152-160 W. 126th Street, New York City
To answer the question once and for all time, FATHER gave this Message which first was to be an announcement apparently, but developed into a beautiful Message. Answering everyone individually who desires to go to Philadelphia for the Opening and Dedication, would take several days of the LORD'S valuable time and necessitate neglecting matters of importance, and therefore the answer given in an open Message should inform everyone who has any doubt as to whether or not they have HIS permission; and all who desire to do HIS Will should read and absorb and digest it, for HE enlarges upon the subject of doing HIS Will and making the proper contact or connection, with the parable of electricity.
Blessed Redeemer, we Thank THEE!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and FATHER'S Words follow:)
PEACE, EVERYONE: Everybody happy? Aren't you lad? At this particular instance I have arisen to say, before you further go and before there are any other questions asked concerning the trip to Philadelphia and return; I announced it two or three different times, the direction by which you may go if you are going, and also the time the train leaves, and I further wish to say, those who wish to go, it is up to you. Personally you know what obligations you have, if you have any, and you know whether it is convenient for you to go and whether it is right for you to go or not. Therefore, all who desire to go, as far as I AM Personally concerned, it is okay with ME if it is convenient for you to go and if it is right for you to go. And that point in a Message means now and the next time we go any place!
Do not feel as if though I want you to stay or go especially, unless you care to; and on the other hand, I want to say because I mentioned the train I do not mean to say you are required to go on the train. You may go in whatsoever way you care to go--the train was authorized for your convenience, those who did not have other convenience to go, and for the purpose of making it as reasonable as possible for you to go.
There are some buses going from Newark at one dollar or one dollar and twenty-five cents round trip--I think it is a dollar. MY thoughts are true. This was MY first proposal years ago to get prices or fees for transportation down as low as possible, not only for those of you MY followers but for everybody; for whatsoever you do to others consciously or unconsciously, you are doing also to yourself.
These thoughts are well worth considering, for the person or persons who will save you a nickel, that person automatically will gain a nickel--if not a nickel in money, in service or in something. So take these thoughts to consideration and consider, I AM not saying you must necessarily go on the train, neither AM I saying you must necessarily go on the bus. I AM not saying you must necessarily go on private cars. Whatsoever way that has been made the most convenient for yourself, and the most reasonable, it is your privilege to accept of the best and reasonablest for yourself and for others.
It does not profit ME anything for you to go by rail and it does not profit ME anything for you to go by bus. Each of these ways of transportation has been paved out for the benefit of you, and the price or fee has been cut down to the lowest margin without any compensation on our part
I was talking with one of the bus representatives or one of the representatives of the bus company, and they said they would carry the passengers for whatsoever I would suggest. I said, "I do not wish to set a price, but you know what we used when we attempted to run the buses for benefit of travelers, MY followers and others. Then he said, I think one dollar twenty-five cents from New York.
I AM saying that to convey this thought: I want you to know you are welcome to go, as far as I AM Personally concerned, especially so long as you do not owe any old back bills and have paid them, and if you do not owe any present bills that you should have paid or should pay.
It is good to abide in MY Spirit and in MY Mind, for in MY Will you will find happiness! You find peace and you find success and prosperity! You find health and you find tranquility! You find everything desirable as soon as you get into MY will.
The question may be asked, "Why is it some are so happy in the Spirit? Because they are in MY Will if they are real happy sure enough. Then if happiness pleasures in you and you can enjoy happiness, I AM that Happiness that you are enjoying. Hence, happiness pleasures in you and enjoys you, if you enjoy happiness by being in the will of GOD; and as it is with the invisible happiness in expression as a mental unfoldment or manifestation, even so with GOD in Person.
If you are out of GOD'S Will, GOD does not pleasure in you and your presence is not pleasant. But if you are in GOD'S Will, happiness enjoys you and you will enjoy the happiness and the pleasure of which GOD IS. Can you not see the mystery?
So take these thoughts to consideration and remember, the spirit of happiness and the invisible expression and expressions of which I AM, are just as operative and expressive as I AM Personally! If you cannot and will not make your rightful contact with the invisibilization of Myself, and cannot enjoy ME invisibly as the impersonal and invisible happiness, peace and joy and pleasure, success and prosperity; you cannot expect to enjoy ME Personally and you cannot expect for ME to enjoy you personally if you cannot harmonize with and enjoy MY Spirit, MY Joy, MY Peace, MY Love and MY Pleasure with MY Happiness and MY Success and MY Prosperity of which I AM. You cannot expect for your personal presence to be pleasant to ME and you cannot rightfully expect for ME to enjoy you and your presence, unless you can enjoy these of which I AM expressing!
You get in MY WILL and you will find all of these of which I AM will be yours, and as all of these are yours of which I AM declared to be, so will you be to ME; for you will radiate by transmission and by reincarnation that of Which I AM and AM expressing; and we will work and express and act in unison, and every move, even every gesture, will be an expression that will react upon the impulse of the moment as I have told you, especially if you are in tune and have your switch turned on so the current is ready to act; it will make the contact.
