PEACE, EVERYONE! ('"Peace., FATHER Dear! returned the enthusiastic multitude.) This is not merely a password with ME, neither shall it be merely a password with you, for the inhabitants of the earth shall all speak this Word and all shall eventually recognize your GOD. Aren't you glad? (N. D. 8-3-63 A.D.F.D. p. 4)

The Magic of Peace

(An excerpt from a message by FATHER DIVINE Given at 115th Street, N.Y.C. 12-1-35 A.D.F.D. 8.15 P.M.)

"When I say "PEACE!, you all become immediately calm, and Peace overshadows you all. So we wish for this Peace that surpasses all human understanding. The masses of the people today cannot understand how just one Word of Peace can cause you all to become calm immediately - they can't understand how it is and why it is you all are willing and ready to obey at all times. It is the Peace that surpasses all human understanding and the Love together combined, with the unity of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, which causes you all to unify yourselves with the Almighty and harmoniously sit and stand whensoever HE speaks. Now isn't that Wonderful!

For this cause. we are rejoicing, and we are exceedingly glad to know this Truth is a Living reality. It is something they will be seeking. The masses in the world of vice and crime, the social, political and intellectual worlds, they will be seeking this Peace, if it is only for the purpose of conveying the Spirit of GOD'S Omniscience to bring about Peace and Harmony where there was confusion.

I believe every organization today would desire to have this Peace, and especially this Influence that will control, and actually does control one and all, just by the Spoken Word. Not by coercing you into something, but by merely speaking the positive Words of Truth - you become calm immediately,, willing and ready to listen. Therefore this Truth is far-reaching, surpassing all human understanding. They cannot understand it with all of the human intelligence of this present day. It is a matter of impossibility for them to understand the mystery, and how I keep you all together in unison. Oh, it is a privilege, Dear Ones!

(S. W. 12-14-35 A.D.F.D., pp. 20-21)
