FATHER proves very significantly in this Message, that the only way the world can be redeemed from unrighteousness, is by the one and only propitiation offered to the world by CHRIST our LORD, through the Sample and the Example of the Sonship Degree of expression. Unless a man denies himself, by putting off mortality, and by taking upon himself the Cross of CHRIST, through which cometh forth the New Birth, he can in no wise enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In this Message FATHER clearly depicts the Temptations of Jesus, showing conclusively that there is no escape from the opportunity of these temptations. But as Jesus yielded not to the tempter, He constantly gained the Victory, and by so doing was mentally and spiritually and physically strengthened and more fortified to win the next conflict which would confront Him, until He got the mastery completely over the tempter. This particular Message should give stamina and courage to the Followers of CHRIST in their pursuit of Happiness and Heaven.
FATHER, our LORD, we thank Thee for this great Message of Truth!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER sweetly sings the transposed version of a song, and speaks as follows:)
'Oh, be ye transformed, thus says your LORD and KING,
Oh, be ye transformed, thus says your LORD and KING,
Oh, be ye transformed, thus says your LORD and KING,
Oh, be ye transformed, by the renewing of your mind.'
PEACE EVERYONE! ("Peace, FATHER Dear!" responded the happy assembly.) That little transposed version through which I inserted in that little song for the consideration and for the concentration of your mind, that you might concentrate and also consider the significance and concentrate on the thought of being transformed by the renewing of your mind.
In these high vibrations of the Spirit, if you are not transformed by the renewing of your mind, the Spirit in you will cause your body and your mind to be destroyed. It is Wonderful! "Oh, be ye transformed, by the renewing of your mind"; by putting off the old mind which is called in the Scripture, "the old man", with all of his ideas and opinions, with all of his nature, his characteristics and all of his disposition; which is to say, put off the old man with all of his deeds and put on the New Man, CHRIST JESUS.
This little thought is well worth considering, for in the high vibrations of the Truth, when CHRIST is resurrected, He will resurrect you and will resurrect your characteristics too. Your nature, your disposition, your ideas and your opinions, when you are resurrected mentally, they are resurrected in you. It is wonderful!
These thoughts are well worth considering. I AM stressing the significance of it, for it is better for you and the whole of humanity to live in the Consciousness of GOD'S Presence by being transformed by the renewing of your mind, than to live in the old and the outer, and bring yourselves into subjection to destruction.
Oh, it is a privilege to be here where the Materializing of GOD can and will light up your pathway, also light up your conscious mentality that you might understand how to think and act consciously as well as subconsciously. By so doing you are transformed by the renewing of your mind. You become to be new creatures and as new creatures you are partakers of the Nature and the Characteristics of the Almighty; hence you are in harmony with your Maker by living thus accordingly. It is Wonderful!
I cannot stress these points too vividly for the redemption of the people. While there are millions still hanging on the Fundamental, if they do not live thus accordingly, according to the Teaching of the Fundamental, they all will be failures, and their work will be in vain.
Oh, it is such a privilege to know you can and will, if you will to, live in the Consciousness of GOD'S Presence where you can be subject to the Nature of GOD! GOD'S Nature, GOD'S Characteristics, GOD'S Mind and GOD'S Spirit and GOD'S Love, you will be partakers of. When this is accomplished, you will be lifted above that of your fore-ancestors; you will no longer live in the nature and disposition of them, neither will you be subject to their infirmities, better known in the Bible as their "iniquities", by which you have heretofore been visited.
You have been visited by the iniquities of your fathers, of your grandfathers and your grandmothers, by their iniquities, their infirmities, their weaknesses. You have been visited by those tendencies, hence you have not had the victory over temptation. You have not had the victory over your old make-up, your old disposition. Many times you have been deprived of the limitless Blessings GOD has in Storehouse for His Children by living in your old ancestors' characteristics, their nature, their disposition -- they are barring you from the Kingdom of Heaven. That is why it is written:
'Except a man be born again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.'
You must be born out of that adamic state of consciousness, and become to be
new creatures completely by the renewing of your mind, by putting off the old
mind and putting on the New Mind, CHRIST JESUS. Starve out that old mind, purge
him out and let him go. If you do not, it is woe to you. That old mind, I say,
will destroy you, because it is destructive by nature. Even before you were conceived,
that old mind that was in your ancestors, it was destructive one against the
other. When you were conceived in your mother's womb, that old germ of destruction
was conceived in you. It is Wonderful!
