingdom of GOD is not material until it has been made material or materialized by the Materializer and HE that materializes things.

I came to materialize the things that you thought not to be. Once upon a time you were invisible but today you are visible and because you are visible, the Kingdom shall also be visible; for it is written,

'As HE is, so are we in this present world.'

We are now materializing the things that we realize and bringing into conscious realization the materialization of things that have been hid from generations. That is where we are. The Kingdom of GOD on earth here and now, for it has been declared that the Kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of our GOD and His CHRIST and HE shall reign forever and ever. Aren't you glad?

Now we are rejoicing because we know that these are facts and figures that are too stout to be denied and we do not care anything about what the mortal mind says. What can mortal man or mortal mind do? Aren't you glad? What do I care about what mortality says? What do I care about what it is trying to do? There is no power given except that which comes from the Body of GOD! Tell mortality wheresoever it is, there is NO POWER GIVEN EXCEPT THAT WHICH COMES FROM THE BODY OF GOD! It is Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful! GOD is reigning now! It is Wonderful! I SAY GOD IS REIGNING NOW! GOD IS REIGNING! The kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our GOD and HE shall reign forever and ever and EVER! The Mouth of the LORD hath spoken it! Aren't you glad?

Aren't you glad that you elected your GOD, your LORD and your KING! "HE rules the world with Truth and Grace and makes the Nations prove the Glory of His Righteousness and the wonders of His Love." I know you are happy because you have GOD on your side! Not only on your side but GOD is in you! Once upon a time HE dwelt with you but now HE is in you and you are in HIM. Wheresoever HE is, you are. Wheresoever you are, GOD is your GOD! GOD is your King! GOD is your FATHER and you never had another!

'Fear not little flock, it is your FATHER'S good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.'

Then I say, take your burdens to the LORD and leave them there. Don't carry any burdens that will cause you to go astray, but march into the City of this Eternal Day! We are marching, we are marching, we are marching, I say; here and now we are marching! Truly might you have heard the Voice crying out, "Swing wide, Golden Gates and let the victors in!" We don't have to get the victory, we have the victory. We don't have to put anything over, it is over now and we are over. We don't have to put anything over, I have put it over! I Have the victory! Aren't you glad? And you have the Victory in yourself, for faith is the Victory that overcometh, or, "This is the victory that overcometh the world, even your faith." This faith has overcome every mortal version of the human mind.

Now you can declare in the language as verifying the language of the Prophet Isaiah in chapter 32:1 and 2:

'Behold a King shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment, and a man shall be as a hiding place.'

Reign too! Reign in Righteousness! And Princes shall rule in judgment and a man is as a hiding place and a covert from the winds and doctrines of men, hiding from the winds and doctrines of men and the spiritual tempests that blow. The winds of trials and tribulations! A man is as a hiding place from such things and will set the prisoner free. Aren't you glad? That is the reason I said,

'Rejoice in the LORD always and again I say rejoice! Make your moderation known unto all men, the LORD is at hand",

here and now and remember that there is no power given any man except that same power which proceeds from the BODY of GOD. It is Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful! >

Truly might have CHRIST in the Name called Jesus said,

'Come unto Me, all ye ends of the world and be saved.'

Aren't you glad? To realize the Omnipotence, the Omniscience, and the Omnipresence of GOD with all of the fulness of His attributes, here and now, in this Divine Omnipresent Life in which you all live, move and have your being, and you in which CHRIST and GOD lives, moves and has His Being. Then we should rejoice, for it is truly vice versa. In HIM you live, move and have your being and in you HE lives, moves and has His Being. The LORD has never told you to do anything that HE wouldn't do for you.

'Behold, I stand at the door and knock and if any man opens unto ME, I will come in and sup with him and the feast will be an everlasting one.'

Then if you will stand at the door and knock, GOD will open unto you and the feast will be an everlasting one. Then I say, you can rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of great Glory and the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD will satisfy every good desire.

Now why did you push ME out like that? It is Wonderful! You must have thought I could swim! You push ME out into deep water and if I can't swim I have to swim anyway!

