FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE
Directly after Attorney William E. Taylor of Washington, D.C., one of the guests at the Holy Communion Table, had expressed the wish and fervent desire that he too might know the many songs that were known by heart and sung so beautifully and enthusiastically by one and all on this occasion, and how they were so different from any he had ever heard before, seeming to be a combination, he said, of religious and political inspiration and aspiration, our beloved Savior and Redeemer arose and delivered this profound and soul-stirring sermon. In it HE stressed the significance of the Spirit of GOD'S actual, ever and omnipresence, and the conscious recognition and realization of same, and that one and all, through this recognition, might gain the key to the mystery of all mysteries, yea, to the solution of all problems!
Thank YOU, Omnipotent Savior!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! I would just say to our last speaker, our honored guest, why, those little compositions, they come by volition. They are our conscientious religious, social, political and, I would say , could say, even our intellectual convictions! Being converted into these truths by the Spirit of My presence, inspirations are awakened in the hearts and lives and in the minds of those who are converted and are convinced maybe fanatically, but according to their convictions, of My Deity! And such a conviction is the resurrection of their convictions, of many inspirations and intuitions that by transmission they are getting. Therefore, when you speak of it being somewhat political or patriotic, it is true for we believe in real Americanism, Democracy, Christianity, Judaism and Brotherhood as synonymous! That is why you see them, those of My adherents and My gatherings, wheresoever we gather, stand together with so much enthusiasm and such a religious and political conviction it causes us to be successful and prosperous, to automatically accomplish all of our endeavors!
Men cannot understand how can these things be, but if you retrace your thoughts back to the Scripture, even in the Book of Genesis, though the people were being led erroneously in building a tower up into heaven, yet they were so united that the Scripture says,
'And GOD said," in other words, "The Lord said, behold, the people is One, and they have all One Language, and this they began to do, now nothing will be restrained from them to do, that which they have imagined to do!'
GOD could not restrain them, Scripturally, from doing that which they imagined
to do, under the circumstances, so long as they were all one and all with one
accord! See the mystery? ("Yes, Lord!" exclaimed the congregation.)
They were building a tower up into heaven, according to the scripture, and GOD was obliged to confound their language so that they would not have one language and one speech and be one in reality, as these! Because they were one, GOD said,
'Nothing can be restrained from them to do, that which they have imagined to do!'
(Turning to the guests, FATHER says:) I AM sure you and the public at large have
marveled at the unfoldment of the infiniteness of My Spirit and My work on every
field of activity and even in the material things of life. A good many of them
say,
"How can HE do it?" and "Where does HE get so much money from?" I
did not say I had any money! It's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! But I can
get anything I need automatically, because of the Spirit of the Presence of GOD
and the conviction of such! (Loud applause and cheers ring out from the adoring
congregation.)
'The Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD is truly the Source of all Supply and It will satisfy every Good Desire!'
This is not just a Motto to be reiterated but it's our conscious conviction and
realization of GOD'S Presence being the source and the supply! And when you are
conscious of it, it is just as operative and expressive universally as it is
right here locally!
According to the pictorial pages of The New Day that carry My Message, you find in all other countries where I have not gone Personally and I AM glad I have not gone there to any of those places, to prove to the world conclusively, once and forever, GOD is ever and omnipresent; therefore, GOD is just as expressive in Africa, Europe and Asia as right here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave; just as operative and expressive to bring about the Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good where no space is vacant of the Fullness thereof! (Thunderous applause rings out.)
I desire to give everyone that key! It's a Key that will unlock every barred and shut door! Truly might have the key been given to Peter on the Mount of Transfiguration, when Peter, or Simon, whichever, before his name was changed, when he did say,
'I say that Thou art the CHRIST, the Son of the Living GOD!'
That Conviction was the key! I said in the Sonship Degree, there and then,
'Simon, I give you the Keys of the Kingdom, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven. Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven!'
On the material plane, with every natural comfort and convenience that man can
conceive or demand, I give you the Keys to the Kingdom! and whatsoever thou shalt
loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven! The material things are the outward
expression of a sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain
of what is actually going on in the hearts and minds and in the spirit and in
the lives of the children of men, but the material things are demonstrated as
an abstract expression, convincing to the conscious mentality of humanity. Therefore,
they marvel at these things and say, "How can these things be?" But
a good many of My following have said, from years back, when they would question
such, "Where does HE get so much money from?" they would say, "Where
does HE get so much love from?" (Loud applause and cheers resound from the
adoring congregation.) "Have you ever seen such love? ever seen anything
like this, or like that of His," as it may be termed, "that can bring
about desired results and cause all mankind to love Him?" Aren't you glad?" ("Oh,
yes, GOD Almighty! So glad!" came the happy response.) I even heard the
Attorney's wife say, since she has been here, she had been a lover of Mine! It
goes to show that it is nothing mortal about it; it is supernatural, it is incorruptible,
it is undefiled! ("So true!" exclaimed the Assembly.) Therefore, "where
does he get so much love from?"
