THIS IS THE GREAT DAY!

I Have No One to Walk with ME but that Which Is Spirit of MY Spirit and Mind of MY Mind That's All!— FATHER DIVINE

 

MOTHER DIVINE returning from Sayville, 1995

MOTHER DIVINE.

 

FATHER DIVINE'S SERMON Given at LAUREL GARDEN
77 EAST 116th STREET NEW YORK CITY
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4th, 1932 A.D.F.D. TIME: Afternoon

After a secretary had read FATHER's Talk in the latest issue of the Metaphysical News, FATHER sang and spoke as follows:


SONG
"All the way, all the way, all the way
I came alone.
All the way, all the way, all the way
I came alone."


PEACE, to the World, and Good Will to Mankind, for which I came, and that I will explain. It is Wonderful! The little inspiration in the composition there, I said and I sang, "All the way I came alone."

First of all we would like to call your attention to the Lecture that was read a little while ago. That Lecture that was read was given several weeks ago, and it has been reported in the West, in Seattle, Washington, recorded in this last Metaphysical Magazine, and it came back to ME. But I had that Message read for your consideration because it was written, and anything that is written, it is not always spoken in so much enthusiasm and it does not always create so much emotion and vibrations and you do not get the understanding of what is being said. For this cause I had this Message read— not even I, MYSELF in Person reading—because I knew that if it were read as it was read, it would be understood better than being caught up in so much emotion or such a great vibration in the emotions and demonstrations, that you would not be able to hear what was actually said. It reads, as I said, "There are those that have transcended gravitation and then had looked back to the begging grounds of the world and have returned to the ground from whence they came." That is well worth considering in your minds. "I came all alone!" There are many things that could be said—and it could have been avoided—it could have bee~n prohibited. The preventive method is better than the healing method. If you can prevent disease and sickness, it is much better than letting someone get sick and then healing them; but I came in time, I say! I have shown you the way of Life. It is Wonderful!

 

Only MY Spirit to Walk With ME

I know I have no one to walk with ME but that which is spirit of MY Spirit and mind of MY Mind. That's all! That's all that will walk with ME, ever would walk with ME, or ever shall walk with ME—spirit of MY Spirit and mind of MY Mind! For this cause I came into the world and I AM in a Bodily Form as being called man, or the Son of man, either one you choose to say. But I came all alone, I say, as it reads here!

According to this Lecture that was given some time ago, "If I would hang MY hope and MY trust in you, why the whole Kingdom would go down, for 'The arms of flesh will fail you, You dare not trust your own.'  There are some that some twenty odd years ago were called out of Egypt. The Word says, "Out of Egypt I have called my son." It is Wonderful! There are those that have been called out of the Egyptian state of consciousness many years ago.



Traveling Carried Message of Salvation

You know I went South around about the time the Jim Crow Law came out in the South, and you know that was not just yesterday. And I went carrying the same Message and I told 0them then and there, I came, or in other words, Christ came, to save them from the curse of Eve and from the forerunner of the curse of Eve, now whatsoever that means. It is Wonderful!

After many years traveling through the different parts of the world, I returned backward and forwards, here and there, again and again, until the time did come that there were young men, maybe no more than—anywhere from eighteen to forty years of age, just the right age to work; just the right age to toil and earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. There were many under that curse that GOD told Adam the ground would be a curse for him, and GOD delivered them from it. Young men that would be, or that were under the curse, were stopped from the curse of Adam and whatsoever went before the curse and went before the fall. It is Wonderful! There are those that were young women that were saved from the curse of Eve and whatsoever went before the curse, which was the forerunner of the curse of Eve, and then when they went back in sin, why, worse things came upon them. That is why the word says— or the song says, whichever, which is according to the Word—

"Shall we go on in sin
Because Thy grace abounds
To crucify the Lord again
And open up His wounds?"

It is Wonderful! There~ have been the cases of young people, I mean; I AM not talking about anybody being sick

!

Now that is what Christ will do for you: will save you from the curse of Eve and the forerunner of the curse of Eve: will save you from the curse of Adam and that which goes before the fall of Adam. It is Wonderful! Now whatsoever that means! Then when you are saved and in your first estate that GOD placed you in, then you go back in sin, why then cursed be your own fault; you bring the curse on yourself, GOD didn't bring it on you. Then you have to stick to it! It is Wonderful!



