FATHER DIVINE
Were it not that we can actually see the great strength of true spirituality, it would be unbelievable; but when we see the great Work going on day after day through the bodies of the children of men, we know that it could only be accomplished by the Spirit of GOD.
The glorious day of the boat outing had ended and a new day was well on its way when the evening banquet was being served. It was a sharp contrast that the children of GOD were at this time dining, while the world of mortality must needs sleep to renew their strength for the conventional eight-hour work day.
On this subject FATHER delivered a beautiful Message explaining how HE can work continuously and untiringly through His Temple, the bodies of the children of men, when all thoughts of weariness are eliminated from their conscious mentality.
Beloved Redeemer, we thank Thee!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and FATHER'S Message follows the little song HE sang just before speaking.)
Song:
"You should never, never, never get tired;
you should never, never, never get tired.
If you trust in My Word and abide in My Mind,
you should never, never get tired.
PEACE, EVERYONE! That little composition in a very few words I composed just then as a Message to the true and the faithful among you, as being termed the children of men. It is a Message as a request I have requested, that you should know you shall walk and not get weary, you shall run and not faint, you shall go and shall not tire!
These thoughts are well worth considering when you live in such a recognition as this one; for if you are living in this recognition and have brought an end to yourself completely and an abolition to all of your versions, ideas and opinions, there will be none, or not any, whichever, to be bothered with, saving GOD'S.
If GOD'S Spirit, if GOD'S Love, if GOD'S Life is doing it, then let the Spirit do it! I continually stress it, for I have declared it. But if you do not know within yourself and have not developed in your consciousness, the recognition of Perfection over imperfection, the Perfect over the imperfect, the Desirable over the undesirable and the Life of GOD in you above the life and death of men, you will feel as if though you would tire. But when you know GOD is all there is for you, and when you shall have been consciously convinced and converted into this recognition, you will not have an occasion to fret nor worry, for GOD impersonally will be with you.
Just think of these wonderful demonstrations we have had for these last three days, as it may be termed how My Spirit has victoriously conquered every opposition, every difficulty, all trials and tribulations and every seeming or would-be failure! It has proven to the world conclusively, it is a matter of impossibility for you to be a failure if you trust in ME whole-heartedly.
When man has come to his extremity, GOD has an opportunity. For this cause it is essential for each and every individual to come to his or her extremity, that GOD might have an opportunity for expression, for GOD cannot express effectively unless you let go completely and relax your conscious mentality and leave space and place for GOD'S expression.
Through the different oppositions, through the different barriers and limitations I have already come. I came through those conditions to prove GOD as victorious over them; for as I say, if anything can hinder GOD, GOD should be hindered! If anything can prevent GOD from expressing according to His own expression, why then, it should be hindered, for it is not the Perfect expression to be considered. But when you shall have consciously been convinced over and over again that it is a matter of impossibility for GOD to fail you, why, then you will know it is impossible to be a failure if you are trusting in the Almighty!
Then I said, "It is not by power nor by might but by My Spirit", and if it is by My Spirit, permit ME to tell you once again, let My Spirit do it and it will do it! My Spirit will give you the victory over all sickness, afflictions and diseases, over ailments and complaints, over every discrimination, and will establish your going on the land of the living, and victoriously a conqueror will your going be when you know ME definitely.
Then you should not get tired! I heard one say by composition in Christendom:
"I don't feel no way weary, I don't feel any ways tired."
The same Spirit is speaking for each and everyone when you recognize GOD'S actual Presence by bringing into your own experience the reality of GOD according to your own individual conscious conviction.
And, oh, how glorious it is to see what My Spirit has done in the act of bringing all of the nations of the earth together and unifying them as one man at Jerusalem! This is not a supposition; no longer is it to be merely an imagination; but as the conscious conviction and the realization of millions has been established, even so real will it be throughout eternity as long as you recognize such as being real in your consciousness.
To stand against oppositions, oppositions must be persistent in their ambition in opposition to you, that you might stand against the oppositions that rise in opposition to you; for if you do not have oppositions to rise in opposition to you, it is a matter of impossibility for you to make the advances you should make and prove the mastery over oppositions.
But when you find oppositions are persistent in their ambition apparently, then you be more persistent in your ambition and the Spirit of My Presence will give you the victory; for it is GOD and His Spirit and not you as a person doing it!
I thought this early morning, how marvelous it is to rely upon something that cannot fail you!
"Man's extremity is GOD'S opportunity."
It is a blessing for you to be extremiated. It is a blessing for everything and for everybody to fail you, that you might have an opportunity and a chance to trust in the Almighty!
