FATHER DIVINE
The proofreading of a most interesting and enlightening interview in which the question of propagation and its discontinuance arose as one of the topics for discussion, led our Savior to further discuss this subject in this marvelous and very important message for consideration.
For years the pro and con of this question have been discussed by various organizations and individuals with the intent in mind of bettering the citizenship and community life of this and other nations but no satisfactory conclusions or solutions were ever reached. However it took the Dean of the Universe, the Creator and Maker Himself, to personally give man the answer to this question, as well as the solution to end the misery and woe of this world, brought on by the prenataled and hereditive influence of criminal characters and others of low mentality through propagation.
Many other beautiful points on other subjects are stressed by FATHER herein, including the Reality of GOD’S Actual Personified Presence being in the midst of the children of men. Read, therefore, these Gems of Wisdom and gain in knowledge and understanding!
Blessed Redeemer, we truly thank Thee
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE, EVERYONE!
Here we all are again, with good health, good will and a good appetite for everyone! Good manners, good behavior, all success and all prosperity; life, liberty and the reality of happiness for which you all sought so diligently!
While listening to the proofreading of the interview I re-stressed My Mind and the thought of what we are actually doing but what seems to be so little considered by the majority of the people who do not know.
If you retrace your thoughts back to the quotation as given there in that interview, in reference to what Jesus said,
“First seek ye the Kingdom of GOD and HIS Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you,”
Jesus, as the Wayshower to Salvation taught you the way of life scientifically and accurately with the very spirit of the Life Giver, GOD, the great Creator, Who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to them. And where you observe and have heard of the Teaching being somewhat in opposition to propagation, if you retrace your thoughts back you can remember what Jesus said concerning one:
“It had been good for that man if he had not been born!”
The same Spirit is speaking today. Every man who is as Judas was and as others who Jesus considered it would have been for them had they not been born, they should not have been born. And the teaching against the propagation of such characteristics and such kind of characters should have been enacted long before such persons were born!
“It had been good for that man if he had not been born!”
Can you not see it is the same Spirit speaking today? If I speak not in the Words, I AM speaking in Actions and in Deeds to that effect; for those who are not worthy to become fathers and mothers, they should not be, because they create misery, bloodshed and everything else in the world that should not be!
No doubt a good many of you have thought within yourselves it would have been good if Hitler had not been born. A good many of you have thought within yourselves it would have been good if Mussolini had not been born. Can you not see the mystery? If the anti-propagation system would have been instituted in that nation and brought about a prohibitation to the birth, millions and millions of bodies would not be lying molding away in the dust today, and otherwise lying in the cold clay!
So i thought to call your attention to the fact, what it really means to get at the cause of destruction, of bloodshed and warfare and eradicating it and dispel it before it is conceived, The effect will wane of its own abnormal weight. If you get at the Cause of anything and bring an abolition to the cause, the Effect that would be and the Effect that is in evidence will wane and disappear of its own abnormal weight.
So it is a privilege to live in such a recognition and to be able to automatically and unthoughtfully speak and act as Jesus did; for without a Personal consideration I AM fulfilling the scripture! It would have been good for a good many of the people who are the causes of so much misery, disappointment and failure and dishonesty and corruption in the world today, if they had not been born.
I thought to take you back to the Teaching of Jesus, to give you a slight sketch of His Nature and of His Characteristics; for any person that will bring misery, disappointment and failure and suffering into the world, it would be good if they were not born, for such would not be in evidence if it was not for them. But as you train yourself in the way that your child should go–train your child seven years before he is born and train him seven years after he is born, and then let him go as he develops within and under the jurisdiction of your teaching and training, others will not be able to change him!
You hear a good many prop le say, “My girl and my boy got in bad company,” and this, that and the other. Train them in the way they should go when they are young, and before they are born, before they are conceived, and train them seven years thereafter, and they will not be deceived by others and will not be led erroneously!
