A beautiful Message was read from The New Day, being the one which FATHER gave on Wednesday afternoon, August the twenty-eight at His Madison Avenue Residence, whilst at the Banquet Table. At the conclusion of the reading, several testimonies were given, after which our Beloved Savior and Redeemer, FATHER DIVINE, arose and delivered this glorious Lecture.
The thoughts herein present a marvelous preview of the great works that are going to be translated into scientific and inventional improvements for the use of mankind generally, coming from the fount of GOD'S Omniscience.
Read these glorious Word of Spirit and Life and see for yourself that the Lord is truly bringing forth a great and marvelous Work before the eyes of this present generation.
Thank YOU, O Great CREATOR!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks s follows:)
Peace, Everyone: Good Health, Good Will, a Good Appetite; All Wisdom, All Knowledge and All Understanding; Righteousness, Truth and Justice enacted accurately among you! These and all other Blessings I AM actually stressing and putting forth into expression so that you might enjoy them!
In the reading of the Message just a moment ago and in the last testimony as you heard, I thought to say distinctly and positively, there is no need to worry if you realize the Truth as portrayed and demonstrated among you. Christ is actually Rich and all you need from every angle expressible, and I do not say it superstitiously. I AM not speaking suppositionally but I AM speaking as a realitor, realizing and causing others to realize whatsoever I have said to you. Aren't you glad!
I thought to say, what is the use of paying thousands and thousands of dollars for metaphysical teaching? What is the use of paying all of this money and making other unnecessary studies to find something when you have it among you? In the conclusion of that Message as read from The New Day, "His Name shall be called Immanuel, being interpreted, GOD is with us!"
If you realize Christ is rich and all you need, and will and actually does your every hunger feed, you can relax you conscious mentality from that egotistic activity in trying to get something metaphysically or from a theological point of view, for the very Spirit of GOD'S Presence is all the psychology and everything else you need!
Just think of these Words I have spoken coming dynamically as an explosion, coming from and through and by the volitionated expression of these electrons of electricity that I quicken within you and within Myself to crack the Atoms of MY Bodily Form, to bring out things that are old and new, that science and invention have not yet discovered. But I will bring them forth to you! Aren't you glad!
Just think of it!
"Christ is rich and all you need! GOD will your every hunger feed!"
This is not a supposition. You have left the world of imagination, you are now living in the world of recognition and of realizations! You can realize the fondest desire you have surmised!
You have visualized and have surmised many great things, but the realization of your fondest imagination I will bring into actuality and will cause your realization to be actually established. Aren't you glad!
You can get more truth, if I must say it Myself, from one copy of The New Day — scientific and inspirational, spiritual, metaphysical truth — and more scientific theory from a theological point of view than what you can get out of books that cost ten or fifteen dollars each!
I knew a man several years ago, a practitioner as a metaphysician, who published a little book, a little small book. It was twenty-five dollars! I have known of others who, it has been said, charge as much as one thousand dollars per transcript for their lectures transcribed, and men of wide wit and advanced in science and metaphysics have declared that these lectures were not a reflection of the mystery of what I AM telling you through these Lectures I AM daily giving you!
And think about all of this is absolutely Gratis — Free as the air, the breath of life you breath! Then I say, it is something to praise GOD for!
Live in this recognition and build upon this Foundation, for Christ is rich and all you need — can, and will, if you live in ME, your every hunger feed!
Oh, it is something to consider! For,
"As in Adam all die, so shall in Jesus Christ all be made alive!"
And as you lived in sin and directed your mind and attention to sin, vice and crime and sinning, all of your energy and ambition, your understanding, your culture and all of your information have been converted to Righteousness, Truth and Justice! We have a-plenty of it! Oh, it is something to consider!
Live in this recognition: make your mental and spiritual contact and I will help you! From every undesirable condition you can be lifted, for this is the Sample and this is the Example! This will answer every problem; in other words, solve the problem and answer every question. Can you not see the mystery?
Where there is unity, there is strength, but where there is division there is strife! But oh, how glorious it is to have this unity in evidence that has actually eradicated and dispelled all undesirable conditions from among us! As I explained in that Message, as the light dispels darkness, even so does GOD cause everything to the contrary to get out of the way!