Cursed When Returning to Sin

I AM the same today as I was when I saved you from Adam. GOD changed not. GOD doesn't change, HE's just the same. It is Wonderful! Saved from the curse of Eve and from the curse of Adam, saved from that which goes before the fall, and yet falling back to the begging elements of the world—to your mortal fancies and pleasures—then when you are cursed, why you are only getting a just cursing. It is Wonderful! It may seem hard, but when GOD has once cleaned you up, delivered you and brought you out, even to be freed from the curse of Adam and from the curse of Eve and the forerunner of the curse of Eve—the Message that I carried to the South years ago—then when you go back in sin and bring those things on you, why then that is your fault! If you had not known the Truth there would be some propitiation and then and there it is a time for consideration. But when it is written—I said just as it is written,

"In the world you will have tribulation: (in the flesh you will have tribulation) ... but in me you will have peace."

And,

"He that the Son sets free, is free indeed."


Now if you choose to go back in h--l, then that is you! It is a hard saying, but then it is true.

Pleasing ME


Now in reference to this wonderful Light and protection that you all get: you do not have to be put out; you do not have to be dispossessed. Why is it that you don't have to be dispossessed? It is because if you make your rightful contact, mentally and spiritually, you will have money to pay your rent and you will not be dispossessed. It is Wonderful! I did not come to use authority, which is power, to infringe on the rights of anyone, nor to take advantage of anyone. Therefore, if you desire to make your contact so you will not have to be dispossessed, make your contact so you will have the money or get work, or position, or whatsoever it may be, so that you will get it to pay your bills, so you will not be dispossessed then you are pleasing ME!



Paid Money Not Owed

Now suppose someone doubts what I AM saying. (Demonstration from the audience, and cries of "No! No! No") It is Wonderful! But if you doubt it, you can go to Sayville and enquire anywhere around Sayville, where I have been for the last thirteen years. I say there, because of being there stationary for at least thirteen years. Now you would be convinced when you ask any of them around there how much I owe, and how many debts I failed to pay. It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! I have even paid debts that I did not owe. I have given money where I did not owe it. Just the same as I have often said : when a highway robber or a bandit or anything like that comes up and asks you for your money, why then, if you give it to them, why that would be just giving it to them. And that's just the way it has been in cases, that bandits—the same kind of bandits —have come up and asked ME for money, saying, "You owe me so much and so much", and I say, How do I owe you such. and such a thing when I have not bought anything from you, or have not purchased anything from you? Or, when have you done anything for ME, for such and such a thing? And they say, "Oh yes, you owe me so much money. And I say, All right, here it is!— I mean that kind of bandits! I mean to say, those that know ME and know MY Work, why they can verify these statements.



Do Not Ask Amiss

Then if you desire to be blessed, be blessed ,as I AM blessed by paying as you go, being competent and honest in your bills and in all of your moves and in all of your ways, and if you do not desire or want to get a dispossess, pay up your bills! If you have a doubt whether they will charge you for more than what you actually owe them, always get the receipts. Well you may say, "Well, how can I pay them?" Well, how can you keep from being dispossessed and keep from being put out? Why not come to ME to be blessed so you can get the money? It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! Start at the foundation and work out the example right. Work it out correctly and there will be no mistake. It is Wonderful! That is why I say to those of you who are coming to ME desiring not to be dispossessed "Help me! Don't let the people put me out!" Well, why don't you say, "Don't let me miss paying them." It is Wonderful! Don't you think your landlord is praying to his GOD in his way, or wishing unto his GOD in his way that you would pay your bills? He wants the money, if the money is his. To his GOD he even prays to to make money—to get it. It is Wonderful!