That which is prenataled in the child, if it is good or evil, it is not easily eliminated or eradicated, therefore, as you have been made subject to vanity unwillingly–made subject to vanity unwittingly–reverse your gears of thinking and think in the positive direction and cause yourself and your posterity to be made subject to Righteousness willingly or unwillingly, so long as they are made subject to Righteousness it makes no difference. Aren’t you glad!
Some you find successful, some you find prosperous, some you find physically healthy and some you find to the extreme reverse of such conditions, resulting from the prenataled influence. Hereditation has overwhelmed them and cause them to be criminals at heart by nature, and it only takes GOD in the FATHERSHIP Degree to emancipate them from such conditions! Jesus in the Sonship Degree could not do it (Can you not see the mystery?) for Jesus said Himself concerning this mystery,
“I pray not that THOU shouldest take them out of the world, but that THOU shouldest keep them from the evil!”
Jesus could not stop them from doing things that were wrong effectively until He gave them over to the FATHER. That is why the FATHERSHIP Degree in consciousness is to be considered. That is why you need a better medicine that that of the limited degree of the Son, as it may be termed, for Jesus declared,
“My FATHER is greater than I!” That is what it is all about!
Not a True Believer in GOD–I mean, a True Believer–is in lacks. Not a True Believer in GOD, and one who knows GOD, is limited! It transcends the barriers of limitation; it goes on into Infinitude, the end you cannot vision; because He has tapped the source of all supply and contacted the great CREATOR, the One Who created Him.
Belief in Jesus will help. The same as the people say at times, “FATHER DIVINE is a good ‘man’” “I know YOU are a good ‘man’ and “I know you are” this, that and the other; I say, “Thank you,” and I do thank you, because I will bless you as good man can! But a great man cannot bless you as GOD can! Can you not see the mystery! Therefore, belief in a degree of GOD, from a servant to a friend and to a good man, you can receive a servant’s reward and can receive a friend’s reward, and you can receive a good man’s reward, but you cannot receive the Undiluted Blessings of GOD! That is why it if different with those who know GOD!
Jesus depicted the mystery very explicitly when He said,
“This is Life Eternal, to know Thee, the only True GOD!”
Knowledge is greater than that of believing. Belief is an expression that will lead you on to the knowledge of the Truth. As you believe and are sincere it will lead you and guide you. If you are true and faithful and faith will eventually five you the Victory, but in GOD, things Jesus CHRIST your LORD! So it is a privilege.
You wonder why it is some can act differently and be filled with more enthusiasm and have the victory more effectively. It is according to your faith!
Receive your GOD from any and every angle expressible1 god IS A Blesser from the lowest degree to perfection.
So these thoughts are well worth considering. Hence, as you live in this recognition, the most insignificant, the most illiterate and the most ignorant person after the manner of men, is the one who is susceptive and ready to receive the Message from Him Who liveth forever and forever! It is strong medicine, it is true but you need strong medicine!. You need the strongest medicine you can get, to save you from death and destruction! Aren’t you glad! Well, if you are not interested in receiving such medicine, you are welcome to take homeopathic doses of a lesser degree of the unfoldment of the mystery and receive such results as such doses can give you!
But GOD is the Panacea for every ill; the Satisfier of every desire and the Adjuster of all matters, and will solve every problem, because GOD is Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent ; and when you believe in GOD from that angle of expression, without any superstition, automatically the Spirit will tell you because it will lead you on to victory. I need not tell you Personally.
GOD as Spirit and Spirit alone does not speak to the children of men only in the language whereby they can understand Him but through His Condescension when HE came and as HE comes from time to time in your conscious recognition and realization. HE speaks even to those who cannot understand; but yet HE can speak in the actuated words of expression, for Jesus spoke parables to the children of men so they could understand Him.
This is a parable. Our daily activities are parables. They are parables of the actuated words of expression, of which was established and of which has been said,
“Actions speak louder than words.”
and I have gone forth with an inspirationic composition bearing witness to the foregoing statement and assertion:
“I will preach CHRIST in Words but more so in deeds and actions, and I will put My Spirit in the people and cause them to walk in My Statutes.”
