How often GOD, our FATHER, tells us and has told us over and over again: "Be governed by your own highest intuition and let the Spirit within you lead you and guide you." This is applicable to one and all, and is the only way to give birth to that 'freedom' which all mankind is seeking. Yet there are always those who will attempt to regulate the lives of others from some one angle or another and prohibit the Spirit of GOD its full access in an individual.
This was vividly brought out by FATHER in the Message contained herein, where HE mentioned several such cases, and stressfully brought home the serious consequences involved when HE said: "For, if one is lost by what you say or do, their blood will be require at your hands!"
Take full heed to the 'warning' of GOD—abide in your own calling—and—let others do the same!
Merciful FATHER, we thank YOU for every 'lesson' so lovingly and freely given!
(The foregoing statements come from the transcriber after which FATHER speaks as follows:)
Peace, Everyone!
Here we all are again, if you will allow it to be—you in ME and I in you, the unity of Spirit and Mind—just what we should have been!
I was just thinking a little while ago, how glorious it is to be emancipated and to be free; which is to say, to be free in reality! If you retrace your thoughts back to a few years ago, wheresoever you would be, there was a sense of limitation, a sense of failure for the lack of the freedom of expression of Spirit, of mind, of aim and of purpose, and for the lack of the freedom of the access of the Spirit that was and still is within us.
Wheresoever you would assemble, there was a sense of a belief at that time that you could not be free to speak, to sing, to shout at the top of your voices in giving thanks and praise to MY Name!
But how glorious it is to see and to know what MY Spirit has actually done for you . . . paved out the way on the material plane in and on the different personal estates of the coworkers, followers, and participators where you are privileged to serve GOD to the dictates of your own conscience under your own vine and fig tree according to the Scripture!
Then I say, it is a privilege to be emancipated, but whilst you are emancipated to this degree, permit ME to emancipate others by giving them a chance to be governed by their highest intuition, and move according to their own volunteer volition, and not to be moved and controlled by yours.
I was thinking how it has been with ME, if you are of ME and not of yourself, if you will speak and act accordingly, and I will be the 'orderly' in this great 'seminary of salvation!' I will be the 'orderly' to meet all people in this great 'seminary of salvation,' and conduct them to the place where they should go to be governed and controlled intuitively as I will meet them within!
Now, I would like to convey to MY hearers and especially to MY Followers, those who are called MY Followers and Friends, as I have been by you, and as I AM, so be ye the same to others, that they too, as well as you, might be partakers of ME. If individuals are privileged to be governed by their highest intuition and move volitionally, they will eventually bring the CHRIST within to fruition, and be even as you are without your telling them.
I have had them to come in our midst from time to time, and I have even gone places where the sick and afflicted were, and I could say, you must do this or you must do that or you must do the other, but, as I have declared, I will guide you intuitively and inspirationally from within; I refrain from speaking as a Person that I might speak intuitively and inspirationally to lead them and guide them in a way that they will know it is GOD WHO Speaketh—for "it is better revealed than told!"
For this cause, I do not get in the way of MY Spirit, as a rule; I allow MY Spirit to lead and to guide and to inspire individuals just what they should do, and what they should not do. But, I set before them an open door, and as a Sample and an Example, I demonstrate that they might copy after the fashion of that which I AM demonstrating, for I AM Exemplifying it in their presence that they might observe the mystery by harmonization, and be led into the 'light' I have given.
I speak of this as I had in the time past; there are those who have come in our assemblies, and have come to ME Personally, who may be weak mentally and spiritually; some may be weak physically from some one of their five physical senses; some may not hear so well; some may not see so well; some may not feel so readily with the sense of feeling as they should; but I Believe MY Spirit—and I know It will guide them and lead them, if they love ME, and it will inspire them and give them the victory even as I, in Spirit, have given it to others. That is the mystery!
Then I say, it is a privilege to observe the mystery, and it is glorious for each and every individual to stay out of the way as a person, and let MY Spirit speak, lead and guide them.
It has been brought to MY Personal Attention, something an individual did this morning or last evening without MY Consideration as a Person. If they were led to do such, it was not according to MY Personal Plan nor Purpose. I had not Personally planned it nor thought it, although, if the Spirit led them to do it intuitively without any other individual telling them, why then, they themselves are responsible and not another.
