MOTHER DIVINE serving Holy Communion Banquet
at the
Divine Tracy Hotel, Philadelphia, PA.
Universally extending His Hand of righteousness, Justice and Truth, FATHER DIVINE, the Creator of Heaven and earth, marches triumphantly on, speeded on His onward and upward travel, by way of which HE is gently leading His sheep, by the apparent stumbling blocks of man's finite ability to endeavor in his weak way to try to hinder or retard the Master of Omnipotency and the Controller of every man's destiny.
In these Messages that HE gives to humanity at large, are Words of Spirit and Life given for their redemption in fulfillment of Jesus' prayer: "I pray that they may be one, even as WE are One."
Thus, it is only through His Condescension to come to the earth plane to dwell, through Love, Mercy and Tender Compassion, that we are so privileged, but yet, it is His Will and His Desire that such be.
Angels, blessed to be in the Personal Presence of the LORD HIMSELF on this occasion, joined with HIM in the singing of many beautiful compositions, messages of great import and worth in themselves, and just before FATHER arose Personally to deliver this most wonderful Message herewith recorded, HE sang:
Praise the LORD, Praise the LORD,
Praise the LORD forevermore,
Oh, won't you praise the LORD,
Praise the LORD,
Praise the LORD forevermore.
FATHER Speaks as follows:
PEACE EVERYONE!
That little composition long since composed but well worth reiterating and well worth your consideration as the last speaker said, there are millions who have not seen ME Personally is a true saying, but as you as individuals the universe over, sincere believers who will dial in on ME, My Life and My Teaching, in you they will see ME. That is the Mystery!
'Let the world see your FATHER in you;
Wheresoever you go and whatsoever you do,
Let the world see your FATHER in you.'
The reproduction of the identical expression, that of which you are stressing,
should become to be a living reality by transmission through concentration. That
which is concentrated upon, the Essence, the Substance, the Reality of it, can
be transmitted to others, and especially to those of whom are concentrating vividly
on that something.
Then I say:
'Let the world see your FATHER in you.'
If you desire men or mankind the universe over, yea, even if you desire any other
individual to observe the Majesty, Love and Mercy of your Savior, produce it
in yourself as an individual and in yourselves as individuals. Allow the Christ
to be manifested in you that others may see the reality of that which you are
stressing no longer as something merely imaginable, but a living reality made
real, tangible and practical.
The Life of Christ is reincarnatable, it is re-personifiable and it is re-actable; it can be enacted and expressed and manifested in actions as well as in words that are spoken; therefore, the significance of CHRIST and His Mission was to bring mankind to the conscious realization of GOD'S Omni and Ever Presence! When you are conscious of GOD's Ever Presence, it is not especially necessary to observe His Personal Presence. When GOD as a PERSON is absent, GOD is present as a Spirit or Principle, in reality.
When you recognize the Omnipotence, Omniscience and Omnipresence of GOD your CREATOR, the very same Spirit that you are stressing will be manifested in your daily deeds and actions; hence, GOD will be observed by all of the people, if you will stress Him actually in words and in deeds.
For this cause I say:
'Let the world see your FATHER in you,'
that you might bring forth the outward expression of GOD's appearance, not merely
in the physical or material appearance but the Impersonal Presence of GOD by
Characteristics, by Attributes, by Deeds and by Actions by Nature. The Nature
of GOD must be exemplified! The Nature of GOD must be stressed vividly that others
might realize the significance of it!
You cannot stress it vividly unless you sincerely believe it, but if you sincerely believe it you will vividly stress it, for you will live it with the spirit of sincerity; and by living it with the spirit of sincerity without the act of your endeavor to manifest it, it will be manifested automatically; and mankind, those with whom you come in contact, will observe it. They will observe GOD's Actual Presence and will be obliged to believe in the Reality of HE of Whom you are trusting. Why? Because you are explaining it in the expression of your actions, or your deeds and of your words of the reflection and the reaction of your love and your compassion for humanity.
The Love of GOD as manifest, when it is reincarnated and remanifested, it can and will be observed in Love and in Kindness and in Mercy, as an expression at times of Pity or Sympathy. You will express Sympatheticness for others. The Compassion of GOD, His Love and Mercy transmitted to humanity, when they express it, it will be an expression of Sympathy, Compassion, it will be an expression of Kindness, it will be an expression if Mercy. These are the expressions of Love and Mercy and Compassion of the ALMIGHTY. When they are inculcated and reincarnated in humanity, they will express to that degree of expression of Mercy, Sympathy and Sympatheticness and of Kindness, Hospitality and other expressions for this modern civilization. But when it is expressed from GOD's Majesty and Infiniteness, it may be Love and Compassion and Mercy in expression, but as mankind in mortal consciousness must express from the angle of expression wherein they are functioning, they will express it in hospitality, in sympatheticness, sympathy, and in pity, and at times, as expression of mercy; hence, they are expressing, reflecting and manifesting GOD in their lives.
By so doing you will be:
'Letting the world see your FATHER in you!'
