FATHER DIVINE
Song:
'Walk, walk, walk, walking in the Light;
Are you walking in the Light, walking in the Light -- are you walking in the Light?
'Stand, stand, stand, standing in the Light;
Are you standing in the Light," etc.
'Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in the Light," etc.
'Do you, do you, do you love the LORD? Do you love the LORD?
Do you, do you, do you love the LORD? Do you love the LORD?'
FATHER Speaks as follows:
PEACE EVERYONE! Once again I arise as I have arisen but stressing My arising as I exhibit it in expression. I have arisen in the hearts and in the minds of millions. For this cause you are here this morning! This little composition as a question I AM putting forth into expression to those of you who hear this Message -- "Do you love the LORD?"
Then if you do, are you walking in the Light of My Word? Are you endeavoring to do what I say? Are you abiding under the shadow of the Almighty and in the place where GOD has your protection, where destruction cannot find you?
I would just like to say at this instance, the time seems to be quite expired according to the mortal version, but of course it is true, in the consciousness of My followers and in their consideration time and eternity have no destination for they are without a beginning and without an end! But those who are living in mortal consciousness and do not understand, they may consider that the time is almost at hand, but in our consideration there is One Eternal Day, for as I said some years ago from a mechanical point of view through science and invention it is possible to bring forth into expression your conscious realization of being in the sunlight twenty-four hours in a day.
By science and invention you are observing things that are very instructive to inspire you with wisdom, knowledge and understanding to see and to believe things that have been spoken of concerning the mystery of GOD and of His Presence. Those things you could not have seen without science and especially at this present time.
I said shortly after the invention of the airplane -- I said, the time may come when airplanes can make a speed at the rate of one hundred miles an hour and from one hundred miles an hour to one thousand miles an hour. When this is accomplished mechanically, if the machines in and at that time shall have been improved to the degree that they can pass through all sorts of climates regardless to the condition of the atmosphere, planes will be able to transcend all barriers and continue without being handicapped or hindered and fly at the rate of one thousand miles per hour -- if this mechanical invention shall have been developed to that degree in the advanced light of such a civilization, you can start out in this Country going west with the sun at noonday and return around the globe tomorrow, still remaining exactly almost under the sun!
In some part of this Country at noonday at a certain time of the season, the sun is almost straight up above you. Your shadow is very short. Because the sun is so near above you, it almost brings the head of your shadow to your feet. I said, no doubt the time will come, with this great invention by the spirit of wisdom, knowledge and understanding transmitted to mankind, when they will be able to soar above the earth and encircle the globe inside of twenty-four or twenty-five hours!
When this is accomplished, I said, then and there to you or those who will experience such it will be as an expression as a sketch, in one Eternal Day where the natural S-U-N did not go down and would not go down, so long as you could go around the earth with the sun and stay underneath the sun.
This is mentioned to show you that GOD, through Science and Invention in the light of this advanced civilization, will teach mankind the wisdom of GOD'S Actual Presence and the mystery of His Majesty among this people, in the actual fulfillment of the Scripture -- no longer merely to look for it to be fulfilled suppositionally and superstitiously from a suppositional point of view, but look forward to see it fulfilled actually and in reality that you might consciously observe the fulfillment of the Scripture and enjoy it in your present bodies.
I heard one say,
'When we have been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun; we shall have no less days to sing GOD'S praise, than when we first began.'
I heard one say also,
'In that great getting up morning when the dead in CHRIST shall rise!" and "In that great gathering where congregations ne'er break up and Sabbath has no end .'
In this light of understanding where we are now living, we are beginning to see
Sabbath has no end, the Sabbath wherein the congregations never break up, where
they are so unified together mentally and spiritually until they cannot depart
from each other physically, for the spirit is made material and the material
bodies are made so spiritual and so expressive according to the mortal -- you
cannot see one without getting the other!
