FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE
'Glory to GOD in the Highest; and on Earth, Peace, Good Will to Man.'
GOD in His Infinite Mercy, condescended this morning to lead His Children up to the Mount of Glory, where a beautiful survey was made of the Holy City and the New Jerusalem. It was truly a glorious scene, there in the field with GOD.
HE led us into the "Vale of Archaeology", and HE explained the secrets therein. HE guided us to the orient and there HE explained the origin of the Peace of GOD on earth to man. HE carried us from thence, through the space of many years, to the coming of Jesus, when the reproduction of this same Peace was heard in a melody as a song, being termed the angels singing,
'Glory to GOD in the Highest, and on Earth Peace, Good Will to Man.'We followed the direction of our FATHER, to Jerusalem, and there we stayed awhile, where we obtained valuable information concerning Jesus and how the Wise Men of the East worshiped Him. We learned many wonderful and marvelous things of ancient days and we traveled along down to the reign of Jesus and saw the mystery of the Vineyard and the letting of it unto husbandmen, how they abused and wounded the servants, and beat and killed others, and finally they beat and wounded and killed Jesus; but the CHRIST was never defeated. Therefore, Jesus was the Sample and the Example of perfect Faith, and thus He could not be defeated. Even though He was crucified by cruel and wicked men, and put to death, the sting of death could not hold Him fast, for He was the Victor, and as is was written of Him, so it is:
'I Am the first and the last; I Am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I Am alive forevermore.'"PEACE" was the watchword for consideration. It was spoken of by the sister who gave a testimony just preceding FATHER'S Message. Such Peace, she stated, she has never known in a lifetime, as the sweet Peace that now dwells in her being since she contacted this "Haven of Peace". She asked for complete healing of her physical body, and for Spiritual Guidance and Understanding.
It was upon this subject that FATHER spoke, giving us the origin and the significance of this Attribute of GOD; how it had been undermined by the wicked husbandmen, which HE likened unto "human theories and doctrines of men, the human intellect, skill and ability of men; culture, science and its many branches; how it had sought to rob GOD of His Glory, and give the inheritance to themselves, to their intellect, their ingenuity, their skill and their ability.
FATHER took us out into the great field of modern civilization and showed us the mental and intellectual culturists, methods of farming in the Universal Vineyard of GOD, how those husbandmen, the keepers of the vineyard, the farmers thereof, tried to keep the inheritance for themselves and their descendants. But because of their injustice, their inhumane and unrighteous dealing, their cruelty to the LORD'S servants and to the legal, lawful and rightful heir, the Son, the LORD of that Vineyard came Himself to control the management of it, and to give the inheritance unto others, to those who would recognize the Ownership of the Vineyard, and would respect and reverence the LORD of that Vineyard; and so HE has come, and the fruit of the Vineyard is now being rightfully distributed to the laborers, for it is written:
'And the laborer is worthy of his hire.'It was a wonderful Message and a wonderful experience, "out in the field with God." You will enjoy same; therefore, tune in on the Principle, and the Message you will appreciate, for these are the living Words of GOD. The Song of Peace precedes the Message.
FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE
'My Peace I give, My Peace I leave,
My Peace I give, My Peace I leave.
Not as the world gives, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid;
Let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid;
Let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid;
Not as the world gives, give I unto you.
My Peace I give, My Peace I leave,
My Peace I give, My Peace I leave,
My Peace I give, My Peace I leave;
Not as the world gives, give I unto you.
My Peace and My Joy and My Happiness,(FATHER speaks as follows:)
My Peace and My Joy and My Happiness,
My Peace and My Joy and My Happiness,
Not as the world gives, give I unto you.'
The original oriental Message I brought it to you for consideration:
My Peace I give, My Peace I leave;
Not as the world gives, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.'