'GOD so loved the world that HE gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have Everlasting Life!'
This love can unlock every barred and shut door; it can and it will, as it does,
supply you and supply more and more and more! It's unbelievable but yet it's
true! ("So true, Lord!" sanctioned the entire congregation.)
So it is a privilege to live in such a recognition and to build upon such a foundation as this one, for I AM giving the Keys to each and every person! You may have it if you wish to. Just live the life and keep the faith and be born into this recognition of GOD'S Actual Presence, with or without My Person. It will work for you just as effectively as it did in the beginning of the creation when GOD as Spirit and Spirit alone moved out upon the face of the waters and began that one eternal creation of all creations! GOD was there but was not seen. GOD was operative and expressive, according to the historians. They record the record as though GOD said,
'Let there be light and there was light!'
They may not have thought at that time, if they could have thought, that we would
have electricity universally as we have it today. But the light of the creation
of the world, the Light of all lights and the creation of all creations and of
all inventions came forth by that great creator because of HIS Presence! God's
presence will work automatically for you! (Loud applause rings out.) >
I AM sure a good many of you have heard, especially in the Christian Churches, where some have said, some, a good many have said;
'HE gave me a little stone with a new name written in it, and none could read that stone (or none could read it) but those who receive it!'
I AM here to say that this is operative and expressive for every individual.
I AM making people universally healthy, happy, successful and prosperous! Wheresoever
they are conscious of My Ever Presence, I AM Present there in Austria! (FATHER
turns the pages of The New Day before Him to the pictures of the different places
overseas, as HE continues speaking.) Parts of Germany, even under the Russian
Zone. This is Austria. (FATHER shows the picture to the Assembly, as HE says:)
Old Glory is flying there as well as here! and they are successful and prosperous
in those war-stricken and war-torn zones because they are conscious of My Presence
and they are fanatical enough to believe it! (FATHER stretched forth His beautiful
Arms as HE exclaims this, and the vibrations of the Holy Spirit permeates the
atmosphere with the ecstasy of joy divine. FATHER continues:) You see the mystery?
("Yes, GOD Almighty!" exclaims the adoring Congregation. FATHER turns
to another picture as HE says:) Here in England you find that I AM operative
and expressive without My Person and My Personages of America! Can you not see
the mystery? ("Yes Lord!"
came the response.) GOD is operative and expressive universally, wheresoever
HE is reckoned and considered; and when they are conscious of GOD'S Presence,
GOD Works just as effectively as HE did in the beginning of the Creation when
HE moved out upon the face of the waters and began that one eternal creation
of all creations! Aren't you glad? ("So glad, Lord!" came the happy
reply. FATHER indicates another picture as HE continues speaking.)
Here in England, as afore said Ruskin House, England--Old Glory is flying there just as here! I have not gone there personally! have no anticipation of going but I am here and I am there and I am everywhere where I am not personally! but if I can get this over to the inhabitants of these places to be conscious of GOD'S Presence, even without a person that consciousness is the mystery that will solve the problem!
You may take ME with you in your business, profession, labor and trade, and GOD to you will no longer be a supposition; no longer a vision and no longer a dream; but GOD to you will be as real as YOU are to other men! That's the mystery! (Loud applause ensues.)
In all of the worn-torn countries where they are or have been in lacks, wants and limitations since I have put this over to them and given them the Key that Jesus gave to Simon that Key solves their problems, for it is the Source of All Supply and It Will, as it does, Satisfy Every Good Desire!
(FATHER turns the pages of The New Day to another picture, as HE says:)
You find ME in Central America, but not in Person. You find My Picture and MOTHER'S Picture there, and you will find, in those places, seats set apart for Us and dedicated and consecrated for Us at the head of their tables; not being there in Person but I AM there in SPIRIT! Therefore, I AM just as operative and just as expressive in those places as I AM right here Personally! (Loud applause rings out and FATHER turns to another picture as HE says:)
You find ME in Switzerland, but NOT in Person! We have visitors here from Switzerland. We had some twelve different nations at the meeting last evening, coming from far and near, because GOD is Present everywhere! Therefore, in the war-torn countries GOD is just as operative and as expressive! I thank you!
(As FATHER turns to leave the table, HE says:)
Look over the pages of The New Day and look at the pictorial description of these places and see where GOD is operative and as expressive! I thank you!
