"When You Find Man and His Origin, You Will Find GOD. Then When You Find GOD,
You Will Find HIM Coming in the Likeness of Man, Even as Man Came Firstly
in the Likeness of HIM."--- FATHER DIVINE

Our FATHER'S Message at the Banquet Table, Stone Ridge, New York, N.Y.
Friday, June 19, 1936 A.D.F.D., Time -- 9:00 P.M.

 

FATHER spoke as follows:

As far as you can enumerate, even so far can the blessings come, and as much as you can see out in the land of mathematics from a mathematical point of view, in the way of counting the blessings in number, even so can the blessings come forth into expression. From a psychological point of view, as you visualize limitations, lacks and wants, you produce the same; but to the reverse, as you visualize the abundance of the fullness, you also produce the same. You increase them and multiply them by giving thanks and giving praise.

FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE .

As I have often said, "Ask, and GOD will give; affirm before you see them, (that is to say, the blessings), and GOD will confirm." GOD is the confirmer of all of your affirmations. Anything you can affirm concerning HIM, GOD can confirm same by bringing it into realization -- into your conscious realization of it. It is made real as GOD is tangibilated. The things you now realize, they are no longer surmised, they are no longer imagined, but they are brought into your conscious realization by the tangibilization of that process going on by the great Confirmer and the Tangibilater. Oh, it is a privilege to realize it!

This is not merely talk to be reiterated, as the majority of the people consider. Many of them may consider it to be merely an abstract expression of words, as formulas for reiteration, for a continued repetition of words merely to be said, as the majority of the people do. But by the conscious recognition and the realization of GOD'S tangible Presence, GOD will bring into outer expression and into tangibilization that which you have desired -- that which you have merely surmised -- that which you have visualized, yea, even that which you have merely imagined. Every imagination can be brought into outer expression, through your conscious contact and realization of GOD'S Presence; firstly realizing, GOD as the materializer has actually personified HIMSELF that HE might also produce and personify every imagination if it is desired; if not personify it, GOD can and will materialize that which you can surmise. That which you can imagine, GOD can bring it into materialization, for GOD firstly brought into outer expression the materialization of the earth, when it was invisible, being void and without form, through the condescension of GOD and His Compassion to the creation of mankind.

 

GOD "Imaged" HIMSELF in Man

In the beginning of the creation the earth was void and without form, but GOD said,

'Let dry land appear'


and it appeared. This was one of the first outward expressions of GOD'S imagination being brought into materialization, for as GOD in His Own Majesty had imagined, or in other words "imaged" the likeness of HIMSELF in the likeness of expression commonly known as man, bringing this into outer expression it was essential for HIM to bring the invisible earth that was void and without form, being invisible, into materialization. HE spoke these words and the earth came into observation, and as the earth itself was materialized, from the materialization of the earth and the dust thereof, GOD formed the body of man, which was in His likeness and image.

The mystery of GOD is now revealed! GOD will bring into materialization and will materialize that which is the spiritual realm on the spiritual plane, that which is invisible, that which is immaterial. GOD will cause that which was merely spiritual and mental to be brought into materialization, tangibilated, materialized and personified. This is bringing into outer expression your fondest imagination. Happiness and every other desirable expression of good, of GOD, they are all invisible saving as GOD visibilates them by bringing them into visibilization and into outer expression through the materializing process of His Majesty.

GOD has brought into materialization your fondest imagination, because HE brought into materialization the invisible earth as it was in the beginning, absolutely invisible, void, impractical, unprofitable and good for nothing, for it was without form. But to make it profitable, practical and good for something, it was essential for GOD according to the Scripture, to bring it into materialization and actually materialize it, that HE might bring from the earth plane and from the dust thereof, a bodily form commonly known as man, in the likeness of the imaginary-ation or likeness of GOD. It is indeed Wonderful! By this, you do stand in the presence of the children of men. They cannot understand how could these things be, but you CAN, because you are here with ME. The mystery is revealed!

