FATHER DIVINE and His Staff in the
Tea Room at The Bible Institute.
In this beautiful office talk, FATHER gives assurance to the true and faithful who love Him and Trust in HIM implicitly, for no good thing will they lack and no good thing will HE withhold from them who mediate in His Law day and night. And all those who love Him and follow His Footsteps will find Joy in so doing, for all His Paths are joy and peace, and all His Truths are Righteousness. Therefore, we rejoice in the GOD of our Salvation.
For Thy Comforting Words of Spirit and Life, Almighty GOD, we Humbly Thank Thee!
(The foregoing statement is that of the transcriber, and the following is the beautiful Office Talk with FATHER speaking as follows:)
Where there is Love, there is GOD, for GOD is Love! And where GOD is, there is no lack! Things automatically come! As I was thinking a little while ago coming along, how I do not own or claim a thing, and others are claiming their millions and billions and seeking and trying to get themselves more and more than what they already have, and yet every comfort and every convenience automatically to Me and My Service are given without the slightest lack or limitation.
I was thinking about the beautiful car and everything that life demands and yet I do not actually own a thing. Not anything do I Personally and obligating claim. This is a Sample and an Example for others to copy after the fashion I have shown. It is Wonderful. It seems so far fetched when I come in contact with those who are seeking self and everything for self. In other words, seeking self gains and everything for self and everything to be considered for a selfish purpose. It is so far from the thought in My consideration.
I cannot get anything large enough to accommodate all that I desire to be accommodated as they are found worthy and eligible for the accommodations and for the Blessings that I AM enjoying. So it is wonderful. You have to live right and do right. You should never have a puncture in your tires or automobiles. There is some cause for it, if it ever would be or if it has ever been one, a blow out or any such thing. Everything should work pleasantly and peacefully and harmoniously and you should be able to live throughout eternity in peaceful and quiet resting places wheresoever you are. That means Omnipresently and Universally, for GOD is truly Ever present and Omnipresent. Everything in Perfect Peace, for truly I did say:
'In perfect Peace I will keep thee, whose mind is stayed on Me.'
Coworker: It is beautiful, FATHER. We thank YOU to ever keep THEE uppermost in consciousness.
FATHER: When you go, I will go with you. If you will allow ME to, by being faithful, conscientious and sincere. When thou passeth through the water, they shall not overflow thee and through the fire thou shall not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee, for I, the LORD your GOD AM with thee and will be holding thy right hand saying unto thee, "Fear not, for I AM with thee!" It is Wonderful!
When other than such comes, you may know there is some deviation. There is some digression. There is some backsliding or some offsetting or something of the sort that will cause anything else to come but Perfect Peace and Blessed Assurance. In this recognition and upon this Foundation, you will be able to soar in and through the mental and spiritual ether in the heavens of MY Consciousness where your vibrations shall have been lifted to contact the CHRIST Consciousness and you will then revel into the glorious Liberty of the Sons of GOD and that will be your Life, Liberty and not only the pursuit of Happiness, but the Reality of Happiness when it shall have been established. It is Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
What said I to them in the Sonship Degree as to men ?
'Lo, I will be with thee always, even unto the end of the world.'
What a consolation! What a privilege! What an opportunity! It is Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful! Then you realize it is true, GOD is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent,
filling all space and absent from none! Therefore, GOD is at every place where
you may be or from whence you came and will be until the world shall have come
to an end!
You will not or would not have an occasion to struggle nor contend mentally nor spiritually, for he that struggleth or contendeth, he contendeth not against man, neither does he struggle against man, but contendeth and struggleth against GOD! For truly I did say:
'He that puts his trust in ME, shall never be confounded.'
It is better to put your trust in GOD than to put your confidence in man, for
Upon this Foundation if you will stand, in the radiance of MY LOVE, it is Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Of which radiance X-Rays and the like are just slight sketches and reflections of the Mystery of how My Love can permeate and penetrate your mentality and your system and see every thought, every idea and every opinion the same as the M.D. surgeon with his X-Ray system can X-ray your physical structure or system and observe what is the internal condition by the X-ray system and cause him to know and then you to know your internal condition, physical condition, as well as also your mental condition by the X-ray system of the physical physician.
When the diagnosis is perfect and explicit through a perfect physical examination, they can pretty well tell you your physical condition, but when you look diligently to Him Who is the Inspirator and the Inspirer through mysteries revealed through science and invention and skill and ability of the physicians, you will know definitely GOD is the Author and the Finisher, and when you make your rightful contact with the INFINITE, GOD will teach you Wisdom and will give you your great deliverance transcending the fondest imagination of the M.D. surgeon or physician in his diagnosis. Aren't you glad!
GOD deals in the affairs of men and all of the Wisdom and Skill and Ability of science and invention they are but a slight sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of GOD's Omniscience transmitted to them. I thank you.