Just now I only rose to give a foundation to those speakers that thought their hearts were so black and give them a happy admittance into the Kingdom of GOD, and you pushed ME out into deep water and if I didn't know how to swim, I had to learn. Although I did say, launch out into the deep and let the shorelines go. Launch out into the deep, out into the Ocean Divine where the full tides flow. I told you to do that and you pushed ME out. As I say, whatsoever I tell anyone else to do, I mean to do that what I tell them to do, and if I told you to do it and you happened to push ME out into the deep anyway, why, it is good for ME!

Now I wish to say another word about what was sung about, "Lift Him up." I recall when that song was composed about twenty or thirty years ago and I transposed that song then, because along about that time they were trying to lift ME up illegally. Illegally then they were trying to lift ME up. Illegally, where now they are trying to lift ME up legally. Then they were trying to lift ME up by mob violence. Aren't you glad? Then I said I did not come to be lifted up from that version of that human mind as it was then. When Jesus said,

'Lift Him up";

JESUS CHRIST said in that body,

'I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.'

He was speaking concerning the crucifixion and death that He must suffer on the cross and that they would lift Him up on the cross and through the death and the suffering, supposedly, of the Body of Jesus, why, all men would be drawn unto Him. I transposed that song in those days and I said, "Do the Will", for I did not come to die this time. Aren't you glad? Then in the place of "Lift Him up", I replaced, "Do the Will, do the Will, while He speaks through eternity. And I, if I will do the Will of the LORD, I will draw all men unto Me."

There is a phrase in that song; I don't personally know when it was composed but I transposed it. It says,

'Don't exalt the preacher, don't exalt the purse, but preach the Gospel message full and free, and I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me.'

Now I said, "Don't exalt the preacher, don't exalt the purse, but preach the Gospel simply full and free, and I, if I do the Will of the LORD, I will draw all men unto Me." It is not your FATHER'S Will that one of His little ones should perish and you have been taught to pray to,

'Let Thy Kingdom come and Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.'

I venture to say that those, My supposed opponents, better known as enemies, are convinced that I AM doing the Will of the LORD in My Home, here, there and everywhere, and I, if I do the Will of the LORD, I will draw all men unto Me. It is Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful!

It is true, as was said,

'The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and when Shiloh comes, the gathering of the people shall be unto Him";

and I, if I will do the Will of the LORD, I will draw all men unto Me, for wheresoever the carcass is, there shall the eagles be gathered together! Wheresoever it is, they shall be gathered. Marvel not that I say unto them that they will come unto Me. Aren't you glad? Now that is not in some way different than what you should be. You are even also as I AM if you will only let it be. Every fertile egg has a chicken in it. If it is not a vegetarian egg it has a chicken in it, but this egg must go through incubating or setting and go through some kind of process and have the right even temperature and have the right process to form and develop the chick. It may get chilled after the chick begins to form. It may not be exactly a rotten egg but it may be chilled and the chick will not hatch out.

I heard churches say before I came out to the public, out into the ecclesiastical world as I stand today expressedly, when from 1914 up until last year sometime I stayed in quietness -- I heard them say that the churches have grown cold; said that were chilled; they had grown cold; then how can they hatch out any Sons of GOD? When the eggs are chilled, how can they hatch out the Sons of GOD? They cannot hatch even if they be good eggs, if they get chilled; they cannot get hatched. But I came on the scene to warm up the churches, and if they will warm up to ME, I will warm up to them. Aren't you glad? The chicks as it seems to be now, are not any more as Jerusalem was in A.D. 33 and 32 when it was declared, "Oh, Jerusalem, oh, Jerusalem, how oft would I have hovered thee as a hen hovers her brood but ye would not!" I feel and I say that the churches have been cold. They are coming unto ME that I may warm them up; that I may incubate them; that I may hover them as a hen hovers her brood; that they may

'offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness as in the days of old, and as in former years.'

Do you not see the eggs beginning to be hovered? The eggs are beginning to be hovered now under the Will of GOD in this great Incubator of Life, these wings of Love. They are beginning to be hovered and I see the eggs beginning to develop and beginning to form into the chick. Aren't you glad? Some beginning to pick their way through! Through the shells of mortal limitations! I see that mortality is being swallowed up into immortality. The egg is coming to conscious life; conscious expression of the Life of GOD as the mother chick. It will soon be in the likeness of the FATHER-MOTHER-GOD. Now aren't you glad? Truly might have one said,

'Behold, what manner of Love the FATHER hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the Sons of GOD, and it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is.'

