FATHER DIVINE
The vibrations were high and souls were stirred by the dynamic Message given by the King of Kings, FATHER DIVINE, on this same afternoon, which was being proof-read at the evening banquet.
None can doubt the Power, Dominion and Authority being exercised by the Dean of the Universe, as His mighty Words go forth to turn and overturn, and take root in the hearts of the children of men. Following the song which precedes FATHER'S beautiful Message delivered on this occasion, FATHER rose in His Immaculateness and spoke His Words of Spirit and Life, explaining and illustrating His dominion over even the cosmic forces of nature, as HE has it today just as HE did in the Body of Jesus, when HE stilled the raging seas by the simple word, 'PEACE!' The raging minds of men are likewise stilled, for HE reaches mankind mentally, spiritually and physically. All-powerful GOD, we Thank THEE. (The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and FATHER'S Lecture follows the song recorded).
SONG
'Our FATHER has come,
Nevermore will we roam,
We'll serve HIM forever,
Since our FATHER has come.' Etc.
PEACE, EVERYONE!
If that little composition, the number just sung, is a reality to you, then allow it to be true.
Whilst sitting, I thought to say, we in other words, you may not realize what it really means to be in the Actual Presence of GOD, and what your real mission is now. Man's day is out and woman's day is out; therefore, when I say man's day is out, we mean all mankind. Mortality and mortality's version shall no longer have dominion not only here under this Personal Jurisdiction, but universally.
The time has truly come, dominion and authority and space or place for expression shall all be monopolated by the Spirit of GOD'S Actual Presence, for man has come to his destination, man has had his way for four thousand and four years B.J., and continued to encroach on GOD'S time and GOD'S land, continuing even now, endeavoring and trying to monopolate and take dominion over all of GOD'S creation.
When I spoke a little while ago in that Message, of GOD speaking 'tornado-ly,' GOD speaking 'earthquake-ly' and GOD speaking 'volcano-ly;' I thought of how GOD speaks through the cosmic forces of nature and destroys those things created by the hand of nature, because of the monopolation of the mortal versions of men and because of their mortal concept concerning HIM in the act of trying to take dominion over GOD'S inherent creation, and trying to rule and usurp authority over all things. Therefore, the beautiful trees and other vegetation that may be called the hand of nature's expression and the creative forces of nature in evidence in them, yet man has claimed them all.
For this cause I come throughby the cosmic forces of nature and I speak 'tornado-ly' and I speak 'volcano-ly' when I will, and I speak 'earthquake-ly' when I will to destroy that which man has monopolated and made, and has claimed for himself and tried to bring into subjection and under his jurisdiction, that he might usurp authority over GOD'S creation. Therefore I knock his props from underneath him.
I will allow man to see and know, GOD can if HE wills to, speak 'earthquake-ly.' GOD can speak 'tornado-ly,' GOD can speak 'volcano-ly,' GOD can speak 'flood-ly,' and GOD can speak 'comet-ly,' if HE wishes to. GOD speaks as HE wills and no man can hinder HIM!
Then I say, stop and consider, it is essential for you to harmonize with HIM that you might be in this great Union of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose with your great Creator, and by it be protected. How glorious it is to know your GOD! I sat, I listened, I stopped, looked and listened and considered the Train is coming through. What said the prophet concerning the mystery?
'His Train fills the heaven; His Train fills the earth.'
It is coming through, for it is it of which was spoken of by the prophet saying:
'A stone that was cut out of the mountain without hands.'
Can you not see it coming? Can you not see it going? Can you not see it extending
from shore to shore and from land to land? It is coming and it is going all the
time. Aren't you glad!
Then I say, the time has truly come, GOD will monopolate all spaces and all time and all places and none shall have access unless they harmonize with HIM and fall in line. Aren't you glad! GOD shall speak in the future from the angles of expression you used to, you will have to harmonize with the Creator and the Harmonizer that you might be able to speak under the Jurisdiction of the Great Universal Mind Substance.