Actions are very explicit if you in the actuated words of expression will express it in the language of actions, that those with whom you come in contact are accustomed of hearing, of seeing; they can understand you!
This is a wonderful blessing. The actuated words of expression speak more explicitly than I could tell you orally. These are words that are profound and they are astounding to the average conscious mentality of mortality, for they said themselves they cannot understand it; but yet it is simple to ME! Live in this Recognition and you will be charged with this Magnetism! The Recognition and Contact of the Christ Consciousness will make the contact with the Infinite Spirit and it will be transmitted, and you will be charged with this Magnetism that will attract and draw everything necessary to you! Aren’t you glad!
I have not yet taken up a collection; I have not yet done any soliciting and I AM not expecting to do any; and I AM not expected by My True Followers to ever do any! They do not believe I ever will! This Magnetism will attract and draw everything necessary–everything that your heart can desire for it carries in itself that of which is necessary, and the Essence and the Substance thereof, with the Magnetism to draw it, even as the gravitation of the earth will attract things and draw them down to itself!
Live in this Recognition! Oh, that man could but know the Truth and imbibe the CHRIST in all of His Fullness and bring forth the CHRIST to fruition within by living soberly, Righteously and GODLY! By this all things would be possible, for Jesus did tell the Disciples, “If you have the faith of a grain of a mustard seed” you can do this, that and the other! Can you not see the mystery? Therefore, it is not you as a person but HE Whom you have contacted; and through concentration on that Perfect Picture the reaction of your concentration will attract and draw that which is necessary and bring it into subjection as GOD declared through the Mouth of Jesus:
“If ye shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, . . . it shall be done.”
Anything that is necessary, it will come forth into expression, for GOD on Whom, you are concentrating, is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, and His Spirit will attract and draw and bring that thing into subjection through your concentration and harmonization.
Harmonize! Jesus said,
“Whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do.” “Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there AM I in the midst of you.”
And again He says, as touching things that you may desire:
“If two or you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them.”
It is something wrong when they don’t get whatsoever they want. Aren’t you glad! You are glad to know there is something wrong when men fail to accomplish their desires; because if it was not something wrong, you would be afraid to try it, because you know GOD would not give you what you desire! That it is a true saying, it is something wrong.
Hence, you should not condemn GOD but condemn yourself; in other words, know there is something wrong with yourself; there is nothing wrong with GOD! It says,
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you!”
This is not a supposition! Now if it is not opened and if you do not find and it is not given, why, it is something wrong with you! Believe thou this and ask according to faith. Your prayers are heard and answered speedily, for the Mouth of GOD has declared it! Hence, I rejoice and AM glad because something is wrong with those who do not get whatsoever they ask for! Aren’t you glad!
Therefore,
“Rejoice in the LORD always and again I say, rejoice!”
all the way and always–and lo, I will be with you! Your prayers will be heard and answered speedily, for the Mouth of GOD has declared it!
“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of GOD,”
but at times it is required by some of you to see something; for Thomas said he would not believe unless he could see. But I came down here on Brigantine Beach to let the people see!
When Doubting Thomas thrust his hand in His Side and could feel and see tat a spirit has not flesh and bones–could see definitely that Jesus was not just something supernatural or invisible–he cried out,
“My LORD and My GOD!”
I came to let the people see!–Handle ME and Feel ME socially, intellectually, scientifically and from every angle expressible because a Spirit has not flesh and bones! But you can Handle ME from any of these angles expressible reiterated and you will see.
If you choose to handle ME politically, if you choose to handle ME legally, if you choose to handle ME intellectually, if you choose to handle ME scientifically, if you choose to handle ME socially, if you choose to handle ME financially–from every angle expressible, according to the mortal version, you may handle as much as you choose! You will see that I AM Real! I Thank you! I thank you! I thank you!