You begin to see now! You begin to see them beginning to come out. They are proclaiming the Name of GOD, the Life of CHRIST. They are beginning to be hovered under the Spirit of Life, the wings of My Love, to be hatched out like unto the Father and Mother chick, GOD your Heavenly FATHER!

'How great and marvelous are Thy Works, oh, GOD, for Great and Holy is Thy Name!'

Aren't you glad?

I know you never tasted of such a Love. It is emanating and it is saturating. It makes you feel new. It makes you feel new! It gets all in your sinews and your joints and you say, "I yield, I yield! I cannot hold it any longer for I know HE is risen in my soul!" Now aren't you glad? You can taste a little taste of this Love can't you? This mighty healing Love that transcends all limitations; yea, it transcends gravitation. The gravitation of the earth has no power over this Love for it is incorruptible, undefiled and fadeth not away. Aren't you glad?

Take these thoughts in, dear ones, and if you can sing that song and remember what I say, it will be Wonderful! Just remember, if you will, "Do the Will"; that is applicable to you as well as I; and

'If I will do the Will of the LORD, I will draw all men unto Me.'

Now aren't you glad? You know you are happy! You never had such a happiness before, did you? Aren't you glad that you can part with the mortal world and have been filled with the Love of GOD instead of the world! Now GOD has taken away the first that HE may establish the second and that you can be a burning light; for as I said, I came to warm up the churches and incubate them, or, in other words, hover them as a hen hovers her brood. >

It is written,

'Our GOD is a consuming fire",

and not only that, but,

'GOD makes His ministering spirits Angels, and His ministers flames of fire.'

Here and now and here and there in this Omnipresent Life, I AM gathering the good wheat in the garner and the chaff I AM burning up with unquenchable fire. We are getting this Glorious Church which is called the Kingdom. Some of the writers saw it and caught the reflection, seeing it as

'A Glorious Church without spot or wrinkle.'

Aren't you glad? They saw this! They saw this! They saw these being purged of all fleshly affections, of worldly pleasures, and everything like that; all lusts and passions, and saw them coming up through great tribulation, washing their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. If they could only have seen it as it is, they could have said, "It is a glorious Kingdom of GOD." It is a glorious Kingdom of GOD without spot or wrinkle. It is without spot and it is without wrinkle because all materialism has been purged out. All of it has been purged out and all of those passions, fancies, tendencies and mortal pleasures; lusts and pleasures of the world that the Churches have striven so hard to get you not to do, in their way, but could not do it. Aren't you glad?

You know, so many times the preacher would tell you to stay away from the bar rooms and speakeasies and all such as that, but they could not keep you away, could they? But I have something that can keep you away! You don't care to go, do you? It satisfies your every desire and it sets you free from all wants. Then and there and here and now, you can declare, even as the Psalmist did when GOD spoke through the mouth called David and in the name called David,

'The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.'

You don't want a thing because you are satisfied in GOD! Hallelujah to the Lamb! You are satisfied in GOD! Hallelujah to the Lamb! Aren't you satisfied? CHRIST is rich and all you need and your every hunger, your Savior satisfies, doesn't HE? Satisfies you in all the fulness and takes away all lacks and wants. Aren't you glad?

You can be free of all undesirable conditions, of dissatisfying thoughts and tendencies, absolutely free! You don't even feel like going to the movies tonight, do you? It is Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful! You don't feel like going to the Coney Island tonight, do you? I have Something and I AM Something that satisfies your every desire. Truly might the Apostle have said,

'Show us the Father and it sufficeth us.'

As the song in this last time said,

'I shall be satisfied when I see Him, satisfied when I see Him face to face, and tell the story, saved by Grace, I shall be satisfied.'

Now aren't you glad? This Mighty Holy Name! The Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD, your Heavenly FATHER, with the conviction of your observation of both It and HIM, it has satisfied your every desire. It has set the prisoner free from all limitations, from lacks and wants; even from all adverse conditions and even from all gravitation. With the Spirit of the Consciousness you can ascend from place to place, and eventually your body will receive that ascending Spirit. I thank you.

