Home of the Soul, Sayville. L. I., N. Y.
There is not a phase of life that makes for the betterment and helpfulness of the people that escapes the attention of the LORD. Even before the call is made by individuals for these virtues and expressions, GOD calls them forth into existence, that all who will concern themselves to learn the method of approach to these attributes, might partake of them freely and imbibe them and enjoy them even as HE Himself does, Who is the Expresser of the abundance of all good things. Then, as we follow the MASTER in these scientific lessons, we learn how to become the absolute possessors of them, and the expressers of the positive rather than the expressers of the negative, as FATHER has so illustriously proven, and all mankind heretofore have been expressers of.
This is a marvelous mystery unfolded to the children of men, through the courtesy and condescension of the LORD, to know how to permanently enjoy the blessings of perfect health, and the secret of becoming immune to all afflictions. sickness and diseases. By reading this message, absorbing it and applying it accurately whensoever it is necessary, victory will be attained over all of these limitations, as so clearly shown herein by FATHER. For Thy sweet words in song and in this definite message, we do truly thank Thee, FATHER DIVINE, our LORD!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)
(Firstly singing;)
'Walk in this Light, this beautiful Light;
Walk where the dew-drops of Justice shine bright,
Shining all around us by day and by night;
FATHER is the Light of this world.'
PEACE, EVERYONE: (Peace, FATHER Dear!" exclaimed the jubilant throng.) Righteousness, justice and truth, good manners, good behavior and good luck for you with good health, good will and a good appetite, and we shall have a good government. This is the mission for which I came; the cause and the purpose for which I stand: to bring about a universal brotherhood of man, that mankind might realize the FATHERHOOD of GOD; but remember, it is a matter of impossibility for humanity personally to recognize the brotherhood of man personally and nationally and physically unless they firstly recognize the FATHERHOOD of GOD.
How can there be a brother unless there is a father? How can there be a son or a daughter unless there is a father and a mother? According to "Science and Health", GOD is your Father-Mother-GOD. According to Jesus, GOD is your Father, and you never had another. The nations of the earth collectively are your sisters and your brothers; therefore, "out of one blood GOD formed all nations," by the one Spirit of Righteousness, which has been created and put forth into expression in the different factions of righteousness and of religion, etc., but it is by the Spirit of GOD of Whom you say I AM.
When I say, "righteousness, justice and truth," I AM not calling it confinely to you, but to the universe, to the whole round world, that all might understand there is a reality in this Fundamental that shall eventually have dominion overall of the inhabitants of the earth. All mankind shall realize GOD as a reality, and as a living factor in the hearts and lives of humanity as well as you.
This Truth is not confined to religion; it is not bound to creeds; it is not bound to nationalities; it is not bound to races not colors, but as the principle of mathematics, so is the Principle of this great Salvation, this Fundamental that I AM advocating.
Every person has a right to be taught a common school education, to be taught in the way of wisdom, knowledge and understanding in this high light of civilization, that each and every individual might understand one another better. This is the purpose of education. Each person is taught the principle of mathematics to some degree or else he cannot pass in school. This is one of the fundamentals that is necessary for all of our professions, for all of our work, for all classes and for all organizations, the principle of mathematics; but the principle of mathematics is invisible, it is unreal, it is intangible until it shall have been dialed in on by the student or pupil, so that they may learn the principle of mathematics and become to be the personifiers of it. When you are the personifiers of the principle of mathematics, if you will bring forth both it and them to fruition, you will be a mathematician.
These thoughts are dropped for your consideration, or by the insignificant connection, as it may be termed. Truly it is coming by HIM, but it is from the fount of GOD'S omniscience, from the fount of GOD'S understanding the Spirit of Wisdom is freely flowing, teaching people of every nation, language and tongue the significance of recognizing GOD as a reality, as your leader and as your teacher and as your protector and as your aid and helper. It is wonderful! Because of this, the Spirit of MY Presence has gone out to create the spirit of honesty in the hearts and lives of the children of men, that they may not seek any longer through graft and greed and dishonesty, the welfare organizations for their support and protection. If you will let ME, I will help you. I will take you from out of the bread line, and I will lift you where you were cast down. I will build you up where you were torn down. I will help you where you stand in the need of help. I will prove to the world conclusively, GOD is rich and all you need. You need not look for another, for GOD is your Father, your Mother, your Sister and your Brother, and you never had another.
