Many ministers attending the Presbyterian Conference at Convention Hall in Philadelphia were present with us as guests on this particular occasion. Although in town for the general assembly meetings of the Conference, many were desirous of spending some time with FATHER and MOTHER in order to learn more of HIS Great Work and Mission of Righteousness that is known the universe over and is contagionizing the hearts and minds of millions with honesty, competence and truth and causing them to be lovers of true Democracy and real Christianity under the Fatherhood of GOD, thus materializing and tangibilating the brotherhood of man in every land!

Thus it was, after having invited HIS guests to speak, and they having sincerely responded, our beloved Savior arose once more and delivered this profound sermon concerning the limitless blessings to be freely obtained by one and all who come into the conscious recognition and realization of GOD'S Actual and Ever Presence being a living reality in their midst.

Read therefore, HIS beautiful words of spirit and life and dwell in HIS spirit and mind eternally. In so doing you will be under the constant and lasting protection of GOD Almighty, and as HE stresses, naught will be able to hurt nor harm you when you are conscious of HIS Actual Presence ever with you!

Beloved Redeemer, we truly thank Thee!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)

 

Peace Everyone: We do not wish to bore you but we are entertaining you to learn more of you. By learning more of each other we come to and learn to love each other better! For this cause, we are happy to have our visiting guests tonight, and we hope they will not allow this or let this be their last visit, since it is a privilege to unite together; and as it has been declared by the prediction of Isaiah and also Micah, as printed on the reverse side of this card, place card, (FATHER holds up the Woodmont place card as HE says:) You will see that many people will say come and many people will say go. It is your privilege to be a participator in the association of this conviction of ours in person as well as in spirit and in mind!

The Mountain of the House of the Lord, it was prophesied of and discovered many years ago back in Bible times, but in the last times we find the fulfillment of that of which we are now speaking is made common and advantageous as well as beneficial to all of us. They shall say 'Let us go up to the Mountain of the House of the Lord that HE may teach us of HIS ways!' We are happy to say that the time has truly come in the fulfillment of that Scripture; we are now the recipients of such blessings that GOD Himself is presently extending! (Thunderous applause resounds.)

I would like to say again, it is written: 'You know not how to pray as you ought, but the Spirit Itself maketh intercession for us in groanings which cannot be uttered.'

We are happy to say that the thing you vividly visualize you tend to materialize! Remember, we are subject to being material reproducers of the thing that we vision! We are happy to say as I have declared by composition: 'The Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD is the source of all supply and it will satisfy every good desire!'

If you are conscious of GOD'S Presence and vision it vividly, conscientiously and sincerely and be true to your religious convictions, you will be able to reproduce something that is advantageous and lasting, something that will give others life and liberty! We are happy to say these blessings are free for one and for all, and you too as well as those of us who are now enjoying the blessings and are conscious of it, you will be able to enjoy the blessings of the Presence of GOD wheresoever you are! 'The little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.' and we will not be discouraged until that seed idea of faith, of life, whichever; by inspiration with it you have been impregnated, shall have developed and brought to fruition itself within, and your very bodies will become to be the expressed image and likeness of GOD! It is wonderful! Just thing of it!

And as we go down from this place and remember, GOD is no longer a vision, no longer a dream; GOD is real! Real! Real! (Thunderous applause resounds.) Once you visioned things and dreamed things that had not been fulfilled; but we are happy to say we are at this day and at this time fulfilling that which you have been dreaming! It is wonderful! Not necessarily a materialistic Savior, a reproducer of material things necessarily, but realize Spiritual things and invisible things are materialized and they are realized by the materialization of itself into the material expression of life! You can look at each other and see life, health and vigor! By visioning and producing the quality of good and all of its characteristics you are partakers of the nature of GOD and all of HIS characteristics!

So then we are happy to say, we are not looking for anything less than that of perfection, for it is written: 'Be ye perfect even as your FATHER which is in heaven is perfect!' and we will not be discouraged until the physical bodies of the children of men shall have been transformed completely by the renewing of their minds, in the fulfillment of the prediction and request of the apostle: 'I beseech ye, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, which is you reasonable service, and be not conformed to this world!' We are happy to say, as you live it and express it you will reproduce it, materialize it and personify it! Therefore, that which was invisible and imaginary will be materialized and personified, and the Kingdom of GOD will not be far from you, the prayer for which you have prayed:

'Let The kingdom come and Thy will be done!'


Let GOD'S Kingdom cone in us as it is in heaven, and we all will be able to enjoy the Actual Presence of your Savior! God is present! Aren't you glad! ('yes, so glad!' came the joyous response.) Will move out doubts and fears! Just as we sing that little song about International Peace, if you take this international peace along with you, and the International Peace place card, and the place card of the Mountain of the House of the Lord, you will not have an occasion to fear any disaster! Not any accident! No disappointment! Go anywhere you may, just the same as MY boy do and have done in the first, the second and in the last war, and I have brought them through unhurt and unharmed, because it is a true saying: 'He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow (by interpretation under the protection) of the Almighty!' Aren't you glad! (So glad!' again came the joyous exclamation.) Now I will not say more at this time, but I want you to know you should not have a blow-out on your car, not any more than I do! It is wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Lo I will be with You! I thank you.
