Message after Message and Lesson after Lesson poured forth from the Fount of GOD'S Omniscience during the visit to the beautiful extension, the Hope Farm. The Door of the House of Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding was thrown open wide by the Loving Hands of our Savior, that all who would, might enter in and partake freely of the precious Gems of Salvation, the Life-giving Words of our LORD, FATHER DIVINE.
This particular Message herein recorded deals with the subject of the reality of thanksgiving and praises that are offered to GOD. Men thought at one time that prayer should be compulsory; especially in the Quaker Church of the past generation. If you were found not praying diligently while in church, you were apt to be prodded with a long sharp stick or pole by one of the ushers of said church, as a remembrance to pray more sincerely.
But how our Sweet FATHER has broken down such barriers! We are not compelled to say or pray a thing if we do not wish to. And because of this, the words, "I thank YOU, FATHER" are so deeply imbedded in our subconsciousness, until if we were cast down in the depths of the ocean, still would we be saying our simple little prayer, "I thank YOU, FATHER! I thank YOU, FATHER!" Does this not prove the saying that,
'Where coercion begins, the Work of GOD that moment ends?'
Therefore, read for yourselves this beautiful Message and partake of these wonderful
Words that are given so lovingly to the whole world!
(The foregoing words are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER Speaks as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! Good Health, Good Will and a Good Appetite for Everybody! Good Manners, Good Behavior, All Success and All Prosperity! These and all other blessings to all creation I bring, if they will but accept of them.
Whilst sitting and looking and Personally I Beheld it, the Limitless Blessings bestowed upon you all! If not continuously, up until now, these blessings on you, I can say on us, to fall; the limitless blessings of Comfort and Convenience, of all modern improvements and the highest light of understanding given to humanity religiously.
Through the Condescension of GOD in Love and Mercy, I came, speaking in the language of the Christians, yea, to the Christian world in their "dialectable" language I AM speaking, as representing Christianity, yet with all their great vocabularies under Christianity and with all of the past and present history of what you and others have experienced and are now experiencing. I said from this unfoldment, you have not seen nor heard of the exemplification of the reality of Christianity as being advocated and stressed by the Christians.
It is a privilege to observe the mystery and observe it being brought into materialization, materially manifested and brought into outer expression, the significant Work of GOD'S Actual Presence, of His Love and of His Mercy for all humanity; the reality of your fondest imagination. For this cause you can say, "My dream as a human being has truly come true!" "My dream," I say, "as a human being," you can say, "it has truly come true," for as an individual speaks and bespeaks the sentiment of all creation, you can say, "My dream, as an individual representing all humanity, has come true;" and the dream, no longer a dream to be surmised and considered suppositionally and mythically, neither mythologically, but you can observe the reality and the fondest imagination of all the religious world in outer expression, for GOD tangibilated it and made it visible, real, tangible and practical for the comfort and convenience of all humanity.
Then I say, it is something to praise GOD for! I said as I thought and thought as I said and beheld the great unfoldment of My Presence demonstrating and materializing and yet exhibiting and demonstrating the materialization of GOD'S limitless blessings, His Love in the name of blessings to this people! His Love transmitted and translated into blessings that are Practical and Profitable, that are for the comfort and convenience of your soul and for your body. Aren't you glad! No longer merely to be considered for the benefit of your soul, as the religious world considered, but for the benefit of your body as well as for your soul, GOD'S blessings to you are a living reality, made real, tangible and practical, made the hope of your Redemption for your present day existence and for your comfort and for your convenience physically and personally as well as spiritually.
Then I say, you have something to Praise GOD for! If it was only this unfoldment of this particular Extension, it could have been lifted up as a sample and as an example for all humanity, especially for those who are religious, to let them see and know, if they are true and faithful, their religious conviction if they believe sincerely in the Savior, it is not in vain! It is a living reality, for GOD has tangibilated it as well as making it your conscious conviction.
GOD has tangibilated His Spirit, His Presence, and has placed it here with you; His actual Spirit, His actual Presence, that you might observe GOD in outward expression as GOD, through His Condescension, has actually tangibilated it, that your physical bodies and your physical surroundings might be comfortable and convenient, that you might live in Peace and Pleasure and have All Success and All Prosperity whilst tabernacling here in this community, whilst tabernacling here and elsewhere, that you might be a standard of Decency, of Cleanliness, of Godliness, of Righteousness, of Truth and of Justice, as I MYSELF have exemplified! I said as I MYSELF have exemplified it and them!
Then build upon this Foundation and you will not have an occasion to fret nor worry, for GOD from this angle of expression is a Standard and a LIGHT to all creation! Oh, it is a privilege to observe the mystery and to Give Thanks and Praise for the Limitless Blessings you are now receiving and have been receiving!
Whilst looking at the delicious food, limitlessly bestowed upon you and transmitted through My Personal Hands as a blessing to all mankind, I thought of how you prayed and requested in that of which was commonly known, "asking a blessing" before I Came. A good many of you would say,
'LORD, make us true and thankful for the blessings we are about to receive for the nourishment of our body and for the benefit of our soul!'
Aren't you glad! This little prayer, as being called "asking a blessing" on
the food, you can see it is a living reality now, as GOD the Blesser has truly
come and touched with a mental finger, the food you eat and the food you drink
for the redemption of your body as well as for your soul! Therefore, the blessing
of the food, since it is a blessing of GOD, it is a blessing to your body as
well as to your soul, and if you do not take this food unworthy, deceivingly
and dishonestly, and be Competent and True, as I AM to you, why, the food will
be a blessing for your body as well as for your soul and you will tangibilate
that of which I have imparted to you in the food! Aren't you glad!
