FATHER DIVINE
What the world beholds when it visits the PEACE MISSION Extensions of FATHER DIVINE, the great abundance of every conceivable blessing--food, raiments, comfort and convenience--can be enjoyed by all universally; for it is not confined to the BODY of GOD, FATHER DIVINE, the producer of all blessings. He exhibits and demonstrates all this, that all may know what they can enjoy--and there is but one requirement; the Life of CHRIST must be lived and then everything necessary to make life heaven on earth comes automatically.
FATHER speaks in this beautiful Message concerning the economic security enjoyed by His followers, who trust Him, and are thus protected religiously by the Sword of the SPIRIT, His WORD, and politically by the Sword of the country, the Constitution and its Amendments.
The gradual process of emancipation from all undesirable conditions and barriers, even the legal limitations such as the immigration law, is also explained by our SAVIOR; and He speaks this into actuality by demanding the release of those who desire to come to Him for freedom, telling the immigration authorities to let His people go, as did Moses in days of old.
In conclusion FATHER announces forthcoming meetings, which in itself shows the great progress of the Work of GOD and how the whole world shall go after Him in fulfillment of the Scripture.
WE THANK THEE, OUR IMMACULATE KING!
The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and FATHER'S Message follows the little song HE sang just before speaking.
Song
Free, free, free indeed (I heard you say).
GOD, my heavenly FATHER, set me free--Hallelujah!
Free, free, I am free indeed (I heard you say)--
Free as a bird to a tree
FATHER speaks as follows:
PEACE, EVERYONE !
That little composition long since composed is well worth considering here and now among you all. There are many unfoldments of freedom to come forth into expression; therefore from many undesirable conditions you must be emancipated. But it is a privilege to know, those of you who recognize GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE and live exactly according to My Teaching, you are emancipated from those undesirable conditions, from barriers and from limitations and even from the law of immigration, and from every undesirable condition; for what said the Gospel concerning this mystery ?
'If you continue in My words, you shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall set you free.'
It is a privilege to realize you are being emancipated! Those who are not emancipated
completely in the beginning, you are being emancipated daily, for it is written:
'The path of the just glows brighter and brighter until the perfect day.'
Then, it is a privilege to realize with Whom you stand; to recognize with Whom
you are consolidated--the INFINITE and His great creation, subjugated to the
great CREATOR! By working in harmony with Him mentally and spiritually, GOD works
in harmony with you and emancipates you from undesirable conditions, and gives
you your real freedom from every angle expressible.
'If you continue in My words, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.'
Those of you who have continued harmoniously with ME and have allowed ME to continue
harmoniously with you, from every barrier you are lifted, from undesirable conditions
you are emancipated.
There are those who have transcended the barriers of limitation such as the law of immigration, and every adverse and undesirable condition; therefore it is something to consider when you can transcend the barriers of immigration and the labor law of regulation. By overcoming the barriers and the red tape and the adverse and undesirable entanglements of such, it is a privilege to realize that GOD is your real EMANCIPATOR, when such a state of consciousness has actually been established in you by your personal experience in such an endeavor.
There are those who have been emancipated completely from the harriers of immigration, from the law of immigration. Then I say, it is something to consider. I do not mean that they have evaded the issue; I do not mean to say that they have violating-ly broken the law; but in obedience and in harmony with the authorities, they have transcended the barriers of immigration and the ban has been lifted.
GOD works mysteriously. He may be working on something now you do not know anything about. There are those in this country today who, just a few years ago you would have never thought it would have been possible for them to be here and live here, without being molested or embarrassed. But oh, how glorious it is! GOD has a way that has not yet been revealed.
When man finds out the way that HE has, and man tries to stop that way, GOD has another way that has not yet been revealed. GOD will always go you one better. That is the mystery. They may seek you out and find some way that had not been revealed, when it is revealed, and they may put a ban on that way; but I have another way that is not his--I mean man's way--that has not yet been revealed; for when I reveal the way, man will come in at times and say, "That is mine," and try to put a ban on that way. When a ban is put on that way, then there is another way awaiting you that has not been revealed. But I will reveal and lead you out into green pastures and into a land of plenty, where they are not in lacks, wants and limitations.
What a privilege to live in this recognition!
'If you continue in My words, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. He that the Son sets free is free indeed.'
Therefore, you can in the Light that I have given, the Light of the Life and
the Teaching of Jesus, from the undesirable conditions be emancipated; for CHRIST,
your SAVIOR, has set you free.