GOD is lifting you from the bread line, lifting you from the welfare organizations, for such is the foundation of the incubation of vice and crime and dishonesty. It is all right if you need it, but there are thousands of people who are deceiving the organizations, the welfare organizations, robbing the city, the state and the country, even the Federal Government, through false pretense. They are forging notes in reality, although they may not be notes in writing. But they are forging notes in deeds and actions, pretending to be standing in need of help at times, when they are not. Many times they are lying, saying they have no husbands. And in many cases, they have five, six and seven children, and not a one is their own. I came to clean you up; cleanse you from all filthiness of the flesh and the Spirit, perfecting Holiness in the fear of GOD, that you might recognize and realize the FATHERHOOD of GOD, and the brotherhood of man, as the condescension of GOD is to them.
Oh, that man could but understand the great significance of living evangelically! If you live evangelically whole-heartedly, you will be a partaker of CHRIST'S characteristics, CHRIST'S nature; in other words, GOD'S nature transmitted through Jesus, and that will be the expression of honesty. When it is brought to fruition, it will be CHRIST in you, the Hope of Glory; nevertheless, I AM not here as a Person to lift you from these different welfares, organizations and charities, to be responsible for you personally. If you know Who I AM, yea, even if you do not know Who I AM, the SPIRIT of MY Presence and the PRESENCE of MY Spirit are sufficient to make ways and means whereby you will be abundantly blessed, and you will have everything you need to meet your demands without leaning on ME Personally as a man. That is the great significance of your conscious conviction and of your conscious realization of the INFINITENESS of the ALMIGHTY and the Divinity of HIM of Whom you say I AM. That is the great significance of it.
If you refuse to take from the welfares, and look to ME Personally as a man, you are not depending on ME as the INFINITE, neither do you believe in reality, that I can make you what you are, or what you desire to be, even as I have made others, and as I have made MYSELF what I AM.. Suppose I would call your attention to the consideration of the experience of one of MY followers. She has not come to ME as yet, and asked ME for a penny, neither has she asked ME for a place to stay when I lifted her out of the gutter, when she did not have a place to lay her head, neither did she have health or courage. She did not even so much as have an opportunity letters she said she had not learned. But because she was ignorant enough to believe in ME, after she was healed to believe sincerely that I AM GOD, she has never asked ME for a morsel of food, not Personally. She has never asked ME for a penny, not Personally; and yet she has a-full and a-plenty; houses and land in the fulfillment of the Scripture
'He came as the poorest among men, yet making many rich";
and not necessarily Personally giving an individual a cent.
I have solved the economic problem. I have brought the cost of living down whereby a man, if he desires to be honest, competent and true, he can meet the issues of life. Wheresoever he goes, he can be abundantly blessed and fully supplied with everything he needs; matters not where he is. MY Mission is not to merely feed the unemployed and keep them as bums and beggars all of the time. It is Wonderful; but MY Mission is to educate them and lift them morally, socially, financially and intellectually, that they might stand in the land of the living, expressing GOD'S perfection, the glory of GOD among them. That is what I came for. Although I have been, and still AM, feeding, maybe somewhere around twenty-five hundred or three thousand people a day, many of them, or the most of them are called "unemployed", feeding them absolutely free daily in and around this city and in this vicinity; nevertheless, that is not the great significance of MY Mission. I Came to help them to help themselves, that they might be able to reach the economic condition and solve their own problems without ME Personally.
When you are depending on ME Personally, you are denying the reality of MY, well, I can say, of MY infiniteness, of MY majesty and of MY dominion. In other words, you are denying the reality of MY Deity. But if you sincerely believe it and express it in deeds and in actions, the SPIRIT of MY Presence, if you are one hundred and seven years old, as one of the brothers is, will cause you to be young and be capable of doing the things you have not done, and the things which you could not have done, and be able to meet the problems of life, and answer every question. That is MY Mission, to make you independent and no longer dependent to, and on anything saving the FUNDAMENTAL of Whom you say I AM; and I AM not confined nor bound to the Person, neither to MY Personal nor real property, as would be called "Mine".
Jot these thoughts down in your vocabularies. Accept of this Message and live it and the Spirit of MY Presence will be with you; you will be absolutely independent and you will express it in deeds and in actions; you will not even reflect the slightest sketch of a percent of a fraction of a grain of dependency on any individual, for the Spirit of MY Presence will make you independent; as CHRIST is rich and all you need. HE will supply you with that desirable energy and courage and zeal and bless you to the extent you will be able to get whatsoever you need.