These Words were spoken long before the Coming of Jesus as a Person. They were
spoken into existence by the CHRIST Consciousness submerged in the hearts and
lives of men, those Wise Men as being termed the "Wise Men of the Far East" but
when Jesus came as a Person, being born and laid in the Manger, they apparently
heard the reproduction of that same Peace in a melody as a song, being termed
the "angels" singing:
'Glory to GOD in the Highest, and on earth Peace, Good Will towards men.'
The Message was brought into materialization as Jesus was the Person to be the
Personification of every good and desirable expression. These Words having been
incarnated in Him, He brought the very Spirit and the Words to fruition and as
an individual He brought Peace to all mankind. He Lived It. He Believed It and
He became to Physically BE IT and thence, these are the Words He spake unto His
disciples of nineteen hundred years ago:
'My Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give unto you,
Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.'
This Message condescendingly came through and by those who were called Wise and
Holy Men years and years before the Body called Jesus was born, but condescendingly
they came apparently in the words of a song, as the Wise Men had heard them long
before Jesus was born, the words of "Peace and Good Will to Mankind",
when they were coming from the land of Egypt, or in other words from the East
to Jerusalem to worship Him. Those men were called "Wise Men", humanly
speaking, astrologers, etc., having discerned the Star and believing within themselves,
it was about the time one should be born who would Rule all nations of the earth;
they heard the echo of that Song in a melody of Praises by inspiration. It appeared
to them as if though the angels were singing,
'Glory to GOD in the Highest, and on earth, Peace, Good Will to man.'
It was a Message, the CHRIST Consciousness as being born in Bethlehem, was bringing;
bringing a Message of Peace and Good Will to men, through and by their recognition
of the actual materialization of Him that would have Peace physically, mentally
and Spiritually, for He condescendingly came to be as a Child born in Bethlehem,
and to bring Himself up into materialization from a child, a Son, to a Man. The
Work of GOD had begun. It was going on in the hearts and lives of men, but Jesus
as the real Personification of all of GOD'S Good; condescendingly came, being
born as a Babe in Bethlehem. Living in this state of expression as being called
a Child, to bring to fruition in the consciousness of the people, the conscious
realization of GOD'S Presence, of His Love and of His Mercy towards His People.
Therefore, the very coming of the CHRIST, in the Person of Jesus, in itself, created an atmosphere and the recognition of the same; it composed the composition that we just sang, "Glory to GOD in the Highest, and on earth, Peace, Good Will to man." And as this was heard by the Wise Men, they created the Message, and it has been handed down through the ages, up until this present time, and we, as individuals, humanly speaking, are now recognizing this Glory of GOD in the Highest and also this Peace that surpasses all human understanding. ("Truly wonderful!" returned the echo of the people.)
This is it of which the last speaker was speaking, the glorious Peace and Rest and Love, that surpasses all human understanding, that she as an individual received, after coming in contact with ME. It is indeed wonderful! ("That's right", sanctioned the lady. ) Then I say,
'My Peace I give unto you; My Peace I leave with you;
Not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your
heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.'
The world will give you a Peace, a Joy, a Present or a Gift and a Talent and will take it away from you; but what says the CHRIST Consciousness unto the children of men? The same Message and the same Promise that has been handed down through the ages to this present generation:
'Not as the world giveth, give I unto you,
My Peace I give, My Peace I leave with you.'
It is indeed wonderful! If you will live evangelically, the Spirit of My Presence and the Presence of My Spirit, as it goes forth sponsoring this Infinite Peace Mission for you universally, it will be expressed, it will be manifested and it will give Peace and Joy transcending all human understanding wheresoever you are. ("So wonderful, FATHER!" remarked the hearers.) Then I say,
'My Peace I give, My Peace I leave;
Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your hearts be troubled, collectively,
Yea, even universally, neither let them be afraid.'
