The remark is so often heard in the Orthodox Christian Churches, and even among the followers of Truth, "I cannot understand how GOD could have permitted so-and-so to die ... she was as good a woman as ever lived," or "he was as good a man as ever lived, and here am I, a sinner all my days, alive and healthy."

However, In every case of physical death there is a mental and spiritual first cause, and always when the truth is known it will be found that the individual violated some of GOD'S Laws. There is a well known saying, "Appearances are deceiving," and the Gospel declares,

'He who confesseth his sins and forsaketh them shall have mercy but he who covers his sins shall not prosper.'


Dealing with this matter, FATHER spoke stressfully from, the depths of HIS Omniscience in the presence of thousands at HIS New York City Headquarters, Sunday, February 21st, 1937. The most critical listener among the many visitors could recognize HIS Words as Spirit and as Life, as FATHER instructed HIS followers In the Way of Life, but to the true believers they were the Words of GOD Almighty HIMSELF in HIS Beautiful Bodily Form, that were heard as follows. Thank YOU, FATHER

 

FATHER speaks as follows:

PEACE, EVERYONE! Good Health, Good Will, and a Good Appetite; a heart full of Merriness, your bodies filled with enthusiasm, and your minds with the understanding of the Infinite One.

While sitting, I thought a little while ago how marvelous it is to get out of the world of the mortal versions of things. In the mortal versions you will find your enemies, and those enemies are of your own household. It has long since been said, and I AM here to verify the same, "The worst enemy you have is that one of your own household."

While sitting I thought how marvelous it is you all can rejoice and be filled with the Spirit of enthusiasm over and above every. mortal version, and shout in the Glorious Liberty of the Sons of GOD. But on the other hand, there are those who are unified together with the mortal mind and mortal connections, for selfishness, selfish fancies and selfish pleasures, for graft and greed and for other such selfish expressions -they cannot be in this place where we stand, above the mortal versions of the children of men, in that place where trials and tribulations cannot come.

 

Hovered Under GOD'S Protection

While thinking from that angle I thought of all of My real followers, not one of them would be on the welfare. Not one of MY real followers would belong to an insurance, neither would they belong to a fraternity, lodge or anything of that sort for the purpose of self-protection in the time of trials and tribulations, in the time of accidents, disappointments and failures, for all of these different expressions are paving out the way for trials and tribulations, and if you pave the way for them they must needs come. So I was thinking how marvelous it is for you to be hovered as GOD declared through Jesus,

'as a hen hovers her brood!'


At the time of Jesus as a Person, the children of Jerusalem, in other words, those in and around Jerusalem would not allow Christ in the Name of Jesus to hover them as a hen hovers her brood, but I AM pleased to say at this time there are millions and millions being hovered

'as a hen hovers her brood,'


coming under the Personal Jurisdiction of Him Who liveth forever, where they can find their refuge, their strength and their protection, and "Where GOD the Son forever reigns and scatters night away." By thus being hovered, and as one under the sheltering of a mighty rock, the floods and storms may come, the trials and tribulations of every kind,. but those of you who, are founded upon this Rock you cannot and will not be shaken, and if you are hid in the Rock you cannot be disturbed by the storms that may arise.

 

Let GOD Be True

You are undisturbed regardless to what may come, where you may, go, for you do remember the Scripture, as was the experience of one whom we may call your attention to Lot. As he left the city of destruction, his wife looked back for those of her relatives, her friends and her kin, and she turned to a pillar of salt. It is life to press on, it is death to look back.

'Choose you this day whom you shall serve.'


Will you serve GOD or man? Relatives and kin, they are not your friends, but to the extreme reverse according to MY Version - that which is substantiated in MY Mentality - they are your worst enemies. But what says the Scripture In the name of GOD?

'Let all men be liars but let God be true.'


Every person among you - all your relatives and kin - that will pass out and pass on after the manner of the mortal versions of men, they will tell you in words, deeds or in actions, that GOD is a liar and they are truthful. They will attempt in words, deeds and actions to prove to you conclusively that they are truthful, and still they will go on to the grave as they have been. going, ignoring completely what Jesus said.

Now every time one can convince you subconsciously or consciously that they are good, and yet they die, they are proving to you in your Version that Christ is a liar.

'Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man keep MY Saying he shall never see death.'


Jot these thoughts down In your vocabularies, for those of your teachers, and leaders, and preachers, and readers will lead you in the way of destruction and cause your bodies to see corruption unnecessarily and erroneously because of the lack of the understanding of the Truth and because of selfishness they, have inculcated in their hearts and in their lives, and transmitted the same to you.