Your Body of Flesh is the WORD OF GOD Materialized

'All That You Really Are Is GOD'

FATHER DIVINE'S Words from the Notebook of John Lamb

'There are joys flowing like a river every day and you and I can enjoy them. It is a wonderful thing to come to this place in consciousness where you realized that you can produce whatever you gaze upon. Whatever you gaze upon, that is what you tend to materialize, since you are made in the express image of GOD your FATHER. I was talking to a party a little while ago that thought her mother had had a stroke and they were seemingly in agony to think of it. But I was telling them that in reality your mother cannot have anything but that which is good, for GOD is your MOTHER and you never had another. When you get to this place in consciousness and realize it, you shall have detached yourself from all materialism and from all matter and from all mortality, and shall have attached yourself to the true Divine Mind which will lift you, as the song says: 'With tender hands He lifted me, from shades of night to planes of light, He lifted me.' It is a great consolation to know that your thoughts are things and as I said to the party, when you realize that your MOTHER is GOD and you never had another then you cast the trouble out of your system by casting it out of your consciousness and you will not be subject to the infirmities, and neither will she be subject to the infirmities of mortality. When you realize that you are absolutely one with GOD, that your body is one with GOD and all that you really are, is GOD, your mother, your father, your sisters, your brothers and all of your kin and everything else that you ever thought that you had that was good, is GOD. You never had another.

GOD condescended to put on and permit HIMSELF to put on mortal bodies through which to bring into outward expression other mortal bodies to appease the mortal concept of the human mind until those HE has brought forth into the world have risen to realize their oneness with GOD and have lost to this extent the limited degrees of consciousness concerning themselves and everybody else. And Jesus, the great Love Master, strove to get men to see and realize that, nineteen hundred years ago, supposedly in the days of ignorance. He strove to get men to realize that HE was one with GOD and that GOD was His FATHER and that men had failed to realize that and therefore, looked upon themselves as worms of the dust and afraid, and filled with corruption. Jesus said,

'When ye pray, pray ye our Father,'

He did not say, 'Pray ye Jesus' Father.' You see that would have been well enough for this day, to those of you who think GOD is Jesus' FATHER. The Christian world believes GOD is Jesus' FATHER and they don't believe GOD is their FATHER and your FATHER. They only think GOD is Jesus' FATHER, but HE is just as much your FATHER as HE was Jesus' FATHER. When you know it and when you put off that mortal version concerning yourself then you will be able to declare, even as He did, that GOD is 'my' FATHER and you never had another.

So as I was telling the party, when you realize that GOD is your MOTHER and has put on that body to prepare HIMSELF a body to function in on the earth, on the material plane, to appease the mortal concept of the human mind that calls itself your mother, and when you realize that is GOD's body,

'Know ye not that ye are the temples of the living GOD?'

'And GOD has said, I will walk in them, and talk in them.' And when you realize that

'In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us . . . And we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth,'

the same was in the beginning, and I can say the same today, the Word has been made flesh and it dwells among us, but that is you. Your body is a body of flesh, made out of the Word of GOD. GOD said,

'Let us make man in our own image,'

therefore, your very body is a body of flesh, the Word of GOD materialized, and we can behold HIS glory.

So as I said to the party, now cast out of your consciousness and out of your system, by casting it out of your consciousness, and out of her system and out of the systems of those that concerned her, all of the belief that this individual is something apart from GOD. Cast out of your consciousness that your mother has a stroke and you will cast it out of her system. So whatever we think, that is what we tend to produce in our physical structure and in the physical structure of those we come in contact with.

Father Says Thought Controls Climate Conditions

FATHER DIVINE'S Message given Whilst at theHoly Communion Table

20 West 115 Street, New York City

Thursday, March 19 1936 A.D.F.D., After Midnight

The song below preceded the message. Most effective and appropriate was this particular song, which was as an introduction to this great revelation from the Lord, for it was in accord with same. By the permission of FATHER , this great piece of literature is passed on to you.
Thank YOU FATHER.

Song

'Love! Love! Wonderful love!