Such a glorious privilege to live in this recognition, where the Spirit of GOD'S Presence sponsors this Universal Peace Mission on earth among men, and this Infinite Peace Mission in the Consciousness of them, giving you Joy and Happiness and a real, true, an Everlasting Emancipation; an Emancipation from wars and rumors of wars, from trouble of every kind, and establish your going in the Land of the Living, from all of your sickness, sorrows and diseases, you are receiving your Healing. (A great throng corroborated these facts.)
Live in this recognition, and you will enjoy this true and real Emancipation, and the Peace that surpasses all human understanding I AM putting forth in Words, Deeds and Actions, and you as well as I will come to your rightful inheritance as a Child of the Living GOD. You will have a Peace and a Joy that no man taketh, for no man can take this Joy that I have produced in my Own Consciousness, and this Love that transcends all human imagination, It goes into Infinitude, the end you cannot vision. It is out of your imagination. Live in this recognition, being continuously in the Spirit of Praises and Thanksgiving; you will increase your Blessings and multiply them, for the asking, the Blessings are given. "He that asketh of Him, it shall be given", therefore, the Blessings are given to the Asker. "For the affirmations you make, GOD confirms"; therefore, the confirmation takes place for the affirmation, and for your giving thanks, GOD increases the Blessings; for giving Praises, GOD multiplies them. Therefore I say,
'Ask, Affirm, give Thanks and give Praises;("It's wonderful!" exclaimed the Assembly.)
GOD will Give, Confirm, Increase and Multiply.'
These are facts and figures too stout to be denied, for you can plainly see them manifested here and now and everywhere I AM; "the Abundance of the Fullness of all good things is manifested wheresoever I AM." "Ask, Affirm, give Thanks and give Praises; GOD will Give, Confirm, Increase and Multiply." By so doing, you are partakers of these limitless Blessings that I have created in the consciousness of men that I AM bringing to fruition in the midst of them, and they are being Increased and Multiplied continually; "for of His Kingdom and of His Increase, there shall be no end." Therefore, by so doing and by it so being, the Peace that surpasses all understanding, through these Blessings, I AM giving. ("So wonderful, FATHER", assured the gathering.) Then I say,
'My Peace I give, My Peace I leave with you;
Not as the world gives, give I unto you;
Let not your hearts be troubled,
Neither let them be afraid.'
You know within yourselves you have never seen it, and the time whereby mankind was filled with such zeal and courage and hope as you are today. ("Never!" supported the people.) This Zeal and Courage will prohibit you from being afraid. This Peace and this Joy that surpasses all human understanding will prohibit you from fretting or worrying. I have made your Hope substantial and caused you to be unshaken in FAITH. I have stirred up your zeal and your courage with Faith in GOD, substantiated and with unshaken confidence; you can not be afraid. Then I say,
'Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.'
You cannot be afraid through this recognition and through this zeal and through this courage I have stirred up in your hearts and in your minds.
I AM casting out the worst enemies of all kinds, prejudices, bigotry and fear. These are the enemies to the souls of the children of men. They are the enemies to the bodies of the children of men. Such chaotic conditions, as fear and bigotry, prejudice, hatred and resentment and all of those detestable characteristics, they will cause your physical bodily form to be in a chaotic condition; but such I AM eradicating from your system, by the conscious recognition and the realization of GOD'S Presence.
Therefore, you are letting not your hearts be troubled, neither are you letting them be afraid; for this zeal and this courage, with this recognition, such conditions that are adverse to your highest good, the Spirit of My Presence is dispelling. You can see doubts and fears disappearing. You can see all negation in your consciousness dispelling. You can see the chaotic conditions of your physical systems being eradicated. You can see the great and glorious Hope and the glorious Appearing of your LORD and Savior. ("Yes, LORD, it is wonderful!" acclaimed the people.)
Do you not see the glorious Appearing of your LORD and your Savior in the place of chaos and the chaotic conditions and all negation in your system and in your mentality? ("Yes, FATHER", responded the Assembly.) Then I say, "Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid, for I have Come!" Therefore, with the Psalmist, you can say: "The Lord reigneth." "Let the multitudes of the isles be made glad: let the trees of the field clap their hands", and you can say as you have sung and still we can sing:
'Joy to the world, the LORD has come; let earth receive her KING,Then I say,
Let every heart prepare HIM room, and Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing, and Heaven, and Heaven and nature sing.'