These thoughts are well worth considering. Lift up your heads that hang down and look out on the field, for the field truly is white,

'The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few.'


All men in the mortal version, those of their respective connections, so long as they live in mortal consciousness they are enemies to the cause of Christ and will cause you to say in words, deeds or in actions that GOD is a liar and you and yours are truthful. But what says the Scripture?

'Let all men be liars but let God be true.'


Prove the Gospel truth even in opposition to your own personal feelings, your own personal fancies, tendencies and pleasures, and recognize GOD as the only Truth and as the only truthful Person.

Build upon this Foundation, be substantiated in faith and unshaken in confidence. When trials and tribulations come by the mortal versions of men and by the "other fellow" using bodies of flesh to condemn, you will stand firm. and make your declaration known,

'GOD alone shall reign'


and I do not mean maybe! Let your declaration be made known, GOD alone shall reign in your heart and in your mind, and GOD alone shall be ,supreme as Lord of lords and King of kings in your heart and in your mind and in your understanding. This is the Reign of Christ. It is not necessary to say, "I believe GOD and I know HE shall reign," unless HE can reign supremely in your hearts and in your mind and in you and in your affairs, as Lord of lords. and King of kings, there as well as here.

When this shall have been established in you once, you need not fret nor worry. You will see and know conclusively, all other grounds are sinking sand. You will not build upon a foundation that can be shaken, but you will be substantiated in faith and unshaken in confidence and you will let all of the preachers and the teachers, and let all of the metaphysicians and the practitioners and leaders, and everybody that is in mortal consciousness, be liars, but to you GOD will be true. Now isn't that Wonderful!

Upon this foundation if you will stand, you will be the fulfillers, of the Scripture as it has quoted this especial quotation,

'God in one man is the majority.'


GOD in one man is the majority. Therefore you will allow GOD to overbalance everything else In your consciousness. When you allow GOD to rise and reign supremely on the throne of your mind, you will dethrone everything else in your mentality saving that which is in perfect harmony with HIM.

 

Your Worst Enemy Is Your Own Household

I mention this because the Bible declares the worst enemy you have is that of your own house- hold -

'The arms of flesh will fail you, you dare not trust your own.'


The "other fellow" will Inculcate and reincarnate himself in bodies of flesh for you to lean upon those bodies of flesh, that they might fail you and undermine you of righteousness, joy and peace, and health, and prohibit you from inheriting Eternal Life, the Gift of GOD to you I AM bringing.

Oh, It Is a privilege to observe the truth concerning the mystery. The worst enemy is that of your own household. Those who call themselves your friends, when one is a failure by some misunderstanding or ignorance or ignorant act whichever, you can see there are those who are called your friends will attempt to substantiate you in the faith in that one that has been a failure, as an expression for a mental and spiritual conception to express a doubt within yourself when you re-conceive such an Idea that has gone out from someone else. Now isn't that Wonderful! They will rob you out of joy, they will rob you out of happiness. they will rob you out of your peace and hence rob you out of your pleasure, because they will rob you out of your success and rob you out of your prosperity, and cause you to become to be a real failure. Therefore, no longer can you be successful when you indulge in the mortal versions.

Why is it men are failures? It is because of the mortal versions. If you are filled with the Spirit of enthusiasm and recognize GOD'S real Presence, and deny the reality of another who, is not in perfect harmony with you,. you will find yourselves filled with enthusiasm, and joy and peace and happiness even as David declared It,

'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.'


You can see, those who have walked through the valley, those who are walking through this land, if you will allow ME to be with you I will comfort you, I will keep you and naught will be able to harm you for "Lo, I am with you." These are the -Words of GOD as inspired and given through David by inspiration. As it was given to him and through him it has been transmitted and imparted to others, that they might be partakers of the Promise and enjoy the blessings GOD had for them.

 

Those Living In the Flesh Are Liars

'Let all men be liars, but let God be true.'


Make out every man a liar if he is not in perfect harmony with you, that is, if you are in harmony with GOD. Now isn't that Wonderful! Make them out a liar and a big liar! Oh, It is something to consider! The biggest lie a person can tell is that one everybody else is telling. It is so big it covers the universe and fills the mortal minds of the children of men, each and all of them who are living in the flesh. That is such a big lie. Therefore that big lie getting in a person and causing that person to tell such a big lie and express it so vividly, you know that he's a big liar because he is expressing the biggest lie that has ever been told.

