MOTHER DIVINE and The American Flag
That AMERICA has been chosen by GOD, FATHER DNINE, to fill a most conspicuous and spiritually historical place among the nations of the world in bringing about the Divine Government on earth among men, is a tale as fascinating as it is real; and that it is the accepted and ordained home of the King of Peace, the ALMIGHTY GOD, proves conclusively that it has the most glorious privilege and is the most honored among all of the countries of the earth.
In this magnificent and superb Message FATHER plainly reveals the Supreme Hand of the Infinite One guiding the leader of this great nation, and that the present as well as the past life of this Country is being molded and shaped by a Divine destiny too potent to be denied.
For the Glory of HIS Righteousness and the wonders of HIS love, we most humbly bow at the feet of our Eternal KING of CREATION!
THANK YOU FATHER
(The foregoing statement is given by the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks thuswise:)
PEACE, EVERYONE!
I rise at this instance to say in reference to the great meeting we held at the old Manhattan Casino — Rockland Palace in New York City — on the first and the second: it was one of the outstanding meetings of our experience in New York City personally! It was one of the greatest demonstrations of all ... where we have held meetings in a hall!
I would like to say, the papers did not give an account of it, so I AM informed, because we are not representing the prejudicial newspapers — we are representing GOD! We are representing Truth instead of falsity!
When the testimony went out through the Hearst newspapers with a malicious intent, nearly all of the papers carried it and shouted it on the house~tops. But when MY Spirit caused Faithful Mary to come back and make an open confession of her sins in the act of confessing that she had lied when she made those statements, by being influenced and bribed by the prejudicial newspapers and others, why, naturally, they did not want to carry it.
But, it is a privilege to realize, over and above every opposition, over and above every criticism, over and above every accusation, MY Spirit put the issue over. And we did really show to the general public just what we stand for. And there were many newspaper men there — they heard the Message, and it was most outstanding, because the Spirit brought it out, and brought it about.
Of course, I have from years back striven to avoid publicity. But as the prejudiced newspapers and others continued to try to publicize ME, I in turn, through MY Condescension, allowed the reverse side to be seen as well as the negative they had been carrying, and as one of the speakers said a little while ago, the time is not far away when all universally shall see and observe the mystery even as you do, as MY true and faithful followers.
For this cause, the nations of the earth are stirred! In the far East, as was said the other day, three hundred and fifty million were added to the Kingdom in one day. In Sydney, Australia, it came over the radio that a follower and believer of MINE was opening an extension, and five hundred were added in far away Australia!
They see and know, as MY Spirit, MY Mind, and MY Work and MY Mission go forth conquering and to conquer, if they publish the truth, the truth will envelop the world, and all of the peoples of the earth collectively and universally will be brought into subjection to Righteousness, Truth and Justice, and we will have a government under the Constitution and sponsored by the Spirit of this Peace Mission!
For this cause they are scared! Yea, they are afraid to stand up for the Truth to endorse it or even so much as write it; but over and above every opposition, MY Spirit is going forth conquering and to conquer. I AM even speaking in and on no small terms in harmony with MY Righteous Government Platform and with MY Peace Mission Movement through the President!
The President of the United States yesterday made a great speech, a speech that stirred up the dictators and the fascists and others, because he has spoken twice, yea, and he no doubt, will speak again in harmony with ME and with MINE! He spoke of this Country being a country for the — in other words, he inferred a thought, conveyed a thought, whichever, of this Country being a country for the PRINCE OF PEACE.
He knows, as well as you, GOD is a Living Reality, whether he is conscious of MY Tabernacle or merely understands the Principle of life as a standard that GOD has lifted up for all humanity. He knows definitely, there is a reality in the Prince of Peace as stressed and emphasized by this Peace¢ Mission Movement. And other Countries shall know it also.
The people of America, especially North America, should rejoice and be exceedingly glad because GOD Condescendingly came to this Country and endorsed the Constitution in a great measure. And as a Message I sent out to the suffering people, as being termed the Jews in Germany, and other countries — if they could and would run to this Country as a country of refuge, and as refugees to be rescued in this Country, and to become to be real American citizens. I AM sure they would be emancipated as a nation, and would unify themselves together in this nation and would be real American citizens.
How glorious it is to realize, when those few men embarked on an uncharted sea, seeking religious liberty; when they started out to seek this Country; how they started out unknowingly, at least, on an uncharted sea, seeking religious freedom as an effort in the act of paving out the way for a Constitution and a country where men would be privileged to serve GOD to the dictates of their own conscience.
That was a day well worth considering! And when they made their declaration as a nation; in other words, the country declared her independence as a nation, it was but bespeaking, as I have often said, the independence of all of her subjects. It was paving out the way for all nationalities to be melted in the melting pot politically, as it could be termed, of Americanism. Nevertheless, it is not Americanism according to the mortal version, for MY View goes far beyond the barriers of the mortal version of men. It goes into Infinitude, and it is not only observing but demonstrating and causing others to observe the mystery!