Put off the old man with all of his deeds, and put on the New Man, the New Mind, which is CHRIST indeed. That is the mystery of Jesus, being the CHRIST in reality -- it was by the CHRIST rising in Him to fruition, by Him throwing off the mortal version, His human tendencies, fancies and pleasures, by becoming to be a new creature manifestly. It is Wonderful! He manifested the new creature by going in His own Temple, in the CHRIST Consciousness, and driving out all of those speculating and detestable characteristics that came through His fore-ancestors; that came through His nationality, humanly speaking; no longer believing in, and living in the consciousness of a nation or a race or a people, but recognizing GOD as His FATHER, knowing He had no other, this was the mystery through which He got the victory over His old nature by inheritance. You too, will have the victory over your nature, your characteristics by inheritance if you will allow the CHRIST to rise in you, and throw off those old detestable characteristics, those tendencies and fancies and pleasures that you had been subject to by nature.
Who is your mother? Who is your father? Who are your brothers and who are your sisters? If you believe in some individuals living in mortal consciousness to be your mother, your father, your sisters and your brothers, you will be subjected to their nature, to their disposition, to their characteristics and will be imposed upon you scientifically and psychologically, until you will be forced to do and act as they did. You make the contact by allowing yourselves to be attached to them mentally. When you are attached to them mentally, their iniquities and infirmities can find you.
Their infirmities can and will come through the relationship by which you are connected with them mentally. It is transmittable. Your mental relationship by your mental concept with your conscious consideration will cause the transmission of their nature to permeate your physical being, and cause it to be transmitted to you firstly through your mind, by being mentally connected with them.
This is the great transforming process: "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." Put off the old man, I say, the old mind with all of its deeds, for if you do not, he will put you off. I cannot stress it too vividly. I AM stressing it for the good of all of the people collectively; not only collectively but universally, for as it is here collectively expressed, so shall it be throughout the universe.
We shall express the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose. We shall live it among the people and we shall express love one for the other. We shall refuse to allow ourselves to be attached to the flesh mortally, but we shall attach ourselves to the Spirit mentally and spiritually, that we might live according to the Teaching of CHRIST your Savior.
Your mother, your father, your brothers and your sisters are they who do the Will of your FATHER. They who are united by the Spirit by nature, and mind of your mind by your character, they are your sisters, and they are your brothers. This is the mystery that you can gather in by coming in this Light of Understanding. It is not necessary to come here personally, especially, if you will merely relax your conscious mentality and dial in on the Fundamental; concentrate on the Life and the Teaching of CHRIST in the Person called Jesus. His Thoughts and His Mind to you will be transmitted, for they will come through your mentality and will inspire you by intuition as being termed "inspiration". They will teach you all of the wisdom that is necessary, if you can do it, and if you will do it. I know you can do it, but the average person will no do it. They must needs apparently to come to some assembly to get in and under the influence of the atmosphere in which I AM Personally living. It is not necessary especially, but make your mental and Spiritual contact; be willing to sacrifice your body for your version by living accordingly; the transmission of the Spirit will be unto you, and you will have the Message wheresoever you are.
The radio broadcasting system is a slight sketch and a reflection and a percent of a fraction of a grain of the mystery of what I AM doing. Wheresoever you are you can dial in on that message that has been broadcast. If you have your radio receiving set with all of the equipments fully set up and adjusted properly, the very spirit through the ether will go forth -- will carry the message; not only by the spirit of it as being called electricity, but it will carry it in the sound of your voices, in music and in song. It will carry it even in the vibration through which you are speaking. When My Voice is heard that cometh through the ether, at times it will shake the room. Why? It is because it comes forth with such a power. It is wonderful! It comes forth with double force, of power, the power of the mental and Spiritual skillful electricity, and the power of the natural or nature's electricity that has been invented.
When the electrons of electricity have been quickened in an individual, when that person speaketh spontaneously, the earth will shake or quake. Why? Because it is GOD speaking from the angle of humanity as HE is the electrons of electricity that are in each and all of the people. When this is quickened in you as an individual, this is bringing you towards your redemption, bringing you towards perfection. It is to bring about a better understanding. It will quicken your physical body, but it will quicken your mentality better. Just to be quickened in your physical body is not sufficient. Your physical body is the outward expression of the mental and Spiritual conception; hence, it is essential for you to allow your mentality to be quickened especially, rather than merely to seek the emotions, to be quickened physically and not mentally and Spiritually.
There is therefore now no condemnation in the quickening of your physical body, but see that your mentality and your Spirituality are quickened as well as your physical body. If you express emotions through the vibrations of the Spirit by your quickened electrons of electricity that are within you, you should express it more scientifically and more intelligently mentally, than the person who has not been quickened physically or quickened Spiritually. The Spirit is not to cause you to be ignorant, but to the contrary, to the extreme opposite, you should be superintelligent.