'Let all men be liars but let God be true.'


The mortal version will rob you out of your houses and your homes, will rob you out of your comfort and your convenience, by robbing you firstly mentally and by causing you to become to be doubters of what the Almighty has declared to you.

Then I say cast every mortal version out of your concepts. Purge yourselves of all filthiness of the flesh, every mortal versionated idea and opinion and substantiate yourselves in the Spirit of the Consciousness of GOD'S Presence, and the Spirit of GOD'S Presence will be with you convincingly and others may be convinced by HIS Presence in you, that GOD is a Living Factor and a Savior and Redeemer among them.

How do these conditions come? Little by little. The mortal version will tell you one thing and then it will tell you another. It will tell you, "Why, it is no harm to belong to an insurance, because you have a right to protect yourself." You have a right to lean on the arms of flesh, and you have a right to be a failure. Every one of you who will lean on the arms of flesh, you will all be failures. I have declared it!

 

Free From Undesirable Conditions

My real followers will not play numbers. They will not play horse races. They will not bet, nor gamble, or any such expression, for they will Praise GOD wholeheartedly and rely on the Fundamental regardless to the oppositions. Oh, it is a privilege to be free from these undesirable conditions; free from these undesirable conditions by relying on the Fundamental and being persistent in your ambition, and trusting GOD wholeheartedly.

The Lord is your Shepherd. I have brought HIM all the way down from David to you. Firstly I showed you conclusively, David declared the Lord was his Shepherd and he should not or shall not want, said he. But I have brought HIM all the way down from you to ME and from ME to you, that I might declare to you, the Lord Is your Shepherd and you shall not want. I believe the majority of the people who have heard and. read of ME are convinced at this juncture that the majority of MY followers are above wants and lacks and limitations. You do not see them wanting, for the Lord is their Shepherd and they shall not want. So long as they walk in the Light I have given, and be subject to the Spirit of MY Leading, and be governed by their highest intuition, the Lord is your Shepherd and is their Shepherd, and you shall not want.

Oh, it is a privilege to be under the Banner of GOD as being termed by the Christian Religion, under the Banner of Jesus - under the Banner of the Free where Christ has brought your real Liberty through this great Emancipation. Isn't that a privilege, dear ones? The word Peace as a salutation, is an outward expression of our declaring our real emancipation. Mankind shall realize, those of you who say Peace and say it sincerely, you can and will express your freedom, for I have brought your real emancipation, and as the Emancipator came and manifested HIMSELF as the Emancipator from sin, vice and from crimes, and from debauchery of every kind, HE also brought you to the conscious realization that HE was not only the Emancipator but truly, GOD your FATHER is the Universal Educator, bringing all illiterate people and those who are not altogether illiterate to the schools to train your mental conscious mentality that you might be humanly intelligent to meet the issues of life.

 

Not Confined to Religious World

Because your real Emancipator is also your Educator and gave you freedom from the sins and the vices of men, then HE comes forth into expression giving you your social advancement in the Kingdom of Heaven, that mankind might realize GOD is not bound nor confined to that which is termed the religious world alone, but as GOD is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent HE came to meet all men on whatsoever grounds they may be found. Meeting them on their respective grounds, speaking to them in their respective languages, therefore through HIS condescension HE speaks in your emotional, and social, and expressible, and professional language, that all mankind collectively might understand HIM. Oh, it is a privilege to be under, the Banner of the Free and be the Children of the King, where your real Emancipator has truly come and your Emancipator is your Educator, Who shall give you a real education.

Rise above the mortal versions of men! Revel into the glorious Liberty of the Sons of GOD! Relax your conscious mentality, your conscious concepts concerning material things and the mental limited concept of the children of men! Even though you may be least among them it has long since been declared and I verify the same.

'The least among you the same shall be great.'
'Has not GOD taken the dumb things of this world to confound the wise?'


I shall not be discouraged, neither shall I be confusingly nor antagonistically disturbed, until I shall have brought all things into subjection and cause all mankind to realize and to recognize GOD'S Actual Presence as the confounder of all human intelligence.