I was just thinking abut how the time seems to be consumed; how when I MYSELF have spoken through MY Messages after they are transcribed, when they are read legibly and you hear them, I feel at times as I did just then there is nothing else to say. There isn't anything else to say, for it has all been said and done! The only thing to say is for you to say:
'Here, LORD, I give myself away, it is all that I can do.'
The only thing for you to say is to do just what I have just then told you:
'I surrender all, All to THEE, my blessed Savior, I surrender all.'
In the great battlefield of life in other words, on this great battlefield as
Soldiers of the Cross and as Followers of the Lamb, you should not fear to own
His Cause, nor blush to speak His Name! Do you see anything here to blush about?
Do you see anything here to fear?
'If GOD is for you, who can be against you?'
You are in the Presence and with HIM Who has All Power! The cosmic forces of
nature and all creation must obey HIM, therefore all nations, languages, tongues
and people must hear the Voice of your Savior by the Christian world of religion,
Jesus! GOD in the Christian world of religion is Jesus from that angle of expression.
If you do not hear HIM from another, you must hear HIM from this one! Aren't
you glad!
Then I say, GOD shall monopolate and shall super-rule and shall dominate, 'dominionate,' whichever, all creation, even as HE has predominated supernaturally and invisibly. He shall manifest His Dominion and shall manifest HIMSELF as HE is going forth into expression. How glorious it is to know that while being out on the battlefield of life for lo! these many years, Christianity, or in other words, CHRIST, as a Soldier and as a General, has been leading the battle against vice and crime, against sin and debauchery, visible and invisible, all the time; but the time has truly come now that they all and all of the powers under their jurisdiction, must surrender. Aren't you glad! Then I say:
'Fret not yourselves because of the workers of iniquity for they' are already 'cut off.'
No longer they shall be cut off, but they have already been cut off. Aren't you
glad! GOD shall reign now! GOD alone is reigning now! GOD alone shall have dominion
universally and none shall hinder HIM! Then, as I said in that Message, if you
think GOD is wrong about anything, stay away from around HIM! I did not send
for you! I have not sent for you! Then stay away from around ME! Aren't you glad!
I shall have access and you shall make GOD right in your consideration and the
consideration of all with whom you come in contact, or else I will move you off
the face of the earth. Aren't you glad! GOD alone shall reign and none shall
hinder HIM! Mortality and mortality's version have been trying to hinder HIM
long enough! But it has long since been declared and since it has been declared
I will fulfil it! No more compromise! GOD will speak 'tornado-ly' if HE wishes
to. GOD will speak 'volcano-ly' if HE wishes to right here in America, I AM talking
about!
You need not think GOD cannot speak 'volcano-ly' right here in America! HE can speak 'volcano-ly' right here in America if HE wished to, the same as in any other country, for GOD is Omnipotent, GOD is Omnipresent, and all creation will move according to His Plan and Purpose. It moves! At times before HE finishes speaking, it begins! If you desire to hear GOD speak 'tornado-ly' in a way you will know it is GOD speaking, HE can speak 'tornado-ly' as HE has been speaking, and 'cyclone-ly.' He can speak 'flood-ly' and HE can speak 'earthquake-ly.'
You hear a little whisper now about something speaking you may call it the germs of the 'flu,' but it is speaking 'flu-ly. Whatsoever it is, it speaks and it acts and it moves and it brings an abolition to segregation and discrimination. It brings them all on one common level, whensoever these expressions speak. Even if you do not believe GOD is a living reality, HE may speak from the angles of expression that will bring you into subjection, and all creation shall hear HIM!
What a privilege to live in such a recognition and to be hid under the wings of GOD'S Love and Protection! Aren't you glad! GOD is a rock in the weary land! GOD is a shelter in the time of storm! The worries and the trials and the tribulations, if you harmonize with HIM, can do you no harm; for if you are in harmony with the Creator, you are in harmony with the creative forces of nature and all things will work in harmony with you. But if you are inharmonious to HIM and conflicting, each and all of these conditions will be inharmonious to you. Aren't you glad! The blizzards and the floods and the flames and other destructive forces of expression will be inharmonious to you, if you are inharmonious to your Creator continually. Can you not see the mystery? But if you are harmoniously connected to HIM and with HIM, why, harmonious conditions will result from every angle expressible; even all of the cosmic forces of nature will work in harmony with you. Aren't you glad!