Now that is what you should do! Now, from henceforth, all of you that desire not to be dispossessed and put out on the streets, before you come to ME, to ask ME not to let the people put you out, why not ask in your hearts and in your minds—you don't have to come to ME in Person— but ask in your hearts and in your minds, that the LORD may bless you to get the money to pay all of your debts. Now these are hard sayings apparently. They may apparently be hard because you want ME to just keep the man from putting you out, and you stay there for nothing. Well now, if you want ME to let you stay there for nothing, then someone that owes you, they may want ME to not let you get after them, or keep you from. ..(Demonstration and shout from the audience). It is Wonderful! It is a rule that works both ways. It is Wonderful! Now if you want to stay there, if you are so anxious to stay there and not pay them, why then if I bless you so you can stay there and not pay them, I will bless the man that owes you so he will not have to pay you.



A Just GOD

I have heard you sing a song many years ago, and you are still singing that song—humanity I AM speaking of—"We have a just God to plead our cause." That would not be just, for ME to bless you so I would keep the man from getting his money that is due him, and you getting all that is due you—that wouldn't be fair—that wouldn't be right. Do you not see how unjust the mortal mind is, how they will try to even do ME an injustice?—want ME to use MY power to make someone not get their money that is due them, and yet make someone pay you the money that is due you. Now that wouldn't be fair, that wouldn't be good, that wouldn't be just! It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful!

Now I do not owe any man anything, and don't want any of MY students, representatives, coworkers, friends, patients, sons or daughter; or whatsoever you may term yourselves to be to ME—I don't want any of you to owe any man anything. I want you to live an intelligent life even as I do. It is Wonderful! And advocate the Life and do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and if you do right unto others, why it will not be any trouble for you to get money. So freely as you receive, so freely give. I always have a full and a plenty and none of you can say I have ever asked you for a penny. It is Wonderful!

Now someone may say, "Well, because you are this, or the other." Well, there are others that are "this or the other." Some may say, "Well you are a preacher", or something like that. Well, other preachers, they say they have a hard time; they say money is scarce and such as that. It is not scarce with ME! I have a full and a plenty and to spare. I don't ask anybody for a penny, and with the thousands and thousands, yea, even millions that flock unto ME, that doesn't arouse MY Mind to think up any scheme to get any money out of them. It is Wonderful! If I were in the world of graft and speculation, you know I could get all kinds of money. But I AM so glad that so freely as have received, so freely I can give. And as freely as I give, so freely will I receive; and not I of MYSELF as a Person only, but it is Principle that is back of it, and all, and every one of you can do the identical same thing. It is Wonderful! Live the life, and doubt nothing and when you desire to be blessed so that you will not get a dispossess, desire the money that you owe the man, so you can pay him and so that you will not owe any man. I would rather get a dispossess than to owe him. It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful!



Angels Who Left First Estate

You know you feel so good, you don't know how you do feel when you are all free and clear and know positively well that no man can rightfully say that you have wronged him of one penny. You can rejoice and be exceedingly glad because GOD is your witness then, within and without. It is Wonderful!

And as I before said, in the beginning of this little talk, I want you to know that there are those that have actually transcended gravitation and the earth lost its gravitation over them, and then gone back to matter, and they are under the curse. It is Wonderful! Now I didn't tell you to do it; I told you not to do it! It is Wonderful! Know ye your GOD!

Now there are many look upon Mr. Joseph or someone that is Spirit, just like they do matter. It is Wonderful! There are many have gone back in materialism, mortality and carnality, and have completely "left their first estate" as the Bible spoke concerning those that are "bound in chains of darkness—the angels that kept not their first estate but have left their own habitation and are bound in chains of darkness until the judgment of this great day." And this is the Great Day. This is the Great Day! It is Wonderful! So you have to repent, and do your first work over again and you may have a hard time getting rid of all ... (At this point there was a great demonstration from the audience.) It is Wonderful! You may have a hard time because you knew the Truth, you heard the Truth, and GOD came and got you out of h--l before you were tied—before you were tied up as you are. It is Wonderful!

Now that is just a sketch or a reflection of a percent of a percent of a percent of what will be to many. It is Wonderful! So I say to everyone, those of you that have been called out of darkness into this marvelous light, now let your light so shine before men, and stand in the liberty wherewith Christ hath set you free.



Let Christ Reign in You

Now I want to say to you, as Jesus said to Peter, James and John as they slept—many of you may fall asleep if you will yield yourselves servants to obey materialism, mortality, human fancies and human pleasures and your human inclinations, etc., you will fall asleep, and you will be sleeping from the spiritual awakening of the Christ in your consciousness—then it is true,

". .. the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."


