GOD is a Strong Tower Lifting Men Above Lacks and Wants---
Scientific Multiplication Explained

Our FATHER's Message at the Banquet Table Number 20 West 115th Street, New York City
Wednesday Afternoon, April first, 1936--- A.D.F.D. Time: 4:10 P. M.

The House of the LORD, Woodmont

A Bedroom in the House of the LORD, Woodmont

 

Because of the Infinite Mind of GOD, the Believers and Followers of FATHER DIVINE, can reiterate the lessons of Truth that have been taught to them continuously from time to time, for they have become to be a reality in their daily lives. That limited consciousness that mankind is heir to, has been eradicated from his mentality with the renewing of his mind, and with the transformation of his body, through and by the Recognition of the Allness of GOD and the nothingness of matter. Now with the Creator of all good gifts, millions and millions are singing and saying according to the song which FATHER sang on this occasion during the Banquet hour, "Blessing flowing free. So many Blessings, Blessings flowing free for all," and on and on, we enumerate these Blessings, until we reach the place wherein we are unable to number them, for the Blessings of GOD flow like a river, unending and never failing.

Through the Condescension of the Love-Master, again we were blessed with the privilege of partaking of the Richest of the Treasures of GOD'S Storehouse. We were endowed with a full supply of GOD'S Omniscience, which flowed freely like a river of pure water, and as clear as crystal. This lesson extracted from our consciousness, those undesirable tendencies, which tended to obscure our vision and confuse our understanding, hence, with this accomplishment we could actually feel the lifting off of mortality and our elevation to a higher plane, as the Light of GOD glowed upon us.

After many marvelous testimonies, proving the Power of GOD, FATHER DIVINE, from the many different individuals, from the various sections of the country, FATHER who had so patiently waited, giving the individuals an opportunity to exercise their faith, their love and devotion, brought forth the melody of a song, which HE had composed many years ago. At the conclusion of the song, the multitude applauded with great enthusiasm, indicating that they desired to hear the Voice of the LORD. This same thought was conveyed in a song previously by a brother who sang

"Oh! how I love to hear GOD'S Voice,
When I hear HIS Voice, it makes me rejoice,
Oh! I love to hear GOD'S Voice."

This beautiful Message by the permission of Our Beloved Heavenly FATHER, is published for the benefit of those who seek to know the Truth and find Eternal Life. By reading and applying these beautiful Gems to our daily lives, we are walking in the Statutes of GOD, hence, we are no more in lacks, wants, limitations and adverse and undesirable conditions and surroundings, but we are reveling in the Glorious Liberty of the Sons of GOD, where the Abundance of the Fullness of all good things are manifested.

Together we sang the song, as FATHER led it, and then gave our undivided attention, as the Message was being released to us. Thank YOU, FATHER.

"Blessings flowing free, blessings flowing free,
So many blessings, Blessings flowing free, blessings flowing free, for all.

One million blessings, Blessings flowing free, blessings flowing free,

Peace, Everyone:

("Peace FATHER DEAR!" responded the joyful voices.) Good Health, Good Will and a Good Appetite—Hearts full of Merriness, Joy, Peace and Happiness, with all Success and Prosperity continually. That is why we can say "No end to the Blessings," for they are flowing so free for everyone. We can sing—we can enumerate and count Blessings by numbers apparently, but the great work of multiplication, there are but a few who have come to this place in consciousness whereby they can work multiplication in reality scientifically and unselfishly.

Scientific Multiplication

It is a privilege to realize while we, as individuals, may apparently learn the Principle of Mathematics figuratively, from a mathematical point of view, it is a privilege and a Blessing to do so, but it is so much better when we can use the Principle of Mathematics scientifically and especially work the work of multiplication and also the work of addition from a scientific point of view.

Men have sought to increase, to multiply and to demonstrate the Blessings of GOD, but there are those who claim to be Followers of CHRIST, after the manner of metaphysics of the scientific Teaching of JESUS, yet if they cannot work scientifically the Principle of Mathematics from a material point of view, and put this Principle into actuality, there is something short on their part. When we use these words in our composition, "So many Blessings you cannot count them all," after multiplying from millions to Decillions and decillions of decillions, we are still in that state of expression to count the limitless Blessings, but at I have transposed one of Christendom's original Compositions which says,

"Count you Blessings Name them one by one,
Count your many Blessings, See what GOD has done."

Oh, it is an experience with us this afternoon, we have transposed the Composition in reality, for the reality of this Composition, through the transposition of it, we can declare,

"We cannot count the many Blessings."