Did not the cosmic forces of nature work in harmony with Moses in leading the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt? Did not the cosmic forces of nature work in harmony with Jesus when the ship was about to be wrecked, when it was tossed from side to side by that which is commonly known as the storm? When Jesus rose in His actuated words of expression in the consideration of those who sat and stood around with fear, and said 'PEACE!' the raging sea became calm and things were harmonious again, and then they were at shore because they were no longer at sea. They were no longer at sea mentally and spiritually, not knowing what to do and where to go, for they were at shore mentally and spiritually, even if they had been midway in the Pacific Ocean. As soon as Jesus spoke 'PEACE!' to the raging seas of the minds of the children of men, why, the sea became calm at that time they found themselves at shore. They were the same as if they had been on the shore, on the wharf, waiting and looking, instead of being on the ship, tossed and driven. Can you not see the mystery?
When Jesus appears, you are no longer at sea. You hear them say at times, 'I am at sea I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say I am at sea.' You are no longer at sea when CHRIST is near! When the recognition of CHRIST has risen in your consideration, it brings calmness and harmony in your breast and negation and confusion are dispelled at once, and you no longer are at sea, for you are at shore! Aren't you glad!
Then I say, build upon this foundation and you will see, wheresoever I AM, even out in the mid- ocean, and you be at sea, for seas may rise and toss your ship from side to side, but if you call on the Name of GOD,
'Whosoever calls on the Name of GOD shall be saved.'
When you call on MY Name harmoniously with the spirit of sincerity, even though
you be in mid-ocean and the waves and the seas be tossing the ship from side
to side, you will find you are at shore and no longer at sea, when you trust
in ME. That is what it is all about! But GOD shall Reign on! GOD'S Dominion is
from everlasting to everlasting, and now everlasting has come and Eternity shall
go on! Aren't you glad! The powers that be, they shall be subjugated to ME. Whatsoever
powers there are that be, they shall obey ME. Aren't you glad! I know it sounds
a little radical to you, but the selection and the election have been accomplished;
therefore that which has been declared to be fulfilled by the Almighty, since
the Office is being filled, now it shall be fulfilled! Aren't you glad!
As with an individual, so with a nation. If an individual has brought itself or himself into subjection and has been blessed abundantly and emancipated from all undesirable conditions, all of the nations universally can be brought into subjection as easily. Aren't you glad! I told you all some time ago I accepted of India the three hundred and fifty million. I think you will find we have evidence that forty thousand had at one place been emancipated. It is legally and politically and nationally; yea, even internationally known, that forty thousand since I said it, at one place Bombay, have been emancipated. They have been emancipated! They have been given their freedom!
I told you all I did not have to go Personally! I do not have to stay here Personally! I do not have to go any place nor stay any place Personally, especially. Wheresoever I will, I AM; and wheresoever I BE, there I AM; and wheresoever I AM not, there I AM just the same! Aren't you glad! I know mortality cannot understand it when I speak supernaturally. I speak spiritually, I speak mentally, and I speak physically and I speak Personally, and yet I AM Impersonal by nature; therefore I AM the Fulfiller of all things and the Controller of all creation! I need not say a word! Let man even think he is doing something! I may not open My Mouth Personally, but I control them as I control the cosmic forces of nature, by harmonizing with MYSELF, the Creator! That is the mystery.
Things automatically work in harmony with ME, without My Personal request openly the very cosmic forces of nature, the creative forces of nature and the hand of nature, and all of vegetation will work in harmony with ME, because I AM in harmony, if you take it to be, if you please, with the Creator, the Maker and Savior of all of these! Even if you take it to be in that, I AM in harmony with the Creator. Through harmonization, you are brought into the Unification of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, through harmonizing. That is the mystery.