 

Coming in Likeness of Sinful Flesh

Men marvel at your version concerning GOD and His Presence. "How can GOD be a natural man?" some have said. How can man be visible, when even the earth from whence he came was invisible in the beginning? The earth was visibilated, for dry land appeared. It did not, or had not yet appeared when GOD said,

'Let dry land appear'


-- not until GOD said,

'Let dry land appear.'


The earth was not yet material, the earth was merely mental or spiritual. So it was with man, back in the creation of the earth, invisible in the invisibilization of the creation; he had not yet been brought to the surface for the consideration of GOD HIMSELF, your Maker. The earth was void or invisible; no record given that GOD had thought of man in consideration, until HE brought the earth into materialization, materialized it and tangibilated it and caused the earth to be visibilated, expressing itself as visible, tangible and a matter-like expression, according to the Scripture, from whence cometh forth the dust for the re-creation or for the creation of the body of man.

Then how can man be visible, if GOD cannot be visible as man? What business has man to be visible, any more than GOD has a business to be visible? GOD visibilated HIMSELF because HE has visibilated man according to the Scripture, HE firstly visibilated the earth, through which HE could bring man, and visibilated mankind, through which HE could bring HIMSELF.

'He came in the likeness of sinful flesh (man) for sin, to condemn sin in the flesh.'


The mystery is now revealed. GOD created man in His own image and likeness. His likeness was still invisible saving as HE expressed it in the outward expression and the materialization of mankind.

Then in the likeness and image of man, GOD came, for man was firstly created in the likeness and image of GOD. Therefore, CHRIST, in the likeness of sinful flesh came as a reaction of that which HE had created, expressed from His own creation, as the reproduction of HIMSELF into outer expression in the exact likeness of sinful flesh, in the likeness of man; but man was first created in the likeness and image of GOD. Now how can we get away from it? HE created man in His own image and likeness, yet His image and likeness were not observable until HE brought mankind into outer expression and tangibilated them. When HE tangibilated man, materialized man, and personified the creation of man, then in man's likeness and image CHRIST came, as an outward expression of man being made in the likeness and image of GOD.

Now they cannot understand it! It is transmittable, you see, it is reincarnatable, reproducible, it is vice versa. Changing corners, isn't it? (Laughter) Playing hide-and-go-seek! But when you find man and his origin, you will find GOD. Then when you find GOD, you will find HIM coming in the likeness of man, even as man came firstly in the likeness of HIM. So it goes on; the blessings of GOD being revealed and brought into outer expression on the material plane. How is this? Because you have unified yourselves with GOD your Creator, the Creator of all things. You have unified yourself with HIM by harmoniously thinking along these lines -- by refusing to think antagonistically or conflictingly; but by thinking harmoniously, you have put on the Nature and the Characteristics of HIM with Whom you have been thinking. It is Wonderful!

 

The Promised Land an Imagination Once

The glory of GOD is now revealed, and the Scripture is actually fulfilled. This is the Land of Promise in reality, tangibilated, made real, tangible and practical. The land is made practical, when it was void in the beginning and to this generation. Even up until I brought forth this Light into understanding, the Promised Land was merely a land of imagination, saving as the land over in Palestine where men believe the Children of Israel passed over the Jordan. But being an imagination, it was essential for you to live in your conscious imagination, honest, competent and true, until GOD could materialize and reproduce that which you had visualized concerning the Kingdom of GOD.

'Let thy kingdom come and thy will be done on earth'


bringing from the spiritual realm and from the spiritual plane all spiritual things; causing them to come down to the material plane to be made real, tangible and practical, legible and understandable.

(When FATHER ceased speaking and there was silence in heaven for the space of a few minutes, one of those at the Banquet Table arose, thanking FATHER for many blessings, especially for being in the Promised Land. He also said he had been called by some, "Truly Faithful" and he was asking FATHER if that was his real name. FATHER responded as follows:)

 

Name Means Nature

Name means Nature! The reproduction of such as may be called a name in the lives, words, deeds and actions of an individual and the materialization of such an expression by bringing such in that individual's nature, and the individual expressing it in words, deeds and actions by which that person may reflect it as a personality -- when it is expressed effectively, that is the person's name in reality.

'And they shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of God shall name.'