'My Peace I give; My Peace I leave with you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.'("It's wonderful, wonderful, LORD", voiced the audience. It was necessary for FATHER to cease the cheers and the happy expressions of the people by the upward raise of His Hand.)
PEACE EVERYBODY! At this time I AM calling your attention to the testimony of one of our speakers, saying a little while ago, in bearing witness of conveying the thought of contacting the different individuals and seeming to take on their sympathetic conditions, or the conditions through sympathetic feelings. I would like to say, that is a psychological Truth to some extent, and mentally and spiritually, it is equivalently the same. "The physical condition is but the outward expression of the condition of the mind within."
I was speaking with an angel the other day, and My Personal attention was called to how they would feel at times, and I was telling this party, a great psychological Truth that each and every one of you should take for consideration. Remember, Jesus said as a Person: "Except you forsake all you have, you cannot be My Disciple."
This angel is a "Living Epistle to be seen and read by men", and if they can read the Living Epistles, how much more can GOD do? ("It is true", sanctioned the people.) This angel would at times reflect an expression in her consciousness of cursing or abusing ME. She did not desire that to be. It was because being connected with someone else that did oppose ME, the spirit of that mind would be transmitting to her as a receiving set, and unwillingly she was made subject to vanity: "to him whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey." This is a Biblical quotation for consideration.
That is why CHRIST requires a complete self-denial, a wide open sacrifice and a whole-hearted consecration. If you are not detached from all of your relatives, friends and kin and every other mortal mind, the spirit and mind of them may enter in your subconsciousness and unwillingly and unconsciously, you may be forced within yourselves to say something you would not desire to. ("It is wonderful!" shouted the people.) That is why it is written:
'Ye cannot serve two Masters.'So long as you live in connection with the mortal consciousness and any mortal person, you are subject to their tendencies and their inclinations and their fancies and their pleasures and they will transmit their thoughts to you unconsciously, and unwillingly you will become to be subject to those tendencies, and if you are not watchful, you will be cursing and swearing, but remember, if you will allow those things to be in you, you will be responsible for the crime or deeds that are done in your body. ("Truly wonderful", bespoke the people.)
You may hold on to those old mortal relatives and kin and their cursing and swearing and hating GOD on the Throne, and the first thing you know, unconsciously and unwillingly you are made subject to vanity. You are subject to blasphemy and you may curse GOD and die.
Take these thoughts to consideration. Did not Job's wife tell him to curse GOD and die? ("Yes, she did LORD", replied the hearers.) That was a pre-evidence of what would be with any and all of you, if you will stay attached to the mortal mind that is in opposition to the Truth. In this Dispensation and in this age and in this time, maybe they would not come to you personally, but they will come to you in your mind and in a hidden way, as we are living in a higher light of civilization scientifically and mechanically. You do not have to speak to a person mouth to mouth apparently, you can send a message by telephone, by telegram and by radio, and the person on the outside would never see you, neither would they know, but you could send them messages. That is a scientific Truth from a scientific point of view, through and by the mechanical world through science, and that is but a sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of the reality of the mystery of the psychological Truth and it is bearing witness of the same.
Your relatives, your kin, your races, your creeds, your nationalities and your colors and every other mortal versionated point of view or individual does not have to speak to you personally, but the spirit of their mind can be transmitted to you, if you are not detached, or if you are in contact with them mentally and spiritually; and whatsoever they think, you will also think, and if you are not watchful, the first thing you know you will do what they want you to do. The first you know, they will do in you and through you what they want to do in their own personal bodies. ("Oh, FATHER", gapingly spoke the throng.) Then I say, CHRIST said as a Person speaking to the Disciples:
'Except you forsake all you have, even your own life,Tell all the world at large, if they desire to oppose this Message of Love that I AM bringing to them, read the Gospel for themselves and if they will live Evangelically, they will be more devout than the majority of you.
you can not be My Disciple.'