Remember, GOD is Merciful, GOD is with Tender compassion, GOD is longsuffering
and patient; GOD is LOVE and KINDNESS. These Expressions of GOD inculcated will
be an expression manifested that others can observe as something more than that
which they can give. Aren't you glad!
'Let the world see your FATHER in you; Whatsoever you do and wheresoever you go, Let the world see your FATHER in you!'
If you love ME, you desire others to see ME. You do not merely desire others
to see ME for a selfish purpose, but by nature, GOD's Love, you are a partaker
of it; hence, you will sincerely desire others to enjoy the privileges you are
enjoying, enjoy the blessings you are enjoying and the Freedom you are enjoying.
For this cause you would desire others to observe it and also become to be partakers
of it.
By so doing you will think in that line with them through harmonization. You need not be in unity with them in the antagonistic and conflicting way, but with Compassion, with Love, with Pity, with Mercy, with the Divine Devotion, you can and should be partakers with them of that of which I Am stressing. By passing it over to them in deeds and in actions, they will enjoy GOD's Presence as they observe HIM expressing from that angle. Why? Because they can see GOD as a FRIEND, GOD as a HELP in the time of need no longer merely something as an imagination.
When GOD expresses and manifests in you as a person and persons, those with whom you come in contact can see the Reality of God as a Living Savior, the Redeemer of all humanity, as Something that is Practical and Profitable, as Something that is more than your fondest imagination , as Something that is more than a supposition and your preconceived ideas and opinions and those mortal versions but as a living Reality, having become to be Real, Tangible and Practical, for it is helpful to you in reality on the material plane where you are functioning.
'Let the world see your FATHER in you,'
and all that you do and everywhere you may go, express GOD, as GOD would express
to you. Just as you sincerely believe GOD would express to you or would have
you express to others, express thus accordingly. By so doing the world will see
GOD in you and will realize the REALNESS of GOD.
GOD has not been a REALITY to the world of Christianity, GOD has been a mythological expression in the mythical realm, only observable from your imaginary concept of things; but I came to bring that which was far away in your highest imagination to the earth plane that you might understand and observe those things, and see them as they are. Aren't you glad!
How marvelous it will be when all realize you are to be the expressers of ME, you are to be the Manifestors of ME, you are to be the reflectors and the actuated sketches of ME no longer drawing a cartoon or a sketch, as an artist or a cartoonist does, from a point of view observing something from an artistical,, external point of view; but allow it to be merely an actuated expression of My Image and Likeness manifested. Then and there they will see ME, then and there they will believe ME, for they will be convinced, where they have not been convinced, to observe the TRUTH, and to believe.
Why? Because GOD to them then, is REAL. GOD is not real to the children of men saving as HE can reveal and make HIMSELF real to them through something in their likeness that they might understand. In the likeness of men, GOD can explain Himself to them by coming in the likeness of them. The Likeness and the Image of GOD can be revealed by stressfully concentrating and reflecting the Image in deeds and in actions by harmonizing with HIM in His version, in His opinion and in His ideas, whatsoever it may be, about all things.
By so doing you are reflecting the very likeness of GOD, for you are with HIM. The Apostle did say:
'Behold, what Love the FATHER has bestowed upon us, that we might be called the Sons of GOD...and it does not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like HIM; for we shall see HIM as HE is.'
The likeness of GOD appears as HE is revealed, and the Likeness of GOD is revealed
as HE appears. HE appears in HIS Likeness through whom and in whom HE is revealed;
in whom HE is revealed His Likeness is no longer concealed. Therefore His likeness
will be revealed as you allow GOD in you to be revealed. That is the Mystery!
GOD is seen visible as you visibilate GOD in deeds and in actions in your daily dealings and transactions. That is the Mystery! By so doing you are "letting the world see FATHER in you."
When mankind can see the Perfect Picture they will appreciate it, for it is fascinating, it is a Center of Attraction when it is expressed Perfectly and Accurately. It is not dispelling nor impelling but to the extreme reverse, it is a Center of Attraction; it is an expression of true MAGNETISM; it will attract and draw others to it. That is the Mystery!
Take these thoughts to consideration and observe the Mystery. As you live it and express it you will see distinctly and directly, GOD is a Living Reality if you will "let HIM" GOD cannot be a Reality to you and for you nor through you unless you "Let HIM"; but as you "Let HIM," GOD will let you be an expression through whom HE can be manifested. Aren't you glad!
Live in this Recognition, dial in on the Fundamental continually and lo, I will be with you in an expression that will be well pleasing to you. Why I say, "Lo, I will be with you," is because it is TRUE. I Am not speaking about a person especially, neither a personality. From My angle of expression, in My Likeness from a mental concept of yourself, I may not be, but in Reality I will be with you according to that which is needful for you to have and needful for you to be.
I AM Joy, I AM Health, I AM Happiness, I AM Success, I AM Prosperity, I AM Wisdom, Knowledge and I AM Understanding; I AM Love and I AM Kindness, I AM Happiness and every other desirable Expression. If I AM these, then these are the things you need to be for your advancement and for the satisfaction of your desires then I will be with you from the angle of expression that is essential for you, and I will be just what you should be and what you would desire to be and I will be it for you, with you, through you and by you; therefore, "Lo, I will be with you." That is the Mystery!
