FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE,
Circle Mission Church, Bronx, N.Y.
The testimony and song of a brother sincerely sung the words of which are herein transcribed, served to bring forth this marvelous sermon from the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings. It is filled full of DIVINE Wisdom, Knowledge and understanding and will bring the hope of Salvation to all who will but abide by its precepts as laid down so condescendingly by GOD ALMIGHTY, FATHER DIVINE.
Without further ado, read this glorious Sermon and from now, henceforth and forever, practice what you imbibe from HIS Blessed Words!
THANK YOU, ALMIGHTY GOD of ALL!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which is firstly recorded the composition sung by the brother just before FATHER arose to speak.)
'FATHER is here, FATHER is there,
FATHER is here, FATHER is there, etc...
FATHER is everywhere!'
(FATHER Speak as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE: I believe the majority of you meant what you sang! Those of you who realize "FATHER is here and FATHER is there, and FATHER is everywhere", and realize the Allness of GOD and the Nothingness of MATTER, you will relax your conscious mentality. You will learn once and forever self-denial is the great essential; for
'What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?'
I was talking with some men of a very recent date- I thought of how marvelous it is to trust GOD implicitly, and to be most insignificant apparently, but be leaning on the Everlasting Arms! It is a privilege to realize you can lean and depend on something that will fail you, but think you are safeguarding yourself against failure, against disappointments, against a rainy day, against the time when you will need hospitalization, and prepare for such and depend on your puny ideas and opinions, your versions and others' versions! But
'The arms of flesh will fail you; you dare not trust our own!'
These thoughts are well worth considering if all will take cognizance of them
and consider them, for it is written
'He that puts his trust in ME",
said HE,
'shall never be confounded!'
Whether you know Who I AM or not, if it is necessary to put your trust in GOD, if you can Trust GOD invisibly, intangibly and absolutely impersonally, and just imaginarily, suppositionally and metaphysically, trust GOD implicitly, and GOD is here and GOD is there, since GOD is everywhere, GOD will be your Refuge, your Strength and your Protection with or without a Person! Aren't you glad!
You need not think your puny, mortal, finite minds and the minds of all mortality's version, with all carnality impregnated in them, are sufficient to serve you in the time of destruction, for they are fallible and they will fail you!
Therefore I say, if you realize FATHER is here and FATHER is there and FATHER is everywhere, you can in all simplicity, conscientiously and sincerely, relax your conscious mentality and trust GOD- and realize, in trusting GOD you are trusting GOD invisibly as well as visibly; intangibly as well as tangibly; impersonally, as well as Personally! You are trusting GOD everywhere, for GOD is Here, and GOD is There and GOD is Everywhere!
How marvelous it is to realize GOD's Presence is the Tangibilator, and GOD's Presence is Tangibilatable! GOD's Presence is the Materializer and GOD's Presence is Materializable and can and will materialize HIMSELF as HE wills, and visibilate HIMSELF and anything else as it is necessary to be materialized and visibilated!
What a privilege to live in such a conviction and to observe that great significance- for truly, GOD is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnilucent from every angle expressible! Therefore, he that puts his trust in GOD, they shall never be confounded! You need not fear sickness, disasters; you need not fear failure; for each and every seeming failure of the past, when you realize the Truth concerning the mystery, will help you to win the victory!
Therefore, do as Paul said on one occasion:
'Glory in tribulations, knowing this: that tribulation worketh patience, and patience experience, and experience hope, and hope maketh not ashamed!'
They say as he further said in his illustration:
'I am persuaded that things present nor things to come, principalities nor powers, nor men, neither angels, nor any other creature, shall separate me from the love of GOD!'
Upon this foundation if you will stand you will find even the mortal versionated ideas and opinions of men, and every person and personage, and the personalities, and the individuals, and the individualities of the individuals- not any of these things would sever you,- for you will live in the Recognition of GOD's Presence without a personality and without a person; without an individuality and without an individual; for GOD without individuality and without individuals, GOD without a personality and without a person is just as operative and just as expressive; for GOD in every field of activity is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Infinite!
So these thoughts need to be stressed in your memory, and consider,
'Greater is he that puts his trust in ME than they that trust in princes! '
Can you not see the mystery?
I see many failing, many coming to their destination by trusting in themselves as a person and even the personalities are absolutely imperfect and destructive- corruptible! Even if they had personalities and individualities that were incorruptible and undefiled it would be better; but your personalities and individualities are as your personage and are as you individuals are- Corruptible and filled with Failure and Mortal or Mortality and Carnality; living in the world of disintegration and daily failing and trusting in that which will bring you shortly to your destination.
Oh, what a privilege it is to trust in the infinite ONE- to lean on Something that is Incorruptible and Undefiled and cannot fade away! Even the Impersonality and the Unindividuality of the Infinite ONE speaking in the minds of men, the Words that I speak in and through them, they are Incorruptible and Undefiled; and even if the Heaven and the earth pass away, the Words I have SPOKEN Impersonally and Unindividually and Transcended- with a Transcended Version, concerning personalities and individualities- will STAND FIRM, because they are not bound by the versions of men! They are not bound by personalities nor individuals, neither by individualities; for the individualities of the mortals of mortality are failures! Even the individualities, the persons and the individuals and their personalities as well as the individuals and individualities, they are failures! Can you not see the mystery? They all shall fail! But the word of GOD incorruptible and undefiled, stands firm throughout eternity ! MY words can never die!
All mortals are subject to death; not only the mortal flesh but that of which is the expression or reflection of the person of the flesh; and that which is the reflection or manifestation of the individuals , which is the individuality; if they are in mortality they are failures. They are FAILURES, and they will FAIL you! Aren't you glad!
It is Wonderful! Leaning and depending on Self and Self- Opinuations, Ideas and Opinions and Versions of Mortality's; not realizing GOD is Impersonal and Incorruptible and Undefiled and Fadeth not Away! I STAND Now, Henceforth and Forever. Eternally in the Heavens! I thank you!