What a privilege to live in such a recognition, where you need not fret nor worry, knowing definitely once and forever, GOD is with, your real OVERCOMER, a real CONQUEROR; and all of the nations of the earth universally, even down to nationally and to organizationally, severally and even individually, shall know GOD has actually freed you.
This is not a supposition. That declaration made this evening in the proofreading of the Message as I gave it verbatim, shall be established nationally and even internationally. It shall be felt and heard, for the mouth of GOD has declared it. Aren't you glad?
What said one?
'Speak, LORD; Thy servant heareth.'
The whole of creation--I mean of GOD'S creation--is GOD'S servant. Every living
creature and every living expression of all of GOD'S creation under heaven, just
represents GOD'S servant--that is, if it has been controlled or if it is controlled
by the creative forces of nature or by the hand of nature; but GOD'S servant,
the same one that was speaking, has said:
'Speak, LORD, for Thy servant heareth.'
I see it to be you. I see it to be the inanimate things of life speaking through the mouth of the one who said:
'Speak, LORD, for Thy servant heareth.'
All of GOD'S creation, INFINITELY speaking, are but the one great universal and
infinite servant, and they must hear Me. Aren't you glad?
Mortal mindedly, dual mindedly, individually minded and yet dual mindedly, you will see and observe millions and billions and even up to decillions of things in your consideration, as being different individuals and different expressions, but speaking from the Universal Mind Substance, all are but the one servant; and parable-ly speaking, the answer was given and the request of your great CREATOR:
'Speak, LORD, for Thy servant heareth. Whatsoever Thou willeth, that will I do.'
You said it. Creation said it. They will be obliged to do it! That is what I
AM talking about. Matters not with Me whether they want to do it or not--it matters
not ! Aren't you glad?
'Whatsoever Thou willeth, that will I do.'
And that meant you! Aren't you glad?
I AM speaking infinite mindedly now--I AM not speaking limited mindedly but infinite mindedly. I AM speaking from the INFINITE MIND as a Mind that observes the creation moving at the command of the CREATOR and as one unit in the INFINITE WHOLE, speaking and moving according to My plan. That is what I AM speaking about. I know it is far, but that is what I AM doing now. But externally and universally as collectively, I AM getting all things together as an abstract expression of a sketch and a reflection of the mystery of GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE, in bringing the Universal Brotherhood of Man and the conscious recognition of the FATHERHOOD of GOD to the consciousness of the children of men; showing you that the Universal Brotherhood is a reality; the INFINITENESS of GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE is a reality; and the UNITY of the spirit, of mind, of aim and of purpose is a reality--that UNITY that cannot be severed in the great Universal Mind Substance. It is only severed in mortal consciousness; therefore even the mortal creation of GOD, the great CREATOR of the creation, is but one universal and infinite expression:
'Speak, LORD, and Thy servant heareth.'
Aren't you glad?
Can you not see how you all are assembled here tonight and daily and nightly, because of the Universal Mind Substance that will bring all creation into unity and cause them to think, speak and act, believe and know in unison? Aren't you glad?
You have to think that way, because I have brought that unifying process into expression and have put it into expression so effectively, now that I have displayed it completely; and all shall eventually recognize it and all will be obliged to think and speak and move and live and act and feel in unison. Aren't you glad?
'I pray that they may be one,'
said the Son. The prayer was not in vain. Aren't you glad?
Now, maybe some who are limitedly rebellious do not desire to be obedient to the great call of GOD to UNIFY in reality, mentally and spiritually; nevertheless, I have the SPIRIT and I have the MIND, and everything else under GOD'S creation and in His creation under the great Universal Mind Substance will come along.
'Let My people go. . .'
This democracy's policy as a democracy, I have endorsed it as a standard for
this present civilization and for this particular dispensation and this particular
time. The freedom of speech, the freedom of peaceful assemblage and the freedom
of the press, the freedom to serve GOD to the dictates of your own conscience,
the freedom of the recognition of your social, of your moral and economic equality
of expression--your privilege for such a freedom in all of your present existence
is expressive. It is your privilege to express it!
The freedom of worship, the freedom of the press and the freedom of your own conscience to express according to the dictates of your own conscience. When this is established in you under this democracy, as I have brought it to fruition expressedly, you will be able to declare it with Me in the actuated words of expression. If you are governed by your highest intuition and will move volitionally according to your own volunteer volition by being governed intuitively, the Spirit of GOD within you will be brought to fruition and you individually, as well as severally and collectively and nationally, will have the victory over every difficulty, over every trial, over every tribulation, even as I have it Personally.