'LORD, make us true and thankful for the blessings we are about to receive, for the nourishment of our body and for the benefit of our souls, in the Name of JESUS CHRIST. Amen!'
That little prayer, as the asking of blessings, transmitted through all of the
Christian world of religions and all different other religions of our advanced
and past and present civilization, they all have prayed equivalently the same
in some way or the other, requesting blessings such as you are now enjoying;
asking for them because they were not conscious of the presence of the GIVER
of such blessings; therefore they were daily asking and beseeching and apparently
getting nothing! Apparently asking and going and apparently getting nowhere and
having not yet started from where they first began; having not advanced to the
light of the advanced civilization in which we are now living scientifically,
that they might be able to compete with the scientists and other advanced studies
of psychology of the material world and of the other subjects of our advanced
civilization. They have not advanced, a good many of them, from where they began
religiously; but such a privilege -- you all have been lifted and have advanced
scientifically, intellectually and spiritually and religiously as much as others
have advanced scientifically and intellectually!
Then I say you have something to Praise GOD for; to realize, that which you prayed for in the asking of the blessings from your earliest existence, is a living reality in the midst of this people! Therefore, you have something to Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for! In other words, in other versions you have prayed -- if not you, others have,
'Good LORD, bless this food that is provided for our bodies and unite us close together in the Unity of the Spirit, that our souls might be blessed by the food we partake of,'
and such like! Many different prayers handed down through the ages from your
ancestors, giving you information and leading you and teaching of your Savior,
causing you to seek diligently with the spirit of sincerity, the reality of something
you understood not! But GOD, in Love and Mercy, came as the Poorest among them,
but making many Rich, from all the diverse angles of expression! The most insignificant,
the most illiterate, the most under-privileged, the most non-considered, yet
making many considered or to be considered and causing many to become rich and
become richer financially, intellectually, politically and otherwise, by the
Presence of your GOD! Is not this something to consider?
When you build upon a Foundation such as this one that cannot be shaken through many trials and tribulations, persecutions, accusations and criticism, the Spirit of My Presence continues to advance scientifically, intellectually and continues to unfold many mysteries more effectively, that GOD Himself might be reckoned where HE was least considered! Aren't you glad!
GOD had not even slightly been considered in such as this insignificance, but this is the place where I came, a place where I had not been considered, slightly considered! Now I AM reckoned and realized as the Redeemer and the Savior of all mankind!
Oh, it is a privilege to live in such a recognition! Then I say, you have said,
'LORD make us true and thankful for the blessings we are about to receive for the nourishment of our body and for the benefit of our soul in the Name of the FATHER, the SON and the HOLY GHOST, Amen!'
This little prayer has been heard! This little prayer has been answered! Now
you are truthful and you are thankful for the blessings bestowed upon you! Aren't
you glad! That is why you say daily, "I thank YOU, FATHER," hourly, "I
thank YOU, FATHER!" No longer as a ritual or as a custom to get down or
to sit down to your banquet table and say,
'LORD, make us truly thankful!'
I have already made you truly thankful and caused to say, "Thank YOU, FATHER" volitionally
and voluntarily, and consciously and unconsciously you will say it before you
think it, "I thank YOU, FATHER!"
I have made you truly thankful for the blessings you are receiving, in the answer to the prayer your ancestors have prayed and your fathers and mothers as they may be termed, coming down through the different religions,
'LORD, make us truly thankful!'
I have caused you to be the personification and the materializers of such things
for which you have prayed! I have caused you to be the actual demonstrators of
the thanksgiving of which you have been requesting, therefore you have become
to be a thankful people in reality and you are known by the language you daily
speak, "I thank YOU, FATHER!"
What a privilege to know you are the fulfillers of the most positive assertions and requests that have been made by the people, being the fulfillers of the predictions that have been predicted and the positive assertions, the prayers and the requests your ancestors have been making, your mothers and your fathers and all others who have come before you, those who sought these blessings with the spirit of sincerity - - you are now the recipients and the fulfillers of the requests and of the predictions; you are the fulfillers of the affirmations others were making! But they thought -- no doubt, a good many of them -- that they were the fulfillers, but they were not the fulfillers in reality, but you are the fulfillers in reality! They were the fulfillers pretentiously and inspirationally, visionally and from a mythological point of view, but you are the fulfillers psychologically and mentally and Spiritually in reality as the Tangibilators and the Fulfillers, as the inheritors of the blessings requested by others!
In comfort and in all convenience, we live in splendor! Those who have been the most under-privileged, those who have been non-privileged, all can enjoy My Blessings equivalently! Aren't you glad!
You have heard them say in mortal consciousness through the religions before I came Personally,
'When we get to Heaven, we will be one height!'
All will be on EQUALITY and there will be no great and no small. There will be
no division! All will be in the unity of the Spirit and I heard you say through
Christendom,
'We belong to the Union Band,'
and many other such songs bearing witness of what you are now experiencing. Aren't
you glad!
Now you can see the reality of what I have done for you all as the FULFILLER of the prophecy and of the prayers and the requests all humanity have been making, when they made it and them with the spirit of sincerity. Aren't you glad! And I could hardly hold My Peace when I looked and beheld the Limitless Blessings being issued out through these Hands on the material plane for your Comfort and for your Convenience and for the Sustenance of your body as said you or your ancestors in the prayer, as asking blessings!
'LORD, make us truly thankful for the blessings we are about to receive, for the nourishment of our body and the benefit of our souls!'
Aren't you glad! The Scripture is fulfilled this day in your hearing, and your
prayers and the prayers of your ancestors -- yea, they were yours before you
were reincarnated in these bodies -- are answered in this present time you are
the recipients of these blessings and the prayers that were sent up to your LORD
and your Savior! I thank you.