Therefore those things will work harmoniously for you and harmoniously with you automatically, without your consideration to ask them, if you are in harmony with the Creator of all of those things. That is the mystery. Even the wind will blow harmoniously. Everything will express harmoniously with you and to you if you are in harmony with the Creator of all these things. Truly might have you said by your Catechism in other words, in your kindergarten:
'All things bright and beautiful, All things great and small,
All things wise and wonderful, The LORD GOD made them all.'
If these words are true from your kindergarten to where you are today, the consideration
is a living reality. Those words shall always stay with you now, henceforth and
forever. If the LORD GOD made them all and millions have made this declaration
known, even the Spirit in you even if you deny yourself, deny what CHRIST has
said in you and deny ME, why, as though it is you, you have cast your ballot,
you have cast your vote, whichever, and you cannot take it back.
Your vote has gone in, the same as all of the other millions universally, and I AM selected by you and by others and I AM elected! Aren't you glad! You may want to get your vote back, but you have already cast it. You have cast your ballot you cannot get it back now! If you try to take it back, you have just lost your vote and you are the one who is just out, that is all. The ONE Whom you voted for, is not out. HE has your ballot! You just cannot get it back, I say! If you did not mean to select and elect HIM you should not have done it! If you did not want it to be, why, why did you do it? You should have found out whom you wanted to select and elect first, before you made your selection and elected Him.
Now, with or without a Body, the same as with Jesus of Nazareth for Christianity, for all Christendom, with or without a Body, I will fill My Office. You cannot prohibit it! You cannot prohibit it and it is immaterial to ME whether I AM without the Body or with the Body; the Office shall be fulfilled and the Office Fulfiller will fulfil it; for HE knows whereof HE speaks!
'It is not by power nor by might, but by My Spirit;'
therefore by the Spirit the Office is fulfilled, even as by the Spirit the Office
was selected and elected in other words, the Official was selected and elected
to fill the Office and Official Duty that was to be filled. That is the mystery.
Aren't you glad!
Hence, just consider I need not say a thing! When Jesus of Nazareth as a Person ceased to function, it did not prohibit His Work and His Mission. When His Person ceased to be considered as a Person among them, His Work and His Mission were more expressive and it advanced more continually, even until now. You need not think, 'Well FATHER cannot go 'here,' cannot be 'there,' or cannot fill every space,' or 'HE cannot or HE will not,' or anything about ME Personally. It is absolutely immaterial to ME, as I AM on the minds of millions and millions the universe over.
So shall I cover the universe, even as Jesus did in these nineteen hundred years; as Christianity has covered the universe and has monopolated all political dominion, the political government of our advanced civilization that is commonly known as Christian government. Aren't you glad Jesus was the Monopolater of all government and all power. With or without a Body, He accomplished His Endeavors, and therefore He went away. The religions say He said He has gone to heaven but said He is ruling and has all dominion on the earth plane where you and others are living. Aren't you glad!
That is the significance of the Independence of GOD! When this country as a nation declared her independence, it was but bespeaking the reality of GOD'S Independence, as a sketch and a reflection of the mystery how GOD would express His Independence in reality. Can you not see the mystery? Therefore, under the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence it was pre-ordained that GOD would come and establish His Kingdom under this Constitution and bring the Constitution into subjection to HIM the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in CHRIST JESUS; that the legalization of Righteousness, Truth and Justice might be a reality under the Constitution of America. Aren't you glad! Then again I say, U.S. Aren't you glad! Again it is US! That is what it is it is US! US E Pluribus Unum! US 'In GOD We Trust!' If Uncle Sam had not meant it, he would not have said it! He spoke it and wrote it documentally, He spoke it and wrote it Constitutionally and established it nationally and internationally, theoretically, but you are the fulfillers spiritually and in reality the characteristic expressers of that of which he wrote concerning the mystery. Aren't you glad!
We shall be real American citizens characteristically, dispositionally and internally 'naturely,' and express it externally in our daily activities! I thank you.
