FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE
Penthouse Banquet Table, Divine Lorraine Hotel
Through gathering together in the unity of the Spirit, of mind, of Aim and of Purpose, angels from the different extensions in the Promised Land and some who had motored up from New York City, all enjoyed the privilege and blessing of being in FATHER’S Personal Presence on this occasion. We also had in our midst, a Rev. James, of Richmond, Virginia, who had come for the expressed purpose of making a personal contact with FATHER and to seek HIS guidance and assistance concerning personal matters. Rev. James also brought with him his wife, (accompanied by a nurse) who is an unfortunate victim of a stroke, which caused her limbs below her waist to be useless, and through hearing of FATHER, she had come with her husband on this visit!
During the course of the Banquet, testimonies and songs were given in praise and glorification to our MAKER, for the limitless blessings bestowed upon mankind and the many healings that have taken place with the different individuals, through their implicit faith and trust in FATHER DIVINE! After the proof-reading of one of FATHER’S recent Messages, given at the 126th Street Extension, we were blessed with a beautiful composition from the LORD, HIMSELF, after which HE delivered this brief but consoling Message!
(The foregoing statements come from the transcriber, after which FATHER sings and speaks as follows:)
Thank YOU, FATHER!
“Won’t you come where the healing water flow?
It is joy, it is health and it is life and love for you;
Won’t you come where the healing waters flow?”
Peace, Everyone! Life, Love, Health and Liberty! These and all other blessings I AM giving. I gave them by your contact with ME, by harmonizing, as you would harmonize with a co-worker in something on the material plane. By harmonizing mentally and spiritually, you bring about an harmonious condition, as I said in that Message.
That little composition I just brought forth for your consideration— if you come where the healing waters flow, you can be healed of afflictions, sickness and diseases, of sorrow, misery and woe! All of these conditions can be adjusted satisfactorily by the recognition of GOD’S Actual Presence, by you binging your bodies into subjection and living exactly according to MY Teaching. It is a privilege to realize, the thing you vividly visualize, you tend to materialize! If you merely visualize the invisibility of the CHRIST, the intangibilization of the CHRIST, naturally you will bring yourself into the invisibilization of existence, which will merely be in the mythological world, where the superstitious believe Heave is! That is the thought of it!
But if you believe in the Personification of CHRIST, and believe in it sincerely, the reaction of your personified thoughts concerning your GOD will bring you the tangibilated desirable result, and that will be the redemption of your Body as well as the redemption of that which is termed your Soul. The religions of the past and of today, they have believed in the intangibility of the CHRIST, the invisibilization of the CHRIST! GOD HIMSELF also, in their consideration, could only be reckoned or considered invisible, as a Principle, as a Spirit non-personified or intangible. But when you realize. that which can be surmised, can be personified and can be materialized, why, such a recognition will cause your mental and spiritual energy to seek something, even if you are not conscious of it, a way for the tangibilization of that of which you have been seeking and of that which you have reckoned! The Spirit of GOD’S Presence here on earth with you, Tangibilated!
The earth in the beginning of the creation— when the earth was void and without form, it had no form nor comeliness, as did the CHRIST in the beginning! But one did speak concerning the mystery and declared concerning the CHRIST in his prediction:
“When thou shall see HIM— there shall be no beauty desire HIM, ”
for the very Spirit of GOD’S Presence was present at that time. But according to the vision and the prediction of the prophet as he had only advanced to a certain degree, he could only see the intangible CHRIST as impersonal, as invisible, as a Principle; but I said,
“When thou shall see HIM,”
>
HE would not have any form nor comeliness in the beginning. You see the mystery?
As it was in the beginning of the creation when GOD created the earth and the Heaven, the earth was void and without form, but as GOD being Infinite, even without a Body and without being, Tangible, GOD said according to the Scripture, yea, according to Biblical history, “Let dry land appear!” Dry land appeared! “Let there be light and there was light.” And all of these things came forth into expression! They are still coming forth into expression as GOD speaks them into observation.