This is not a supposition. At times I AM in MY extensive suite at Madison Avenue and I leave the front room as MY private office and go all the way back in the far end extension of the suite, and if anyone in the building makes a call on the telephone, if I have MY portable radio with ME, it responds to every time you make the dial. With an accurate and a scientific study of the mystery, I could tell you definitely what number you would be calling.
The radio which is a portable radio, with the switch turned on records your dial every time you dial. It reacts and yet there is no mechanical or material contact, but there is a scientific electrical contact that is actually transmitted because it is electricity. It is Impersonal! It catches it. That is the mystery.
And when the doorbell rings any place in the building, it records the sound of the bell and I can know personally from a personal point of view when the doorbell has rung.
That is a little thought I AM telling out of school, something you did not know; but I have said I would not keep anything hid from you. How marvelous it is to see the scientificness of the invention of electricity! And the accurateness of it in its expression actually tells you in the parable of its activity by invention and by its nature and its characteristics GOD is expressive and you are conductive and can and will contact someone else who is in the spirit if they have their switch turned on.
Your electrons of electricity will respond to the transmitted current of the electricity from another, and you will get the message speedily if you are conscious or even if you are not conscious of it. It will contact you at times. You move. But especially when you are in tune and the very spirit from the spirit is spoken, the transmission of the spirit from the spirit to the spirit reacts upon the impulse of the moment as a flash even though you have not made a physical or a personal, mechanical, material contact. These thoughts are well worth considering.
Once upon a time you thought you would have to make some kind of a contact for the Message to be transmitted like that. Even though it is not a broadcast, it reacts and it responds through the mechanical radio receiving set the same as if it was mechanically connected. Now isn't that wonderful?
And to think, all the way back in the extensive suite to the very last room in MY suite I can get your dial on the telephone with MY portable radio in hand and not connected with anything saving connected electricit-ly! It is connected electricit-ly but not materially or mechanically. That is the mystery.
You are connected mentally and spiritually and I can get you any moment, and if your heart keeps right and the electric battery of your soul is ever charged and if it does not get weak, keep your switch turned on, at any time you will get the touch electricit-ly. If you do not get it personally, you will get it spiritually. That is the mystery.
Even if you do not get it consciously mentally, you will get it spiritually, for you are connected spiritually if not consciously mentally and personally. Your spiritual connection is more expressive and more stressful to be considered because that is something supernatural; transcends the natural and goes into the earth and it reacts automatically scientifically and it expresses itself electricit-ly. That is the mystery. Aren't you glad?
Just think of it! You have heard them talk about being joined in heart. You have heard them speak about it in the churches; even some have heard it before electricity was invented; but they did not have the mechanical invention to tell them so explicitly as I can tell you in this dispensation. But I can cause you to act and react and move and vibrate by the transmission of MY Spirit, and you are obliged to do it if you are rightfully connected and if you will not deviate but rightfully stay connected and attached mentally and spiritually.
You need not be attached personally--the mental and spiritual connection will cause the reaction and the reflection of the vibration and you will get the witness of the spirit when another speaks and another acts automatically, and you get it spiritually even as MY radio receiving set makes the contact electricit-ly but not mechanically. Aren't you glad?
The time cometh and is near at hand when I shall electrify the atmosphere in which you live and I will cause you to move or be still. Aren't you glad? If the mechanical inventor can by invention and by science do it, how much more can the Creator and the Inspirator of all inspirations and of all inventions do in the act of bringing out the thought of which HE is conveying.
I shall electrify the atmosphere so effectively, in which you live, you will move at MY command or you will be still! Aren't you glad? The time cometh and is near at hand, I will make the unbelieving man be a jumping-jack in MY Hand! Aren't you glad? GOD deals in the affairs of men and none shall hinder HIM. The very thoughts of your mind shall be electrified! Aren't you glad? Not only electrifying the atmosphere but I shall electrify the stagnated minds of the children of men. Even though they may be lying dormant in them, I shall electrify them and cause your dormant and stagnant minds that have been lying dormant for all time, to be electrified, to be quickened and rise and move and speak and act according to the plan and the purpose of GOD. Aren't you glad?
GOD deals in the affairs of men, for GOD is that Something that causes you to think and causes you to feel. GOD is your feeling! GOD is your taste! GOD is your five physical senses as well as your spiritual senses and your spiritual vibrations and expressions. GOD is both it and them, especially those things that are apparently supernatural. Aren't you glad?
Your very feelings, your taste, your hearing and your sight that causes you to see, although you think it is yours, I will electrify the sight of things that are sight in the eyes of millions of living creatures and of all mankind. That sight by which you see, which is commonly known as your sight, is that sight that sees through each and every living creature--all animals--and those that are not moving from place to place, if they have sight in expression, the selfsame sight can be electrified and can be spiritualized and it can express by the great awakening spirit of your GOD! Aren't you glad?
The physical sense of smelling, I can electrify the sense of smelling, that sense of smelling in evidence in expression in every living creature that has any sense of smelling. The same sense of smelling if in evidence, GOD in the name of smell can be electrified, quickened and awakened in the hearts and lives of living creatures and cause them to smell scientifically and smell accurately and express the truth in the sense of smelling spiritually and perfectly, and express GOD in perfection in each and all of your five physical senses as expressive and as operative and as accurately as that of your sight and your smelling. I thank you.
