MY Followers Love ME Wholeheartedly Because They Are Led Voluntarily and Intuitively, Not Externally Nor Theoretically — FATHER DIVINE

FATHER DIVINE at the Stone Ridge Farm

Delving into the mysteries of GOD and bringing forth to the surface that which comes from the Fount of all Wisdom, that which could not be fathomed by the finite and limited minds of the children of men, FATHER DIVINE, our Immaculate Savior, brings forth His Wisdom to all humanity, that we might no longer live in darkness for the lack of understanding and for the lack of the True Concept of the Truth concerning all things!

Because men have allowed themselves to be bound by mortality and its fancies, tendencies, and pleasures and mortal appetites, and all that would appease the mortal versions of men, they have been made subject to self indulgence, which has caused much suffering among the peoples of the earth. Through self indulgence the world has been overpopulated, and many countries have replenished their territories that they might have more bodies to send to the battlefield. This comes through and by selfishness, graft and the greedy gains of men, for no matter what they may have or have attained, they still desire and seek more and more, that they might be greater than their fellowmen and have more territory than their neighboring countries, and that men might look upon them as great in the sight of them!

For this cause FATHER DIVINE has come to emancipate and free all mankind, irrespective of their races, creeds, colors and nationalities, from the chaotic conditions they are now in and will undergo unless they accept of this Fundamental! Unless they accept the teachings of FATHER DIVINE and live accordingly, they will have wars and rumors of wars, floods, tornadoes and pestilences of every kind. But if they accept of this Truth as advocated by our Lord and Master, they will no longer be under those cursed conditions that befall the children of men, for they will be living in the Conscious recognition and the realization of the everpresence of GOD, FATHER DIVINE — now henceforth and forever!

(The foregoing statements come from the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks and sings as follows:)

"The people in the world, they don't know the Lord
The people in the world they don"t know the Lord
they will not do what HE says do."

Peace Everyone! As I sat, I thought on the same subject as just related. It matters not whether a person is obligated to do this, that or the other by the law or not — it matters not — it does not matter; the very Spirit of MY Presence will accomplish that for which I came, in all of MY assertions,all of MY Plan and in all things according to MY Purpose!

I was thinking of the Anti-Lynching Bill! This does not need to pass as a law especially; for when GOD gets a-hold of the hearts of the children of men, GOD will change their minds; change their will and change their desires. They will not have the desire and ambition to do those things they have been doing; therefore from those things I will emancipate them! But if an Anti-Lynching Bill is passed in Congress, it will be a Law it is true, but it will profit nothing unless you have law-abiding citizens. They are violating the laws every day! It is only that the laws are stressed in a manner of convincement to the inhabitants of this country, that they are sinning or violating the laws or the right thing that they should do — violating the laws that they should not violate, and doing what they should not do. That is why the laws are set apart!

But with or without the actuated words of expression in the legalization of such laws, rules and regulations, I shall accomplish MY Endeavors! The people are not drinking any more liquor, not as much as they did before, when we had prohibition here! They are just as much free from liquor and free from intoxicating beers and other liquors,as I afore said, as they were then and more; for at that time, they were forced legally,from drinking and buying and selling liquor. They were requested not to do it, but they did it because when the law came, sin came forth into expression by those who had been violators of such a regulation. So then, they were more determined to do that which they were commanded not to do!

The Work of Intuition and the Spirit

That is the reason for MY not telling you all, "Do not do this, do not do that, do not do the other." But to the extreme reverse, I leave it to your highest intuition, and by placing MY Spirit in the minds of you, many of you will inculcate it and reincarnate it; at least, many of the inhabitants of the earth will continue to do so, and they will be attracted to it more effectively than they would be if I would especially tell them; "Do this, do that," and "Do not do this, that and the other." That is the mystery!

So it is a privilege to see and know just what GOD has done and what GOD is now doing:bringing into actuality and into reality and into Spirituality, every desirable expression; causing mankind to get the inspiration and the desire to do those things intuitively and inspirationally, that it might be original to them. For when it comes from within you by inspiration and by your highest intuition from the within, it is original, even though others have had it!

All inspirations are given, yet they are original to the one to whom they are given. If you get an inspiration, although an old composition — if you get this inspiration by the Spirit intuitively, and it inspires you inspirationally from the within, even though you have never heard it — if it comes forth by inspiration in you as the reproduction of it, as the reinculcation and reincarnation of it; you are the one who has received this. You are the one; to you it is original!

The Message Not Theory

Then I say, the message I AM transmitting to all humanity, I AM sending it in a way of expression that it might be original to all who conceive the idea, and to all who are inspired by it, that they might not feel merely as though it is theoretical. It is no longer theories or doctrines nor versions of others, but it is original to you when it is inspired within you, and an inspiration to you volitionally. That is the great significance of the Work of MY Mission! I AM making you be originators, to originate something within, and causing you to be the ones of whom will be the real inspirator of that which has come to you by inspiration.

Then as I afore said, the Anti-Lynching Bill has been stressed and I have introduce it MYSELF, in a very rigid way of expression, which would have been a law well worth considering, if it would have been lived up to and carried out; whilst yet I have another Law, the Law of Spirit and Life that was in Christ Jesus the Legislator of Salvation! When this Law enacts laws and regulations under this Constitution, it will reach the masses wheresoever they are; it will cause them to walk in the way I would have them to go.