This does not necessarily mean I must Personally say what your name is, but the mouth of GOD, as an expression HE speaks through the hand of nature. The hand of nature is one of GOD'S mouthpieces. Name means nature. By the production of the nature an individual as a person produces, GOD is telling them and telling others what that person is named by the reproduction of the nature of such an expression, whatsoever that person expresses by nature. It is indeed Wonderful!

In Hebrew the word name means nature. Therefore, when you produce any of these characteristics and establish yourself in them and cause yourself as a person to be the expresser of such an expression through the reproduction of such, that your personality will be identified in such an expression, that is your nature and that is your name. It is indeed Wonderful! It is Wonderful! It is a privilege to realize it -- to realize everything is pure and real when it comes through the birth of Spirit in reality. It will not have germs of materiality or mortality upon it, but will be pure, incorruptible and undefiled, for it is that which is in reality born of GOD.

When CHRIST told Nicodemus,

'You must be born again'


-- you must be born out of that Adamic state of consciousness, out of the mortal state of expression completely, and become to be a new creature by putting on the CHRIST characteristics, the CHRIST nature, in its entirety. Therefore, you will have a new name, a new nature. You will be a new creature physically, because you have been changed from nature to grace; in other words, from mortality to immortality. That is the mystery!

 

No Longer Identified by Infirmities

When this is accomplished, the infirmities of your own -- of your past life -- and your iniquities, and the infirmities and iniquities of your ancestors and others connected, will not be able to identify you. They will not be able to find you! Even if they could find you, they would not be able to identify you, for you will be a new creature expressly, and you will lose your identity completely.

That is why My followers are healed instantaneously, for they put on new characteristics, new dispositions, new ways, new ideas and new opinions. They put on a new nature completely! They are changed from mortality to immortality mentally and spiritually, and their physical bodies express it in actions and in the sense of thinking, in the sense of expressing, in the sense of characteristics or nature. Therefore, the infirmities lose hold on them because the infirmities have no more claim on them than they have on another person, for they are not the old persons, they are new creatures. Having put off the old man with all of his deeds, and having put on the new man in whom you should live, you are new creatures and new creatures indeed, for I have declared,

'If you continue in my words . . . you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free,'


for

'He that the Son sets free, is free indeed.'


That is the mystery.

Live in this recognition! It is a matter of impossibility for the infirmities of your predecessors to reach you. If they reach you, they will not lay hold of you because they can no longer identify you as that old person, neither as the one from the lineage from whence you supposedly came. But you are a new creature and will only be seen as a new creature, as you live in this new light of understanding, by having a new nature and new characteristics completely. Just think of it!

 

Lifted from Undesirable Conditions

You have been taught from your early existence in mortal consciousness to be changed from nature to grace, to be born again, etc., but you did not know in reality you would be changed from nature to grace, from the mortal state of consciousness to the Divine Mind and the Divine Consciousness, and be a new creature in reality. By this you have been lifted. You can say as you have sung,

'From sinking sand He lifted me, with tender hands He lifted me,
From shades of night to planes of light, O praise His name, He lifted me!'


You are lifted from depressions, lacks and wants and limitations; you are lifted from the oppressions of the oppressors; you are lifted from segregation; you are lifted from hardships and all sorts of undesirable conditions, for GOD has truly lifted you. Now isn't that Wonderful! They cannot understand how these things be, to learn and to know what GOD had done for you.

From those undesirable expressions and conditions you have been lifted. Sickness and afflictions, and oppressions and adverse and undesirable conditions from every way of expression, all of those things you have been cleansed from and lifted from those undesirable conditions, hence, you have become to be new creatures in reality. The infirmities of your own -- those infirmities, sicknesses and afflictions and other weaknesses with your iniquities, cannot find you in this recognition. If they do, they cannot identify you.

 

The Fount and Source of Supply

This is also Evangelical, exactly according to the Gospel.

'Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.'
'In that you die, you die unto sin; in that you live, you live unto God.'


Now don't you see it is the fulfillment of the Scripture? You merely die to sin, to your old Adamic state of consciousness, the old disposition, the old ways, the old ideas and opinions, the old creature, the old creation of your physical system, and your mental realm.