GOD— A Strong Tower

We cannot name them one by one for we have so many Blessings we cannot receive them all. Not only receive them, but we cannot even so much as see them all. If you believe in the Allness of GOD and the nothingness of matter, if you believe in the reality of the Creative Forces of Nature, as a living factor in the hearts and lives of millions, this the expression of GOD'S Creation, with HIS Creative Forces of Nature expressly, will bring into outer expression the limitless Blessings more than your hearts and minds could imagine.

For this cause, men are marveling at the great unfoldment of this Peace Mission Movement. They cannot understand how success and prosperity forever remains with us. They cannot understand, yet it is written:

"The Name of GOD is a strong Tower, and the Righteous run therein and are saved."


Since you have accepted of this Message and have brought your bodies into subjection, you have entered into this place in consciousness where you must be successful and prosperous. You must be successful and prosperous if you apply the Life and the Teaching of CHRIST to your daily actions and put into practice the scientific Teaching of Jesus, according to the Gospel.

Lifted Above Depressions

The very Spirit of GOD'S Presence will bring into your experience the Fullness of the Abundance of every Blessing, in the fulfillment of the Scripture:

"Come unto ME all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take MY yolk upon you and learn of ME, for MY Yolk is easy and MY Burden is light, and Thou shalt find rest for thy Soul."

The Souls who, or which have been burdened through trials and tribulations, through doubts and fears, through lack of sustenance for the body, coming through great tribulations, through the depressions of our present day, and every other undesirable expression, when you shall have recognized GOD'S Presence and lived according to same, then and there you will see a miraculous change. Through this recognition, you are lifted above depressions, you are lifted above lacks and wants and limitations, you are lifted above adverse and undesirable conditions, "for greater is HE in you," as the Blesser and the Saviour, than all other expressions that might or would be against you, if it came by persistence.

The Positive, Real and True

Then I say,"There are so many Blessings you cannot count them all." They are flowing free for every individual, but to the contrary, if you live in mortal consciousness and continue to visualize and idolize the negative, the unreal and untrue, such conditions will come to you. At the time of Success and Prosperity, when the Country in itself all over was very progressive above the sense of appearance of depressions and other panics, etc., you would hear men say, "Money is scarce." You would hear them say, "Times are hard." You would hear them say:"We have such a hard time to make ends meet."

They sowed the seeds of poverty and depressions, they have since then been reaping the fruit of the same, until I came, but I came to change your mind from visualizing and idolizing undesirable conditions, to cast them out from your consideration and not even allow them to touch your imagination as a living reality among this people, no longer imagining undesirable conditions, no longer observing undesirable things, but observing vividly continually, the Positive, the Real and the True—the Positive, and the Real and the True will come to you. This is a psychological Truth. You yourselves with your mental concentration on an object or an expression, will expressly unfold the mathematician of yourself as an individual and yourselves through concentration will become to be a magnet and magnetic. You will attract it and draw it to you.

All Blessings at Your Disposal

Oh, it is a privilege to realize we are attracting and drawing to ourselves and to others, all of these desirable Blessings, through visualization. We are bringing them into materialization through Positive concentration and through the conscious recognition of the same, therefore, we have at our fingertips every desirable Blessing for the sustenance of the body, for comfort and for convenience, and every desirable expression for your Soul, your mind and your Spirit.

We are rejoicing because there is a Law—this Law has been unearth. It has come to the surface and has been put forth into expression, therefore, if you as individuals, will use this Law, no longer will you be in poverty, lacks and wants and limitations, but to the reverse, you will express the progressiveness of the Progressive, the success of the Successful and all of the desirable Blessings will be at your disposal through your conscious recognition of them.

I recall composing that song many years age, when there were men coming around as Metaphysicians and other representatives of the Metaphysical Field, yet stressing and visualizing hard times, lacks, wants and limitations, I stressed it vividly for their consideration and for others, the significance of the recognition of the Positive, and refusing to observe the negative. When I stressed it through the Composition and brought this Message out in the melody,

"There are millions of Blessings, Every day they are multiplied by as many more."


mathematically I reiterated the Composition as a Message for the consideration of the intelligent, but still within, I stressed it for the consideration of the illiterate. I manifested it for the insignificant and those who were supposedly ignorant, that they might observe the significance of the recognition of that which is Invisible.

Just Behind the Veil

The Invisible things are just behind the veil. As soon as you Relax your Conscious mentality, they will be revealed and brought to the surface and exhibited; the Abundance of the Fullness that they might observe it. Even though many of MY Hearers were supposedly ignorant, I supplied their desires with food and with raiments, with houses and with shelter, with comfort and with convenience. This was a demonstration that was so far-reaching and convincing, they were obliged to believe it, (Now isn't that wonderful?) when they had prayed for years and years for sustenance for the body, for sustenance for the mind as information, as Spiritual understanding and had not received it. Oh! It is something to consider.