As I was saying this evening, in the early evening, as it is with Me Personally, those who have consecrated their lives and sacrificed them for Me and are living exactly according to the Teaching of the Gospel, they are actually in possession of their rightful inheritance of the abundance of the fullness of the consciousness of good. They find no space vacant of the fullness thereof--of food and of raiments, of houses and of shelter, of every desirable comfort and convenience--all of these My followers who are living according to My Teaching, they have the free access to each and all of these blessings.
This is just a sketch and a reflection of what you will come into possession of, when all of you universally shall have made a complete surrender to the INFINITE and live Evangelically according to the record as given. That which is applicable and expressive to one, the same will be for the other. Now, just look at these who have partially surrendered, these who have partially denied themselves whole heartedly--food and raiments, comfort and convenience and every desirable blessing at their disposal and at their service. Through the cooperative system they are independent and they have an economic security. Aren't you glad?
But you must live it and express it scientifically and accurately and trust the INFINITE whole-heartedly and realize GOD is with you as did David in the time of his trials and tribulations. For what said he concerning the mystery?
'The LORD is my Shepherd and I shall not want.'
He said, "Thou art with me," speaking of the INFINITE. That should
be your conviction and should be the convincement of others.
The LORD is with you and you shall not want; even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you shall not fear evil
'. . . for Thou art with me,'
said he in the Psalmic prediction of this mystery and of this dispensation in
which you are now living.
GOD is with you. His rod and His staff, they comfort you. Can you not see you are comforted? Can others not see you are comforted? You are protected economically, you are protected mentally, you are protected spiritually. Religiously you are protected by the Sword of the SPIRIT--the WORD of GOD! Politically you are protected by the Constitution and its Amendments--the Sword of our country! Under this democracy you are protected going and coming. You are protected religiously and you are protected politically or legally. You are protected constitutionally; therefore you can build upon this foundation in and under this democracy, and invite others to come over in these States of this Union as the Land of Promise across the wilderness and enjoy GOD'S Presence.
This is not a supposition. It is no longer an imagination, I say. It is the conscious reincarnation and the realization of millions, by the actual facts and figures that have been established.
Then I say, rally around the flag; rally around this flag of the free, for I have brought you VICTORY under the Constitution and its Amendments, being protected by it politically and legally, and having your protection religiously by the Sword of the SPIRIT, the WORD of GOD. Therefore, you need not fret nor fear what may try to come to you all. The Psalmic prediction declared:
'. . . Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.'
Why, that is the reason why I do not fear evil. ". . . for Thou art with
me." Can you not see the mystery?
Then I say, build upon this foundation and
'Fret not yourselves because of the workers of iniquity, for they shall be cut off.'
That is, if dry land remains in appearance and can be observed again, they shall
he cut off; for that is the WORD of GOD:
'Before one jot or tittle of My Word shall fail, the heaven and the earth shall pass away,'
and go back into oblivion; shall no longer observed; therefore that is the only
way My Words to fail--is for you not to have any place physically or materially
to stay. Aren't you glad?
Then I say, tell every barrier and every enslaver to let My people go! They had better let those go who desire to go and come to Me! As with an individual, so with a nation. Those who are not bound individually or severally or collectively by anybody, they had better let them go! If they are governed by their highest intuition and desire to come for their real emancipation, they had better let them go--that is, if it is the law of immigration as a ban that has been lifted against them, they had better drop the ban and let them go !
I shall let all of the nations of the earth see and know there is something supernatural in the affairs of men, that they cannot hinder! There is something that moves even as the wind they cannot understand and they cannot prevent ! Aren't you glad?
Upon this foundation if you will stand and harmonize with Me eternally, you will have victory economically, religiously, socially and otherwise, for the mouth of GOD has declared it.
'Look on us,'
the Apostle said on one occasion.
'Look on us.'
Can you not see the victory over depressions, lacks, wants and limitations? Therefore
all of the nations of the earth can see My economic system for your physical
existence--I have the victory economically for you. I have it! Aren't you glad?