Therefore, if I do not do a thing from a legal point of view in the act of bringing about these different laws that we may require, I will bring them about with or without legality! The legalization of such laws, rules and regulations as I AM requesting is essential! The legalization of them is essential; nevertheless, if they are not legalized, the Spiritualization and the Inspiration of such laws, rules and regulations will be the Fundamentals through which they will accomplish that for which I have endeavored; for they will go forth and be inculcated and reincarnated in individuals intuitively and inspirationally, and they will do more effectively, that which I would have them do than they could or would dare try to do by legality!

It Was Not the Law

How glorious it is to observe the mystery! It was not the law from a legal point of view, that forced you to be here and to have these different comforts and conveniences, such as we are now enjoying; but the Inspiration which transcends all legalization — brought you into this recognition and brought you into possession of these limitless Blessings, such s we are now enjoying — all without the legalization of them! Aren't you glad!

Coming under the head of legality, they are legally yours, those of you who own them; but it was not a law that forced you to do what you are doing.It was not a legal law that did it, but internally, inspirationally and intuitively, you are led to do so; therefore, you do it with great pleasure and more effectively than if you were forced to do so, through legality!

To make a law for you all to do as you have done and to do as you are doing, it would not profit very much. To try to bring about the universal brotherhood of man with the legalization of it, unless you first get the inspiration intuitively, it would profit you very little. That is the reason I tell all of MY followers: "Be governed by your highest intuition." You never hear me request any individual to come, or try to persuade you to come or go or be connected in any way. I leave it with you, that I might lead and guide you intuitively; and if you are governed intuitively and inspirationally and are led to do so, then and only then is it Real to you!

If you are forced or coerced into doing anything, to you it is not real! That is the reason MY followers stick to ME so closely! That is the reason they love ME so wholeheartedly! It is because it is volitionally, it is voluntarily, it is intuitively they are led, not externally, neither theoretically.

Limiting Self Indulgence

They are not told to do this that nor to do the other, nor to especially follow ME by MY telling them; "You should follow ME." To the extreme reverse, I AM trying to show you as if though it would not be necessary for you to follow ME. It is wonderful! Then I say in reference to multiplying propagation; we shall bring a complete limitation to such expressions, especially in the way of selfishness and self-indulgence. for I shall convert the hearts and minds of the children of men and cause them to concentrate in a different direction other than self-indulgence! Hence they will not be increasing and multiplying the numbers in their families, and in drinking and in other selfish ways of expression.

I will bring a complete abolition to such, by the Spirit of MY Mind influencing all mankind and bringing them into subjection eventually, until they will no longer desire to do those things they have done, in any way whatever. That is the mystery!

If I do not use or say a word after the manner of men, if I do not tell you do anything, the very Spirit of MY Presence will tell you intuitively and inspirationally, and you will be led victoriously over those conditions, and will not even have a desire nor a fancy to do them; for I will put something in your minds and in your ambition so far reaching and so fascinating as the Center of Attraction for you, your desires will leave all such, and your mind will be stayed on Christ. Aren't you glad!

Reincarnating the Laws

Even law we are speaking of, if they do not bring those laws I AM requesting, I will bring them about mentally and Spiritually, intuitively and individually, and when those are fulfilled in the individuals, they will continue to expand and extend until they are all brought into legality, and after a while all humanity will recognize the reality of such laws, rules and regulations that are inculcated and reincarnated in them and after a while they will be obliged to recognize them legally, if they live on the earth plane!

If they do not live on the earth plane, maybe they will have someone with them who is in opposition to the Fundamentals for which I stand. But if they live on the earth plane, the inhabitants of the earth — all who are worth considering — will be with ME; for what said the Apostle concerning the mystery:

"Behold we put bits in horses mouths that they may obey us, and we turn the whole body about."

As an abstract expression, I AM stressing, I will put the bits in the mouths of the horses and I will control them! I will bring them in a way they would not go. That is the mystery! They will no longer even try to go in a different way, when they know they cannot get away! They are obliged to go the way I will them to go! This is the prediction.This is not a supposition. You know the Scripture must be fulfilled and you know I AM the Fulfiller! And you know definitely, the Bit of which I AM speaking is not a material bit made out of metal or steel whichever; it is a Bit of the Spirit of the Spirit of MY Mind transmitted. Others will catch it and express it automatically and I will cause them to walk in My Statutes. That is the mystery!

That You Might Know Your GOD

Then think it not strange that I speak as I do and I speak as I AM! I AM speaking in this way to let you see and know definitely, that which I have spoken into consideration, I will accomplish with or without MY Person; for I AM the Personifier of that which I have declared mentally and Spiritually, even as you are reincarnators and fulfillers. Even so fulfill I these Sayings and these things, that you might know your GOD!

There are so many things I could say along this line, but I must apparently stress this thought vividly, over and over again, that it might be stamped in your minds, that you might not forget them; all of these things that I have declared will be fulfilled with or without the legalization of them — more effectively when they are not legalized! More effectively when men ignore them! For MY Spirit will work more persistently and more courageously in the Spirit and the minds of the children of men, in bringing those things to pass when men are failing to recognize them from a legal point of view. That is the mystery!

Now this is an abstract expression, is actually telling the nation just what I AM doing externally among the different individuals and in these different Assemblies and in the different Dining Rooms where we do assemble. It is telling them definitely, it is more expressive without being legally endorsed. The more they ignore it, the more it is fulfilled, for "I came treading the winepress all alone and of the people there were none to help"; one declared!

When this is done, you know it is the One Who was to come. I thank you!
