We Have Two Races On Earth Now; We Shall Bring the Human Race Into the Angelic
Until All Are Evangelized  — FATHER DIVINE

Our FATHER'S Message at the Banquet Table 20 West 115th Street New York City
Wednesday Afternoon February 2, 1938 A.D.F.D. Time — 1 P. M.

 

 

In yesterdays Message, delivered by FATHER from this Banquet Hall, the explanation of the Scriptural quotation,

"And of HIS KIngdom and of HIS Increase there shall be no end,"


was very definitely explained by FATHER.

FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE
with some of the living Epistles 

FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE with some of the living Epistles.

Daily we see the fulfillment of this, and many other predictions of the Spirit. We see them made real. Of the Kingdom's expression, as was also explained by FATHER in the same Message, there is no end. The freedom of the Spirit in those who express in the LORD by reason of their self denials and sacrifices, is now made manifest in these living Epistles who count their lives as naught that they might live in Christ.

If the church at large were true to its convictions, it would unhesitatingly welcome and receive the Materialized Expressions of the Word, which is the Foundation upon which it supposedly stands; but because it does not live its teaching, it fails to be legitimately connected to Christ, and is as an outlaw or a stranger to Christ, hence the relationship is not recognized, and as the church waxes cold, the fire of the Holy Spirit continues to burn the dross of the world, and the Truth of GOD goes marching on, fulfilling its mission.

FATHER delivered this marvelous Message, while thousands absorbed the substance thereof. Some visitors were present and gave expressions of gratitude.

Unanimously , Blessed LORD, we thank THEE.

(FATHER speaks as follows, making reference to a little song which HE inspired one of the Angels to sing.)

"I have bits in my mouth, and shackles on my feet, and I am not going to sin anymore."




Peace, Everybody! ";Peace, FATHER Dear!" responded the joyous assembly.)

That little composition can be reiterated by a good many of you. At least, according to your conscious conviction, you believe that there are bits in your mouths and shackles on your feet, in the way of preventing you and prohibiting you from sinning and going in the way you have been going. then the composition said,

"I have bits in my mouth, and shackles on my feet, and I am not going to sin anymore."

If this you make as an assertion, as a  declaration, stand to your declaration. If you have declared you are not going to sin anymore, to be substantiated in faith and let your words be your bond. Let them secure you by standing firm regardless how things may come, regardless to how things may go. If you are substantiated in faith and unshaken in confidence, you can say continually, "I am not going to sin anymore."

Now in reference to the anti-lynching bill, I wish to say, it is true, it is a message requested, yea, demanded by ME, and it must be fulfilled; nevertheless it may not be immediately legalized, but whether it is legalized or illegal, I have the answer to the problem, for I heard you say and I heard you sing,

"FATHER'S Love is stirring up the nations."

It is bringing all mankind into the unity of the Spirit, of mind, of aim and of purpose; therefore, when GOD gets inside of a person, GOD will change the condition of the minds of the children of men with whom that person is concerned. Aren't you glad?

Then I need not do anything legally unless I wish to. It is through MY Condescension to reach men on the material plane to help them in whatsoever they are allegedly doing, that I introduced the anti-lynching bill, which has been picked to pieces, in a way of speaking, and attempted to be introduced by several other representatives, but in the name of their anti-lynching bill; nevertheless they may try to  adulterate MY anti-lynching bill, but I shall accomplish MY endeavors even though it is not made legal. That is the mystery, and that is why men are stirred concerning this Mission and this Peace which we are stressing. Why? Because it is bringing mankind in harmony in the unity of the Spirit, of mind, of aim and of purpose, and causing all nations of the earth, all so-called races, even though there be five instead of two, according to man's version, GOD shall bring them all together as "one man at Jerusalem".

Is not this a beautiful sample? And I have declared to all humanity, this is only a slight sketch and a reflection of a percent of a percent of a fraction of a grain of a percent  of the universalization of the infinite unity of Spirit, of mind, of aim and of purpose that will bring all of the nations universally together. Although it is just a slight sketch  and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of it, yet it is enough to tell you what will be after a while.

Just look at the beautiful faces! Just look at the appearance of the different so-called nations and of the appearance of the different so-called races; but I shall unify them together as it was in the beginning of the creation of the world. In the beginning they were all of one language and of one speech, and they were all of one nationality and one race. Aren't you glad? They all merely represented the human race. Aren't you glad? If there be two races, there will not be two races of the human race, saving as they are translated and transformed by the renewing of their mind, and become to be a people of the Angelic Host.

