FATHER DIVINE SAID:
"We shall not be discouraged neither be disturbed in the slightest degree, until we shall have universally established the true meanings and the Spirit of the Declaration of Independence within us. True Americanism must be converted into true Evangelism, and the true spirit and meanings of independence must be brought to fruition within us vividly until we can express the spirit of supremacy from every angle expressible; for when the spirit of independence is brought to fruition, with the Declaration of Independence and the meanings of it, there and then such an independence developed within us will be the spirit and the meanings of supremacy, and the supremacy of which men have been speaking will be a living reality within us.
The supremacy of men, of nations, of races and of peoples, as supremacy may be termed, when it is developed in individuals, it must be the fruition of independence through the righteousness of GOD as transmitted, and the Life of GOD through HIS independence must be brought to fruition in individuals. They must harmonize wholeheartedly with the Infinite, The Supreme One, and the Spirit of the Supreme One will produce the spirit of supremacy. Those of you who live it and express it will be expressing the spirit of supremacy. For this cause we are exceedingly glad. I speak, yet I listen: I hear, and I AM observing. That which I have spoken, I have brought into existence even while I AM speaking and while I AM hearing. This is not a supposition, it is a declaration of the Predictor~~one eternal Truth transmitted as a declaration when it is spoken within us, knowing once and forever that which was spoken into existence in the beginning of the creation, it was a prediction as it may be termed, but it was merely a command; but to mankind, or to the human mind, it could have been termed a prediction. GOD said: 'Let there be light'~~immediately light appeared according to the Scripture. It was a prediction in the command, the request of the Almighty. Oh, it is a privilege to realize the mystery, and to live it and express it continually, until you lose all sight of dependence and the spirit of dependence, and lift yourselves in the place of the spirit and the meanings of independence, and express it individually, even as the country declared it and expressed it as a nation! Then I say, that which I have spoken into consideration, if I do not say a word, or move a finger in the act of expression, I shall bring it to pass and you shall observe it, for it is 'Not by power, nor by might, but by my spirit...' Hence, if you speak positive words of faith, that which is spoken even through the most insignificant, if they are powerless so far as physical ability is concerned, if they are powerless, so far as mental ability is concerned, the very words that you have spoken by faith will take form, for it is not you that performs it, it is GOD. Aren't you glad? That which I have spoken into consideration, I shall not deviate from MY assertions until I shall have established it in reality materially and physically among the people, and all shall recognize GOD'S Actual Presence and shall enjoy the spirit of independence and the spirit of supremacy when it is brought to fruition within you.