As I often say to MY Students when they turn in their cards for MY Signature, I say at times, and the most of the time I say it, I say, "Now, you want ME to bother with some more foolishness." Whensoever they get their diplomas they desire to have MY Signature, and if I give them MY Signature, why, they feel happy to realize they have MY endorsement, as well as the principal's of the school. Now Isn't that Wonderful! Nevertheless I say, In accord with the quotation of the Scripture, "Here I AM," you are calling MY attention to some more foolishness. It has long since been declared, and I verify the same, the wisdom of this world is foolishness to GOD, and the Foolishness of GOD in wiser than men. So be not weary nor be annoyed at MY foolishness If I express folly at times. for the Spirit of MY Presence is actually meeting the conscious mentality of the children of men that I might harness them and bring them Into subjection to HIM Who Liveth forever and forever, that I might teach them Wisdom they have not received such Wisdom as they are not getting in the mortal version of the human teaching.

Oh, it is a privilege to be able to speak in all languages - to speak In the language of those who are in folly as an expresser, that they might understand it. Truly might have one declared once again I AM verifying the Identical expression that had been declared by another

'I become as all men that I might gain the more.'


It is a privilege, dear ones, to observe it, and as you observe the unfoldment of the mystery within ME, I AM a Sample and as an Example for you that you might copy after this Fashion I AM showing you daily, and you will advance scientifically, invention-ally, and intellectually until you will be able to compete with all persons and people.

 

How to Advance Spiritually

But remember, if you desire to advance scientifically, intellectually, socially, and especially spiritually, such an advancement as the average person does not get through human intellect, if you desire to advance spiritually you must relax your conscious mentality, still yourselves individually, socially, professionally, and from every limited mortal angle of expression, and refuse to be subject to the mortal versions of men, to orthodoxy and to their teachings and theories and doctrines, that you might enter into this Light of understanding, the Spirit of GOD'S Actual Presence, into this Heaven where I AM dwelling.

So long as you are depending on, insurances and other mortal tendencies and failing to trust ME wholeheartedly, it is a matter of impossibility for you to receive all of the desired results, especially when the expression of opposition comes. When that expression of opposition commonly known as the "last enemy" comes, it takes all of your concentrated thought and your wholehearted sacrifice to GOD to bring you your real deliverance by trusting GOD wholeheartedly and relying on the Fundamental.

There an many more things I could say, but I believe I have said enough to cause you to think, and to look out on the field, for the field is white, the harvest truly is ripe, but the laborers are few. I have already thrust In MY sickle and I have begun to reap. I shall reap on the right, I shall continue to reap on the left as well as the right. I shall reap your bodies and I shall reap your minds, but unless you allow ME to reap them from you in consciousness, if you wait until you are unconscious it may be to late. These thoughts are well worth considering. Your conscious consideration is the great essential, if you would consciously consider and no longer live in the valley of decision and recognize GOD'S Presence and consciously consider immediately by bringing your bodies into subjection and denying your mortal version, and denying everybody else's.

 

Mind and Attention is Your Heart

Then I say, it is essential for you to give ME your mind and your attention, your love and your devotion, all of your ideas and your opinions, and to concentrate them on the Fundamental continuously, that you might have victory in the time of trials, that you might overcome every difficulty when trials shall come. That is the only way you can overcome. It has often been thought, 'Why is it FATHER stresses the significance of your mind and your attention, and your ideas and your opinions so vividly?" It is because your mind and your attention, and all of your mentality, consists of your heart. If you do not give ME your mind and your attention completely, your love and devotion, your ideas and your opinions, and all of your mentality, you have not given ME your heart. In other words, unless you do this you cannot give ME your heart. In other words, unless you have done it you have not given ME your heart.

You cannot give GOD your heart, or anyone else, unless you give them your mind and your attention, your love and your devotion, your ideas and your opinions, all concentrated or centered on the Fundamental. When you shall have done this, then and there you shall have given that on whatsoever you are concentrating wholeheartedly from a mental point of view - you shall have given both it and them that may be actually the ones, your heart. Oh, it is a privilege.

It has long since been declared, and it is to be verified again - this I AM verifying daily as I AM stressing the mystery of MY Presence -

'In perfect peace I'll keep thee whose mind is staid on ME.'


If your mind is stayed on the Fundamental, on the Name of GOD, the Perfect Picture namely, you will be keeping your mind so charged with the magnetic current of GOD'S Infiniteness, you will be filled with enthusiasm and you will be in Perfect Peace. I thank you.

 

Part II

TIME- 3:15 P.M.

As I said some time ago, I charge MYSELF with the magnetic current of GOD'S Infiniteness, and cause MY followers to concentrate on ME vividly. Through the transmission of the concentration they are partakers of MY Nature and MY Characteristics. Therefore they will speak it and act it. I will preach Christ in Words; I AM preaching Christ in Words; but I AM preaching Christ more vividly in deeds and in actions by charging MY very Name with the magneticness of MY. Infiniteness, causing you to concentrate on it vividly. Through your vivid concentration the transmission of the Spirit of it, and MY Characteristics, will be unto you. Isn't that Wonderful!

