FATHER DIVINE
After two beautiful lectures had been proof-read and our Precious Saviour had personally delivered a dynamic Message to be deeply considered by all, several individuals in the assembly were eager to testify, and in few cases was anything interesting or constructive said. One in particular spoke at great length, and the hearers became restless, wondering if he was ever going to finish speaking.
Observing that the vibrations which had been so wonderfully lifted by HIS life-giving Words, were being lowered by the spirit which seeks to prevent the Word of GOD from remaining in the minds of the fortunate hearers of them, the LORD chose this time to chasten the spirit of selfishness and warn one and all that the time is out for testimonies and confessions which take up so much valuable time. If these confessions cannot be made in a few words, they had best be reserved for a time when GOD HIMSELF has not just raised the vibrations and all are reveling in the CHRIST Consciousness.
If this warning is not heeded, it becomes necessary for the LORD HIMSELF to expose the speaker; so spare yourself this embarrassment by remembering this Message to all.
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and FATHER'S Words follow.)
Peace, Everyone!
Here I AM! I AM still the same as the live rail and as the dynamo for the children of men. Regardless to those minds and ideas and opinions seeking deterioration and the switching of the current of MY Spirit, MY Spirit is going on just the same.
I would just like to say at this instance; those of you who wish to testify these long testimonies, we have the dining room open all day and the auditorium open all day and until twelve or one or two o'clock every night; not only here but elsewhere. Now, those of you who desire to make these lon,g drawn-out testimonies like that, are welcome to do so; but when GOD speaks, MY Words shall go on with those who desire them. Those of you who do not want them, you do not have to stay in here. Those of you who do not want others to have them, if you have any friends in here who you do not want My Spirit and MY Mind to go with them, and you do not want them to keep ME on their minds, just quietly invite them out and they will not have to stay here to be impressed with MY Thoughts, with MY Spirit and with MY Mind.
Now the time is out for anything getting in the way! Matters not how you come! If it is not exactly in harmony with MY Spirit and MY Mind, MY Message and MY direct Version from whence I AM speaking, or from whence I AM reading, why, you should keep silent when I have given a Message. You have all day, all night and all the time at any and all of these places to come and make your long, drawn-out confessions and testimonies. You have time to do that before I speak!
There are those of Mine who are of ME, who desire for MY Spirit and MY Mind and MY Message to go on with them. They do not want to hear anything else but MY Spirit talk. . . . I said they do not want to hear anything else but MY Spirit and MY Mind and MY Message as I gave it. Now that is the thought of it.
There are those under the sound of MY Voice who delight in hearing ME speak. They do not want any deterioration, they do not want any detraction or deviation; for the Spirit of MY Presence must have free access in them to give them their real emancipation, and give them and others their real health and happiness they are seeking.
As I said in that little composition,
"All MY Paths are Joy and Peace, hallelujah! All MY Truths are Righteousness, Hallelujah! If MY Truth within you dwell,hallelujah! All is well, yes, all is well, yes, all is well."
Then I say, let these words abide with you, and lo! I will be with you, and if you keep ME in your mind and keep your mind stayed on ME, in Perfect Peace I will keep thee—not only this morning, but here in the future and elsewhere in the future; everywhere wheresoever I AM represented Personally.
When MY Message is read effectively and I have given a Message. why, you must fall in line with it and reckon it and you must raise your vibrations to be in the spirit and in the realm of the vibrations of MY Spirit to harmonize with MY Message, or else your testimonies right after I have given a Message cannot be appreciated.
We are not after lowering the vibrations. I say I am the Dynamo of Salvation! I AM the Powerhouse of Salvation! I AM the Live Wire! I AM the Live Rail of Salvation! Those who desire to get the current and to have the batteries of their souls charged, they must make the rightful contact and harmonize with ME, even you all. These thoughts are well worth considering.
I have noticed it—the vibrations may be lifted high where you will lose all contact with mortality, the earth and the mortal version, and you will be reveling in the glorious liberty of the sons of GOD in Heaven; there will come testimonies right after then to lower the vibrations, to deteriorate your thinking and even your ambition, by reversing your gears of thinking, if they can do so; causing you to detract from the Fundamental and deviate from the Principle that I have lifted as a standard. But I say, those who are true and faithful will adhere to this Message this afternoon and will live exactly accordingly and I will be with them.
We shall have Joy! We shall have Peace! We shall have Happiness! I have often declared and I re-declare the same as I have spoken it over and over again; a fish cannot live out of the water very long. Neither can a real Child of GOD live very long out of the Spirit. I have lifted the vibrations high and I have germinated the atmosphere in which you are living with the high voltage of MY Spirit, wheresoever you are charged with it. Hence, you cannot live out of the Spirit very long, not any more than a fish can live out of the water.
Stay in MY Spirit and stay in MY Mind, as I afore said, and in Perfect Peace I will keep thee whose mind is stayed on ME continually, without detraction or without deviation, without your thoughts deviating in the least—I will be with you, if you will allow ME to. I thank you.
Little has been said, but a whole lot meant. Aren't you glad! If you cannot cooperate with MY Message whole-heartedly and harmonize with it and be caught up in the rhythm of it and in the version of MY direct Message when I give it, why, then you should silence your voice from speaking right after I have given a Message and you should silence your voice from speaking right after I have read it, unless you can harmonize with it in the rhythm of it and in the vibrations that I have lifted or had lifted when I gave it. I thank you.