We shall cause your fondest imagination to become to be a living reality, made real, tangible and practical; and as you live it and express it by bringing your bodies into subjection, your fondest imagination shall be a living reality and GOD as the Tangibilator shall make your fondest imagination practical. Aren't you glad?
For this cause we are assembled here this morning, bringing into outer expression that which you once imagined, that which you once surmised and that which you once desired but thought it was impossible to be accomplished on the earth. You thought Heaven was some place far away geographically and you could only get there through death and through going through and by the psychic plane before you could get to Heaven!
That is a true saying psychologically or mentally, but it is not necessary to be fulfilled physically, for that which is accomplished mentally by supposition in your fondest imagination can be made a living reality. How glorious it is to realize, that which a man can imagine can become to be a living reality for you as a people, and each and every living creature, even the animal kingdom. All living beings born of man and beasts, they were merely imaginations, an idea firstly, before they were formed in the likeness of the bodies of which they are now representing.
Then I say, it is a privilege to live in such a recognition. Therefore we are now actually fulfilling your fondest imagination and bringing into outer expression that which was imagination and causing men and mankind universally to realize that which they once surmised. GOD is no longer far away, but GOD is present here today, now, henceforth and through all eternity. Aren't you glad?
I say, anything that can be imagined can be accomplished, it can be done! The great CREATOR of all creation did not create in the conscious mentality of humanity nor in their subconsciousness, an idea nor the slightest imagination that HE could not fulfill. How glorious it is to know you have not been imagining vain things as said the Psalmic prediction concerning this mystery.
'Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?'
But you have vice-versalated such a version by this great conversion. Now you
are imagining things that are not vain but they are constructive, positive and
true. If the thing and the things that were imagined could be brought into outer
expression and made a living reality, that were vain and undesirable -- how about
the desirable, the positive, as well as the negative? We shall think constructively
and scientifically, intelligently and truthfully until the positive shall fill
all of the world of thinking and their fondest imagination in the positive direction
shall be a living reality and all shall realize it, for I shall make it practical.
We are causing that which you sang about in the divers churches, especially in Christendom, to be a reality.
'We are sitting at the Welcome Table.'
You have sung it and you have heard it, about sitting at the Welcome Table and
feasting at the Welcome Table. I AM the Tangibilator of such an imagination and
the Fulfiller of such a desire and such a version of Heaven, that mankind might
enjoy GOD'S Actual Presence while on earth they are tabernacling. Aren't you
glad?
Now you have heard where Solomon said,
'And HE led me up to the banqueting house and His banner over me is LOVE.'
The prediction of the preacher is fulfilled, for you can see all over this wide
extended plane the banqueting tables and the banqueting houses are established
in My Name in the fulfillment of that which you used to sing and that of which
others are now singing. Aren't you glad? And Jesus said something very important;
but even before Jesus said this as a person, David in his prediction, he spoke
of it. In the Psalmic prediction of David, you find David declared -- although
speaking of himself individually apparently, it was a prediction of this dispensation,
for that which was wrought in him mentally and spiritually was to be fulfilled
materially and physically as I have fulfilled it. David said:
'The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want. HE leadeth me beside the still water; HE restoreth my soul.'
He was speaking of you, every one of you who are true, even though David may
not have known as you do, that was actually speaking of you.
'HE restoreth my soul.'
And in his Psalmic prediction there he said,
'Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,'
(He was speaking of you)
'all the days of my life and I shall abide in the House of the LORD forever!'
I Find Someone Sticking Around Here! Can you not see the mystery? Can you not see the fulfillment of the Truth by the Stickers, those who are sticking around here?
'I shall abide in the House of the LORD forever.'
Why? Because GOD is your Shepherd! Aren't you glad? Not only so, but,
'His Rod and His Staff they comfort me.'
Are you not comforted? Did not Jesus say,
'The Comforter -- when HE, the Spirit of Truth, has come, HE shall teach you all things?'
Can you not see and can you not sing again:
'The Comforter has come to abide?
The Comforter has truly come and truly you can say he was speaking of ME, for
--
'I shall abide in the House of the LORD forever.'