Love! Love! Wonderful love!

It flows like a river, forever and ever,

From FATHER DIVINE.

Health! Health! Wonderful health! Etc.

Peace! Peace! Wonderful peace! Etc.

Happiness! Happiness! Wonderful happiness! Etc.

Success! Success! Wonderful success! Etc.

Prosperity! Prosperity! Wonderful prosperity! Etc.

Joy! Joy! Wonderful joy! Etc.

Life! Life! Wonderful life! Etc.

Love! Love! Wonderful love!

Love! Love! Wonderful love!

It flows like a river, forever and ever,

From FATHER DIVINE.'

PEACE EVERYONE:

("Peace FATHER DEAR!" came the happy greeting from the throng.)

...Now look at you. That little song you all seem to love so well, while you may enjoy it and believe it sincerely, there are those of our present civilization who do not enjoy such a version, not only the version as it is put forth through you and in your experience, but apparently, they do not enjoy the reality of this love that flows like a river, in reality.

The Cosmic Forces Obey
While listening to that song, I thought of how marvelous it would be, if this love that flows like a river could and would have access over all mankind, as it has over these. When and wheresoever this love has full and free access in the world, there will be no more vice and crime expressed, and the sins and iniquities of your fathers and your mothers will be remembered no longer. But in these few days you may look over your daily papers, and you can behold as it were a sketch and a reflection of a reminder of the sins and iniquities of your fathers and your mothers. When this love shall have enveloped the world, vice and crime shall come to an end. There shall be no more sin for the Kingdom of GOD shall have truly come and the will of GOD on earth shall be done. Wars and race riots, divisions and confusions and all of the chaotic conditions of the day, will be expressions of the past, where GOD the sun forever reigns and scatters those conditions away, and turns all of your darkeners into bright noonday. When mankind recognizes GOD as a living reality which has come to stay, even the cosmic forces of nature, they will obey.

Why should you live in lacks and wants? Why should you be in disasters? Why should you be in floods and flames? It is all because of vice and crime and sin of every kind. When men shall have been converted from that Adamic state of consciousness and prejudice shall have been completely eradicated, destructive thoughts dispelled from your mentality, there will be no more disasters, even the experience of our present day, yea of these few past days, such an experience will not be when this love shall flow like a river through each and everybody. The cosmic forces of nature will not express themselves destructively, but will express themselves harmoniously. You may be a little skeptical, but I AM here to say, trace your thoughts back to all of MY experiences, to all of MY demonstrations, if it would be stormy, floods, or raining, or cold, the weather becomes to be harmonious, for the harmonious Mind has control. Now isn't that wonderful!

Truth Shall Envelope The World
When this truth shall have enveloped the world, and brought all mankind into subjection to the Christ as you are, then and there, it will be universal as if is here and now under this jurisdiction. Oh, it is a privilege to realize what the life and love of GOD will do for mankind. This is not merely talk, beloved ones, it is our conscious conviction and realization, for it has been openly manifested to the children of men.

'Wheresoever a king reigns, there is where his kingdom is.'I cannot stress it too often and too vividly, for mankind seems to think we are subject to disasters, volcanoes, floods and storms. You are, so long as you live in vice and crime and sin of every kind; so long as you are subject to your predecessors' prejudices and bigoted tendencies, you will be subject to the infirmities of your father, for their iniquities will find you, but it is a privilege to realize even though GOD is a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children from the third to the fourth generation, I AM showing mercies upon thousands of them that love ME, and keep MY Commandments.

We are privileged to see and to say today, those of you who have seen your fathers' errors and have turned from them, those conditions, such as have been cannot find you, for you will be hid from them. We are not thinking about floods. We are not thinking about storms. We do not believe such expressions can do us any harm. Is it not written:

'He that puts his trust in ME, shall never be confounded.'

Then I say trust in the Lord. Have faith in your GOD, and whatsoever you desire, HE will bring it to pass. Upon this cause we can stand as one 'standing in the liberty wherewith the Christ has set us free,' if I might speak it, 'and be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage'- mortality, for GOD from those conditions has set you completely free.

Weather Control Is In The Hands Of Man

Oh, it is something to consider,

'If GOD is for you who can be against you?'

