What is God?

FATHER DIVINE’S Letter Dated July 5th, 1956 A. D. F.D.

My dear Mrs. Lane,

Your letter of the 11th ultimo is received with clipping attached.

It is wonderful to see how MY Spirit is moving in the hearts and minds of men to establish just laws in government. I have long declared that as it is on MY immediate Staff, so shall it be in government, from land to land and from shore to shore.

The amalgamation of the peoples of the world is the only solution to world Peace and Prosperity. It is the key to the physical health and safety of the people individually and collectively. It is the power that will keep the planes in the Air, the ships on the Sea and the trains on the tracks. It is the spirit of Democracy that will create International Good Will that will promote science and invention which will secure men in their stand for the Brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God.

Now relative to your question concerning the Universal Mind Substance and the Spiritualization of material things and the materialization of Spiritual things, biblical history informs you that

‘In the beginning the earth was void and without form and darkness was upon the face of the waters. And GOD said, Let there be light and there was light.’
God in the invisible realm of expression, was, and is, the Universal Mind Substance – the invisible, intangible, infinite Power, of the Holy Ghost; in other words, Spirit and Mind. Then I say, out of nothing GOD created His Creation, and by the same Power can many worlds be created for you can create the kind of world your thoughts can produce.
In the beginning of Creation God did not have a Body, but since that time, the very WORD of Creation has become Flesh, and the children of this Dispensation can Behold the Perfection of Life in the Personified God-head Bodily Form.

Overcoming Evil With Good

FATHER DIVINE Interview Granted to Mr. Maxwell Fisk, of Australia In the Office-workshop, of the Peace Center Church, 152-160 West 126th Street, New York City, Friday, May 8th, 1942 A.D.F.D

BLESSED REDEEMER, WE THANK THEE!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and the interview follows:)

Secretary: This is Mr. Fisk from Australia, FATHER.

Mr. Fisk: How do You do, FATHER?

FATHER: PEACE! How are you? What might be your name?

Mr. Fisk: My name is Maxwell Fisk. I’m from Australia . ..

FATHER: I see.

Mr. Fisk: . . . and I came not really for myself, although I am really interested, but for my father’s sake. He is interested, very interested, way off in Australia, and he asked me to come in to see You, but I put it to get some of Your magazines. He wants them.

FATHER: I see.

Mr. Fisk: … and I am going to take them back to Australia to him . . .

FATHER: That’s fine.

Mr. Fisk: . . . and one of Your people was so kind to me. I want to get one of the modern -the latest issue. They gave me a very good pile of the back numbers …

FATHER: Sure.

Mr. Fisk: . . . but I have just been down listening to them in the room-You would call it the confession, would You?

FATHER: Yes, maybe, in the auditorium?

Mr. Fisk: Yes. It is fascinating.

FATHER: Yes.

Struck by the Happiness of the Followers

Mr. Fisk: Do You know–of course, You will have heard this from many, many people, but coming in as a stranger from a land so far away and just coming in, the first thing that hits me is the happiness on everyone’s face.

FATHER: It is wonderful! Well, they are, they are quite happy. It is considered through faith in GOD and sincerity, if a person is sincere in whatsoever they do, that person can reach a source of happiness beyond a reasonable doubt, that transcends the average state of happiness that the average person has who is not really conscientiously sincere.

Man Controls the Conditions of the Weather Automatically by Negative or Positive Thinking

FATHER DIVINE’S Message given Whilst at the Holy 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!
I 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.

Liberty, According to the Constitution, and the Reality of Happiness

Our FATHER’S Message at the Banquet Table, Krum Elbow, The Promised Land, N. Y., Sunday, April 16th, 1939 A.D.F.D., Time — 12:00 P.M.

So precious and sacred is the LORD, our GOD to all humanity, and so mercifully sacrificed is HE to all His children, that the very Words HE speaks, which are His Own creative Inner Self, should be our utmost consideration and contemplation at all times. In this beautiful and heart-satisfying Message, FATHER so dynamically delivered in the Krum Elbow Mansion, there is food for body, soul and mind that should stimulate the devotion of one and all in their endeavors to live this immaculate Life of CHRIST, and be more perfectly consecrated than ever.

FATHER stresses that the united meanings of the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence, were nothing less than “Life, Liberty and the reality of Happiness,” to be the goal of American democracy, and in His eagerness to open wide this door for the children of men, HE reveals that the impersonal and unselfish Life of CHRIST, with a constant recognition of GOD’S Ever-Presence, is the only way to attain this desired hope and aim. For His Beloved Heart of Sincerity towards one and all, we truly love HIM!

As a forerunner to His significant Words, HE sang for us the following little revelation; given in part. Thank YOU, FATHER!

SONG

‘Life, Life, Life; Life and Liberty.
Life, Life, Life; Life and Liberty.
Oh, that is what you need, etc..

If you get Life and Liberty, I will give the rest, etc..
Liberty is privilege, that is what you need,
Liberty is the privilege all are seeking,
Oh, that is what you need!

You will have an access wheresoever you may go,
If you have Life and Liberty; Success comes by
your Liberty, and also by your privilege —
I say, Life and Liberty!’