Dying completely, you become to be a new creature and new creatures as many, by taking on the CHRIST characteristics and by putting off your old infirmities, by becoming to be unified with CHRIST mentally, and harmonizing with Him, now, henceforth and forever. Now you can plainly see, CHRIST is rich and all you need. If perchance inspiration is desired, inspiration can be supplied. If perchance information is desired from an educational point of view, all of these things GOD has in storehouse for you. Now isn't that Wonderful! "Christ is rich and all you need."

'The Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good, no space is vacant of the fullness thereof.'


Do you not see the fullness wheresoever I AM? Because you are conscious of GOD and you are conscious of good, therefore you see the reproduction of the conscious conviction and realization of good. By visualizing the fullness thereof, the reproduction of the same takes place in your experience. Oh, it is a privilege to realize it, and to live in it, and to be substantiated in faith and unshaken in confidence; to be steadfast and unmovable, always abiding in the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD. By being conscious of GOD'S Presence and being convinced GOD has been tangibilated, by such a conscious conviction and realization you are in the Consciousness of GOD'S Presence, and you are in the Spirit of the Consciousness of it. When you are in the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD, you are at the Fount and the Source of all supply. Now isn't that wonderful, that the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD is the Source of all supply and will, and it shall, and it does satisfy every good desire.

 

Visible Abundance

Substantiate yourself in it! Relax! Let go! And by such a recognition you will find, the relaxation of the conscious mentality is but the reconception of the seed idea and opinion of that which is essential, it matters not what it is. Relax your conscious mentality! You are trusting GOD if you do it, and by relaxing your conscious mentality, you are reconceiving the idea and the opinion that it is essential for your redemption.

I need not say more. I believe I have said enough to stir up your pure minds and cause you to feel, as well as realize, the Actual Presence of GOD. As the limitlessness of GOD'S infiniteness is manifested on the mental and spiritual planes, even so the limitlessness of GOD'S Infiniteness and Love and Mercy and every other blessing, they are exhibited and manifested on the material plane. Why should one be in lacks and wants? Why should one be in limitations? Why should one be fretting or worrying concerning the mystery, when GOD is Ever Present and GOD is the Author and the Finisher, and GOD is the Creator and the Maker of every good and desirable blessing? Oh, it is indeed Wonderful!

If this were mere talk, you would have a right to stop, but since it is brought into outer expression as a visible abundance, it should be convincing to all people, to do what GOD has done for you and for all humanity. The blessings we are now enjoying could not have been brought into expression saving by the conscious recognition of GOD'S Presence. Fear and doubts would have prohibited it, for you could not have brought them into consideration saving by the Consciousness of GOD'S Presence. Had you not been conscious of GOD'S Presence, you would have been afraid to make the adventure. Had you not been conscious of GOD being your protection, you would not have attempted it. Now isn't that Wonderful!

(FATHER paused again for a few moments, and Rev. Harrison F. Lamb, who was at the Banquet Table, remarked: "Peace FATHER, I wish the whole nation could have heard YOU tonight . . . They would have been convinced once and forever." Then FATHER proceeded:)

It is Wonderful! And this is only a slight sketch and a reflection of a percent of a percent of a percent of a fraction of a grain of what GOD has in storehouse for the children of men. If it would have been possible for the Reverend here to have gone around and seen some of our real places -- some of the other places -- while he was up here, I believe he would have enjoyed it. It is indeed Wonderful! Olive Bridge and all of those places down there, where all of the cows and the pigs and chickens and other stock are! It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! Other places down there as far as you can see! It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful!

 

True and Faithful More Determined

It is only a matter of time, and all mankind shall see and know, there is no other hope. Just as I have it on My immediate staff, so shall I have it the universe over. The opposers and critics, and My opponents may endeavor to prohibit it, but every opposition causes My Spirit to be more persistent, and causes My Mind in My true and faithful to be more determined. Now the harnessing of the mentality of the true and the faithful through that which is commonly known as religion, was not merely for the purpose of an expression commonly known as fanaticism, but as I said the other day through the press- in other words the press said (they thought they said it, but I was speaking it in them) -- "This is not merely to be looked upon now as 'I thank YOU FATHER' and pat your hands and go ahead. It is something to consider!"