You can see the super intelligence of the Infinite reflected wheresoever the Spirit of the electrons of electricity is quickened in the hearts and minds of individuals; but where there is merely a quickening in the physical system, and the individuals are living in mortal consciousness, they are at times antagonistic and will cause themselves to act ridiculous and ignorant. It is wonderful!
I came to quicken your mentality and to inspire you with the Spirit of GOD'S Omniscience, that your ignorance might be changed into intelligence and your weakness might be changed into Omnipotence; that is what I came for, and that is what I will do, if you will allow ME to. I AM Omnipotent! I AM Omniscient! It is Wonderful! Your mentality can be quickened with the Omniscience of My Presence. It is Wonderful! Truly might I have said through the mouth of Solomon:
'In all of your getting, get understanding.'
The great Awakening and the Resurrection of Life has come forth into expression;
but remember, I AM not merely awakening ignorance, but I AM awakening the subconscious
intelligence that has been lying dormant within you. That is the mystery of My
Presence and that is the mystery of GOD'S Omniscience, commonly known as "Divine
Intelligence".
Jot these thoughts down in your vocabularies. Dial in on the Spirit of GOD'S Wisdom, and you will be supplied with all that is necessary and you will be qualified to meet the issues and naught will be able to hinder you. Then I say, if there be mortal ideas and opinions, prejudice, jealousy and human fancies and pleasures within you, fast them out, starve them out for your own redemption, and for the Glory of GOD in others.
Your human jealousy and tendencies and pleasures, they are destructive to you. You may think they are opposing others, but they are opposing you. Your very human tendency of jealousy, your very human tendency of fear, of doubt and human affection, all of those detestable characteristics, they are destructive to you. You think they are in opposition to the other person, but they are telling you they are in opposition to you; they are opposing you, and they will destroy you the same as they would desire to destroy the other person.
These thoughts are well worth considering. I have often stressed the mystery of the enemy, the spirit of destruction expressed in mortal consciousness, as being called by the Religions, the "d-v-l". When it was in the body called Ruth Snyder a few years ago, and in Judd Gray, that murderous spirit thought it was killing the man, but it did not kill only the one, it killed the three at one time. It is Wonderful!
Take these thoughts to consideration! When a spirit rises in you in opposition, remember that spirit is opposing everything in the likeness of you. You may think it is for you, but it is your enemy. It will destroy the other person through you, after which it will destroy you in a worse and in a more destructive and in a more disgraceful and in a more degraded way than it destroyed the other person, through you.
Pardon ME for taking up so much of your time. I did not consider saying so much this afternoon. I firstly considered sitting quietly and listening, but as I moved Myself considering the significance of conveying the Message and conveying the thought of starving out -- perishing out those tendencies of prejudice, of jealousy and of human fancies, their tendencies and all of their pleasure that will oppose others and you will think they are not noticing you, as you are the registerer; but you are contagionized with their poison firstly.
Jot these thoughts down in your vocabularies. Keep them for consideration. Read them at your leisure, and believe sincerely in the Message. Concentrate on the Infinite and the transmission of His Spirit will react and tell you,
'When HE, the Spirit of Truth has come, It will teach you all things whatsoever I have said to you.'
Jesus, the great Love-Master, said on one occasion, "Such kind cometh out
only by fasting and prayer." You can only get those pre-inherited tendencies
out of your system by fasting those d-v-ls out completely; by refusing to allow
them to feed on your mentality and by refusing to allow them to act by nature
through you, by being persistent in your ambition as Jesus was when He was tempted.
That was the nature of the mind expressing from the mortal version, telling Jesus: "Command
these stones to be made bread." That was not an external d-v-l, as man supposed,
but it was the internal expression of the mortal version coming from the human
mind by nature, that came through the flesh, the body through which He came.
That mind was speaking in Him:
'If Thou be the Son of GOD, command these stones to be made bread.'
Jesus fasted that mind out of His conception, and would not allow it to register.
He won the victory over that temptation -- over that tendency to command the
stones to be made bread, that He might be seen and heard of by men; that they
might understand that He was the Son of GOD. He fasted from that thought, from
that mind, from that idea and from that opinion. These came in another expression,
and led Him upon the pinnacle of the temple. That was an expression of that identical
mind, but not by name or expression of eating, but by the name of honor, of exaltation
and of fame, etc. "No man has stood upon the temple and cast himself down,
lest he would dash his foot against a stone; therefore, I will take You up there," said
that mortal mind, "and I will let You see, and let others know You are the
Son of GOD."
