FATHER speaks, and comments are made upon the testimony given by a Brother, Mr. W. Faith, from New Paltz, N.Y. who sustained a broken neck in an accident and is alive today through the Mercies of the Living GOD, FATHER DIVINE.

(FATHER Speaks as follows:)

 

 

 

PEACE, EVERYONE: I would just like to say at this instance, the last gentleman who arose to speak, is one whose neck had been broken in several different places. He had a fractured neck in a number of places. He has been healed completely by the recognition of GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE, and by endeavoring to live according to MY Teaching. This is just one little sketch and a reflection of a fraction of a grain of what GOD is doing for the children of men.

It is written:

'In all of their afflictions, HE was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence healed them."..."HE took upon HIMSELF your infirmities and bear your diseases, and by His Stripes ye are healed.'

That is the great significance of the work of this Mission.

I often tell MY followers, hearers and friends, if anyone should be sick, I AM the only One who should be sick, for I have taken upon MYSELF their diseases, and I AM bearing their afflictions, and diseases. A person should not be sick when someone else is bearing their infirmities, bearing their diseases and bearing all of their burdens.

Take these thoughts to consideration, and you will see the significance of this Message and realize when a person goes on bond for another, that person is free to go forth until the time comes that he must be tried at the general session of the trail that is set before him. I thank you! I thank you! I thank you!

(Another follower, Miss Blessed Wisdom, of Newark, N.J. told of a marvelous healing by FATHER DIVINE. FATHER explains the condition of this individual, so that all can hear.)

 

PEACE, EVERYONE: Ladies and gentlemen and inhabitants of "The City of Brotherly Love," and Angels of the Kingdom, visitors and friends. I would just like to say at this instance, the last speaker, a lady weighing nearly three hundred pounds, was healed of a fracture of the head in several places, broken collar bone, broken wrist and internal injuries and the doctors had given up all hope; but when the insignificance of MY PERSONAL PRESENCE appeared, she became conscious and recognized MY PRESENCE. From then she was almost instantaneously healed. Inside of two weeks, as she said, she left the hospital, and she does not feel the effect of such a terrible accident, with all of those injuries that were as if though she would never have been healed by the best skilled physicians. I thank you.

 

PEACE, EVERYONE: I would just like to say again, I thought to call your attention to another one of the serious expressions---of the seriousness of her injuries. Her tongue was cut out. Her eye was knocked out and lay in the basin she declared, and yet she can see today out of that eye, better than she can out of the other eye. That is what GOD is doing for them. That is why they recognize GOD as a Supernatural PRESENCE, "tangibilated," materialized and personified. I thank you. (FATHER speaks after a testimony of a follower from Melbourne, Australia, Miss Peacock as follows:)

PEACE, EVERYONE: I AM not a dictator, but I AM a Speaker. As these MY Followers, hearers and friends who have experienced these divers healings and are testifying, do not have quite such a loud voice to be heard, I rise to speak and to verify what they say.

This is a lady all the way from Melbourne, Australia, having been healed without seeing ME Personally, from thence and even until now; and although she is here, the Spirit of MY Work is going on just as effectively in Sydney, Australia and in Melbourne and in all parts of Australia and New Zealand, the same as it is right here under MY Personal Jurisdiction.

This is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored. As the invention of electricity is a parable telling you of the mystery of GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE, I will tell you more distinctly in deeds and in actions that cannot be criticized by those who observe the mystery. The transmission of electricity today is conveying the message of the world war, as it may be termed, of bloodshed, and of thousands being killed--in other words, murdered, for the greedy gain of filthy lucre, and for dominion and authority. It can be conveyed through the ether by the invention of electricity; and by the invention of our modern broadcasting system but much more can the Spirit of MY PRESENCE be actually transmitted, for each of you should be at least a receiving set, if you cannot be and if you are not real broadcasting stations.

You may deem it fortunate, those of you who have received the blessings as you have, for from thousands and thousands of miles away, it is fortunate that I AM a Broadcasting Station of Salvation, and you are the receiving sets. By this mental and Spiritual short wave, you get the Message, for MY Spirit will do it. People are healed throughout the universe, those who are in harmony with the Fundamental for which I Stand, they come in harmony with the Blessings I AM producing and bringing into expression, and such Blessings as I AM enjoying and MINE; they also can enjoy the same by this Great and Immaculate Name, by which all mankind live, move and have their being, even if they are not conscious of it. I thank you.