The persistence of My followers, with their ambition to endeavor, and the endeavor of their ambition to accomplish, will cause them to be more persistent and courageous in their endeavors than they would have been, or any other person could be, because they know they have the Almighty with them! It is Wonderful! As I often say, when you get the bit in the horses's mouth you can turn his whole body about. Millions of believers have been harnessed and brought into subjection by the Spirit of the Consciousness of GOD'S Presence. By such a conscious conviction through this great conversion, they are controlled scientifically and yet intelligently. Therefore they will use their energy and their mentality constructively instead of destructively and fanatically.

Just look at it, how the Intelligence of GOD as an outward expression is manifested in these audiences, although being filled with enthusiasm and persistence to do My biddings, as a ship is steered in the positive direction in the way of deeper depths and higher heights of the Light of understanding of the living, to be used constructively, intelligently and every other desirable way of expression. Because it is and can be used this way, the enthusiasm you have, and the more persistence you have, and the more you devout you be, the nearer and more real will My Mission be. The nearer it will be to the perfected state of expression. Even in you it will be convincing to those who have opposed heretofore, for where nothing else could help, it was Love found you.

 

Lift up a Standard

Now look at the outward expression of My Mission going forth conquering and to conquer, which has unified all nations, languages, tongues and people together as one man at Jerusalem, where there will be no division; yet there will be an outward expression of the perfection of modesty and morality manifested, where the critics will not have grounds to criticize, neither will they have grounds nor space nor place in their consideration to ignore such an expression, for it will be noteworthy and will command the attention of men and women in all walks of life.

When you know you are right, go ahead; and after having done all to stand, then stand! Lift up a Standard for all humanity as a sample and as an example for them, that they may copy after the fashion I AM showing them, and they too, as well as you will become to be inspired by your presence through the transmission of My Spirit, as My Spirit will transmit the inspiration to them by you coming in contact with them. Now isn't that Wonderful! I haven't said anything yet to what I will say! I have not done anything yet to what I will do! I shall do a hundred times as much next year, as what I have done and will do this year.

Just look at the unfoldment! It speaks for itself! As I often say, the outward expression is but the mental and spiritual conception. Your mental and spiritual conceptions, after having given birth to them, will be manifested on the outward and in the outer as well as from the within. "Cleanliness is next to godliness" -- that is a common phrase. This recognition will qualify you morally and socially, by expressing the cleanliness of GOD.

 

Such a Consideration a Blessing

Oh it is a privilege to realize the Presence of GOD.

'And his name shall be called Immanuel, being interpreted, God is with us.'


Truly might have Nicodemus said,

'No man can do these things, except God be with him.'


Nicodemus was convinced that GOD was with Him. Although he did not know that He was GOD, he was convinced that no man could do these things except GOD be with him. Therefore he caught the inspiration of the prediction of the Scripture,

'His name shall be called Immanuel, being interpreted, God is with us.'


Therefore it was convincing to Nicodemus by inspiration, to observe all these things Jesus was doing. It gave Nicodemus an inspiration to know GOD was with Jesus. Of course it was true, it was essential for Nicodemus to be born out of that state of expression into a higher light of understanding; therefore it was essential for him to be born into a greater conviction to observe Him as He was. To observe CHRIST, I mean to say, as He was. Oh it is a privilege to realize it!

GOD in the midst of you is mighty to save. When you can even consider GOD is with you, or even so much as with another person, such a consideration is a blessing. It is a blessing to consider GOD is with you or with any other person, just to consider it. When you consider that GOD is with a person, or GOD is with you, it causes doubts and fears to dispel, it gives you courage and a determination, it causes you to be persistent in your ambition, it causes you to realize if GOD is with you or with them, whatsoever HE wills, HE can and HE will do for you, for HE is with you. It is Wonderful!

 

The Kingdom of CHRIST Wheresoever He Reigns

Just look at the limitless blessings! You do not have room to receive them. It is written,

'Try me and see if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out such blessings, there will not be room to receive it.'