The cosmic forces of nature, they will work in harmony with you, even as you are harmoniously working with the Fundamental of Life. Now isn't that wonderful? But with prejudice and with bigoted minds, with destructive thoughts proceeding forth from your minds, you may expect disaster and destruction at all times. As I say, man controls the conditions of the weather automatically by negative or positive thinking. This is a scientific truth from a scientific point of view, according to the Scripture, for Jesus spoke to the seas when the storm was raging and said "Peace be still." Truly Jesus was the Wayshower, teaching you and others what you should do; how you should live, the way you should go.

Faith is the Essential
When Jesus worked a miracle, apparently the disciples marveled as it. He said,
'If you would have the faith of a grain of a mustard seed, you could say to yonder sycamine tree, be thou plucked up and cast in the depths of the sea, it would obey thee.'This was said to verify the words I have just spoken. If you have the faith of Christ,

'the very work that I do, shall you do,'

said He; therefore, if you are in perfect harmony with GOD, GOD with HIS cosmic forces of nature, the creative forces of nature and every other expression will work in harmony with you. They will not work destructively with you. They work destructively to those and for those who are destructive in themselves, those who think destructive thoughts, holding within themselves destructive ideas and opinions. By so doing, they create for themselves an inharmonious condition mentally, and the outward expression of the hand of nature will work automatically through the cosmic forces of nature destructively, according to your destructive thinking. For this cause, we can rejoice and be exceedingly glad. If you notice the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, you will find men at times, when the very cosmic forces of nature would work in harmony with them, at times, there were those whom the cosmic forces of nature worked inharmoniously to them, because of the inharmonious attitude they had taken towards GOD and mankind.

Keys to the Hidden Treasure
Since we are producers and expressers of our own positive or negative thinking, hereafter we will think positive thoughts, we will act positive in our actions, and we will work positive works, that we might produce the positive conditions, and the desirable results will follow. Men marvel at the outward expression of the limitlessness of these blessings. Why marvel at this when it is free for you as it is for ME? This unfoldment in this dispensation, as it is put forth into expression under this jurisdiction, is as free for you as it is for ME, but remember, you must live evangelically--give your hearts to GOD whole-heartedly, do away with all prejudices and all bigotry, and allow GOD to rule and work within you.

When this is accomplished, you too, as well as I, will have the keys to the hidden treasures of the earth, we will have the keys to all life and to all health and none will be able to hinder you.
Oh! It is a privilege, dear ones, but if you will turn from the right and live unto self, as you have been, you will bring swift destruction upon yourselves. When this comes forth into expression, you will say it is the hand of GOD. GOD has called for you, or GOD has called for the "other fellow." Your own destructive thinking, your own destructive actions, your own destructive nature and disposition has wrought destruction on your behalf.

Oh! It is something to think about, when you can behold your personal conditions are but the outward expression of your pre-conceived ideas and opinions and your pre-trend of thoughts according to what you have been thinking.

Destructive Thoughts Bring Destruction
Now again, we speak of the great depression and the conflicts, limitations and the hardships that millions are undergoing today. Mankind speaking of trying to lift the present system of things out of the great depression and the hardships which mankind has been undergoing, yet when we look around and observe those who are in authority, using the destructive forces of their power, in other words, abusing their powers to be destructive instead of being constructive. I think of the act of those who are in authority, who will destroy the farm produce, destroy crops, destroy fruit and vegetables and other fruits while millions are starving here. Truly might have one said,
'He that wilfully wastes, he must woefully want,'therefore, those who endorse it and encourage it, they shall suffer...

'A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.'If we have a law in connection with our country that is destructive, the country in itself is destructive. Now isn't that wonderful? (Truly wonderful!" assured the throng.) GOD has moved out on the face of the deep, and GOD shall turn and overturn until HE shall throw out every official who works destructively, and put in those who will stand for righteousness, truth and justice.

