Truly might have one said,

'If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there shall thy hand lead me.'


This assertion was verified when one who formerly lived in Australia, told of how she had witnessed the demonstration of Father's Spirit across the continent in the way of material, physical and Spiritual blessings.

Father also verifies His acquaintance with the parties mentioned, and shows explicitly that if once one is rightfully connected, quickened and awakened by GOD'S Spirit, it will never leave them, and others can be blessed equivalently.

Gracious Lord, we thank Thee.

The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and Father's Message follows.

 

PEACE, EVERYONE!

I just received a letter yesterday from Mrs. Young of whom the last speaker was speaking. Mr. Young and Mrs. Young and their daughter, I do not bear record how long they stayed with us in our home in Sayville. They were in the theatrical world, traveling through the United States, and they heard of ME, and they came out to Sayville. The three of them were playwrights, and they came out to Sayville, and they stayed out there, I do not bear record how long, but if they told her that they were in our home there for three years, I AM quite sure it was true. At that time, as this as far as I AM concerned, the home was considered as Mine; therefore, we did not charge anyone a penny for anything we gave them, as long as they stayed in our home; and when they left, as I said the other day--I think it was yesterday--I think it has been somewhere about fourteen years, twelve or fourteen years, since they have seen ME, but they are carrying on with the same fire that I sent them on with in Sayville, Long Island.

As the last speaker said, twenty thousand miles away, she has seen people healed of in- curable diseases; she has seen them raised from the dead, because they believed on ME implicitly and sincerely and conscientiously. Aren't you glad! In far away New Zealand and Australia, there they are with that spark that they received of ME, and setting the Island on fire as they go, though they are theatrical people. Aren't you glad! And this lady, as you heard her say, had not seen ME, but My Spirit reached across the seas and brought her safely to ME--some twenty thousand miles, almost around the earth. Aren't you glad! Caused her to lay aside everything for that seed idea of Grace and of Faith implanted in the soil of her soul, recognizing GOD would take care of her.

Mr. and Mrs. Young and their daughter are now planning and asking My permission to open up a home in MY Name, to rescue the perishing and care for the dying. They mentioned the 'Cup in the Mountain'--they have never seen the 'Cup in the Mountain.' They have only read of it in The New Day, and in a slanderous and in a criticizing way, no doubt, in the daily press; but they are endeavoring to do as I have done, and not only do for some but for everyone as I did for them.

 

As The Seed, So Will The Fruit Be

Then I say it is a privilege to sow the seeds of kindness, and to know, if the seeds are pure, the fruit will be pure. Can you not see the mystery? There are many others, as she mentioned, thousands who have not seen ME, in Australia.

There are others in other parts of Europe, others in Africa and different places; but the Spirit of MY Presence is going forth conquering and to conquer, reviving, regenerating, rejuvenating and giving birth to the children of men again, and by the Spirit of MY PRESENCE through the recognition, they are healed of all manners of diseases, of ailments and complaints of every kind; and they did not have to come near ME personally. But of course when they get My Spirit so effectively, the more of My Spirit they get, the more they will love Me Personally, and the nearer they try to get near Me unless it happens to be that they are called otherwise to give service. Aren't you glad!

So it is a Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful privilege! All nations, languages, tongues and people can enjoy the Actual Presence of GOD as you do, for I AM there as well as here if they can receive Me!

On the Mount of Transfiguration in the days of JESUS, and at the time of the transfiguration, Moses and Elijah appeared, but Peter and John and some of them did not understand, for they said,

'Lord, . . . let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.'


But what said the Spirit from the heavenly realm, as though it was from heaven?

'This is My beloved Son, in whom I AM well pleased; hear ye Him.'

 

The Foundation Of The Church

And when this statement was made, Moses and Elijah disappeared; and JESUS began questioning them, 'Whom do men say that I am?' Some say Thou art Elijah and some say Thou art some prophet that has arisen from the dead, and many other statements according to the Gospel; but JESUS said to Peter, 'Whom say ye that I AM?' When Peter was fanatical enough and radical enough to say that JESUS was the CHRIST, the Son of the Living GOD, even though He was in a bodily form like unto his, there is the foundation of the church as depicted. JESUS said, 'Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father which is in heaven.'

'Upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of--'


you know what kind of place--

'shall not prevail against it.'


Those kind of places, the gates of them do not prevail against ME, and against those who know I AM GOD. That was the Foundation of the church, the conscientious conviction of Peter, or Simon's assertion: 'Thou art the CHRIST, the Son of the Living GOD.'

That was the Foundation upon which you can build, and the church that the 'other fellow's' places cannot prevail against. Aren't you glad? They cannot succeed against such a belief. Can you not see the mystery?

'Thou art the CHRIST, the Son of the Living GOD.'

 

GOD Is Your Protection

Such a Belief is the Foundation in the hearts of those who believe. The 'other fellow's' place cannot prevail against such a Foundation. Can you not see the mystery? They cannot succeed or prosper if you know sure enough He said,

'Upon this rock I will build My church; and the very gates of '--you know what-' shall not prevail against it.'


So it is a privilege to live in such a recognition where GOD is your protection, your Refuge and your Strength, and your great help in every need, and will and does your every hunger feed.

I could not and cannot stress that thought too vividly, for that is the way to the healing of the people and even to resurrecting them from the dead, because Mr. and Mrs. Young and their daughter, the young lady, received My Message some fourteen or fifteen years ago or more and still stand declaring who I AM; and that belief is the thing that heals the people; it is not anything I do as a Person. When they believe in what they say concerning ME, their belief heals them. And Peter's or Simon's belief was the Foundation of the church that Christ would build. He did not say someone else would build it. He said, 'Upon this rock I will build My church.'

Such a Faith will lift you above every obstruction, above every adverse and undesirable condition. Such a Faith will give you your real emancipation from undesirable circumstances and conditions, because it is GOD in expression, and by such a Faith, you have actually imbibed the Spirit of GOD'S Presence, and GOD actually surrounds you and protects you by such a conviction; and it will heal every ailment and every complaint, if you sincerely and conscientiously believe. That is the mystery.

 

FATHER'S Reply To Blessing

That is why I say at times when some say, 'Why, You are a good man,' I say, 'It is Wonderful!' and when they pray that GOD will bless ME, I say, 'I thank you!' I appreciate that desire you have for ME, and maybe GOD will bless them; for that which you send out will return to you again. Can you not see the mystery?

'That which you sow, you must also reap.'


Hence, when you have good wishes for others, even though they may not need them, your good wishes will be a blessing to you, for blessings and cursings are as chickens; they come home to roost. If you send out cursings, they come home to roost from whence they were sent. Can you not see the mystery?

If you send out blessings, they come home to roost; that is why we are blessed so wonderfully. Just continue to send out blessings and ask GOD to bless ME all you choose; you will be blessed if you are conscientious and sincere and true in all you say and in all you do. GOD will actually automatically bless you for the blessings you have requested upon us, for you must reap just what you sow. I thank you! I thank you! I thank you!