So the earth was void and without form, and GOD spoke the earth into visibility and into outer expression, that you might see, in this advanced civilization, as GOD visiblilated the invisible and intangible earth, HE visibilates and materializes HIMSELF and everything else. GOD gave the earth a body before He gave Himself ONE! From whence the Body of GOD in the Name of CHRIST came! Through the generations and generations of the children of men, of humanity on earth, CHRIST apparently came in a Body of Flesh; in the likeness if sinful flesh, CHRIST CAME!
This recognition was for the redemption of the Bodies of the children of men; the souls or the spirits, whichever, were redeemed in a great measure, but that which was invisible would not suffice, to merely be redeemed from a spiritual and from an invisible point of view! But the essential for you, was that the CHRIST would be visibilated, tangibilated, materialized and personified, that you, as persons, might consciously realize the tangibilization of your GOD, and believe in the tangibilated CHRIST, the Personified CHRIST, the materialized CHRIST! Such a belief actually worked in your physical system, purifying your minds and even purifying your blood in your veins, and causing your physical bodies to be made whole!
This was done in the late days, and when Jesus Christ came in the early days of Christianity, healing the sick and raising the dead and giving sight to the blind, because He came in a visibilated, tangibilated, personified Bodily Form, they who believed in Him as a Person being GOD, they were healed of their afflictions, sickness and diseases and were emancipated from undesirable physical conditions with which they had been handicapped.
Oh, it is a privilege to observe the mystery! The belief in the personification of GOD, is the redemption of your body, your soul and your all! That is the Mystery! But if you merely believe in the invisibilation of GOD, the intangibilization of GOD, you can only expect to get the results in that which is termed your Soul, but not in that which is known to be your Body and your material affairs on the earth plane, while you live here and now!
But because CHRIST was made practical and made scientific and accurate on the material plane, by this recognition one could say, even as you all should be able to say today:
“Be it known to you and to all of the peoples of the universe, that as by the Name of Jesus Christ, (the Personal Body of GOD) whom they crucified, Whom GOD raised (as a Person) from the dead, even by Him does this man stand here before you whole.”
Then I say the belief in the personification of GOD is the redemption of your Body as well as your soul. Men have taught mysticism and have kept men in superstition from the early days of Religion, getting them away from the reality and the practicality of GOD, for God is not a reality, so long as you observe HIM merely mythologically; but when you observe Him psychologically as a living reality, made Real, Tangible and Practical, such a recognition will do you good in your physical system and in your daily dealings and in your daily activities! That is the mystery!
That is why things work harmoniously with those of MY Followers who are the recognizers of the tangibilization of GOD! Those who realize GOD has been tangibilated, personified and universalized in the hearts and minds of men as a Redeemer and a Savior of them in a Bodily Form! Such a recognition has been the redemption of millions and millions of bodies, from sickness and diseases, from afflictions, from sorrow and from misery! This is the redemption of your Body! This is the redemption of your soul; by believing that Christ is All and in all, filling all spaces, yea, filling the spaces that are yet unknown and untold, and being absent from none!
What a privilege it is to live in such a recognition! But such can only be observed and brought to fruition by the superstitious ideas and opinions of those who are superstitious enough to believe that which is apparently unbelievable, by losing your former orthodoxy, as a religious belief in the invisiblization of GOD alone; by recognizing the Actual Presence of your Savior as a Redeemer of your Body, as a Redeemer of your Soul! Aren’t you glad?
By such a recognition, things work harmoniously! GOD is in this building, in business, in profession, in labor and in trade, and in all you do and in all you personally say! That is the only way to get the reality of GOD among you! So long as you keep GOD in the mythological realm, away from you and from other’s personal presence, business and affairs, you cannot have GOD’S protection there, but when you get GOD in your consciousness from every angle expressible, realizing GOD as a living reality through His condescension came to meet you on whatever plane you are on, and to reach and meet the conditions of all mankind, there is where you will find your GOD as the Redeemer and the Savior of you all!
Upon this foundation of faith if you all will stand and build upon it and will not be shaken, but be substantiated in faith, lo, I will be with you, now, henceforth and forever, and victoriously a Conqueror! Even as I, you will be able to go, conquering every foe. I thank you!
