While all were assembled around the banquet table in the beautiful dining room of the New Paltz Extension , the Promised Land, FATHER delivered this brief, but very significant message wherein HE points out the fact that a wide open consecration and sacrifice is the only way of salvation. We know as FATHER has taught us, that it can only be accomplished through and by a complete self denial.
As an old saying goes, a hint to the wise is sufficient, therefore we will all take cognizance of this message and be governed hereby.
Prior to the message, FATRHER sweetly sang this beautiful little composition.
Precious Savior, we thank THEE.
(The foregoing statement comes from the transcriber, and FATHER’S Message is a follows preceded by HIS composition:)
“Peace and happiness, peace and happiness in this land;
I have peace and happiness, peace and happiness,
Peace and happiness in this land.”
Peace, Everyone!
Here we all are again! I AM still on the Judgement Throne judging the quick and the dead. That little composition I brought out as a message and yet to be considered as a reality to those who can sing it with ME with the spirit of sincerity.
If you can sing it conscientiously, and know definitely you have peace and happiness, to you it is a living reality; in this happiness you are established. Whilst listening to the different testimonies, I thought of how marvelous it is in MY consideration, if not in others, for individuals to be consecrated to the service of GOD, and all being consecrated and sacrificed as a living sacrifice of yourselves, the only way of salvation; altho as I say, there are those who may shout to the top of their voices, if they are not fully consecrated and a living sacrifice to GOD, in MY consideration they are not truthful and they are not happy in reality because they are not acting according as they may speak.
Now those who know they have presented their bodies as living sacrifices wholly to GOD, which is their reasonable service, those who know they are not conformed---which is to say, who are not accustomed to the customary customs of the world, they know they are living according to MY Teaching and they know their works and ways to ME are pleasing. Therefore you can speak volitionally and spontaneously and the spirit will bear witness of it. But when you are not true to your trust and have not come up to the requirements as a child of GOD, if you claim to know GOD in reality, it is a matter of impossibility for you to feel MY Spirit and live in selfishness and self-indulgence. I speak of this because there are those of you who think they can do things and hide. I heard one say by composition, “I will surrender all, all to Thee my Blessed Savior, I will surrender all.” This is the way Jesus has come as a living sacrifice to GOD.
Jesus sacrificed His own Life and gave up the whole Kingdom of GOD, according to the religious worlds version, that He might redeem humanity, and came on the earth plane to show mankind how they should do and the way they should go; in a way of speaking, Christ died that you might live. It is a wonderful thought to consider.
It is a true saying, religion--- in other words, salvation in MY language, is not a thing that money can buy, else the rich would live and the poor would die. Nevertheless, on the other hand, money has got between GOD and man thousands and thousands and millions of times. The love of money is the root of all evil and money will sever you from GOD.
What said I concerning the mystery? The love of money as I said is the root of all evil. Salvation is not a thing that money can buy else the rich would live and the poor would die, but on the other hand what did I say? What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? If anything can be between you and your GOD, even the breath you breath, if it is yours, you are not all of ME. I thank you.