Wheresoever GOD is and is recognized to be, there blessings will come, if you can really convince yourself in reality GOD is there, and will bring your body and your affairs into subjection. CHRIST will take you and those things under His care. It is an expression that would or could be called by the materialists, a superstition or supposition, nevertheless such a supposition and such a superstition is made a reality as you observe it vividly, and sincerely believe it. It is a state of consciousness. Therefore GOD will take you under His care in that state of consciousness mentally, as long as you will accept HIM as being Present and will exalt HIM supremely.

In conclusion, the statement for consideration,

'Wheresoever a king reigns, there is where his kingdom is.'


If CHRIST is elected mentally and spiritually on the throne of the mind of any person or persons, or group of persons, and will have supreme control over them and over their affairs, there is where the Kingdom is, for CHRIST is reigning King there. Now is not that Wonderful! If CHRIST reigns King anywhere, here, there, or wheresoever it may be, there is where His Kingdom is. Hence, if you desire to have the Kingdom of GOD in you and in your affairs, and desire for the Kingdom of GOD to be in all you say or do, CHRIST will have dominion over you by having full control over you and over your affairs. Then and there all things are brought into subjection to HIM and His Kingdom has truly come, and His Will there, will also be done. Now is not that Wonderful!

By this we shall have a Righteous Government. By this great conversion converting your minds, all of your mentality and your physical bodies being converted by the great conversion of your mind and your affairs -- CHRIST having dominion there and having been enthroned on the throne of your mind -- the Kingdom there and then has truly come, for there is where CHRIST shall reign alone, where He has been recognized as supreme and shall have been enthroned on the mind. It is Wonderful! "Christ is rich and all you need." Oh, it is Wonderful!

 

Manifested According to State of Mind

It is a wonderful thought to realize, it is a state of mind or a state of consciousness that causes conditions to be as they are. A certain state of mind can cause a person to be physically and personally perturbed and dissatisfied and worried in every way. Now a state of mind as a reversal of such an expression can cause a person to be to the extreme reverse of those negative conditions. Then if that can be manifested in you as a person, do you not see, the reality of your version concerning GOD and concerning heaven can be visibly manifested? It can, it does, and it will be continually manifested according to the state of mind, according to the state of consciousness wherein you stand whichever.

By placing CHRIST in your consciousness and in your consideration from the mental realm, and by electing the CHRIST as Lord of lords and King of kings, and taking the words of Jesus and His nature and His Body as the Sample and the Example, it is a matter of impossibility for you to be a failure. By living according to same, the very Presence of GOD with such a recognition will produce an harmonious condition. Because you are recognizing GOD'S Presence, harmony will be created, for harmony is heaven. And as the "other fellow" will create confusion wheresoever he goes, even so will CHRIST create harmony wheresoever HE goes and wheresoever HE has full control. Wheresoever harmony is created by HE having full control there, HE being the Creator of harmony, His Kingdom will be manifested, and wheresoever it is manifested with such a recognition, there would be harmonious conditions continually.

You will have harmony in the physical body! Your physical body will not be inharmonious to your feeling, and your feeling will not be inharmonious to your physical body. Neither will your sense of thoughts or thinking condemn your physical body by the condemnation of the expression of the inharmony that inharmonious thinking will create, for those conditions will have no longer an existence in your system, therefore they cannot express those things. Now is not that Wonderful?

 

No Other Kingdom to Come

Take these thoughts to consideration. Dial in on the Fundamental continually, and lo, I will be with you if you will live it and express it by being conscious of GOD'S Presence and by allowing your conscious conviction to be so far convincing to your conscious mentality that your will will be that CHRIST would have access in you and in all, and would have full control over you, your affairs, your body and your soul. By such a conscious conviction and recognition and a willingness to do so, there is where GOD'S Kingdom will be, and there will be no other to come.

Now there may apparently be other places coming into expression where GOD will have dominion, but there will be no other Kingdom for there is but one real Kingdom; even though there may be many departments or expressions and unfoldments of the Kingdom as GOD manifests them in the different places -- other expressions and the different angles of expression -- but there will be no other Kingdom to come for there is but one. The Kingdom of GOD is wheresoever GOD reigns supreme. There is where His Kingdom is.