But because of that there is no propitiation, you must suffer the consequences because the flesh is weak. The body must suffer the consequences because,

"If you live after the flesh, you shall die; but if you through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."

"But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of Christ dwells in you."

I would rather say, if so be that the Spirit of Christ reign in you. It reads, "dwell in you", no doubt, but the significance of it is, whether Paul knew exactly what the significance of it as there or not, I can see the significance of it as, "If so be that the Spirit of Christ reign in you ..." for wheresoever a king reigns that is where his kingdom is, and he has dominion wheresoever he reigns. But a man has not always dominion where he lives or where he dwells. He may dwell at a place and may not have full control, don't you see. So you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of Christ reigns in you. So elect Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords in you and in your consciousness, and in your whole mental and spiritual world and in your physical structure. Then and there and here and now, wheresoever Christ reigns, that will be His Kingdom there. It will be His Kingdom right there; and wheresoever His Kingdom is, there is peace, there is rest, there is life, there is health, there is love and everything else that is good.



Take a Lesson

So I say, let Christ reign inn you, and accept of Christ as your King of kings and Lord of lords! But when you let your human fancies— even having changed from nature to grace, I mean have escaped the corruption of the world through lust, becoming to be partakers of the Divine Nature, having been saved from the curse of Eve and the forerunner of the curse of Eve -and then let some old mortal mind come along and desire to pump something in your brain, and you go back to your fancies and your pleasures and your preconceived ideas, you bring those conditions upon yourselves. It is Wonderful! Because I know, there are people that have been saved from sin and from the mother of sin and then have gone back in sin—saved from old John Smith and old Mary Smith. It is Wonderful!

So you should take this for a lesson, dear ones. You that are living the Life, continue to live it, but if you do not desire to continue to be blessed, why then you don't need to live it if you don't wish to. But you know, I just love to see you happy. You know, this life is so sweet, it is Wonderful! You know it is just Wonderful, isn't it? Now, you know you have tasted of this Heavenly Bread, and if you turn back, you don't know what might come to you. It is Wonderful! GOD spoke through the mouth of Paul on one occasion to the Hebrews, and he said, if after you have tasted of this and you turn back to those things, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin. That is what Paul said. But to give you a chance I will let you see what you can do, and maybe you might have a chance. It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! Go ahead and do your first work over again and see how it will be, and you may come out all right. Do your first work over again, because there is no flesh in GOD!. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of GOD! It is Wonderful!



Nobody But GOD

It is Wonderful when you know well, that nobody ever wiped your mouth when you were a baby—nobody but GOD! It is Wonderful! Only GOD! Only GOD! None but GOD! I said, none but GOD ever wiped your mouth! GOD! It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! And it is true, you have cut loose from the world—It is Wonderful! — transcended gravitation! Free! and free as a bird to a tree. It is Wonderful! Free from all materialism! Free from all matter! Free from all human inclinations, all mortal tendencies, all mortal pleasures, and the Fire is consuming you! It is Wonderful! And you think you can go back and get something? It is Wonderful! Nobody ever wiped your mouth, it is Wonderful! Nobody but GOD! Nobody but GOD! All of the glory belongs to GOD! Nobody ever put a spoon to your mouth! GOD is the One! Fed you and clothed you when you were naked. It is Wonderful! GOD is the One! And if you have ever been born, you were only born in GOD. You never had a father to clothe you but GOD! Never had a Father but GOD! Christ is rich and all you need! It is Wonderful!



Do Your First Work

Now take these thoughts in. Remember your Creator, and remember the days of your mental and your spiritual youth. It is Wonderful! You know you felt mighty good when you were youthful spiritually. (Demonstration and applause.) It is Wonderful! You know it was sweet, wasn't it, when you first saw the Light ... when you were first plowed up by the plowshares of the Gospel. You felt good then! Where is that blessing? It was sweet, wasn't it? It was sweet. It is Wonderful ! Do your first work and everything may be all right! It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! For I have called you out of darkness, into Light, and I did not just do it yesterday, but you have. tasted and you could see that the LORD was good. But by the mortal version of the human mind and by rebelliousness and selfishness, such is the destruction of all of the nations when they go back to the begging elements of the world, and lose their love, their first love, and contact the love of flesh and matter, instead of the love of Spirit and GOD. It is Wonderful!



