The Mount of the House of the Lord

The Mount of the House of the Lord

 

 

I have often said, those who are employed, those who are busy on jobs, when you get sleepy, why not go home and go to bed? You need not stay up all night. It is not required. Can you not see I AM not comfortless? I have plenty to accompany ME here in whatsoever I AM doing.

Then I say, when you are tired, when you are weary or fatigued and worn, why not go home and go to bed? Get up in the morning refreshed and made all anew, by allowing MY Spirit in you to build you up, put on new tissues, new cells those that you have worn out--in other words, for those you have worn out.

Then I say, if you have common judgment and live exactly according to MY Teaching, you will be alert mentally, spiritually and physically, and you will be active and supple and you will also be successful and prosperous, because MY Spirit can work through you effectively. And again, as I have said, children should be in bed before ten o'clock or at ten o'clock--school children. I have given that Message out from time to time and I recall the same, and I request the honor of parents and guardians, to see that they do so if they claim to be representing ME.

If you claim or pretend to be representing ME, you should be and do even as I have required of you to be true to your obligations, your responsibilities and stand up for that which is just and right. That is the way you can tell others you believe Who I AM--in other words, you know Who I AM! You cannot tell them effectively if you neglect that which is your duty and if you fail to do that which you are responsible for. I mention this because I told you all some time ago, and I AM still telling you the same: those who are married, they should be true to their companions. They should be true and faithful and remain true and faithful continually. Take these thoughts to consideration. It is written:

'You cannot serve two masters.'

Then I say, that which is spoken of concerning yourself and your companion, even so with your means--in other words, your finances. You should not, in MY opinion, use it destructively and foolishly, but express the spirit of independence in all of your activities and refuse to try to get something for nothing.

But as yet you do not have to be destructive nor wasteful, for what said Jesus concerning this mystery? Even though the blessings were increased and multiplied by thousands and thousands of times as much as that which He had apparently, when all had finished eating, He said:

'Take up the fragments that nothing be wasted.'

This is to let you see and know GOD does not believe in being wasteful, yet He believes in having a full and a plenty, for did He not increase and multiply the two small fishes and the five barley loaves? This was done nineteen hundred years ago, but it is a privilege more effectively and more to be considered by you, what GOD has actually done among you and is daily doing, increasing and multiplying the blessings by millions and millions and millions in your actual presence daily.

Then I say, it is something to consider. Can you not see the blessings I increased and multiplied more than they were when Jesus blessed the two small fishes and five barley loaves? You can see the blessings are increasing and multiplying daily! For this cause MY Followers are always desirous of having ME handle the food. They desire to have ME handle the food, whilst yet it is not by MY Personally handling the food. According to your conscious conviction and your faith you have in ME, the food is blessed and everything you lay your hands to is blessed when you live exactly according to MY Teaching.

Then I say, build upon this foundation if you wish to, but remember your daily obligations regardless to where you go. Regardless to what you do, your daily obligations should be considered and do not try to use MY Name for a selfish purpose to evade the issue of your daily obligations and your daily responsibilities. Everything can be adjusted satisfactorily for everybody and everybody can be blessed abundantly, if you live exactly according to MY Teaching, by the relaxation of your conscious mentality and by the stilling of yourself from your egotistic and selfish and malicious ways of expression, and allowing the Spirit of GOD to work in you and to tell you and lead you. If this is done, you will be blessed, each and everyone.

I need not say more. I will say more later on in the day. But remember, one day is as a thousand years with GOD, and a thousand years as one day. You cannot confine nor define GOD, for GOD fills all space and is absent from none; therefore you need not think especially of a twenty-four-hour day. But if you think of a twenty-four-hour day, you might find I AM in it as well as in the one-thousand-year day.
