The Feast at The Divine Lorraine Hotel,
Holy Communion Hall
This beautiful Message by our LORD and King on this occasion follows the significant song HE so sweetly sang concerning the Banquet Table, or the Welcome Table which David and Solomon spoke about in the days of old but which is now made Real, Tangible and Practical in this day and time.
Truly can we say that daily the Scriptural quotations and predictions of the prophets, the seers and the sages, yea, even the fondest imaginations of the children of men, are being brought to fruition here in our midst, for the LORD of the Vineyard is here and is gathering His Own unto HIM from the four corners of the earth. HE is not only drawing the souls and bodies of men unto HIM but HE is keeping them together until they are united effectively and the soul and the body become one in this great unification process!
Read therefore this glorious lecture, and imbibe these Gems of Wisdom, for these priceless Pearls will bring you closer in heart, mind and body to the realization of your fondest dreams and imaginations come true.
Thank YOU, FATHER Dear!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which is recorded the song FATHER sang just before HE arose to speak.)
You are sitting at the Welcome Table, in this land, in this land;
You are sitting at the Welcome Table, in this land, in this land;
You are sitting at the Welcome Table in this land!
This is the Table David spoke about, in this land, in this land;
This is the Table David spoke about, in this land, in this land;
This is the Table David spoke about, etc., in this land!
Now won't you eat, drink and be merry, in this land, in this land?
Won't you eat, drink and be merry, in this land, in this land, etc.
This is the Table Solomon spoke about, in this land, in this land;
This is the Table Solomon spoke about, in this land, in this land, etc.
And He led me up to the Banqueting House, in this land, etc..
So you are sitting at the Welcome Table, in this land, in this land, etc.
And His Banner over us is Love, in this land, in this land, etc..
So this is the Table JESUS spoke about, in this land, in this land, etc.
I want you to eat, drink and be merry, in this land, in this land, etc..
This is GOD your FATHER'S Table, in this land, in this land,
This is GOD your FATHER'S Table, in this land, in this land,
This is GOD your FATHER'S Table in this land!
(FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! Good Health, Good Will and a Good Appetite; Good Manners, Good Behavior, All Success and All Prosperity; Life, Liberty and the Reality of Happiness; the Foundation and the actual establishment of a Utopian Government for which you all have prayed!
It is a privilege to realize, the fulfillment of the Scripture is no longer merely surmised but actually realized, for in the fulfillment of it, it is materialized. This is a material Table as an abstract expression according to your fondest imagination of feasting at the Welcome Table some day. You, a good many of you, have sung that song,
'Some day we shall feast at the Welcome Table;'
and I heard one say by composition and it has been sung and transmitted through
the ages even until now:
'There is rest for the weary, there is rest for you;
On the other side of Jordan, in the sweet fields of Eden,
There is a Tree of Life a-blooming; there is rest for the weary,
There is rest for you!'
realizing the Scriptures and inspirational predictions are being fulfilled in
this dispensation, and you are in the fulfilling and in the making of the Scriptures
a Reality!
Oh, how glorious it is to realize you are sitting at the Welcome Table! Truly might have Solomon declared,
'And He led us to the Banqueting House, and His Banner over us is Love.'
It was a declaration apparently as though he was speaking of himself individually,
or as an individual, but it was a prediction of this dispensation when there
would be a Banqueting House established better known in reality as the Holy Communion
Service in all of the different places, as Banquets such as had not been mentioned
many times in the Bible. Banquets were not mentioned very many times in the Bible
as Feasts were because they did not have so very much, but they would have now
and again a great feast.
But oh, how glorious it is to realize, in the Perfection of a Feast I stand, having established the Perfection of a Feast for the children of men that Banqueting House universally where you can sit at the Welcome Table, or where you have sat at the Welcome Table, and where you can sit at the Welcome Table daily; and the controlling Power over you supernaturally is Love!
We are not speaking of the Love and the controlling Power merely to be materially
depicted as a symbol only, but the reality of that which the symbol represents.
The Banner over you is Love! Again in the fulfillment of the Scripture,
'Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies!'
It is wonderful to realize the Table has been set and the bounty and the blessings have been spread and you can partake of this Holy Bread for the sustenance of your bodies and for the benefit of your souls, for the purpose of uniting your soul and body together. You have heard men say from time to time, "It takes all you can do to keep soul and body together,", especially when there are economic panics and famines and depressions in the land such as our various political administrations have brought upon the children of men. They can hardly keep soul and body together because they do not get enough to eat.
But I came to supply the Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good of every necessary food for the sustenance of your bodies and for the benefit of your souls, to keep your soul and your body together so that your soul will be your body and your body will be your soul!
