"There Are Many Things You May Learn or Behold as the Expression of Good."

"When You Learn to Unlearn That Which You Have Learned, Why Then You Will Have a Glorious Experience."

The Mount of the House of the Lord

The Mount of the House of the Lord

 

Man cannot find GOD out. He may study GOD from A to Z of the human mentality and through all of your mental and spiritual search or research work, one Will never be able to find GOD out for GOD'S Ways are past finding out. There are many things you may learn or behold as the expression of good, such as may be essential for one to partake of,, or as afore said, as a formula to be used for the purpose of bringing one to a higher expression of GOD; but yet, unless one lives up to these requirements, they cannot. You learn GOD by being a partaker of HIS Spirit. You cannot learn GOD by sitting on the outside mentally and spiritually. You must come in and be a full-fledged partaker of HIS Spirit and then you can learn more of GOD than you could from the outside. Now if you desire to learn GOD, be a Partaker of HIS Spirit and live in conformity to the same. That is the idea. (N. D. 7-17-54, A.D.F.D. p. 6)

********************************

0 the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of GOD, how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
For who hath known the Mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor?

(ROMANS 11 : 33-34)

Learn to Unlearn

(An excerpt from FATHER DIVINE'S Sermon
Given Madison, Ave., N.Y.C. 10-16-39 A.D.F.D.)

When you learn to unlearn that which you have learned, why then you will have a glorious experience. It is an old saying quite
often used in the world of phraseology, yea, a saying quite often used in the world of humanity:

'0nce a man and twice a child.'

When you go back to your childhood days, when you shall have unlearned all you did learn, all of your human tendencies, fancies and pleasures, your preconceived ideas and opinions -unlearn them and learn to LOVE, ME - I will give you victory and I will, if they will allow ME to, emancipate all humanity. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you.7

(N. D. 10 - 19 - 39 A. D. F.D. pp.96 - 97
