Sowing the seeds of Righteous Government
It was after the reading of a very significant letter written twenty-three years ago, to the Press, by a noted author, lecturer and teacher, Eugene Del Mar, a letter of introduction to FATHER, His work and His Mission, which is very pronounced, FATHER arose to further convey to one and all, as well as to the universe at large, how His Spirit is accomplishing that for which HE came, how it has entered all fields of life and is causing Righteousness to have full sway in city, state and federal government;; and is putting to flight all unrighteousness to the extent that everyone can see it is steadily on the wane. For it Scripturally declares:
'In the day of My Power, My people shall be willing.'
And again it is written:
'His purposes are ripening fast, unfolding every hour; the bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower.'
For thy precious words of Spirit and Life, Almighty GOD, we humbly thank thee! (The foregoing words are those of the transcriber, and the following is FATHER'S profound sermon, with FATHER speaking as follows:)
PEACE, EVERYONE! At this instant I have arisen to say, it is good to be here. While listening to the reading of the different Messages I may deem them to be I thought how marvelous it is to know that GOD is the Same today, yesterday and throughout all eternity! How marvelous it is to gather in such an audience as this by the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose as I have emphasized the significance of it to all government locally and universally. By the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose you will be able to overcome all difficulties, all oppositions and all warfare and bloodshed and all undesirable conditions, by the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind of Aim and of Purpose.
To our visiting guests and friends I would like to say, these and those compositions of thanksgiving and praise you have heard, songs that could be considered as patriotic and many of which could be considered as inspirational songs by the Spirit of the Presence of GOD within, they are bespeaking our religious convictions and portraying that for which we stand. If you ;note some of them were telling you of Democracy: "We Are Real, True Americans."
To be truly converted into Americanism, After having been born into Americanism, it is a great thing, for the very conversion in itself is an expression of an internal spiritual awakening, and awakened into the Truth of True Americanism by the Spirit of GOD'S Actual Presence in which you are living. It is marvelous to realize, those compositions of patriotism, they are as afore said, telling you of what we are doing. One thought great to be remembered in one of the compositions, told you about Americanism and how it is in government. The teaching of Americanism, Democracy, Brotherhood, Christianity, Judaism and true Buddhism as synonymous, bringing all of the true and devout religions into ONE, embracing that which is Democracy, giving us the same chance to speak and to act.
For this cause we rejoice and we are exceeding glad to have our visiting guests with us today. There are others of whom may not have made themselves known, as this is a matter of course with us. And just as one of the compositions says, "This is the Country Seat" and all nations shall flow into it. I can see them coming. I can see them entering into these audiences and enjoying the blessings of such a conviction that will solve your every problem, that will purge you of all dross of graft and greed and sin of every kind!
Just then I thought of someone saying a follower, some follower of Mine, was working at a place and when they left, the message came to ME this morning said when they left, they had some books misplaced. I said, they were not followers of Mine! I have declared, followers of Mine would not even accept of a brass pin as a gift, much less than that of taking anything that does not belong to them! Such a spiritual and mental sanitation! I have purged you from all such as that! Even our Modest Creed will free you from such if you live it and express it by abstaining from all intoxicating liquors and all self-indulgence! True followers of Mine will not even associate with the opposite sex! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, Almighty GOD!" Came the happy response.)
So then I say, it is a privilege to observe the Truth materialized, incarnated and personified, so that the Truth has become to be living epistles as written in the Scripture:
'Ye are living epistles seen and read by men.'
I would like to say at this instance, we have some place cards. Maybe our visiting guests might like to take one along with them, and if it is anyone else down the line there that hasn't had one...(FATHER passes some of the famous "International Peace" place cards to the visiting guests and continues speaking as follows:) This is a parable in itself. Over our Heads you see the Liberty Bell. On either side of us you see the United States Flag the flag of the Free! Aren't you glad! ('Oh, so glad, LORD!' Came the cry from the true and the faithful.) And beneath us you see the capitol of the United States as a Foundation and as a Protection by which we are protected and upon which we are legally founded. Aren't you glad! ('Yes, GOD Almighty!' responded the multitude.) And when I say WE I AM speaking of My Spotless Virgin Bride; I mean the Virgin that sits here by My side: One of Whom is Pure and Spotless today as it is and as SHE was; I mean, as the Life that SHE exemplifies was Pure and Spotless when SHE first stood by My side and SHE is the same Today!