No Man Is Perfect
This is something to consider. You find the different politicians, many of them with words and acts of criticism one against another, but show ME one person who will deal justly between man and man, and I will be willing to vote for him. However, I do say, qualify yourselves intellectually, politically, socially and morally to meet the issues of life, whereby you may be able to pass the literacy test for registering and voting for the person or persons you sincerely believe will deal as near just, or the most justly among the children of men. Oh! It is something to consider. As I say at times, why is it there is so much crime? Why is it men resort to crime and violence to seek for justice? It is because they have not been taught the way of righteousness. This is why I have called for righteousness firstly, that justice might follow, for if righteousness does not come firstly, justice will come and be destructive. Now isn't that something to consider? MY own zeal is stirred at times. If it were not for righteousness, I MYSELF, would be Personally destructive, but because of righteousness firstly, I will not be destructive.

This great conversion is the only essential and the only hope of redemption, for without this great conversion, why mankind can see the great depression and also the oppression the millions are undergoing. Without righteousness you would seek justice through violence, therefore you would be destructive, but by seeking righteousness firstly, we will not be destructive. We will allow those who are destructive thinkers to re-act upon themselves. Their destructive thinking causes those conditions to come upon themselves in the fulfillment of the Scripture. "The wicked shall slay themselves." Their wicked thoughts will slay their wicked bodies when they return to the children of men as a boomerang. It is indeed wonderful!

GOD Will Shake The Whole Creation
I was speaking the other day concerning the Civil Right Law, commonly known as "The Equal Rights Law," in the State of Pennsylvania. There are those in the State of Pennsylvania, who have declared this may be made a law, but they will break the law. Because of prejudice, because of hate and destructive thinking, such a tendency will cause destruction and disasters among the nations. Pennsylvania is a State that is hit with this disaster more than any other State in the Union. Why is it? It is because of destructive thinking. Those who are in authority will endorse and encourage the violence of the outlaw, those who are rebelling against righteousness, truth and justice. Therefore, GOD will step in with the cosmic forces of nature, and shake the whole creation.

I have not done anything yet to what I will do unless prejudice and segregation immediately cease in the City and State of New York. They shall feel it and shall feel it and shall feel it. For every dollar, yea for every dollar's worth this country destroys, they shall lose a hundred dollars for every dollar. For every body the lynchers lynch, they shall lose a hundred bodies for that body they lynched. For every dollar the people rob a person out of by the name of color, or for the cause of race, they shall lose a hundred dollars for every dollar.

Discrimination Is A Robber
Take these thoughts to consideration.....Now remember, even the name C------- is a robber, I say, even the name C------ is a robber. Now isn't that wonderful! The person who must use the name C------ in reference to you, they are using it consciously or unconsciously as a robber, and I will prove what I AM talking about. Your qualifications may be equivalent to any other individual, but because of your race or color, as they may call it, they would not give you the office and if they gave you the office, they would not pay you the full salary. Now isn't that robbery? Now tell them I said it. The name C------ in itself is a robber when it is used to discriminate and to differentiate between man and man for the purpose of lower-rating and disgracing the individual. It is indeed wonderful! When you hear them say,"Yes, it is such and such a man--a "so-and-so man," regardless to his qualifications or his education or classification, handling him especially by some vulgar name that your cursed ancestors named them for slavery to keep them in bondage and to keep them as slaves to serve you, those of you who would serve them for nothing, the name in itself is used for robbery; to rob mankind out of his Constitutional Rights in this great Country, under which we are supposed to be protected by the Constitution of the United States.

With Or Without A Body
Oh! It is something to consider. Truly might have one said, by the prediction of the Spirit, as he was awakened,

'Tell Israel of her transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.'

Now they desire to stop this movement. They desire for corruption, vice and crime to continue, but I have come this time to end it. If there be a question in the mind of any "How can HE end it?" I will tell you. I AM Personal and yet Impersonal. I will accomplish MY endeavors with or without a person, with or without MY Personal Body. All I must needs do is to think or speak and MY Words will go forth and accomplish MY endeavors. I AM not bothering about the Body. If I have a Body, or if I did not have a Body, I would and I will accomplish MY endeavors, with or without a Body.

When the Body called Jesus disappeared, there and then the Foundation of Christendom was established and His Mission began. Now isn't that wonderful? His Mission began as soon as HE ceased to function as a Person, therefore, GOD is GOD with or without a Body. Those who would think on Jesus, the transmission of His Spirit and His Characteristics would be imparted to them. They too, as well as you, would be partakers of His nature, of His characteristics to carry out His endeavors automatically. Now isn't that wonderful?