CHRIST in the Person of Jesus was a Sample and an Example. He was leading and teaching the people. He was guiding them and directing them and instructing them in the way they should go. Therefore, if we are, as the Believers in the CHRIST that was called Jesus, why not accept His Teaching as a reality, as the Foundation, as the only IDEAL and copy after this fashion by LIVING it? (Applause.)
I know that CHRIST'S Ways and CHRIST'S Teaching, in that Person called Jesus, was cross-grained to the minds of the people, and that is the cross that He hung upon, the cross-grained minds of men. He came in exact opposition, cross-grained to the human mind and therefore, He established Himself in a cross state of expression, and through the material outward expression of the CROSS, it was but the out picturing of the condition of the Mind within. ("FATHER, it's wonderful!" asserted the people.) They desired to crucify the CHRIST in this Dispensation, but it is a matter of impossibility.
Now remember, I AM not speaking of materialism, I AM not speaking of matter. I AM not speaking of Personality. It is a Principle that stands Supreme and Superior to any human imagination, and it cannot be prohibited, it cannot be prevented; it cannot be defeated and it shall not be disputed.
As you heard a party testify the other day, some person said, "What would become of you all if FATHER would disappear?" How can I disappear, when I AM the very substance of your being; when I AM the very Life BREATH you breathe; when I AM your very Mind, Filling all space and absent from none; when I AM in every joint, in every sinew, every limb and every bone, yea, even in every fibre and every cell of your bodily form? To where can I disappear and to where can I go, and from whence have I come? I have risen in the hearts and minds of men, and it is a Principle that is Living throughout Eternity with or without the Bodily Form; it is absolutely immaterial to ME as far as I AM Personally concerned.
Jesus as a Person disappeared, and yet in that Sonship Degree of expression, it did live partially, although it was beaten until the LORD of the Vineyard came HIMSELF to destroy those husbandmen who had beaten the Son, and had killed Him. Graft and greed, doubts and fears, prejudices, resentment, anger and strife and all of those tendencies of the lives of the children of men, had beaten the Son, and had killed Him. ("Yes, FATHER", stated the listeners.)
Do you not see, even the human intelligence has helped to beat the Son and drive Him out? ("Yes, FATHER", responded the people to this question.) I said, the human intelligence, the light of our present civilization that has been brought into subjection to the CHRIST Consciousness, has beaten the Son and drove Him out. ("Bless You, FATHER", fervently exclaimed the assembly.) What shall the LORD of the Vineyard do? He shall come HIMSELF and destroy those husbandmen and shall give the Vineyard unto others. You can see it is fulfilled this day in your hearing. Then I say, "Who can hinder ME?" ("None" rebounded the echo.)
Those husbandmen, the keepers of the Vineyard, the farmers, they tried to keep the inheritance for themselves with human intellect that has been cultivated, the skill and the ability of men, the great farmer of modern civilization, the human intellect, culture, the great mental and intellectual culturist. The great mental and intellectual agriculturist. Farming in the great Field of Civilization, taking Possession of GOD'S Inheritance. GOD let out the Vineyard to those husbandmen human intelligence. ("Oh, it's so wonderful, LORD", commented the people.)
Time will not permit for ME to go out at this particular juncture, into the mystery; but I have given you a slight touch; I have just touched the surface of the mystery I AM giving you enough at this particular juncture, that there is a Mind of WISDOM, hidden there. I will not go deeper into the Mystery, but you will come again you will come again to this state of consideration, and when you do, you will come to the recognition of this place having been tapped especially, touching the surface and tested and found to be a Hidden Treasure of GOD'S Wisdom, GOD'S Omniscience there. I thank you.