You never hear ME tell a person, "Take off your rings" or do away with anything. I do not Personally tell you to do those things, for MY Spirit within, as if termed the Spirit of Christ within, if it is within you and you are consecrated to the service, the Spirit will lead you intuitively, and another will not have to tell you. But if you do anything because another tells you to do it, it may not be of MY Spirit as far as you are concerned; but the same thing another may be doing and it may be according to MY SPIRIT as far as he is concerned, because he is governed by the Spirit within. Can you not see the mystery!
GOD said to one, "Come," and HE said to another, "Go!" GOD said to one at one time "Come" and at another time HE said to the same one, "Go!" So the words that have been spoken to you intuitively or inspirationally or by signs or by actions, if you got the thought inspirationally and you have been inspired to do it yourself as an individual, another may not be inspired intuitively from that angle of expression.
Therefore, I say, be governed by your highest intuition and move according to your own volunteer volition; if you do, if you are true to your own religious conviction, you will bring the Christ within you to fruition, and you will not need another to tell you. That is the mystery!
Now, if the individual was led intuitively by the Holy Spirit within them to do such a thing, it was not brought to MY Attention; to ME, I will take you as you are, so long as you are consecrated to GOD! I heard one say by composition, of which was bespeaking the sentiment of millions, "Just as I am, without one plea, O Lamb of GOD, I come to THEE!"
Just as you are, GOD received you! If you sincerely believe ME, and will live exactly according to MY Teaching, MY Spirit within you will lead you intuitively and teach you and tell you what to do which is according to the Fundamental. If you do, you will not be led erroneously, and you will not have anything to regret, for that which you do or will do hereafter will be by MY Spirit!
Some will come to you, as I said in the city here the other week, and tell you, you should testify this or you should testify that . . . try to put the words in your mouth, what you should say and what you should do. That which is in the minds of others, it may not be for you; but that which is for you will come forth volitionally, intuitively and inspirationally according to the dictates of your own conscience and according to your conscious religious conviction. You may not get the same inspiration and information another may get, for it may not be for you yet; but when the time has come for you to get that leading, the Spirit is just the same, and just as expressive for you as it was for others . . . even the whole universe!
Oh, it is a privilege to observe the mystery! Now be governed by your highest intuition as far as I AM concerned; be moved volitionally from the within, and do not allow others to control you, especially in doing what the Spirit should or would tell you; for the Spirit within will tell you intuitively or inspirationally or in some way whereby you will know definitely the way you should go and what you should do. That is the mystery!
Build upon this Foundation; I will be with you, and I will give you victory over every difficulty, over every trial and over every tribulation, for GOD HIMSELF is victorious by Nature, and you are partakers of it when you harmonize with it! What a privilege to live in such a recognition!
It was called to MY Attention a couple of days ago—all the way from Richmond, Virginia—there was a man known as a priest down there caring for the unfortunate children; the one of whom you all saw this morning! He called ME up over the telephone, and said he was coming up here in a few days, and he desired to see ME Personally on some important business. He came, as he said, last night, arriving at Milton around two o'clock or a little after.
He carried with him in his car his wife, who is an invalid! He had mentioned her to ME last year when we had an outing up here. She was, and she has been, helpless! He carries her from place to place even in the house, wheresoever she wishes to go, even though he had a nurse for her. No doubt the nurse could not handle her! He desired to take her to the table—away from the table, and elsewhere, wheresoever she desired to go. Someone said,—"Put her down and let her walk!" Now I did not say that Personally! When I speak intuitively, and they obey ME volitionally, everything will be alright. After you all, a good many of you, said that, MY Spirit in him said, "When FATHER tells ME to do it, I will do it."
He could not see ME nor hear ME in you, for you had veiled ME from expression—for you yourself, were expressing personally according to your mortal version. But, had MY Spirit spoken in you volitionally or intuitively, and you did it unwillingly or said it unwillingly, not according to your own will, nor by the will of man, nor by the will of the blood, nor by the will of the flesh, but by the will of GOD Within—if this would have been said and done within you, there and then, MY Request in you would have been heard and answered speedily, and he would have been able to see ME. But, he could not see ME nor hear ME in you, for you were speaking as a person and from your own personal version concerning the mystery instead of allowing MY Spirit to speak within him and lead him and direct him by you refraining from speaking as a person by your conscious thinking.
