There was a story told once of a goat – a billy goat. This is a little different story. I will tell you more of it some other time, but I will tell you enough of it at this particular juncture to stir up your pure minds. It is indeed wonderful!

They say there was a goat down on the roadside eating, and also a ram. They said this ram looked up, and the goat saw him, and he started at the ram. Now a sheep is not supposed to fight, especially a lamb. It is indeed wonderful! “But when this goat started after the ram, the ram did not move out of its tracks, apparently, but stood still, and the goat got after him, and when the goat would come up to him, the ram would just – – (Father finished the sentence with a gesture, showing how the sheep rammed the goat.) The goat kept trying it, and he found out the ram’s head was harder than his. Of course, the ram did not leave his place to interfere with the goat.

It has been questioned from time to time throughout the world of religion: “For what purpose did Jesus resurrect Lazarus if he was to die again?” It profited nothing as far as he was concerned, saving that he might be used that the Glory of GOD might be seen by him. Millions have believed even until now through and by the resurrection of Lazarus. You see the mystery? By this, Lazarus was resurrected and His Glory was revealed – – I mean the Glory of GOD was revealed by the resurrection of Lazarus from the grave. Aren’t you glad!

Then I say, there is a time and a season for all things. If you notice the mystery of the hand of nature working through and by mother nature, both in vegetation in the animal life, and also in the animalistic kingdom things are expressed or manifested according to the plan and the purpose of GOD.

I will tell you again as I have told you in the past, GOD Himself is a looking glass. In GOD you can reflect yourself and you should only be identified in the Christ where you are hid from all sin, crime, violations of all of the laws of GOD and of man and hid from all strife. There is where you can hide, for

“The name of GOD is a strong tower, and
The righteous run therein and is safe.”

“You are hid with Christ in GOD when you are dead and dead indeed.”

“In that you die, you die unto sin;
In that you live, you live unto GOD.”

There are degrees of Righteousness unfolded. There are degrees of Righteousness and Truth developed, but when perfection shall have been exhibited, even these or those degrees of harmony in Righteousness and in the positive way of expression shall apparently be turned into darkness by the light of perfection. Oh, it is a privilege to realize it.

The moon gives light apparently from the reflection of the sun, but when the sun arises itself in the horizon, the light of the sun will overcome the moon and the moon will cease to give her light. The moon cannot reflect the brightness of the sun anyh longer when the sun itself comes forth into expression.

All of the positive expressions of degrees coming forth into our expression, yea, even though they be harmonious, the positive and not the negative – – when the perfected state of expression shall have been exhibited, those degrees of Righteousness and of the positive unfoldment will be turned into darkness in comparison with the positiveness of perfection when it is exhibited. The stars and the moon – – they refuse to shine when the brightness of the sun shall have shone in. They give no more the brightness of their light, for perfection has truly come – – that which is in part is done away with at that time!

FATHER DIVINE