Think not to say within yourselves
'When FATHER says HE will be with us, HE will be there in Person.'
Think not to say within yourself from the mental concept of His Personality or
Appearance HE will be there especially, but know within yourself from these attributes
and expressions, desirable Characteristics or Characteristical Expressions of
MY Majesty, Love and Mercy and, in short, OF GOD IN REALITY of these I will be
with you if you will LET ME! That is the Mystery!
How marvelous it is to know the Truth! Mother Nature, the Hand of Nature, yea, even the sap in the earth will produce vegetation and will be with every seed according to its own kind and to and with every animal after his own species, of whatsoever kind they may be. After the manner of every bird in the bird Kingdom, GOD in the mane of Mother Nature will be with them according to their respective expressions and will appear accordingly; therefore, GOD is with them from that angle of expression.
GOD in the name of Mother Nature is with the ostrich according to the ostrich's nature and the species of bird that ostrich is, and will appear from that angle of expression and will answer every problem accordingly. That is the Mystery!
Then I say, "Lo, I will be with you," for the good of every individual from a Characteristical point of view. From an "attribute-al" point of view I will be with you according to your Faith in ME and according to your works and according to your deeds. This is also according to the Gospel; it is
'Behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with ME, to reward every man according as his works may be.'
You must give an account of every word you say and every deed that is done in
the body; therefore, it is according to your deeds and according to your actions
and according to the working of the spirit and the mind within you.
So then I say, "I will be with you," if you will allow ME to; and if you allow these words to be applicable to your life, to you and to your affairs, from a GODLY point of view, I will be with you. Regardless to how I may apparently be in Person, regardless to how your version may have been concerning ME as a Person, stress the Name of GOD and the Nature of GOD; stress that of which I Actually AM! Stamp that in your memory as a rubber stamp would stamp a name of something of its own kind, according to the print on the paper. Oh, it is a privilege to observe it!
You have heard My Message and My conclusion, My Qualities stressed in the closing of My Letters. I have stressed them in words. I have manifested them in deeds, I have manifested them in actions and in outward expressions. Then I say, I AM these Qualities and Attributes I AM stressing; others are such as they will stress such as they are stressing.
Many a person will say,
'I am no good. I am sick. I am sad," or,"It made me so mad!'
Those things make you--or in other words--made you become to be the personification
of madness; therefore, you could not express the Expression of Gladness. You
say you are sad. It is a matter of impossibility for you to express the Expression
of Happiness when you are the personification of sadness, for you have made yourself
the expression of it. To the extreme reverse of such an expression, I Am stressing
the Attributes and Quality--those Qualities that are very Desirable, those Attributes
that are profitable and are the outward expression of PERFECTION. I reflect them
and I manifest them because I stress them!
I AM not merely stressing them in words, but stressing them in deeds and in actions. From a psychological point of view, you will be partakers of them if you will vividly visualize them even if you are not stressing them; but if you are in harmony with them and will vividly visualize them, you will tend to materialize them. But if you close your eyes against the light and will not observe nor visualize that which I have declared and that which I have personified, it is a matter of impossibility for you to materialize it, for you have refused to visualize it.
Your eye is as a Magnet your mental eye is as a Magnet, your spiritual eye is as a Magnet, your physical eye is as a Magnet. You tend to attract that which you vividly gaze upon and you produce the very likeness of it in your consciousness or in your subconsciousness. That is the Mystery of the Artist!
The Artist will bring out of himself that which he has vividly visualized with his physical eyes; yet it will come out of himself but it was out there! He vividly visualized it, your likeness and your image, and he drew it in the almost exact likeness and image because he vividly, physically visualized it and he produced it in himself from an artistic and mental point of view; and artistically he drew it that you might observe it and that others might know, who did not know, he drew it. Aren't you glad!
So it is in drawing the PERFECT PICTURE to you and in your consideration. Your eye is a Magnet, your mental eye, your spiritual eye, your physical eye; and all of your eyes of your mind are magnets to draw and to be drawn upon. Aren't you glad! Then I say, if you have a PERFECT VISION to visualize the PERFECT PICTURE, you will draw the PERFECT internally, and you can put it forth into expression artistically that others might understand it, and when they observe it vividly, they can, as well as you will, tend to materialize it.
How marvelous it is to realize the TRUTH and scientificness of the TRUTH as I put it forth to you! This is not an imagination. Everything that is observable, all things that are visible, they were once invisible, but they were made visible by some individual or something concentrating in that direction consciously, and the conscious concept concerning the Mystery actually materialized it by visualizing it. That is the Mystery!
So then I say, the PERFECT PICTURE the FATHER in you is a REALITY in your actions, in your deeds and in your ideas and your opinions and must be stressed vividly, that you might materialize HIM! It is not necessary to visualize My Physical or Personal Appearance especially, but stress My Characteristics, My Nature, My Attributes, My Qualities of which I Am stressing, and harmonize with them. And LIVE and EXPRESS THEM in deeds and in actions and you will become to be the Personification of them; then you will be even as I AM.