You had prayed for all of these Blessings, but had not received them, but when I came and unfolded MY Mystery in their presence, I brought into them, and into their presence the Abundance for the body, the Spirit and the Mind, therefore, they were convinced to believe "I AM that I AM." Who could help but believe, when their prayers were heard and answered. When they believed it sincerely, they further received the witness from other angels of expression. therefore, it was more further convincing to even other persons. Now isn't that wonderful! Then I say,

"There are so many Blessings, You cannot count them."

Contacting the Christ Consciousness

Through visualization and stressfully observing mentally the Abundance of the Fullness, automatically such expressions will come forth into observation. We are now observing visibly the Abundance of the Fullness, but firstly it was a mental picture. Because of those things, not being observed by the conscious mind, nor the physical sight, it did not make them unreal nor untrue. They were Real and True even though they were hid from you, therefore, as soon as your mind contacted the Christ Consciousness, automatically by obedience, then and there, the Mystery was revealed. The Blessings came forth into expression, then others could observe them, others were convinced to believe because they had seen as you received. Then I say,

"There are so many Blessings, You cannot count them,
Every day they are multiplied by as many more."


But merely becoming to be a Mathematician from an educational point of view, unless you can put your mathematics into practice and work them out scientifically and use them in a practical way, your mathematical activities will profit you nothing, but the Great WORKER of all things, as the AUTHER and FINISHER, can and will bring all of your mathematical activities into practice, if you will allow HIM to. Through your concentration in the Positive direction and consciously observing the materialization of the Personification of Perfection, GOD will bring into materialization, the desirable Blessings you have worked out mathematically for yourselves.

Parable of the Lightning

Oh! It is a privilege to live in this recognition, to dial in on the Abundance of the Fullness, by realizing GOD as a Living Reality made Real, Tangible and Practical. Remember, GOD as WORD alone, Spirit Invisible, is unreal, is intangible and impractical. GOD merely as something invisible, intangible and impractical is also unprofitable, but as GOD brings HIMSELF and other expression of HIS Creation into materialization and causes them to be scientifically expressed from a personal and a practical, and tangible point of view, they become to be Practical, Real and Profitable for you. That is why the harnessing of the lightning was a parable of the Mystery of GOD'S Coming.

So long as the Lightning was loose and unharnessed, it was apparently impractical and unprofitable, but the invention of Electricity is scientific , it is true, but it is also practical and profitable for you. The invention of electricity is almost as practical and as profitable as the principle of mathematics. Now isn't that wonderful? Hence, as the invention of electricity is a reality, since it is made Real, Practical and Profitable, even so is the Reincarnation and the Personification of your MAKER—but the impracticality of the Invisible and Impersonal Life of GOD is as real an impractical and unprofitable expression as electricity without being harnessed and brought into subjection.

The Reservoir of Salvation

Oh! It is a privilege to live in the Consciousness of GOD'S Presence where the Fount of HIS Omniscience is flowing so free for every individual. All of you can be partakers of IT, for this is the Great Reservoir of Salvation. Oh! It is a privilege—the Power-House and the Reservoir of Salvation. GOD'S Omniscience flowing freely from HIS Reservoir. All of you may partake of it. All of you may rejoice . . . All of you may enjoy it, the Glory of the Presence of your GOD.

Oh! It is a privilege to realize it, and to know every Word I have spoken this morning or this afternoon, they are all Evangelical. According to the afore going statement,

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD, and the Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld HIS Glory as the Glory of the only Begotten of the FATHER, full of Grace and of Truth."

The Glo-Rays of HIS Presence

Then I say, you can rejoice and enjoy the Glo-Rays of HIS Presence and the Body of GOD. You beheld HIS Glory as it was Personified. As it was Materialized you beheld HIS Glory, as the Glory of the only Begotten of the FATHER, full of Grace and of Truth. For this cause, you can enjoy it, for of all of HIS Fullness, you have received Grace for Grace, then I say,

"There are so many Blessings, You cannot count them."


More than all the world can number. They are limitless and Infinite by nature, for they are created and brought into expression by your MAKER, then I say,

"Rejoice in the LORD always, and again I say Rejoice. From henceforth let your moderation be made known to all men, the LORD is at hand."

Now where are you going to find Him? There is no place to go. HE is Ever Present where I AM. Now aren't you glad? ("So glad," came the joyful response from the multitude.) The limitless Blessings are flowing free for one and all. You may take of this Water of Life freely; if you do and will but be true and faithful, you may live forever. I thank you.