Men wonder and marvel at the mystery of the influence I have over the millions. It is because of concentration and because of the reproduction and the development and the unfoldment of the desirableness of the Infinite. When this shall have been established in any Individual, that Infiniteness of the Infinite One when it is magnetically manifested in the individual it will attract others and draw them to it mentally as well as spiritually, and spiritually as well as mentally, and physically as well as mentally. Therefore they will come boldly, bodily to the Throne of Grace and they will harmonize with you in everything you do or say.

That is why you harmonize with ME; it is because of the current as transmitted from the magneticness of MY Infiniteness. By your concentration the transmutation of MY Spirit is transmitted to you and you are partakers of MY Nature automatically. and of MY Characteristics. Therefore you think it and act it, fulfilling MY Message as I have declared it, I will put MY Spirit in them and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. They are walking in MY Statutes daily.

Because I AM unifying them with ME by harmonization they are coming into the unification of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose. By they bringing their bodies into subjection to ME and by living Evangelically they enjoy harmonizing with ME. They enjoy it because through harmonization the transmutation of the Spirit is transmitted and they are partakers of it, and it fills them with enthusiasm, with joy, and peace and happiness, it causes them to be successful, prosperous and happy, therefore they will not seek another.

 

Finding The Lost Chord

Who would not wish to be happy? Everybody wishes to be happy. They have found that lost chord, that lost key as it may be termed. They have touched the key-note of salvation that answers every problem, answers every question, and answers every imagination, causes your imaginations no longer to be imaginations but to be your conscious conviction and realization since it has been established by MY Spirit. Oh, it is a privilege to be filled with it, isn't it! Everybody wants it! They all want it, whichever, because I have filled them with this Joy of Living. I have filled them I say, with the Joy of Living. They are coming to the realization of GOD'S Actual Presence and all of HIS Blessedness that was in the imaginary Heaven, it is coming into expression, and they are coming into possession of all of the bliss that was in the imaginary Heaven according to the mortal concept of the children of men.

You can only enjoy this as you relax, let go, and detach yourself from your foes. The worst enemies are those of your own household. They are your foes. By you relaxing and letting go, and detaching yourselves from your foes you are unifying yourself with your GOD by harmonization for you are harmonizing with HIM - not only with ME as a Person as it may be termed, but you are harmonizing yourselves with HIM through the harmonization of HIS Life and HIS Teaching as was manifested in the Person of Jesus.

The mystery is now revealed, how Jesus won the victory over death, how Jesus won the victory over self. He won the victory over death when He won the victory, over self. That is the mystery! Unless you can conquer self you cannot conquer death but if you conquer self you can conquer death. That is the mystery! Bringing your bodies into subjection to the Christ and allowing self to be still and brought into subjection to His Will, then and there your bodies are harmonizing with the Spirit of incorruptibleness that your bodies may not see corruption. That is the mystery!

Jot these Thoughts down in your mental vocabularies and remember them now, henceforth and forever. By living thus accordingly you will have the victory for Jesus gave it to you as a Sample and as an Example for you. Now Isn't that Wonderful! Conquering self, getting rid of self, overcoming self, you are overcoming death. Until you can conquer self, it is a matter of impossibility for you to conquer death, but when you do conquer, self completely, you will conquer death, the last enemy. The last enemy is self. The last enemy you have is that of your own household, and when it comes forth into expression in the last destructive expression, that is death. It was self in your household. When you shall have conquered him you will have Life Eternal, you can live and will not die. Aren't you glad!

 

Starting Your Spiritual Career

How do you begin this great career in the mental and spiritual career of Life from the city of destruction to the Celestial City? You start at the beginning by the relaxation of your conscious mentality, by stilling yourselves as individuals, by holding your peace and refusing to act personally from a mortal point of view. By so doing you are bringing your body into subjection, and by a continued consecration to the service you are harmonizing with Him by harmonizing with the Life and with the Teaching as exemplified in Jesus.

Suppose I would give you one Example and one Sample to copy after, one Example to work out after the manner of the former. When they came seeking Jesus, saying,

'Thy mother and thy brethren want thee out there,'


Jesus said,

'Who is my mother and who are my brethren? They who do the will of my Father, the same are my mother, my brethren, and my sisters.'