Live This Life

Now I beseech you all to live this Evangelical Life, dear ones. You will be healed of all your infirmities, you will be freed from all adverse conditions, you will be freed from all sickness and all diseases, and you will have success and you will have prosperity and it is not that you must necessarily come to ME Personally to receive it, because it is not I as a Person sufficient to do anything,

"It is not by power nor by might, but by my spirit says the LORD."


GOD merely condescended to put on a Body and bodies to manifest HIMSELF in, and this true Principle is the Spirit of Life, the True Ideal of Life as expressed through the Christ Consciousness and manifestedly the mentality of GOD to mankind. It is Wonderful! Live this Life and you all will be blessed. You can be even as you say I AM, and as all men see and do realize that I AM, blessed physically and materially, financially and such as that anyway. You can see that if you cannot see the spiritual part. It is Wonderful! If you cannot see the spiritual part, you can see that, and you can see the part that causes people to have faith in ME. You can see that, and you can have them to have faith in you like that, by your living the Life. GOD is no respecter of persons. It is Wonderful!



Owe No Man

And you can have them to come to your meetings like they attend MY meetings. Live the life! Never take up a collection of money—no collection of money in any meetings—no kind of soliciting done in any meetings or anything like that, but trust the Living GOD. And if you haven't money and GOD makes no provision for you otherwise, other than soliciting and taking collections and se]ling tracts and a11 kinds of foolishness like that, if GOD does not give you money and you don't find it in your pocket or anything like that, go to work and get it. Pay off your bills! Owe no man! Owe no man anything mentally, spiritually, socially or any kind of way. That does not merely mean, owe no man from a material or financial standpoint of view—"Give honor where honor is due; and tribute where tribute is due; and custom where custom is due ..." Do you notice, you hear ME call most of the young so-called men, and most of the young so-called women in our assemblies and meetings, I usually Mister and Miss them? "Give honor where honor is due; custom where custom; tribute where tribute"; etc., and owe no man from a social standpoint of view as well as from a financial standpoint of view.



Advocating an Independent Life

Now, when the time comes for ME to have anything, I will have the money to get it. If it is not time for ME to have it, I may not have the money maybe, and someone will say, maybe, "Well, you can get it—you buy it." I AM just talking so you can see what I want you to do! Fortunately, I have the money to get anything I want, but I AM speaking as unto MY children. It is Wonderful! Now if I have not the money to get anything, to buy anything, it is not for ME to buy it then. If I must go in debt so I cannot meet MY payments, and put MYSELF in worry and care to meet these obligations, why then, it is not for ME to have it. It is Wonderful! Now, it is not for ME to have any of those things in you, and through you, unless I in you have the money to get what you actually think you need. It is Wonderful! For we are advocating an absolutely independent life and absolutely independent Kingdom, that will be independent of the mortal mind and only dependent on GOD and on HIS Majesty, HIS Love and Mercy, and not on man. I thank you so much!

 

Healed Through Contact

I hope you all will take these thoughts into consideration. Let the light of the Light of Love shine in your soul. Know I will be with you and you will not have occasion to fear; you will not have an occasion to want or to care, for GOD is in the midst of thee continuously. It is Wonderful! I would just like to say, if there is anyone here that thinks they are sick ...(Interruption by one in the audience who requested that her knees be healed). It is Wonderful! All right, you can sit down and I will heal your knees. Now I would like to say, is there anyone here that thinks they have been healed through their contact with ME? (Almost unanimous raising of hands and shouts of, "Yes! FATHER.") It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! So glad! It is Wonderful!

Now I would just like to say to those that think they were healed by their contact with ME. it was not anything that I did Personally, was it? It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! That is the great consolation, to know that it is real, and when you are talking about the realness of GOD, you are not talking about the realness of matter. It is Wonderful! That is the great consolation, to know that it is real, and I do not have to use any kind of material method, no kind of material remedy, and no kind of material effort that I need to use or perform that you might be blessed and healed, but it is the Christ in you. It is Wonderful! It is true that people say that it is the Christ in ME, but I want to say that,

"It is the Christ in you, and the Christ in Me, has made you what you ought to be."