Truly might have one said,

'Am I a soldier of the Cross, a follower of the Lamb and shall I fear to own His Cause or blush to speak His Name?'

As soldiers you go into the battle field to win or die. If you can die on the battle-field as a brave soldier, the spirit and the mind and your endeavors would be accomplished, for it would go on further and further. It is a privilege to realize GOD as a living sacrifice for all mankind as HE was in the Son's time in the Body in which HE came.

Establishing Righteousness Firstly
Righteousness! Truth and Justice, I have established it. Justice is established in your consciousness, in your mentality, therefore, Christ is ruling o the throne of your mind, and Christ alone shall reign thereon, because you sought righteousness firstly. Christ could not reign on the throne of the mind of those who have not sought righteousness, but since I have put righteousness into expression firstly for you and for your consideration, I will carry out MY endeavors to perfection.

Why will it be carried out scientifically and victoriously? It is because righteousness was sought firstly. Men have been on the bench as Justices but not with righteousness, therefore, without righteousness Christ will not rule on the throne of their minds as Supreme among the children of men, but because we have established righteousness firstly in your consideration and in your consciousness.

'Righteousness and Judgment is the habitation of HIS throne. The earth saw and trembled.'

Christ Alone Shall Reign
Christ has been enthroned on the throne of the minds of the children of men--all who have sought righteousness firstly without thinking destructively. Now GOD can rule in righteousness on the throne of their minds, and have all dominion and all authority without endeavoring to do any person any harm, but without righteousness, I say, men would be destructive. Violence would be sought firstly to seek justice. You would feel as if though you must take the law in your own hand to gain your Constitutional Rights, to gain that which is actually due you, that which mankind through corruption and falsity has taken from you. Now isn't that wonderful? You would endeavor to seek it through violence if you u were not converted, but since you are converted, you will seek it through righteousness, and you will get justice, for Christ will give it while HE reigns on the throne of righteousness and has all dominion.

Oh! It is a privilege to live in this recognition. Dial in on the fundamental continually, where GOD alone forever reigns and scatters night away, where GOD Himself through His condescension has truly come and turned all of your night into bright noonday, and will remain here always. I thank you.

Peace Everyone:

("Peace FATHER Dear!" again responded the great mass throng.)

I believe the most of us have well dined. I hope you have, for I have. There are many things yet to be said, I will say more in deeds and in actions. I will be speaking hereafter as I have never spoken. I shall not be discouraged until I shall stir from the bottom to the top. I mean to stir up until the least shall speak and the greatest shall do the same, and all must pay attention to what I AM saying. It is indeed wonderful, but the greatest thing of all, to know ye your GOD...GOD was GOD before HE had any Body and before you knew of HIM having a Body, HE was just the same. God is the same and always shall remain with or without a Bodily Form, matters not what may try to come, I shall be eternally the same. I thank you.

Out in the Mathematical Field: A Blessing Chant from Father Divine

What follows is an introduction and blessing chant composed by FATHER DIVINE, published in 1947.

FATHER DIVINE Speaks:

PEACE, EVERYONE!

Here we all are again. By the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, E Pluribus Unum I stand! Aren't you glad! In singing that last number, it is a declaration by the conscious conviction of millions according to the enumerated blessings I have so freely given! If only giving out those blessings by enumeration, in another composition I have declared that --

There are millions and millions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are billions and billions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are trillions and trillions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are quadrillions, there are quadrillions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are quintillions, there are quintillions,
There are quintillions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are sextillions, there are sextillions,
There are sextillions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are septillions, there are septillions,
There are septillions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are octillions, there are octillions,
There are octillions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are duodecillions, there are duodecillions,
There are duodecillions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are decillions, there are decillions,
There are decillions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are septi-decillions, there are septi-decillions,
There are septi-decillions of Blessings,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!
There are septi-decillions, times septi-decillions,
Times septi-decillions,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more!

Now this we enumerate into infinite space and into the Infiniteness of GOD'S infinite love, as creator and maker of all things! Aren't you glad!