MY Spirit could have spoken through you volitionally, against your will or against your power to control, and the Spirit would have accomplished that for which it came, and he, no doubt, would not have returned! But shortly after then, he came to ME and said he was not going any further up in the Promised Land, or words to that effect, because he must get back to New York City, but he desired to see ME before he did return on the business for which he came. This was true! He talked with ME, after which I AM quite sure he returned!
But, had self not expressed according to your personal version, according to your selfish ideas and opinions from a personal point of view, and you would have allowed MY Spirit to work in him, as you say it did in you, I would have, no doubt, healed the woman; if not immediately, no doubt, he would have stayed a little while longer, and followed us around in his car, and participated in the great demonstration, and she would have been able to see the reality of MY Presence and have had faith, and been healed of her afflictions!
Then I say, self should get completely out of the picture, and let MY Spirit lead and guide this people! For, if I have brought you and millions of others this far, I can carry you and all of them on to perfection, and I can give each and everyone his or her real emancipation!
Take these thoughts to consideration! Then I say, get out of the way, for I AM going through! Do not allow anything from a selfish point of view to have access in you, for you may hinder others, and the affliction or something else undesirable may automatically fall upon you. For, if one is lost by what you say or do, their blood will be required at your hands! That is the mystery!
Then I say, take these thoughts to consideration! Do not try to get ahead of ME if you know Who I AM! Why is it that you would tell someone to do something that I have not told them to do? I did not tell the angel or lady or whatsoever she may be termed, to throw away her rings. I did not tell her to do it Personally! If she was led to do it intuitively, it was not by ME telling her to do it Personally! I have not encouraged it nor directed a thought in that direction!
I was thinking on the Life that I AM advocating, and I know MY Spirit can and will transcend all barriers and all limitations, and will carry you on to Perfection if you will allow MY Spirit to lead you;
For this cause I have always striven to avoid publicity! For many years I have striven persistently to avoid all publicity, for I do not wish to publicize MYSELF as a PERSON, for I do not desire for Personality nor Individuality to be considered in the mentality of humanity. I desire them to observe the Impersonality and the Un-individuality of the Almighty!
Nevertheless, it was essential when the time did come, when the Spirit of MY Presence had developed in the hearts and minds of some, as one had who was full grown, it was essential for an Appearance to come forth into consideration as a rebuttal to those who had not been thinking in the positive direction, and observing negation, that the positive might be observed in a Personality, even as the negative had been established. That was the mystery!
For this cause, it was essential for Moses in Moses day, to no longer be hid, for he grew to a size he could no not be hid. Therefore, he was revealed and was seen and was felt and heard and handled by men. The same Spirit is Speaking today!
How glorious it is to live in such a recognition! When you build upon such a Foundation, you are building upon a Foundation of Spirit, of Power, of Reality, of a Principle, instead of mortality or instead of a mortal's version. Mortals' versions will teach you things—mortals' versions will recreate orthodoxy for you— but—the Divine Version of MY Spirit inspirationally will teach you democracy instead of orthodoxy. That is the mystery!
Then I say, consider this, and you will be lifted from orthodoxy of which will lead you captive into bondage if you will allow it to,whilst you automatically attempt to enslave or encumber others; you may be doing it unconsciously, but you are trying to bind someone according to your version into orthodoxy or into the version of orthodoxy, or the system or custom of orthodoxy by causing your versions to become to be orthodox.
I do not want MY Own Version to be orthodox! I came to bring you that which is democracy instead of orthodoxy, for where the Spirit of GOD is—there is Liberty! Therefore, the Constitution of this country politically, grants the privilege of freedom of speech, and the freedom of assemblage, and the freedom of the press— an expression of democracy instead of orthodoxy! that is the mystery!
Then I say, true democracy is the expression of Christianity if you speak it religiously, for it gives you liberty where you were in bondage! Can you not see the mystery! Where the Spirit of GOD is, there is Liberty! Therefore, you express the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press and the freedom of assemblage under the Constitution politically, and you are expressing an abstract expression as a sketch and a reflection of true Christianity which is commonly known as democracy. Can you not see the mystery!
Then, I will bring the reality of these qualities to fruition within you, and you will have victory over every limitation, over all adverse and undesirable conditions by refusing to allow your mortal mind to lead you and bind you, or lead others into orthodoxy, and try to bind them in your versions, or make MY Spirit and MY Mission, yea, even MY Statutes, orthodox instead of making them Democratic! I thank you!