It is marvelous to behold the Picture as portrayed or as described. You can see the Virginity and Virtue of Purity and Holiness exemplified in the very countenance of My Spotless Virgin Bride, and you have heard and read of the Honesty, Competence and Truth that I AM exemplifying! The thing you vividly visualize, you tend to materialize! Not the personages, but the characteristics and the character and the nature of the personages personified and you will produce in your lives a life of Purity incorruptible and undefiled!
Take the little place card along with you if you wish to and vision what I have said concerning the Picture. Do not emphasize the fact that the personages are the real thing! But emphasize the fact that the Virtue and the Holiness, the characteristics and the nature and the life of which has been personified can be realized by all mankind!
What a privilege! What a privilege! I would like to say to our honored guest, this is a matter of course with us. Every day and every hour almost through the day, this is going on just as you see it here now! That is why I did not feel urged necessarily to rush the conclusion of this setting, for we have been serving here all day from seven o'clock in the morning until now and will be serving, no doubt, until twelve or two tonight. Just as you heard read the letter from Mr. Del Mar, it was in nineteen thirty-one, about twenty-three years ago. That is what he declared, to the press and others, I was doing at that time. Aren't you glad! ("So glad, Almighty GOD! sanctioned the multitude). The press sent him out as they did many other men noteworthy, to investigate to ascertain what was it all about; and he investigated and this is the report of his findings and he sent the message to the press at that time; but of course, they did not care apparently, to publicize it. He also sent ME a copy. So it is a wonderful thing. Will soon be twenty-three years ago. Nineteen thirty-one! This is nineteen fifty-four! So it is a wonderful, wonderful privilege to live in such a recognition and to build upon such a foundation as this one.
You may consider this little Supplement is as an introduction of ME to you. And if it is anything else necessary to be obtained from since that time, the last twenty-three years and more but just think from that time, as he said, how I, at that time was feeding from four hundred to eight hundred persons in a small private home. Since then we are feeding untold thousands! And if they will let ME and be worthy of the blessing I AM freely giving, they will be able to observe and enjoy the untold millions of blessings that are in storehouse for them. I thank you.
Before I conclude this setting, if any of our visiting guests desire to have a word to say, we would be very happy to hear from them. As I said, this to us is the Kingdom of GOD! Socially it is the Hall of Democracy where all men have the same privilege and right of their franchise to speak and to act. As you heard ME say a little while ago by composition, "Uncle Sam got converted!" Uncle Sam got converted and started paying his old back bills! You know, he never did pay the Indians all of those millions until I had allowed My followers to pay all their just debts and had allowed it to be publicized! Uncle Sam found out he had a right to pay all the Indians that which was taken from them!
By composition I AM also calling for retroactive compensation for all of the African slaves and their descendants and for all just compensation whereby they have been compensated unjustly! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, GOD, so glad!" shouted the masses.) It may not be seen or observed so vividly just now, but it will be; and it is not only the African slaves, but all other under-privileged people of whom have been deprived of just compensation! Just as I said in My Letter in reference to why My followers do not accept or take gifts and tips. They do not have to take them now! I have raised the standard of living, in the midst of the people, where no man has any occasion whatsoever to go around begging, to go around soliciting! They do not have an occasion to do that, and they do not have an occasion to seek gifts, tips or presents or anything of that sort! Therefore, I have gotten this over into local government! I have gotten this over into the state government and into the federal government! But all of the states of the Union, they are taking cognizance of how men have been bribed by receiving gifts and presents unjustly due them! The executives and higher-up employees and others have received gifts and tips and presents that were unjustly due them, but as was in the days of Jesus of nineteen hundred years ago:
'He entered in and the door was shut!'
I have got into government and they are making these suggestions and proposals a reality, instituting them in government as a sample and as an example of good government for others! Aren't you glad! ("Yes, GOD Almighty! came the eager response.)
What a privilege to live in a world where there is no graft and no greed and no snatching and no taking of gifts and presents and no trying to get something out of your fellow brother's pocket! Aren't you glad! ("So glad! shouted the masses.) We shall have a righteous government that shall go from shore to shore and from land to land! I thank you.