"I will let You see and know," said that mind, that You are the Son of GOD, by casting Yourself down and the fall can do You no harm." It is Wonderful! The mortal mind has taught you from the earliest existence of Christendom, that there was a d-v-l externally. It is Wonderful! They called themselves intelligent, and they stressed "the d-v-l" as a person. It is Wonderful! If the d-v-l can be personified, why is it they could not realize that the d-v-l must be crucified or must die even as the CHRIST was crucified? It is Wonderful!
If the d-v-l was confined or bound to a person in the likeness of the versions of the Religions, it would be a matter of impossibility for that d-v-l to still be living. No doubt, I would have killed him MYSELF. It is Wonderful! But as that tempter was a spirit transmittable, reincarnatable and reproducible and re personifiable, it also rose in Jesus in the expression to be lifted up in the high light of understanding politically to give Him the understanding that He could be the international king. That is what it said to Him. "If You do these things according to the political versions of our present light of civilization You can and will be the international king." That is what it was saying to Him; but He went ahead, knowing Himself, and therefore He threw off the versions of the flesh that were telling Him He could be an international king. He knew He was the King over all of the earth and the Heaven. He knew that that mind could not make Him anything. It could not do a thing for Him.
So it is today. I say, I know that the political world can do nothing for ME. They can do nothing for ME, and they can do nothing to ME; for if I do not do something for them, nothing will be done. It is Wonderful!
No one need tell ME, "I can make YOU an international king," (It is wonderful) much more than that of saying, "I will make YOU the leader of all people." It is Wonderful!
Take these thoughts to consideration. GOD is Supreme and without the help of man. GOD is ALL there is, and without Him they shall not do a thing. Talking about, "I will make You some international king." What is that? This little planet on which we are living is one of the smallest planets. It is Wonderful! This little planet cannot be seen by those who are on other planets, for this little planet is too small to be seen. It is Wonderful!
I think I had better stop; for in these vibrations, I AM catching you up. You are mentally and Spiritually losing contact with the earth. You are beginning to realize, the insignificance of the earth is not to be considered with the Omnipotence and the Infiniteness of your GOD. In space, that which is called by men "the sky", there are planets from the size of seven hundred and eighty million miles in circumference, down to small shooting stars. The great star that is two hundred and sixty million miles in diameter, is so far away in space, in that which is called "the heaven" or "the sky", that if the center of that planet would and could come even with the sun, the other part coming down towards the earth, if it could go through and pass by, it would be about sixty million miles below the earth, and still all the way up to the sun and just that far above the sun.
I mentioned these thoughts to convey the mystery of your mind leaving this little planet as it has been. Consider the Infiniteness of GOD! If GOD is Infinite, this planet is insignificant.
Oh, it is such a privilege to understand the mystery of GOD'S Presence; how His Presence can bring wisdom, knowledge and understanding and cause you to rise in the high vibrations of Truth and lose all contact with the earth. Truly might have one said,
'From sinking sand HE lifted me,
With Tender Hands HE lifted me,
From shades of night to planes of Light,
Oh, praise His Name, HE lifted me.'
These are truths although by inspiration they were given; the individuals did
not know the significance of them. They came forth by inspiration, many revelations,
many mysteries revealed to the children of this people. They did not understand
the mystery, for they came forth spontaneously, revealing the mystery of GOD'S
Presence to some degree. According to their version they would speak it, but
the mystery was deeper than they could see it.
Oh, it is such a privilege! But for you as individuals, as I said in the beginning, it is essential for you to starve those tendencies out of your system. Perish them out of your mentality completely, for if they are quickened in you, they will be destructive. They may try to be destructive to others, but they are more destructive to you. GOD'S Wisdom, GOD'S Knowledge and GOD'S Understanding will not destroy you. GOD'S Love and GOD'S Mercy and GOD'S Spirit and GOD'S Presence, they are not destructive, but they are helpful. They will protect you. They will lead you and they will guide you and they will help you from every angle if you will let them.
Oh, it is such a privilege to be living in the Presence of GOD where the Spirit of GOD'S Presence will inspire you with all Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding, will feed your mentality with the food that is necessary; will feed your body with the food that will sustain it; it will give you health and vigor and courage; it will give you understanding, that you will not be disturbed, neither will you work inharmoniously to the Fundamental by conflicting the Spirit through you preconceived ideas and opinions!
Oh, it is such privilege! Let us live in this recognition, and you will be continually in Heaven; not only today, but once and forever, for the Kingdom has truly come, and the Will is now being done. All you must needs do is to sincerely believe it, live it and be thus accordingly to this Truth, and lo, the Kingdom will be unto you in and at all times. I thank you.
