FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE
and the waitress Miss B. S. Love
Peace, Everyone: To you, MY fellow citizens, hearers, followers and friends that are here practically all of the time, and, from time to time you find young men, middle aged men, old men and women, as they may be termed, from every profession and from every trade and activity come in these different audiences, and they all say the same thing! The last speaker as a young man, served time in the army, and came and saw, and now he sees!
As I have said, times past, even when the boys were over there, I said, "I don't want them to think their fighting is in vain. I mean to establish Democracy on this side of the border and bring the nations together, and we shall have one nation indivisible, as says our Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag!" While they were fighting on the other side against the physical wicked ones that were trying to destroy Democracy and bring an end to the prospect of the people uniting, I said, "I will unite them and I shall have it just as I have it on MY immediate Staff and in MY Immediate Cabinet from shore to shore and from land to land, and their will be no barriers and limitations or no expressions of races, creeds and colors!"
I AM happy to present to the young man that lastly spoke, a Sample and an example of what you fought for and of what we shall have in the future!— a Sample and an Example of the kind of world in which you would like to live, where a man is a man and not a race, a creed or a color, and where all will have not only equal rights but all shall have the very same rights!
Now live in this recognition and be of good courage— thoughts at times may cause you to feel somewhat disturbed; especially when you hear of such hideous crimes of lynchings as the most recent lynching in the South, where four persons were shot down in cold blood, and especially two women— without any cause whatsoever— even without a pretense of a cause— it may cause you to be discouraged and feel like, where you were fighting on the other side you should have been fighting here!
But be not of a disturbed mind and be not discouraged, for this is the Sample and the Example! As you heard the doctor say a little while ago, from Canada, how I have drawn them out from Canada and I have also drawn them from all of the different countries, as afore mentioned, and I have some from the deepest parts of the South right here as believers and followers, that would be called of the caucasians, that are as true and faithful as those of their immediate connections of a darker complexion; for MY Spirit and Mind will do it!
"Where there is unity there is strength", it is true; and the Armies and Navies of the Big Four, as they call them, are great and powerful; but what said I concerning the mystery predictionally, in other words prophetically and as a prediction?
"It is not by power nor by might but by MY Spirit says the LORD!"
I have declared, "MY Spirit will do it and the Armies and Navies will not be able to do it, for the Government is upon MY Shoulder!"
"The arms of flesh will fail you— you dare not trust your own!"
But with this recognition and the realization of the Spirit of GOD'S Actual Presence you will know that GOD is just as operative and expressive as HE was before HE had any Body!
Before GOD had any Body, according to Biblical history, as Spirit and Spirit alone the Spirit of the LORD moved out upon the face of the waters and said:
"Let there be light and there was light!"
The same Spirit without a Body said,
"Let dry land appear!"
GOD created all of those things in the beginning of the creation; HE is just as operative and expressive today with HIS Body as HE was without it!
Now, "It is not by power nor by might but by MY Spirit says the LORD," and I know whereof I speak! MY Body shall not hinder ME!
Because I speak in the language of men so they can understand, do not think that MY Spirit— I as Spirit and Spirit Embodied or Personified— AM any less than before I had any Body!
"It is not by power nor by might but by MY Spirit says the LORD!"
Therefore, the great powers of the nations of our civilization with all of the great armies and navies, the military powers that have been and that still be— it is not by them that you will win victory, but "By MY Spirit says the LORD!" Can you not see the mystery? ("So true! Yes, LORD!" verified the assembly in one voice.)
Now here is the Sample (pointing to the beautiful mixed bouquet seated around and about the Holy Communion Table!) It may be small in proportion to the great universe at large. If it is only a percent of a fraction of a grain, of a percent of a fraction of a grain of a fraction of it, you can see the Sample and example portrayed! Just look at this vast audience— and this is only a percent of what I AM doing the Universe over, but it is telling you in the actuated words of expression, since "Actions speak louder than words", that GOD is a living reality and that GOD is bringing about this Democracy for which your boys fought and the sons and daughters of the childrenof men fought for on the other side! We have it!
Now let them copy after this fashion I AM showing them and the Universality of the Brotherhood of man will be made a Living Reality, Tangibilated, Materialized and Personified Universally, and none will have an occasion to doubt nor falter! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, FATHER Dear!" responded the joyful congregation.)
(FATHER turns to the young man seated at the Table who had spoken.) So as a word of encouragement to the last speaker, be of good courage! Aren't you glad! ("So glad!" echoed one and all.) I presented MY Body as a living sacrifice to this end. Not to Hitler as a war criminal in Germany, but to the savages of America that desired to destroy every thought of Truth as exemplified among you! But I was determined to establish it if it cost the sacrifice of the life in the Body, or the Body for the Life, that I might carry out MY Plan and Purpose and the establishment of GOD on earth might be a living reality! And so I AM not discouraged!
So to you, MY fellow citizens , hearers and friends, be not disturbed but be of good courage, for your redemption draweth nigh! Upon this foundation if you will stand you will find that eventually it will be as it is right here, all over the land!
Some may say, "Well, it is not like that, or exactly like this when FATHER is not there," or "where FATHER is not at all!" Well, I will make it so profound and so convincing to all humanity, they will be conscious of MY Everpresence! And when they are conscious of MY Everpresence it will be the same when I AM Personally absent or when I AM Personally Present! And that is what I AM talking about!
That is why it is good to realize that GOD is Everpresent— and realizing GOD is Everpresent you do not have to think, "Well, it is nice today because FATHER is here!" It is this way everywhere under MY jurisdiction when they live exactly according to MY Teaching! See the mystery? ("Yes, FATHER Dear! came the immediate reply.) And if you think it is this way here just because I AM at a place Personally, why then, if the people think that, why, they will be glad to come where I AM Personally!
Now the Doctor that spoke, just before the last speaker, said how he had been following ME for about ten years, yet had not seen ME until a few weeks ago when he came!— had not seen ME Personally, but yet I worked with them! And as I told him, he said, something about I would represent Canada and Canada would represent ME— I caused Canada to carry MY Name throughout the whole earth, and it is still carrying it! Not only Canada but as it is International— the Internationality of this Marriage and Interraciality, shall be for the making of the amalgamation of all nations and of all of the people, and eventually there shall be One Family! Can you not see the mystery? ("Yes, GOD Almighty!" exclaimed the adoring congregation.)
This is just One Lineage! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, LORD!" replied the joyful assembly.) And that is what it is making for— the One Lineage, Indivisible! When we pledge Allegiance to our Flag and say, "One Nation, Indivisible," that is good! It is marvelous! But I go you— yea, I go them, one better!— we are One Race , Indivisible—the Human Race— nothing more than the Angelic race!
Then I go you one step further; we are One Family Indivisible! As I said here last week and have said it on several occasions, "If we are not one family eternally, we are One Family while you are under this jurisdiction!" When we all sit at the same Table and I cause you to make yourself at home— One Family (aren't you glad!)— the common recognition of the FATHERHOD of GOD and the Brotherhood of Man is established! Therefore, you belong to this family presently! If you do not care to remain in this family, when you go out you might start drinking, swearing, fighting and doing everything else that you want to do; but while you are in here, under this jurisdiction, I can say, temporarily all of us are One Family! I thank you!
