Some Australian Rosebuds
This beautiful and significant Sermon was given directly after the audience was blessed to hear some beautiful recordings from Australia, bearing witness of FATHER'S great Work and Mission as HIS Holy Infinite Spirit has transmitted it, for truly HE has contagionized the atmosphere with the consciousness of HIS Presence and the Seed of HIS Righteousness is bearing fruit all over the world!
FATHER arose to comment on the beautiful recordings and to stress the universality of HIS Work and Mission, how it shall continue to bring the peoples of the earth together until the Brotherhood of Man and the FATHERHOOD of GOD shall be a reality universa11y. Although this Sermon is brief, it is well worth considering.
FOR THY GREAT SPIRIT OF EMANCIPATION, ALMIGHTY GOD, WE HUMBLY THANK THEE!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and the following is FATHER's significant Sermon with FATHER speaking as follows:)
PEACE, EVERYONE! Here we all are again. There I sit and stand, in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose; for here you are at all times where I AM! Just a moment ago you heard from Australia and you heard one of the original Australians, commonly known as the Aborigines, one of whom among others there that have been under-privileged, non-privileged and outcast, but since I have been functioning in Australia, I have brought about the Enactment of the Bill of Rights and I have given them their franchise. Last November was the first time many of those in Australia, as the Aborigines, had the privilege to register and vote as real citizens do.
There are others from New Zealand of whom have been equivalently the same, ostracized, isolated and separated; under-privileged and down trodden as a good many of those of the underprivileged of America, but I have brought them their real emancipation as I AM doing here in America, to bring about Life, Liberty and the reality of Happiness by the conscious realization of the FATHERHOOD of GOD for which you all have prayed.
By this, we shall have an International and also an Interracial Government of Righteousness, of Brotherhood, of Christianity, of True Americanism and true Judaism and Democracy as synonymous, and all of the kindreds of the earth eventually will be able to live in peaceful and quiet resting places from shore to shore and from land to land, and the abundance of the fullness of the consciousness of good, no space shall be vacant of the fullness thereof!
GOD'S Body
When they recognize GOD'S BODY, they will be united together and will realize the ONENESS of one another! There will be no more divisibility of the children of men from shore to shore and from land to land and naught will hurt nor harm in all of MY Holy Mountain, for I have lifted up a standard for this people and they are saying now, "Let us go up to the Mount of the house of the LORD and he will teach us of his ways!" All of the peoples of the earth are now learning that MY Ways are the Ways of Peace, of Life and of Liberty and the Abundance of the fullness from every angle expressible, for Christ has been selected, yea, nominated and elected and enthroned on the throne of the minds of men and from now henceforth shall reign as Lord of lords and as King of kings!
When GOD rules on the throne of your minds and shall reign thereon from thence, henceforth and forever, all of your powers will be brought into subjection and under Christ's control and GOD HIMSELF will be the Motivator of Equity and Justice for all and none shall lack in GOD's Abundance, for I have brought about the Universal Brotherhood of man and they all shall eventually realize the FATHERHOOD of GOD for which you all have prayed! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, ALMIGHTY GOD!" shouted the assembly.)
No longer to live in lacks and wants and limitations! No longer to live in division, adverse and undesirable conditions! No longer to live in disappointment and failure, but to live the abundant Life such as the actual Presence of GOD wi11 automatically produce, for as light dispels darkness, the Presence of GOD will dispel all other undesirable conditions and presence and will establish the positive for the negative! Aren't you glad !("Yes, LORD, so glad !" exclaimed the multitude.)
Fatherhood of GOD
So we live in this recognition and we sha11 not be discouraged and shall not be disturbed! Not only the Aborigines of Australia and those of the original New Zealanders, commonly known as the Bushmen, but all mankind shall recognize GOD'S Body and they all shall realize GOD is their FATHER. I have long since declared, GOD is your FATHER and you never had another.
With such a recognition and such a conviction you will live the Abundant Life with victory over every difficulty, over every trial and every tribulation and you too, as well as ME, yea, as well as I, will realize that every knock is a boost! Every criticism is a praise!
The Aborigines have been converted and educated and compete with any other artist in that field of activity! Aren't you glad! Even though they have not seen ME Personally, the majority of them in Australia, I AM there and I AM just as operative and expressive as I AM here where I AM Personally. GOD deals in the affairs of men and this is GOD's Administration. Those who will reign with HIM they will rejoice and be glad, for Christ shall be enthroned on the throne of their minds as the Scale of Justice and as the Spirit of Equilibrium to weigh everything with the Spirit of Equity and Justice for all!
You will no longer have the slightest tendency to look upon someone because of the so-called racial abstraction or because of the national origin, neither will you have any consideration because of the persons' or the personages' complexion, for you will even transcend all personalities and individualities, much more than that of the persons and the personages of whom I AM now speaking!
No More Inequality
It is a privilege to live in the Actual Presence of GOD, where there will be no more misery, disappointment and failure! No more inequality! no more such as the unjust oppressing the just, no longer keeping Righteousness down, for if Righteousness is buried in the ground, it shall rise again. Then who shall hinder HIM?
Truly might have I declared:
"Righteousness and judgment are the habitation of His throne, the earth saw and trembled."
Therefore I say:
"Righteousness exalteth the nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."
You should rejoice and be glad because I have established Righteousness in the land as the Ideal of Life second to none. It cannot be refuted, neither slightly justifiably disputed, for these are facts and figures too stout to be denied.
Then I say, rejoice and be glad for your redemption has truly come! Not only redeemed from that which is deemed as sin - of the invisible kind, but your redemption has come to redeem you from economic depressions, from panics and from famine, from lacks and wants and limitations, for the Spirit of the consciousness of the Presence of GOD truly is the Source of all supply!
Be thou conscious of GOD'S Presence and the Spirit thereof, which is the Source of all supply, will satisfy your every desire and will set you free from every undesirable condition and will establish your going in the land of the living. I thank you.
Miss Faith Wilmott
Shortly after a similar Message of FATHER's was played via tape recording here at the Circle Mission Church, with regard to the Aboriginals receiving their voting rights, Miss Faith Wilmott, who is visiting us from the Circle Mission Church in Australia, arose to say that she remembered when this came about some years ago after they had contacted FATHER in Australia to seek HIS help in granting the Aboriginals their equal rights. She said, at that time the Aboriginals were attending their Righteous Government meetings when they held them in the Savoy, "and we were attending theirs." Miss Wilmott added that both our Churches in Australia cooperated with them, and added that a photo had been sent to FATHER of Pastor Nicholls, shown then with his little daughter, casting the first vote for the Aboriginals, and that a similar photo hung in their Church. Miss Wilmott added that the Australian Government is doing a wonderful work for the Aboriginals and that it is wonderful to think that Pastor Nicholls has now been made Governor of South Australia, the first one to hold such a high position. She said he has been working for the rights of the Aboriginals and that he really refuses to be reckoned as of that certain race — he believes in no race, creed or color. Miss Wilmott added that we believe it is through the harmonious contact with FATHER DIVINE and HIS Universal Work of Righteousness that all of this has come about.
