"It is just a glorious privilege to see this wonderful Kingdom, and as I say in that little talk, it is recorded in the hook, it is so fascinating the whole world has gone after it. You can see, Dear Ones, that it is wonderful! You never felt such a love before. You can taste and see that the LORD is Good. But because we see doubts and fears yea, and see wants and see cares also, this mighty Love it dries up your tears. You do not think about depressions when this Spirit is uppermostly in your consciousness. You are not thinking about how and what will become of you. You are not expecting to spend your last dollar and then what will become of you. You know that GOD takes care of you.
MOTHER DIVINE speaking with
Professor Leonard Primiano, Sayville
In this Truth you come to that place or this place where you can be happy without one penny, or at least not take thought to have one for tomorrow. But yet, in MY Spirit and MY Mind you are willing to be of practical service to GOD and to man and you will throw yourselves out in a practical useful way of service to GOD and to man That is MY Spirit and MY Mind. Not that I would sit on the stool-of-do-nothing from a Personal standpoint of view, MY Personal activities are expressed by MY mentality by the expression of the condition of the mind within. We tend to reflect and reproduce in others the condition of the mind that we are functioning in. So that is the great thought. But you have the hope of earth and the joy of Heaven. You have the hope of earth right here and now, and then you have the joy of Heaven, and you can and you actually do enjoy the presence of the Spirit of the Consciousness of GOD here and now. It is Wonderful!
Take these thoughts in, Dear Ones, and again I say and I have even said, to repeat it for the benefit of those of you that may not know that I do not have to speak the Word outwardly, I do say this, as within these souls I said it, I do say that I appreciate the spirit of hospitality being extended by both the host and hostess. I do know that it is MY Spirit being reflected and will be again produced and reproduced in others as well as in these. They are samples and examples of the FATHER When humanity realizes that they are blessed by that sample, others will take the example. This Truth is not confined to person or persons, it is reflected here and there and everywhere, for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. All can be abundantly blessed, even also as I AM, for there is a full and a plenty for all. It is Wonderful! I thank you.
That which is called the rich and the poor, the highest and the lowest, GOD has brought you all together and will manifest it to the world. It does not yet appear, don't you see, but in reality GOD has brought you all together and placed you on a place where there is therefore now no condemnation, criticisms, etc., for there is nothing to criticize. It is something like some wish to go out Home to Sayville and have come out there and say, 'I didn't come to criticize,' and I would say, Well, what is it to criticize? because I know I have just what everybody wants. And especially think about the last time in the time that they call depression, there was an abundance and to spare, the same as it is here tonight, and it is the same wheresoever I AM. Hundreds can be fed and to spare after all are fed and clothed.
Then how can one be ashamed of this Gospel? How can one dread or fear, or find fault as though they might criticize when they know it makes man, instead of breaking him. It is Wonderful! It qualifies a person instead of making them or causing them to be deficient. It fixes you up so that you can meet any and every emergency, mentally, spiritually and otherwise. All you need do is to deny yourselves of those qualities of expression, and they will be subject to you as you have been subject to them.
Now I will not hold you any longer, I feel that there are others here that would like to eat, and others that would like to talk, maybe. Some of you would never get tired, apparently, anyway. However, I have said enough for your consideration at this particular juncture, and we will go forward and give space and time for someone else to exercise themselves in the way that the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD permits. It is Wonderful
It is according to your faith, so be unto you. It is true that there may be thoughts, yea, even words of criticism and persecution, etc., but irrespective of the criticisms and unbelief of the world, it is according to your faith, so be it unto you. If you have substantiated faith and unshaken confidence, your faith is what will make you whole, and will bring into actuality your desires fulfilled. It is according to your faith.
As I was saying yesterday, when the man came from the West and he said he stayed here and was supposed to leave last week, but he came to see ME and he stayed until he got the chance to see ME. He has a community center of twenty thousand acres in Florida and he is the founder and head of it, and they sent him to find ME, and he said that he wanted to do just whatsoever I said do, and wanted ME to take charge of it. And even they have money there and banks in the Name of GOD. I should have gotten a piece of his money as it is in the Name of GOD, and that is a means of exchange in that world - a world within a world, a government within a government - but the same money can be exchanged for the government money or the United States money. They have banks there and it is the same value according to the value of the American dollar.