I have the VICTORY, I say, economically for you! You can come into possession of your rightful inheritance as this VICTORY and other necessary blessings. By such a recognition it will come automatically, scientifically, and will come accurately without you as a person trying to bring it or them into expression. Those things will come into actuality by the relaxation of your conscious mentality and by the stilling of yourselves individually, mortal mindedly, and trusting the INFINITE wholeheartedly and relying firmly on the FUNDAMENTAL.
You need not try to do anything in the act of bringing it about, but relax your conscious mentality, your mortal mentality; but yet be active in expression, according to the expressiveness of the INFINITE, by being pliable and susceptive to the will of the ALMIGHTY, and being governed by your highest intuition.
When GOD speaks intuitively and leads you volitionally and causes you to move volitionally, speak and move accordingly and do not be rebellious--My SPIRIT will give you VICTORY and will cause you to receive such an emancipation just as I have been telling you.
Just look at this ! What a glorious system as an abstract expression of a sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of the mystery. You can see I have actually manifested something. You can see it daily. I see visiting friends coming here daily. Under My Personal jurisdiction where I AM officiating, wheresoever I preside, you can see the VICTORY. You can see a-full and a-plenty and to spare. You can see those who are connected jurisdictionally, they are blessed economically with all of the comfort and convenience and the necessities of life, for the sustenance of their bodies and for their present existence.
As with these, so can it be with every ]living creature. It just happens to be these who have made a self denial to a degree, who can enjoy these blessings. Others who are not worthy and have not lived according to the Life and the Teaching of Jesus as recorded in the Four Gospels--you may read it and you will see the reason for any person or persons not enjoying what we are enjoying. You will see why they are not enjoying what I AM enjoying in its entirety, because it is just as applicable to you as it is to Me. All you must needs do is to get to that place in consciousness where you are worthy of it, and you will come into possession of the same. That is the mystery.
And you will enjoy it. But there are so many people who come in these different audiences and even in our own dining rooms at times, where I AM Personally presiding, who do not enjoy the comfort and the convenience, the food and the raiments. You don't even get the water like this out there. That is a fact! You do not even get a-plenty of nice ice water to drink. And they cannot see the work of GOD here among this people, and some of them come and have access to these blessings, and still they cannot enjoy them; for they are living in self and selfishness.
They are not worthy of them ! If they are fully consecrated, fully self denied and a living sacrifice, they can enjoy them as well as you or I. That is the mystery.
Now, this is not a supposition, for that which is Mine is yours, if you are ONE with Me. I do not claim anything as a person, yet the access in expression from every angle expressible, economically, socially and otherwise, you see the scope of My access is so far, you cannot visualize or vision the end. Mentally and spiritually, you cannot even surmise the access I have. Your fondest imagination cannot stretch to the length and the breadth of this access that I have.
The end you cannot vision, neither can you vision the size nor the breadth of it, for it is INFINITE by nature; for it is as the great CREATOR. At least, it has all of His characteristics. I thank you.
PEACE, EVERYONE !
I would just like to make this announcement before you all make your seeming departure. I know you can never depart from Me, but before you make your seeming departure, I would like to make this announcement tonight for the following meetings:
Saturday evening the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT Meeting will be in Kingston, N. Y., better known to us as KING'S TOWN, at 67 Chapel Street.
Tomorrow, all day Sunday, the Meeting will be also at Krum Elbow--the Opening of the new steel structure building just finished, which has not yet been dedicated to the Service. We expect to have the Dedication there by My SPIRIT tomorrow--Sunday. If I AM not there in Person, those of My Representatives who do have My SPIRIT, will be present to make the Dedication and Consecration of the structure to the Service.
At the Rockland Palace all day Sunday, the meeting will be there also for all of those of you who do not care to go to Krum Elbow. I will also be there in SPIRIT if not in BODY. My SPIRIT will carry the meeting on there and will speak as usual from time to time. Those who wish to attend any of these places tonight and Sunday and thereafter, they are welcome to do so.
This dining room will be open the same as usual for the public and those who wish to assemble here. The auditorium here and at all of the other places, the divers auditoriums will be open. So you will have places to visit if you do not care to, or if it is not convenient for you to go to Krum Elbow. I make it possible for you to be in the different meetings, because it may be a few or some of you who still owe bills and who do not desire to make the trip up to Krum Elbow, about a hundred miles, to pay whatsoever it would cost to go up there, if you owe bills. Therefore you can stay in the same environment, same SPIRIT and same PRESENCE in these different meetings and auditoriums and dining rooms here in the city. By this and this method I will bless you. I thank you.