It is Wonderful! It is the same Christ! It is not another; the same One that has been with you, the same One that shall be with you, the same One that is within you, and shall be walking in you and talking in you. Then I say, have faith in GOD, have faith always, and rejoice in the LORD. Rejoice always, and let your moderation be made known unto all men, the LORD is at hand, and you will keep and will be abundantly blessed continually in whatsoever blessing you stand in need of.



Faith Made You Whole

Make that same mental and spiritual contact —not that you must necessarily see ME, I continue to say, not that you must necessarily come near ME, not that you must touch ME, not that you must write ME, or anything of that kind; but when you raise your vibrations high, when you believe the true report, your faith is what has made you whole. It is Wonderful. Then I say so often, and it is so, some will say, "It is YOU blessed me—YOU made we whole", and so on like that; and I say, if it is connected with ME at all, it is your faith in ME, as though it is ME, that has blessed you and has made you whole. Your faith in ME as though it is ME, it has made you whole, and therefore it appears to you to be ME. It is Wonderful! But it is not actually ME according to the flesh, it is your faith in ME as though it is ME, and it is the Spirit quickened in you in your faith, and your faith responds, and delivers you from those adverse conditions. It is Wonderful!



Unbelief Will Kill You

Now the reverse is equally true. There are many whose unbelief in ME, as though it is ME, has killed them, and I didn't do anything. It is Wonderful! As I said, there are many have lost their minds and many will lose their minds, There are some professionals in the city of New York, they will became mindless and it will be said that they had a nervous breakdown, because their unbelief in ME, as though it is ME, will mix them up. It is Wonderful! I don't advocate that! I do not desire that! But your belief will make you whole, and your unbelief will kill you, verifying that of which Jesus said,

"He that believeth not shall be d--- ed."


These are facts and figures that are too stout to be denied. Now those that try to dispute that, watch yourselves. It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful!

Jesus said in one case,

"I came in the name of my Father, and if another will come in his own name, him you will hear."


And you will hear, I say, if one will come in his own name, saying, I am Mr. Thomas, and I am out of such and such a family, and my mother and father brought me up at such and such a place—advocating matter-in him, or them, you will believe. You will believe the one that will come in his own name, and advocating his own profanity, his own fame. It is Wonderful!

 

Testimonies to be Considered

We rejoice because we know that out of nothing cometh forth something, and GOD created the heavens and the earth apparently out of nothing. But HE has visibilated them, yea, even the heaven, it has even been visibilated, has been made visible by the Omnipotence, Omniscience, and the Spirit of the Almighty through HIS cosmic forces of nature and the great Universal Mind Substance in which we all live, move and have our being.

I do rejoice and AM exceedingly glad to see so many souls that have the faith to believe that through their contact with ME they have been abundantly blessed and healed; and that should be enough for others, those of you that are sick. Suppose, those of you that are seeking healing and seeking your health and happiness, why the testimony of those that have borne witness here in your very midst of what GOD in the Name of DIVINE has done for them, that should be enough for you to go away from this place knowing within yourselves that GOD has heard and answered your prayers! If you are sick, you don't have to go away with that pain or ache or affliction any more. But the Spirit is speaking today as it spoke nineteen hundred years ago, declaring unto all of you that come for your healings to, "go in peace and sin no more." It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! I don't have to touch you. I don't have to come near you.

"Hear ye the words of the LORD, all ye house of Israel: Our God is one God."


It is Wonderful!

"Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."


It is Wonderful!



Tell it to the World

If you will only do that now, confess and forsake your sins, casting out of your system all bigotry, all prejudice, all hatred and all envy, all malice, all strife, and all covetousness and all tendencies that tend to separate you from another, and all races, creeds and colors, and let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus, then and there and right here and right now, you can go in peace and sin no more. It is Wonderful! I don't have to see you. You can go and tell it to others. Tell it to the world, what GOD in you is doing for" you, as an ever present help in every need, "as a rock in the weary land, and as a shelter in the time of storm" —as a Sanctifier, as a Healer and as your ever abiding King—as your ever-reigning King, for HE reigns in you and HE reigns in ME, the hope of eternal glory for spirit, soul and body, and there is no other. Go tell it to the world, what the LORD has done for you, for you are healed and saved and freed from all afflictions, physically, mentally and spiritually, and the mouth of the LORD has spoken it!