We have two races on the earth now. We have the Angelic race and we have the human race. These are the only two races we know anything about — the Angelic race and the human race. We shall bring the human race into the Angelic race until all will be Evangelized and Angelic as well as you and I. That is what it is all about. ("It is wonderful!" rang out the loud shouts from the assembly.)

You know those poor creatures in the South — I mean those who think they are in authority, the poor creatures bound down with prejudice and hate and debauchery of every kind — when GOD shall have reached out HIS long arms . . . I AM reaching them now; I shall cause the nations of the earth to love one another even as they love themselves, and when this is accomplished, there shall be no more division, there shall be no more strife; by interpretation, there shall be no more sickness, there shall be no more sorrow; there shall be no more pain and there shall be no more death; for the Tabernacle of GOD is with men and HE shall dwell with them,

"GOD Himself shall be with them, and shall be their GOD and they shall be HIS people."


That is what it is all about.

Then realize GOD Himself is with you now, no longer limited to the Sonship Degree; but what said the mystery concerning Him?

"And GOD shall wipe all tears from their eyes. There shall be no more sorrow, and there shall be no more crying, for the former things are passed away."


Aren't you glad? We do not even have formal banquets; we have things according to the Spirit, and not according to the formality of men. Aren't you glad?

What said the Apostle as a request and a beseeching of those who were of the Household of Faith?

"I Beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of you mind."

We have daily banquets. We have daily parties, but they are not formal affairs. Be not conformed to this world. We do not wear nor dress according to what the mortal mind would consider you should do to go to a banquet. These we have daily, here and every where that I AM Personally, and they are not formal. Aren't you glad? For John declared it , and I re-declare the same, but I declare it in actions in the fulfillment of what he had said:

"GOD shall wipe all tears from your eyes."


Have you ever seen such an audience as this, and as these with the thousands together in the spirit of sincerity and in the devoutness of their religious  conviction, and their eyes be dried, free from all crying? You do not see very many wet eyes around here, do you? Aren't you glad? And GOD has wiped all tears from their eyes. There is no more sorrow; there is no more crying, for the former things are passed away, and as I afore said:

"The Tabernacle of GOD is with men,"


the Body of GOD.

"HE shall dwell with them, and shall be their GOD and they shall be His people."


Aren't you glad?

That is what it is all about. That is what they are stirred about. They are stirred because of such a great conversion, and because of the Name of GOD, and because of the Name of HIS Majesty among this people that has lifted them above materialism, above mortality and the mortal versions and has saved them from grieving and from crying, from lacks, from wants and from limitations, and GOD has established their going in the land of the living, and is bringing them in the unity of the Spirit, of mind, of aim and of purpose. Just as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in this dispensation. They shall be of one language, of one nationality, of one race and of one speech. Aren't you glad?

The legalization of the different intellectual languages or national languages may be established. The legalization of the unity or of the unification of the international languages may be established that all languages might be recognized nationally and universally; nevertheless, the reality of such a language as is spoken, the out-picturing of it is the actuated words of expression, the actuated words of expression of which we are daily speaking, for "Actions speak louder than words." Aren't you glad? Nevertheless, the inner language according to your respective nationality or nation, we  shall speak according to same even in some language that all of the nations will be able to understand. That will be an open expression of the mystery, it is true, but the true language of which we are stressing, especially is the language of love for each and all of us; the language of love to be actuated and to be actually spoken in all of our actions and in all of our deeds, that we might speak such a language that all might understand it.

When all learn to speak that language, they will come together and speak orally the national language of each other, for they will be unified so closely together, the languages will be transmittable, even as it was at "The Day of Pentecost". Aren't you glad? At The Day of Pentecost, when the boys were charged to a high degree in the mental spiritual Realm, mentally and Spiritually the Holy Ghost descended and cause them to speak the national language of those who were in and around Jerusalem; for they were charged with such a mighty  current of GOD'S Infiniteness, the same as your radio receiving set when it is charged up and you dial in on such a station; the transmission of a message coming from others who are broadcasting, will come to you, or that station through the receiving set on  which you are dialing in, that you might get the message from yonder broadcasting station.

In the high vibrations of the Spirit, when your energy and your mentality are charged to a high degree of unfoldment, and when you are thinking in the different directions, when you are quickened and the others are thinking on you, their language of which they speak orally, from a national point of view, may be transmitted to you and cause you to speak it unconsciously. This I need not go so far into just now , for it has not yet been universally revealed, but the mystery of GOD will be revealed.

"They all spake with new tongues"


— in other words, in other tongues as the Spirit gave then utterance, and caused those who were in and around Jerusalem — the transmission of their language from their minds, as a mind reader would catch them. The Spirit unadulterated caught the message as it was transmitted, their language, that they might understand it. I thank you.
