A Portion of the Portal of Life Eternal of The Shrine to Life
To those who desire perfect health, to those who desire to have joy, happiness and abundance that is in the storehouse of GOD'S Love for everyone, here in this beautiful message given by our LORD FATHER DIVINE is the answer:
'A merry heart doeth good, for it is a medicine.'
(The foregoing statement is that of the transcriber, and FATHER'S Words follow:)
PEACE EVERYONE! Good Health, Good Will and a Good Appetite, and the Beauty of GOD reflected and manifested in you tonight. When this is established in your conscious conviction and your recognition, such a conviction or belief established will adjust matters satisfactorily automatically --aren't you glad? -- just because you think beautiful thoughts. Then I say, think on, beautiful thinkers! And by thinking beautiful thoughts, in harmony with the inspirational composition as it illustrates it, the very thoughts you think cause your heart to be filled with enthusiasm and merriness in the fullest measure. A merry heart doeth good, for it is a medicine. Solomon caught a glimpse of the mystery, and said,
'A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.'
Since a closer analyzation of the merriness of the heart, and a closer diagnosis
of the hearts that have been made sorry, we find that a merry heart is a medicine
-- it is a good medicine; but a broken spirit dries the bones. With this merriness
I have established in you, from all of your ailments and complaints you are healed.
And when you serve the LORD with gladness and enter His Presence with thanksgiving and praise and keep it up, everything will be all right. That is the beauty of observing the mystery as the Spirit by inspiration depicts it; for it depicts it explicitly, because it is a prediction and yet a declaration of exactly what you are here and now experiencing. Aren't you glad?
When I smile, I smile in your hearts. Those who believe it and sincerely concentrate in that direction -- the very smiles of GOD transmitted will be in you reincarnated; for GOD impregnates you with it. That is the way you can get it. Aren't you glad? Merriness transmitted and the smiles and the love of GOD through these smiles and expressions fill you with joy, with peace and happiness, and all enthusiasm, and your heart is made super merry, and it doeth good, for it is a medicine that will heal every ill as a real supernatural and Infinite Panacea. I thank you!
I did not arise to speak at this instance, for I AM speaking in your hearts and minds by inspiration. It is more explicit and more and more direct; more directed to the heart of the individual when I speak in your hearts and minds by inspiration, for in you CHRIST is awakened. Can you not see the mystery? Then you can say in reality with the original composition,
'I know that HE has risen, for HE has risen in my soul.'
You feel it then, when you think in harmony with ME, and concentrate on ME, and
let My Spirit in you depict it as I explain it. CHRIST is awakened in you and
you are no longer ignorant of the resurrection of the CHRIST, but you know He
has risen in your life; made you a new creature; and when He smiles He smiles
in your hearts. When He walks, it is so pleasing to you, He dances in your hearts.
It causes your heart to rejoice supernaturally. I do not mean just an ordinary
beat, as the heart beats, but it causes you to rejoice, and your heart to rejoice
supernaturally, abnormally. If you get a physical examination, a diagnosis of
your heart beat, you will find by the physical M.D. physician he can tell you
definitely, your heart is beating differently. A merry heart doeth good like
a medicine, and when I awaken the CHRIST within, it gives you that supernatural
beat, an unordinary beat of the heart; the heart beats different; it is filled
with enthusiasm, with joy and happiness, and you are expressing in your outer
appearance that which has been reflected from the heart, through the system,
and you look better; you feel better; you think better; and you are better; for
you live better; you have more faith; and everything is all right.
Take these thoughts to consideration and realize this is not an ordinary, human, mortal love affair transmitted; but it is DIVINE Wisdom, awakening the CHRIST within the hearts and lives of the children of men and giving them this new birth of freedom that no man can give them. Aren't you glad?
Then it is beautiful; it causes you to be loving, causes you to be kind; causes you to be true and faithful wheresoever you are; and matters not where you may go, GOD is with you there and then, right down here below. Aren't you glad? You have no fear. It casts out fear, it casts out doubts, takes away your cares, and gives you peace and contentment where you were once disturbed and perturbed, and it makes you a new creature in reality, for you shall have put off the old man with all of his deeds and by this you will put on the new man, CHRIST JESUS, in whom you should live. Take these thoughts to consideration.
Now I did not arise to talk at the instant. I arose, but I rose especially to say we have visiting guests in our midst, and visiting friends in the audience. We want them to feel free to speak, even as we do; for in a Democracy such as this one, if you desire to speak and move volitionally, the Spirit will speak with you and will lift you if you have never spoken before. You will be backed up by the Presence of the Spirit, and the Spirit will give you energy and courage and cause you move volitionally, and naught will be able to hinder you. I thank you.
