Sayville, L.I., N.Y.
Many Lectures, Sermons, Addresses and other matter to be released to the press were being proofread at the Table through the Condescension of our Savior, as the deadline for this week's publication of The New Day was fast approaching. However, as the wellspring of salvation continually pours forth in unceasing flow, fresh, pure water of Life and Spirit from the fount of GOD'S great Omniscience, thus it was that after the proofreading of one of His stirring Messages, our LORD arose to further stress the thoughts conveyed therein, and bring to our minds and attentions new and beautiful thoughts for consideration, upon which to concentrate.
For thy abundant blessings, dear Lord, we truly thank thee!
The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:
PEACE, EVERYONE!
Good health, good will and a good appetite; good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night and good morning again! These and all other blessings, to you I bring. You hear ME continue stressing and reiterating them. (Aren't you glad!) Not only so, but enumerating them to the highest term of enumeration in the human language, especially in English mathematics. It goes to show you, as I said in that Message as just proofread--especially the latter clause--the blessings you send out, the Blessings will return. As many as you send out to men, the Blessings will return to you as you have sent them, but increased and multiplied. Therefore, of the Blessings of the Increase and of the Peace, there shall be no end, for truly it is the days of those kings!
This is the day of those kings of which Daniel spoke:
'The GOD of heaven shall set up HIS Kingdom and will not leave it . . .
I could have said,
'to other folks.'
Aren't you glad! For truly GOD is doing His Own Work, establishing and re-establishing
HIMSELF in the earth, overcoming every obstruction and every opposition. That
is the reason for the great unfoldment, because of the oppositions, obstructions
and because of those things that would tend to prevent the access of this Truth.
We rejoice and are glad!
There are many things I could say, but as it was necessary at this time to release so much to the press and give you all a chance in this week's issue of THE NEW DAY to have MY Words as given--those of you who did not hear them, and those who did hear them and could not commit them to memory--when they come out in print in the paper, especially when they are printed verbatim, you have first hand information.
For this cause it has actually taken up much of the time and I should have refrained from speaking; but desiring to get out of the way in consideration, I have arisen to make this announcement as usual: All are welcome to speak.
All may move volitionally as we do if they care to, but especially our visiting friends, as you do not have the privilege of being here all of the time, the same as we do; we do not have the pleasure of hearing from you. I thank you.
Mr. C. W. Foster of Georgia arose from his seat at the Banquet Table to express firstly as follows:
FATHER, I rose to say two things. First I want to say, I thank YOU, FATHER; then I want to say to YOU, goodbye, FATHER. For the whole week I have been with YOU; in fact, I have been up on the pinnacle, been up in the heavens, and just having a week of rejoicing; and now as I get ready to go back home, back to the land of segregation and prejudice, I ask that YOUR Blessing go back with us (At this point FATHER sweetly said, 'So be it'), that it may be with us forever and forever. I have enjoyed this week here with YOU. I have had a wonderful time. It is a privilege to be with YOU! It is a privilege to be with YOU! Thank YOU, FATHER, thank YOU!
As Mr. Foster concluded, Mr. G. E. Hill, also of Georgia, arose to say:
PEACE, FATHER; PEACE, EVERYONE: I want to thank YOU, FATHER, for all the wonderful Blessings that YOU bestowed upon me. I feel in my heart I have been truly blessed, because it is wonderful to see all the wonderful Works that YOU have done that nobody could possibly tell me about. When I go home, I shall tell the story, because I know it is true; because YOU have satisfied my longing and nothing else would do it!
Our Savior sang this beautiful song herein recorded and then blessed us with more of HIS beautiful Words of Spirit and Life. The song appears firstly.
A-plenty, a-plenty, a-full and a-plenty,
A-full and a-plenty for all,
Of Peace and of Happiness,
Of Life and of Pleasure--
A-plenty, a-plenty for all!
PEACE, EVERYONE: Just then I brought that little thought back to consideration according to the original composition and the melody that was given:
'A-plenty, a-plenty, a-plenty, a-plenty,
A-full and a-plenty for all!'
I thought of the experience as the last speaker mentioned the experience of our
visiting guest from the South, and I thought of what they will meet--oppositions
and would-be oppression and would-be suppression--if they would allow themselves
to be oppressed and suppressed by the oppressors and the suppressors.