This was an open expression, and Christ declared it as a Sample and as an Example for others to copy, that they might follow after the footsteps of the Savior and be truthfully and really emancipated.

You cannot be emancipated saving by bringing your bodies into subjection to the Sample and the Example as Christ in the Person of Jesus exemplified it. Copy after this fashion. Relax your conscious mentality if you desire to have the victory, for there is no other victory over death saving as you conquer self by living and doing according to the teaching of the CHRIST.

Now self feelings would say right away, "Why, should I deny my mother? She was a good and a holy woman; she was virtuous." The metaphysical theories of men would have told Jesus if they would have been there, "Why, Jesus, why should You deny Your mother? Why, Your mother is virtuous, You are denying the Virginity of Mary when You deny her personally." That is what they would have said. But aren't you glad they were not there then? "Now you know You should love your mother." Now that is what they would have said, and that is what the preachers, and metaphysicians, and practitioners of the "other fellow" are saying today, for they are working for the "other fellow," trying to get as many to die as they can, so they can bury them and get some money. Isn't that Wonderful! But GOD does not say such foolishness. Yes, they would have said, "Why, you should not deny your mother."

 

Jesus, The Sample and Example for Victory

Now I hear a good many of the so-called ministers of the different churches saying, "Well, He meant for you to deny the wickedness of your parents and the wickedness of your children; He did not mean for you to really deny them," as if though He was merely joking. Now isn't that Wonderful! "He does not mean for you to actually deny one that is living right; if they are living right you should stick to them and love your mother and your sisters and your brethren and be devout to them." But Jesus as a Radical was an outward expresser and was open spoken.

'Who is my mother and who am my brethren, and who are my sisters? They who do the will of my Father, the same are my mother, my brother and my sister.'


These thoughts are well worth considering'. Jesus was the Sample and the Example. There is no other way to get the victory over death saving as you bring your bodies into subjection and do exactly according to His Life and according to His Teaching. These are hard sayings, but yet they are true! As I afore said, they will say that. "Why, especially a holy woman like Mary was why, no one should even speak unpleasantly to her." Because she was holy. That is in their version, "Therefore, Jesus, You should go there and worship Your mother because she is a holy woman." That would be their version, and He would have been in the grave today! He would have been in the grave today I say, had He done as they said and according to their version and according to the versions of them today. He would have. been in the grave and they would have been going around talking about Spirit, and talking about the Spirit never did have a Body.

'Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that denies that Christ has come in the flesh is that spirit of anti-Christ.'


Not only come in the flesh, but the Christ was made flesh, and the Christ was GOD HIMSELF. Now aren't you glad!

As a Wayshower, as a Sample and as an Example for the children of men Christ came, and everyone must copy after the fashion I have shown them. That is, if they expect to have victory in this present time and in the world to come, as it may be termed. That is why they are in lacks and wants and limitations. That is why they cannot make their demonstrations. It is because they refuse to recognize GOD'S Actual Presence, and especially the tangibilization of it. Because you believe in the tangibilization of GOD and because you recognize HIS Presence among you all, such a recognition and such a realization of the Actual Tangibilization of GOD will bring every desirable result to your body as well as to your soul.

 

What Belief in Personification of Christ Will Do

Belief in the Personification of Christ is the redemption of your body as well as your soul, but the unbelief in the Personification and the Tangibilization of the Christ is the disinheritance, of your Eternal Life, GOD has in storehouse for you. Now isn't that Wonderful! Because you disbelieve in the tangibilization of Christ, why should Christ bless you in your tangibilization or physical body, when GOD HIMSELF is disembodied by you according to your version? If you disembody the Christ, Christ must disembody you. Christ must also make you impersonal and invisible if you make HIM impersonal and invisible.

GOD will reward you according as your works may be. You are working your body out from the Fellowship of the Almighty and becoming to be minus of the Spirit of GOD'S Presence because you dis-recognize GOD and HIS Personal Presence. But our bodies feel physically fit, and Christ's Body looks younger now than It did nineteen hundred years ago. Why does it? It is because He and you believe in the Personification of Spirit

Therefore, as said the composition by Inspiration, "Fight on, my soul, till Christ shall bring YOU to your GOD." I heard you Say by composition, "Renew It boldly every day." Your bodies should be renewed as they are taking on the renewed mind, and by the renewing of the mind your bodies are renewed. I AM giving you new thoughts, and new bodies follow, I AM keeping you alert, up to date, keeping you modernistic as you advance in it for you can be renewed daily and by so doing you will help Divine employ. I thank you.