It is wonderful to see how they are coming believing and receiving, and it is according to the faith. As he said that he saw in the Spirit years ago, that the LORD told him when he saw the One that was to come, a great change would take place in his life, and a great change had taken place after he contacted ME. It was and is the Spirit, and it has always been with him, but it is according to his faith concerning ME that it has been brought into expression for the present consideration of those that have not developed and overcome the world entirely.
So it is a wonderful thought, and thousands of people are the same as he, that is the great expression, begging, just begging ME, in a way of speaking, to come to them They would send for the whole band if I would say so. And they have schools in this community, and everything. When it first began, while it was small he had charge of the school. He was the school teacher himself, but it got so big he had to get others. But of course, he is the founder. And he says it is just what he was looking for, and Mrs. Burnell sent him here. He showed ME the letter as she wrote it and directed him to go to Dr. Grier and through Dr. Grier he would be able to find ME. It is Wonderful!
'One Lord, one faith, and one baptism.'
But yet I say, he did not have to come here to find ME if he only would look carefully. If he would have looked carefully where he was he would have found ME.
The question was here asked, Well, isn't that the reason that he did see YOU manifested? He worshiped YOU in Spirit, and what we worship is brought into expression for us?
FATHER replied: Well, it is true, but you are not supposed to worship the manifestation, you are supposed to worship the Manifestor. You are not supposed to worship the duplicate, you are supposed to worship the Duplicator. You are not supposed to worship the blessing, you are supposed to worship the Blesser. You are not supposed to worship the gift, you are supposed to worship the Giver.
Question: Well, aren't they the same thing, the blessing and the Blesser, and can you separate them?
Answer:The duplicate is that which was made by the Duplicator or by the application of the Duplicator. So it is Wonderful Now he could have found himself wheresoever he was if he would have made the rightful contact, for I AM here and I AM there and I AM everywhere. So just attune yourselves to this great Principle, the CHRIST Consciousness, and then it will be produced, the identical expression of the Expresser and the identical image and likeness of the Creator, for GOD formed man in HIS own image and likeness, in HIS own image and likeness created HE him, male and female.
Question: Well, didn't he say, FATHER, that after he shook YOUR hand the pains all left him?
Answer: Well, that is to appease the mortal concept of the human mind, but when one has risen above materialism and mortality, and the mortal versions of things and reveled into the glorious liberty of the sons of GOD, they will know that they will be free from any necessity, any need, to make any personal or material or physical contact. It is Wonderful!
Remark by visitor: Nevertheless, I feel it a great blessing to be here today, for the friends that are with me, and myself.
Answer: Well, I AM glad to be a blessing to one and to all, but as I say, when one really knows ME as I AM, then they will see the light of Truth and know that it is the Impersonal and ready for expression at any time, being Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. It is sufficient to reach every condition and reach you wheresoever you are, and then it is wonderful. The Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good, no space is vacant of the fullness thereof. It is Wonderful!
It is wonderful to know that it is Wonderful. Then to you it is Wonderful! So you get a double portion of Wonderful!
You all know that I could walk from here to Sayville if I wanted to, and I could ride if I wanted to. If I wanted to ride I think I would have enough money to buy a ticket to go by rail. And I can go there by private car if I want to. Just because I choose to walk does not say that I cannot afford to go by rail. That is to show you that in the intellectual world, if I choose to walk, if I choose to hike, intellectually, I can do so. If I choose to ride on an airplane intellectually and mentally, I can do so. If I choose to ride by rail intellectually and mentally, I can do so. As it is with ME, so it is with all of GOD's children. It is Wonderful! I set before you an open door so that you may not see any limitation and no lack in the world in which you live.
So take these thoughts in, Dear Ones, so that you may see what GOD is in reality to you. GOD is rich and all you need, mentally, spiritually, financially, socially and everything you need. GOD is rich and all you need, for there is aplenty in GOD'S abundance for one and for all.
Claim your rights and press your claim and you can do and be the same, even also as I AM. For GOD is no respecter of person, neither has respect unto persons. Take these thoughts in, Dear Ones, and you can be abundantly blessed and freed from all bounds, barriers, lacks, wants and limitations, for JESUS CHRIST, the great Love Master, said,
'My peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled... ye believe in God, believe also in me.'