All Americanism, when it is converted into Righteousness, Truth and Justice, will be real evangelism of which shall go forth as this Peace Mission Movement is going or has been going mentally and spiritually! It shall go forth legally converting all nations. But upon this Foundation, if the nations of the earth will stand, and will seek the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose we will have a Righteous Government universally, and all of the kingdoms of the earth will recognize it!
For the United States of America is the only country as a nation, representing and endorsing and equalizing all things according to the Constitution and according to the Scripture.
Then I say, it is a privilege to observe the mystery and to recognize GOD'S Actual Presence, and to build upon a Foundation that cannot be shaken. Then I say, the time will come, and it is not far away, when all of the critics and opposers and opponents shall recognize GOD'S Presence, and shall bow at the remembrance of HIS Holiness.
This country, as a spiritual country by nature, it was spiritual even before it was discovered. But, when it was discovered, it was discovered through and by those who were seeking to know something more about the world, but yet, seeking religious liberty. Consciously or unconsciously, they were led into foreign fields whereby they could draft a Constitution when the time would come, and the Constitution they did draft was a Constitution of religious liberty, of freedom of speech and the freedom of assemblage, and the freedom of the press. Therefore, they drafted a Constitution for the Foundation of a republic that would be democratic.
For this cause the time is not far away when all will seek this Country, and they who seek this Country, and come to this Country according to MY Invitation, they will be emancipated, and will become to be E Pluribus Unum — will become to be evangelical—will become to be one in all and all in one, as the universal brotherhood of man has long since called for — not only the universal brotherhood of man, but the conscious realization of the FATHERHOOD of GOD! Then you can plainly see it was essential and most necessary for the recognition of GOD as the FATHER of all to be brought into consideration by some way or by some means. Can you not see the mystery!
Then, when the recognition of GOD is brought into the conscious consideration of all of the universe, the brotherhood of man will be a living reality, and under the Constitution, all can be unified together because of that particular characteristic; or in other words, because of that particular relationship. The relativity of man and the relativity of character and disposition have brought the nations of the earth together to recognize the universal brotherhood of man and the conscious realization of the FATHERHOOD of GOD!
By this, we shall have a Righteous Government, and all of the peoples of the earth will see eventually, they all will be failures unless they accept of this Principle that I have lifted — the Life and the Teaching of Jesus. Can you not see the mystery!
Coming all the way from Bozrah with dyed garments on! This does not merely mean a person as an individual, but a Principle such as I have lifted as a Standard for this people as a sample and an example that they should copy after. They are now copying after the sample and the example — they are taking on the nature and the characteristics of the Principle that I have lifted. For the thing you harmonize with, you tend to materialize it; you take on the nature and the characteristics of it by harmonization.
Therefore, I AM stressing and emphasizing the Life of Christ so vividly to the divers congregations until they are convinced distinctly politically, socially, legally, religiously and otherwise, that they are all of one common order. They are all coming forth from that One Fount, that One Principle — GOD! Can you not see the mystery!
It brings you in close relationship when you realize your relative — when you realize this is your brother, this is your sister. When you are conscious of it and can see it scientifically, you would feel ashamed to do anything other than love ye one another, for you are convinced with such a convincement, that if you do not love one another according to the Gospel, you are cutting your own throats — for you are your brother's keeper.
Then I say, it is a privilege to observe the mystery, and to see what GOD can and will do. This is not confined to ME alone as a Person, but wheresoever one will emphasize, advocate and demonstrate that unselfish love and unselfish Spirit, they too, will become to be partakers of it, for it is unselfish — it is impersonal — it is expressive, and this is the nature of it to go undisturbed and unhandicapped and unhindered by any means whatsoever, but go forth into expression absolutely impersonally.
When this is done, all of your acts and your deeds and expressions will be unselfishly expressed, and you, as individuals, will be absolutely unselfish. Being unselfish, you will be impersonal! You shall have taken on the Nature of GOD your FATHER! Your body will become to be the reincarnation and the repersonification of that Perfect Character, Christ, in His Characteristics as exemplified in Jesus. Can you not see the mystery!
Then, others who will not measure up to this measurement, they will see most distinctly, they will be failures, for you will be living in splendor; you will be enjoying a full and a plenty! Others will be in lacks and wants and limitations. Others will be suffering because of the lack of unity; because of the lack of harmony; because of the lack of the love of their fellow brother; because of the lack of the expression of the Nature and the Characteristics of your Saviour. But you will be expressing the Characteristics and the Nature of your Saviour so convincingly, they will eventually see, those who do not do and be as you are, it is a matter of impossibility for them to be successful unless they live and do accordingly. That is the mystery!