I hope these words will be as a memorial or as a consideration for you. I hope you will take them home with you. Those of MY immediate followers, co-workers and friends, and if I have any who think they are My opposers or opponents or enemies, I AM saying the same to them. I cannot have an enemy, for that which is termed an enemy or an opposer or opponent, they are My friends. They will do, and have done much more for ME than what you have done, and what you are doing.
Every knock is a boost! Every criticism is a Praise. Pharaoh was more of an expression of "the friend of GOD," when it was worked out, than that of Moses and the Children of Israel, in reality. For this cause GOD raised up Pharaoh, to spread HIS Name throughout the whole earth. Pharaoh was the spreader of GOD'S Name . . . that is the way Moses and the Children of Israel received their fame: and that is the way Moses' mission ascended and was extended through the ages to this very day in which we are now living.
Jot these thoughts down in your vocabularies; for even though you may be humanly intelligent, the Spirit of GOD'S Presence is sufficient to teach you Wisdom, that of which you had not been thinking. GOD in the midst of you is mighty to save. GOD in the midst of you is rich and all you need, and will teach you Wisdom where man has not yet been; yea, where a man has not yet seen.
Oh, it is such a privilege to stand in the liberty wherewith CHRIST has set you free, and be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage, the mortal versions of men, for GOD Himself is with them, and GOD Himself will teach you all things, and you will not need man to teach you.
Oh, it is such a privilege! Throw off the veil of materialism. Throw off the veil of the mortal versions of men, for that which has no been thrown off as the veil to them, it must be torn in twain. When it is torn in twain, as it was when John was born, you can look diligently in the Temple of GOD, and you can see the things concerning your KING, your REDEEMER and your SAVIOR; therefore, I say,
'Fret not yourselves because of the workers of iniquity, for they shall be cut off.'
and the iniquities of your fathers and mothers and fore-ancestors cannot find
you when you are new creatures. By putting on new characteristics, a new nature,
a new disposition, and when you become to be, in reality, a new creature, the
iniquities of your fathers and mothers cannot find you, and if they try to find
you to visit you, they will not be able to identify you.
You have lost your old identity by becoming new creatures mentally. As you are new creatures mentally, you are new creatures physically, for your physical bodies are but the outward expression of the mental and spiritual conception that has been delivered through tribulation. Truly might have Jesus said:
'Except a man be born again, he cannot see," or "enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.'
Those were the words of Jesus, for He knew they must be born out of that Adamic
state of consciousness through tribulations; born mentally and Spiritually, that
they might become to be new creatures and the ancestors' infirmities will not
be able to find them, much less identify them. And if perchance your old ancestors'
iniquities and infirmities would find you, they will not be able to identify
you, and if they who carry with them the contagion of the iniquities of your
fathers and your mothers see you, they will "pass over you."
That is the mystery, beloved ones, of why and how you are redeemed physically from your physical ailments and complaints that have heretofore held you. You are redeemed from those conditions by the conscious realization of GOD'S Presence; and by putting off your old characteristics, your old nature, your old disposition, your old infirmities cannot find you, and they cannot identify you; therefore, you cannot be afflicted, neither diseased nor sickly again. It is Wonderful.
Now, this is not confined to the physical conditions; but firstly the mental and the Spiritual. You will not be subject to those tendencies that caused your infirmities; you will not be subject to those inclinations that create such a condition in your system, that cause you to be physically unfit for your daily occupation.
These are just a few points for consideration, but take these points that I have quoted for consideration, as a sample, and measure all other points in your mentality for this simple sample of an expression that I have given you. When this shall have been accomplished, you will detach your old infirmities, afflictions, sickness and diseases and the iniquities of your fathers and other ancestors will not be able to find you, and even if they could find you, they cannot identify you. Your physical bodies look different. You do not even look physically the same. Your personal bodies do not look as they used to look. The majority of you have advanced at least thirty or forty percent in weight and in size. This is an outward expression of a sketch and a reflection of the condition of the mind within. When this shall have been done universally, the transformation of the mind of humanity will transform the world completely, and all will become to be new creatures, and the kingdoms of this world shall be the Kingdom of Our GOD and HIS Christ. Your physical bodies will be the Temples of the Living GOD in reality, where they have been the temples of the "other fellow".
The "other fellow", by interpretation of "Science and Health", the "other fellow" is known or in other words, is interpreted, error. You have been the personification and the reincarnators of error, but hereafter you shall be the personification, firstly, the reincarnators of MY Mind, of MY Spirit and of MY Presence, of which is GOD Himself in reality. When this is accomplished universally, Righteousness, Justice and Truth shall be; not only so, but Good Health, Good Will and a Good Appetite, with a Good Universal Government. I thank you.