Let not your hearts be troubled, for GOD is within you and is your help in every need. It is Wonderful.
At a banquet in Montclair, New Jersey, held before a public meeting, FATHER spoke as follows:
You know, at the day, even before the day of Pentecost, Christ said to all of the Disciples,
'Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature,'
and they wouldn't do it, and so GOD sent the Holy Ghost down on them and made them make a whole lot of noise and shout, and the people thought they were drunken and persecutions arose, and it drove them out into all of the countries around. So they were having too good a time right around there and they wouldn't go out when HE told them to do it. So you see, the Holy Ghost came down on them and made them leap so much and make so much noise that they drove them out to where I told them to go. I was just thinking about the expression of the Kingdom coming all the way across the Hudson*, and it will not stop until the expression of the Kingdom, and no doubt, the Expresser of the Kingdom, not only the expression, but the Expresser, and not only the duplicate, but the Duplicator, will be all across the ocean.
At the banquet mentioned above, FATHER also said:
David said,
'He prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.'
He saw this Table, both the material and spiritual Table. He saw just what has been prepared and is being prepared for the souls of the children of men, both mentally, spiritually and materially for the physical body as well as for the spirit and the mind, known as the soul. David saw the Table prepared, and as he was a man of war, he saw it as though it was in the presence of physical or personal enemies because he was a man of war, and all warriors have their opponents and their opponents are known as their enemies. So, therefore, David thought that they were enemies from a physical standpoint of view and he beheld and he thought that those that stood around this Table, and those that still stand and still appear about this Table throughout the universe, he thought that they were enemies in the Presence in which this Table is set. But it is Wonderful!
If, as David saw it to be in the presence of his enemies, Solomon, as he was a peaceful king and advocated a peaceful reign, which was a typical figure of the Kingdom of GOD, he saw this Kingdom and he saw this Table and he saw the house and the houses a n d buildings, for he said,
'He led me up to the banqueting house of the LORD, and the banner over us is love.'
Every man sees the thing according to his own understanding. David saw it as a man of war, for he was an enemy of someone, and through the eyes he looked, the table that was spread for the children of GOD was surrounded by enemies. But Solomon, being a man of peace and a great man of love, he saw that he was led up to the banqueting house, and the banner over us is love. It is Wonderful!
Jesus saw it as a man that had prepared a great supper, the Kingdom of GOD, and at suppertime he sent out and called them to come in. He didn't see any enemies there, but he saw the tired and the weary and he invited them to come in. For Jesus was a man, as you might term Him to be, and He saw the abundance, even in thoughts yet unrevealed, the Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good, no space is vacant of the fullness thereof. So, therefore, it was so much on the table they did not have any place vacant from food, and He said the good master sent out and commanded them to come in that were bidden, and they began to make excuses. One said, I have bought a yoke of oxen and I must go and prove them. One said, I have bought a house and lot and I can't go, and one said, I have married a wife and therefore I can't go, I just can't go. And they began to make excuses.
So it goes to show you the difficulties that exist in the mortal world that prohibit men from coming to the Kingdom of Heaven and to the Throne of Grace. But the lord said not one of those men should partake of his supper, and he commanded his servants to go out into the courts and the lanes and compel those that were standing out there in the lanes, those that were standing on the corners and idling their time away, to come in that his house might be filled. And still there were not enough, and they went out and got the crippled and the lame and the diseased, etc., and still there were not enough. And he sent his servants out into the hedges and the highways and compelled them to come in, compelled the rulers and the kings and the professionals and the lawyers and the higher-ups. Not only the higher-ups but the highest even.
He went out and compelled them to come in that the table might be filled. For the abundance of the fullness of the consciousness of good, on the table, no space was vacant of the fullness thereof, and it was a full and a plenty for all.
So each one saw this Table that we are sitting around today. They saw it after the similitude of their own understanding, and we, in this day, have brought it into materialization and are manifesting it to the world. Wheresoever I go, I have the Kingdom right with ME, here and now, with all of the abundance of the fullness of the consciousness of good manifested unto the world.
