The Sound of Praises at
The Unity Mission Church and Home Inc., Picnic
One of the visiting ministers from a neighborhood church spoke and stated that he would like to have FATHER'S secret of supply in abundance, which brought forth this profound Sermon:
FATHER DIVINE:
GOD can make for you, MY fellow citizens, hearers and friends, any desirable blessing from the invisible realm to cause you to enjoy these blessings such as we are daily enjoying. Did HE not say scripturally back in the prophetic age:
'It is not by power, nor by might, but by MY SPIRIT, says the LORD GOD of hosts.'
Can you not see the Mystery?
Then if it is not by power nor by might, but by MY Spirit, realize, MY spirit will do it! If you do not claim the Spirit of the LORD, you can say, The Spirit of the Lord will do it! Can you not see the mystery? Therefore, it is not by power, it is not by might, but by MY Spirit, says the LORD! So by the Spirit of GOD, regardless to how you may think or see ME to be, MY Spirit has done it and it will continue to do it! I shall not be discouraged until I shall have it from shore to shore and from land to land just as I have it at MY left and at MY right! And none shall lack in GOD'S abundance, for there is a-plenty for each and every individual. We are living in a land of plenty! Whether it would be in this country or not, it would make no difference to ME!
I would like to say for the benefit of our fellow minister and neighbor that said he would like to know a little more, this is something he may know, but yet he may not have thought of it from that angle of expression; I have long since declared by composition:
'The Spirit of the consciousness of the Presence of GOD is the source of all supply and it can and it will and it actually does satisfy every good desire.'
That was a motto originally brought out years and years back. When the people
used to say, 'Where do YOU get so much money from? How can YOU do it?' I heard
it so much. After a while it came out dynamically volitionally as a thunderbolt:
'The Spirit of the consciousness of the PRESENCE of GOD is the Source of all supply and it will satisfy every good desire.'
I AM conscious of GOD'S Actual Presence and I have made millions and millions
conscious of it! By such a conscious recognition it is actually tangibilating
and materializing and bringing into outer expression every good and desirable
blessing! That is what it is all about. GOD'S Presence will do it! GOD'S Presence
is creative in itself by Nature, because GOD is the Creator! Aren't you glad!
I can just be right here and not do anything or say anything and MY Presence
will automatically create and bring into outer expression every good and desirable
Blessing we are seeking.
I have never taken up a collection! I have never done any soliciting, and I never expect to do it! I do not even ask MY immediate following for a penny, yet I have a-full and a-plenty and to spare! A-plenty of automobiles and houses and everything else at MY disposal for MY comfort and for MY convenience, because I do not ask them for it!
I would like to say to the doctor again, that this is one of the small places, but one of the largest places here in the City of Philadelphia under this Jurisdiction; but we do have places accommodating some have said, up to fifteen thousand and we have held meetings in public places such as St. Nicholas Palace in New York City and other large auditoriums that cost as much as a thousand dollars a day for rental! We did not do any soliciting or begging and we did not receive admission fees from the thousands and untold thousands that entered to hear ME! So then I say, it is operative and it is expressive! It is just as operative and expressive for you, my fellow brother, as it is for ME, if you can but perceive it and sincerely believe it!
But as I said a little while ago, when a little child is born, he doesn't know what complexion he is until someone tells him! I have taught millions and millions under MY Jurisdiction in this and in other cities throughout the universe, that they don't know what complexion they are! I did say scripturally:
'Except ye be converted and become as this little child, you can in no case enter into the Kingdom of GOD.'
As long as we even think on terms of races and colors, we are thinking on the
discriminatory system and practices of men and we are bringing about a division
among them; but when we think on terms of Unity, Brotherhood and Tranquility,
we leave that stuff behind! Aren't you glad. We are living in unison, all united
in one! And that is the way we shall have it from shore to shore and from land
to land and then none shall lack in GOD'S Abundance, for there will be no more
bread lines and it will no longer be necessary for anyone to be in lacks and
wants and limitations!
Now let us live in the Unity of the Spirit, MY fellow citizens, hearers and friends, and the Blessings of GOD will be upon you from shore to shore and from land to land and none will lack in GOD'S Abundance, for GOD is in the midst of the children of men! I would further like to say in conclusion the Mission of CHRIST to the children of men was to let them know GOD is on earth with them! What said the Scripture concerning that Mystery? It said:
'And HIS Name shall be called Immanuel, being interpreted, GOD is with us.'
is actually with you if you are not conscious of it! Some may not have brought
GOD to a tangibilated state of Being in consideration, but if you can only recognize
GOD'S Presence metaphysically, it will help you a little bit! Just know GOD is
present if you do not know HE has been Personified and is a person! Know that
GOD is Present in reality if you have to observe HIM metaphysically, for GOD
is a Principle and was not a person until HE made Himself a Person! That is what
I AM talking about! But HE is just as operative and just as expressive without
his person as he is with it, and just as operative and expressive with it as
he is without it!
Now for all of this,
'Know ye not that your bodies are the temples of the living GOD and GOD has said, I will walk in them and dwell in them?'
Let GOD walk and dwell in you by letting this mind be in you that was also in
CHRIST JESUS and naught will be able to sever you nor hurt you nor harm you,
for GOD will be wheresoever you go! And if you can but know that and then realize
you must follow Peace and Holiness with all men, the same as the minister came
here tonight, not supposedly of our Faith and Order, according to the religious
affiliation, but as he is endeavoring to express his neighborly love individually,
he came to visit us, and we appreciate his visit very much, for such will bring
about the Universality of true Christianity and will cause us to have a Righteous
Government in action as we live it and express it continually. I thank you.