When you are true and are led by the Spirit of GOD, the little Leaven leaveneth the whole lump, and your body actually becomes to be your soul, and your soul is your body, for they are united together in the fulfillment of the Gospel Epistle of the Apostle when he predicted,
'They that are joined to the LORD are one Spirit!'
When your body is joined to the LORD effectively and when your soul is joined
to the LORD effectively, GOD unites them together in that marriage that cannot
be severed. Hence, your soul and your body are one when I keep them together,
until they are awakened and resurrected in the NEWNESS of life, and it is a matter
of impossibility then to get one without getting the other!
You cannot get the soda out of the biscuit without getting the biscuit, for they have been kneaded together and preserved by cooking. Can you not see the mystery? And all of the soda and even the salt and sugar and other ingredients, they are all dissolved into one; hence, to get one you must get the other.
I AM keeping your souls and bodies together until you can unite them effectively. When you are led by the Spirit persistently and continually it is a matter of impossibility to get your soul without getting your body; it is a matter of impossibility to get your body without getting your soul!
Elijah was an abstract expression in the verification of what I AM telling you, before I told you. GOD caused Elijah to be true and faithful and be led by the Spirit, and whensoever GOD would call Elijah, Elijah would obey, and eventually he went everywhere where GOD told him to go and did what GOD told him to do, and the spirit and the body, as being termed the soul, were so harmonious, and through harmonization they came into the unification of Spirit, of Mind, and of Aim and Purpose. Hence, when GOD called for Elijah's soul HE could not get the soul without getting the body!
Enoch walked and talked with GOD three hundred years. You see, he observed GOD continually until GOD called for that which is termed the soul, the spirit. GOD could not get the spirit without getting the body, and GOD took him for he walked and talked with HIM!
So it is a wonderful privilege to see how the keeping the SOUL and the BODY together will bring about that long-sought-for Kingdom on the earth plane, because you need not keep going up on the psychic plane and you cannot get there, only in spirit and mind; you cannot get there physically or personally. Therefore, the psychics are for those who live in the psychics and not for those of you who live in the reality.
The REALNESS of GOD is made Tangible and Practical; that is why a good many of them cannot understand ME. They think you should be psychically inclined and believe in mythological things alone. Imaginations are all right for the advancement of your faith in something that is imaginary until you can establish the imaginary concept in reality and when it is once established effectively, then you have it, because it is made Real, Tangible, Personal and Practical.
'The Word was made FLESH and dwelt among us!'
There is no getting around it! For this cause I have brought all the power that
be from the spiritual to the earth plane. That is the reason I can have free
access for expression; that is the reason I can do all things because the powers
that have been in the psychics' spiritual and imaginary heaven, I have brought
these powers in consideration on the earth plane and harnessed them effectively,
and brought them into subjection just as Benjamin Franklin did the lightning,
and now we can enjoy it!
It is no longer a supposition. It was a supposition when he first imagined it, but he brought out of the fondest imagination of his superstitious version, before he knew better, the recognition and the realization of his fondest imagination; therefore, he brought out the great invention long to be remembered and never to be forgotten; an invention, parably speaking, of the mystery of the invention of the spirit and the mind of all creation being harnessed and brought into subjection, even the spirit and the mind of your suppositional heaven! Aren't you glad?
Yea, I say, the spirit and the mind of your suppositional heaven, I have harnessed it and brought it down, of all of the religions of the past, the future and the present, and I have brought them into subjection therefore, I have absolute access for expression for GOD from all of the imaginary heaven is made a LIVING REALITY made REAL, TANGIBLE and PRACTICAL, and has brought all of His Dominion from that suppositional realm to the earth plane, in answer to the prayer all Christians have prayed:
'Let THY Kingdom come. THY Will be done on earth, as it is in heaven!'
It came down supernaturally and invisibly! It did not come with observation,
but it was tangibilated and materialized and reproduced and Personified as it
was necessary to establish the Kingdom on the earth plane. One of the writers
puts it:
'Our FATHER which art in heaven, hallowed be THY Name!
THY Kingdom come, THY Will be done on earth . . .'
one says, "in earth" according to the old historical writers; it comes
both on earth and in earth. Aren't you glad? So it is made real, tangible and
practical, but it was a supposition, which was an imagination, but it was such
a glorious imagination. I would not allow your imagination to lie dormant just
in your subconsciousness, or in your consciousness, but I brought it into actuality.
I have tangibilated it, I have materialized it, I have harnessed it and I have
made it real and practical!
We shall have a Righteous Government and all creation shall live in the recognition of GOD'S Actual Presence, for GOD tangibilate's and materializes spiritual things; GOD quickens and spiritualizes and awakens material things and causes them to be ONE by His great process of Tangiblization and Harmonization by UNIFICATION! I thank you.