So, this is that which they saw. Each one saw it according to their several beliefs. Those who were men of war saw it among enemies, but Solomon, as a man of peace, saw that the banner over us is love. And Jesus saw it as going out and getting the crippled and the blind and the lame and going into the hedges and the highways, going into the highest positions of life and getting them to come in that they might partake of this great supper that is prepared for them from the foundation of the world.
And that is what I AM doing now. I AM bringing them from the mountain top, I AM bringing them from the highest peaks of the mountain, yea, I AM bringing them from the highest realms of the understanding of mankind, and they recognize the Presence of GOD, here and now, in this Divine Omnipresent Life in which we all live and move and have our being, and in this Divine Love and Life which lives and moves and has its being in you and in all. It is Wonderful! So that is what all of this is about.
Now, whatsoever I do, and wheresoever I go, I have the Kingdom of GOD with ME and I AM with MY Kingdom wheresoever I go, and I AM the expression and the Expresser, I AM the demonstration and the Demonstrator, I AM the duplicate and the Duplicator. I bring the reality of the imagination into the conscious realization of the children of men. We all enjoy this great Kingdom and we will universalize this great feast and also this great universal and infinite revival, the revival of souls.
I happened to see a little clipping where some Dr. Hayes, or someone, said that the time has come that the spiritual light would be no more called unintelligent This great spiritual revival, they must see and know that GOD is all intelligence and that GOD is qualified to meet every emergency and to supply every need. As I often say, do not think because you see a man walking sometimes that he cannot ride if he wants to. You may see someone mentally or intellectually hiking, but it is not because they cannot ride if they want to, if they know themselves, for CHRIST is rich and all you need. All you must needs do is to make your rightful contact and rightful contact and tune in on these high vibrations of the intellect that come from the Almighty, and HE will instantaneously inspire you with the intellect that comes from the Almighty.
Something like Miss B --- said, I taught her to read in one night, and she didn't know how to write her name. So, if GOD is for you, who can be against you? If you make your mental and spiritual contact, you don't need to care whether you have the keys to Harvard, Princeton, and Yale or not. You will have the keys to the penitentiaries, work houses and jails and the keys to such conditions. After that the Holy Ghost is come unto you, you shall receive power and you will be able to have the keys to open all doors and even to have the keys to Princeton, Harvard, and Yale and you can go in and do as you will, for you will have the access to all of the vocabularies of the world. It is Wonderful!
CHRIST is rich and all you need. Claim your rights and press your claims, and believe it, and you can receive a mental healing the same as you can receive a physical healing. You can receive the healing balm that will cause you to develop to the normal state of consciousness mentally, as well as you can receive the healing balm to cause you to develop to the normal state of expression physically. That is the great significance of the manifestation of this universal and Infinite Spirit.
Just think about what CHRIST can do for you. Though you may have been supposedly handicapped in many ways, mentally, financially, socially and otherwise, CHRIST is rich and all you need and can equip you with the requirements to meet any emergency. It is something to praise GOD for. I don't care if you do not have even a first grade education! Why, what is that? If you never went to school, if you don't know your alphabet, CHRIST in you can teach you all things.
'When he the Spirit of truth, has come, he will teach you all things whatsoever I have said unto you,'
qualify you and equip you with all of the equipments, mentally and spiritually, and even physical words if necessary. Praise GOD from Whom all blessings flow. Praise HIM all creatures here below, and you will see, even also as I do, that the Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good, no space is vacant of the fullness thereof.
You know you get filled with so much enthusiasm you hardly know what to think or do or say, but you just let GOD think in you and you will just be still and know that all of that something in you is GOD and then HE will speak and act as HE pleases.
********
I AM just as much a Japanese as I AM a Chinese, and I AM just as much a Chinese as I AM an American, and I AM just as much an American as I AM a Jew and I AM just as much a Jew as I AM a N-. It is Wonderful! That is why they all must come to ME. For I AM not advocating matter or mortality, but true spirituality.
'We do not advocate, though in some cases we bring it to pass, 'faith healing,' but we are advocating Divine healing. Now unless she has Divine healing, the trouble may come hack on her. Divine healing, that is what I have always advocated. I have not advocated so much faith healing, although hundreds of people have been healed instantaneously. But it is the understanding of the mind and the development of the understanding, the true Divine method. Just by faith healing you may be healed without the transforming of your mind through a certain contact of your mind. It may make a change, you may be healed, but unless you are following in the Truth, why the healing may not do you so much good, for without the transformation of that old mind, the old mind will bring you into the same condition or worse sometimes.