'The earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof;'


but until GOD has full control over your spirit, your mind, your body and your soul, there will still be a lack of full protection and the fullness of the manifestation of GOD'S Kingdom. But when you shall have surrendered all completely, once and forever, then and there GOD'S Kingdom will be brought into effect and GOD HIMSELF will be ruling on the throne of your mind, and CHRIST will be reigning as Lord of lords and King of kings, as the grand Principle of life over you and over your affairs.

 

Weigh Everything with Mind of CHRIST

Now you can do that wheresoever you go. It is every individual's privilege to do it. Elect the CHRIST as Lord of lords and King of kings in you and in and over your affairs, and over all things that concern you. Weigh everything on the scale of justice, which is CHRIST'S mind, to see what JESUS the CHRIST would have to say about it. Be governed by your highest intuition. If you have relaxed your conscious mentality completely, and have detached yourself from every mental contact with mortality and concentrated your whole ambition, your mind, and your prayerful attention on CHRIST once and forever -- if you do, your highest intuition will lead you in the positive direction and it will be a matter of impossibility for you to be a failure, for GOD HIMSELF will be with you and will lead you through the valley of the shadow of death, and every other expression, but His rod and his staff with you will be your Comforter, and naught will be able to hurt nor harm you. I thank you.

 

A Place Where Trials Cannot Come

Oh that everybody could see it! It is just so vivid, it is so legible. Just think of it -- how you can enter into the place where the trials of the world cannot come, the same as the composition of a song has said,

'I have started out to find a better home,
Where the trials of this world cannot come,
With my relatives and kin, I'll be so happy then,
in the Presence of my Lord all the time.'


You would be happy to bring CHRIST in your life and in your affairs once and forever in every way expressible, and enthrone HIM as Lord of lords and King of kings in every issue and in every expression for Righteousness' sake. Dethrone every other suggestion and every other suggestor, and let CHRIST be exalted and every other be abased. Allow CHRIST to be enthroned and every other dethroned. If this is done, wheresoever you are, the Kingdom shall have truly come and you will be at home with GOD.

Now there is the place to be! Then if you are functioning on the material plane from any angle expressible, GOD having dominion over you and over your affairs, you will find the Kingdom of GOD right there with peace and pleasure and victory, for the CHRIST from one angle of expression fought through forty-two different generations and never lost a battle. This was an expression, I may say Scripturally speaking, of the mystery of your victory and others' victory as individuals, how CHRIST in you and in your affairs directly would give you the victory over every negative condition. That is why HE fought through the different generations, parably speaking of the mystery of your present individual victory you would receive as individuals.

 

Victory Through Forty-two Generations

Being victorious through the different generations, in that very act of His duty and expression, HE was telling you HE would in you and in others be victorious from every angle. You could not be a failure if you recognize GOD'S Presence and allow CHRIST to rule in you supremely, as HE won through all of the different generations. In this affirmation, in GOD'S confirmation of His victory as was predicted through the Scripture, by the coming through forty-two generations carrying with HIMSELF the victory, never losing a battle, HE was plainly telling you in the act of His duty by coming through the different generations never losing a battle, with victory, HE would have victory in you and in every other individual that would allow HIM to rule and to reign in them supremely.

You cannot lose! It is a matter of impossibility! A matter of impossibility to be a failure if you allow CHRIST to rule and reign in you supremely, for the prediction of it and the verification of it, before it does come to pass in you, it was verified by the CHRIST in and through the forty-two different generations getting the victory. It was verified even before you re-predicted it, before I Myself re-predicted it as I AM predicting it now. It was verified by the CHRIST in the forty-two different generations, by giving the victory to HIMSELF in every issue and in every expression, to let you and even this generation know, wheresoever CHRIST is and has full access, HE will have the victory over whatsoever is contrary or is difficult.

Now I will not bore you longer! I will soon make My seeming departure! But these thoughts have been conveyed that you might realize, you are on the victory side! You cannot fail, if you so abide. I thank you.