Then I say, it is a privilege to live in the actuated Presence of GOD; for GOD speaks in actions louder and louder for actions speak louder than words! Hence, when GOD speaks in HIS Actuated Words of expression, even those of the animals that are conscious thinkers from the animal kingdom, they can see your actions in expression of love, of which will convince even a dog there is a reality in this love, and they all will follow suit to come into fellowship with you. Can you not see the mystery?
Then I say, we are sowing seeds of kindness daily — we shall reap the fruit of the same by living according to MY Teaching in all things and by bringing your body into subjection to this great Principle!
How glorious it is to live in such a recognition! The very Spirit of love and unity, of kindness and harmony will create harmonious conditions in your surroundings — will cause even the cosmic forces of nature to work harmoniously with you. Inharmonious thinking and antagonistic and conflicting thoughts and ideas and opinions will cause inharmonious conditions to result in your daily experiences. Can you not see the mystery!
If there is a question as to whether this is a fact, retrace your thoughts back to the Scripture in the prophetic age. When men failed to live and do according to the Will of GOD, why, the cosmic forces of nature, they worked inharmoniously to them and inharmonious conditions resulted because of the inharmonious acts and thoughts of the people. Jesus, as a Sample and an Example of harmony, being in harmony with the Creator, the creative forces of nature worked in harmony with Jesus, and the cosmic forces of nature did the same.
For what said Jesus, or in other words, what said the Apostles, the Disciples, when Jesus was on the ship as though He was asleep when the sea began its tempestuous rages, and when the ship was tossed from side to side, the cosmic forces of nature — when Jesus was apparently asleep — began raging? But when Jesus arose and spake, why, the sea became calm, as an abstract expression of what you should do. You should bring harmony out of confusion, and Peace where there is a disturbance. Can you not see the mystery! Harmonious conditions will result in your surroundings; even the climate will be harmonious to you and to your physical systems, and the systems of those with whom you are connected. That is the mystery!... GOD as a Living Reality and a blessing to this people.
How glorious it is to observe the mystery! When you observe it vividly and substantiate yourself in it, you will see most distinctly GOD is a Living Reality, and has become to be a Living Factor among this people; for all will see and know as well as you, if they expect to be happy, successful and prosperous, if they expect for things to work harmoniously to and for them, they must do even as you are doing. That is the mystery!
I AM pleased to have our visiting friends here tonight. I delight in meeting them. I enjoy the Presence of those who are commonly known as strangers, but forbid ME to enjoy or seek to meet a person for a selfish purpose. Let MY Thoughts go out from MY Mind with a desire to help them from some angle of expression that they might also enjoy just what we are enjoying. GOD'S Actual Presence is your real Hope and Deliverer, and your real Protection to save you from all hurt, from all harm and from all danger.
I AM talking about to save you from those conditions here and now — I AM not speaking about after you die and go up in the sky some place; for I have long since declared, and I redeclare the same: "The sky is nowhere and is nothing, but everywhere where there is nothing." Aren't you glad? But when men would speak through the religious superstition through which they came, concerning the sky and the heaven beyond the sky, they would speak from that angle of expression, having not observed the mystery. It was a scientific unfoldment to take place in your experience before they could see the reality of the highness of GOD above the mortal thoughts! GOD is high above all materialism! GOD is too high above vice and crime and sin and debauchery to tolerate or participate with it. GOD is above it! Can you not see the mystery!
But, as far as being above something physical, GOD IS in things physical! Those things that surround you, GOD is in and among you and has always been among you! For what said the Gospel concerning the mystery?
"He was in the world and the world was made by him, but the world knew him not."
You just did not know GOD even if you know HIM now, or if you do not or have not known HIM; HE was in the world all the time and the world was made by HIM: It is just merely the unfoldment and the advancement of GOD'S Presence to take place in your consideration and in your recognition until you can realize HIM!
When this shall have taken place in your consideration and in your recognition, there and then, you will come to the recognition and the realization of GOD'S Actual Presence, for, "His name shall be called Immanuel, being interpreted God is with us." Can you not see the mystery! Can you not see the significance of observing this mystery to find yourselves convinced and convicted once and forever that GOD is with you as a Living Reality?
By this, you will have all of your doubts and fears and darkness of misunderstanding dispelled once and forever, and the understanding of GOD will give you Consolation and Peace, and will cause the earth to be heaven! I thank you!
PEACE, EVERYONE! I was just thinking, it may be that those of us who have not, dined could feel like eating. No doubt you did eat before we did, but it has been so long since we dined, I AM considering some of you may feel like eating again by this time! I will permit MYSELF to be excused, and give you a chance to eat if you care to.