So it is essential to be transformed by the renewing of the mind. But where they follow ME, don't you see, that is where they can be healed by an expression of faith healing, and that will be all right so long as they follow in the Truth. But if they do not follow into the Truth, why that miraculous healing that takes place instantaneously will not keep them, because the mind will allow them to fall into the pre-expression if they will allow themselves to do so.
Unless you are healed by the mind, as well as healed in the mind, as well as healed in the Spirit, you may have a spiritual healing, or something of that kind, or a physical healing and then that defective mind may affect the body also.
It is Wonderful! Transformed by the renewing of your mind! You see that is why I have so much to do. As their faith and their contact with ME are healing thousands of people, then I must train their minds, transform them by the renewing of their mind, to receive the highest and truest expression of good for them.
When a man dies, it is evidently known that he has not lived up to the Word in every way. There is some way in which he has not fulfilled the Word. For it says,
'He that abideth in my word shall not taste of death.'
It is just like an insurance policy. There are some clauses they have not stopped to read. When they stop to consider it so often, they find that it is something that they do not or would not approve of. You see the many points of view about the ways of CHRIST have but caused mankind to mistrust or distrust, so that they will not trust anything to GOD. That is why the way is so narrow and it closes up every other way. As the common saying goes, they burn their bridges behind them, and they cannot go back. You bar yourself out of any other way but the one way, and that is a confidential faith in GOD.
The following talk was given in Unity Baptist Church in Brooklyn, Wednesday, May 18, at the afternoon session of an all day meeting. The subject came up through a testimony in which It was said that the person was having a good deal of trouble with relatives, so-called, and in which a letter was read ~ which they said a good deal against FATHER DIVINE's Teachings.
It is Wonderful! One in all and all in One. It is Wonderful! We rejoice to see the many happy faces and hear the many demonstrations and to feel this mighty Love that transcends gravitation. And this Love that blesses you and frees you from all limitations and lacks and wants. It is just a pleasure to see you when you are coming up. I recall singing a song many years ago, 'I see Mine, I see Mine, I see Mine a-coming. I see Mine coming through tribulation, I see Mine. Sing it to your loving SAVIOR, I see Mine, I see Mine.'
Now that was a thought that was passed at that time. It is well worth considering at this particular juncture. When you know that you are coming up through great tribulation and have washed your robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, it is a glorious privilege, and if you have seeming trials and tribulations, that should encourage you and let you know that you are on the right road. We do not care what the people think, nor what they say, we know that the thing we have is the thing that every-one else desires.
But I want to tell you coming up in this life, it is essential for you to cast out of your system all mortality. I say cast out of you all bigotry, all prejudice, all resentment, all anger, all malice and all strife, all covetousness, all deceit. Now how will you get that out of you? You will get it out of your system by casting it out of your consciousness. And how cometh it in your system? It cometh in your system by holding it in your consciousness that maintains that
Now if you want to go crazy, you hold a crazy person uppermostly in your consciousness. It is Wonderful! You need not to say that, 'I have no bigotry or prejudice,' if you hold anyone in your consciousness that has that in them. You cast that out of your consciousness by casting them out of your consciousness. I continue to say to live Evangelically, and continue to say to live exactly according to the Life and the Teachings of Christ. And Christ makes it plain to you and unto all mankind, that it is a matter of impossibility to serve GOD and mammon. It is a matter of impossibility to serve GOD and mammon.
Therefore, it is a matter of impossibility, the same point of view, to serve GOD and serve flesh. That is why I said, 'Except ye forsake your father and mother, brothers and sisters, wives and children, houses and lands, and all that ye have, ye cannot be my disciple.' It is Wonderful!
'The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and they are contrary, the one to the other:'
and if you try to hold any relative or kin in your system, you cannot hold ME there. For in you it will be a great warfare and it has been declared that the kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. It is Wonderful! You hold someone in your consciousness that opposes ME and you hold ME in your consciousness that opposes someone else, and there will be a warfare in your kingdom. And if there be a warfare there, then that kingdom will fall. That is what is the matter with so many being embarrassed or supposedly gone insane and all such as that. Certainly, you will go insane if you don't cast every d - v -l out of you. It is Wonderful!