When you speak of ME, there are those who would desire to suppress your inspirational awakened conviction within and would desire to prohibit you from having the freedom of speech and the freedom to express your religious conviction. But when these oppositions arise, if you are persistent in your ambition within, there is Something within you that is greater, bigger and better than all opposition and all of the oppressors; for GOD within you through concentration and harmonization is Omnipotent!--I say within you--is Omnipotent, all powerful, all mighty, and when you say you hope that I will go with you, I go with you as you carry ME with you! And as you carry ME with you in all sincerity and in all simplicity, in all faith and be not shaken in confidence, I will give you inspiration and aspiration and will move intuitively within you more volitionally and more Omnipotently than you can imagine presently!
Oppositions help, oppressions help, and suppressions help. When you are suppressed, there is something within will come forth spontaneously, volitionally and Omnipotently and over- come that suppression. Even the mind within being suppressed by the versions of others and their ideas and opinions, it will be a blessing to help you to make your advances mentally and spiritually and thence physically, to overcome every undesirable condition that may have been created or devised, or inspired whichever, by the enemy.
Oh, how glorious it is to realize, when and wheresoever GOD is recognized to develop such a Recognition and such a Conviction in a person, oppositions must arise! Can you not see the mystery? You must make yourself bigger--at least, your conviction bigger. greater and mightier than all oppositions. You must know your religious conviction is greater and bigger than all creation; for from such a conviction all things were created and all things are being created.
Locally, and individually on a small scale, GOD expresses from that angle. If you have an inspiration for a composition and the Spirit within you attempts to compose by the inspiration within that is given, oppositions mentally and spiritually will arise. The opposing forces against your great Creator arise in whatsoever unfoldment GOD as the great Creator attempts to express. Can you not see the mystery?
Inventions and all scientific information, when it is presented, if it is bigger, better and greater than others, the opposition will arise to cause you to be bigger and greater and better in consciousness and in your conviction of such an inspiration or such a composition or such an unfoldment of scientific information, to let you come out bigger and better in consciousness and in consideration than those that have arisen in opposition!
Every genius in the world of science has met with his or her oppositions. The oppositions will arise. Your religious conviction should be bigger, better and greater than all creation in consideration, and in your consideration there should be no comparison, unless something can come forth into expression that will rival your conviction; why then you may be re-convicted into a light that is greater and better, if you can find another. That is what I AM talking about! That is the mystery and there lies the victory for the True and the Faithful who will endeavor to overcome oppositions.
One who will overcome undesirable conditions, he must conquer his own will and the will of others in opposition and in connection, that is not of his highest aspiration, that is not of his highest intuition, that is not of his highest inspiration; for according to your own highest religious conviction, you will overcome, unless you find another conviction or something else greater within that can rival your conviction and give you a bigger, better and a broader view on Life Eternal!
Oh, how glorious it is! The oppositions will cause the CHRIST within to be persistent in your ambition and will rise in you and will overcome in you every mortal versionated concept without and within, and will give you your real emancipation over and above every adverse and undesirable condition, for CHRIST within you is Omniscient!
Take these thoughts to consideration. Build upon this Foundation if you wish to, and you will rise above adverse conditions from every angle expressible. The social barriers will be eliminated, for CHRIST Universally, Omnipotently and Omnipresently is an Abolitionist!
GOD is not confined; GOD is not bound. I say, GOD Omnipotently, Universally and Omnipresently is Infinite and is an Abolitionist that will overcome that which is in opposition to nature--that is, that which is in opposition to the Fundamental where I AM absent Personally, as where I AM Personally Present.
That is why you hear them coming out with such a message as the First Lady did of a recent date, speaking to a group of American citizens--speaking according to MY Version--not being in touch with ME Personally--but Biblically speaking, psychologically speaking and scientifically speaking, mentally and spiritually speaking, she is standing by MY Side! I thank you.
As our beautiful Savior resumed HIS Seat HE continued volitionally speaking, saying:
You see, it is eternal life to know GOD! Matter, personality and individuality is not to be considered, for the truth transcends limitations! It goes into Infinitude! The truth is the reality of all of the predictions of the Scripture, so it is the reality of the forty-fifth Psalm in David's Psalmic prediction! I thank you.