 

Good for Gospel to be in Commercial World

Now I would just like to say that I think another boat is going out around the twelfth. And I AM quite sure you are expecting ME to be there. -I AM supposed to be there in Person, You know that I AM there anyway, but I AM sure, when you know that I will be there in Person, and in Spirit and in Mind, I AM sure that you will be there, and I AM sure that the Spirit will have its way. I AM sure—I AM positive— that the very Spirit of Love will go as it did on the other boat, for we will prove to the world that we will manifest more Love, more Peace and more Joy and more Happiness than anybody else. It is Wonderful!

Not only that, but we will prove that anything that goes out in MY Name, though it be MY students, that they will give more for your money's worth than anybody else. We will prove to the world that Christ came to reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment, and to let the world know that Mr. Ford and Mr. Woolworth have done a great work in the commercial world, for they have sold something at less than anybody else could sell it, and they have acquired their millions. And we will prove it to the world, that it is better for you that are in business, to let the Gospel go in your business as well as anything else. We will prove it to the world that as Mr. Ford says, "If you plant the Sermon on the Mount in your enterprise, why it will work." He said he planted the Sermon on the Mount in his enterprise, and that is the reason why he is a billionaire inside of thirty-five years. It is Wonderful!

 

More Blessed to Give Than Receive

We will prove to the world that it is more blessed to give than to receive. We will prove to the world that we should all, always pay more and give more for what we sell, if we are in business. It is Wonderful! We shall prove to the world that GOD is the Light of the world, the commercial world, the social world, the financial world, the spiritual world, the mental world, the political world, and every world through which we came, and in which we now live. This Light of Truth shall go forth conquering and to conquer, and shall outshine them all. It shall outlast them all, for none can prohibit this Love. It is Wonderful!

Even as it was said that the government would not allow—some told the general superintendent of our publishing concern that government would not allow you to send out newspapers free. I said, I will give out on the first move, a few hundred, free! I have done that MYSELF, and the government is not going to say anything to ME about it. I shall prove to the world that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and it is a matter of impossibility for you to lose by freely giving, for "so freely as you give, so freely you will receive." It is Wonderful!

 

No Space Vacant of the Fullness

Now in conclusion with these remarks, I would like to say that we also have a meeting at the New Star Casino this afternoon, all day today and tonight, as well as here. We will also be there next Thursday, but as I said about the boat on the twelfth of this month, we will all be going down—if we all don't go in body they all will go in mind. I AM supposed to be going in Body MYSELF, and I AM sure you all know that the ship will be abundantly blessed. It is Wonderful. You don't have any occasion to falter nor fear, for "If God is for you, who can be against you?" It is Wonderful! There will be a full and a plenty for all, and GOD's children do not have to compete one against another. For in the abundance of the fullness of MY Mind is the abundance of the fullness of the consciousness of good, and no space is vacant of the fullness thereof. I don't care what size place you have, or what size ship you have, I can fill it. It is Wonderful! I don't care what size table you have, I can fill it. It is Wonderful! I don't care what size hall you have, I can fill it. I don't care what size church you have, I can fill it. Then I don't care what size pocketbook I have, I can fill it. It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! And I don't care what size pocketbook you have, I can fill it. It is immaterial to ME, it matters not how much your bank roll may be, I can fill it with the fullness of good and no space will be vacant of the fullness thereof, for, The Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good, no space is vacant of the fullness thereof. It is Wonderful!

I understand that some quartet, some singers, or someone is here. Oh yes, would you like to have a word to say just before we conclude for this particular time? (Reply: "Only to say that I am a Christian myself, and we go around and sing, and I would like to sing if I get a chance.") Well, we have a meeting this afternoon here and in the New Star Casino and you are welcome in our meetings and we will try to arrange it so you can give us a number.