Throw the d - v - l out of you, all of the d - v - ls that were in the woman, all of the d - v - Is that were in the man, were some idea or some opinion that they held in them. Cast the d - v -ls out of you because you cannot serve two masters. It is Wonderful! I don't care what they may be. If they pretend to be friendly they are your enemies. GOD has declared that they are your enemies. The worst enemies you have are they of your own household. Cast the d-v-ls out of you if you want to be happy, if you want to be free, if you want to be successful, if you want to be prosperous, if you want to walk and talk with GOD. Cast the d - v - ls out of you. You cannot serve two masters. It is a hard saying, but yet it is true, what I AM talking about. I don't care what I AM talking about, I mean, I don't care what anyone thinks about what I say. I don't care if I don't have anyone to walk with ME. I have been treading the wine press all alone and I can continue. It is Wonderful! You have got to cast the d - v - ls out of you. Now that is what makes some of you go into hysterics and all such as that, having all kinds of d-v-ls in you. Some of you have d-v-lish lust in you, some of you have denomination, which is abomination, some of you have race and creed and color. Cast them out of you.
'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.'
You cannot serve two masters, so be honest with yourself. Be all of GOD or all of man; all of the Spirit or all of the flesh. For this is a separating time. GOD is separating the wheat from the tares. GOD is gathering the good wheat in the garner and the chaff HE is burning up with unquenchable fire. It is Wonderful! Cast out every adverse idea and opinion of the mortal mind. Cast them out of your consciousness and you will have them out of your system. There are so many of you say to yourselves, 'I know that my son or my daughter is a real d- v-l.' If you say she is a real d-v-l then she is in you. Then I pour MY Spirit out upon you, for
'God shall pour out his Spirit upon all flesh.'
and the d - v - l rises up in you, that d -v - l that is your daughter, that d - v -l that is your son, that d - v - 1 that is your daughter, rises up in you. And that d - v - l will kill you too! Cast out every d - v - l from you. Cast them out of you. Cast them out! Cast them out! Because if you don't cast them out they will cast you out. It is Wonderful! Holding them in you, the Spirit resurrects them. It will resurrect all the d - v -ls in you and they will make you go insane, make you commit suicide, and it will not be MY Spirit. MY Holy Spirit will not do anything. MY Holy Spirit is all intelligence, MY Holy Spirit is all understanding, MY Holy Spirit is all wisdom, MY Holy Spirit is all knowledge, MY Holy Spirit is all love. With all of thy getting, get understanding. That is why the LORD said,
'If ye hear of any man inquiring after me, tell him first to deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.'
You are lucky that some of those d - v -ls haven't risen up in you and caused you to commit suicide. When you were resurrected they were resurrected in you and they try to throw your body into the fire. Just like the d - v - ls in the man that was cutting himself to pieces in the tombs. Those d - v - ls were resurrected in you, and they will act just like GOD, dressed up in sheep's clothing but inside they are ravening wolves. It is Wonderful!
Cast the d-v-l out of you. In my name ye shall cast out d-v-ls; and you can cast the d - v - Is out of you in MY Name. Cast old father out of you! Cast old mother out of you! Cast old sister out of you! Cast old brother out of you! Cast him out! Anything that has sin in it, you had better cast it out of you. Anything that has sin in you, I say, you had better cast it out of your consciousness. I don't care if it is a little baby six months old, you had better cast it out of you. That sin will be quickened in you and that d - v - l will be resurrected in you and if he cannot get you to turn back and stop following GOD, he will cause you to commit suicide, cause you to go insane. That is what he will do.
It will have you come in here and it will act just like GOD so you will think it is the Holy Ghost. He acts just like the Holy Ghost. That is why you have to be careful when you entertain Angels unawares. And every sin a man doeth it shall be forgiven him, except sin against the Holy Ghost. Now because I say that, you had better be careful that you don't call the Holy Ghost the d - v - I. You had better be watchful, because they both act alike. It is Wonderful! The Holy Ghost will be in you and make you act just like the d-v-l, and the d-v-l will be in you and make you act just like the Holy Ghost. The d - v - l will take on the same emotions of the Holy Ghost to make you think, if you believe in the Holy Ghost, that he is the Holy Ghost. But you had better be careful not to call the Holy Ghost the d - v - l if it is the Holy Ghost, for if you speak against the Holy Ghost there is no forgiveness for it.