Even though David may not have known it definitely, but I know he was speaking
of ME Personally! Aren't you glad? Then on another occasion in speaking of this
Table of which we are now stressing in the actuated words of expression he said,
'HE prepares a table for me in the presence of my enemies.'
Can you not see the Table is spread and the hungry fed? Those who have hungered
and thirsted after Righteousness are fed bountifully, and they are supplied abundantly
with the limitless blessings of food, of comfort, of raiment and such as may
be necessary for their sustenance. Aren't you glad?
Then I say, build upon this Foundation and observe the mystery of the predictions of the Scripture, the Gospel and Epistles and even the revelationic predictions of John. When on the Isle of Patmos, he observed the mysteries. Although being a revelator, he was a predictor. Can you not see the mystery?
Things that were spoken of by John and by others, even as I said, the Psalmic prediction of David -- David was a predictor as well as others. Through the prophetic age he spoke things through his Psalmic predictions that are now being fulfilled in this dispensation. Solomon in his "Song-ic" and Ecclesiastic predictions spoke things that were to be fulfilled, the same as the other prophets in the prophetic age, although he may not have been called a prophet in those days nor in this dispensation. But with the right concept and the recognition of the Truth and the interpretation of life's existence and the unfoldment of the mystery, you all can see distinctly when he explained it, that the prophets, the patriarchs, the sages and the seers and even Jesus and the apostles and the epistles, the Gospel and the revelations -- they were all predictors and prophesied things to come, the same as the prophets did in those days.
One writer said,
'The law and the prophets prophesied until John.'
Even the law prophesied of this of which we are enjoying. Can you not see the
mystery?
'If you love ME and keep My Commandments,
I will bless your going out and I will bless your coming in,
I will bless you in your storehouses and in your baskets.
I will bless you in whatsoever you do,
And whatsoever you do, it shall prosper." "IF you love ME and keep MY Commandments!'
This is the prediction of GOD in the law as well as in the prophecy. Can you
not see we are the fulfillers and the enjoyers as the recipients of that of which
had been actually predicted and bequeathed to be upon you. Aren't you glad? We
are enjoying the actual fulfillment of the Scripture, the law and the prophecies,
the Gospel and the Epistles and the prophecies of Jesus and the Apostles and
all of the prophecies made in the revelationic predictions as given in Revelation
to John on the Isle of Patmos. We are the fulfillers of such predictions and
we are actually enjoying fulfilling them. That is what it is all about!
Now, congregations ne'er break up here, Sabbath has no end here, for GOD IS RIGHT HERE! Aren't you glad? As this is recognized, reckoned and considered generally, GOD will establish it scientifically and accurately, yea, even politically, and all will realize it; for that which has been visioned shall be made a living reality; for you cannot have an imagination that cannot be fulfilled distinctly and plainly.
Let us continue to look out in the positive direction. Be optimistic in the way of things that pertain to life and life's existence. Know within yourself, in the future, as I have declared to you, things shall be better, for
'The path of the just glows brighter and brighter until the perfect day.'
The Light shines brighter every day! Then I say, continue to visualize the positive
instead of the negative! Stress the good instead of the evil in your consideration
and live it and express it continually in your consciousness until it actually
materializes for you, and all shall eventually universally realize the Goodness
of GOD for you. GOD'S Goodness is not only for you, but it is for others! Things
that work apparently at times antagonistically and conflictingly, the Apostle
caught the glimpse of the mystery and declared --
'All things work together for good to them that love the LORD and are called according to His Purpose.'
Now aren't you glad? Then with the Apostle you would be able to say,
'I glory in tribulations, knowing this, that tribulations worketh patience, and patience experience, and experience hope, and hope maketh not ashamed.'
For this cause
'I AM not ashamed of the Gospel of CHRIST, for it is the power of GOD unto salvation to everyone that believeth.'
And it happens to be, when he said, "whosoever," it included ME. I
thank you! I thank you! I thank you!