Once again I say, you should not get weary and should not get tired, for GOD will carry your burden you do not have any burden unless you have a body. If you have a body or if you have a mentality, if you have anything consciously, that conscious claim of anything will bring all sorts of burdens upon your mind.
The conscious mentality with its mortal claims will keep you limited and burdened down, but if you let go that conscious concept concerning yourself and everybody else from a personal point of view, and observe things impersonally, there and then you have the victory; for you will transcend the barriers of limitations, you will go into Infinite mentally and spiritually you will find you have no destination in this recognition!
As I said the other day, the last enemy to be conquered is death! When you shall have come to your very wit's end, gone as far as you can go in opposition to the opposers, in opposition to those things and conditions that are in opposition to you, when you shall have gotten to the opposition of death and death itself in your consideration, shall have been swallowed up in victory, knowing definitely you are just as victoriously a conqueror over death as you are over anything else, why, then and only then have you won the Victory, the Victory that you must have to overcome in reality.
This is a mental and a spiritual concept. You can see the idea concerning this mystery. You observe your victory over undesirable conditions regardless to the circumstances, regardless to the consequences, knowing within yourself once and forever, your endeavors can and will be accomplished with or without a body.
When you observe it from that angle, you will transcend personalities, you will transcend individualities, you will transcend all barriers and all limitations, for those things no longer have an existence in the great Universal Mind Substance. They exist only in mortal consciousness.
If you are conscious mortal-mindedly of things that hinder you, if you observe those things from a personal point of view, naturally you can be personally hindered; but if you transcend the personal concept concerning the mystery and revel mentally and spiritually into this Liberty, you will find yourself victoriously a conqueror over those conditions.
"You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin,"
one said or words to that effect.
When you shall have mentally and spiritually gotten to the very depths of conditions that are in opposition, and mentally and spiritually you still remain victoriously a conqueror in your conscious consideration, there and then you have overcome death, the last enemy of which I was speaking. It is a personal battle it is not a physical battle. It is a mental and spiritual battle in your consciousness.
In your conscious mentality you must overcome the oppositions mentally and spiritually from every angle expressible, and realize barriers cannot hinder you. Go through those conditions mentally and spiritually and know definitely it is a matter of impossibility for any sort of an undesirable condition to have an existence when you are conscious of GOD'S actual Presence. There and then you have won the victory over death, the "other place" and destruction. Because you are not bound mentally to your concept concerning things from a personal point of view, personalities may come or go it will matter not with you! Your version will be the same, for you will be characteristically One with your GOD, your Savior, a GOD that never changes!
How glorious it is to know this Truth! Then I say, lift up your minds in this recognition build upon this foundation that cannot be shaken. Your foundation can be shaken so long as you mortal-mindedly live in mortal consciousness, so long as you measure your work and your mission or yourself even with the measure of a man, according to the mortal version! Such has a barrier, such has limitation, and as you get to those barriers or limitations, you will find yourselves limited in your endeavors. You will not be able to accomplish that which you have endeavored because of your conscious conviction or recognition and the barrier of something to hinder; for
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
But live in this recognition. Transcend every barrier, transcend every opposition, transcend every imaginable barrier and revel into the glorious Liberty of GOD'S Son! Get this privilege, this Liberty that I give you. Live it and stress it consciously and subconsciously, and convince yourself once and forever, GOD in you is victorious.
Sickness, sorrow, pain nor death not any of those things can hinder when you transcend those barriers and oppositions, for in your conscious mentality you will reckon the reality of GOD'S actual Presence and no longer observe those barriers; for My Spirit and My Mind will bring an abolition to them mentally and spiritually; therefore they have no longer an existence when they are not in consciousness nor in consideration.
Things only exist as long as they exist in the consciousness of some individual, but when you dispel such a version completely from the consciousness of such individuals who have such things in consciousness, then and only then will you have the victory over those conditions by realizing the nothingness of those alleged conditions and the Allness of the Impersonal Presence that has been invisible.
By your bringing an abolition to the visible undesirable conditions in your conscious mentality, naturally the invisible will appear in the place of the visible, antagonistic and conflicting conditions, and when the visibilization of the Perfect Picture shall have been established within you, there will be no longer need for the invisible of the negative to be reckoned and considered; for it has no longer an existence when you have dispelled it.
I need not say more I believe I have said enough in words; but I will speak more distinctly in actions and in deeds weekly, monthly and yearly; for I AM going through every field of endeavor and I AM establishing My going in the land of the living. I AM making the crooked way straight in them and the rough ways plain, that the children of GOD, as being termed the children of men, might have victory over all undesirable conditions and live in HIM Whom you say I AM now, henceforth and forever. I thank you.