So cast every d - v - l out of your conscious-ness. Cast every d - v - l out of your conscious-ness! It is Wonderful! Cast every d - v - I out of your consciousness. Every one that has as much sin as a grain of mustard seed cut in four parts, cast it out of you. If that sin hatch out in you it may be a big d-v-l. It may be a little germ of a d - v - l at first, but when it develops and hatches out in you, why it may be a big d - v - l. That is why Christ said,
'Unless a man forsake mother and father, wife and children, houses and lands and all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.'
You did Very well functioning down on the lower planes before the Holy Ghost came to you, you held matter in your conscious-ness and did pretty well. You may hold matter in your consciousness and do pretty well, but you had better not bother around the Resurrection and the Life. Christ said,
'I am the resurrection and the life;'
and if you have any matter or mortality in your consciousness and you be around where the Word of GOD is preached, it may quicken in you. You can get along on the lower planes pretty well, but you had better not come up here with it because everything will be resurrected in you.
GOD will let the wheat and the tares grow together there and will resurrect it too, unless you cast it out. As I said, I came to separate the wheat from the tares, to separate the wheat from the chaff, and I show you how to do it.
'If you hear any man inquiring after me, tell him first to deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow after me,'
and He goes on to tell you what is sin.
'Except ye forsake mother and father, wife and children, houses and lands and all that ye have, ye cannot be my disciple,'
- all that ye have - even your own life.
Now I AM telling you that because I don't want any more to be resurrected with the d - v -l in them. Now if you hold those d - v - Is in you that do not believe in ME, why they will be resurrected when the Holy Ghost comes on you. They will be resurrected with you and they will fight against you, for the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, and you have got to cast every d - v - l out of you. That is a hard saying, but yet it is true, and MY Words will go forth conquering and to conquer with or without a Body. They will go forth! It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! That is why I always say when you come to ME to be healed, I always say, cast it out of your system by casting it out of your consciousness, all bigotry, all prejudice, all malice, all envy, all strife, all jealousy, all hatred, all covetousness, all doubts and fears, and all denominations, races, creeds and colors, for if a race is resurrected in you, you may shake with what you think is the Holy Ghost and it will be that old abominable creed or denomination or race. It is condemning your soul and body before both GOD and man. Cast him out of you, and let CHRIST rise in you.
Let your real self rise, and not any of those old d - v - ls that have been there from the be-ginning. Don't you go around and try to have pity on them. Cast them out of your consciousness, every last one of them. You have pity on them and you be resurrected and they may make you go and jump before a train. It will be nothing but the d - v - l and acting just like the Holy Ghost. It may be your old daddy, your old mammy, your old sister, your old brother that wanted to kill ME and thinks you are in ME and I AM in you, and they will think they can kill you and destroy ME. That is the way it goes.
'If you hear any man inquiring after me, tell him first to deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.'
For a long time many of you have followed after ME, and have not denied yourselves even to that extent. But I told you to deny yourselves so that the denominations that have desolated many, may not destroy your lives and set you in desolation in the world. It is Wonderful!
Wear the world, wear the world,
Wear the world as a loose garment
Wear the world, wear the world,
Wear the world as a loose garment.
Wear the world so you can slip it right off
Wear the world as a loose garment;
Lay down the world and take up your cross,
Wear the world as a loose garment.
Chorus
Do not care what the people say,
Wear the world as a loose garment;
Just keep walking along this bright new way
And wear the world as a loose garment.
Chorus
Doubts and fears can no longer stay
When you wear the world as a loose garment.
If you keep a-walking up the King's Highway
And wear the world as a loose garment.
Chorus.
Nothing but peace should walk up this way
Wear the world as a loose garment
Lo, I will be with you, day by day,
If you wear the world as a loose garment.
Chorus
Take no thought for yourself,
Take no thought for yourself,
Take no thought for yourself1
What you're going to eat,
What you're going to drink, or
What you're going to wear.