This is not a supposition. The abundance of the fullness from every angle expressible, everything that is desirable and a-plenty of it is at our disposal! Can you not see the mystery? By living Soberly, Righteously and Godly among the people the Spirit of MY Actual Presence supernaturally established and yet visibly recognized as Personified, has eradicated the undesirable and has actually established the desirable!
God converts not only men and women as the average representatives of religions, but GOD converts customs and even systems! The Labor System, the Capitalistic System and all of the systems of power in expression economically, socially and otherwise, GOD converts them and brings them into subjection to GOD!
GOD converts the atmospheric condition as explained in that Message. The time cometh and is near at hand when there will not be a contagious germ of a disease existing in the atmospheric condition in the land! Firstly mentally and spiritually, then scientifically established and mechanically manifested with victory, GOD will give it, or give you the victory over those conditions and cause the undesirable to be eradicated and dispelled from among you!
Oh, how glorious it is to get this first-hand and get it afore-hand, before the spread of divers germs of disease of all sorts from the warring nations! When this is established within you mentally and spiritually this will give you a great vaccination so you will not catch the germs of those diseases!
But for the materialists I speak after the manner of men. I speak with science and invention. I AM giving them an inspiration.
Through the broadcasting system we shall bring about the fumigation of the atmosphere in which we are living, to fumigate the atmosphere universally and kill all of the germs that are antagonistic and are negative! Aren't you glad! Science will do the work mechanically if I give them the inspiration, but they must get it from a scientific point of view and endeavor to do it mechanically through some scientific discovery and invention!
By Inspiration From GOD, FATHER DIVINE,
HIS Library Has Come Forth
GOD is working among the nations! Aren't you glad! Truly might I have said by composition years ago,
"Everything works better and better,
Everything works for the best;
Things don't work just like they used to,
Everything works for the good of man!"
Through science and invention by giving them the inspiration from the spiritual realm to the material plane they will bring out these inventions mechanically to cooperate and fulfill MY Purpose on earth among men! Aren't you glad!
Truly might have Edison said, "There are millions of instruments to be invented that have not been thought of in connection with electricity!" He Predicted this just before his passing. The same spirit is just as active and just as expressive, for it was GOD'S Spirit to him transmitted! Aren't you glad!
GOD deals in the affairs of men! Your very bodies are the radiations, the radiation and the reincarnation, the reproduction and also the receiving set of the wave lengths that are sent out from the high light of understanding, from science and from invention. Even though many things come through humanity, they are reproduced and manifested again and brought out and brought into outer expression and made many different inventions for the comfort and for the convenience of the people. Aren't you glad!
I need not say more. The Inspirator will inspire the inventors and the materialists and give them understanding even though they may not understand the mystery of GOD'S Actual Presence. But when I explain it scientifically and mechanically through them as materialists, then they will understand it better, because I AM actually telling them in actions, through them better than words by inspiration could be given!
Oh, how glorious it is to live with GOD in heaven, for this is the Fount of His own Omniscience! His Actual Presence, as the Omniscient, is Ever Present, Omnipresent and will put forth Himself into expression from every angle expressible such as may be necessary for the people! Things that are not necessary to come forth into expression, I may evade the issue and veil MYSELF and keep MYSELF in the inner until the time comes to be brought into the outer and into outer expression, that I might tell you openly better than I could tell you by revealing something to you or telling you something that you could not see visibly! So it is a wonderful privilege!
Now take these thoughts to consideration. Just think of it — Christ is rich and all you need! I say Christ is rich and all you need! I mean everything you need from every angle expressible, from every point imaginable!
If you consider the Omniscience and Omnipotence and Omnipresence of GOD, and the Omnilucent Presence of lighting up every pathway, you would be willing and ready to say with ME, "Christ is rich and all you need!" — satisfying every desire! If you get ME aright, if you never had a letter or never knew a letter of the English alphabet it would matter little to you, for Christ is Omniscient and He can "Omniscient" you! Aren't you glad!
Take these thoughts to consideration and build upon this Foundation if you wish to! Hence, you will be emancipated from every superstition, from every belief of a limitation, from every belief of a barrier of such an expression as being termed hardships and adverse and undesirable conditions, for GOD, your great CREATOR, being with you, is better and greater than all conditions imaginable or created presently in consideration! I thank you!
