"REJOICE in the LORD in this Great Kingdom of GOD. Joy! Joy! Joy!"

(An excerpt from a message by FATHER DIVINE Given: 126th Street, N.Y.C., 7-20-38, A.D. F. D., 1:30 PM)


The Mount of the House of the Lord

The Mount of the House of the Lord

How glorious it is to observe the mystery, and to live, and abide in MY Spirit continually; for from burdens of sin and sorrow you. will be lifted, and you will have no longer an occasion to fret nor worry. That is the mystery.

Oh! it is a privilege I say, Dear Ones! Then I say., "REJOICE in the LORD in this Great kingdom of GOD., where you are now for there is joy! joy! joy!" I heard You say by the Religion's conviction volitionally:

'In my FATHER'S House, there is JOY! JOY! JOY!'

Let this be your FATHER'S House if you will., if You know your GOD. By this you will have Joy, Joy! Joy! If You do not have Joy! JOY! Joy! it is because of some shortcoming of your own, because of making the disconnection instead of making the connection. Make Your mental and Spiritual contact by thinking in and on the same lines I AM thinking; contact MY trend of thoughts, and I will lead you on to victory. I am giving you victory over depressions. You will no longer be depressed mentally nor Spiritually, neither will you be under the depressions economically, nor any other manner of depression, but you will revel into the Glorious Liberty of the Sons of GOD, and from undesirable conditions you will be emancipated, and you will shout and Praise GOD forever and forever.

You feel good when you are in the PRESENCE of GOD, When you realize you are in the ACTUAL PRESENCE of GOD, even though you may try to feel dreary and cloudy and all such as that, when you think about where you are, your dreariness and your cloudiness and fogginess will pass away, for the brightness of the sun and its rays causes all doubts and fears and fogs and mists to pass away, and GOD HIMSELF to come forth into expression, eternally to remain.
