MOTHER DIVINE
Salvation and healing which cannot be bought are contained in this priceless Message from the lips of the Savior of mankind, FATHER DIVINE. So clear is His explanation of FAITH and its great significance in the acquiring of whatever may be desired, that even the most ignorant or illiterate can readily grasp the understanding and apply it to his or her own problems; and those who have spent the greater portion of their lives in study and concentration, seeking, acquiring and still falling short of their aims, with this little simple KEY given by the Master Locksmith, can attain their fondest desires.
Omnipotent One, we thank THEE!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and FATHER'S Message follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! At this particular instance I have arisen to say, while it is not anyone singing or talking, it is good to be here. While we are happy together, stop and consider what brings about this happiness. If you desire to be happy and remain happy, you must stay in Harmony with the CREATOR of all happiness. If you are inharmonious from any angle of expression and are by any means disagreeable with the version, with the ideas, with the opinions; it is a matter of impossibility for you to remain super happy, successful and prosperous, for your happiness comes through harmony.
I mention this because at times there are those who look on the outward appearance. They think things and say things they do not know anything about. At times they try to judge the JUDGE of all creation and try and actually attempt in every way to bring about railing accusation against the Truth, the Foundation of your Salvation; and yet think they can continue to be successful, prosperous and happy. It is a matter of impossibility! You will be a failure!
Truly might have one said:
'Man looks on the outer appearance but GOD looks on the heart.'
At times you can see individuals and you may say within yourself, this person
or that person should do this or should do that. Who knows the Mind of GOD and
who knows the circumstances and what it is all about? Therefore, it is well worth
considering and you should stop and consider before you form your conclusion;
for your conclusions may be erroneous and they may lead you into disaster by
leading you erroneously into the way of destruction.
But oh, how glorious it is just to believe! You notice those who are not conscious of the TRUTH, when they contact ME effectively by just believing ignorantly but sincerely, they are healed immediately. The most of the people who have been healed, they were healed by not knowing definitely, scientifically and intellectually but by believing with the spirit of sincerity, as in the experience of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment -- her FAITH made her whole, not by what she knew or by what you know! Her FAITH made her whole!
'Faith is the substance of the thing you hope for; it is the evidence of things not seen.'
Nearly everyone of you who have been healed, you were healed on simplicit FAITH
and have been blessed by such a method; by believing in GOD and not knowing definitely.
It is a wonderful thought!
But when you think you know, your knowledge puffs you up and hinders and prevents you from having the FAITH you should have; because you know! You think you know! But if you do not know, FAITH and simplicit FAITH undiluted -- just as a little child having simplicit Faith in the parent, believing just whatsoever the parent may say and relying on it simplicitly and sincerely; their desires are heard and answered because they do not know. But when they learn to know so much, they do not usually get so much. Can you not see the mystery?
A good many of you, when you were little children you would get blessings, as being termed form "Santa Claus". You used to get such things as those called from "Santa Claus" around Christmas time. But when you learned more and knew definitely, you did not get the presents. So it is a blessing not to know so much at times; if you want to get something it is best not to know, just believe and think and be ignorant. Aren't you glad? Because there are thousands of people who have been actually healed physically, mentally and spiritually and blessed from every angle expressible by faith without knowing.
But after you have been blessed and healed and have enjoyed the blessings, and then learn something and think you know so much, the blessings cease to come. You get sick and you cannot get healed. So many of them going to the hospitals and doctors and the like, since they have known ME Personally! They did not do it when they first met ME, but after they knew ME Personally they got sick again, because they went back in sin and they could not get healed because they did not have FAITH to believe!
Truly might have one said by composition:
'Where is the blessedness I knew when first I saw the LORD?
Where is that soul so fresh in view of Jesus and His Love?'
It is a true saying. It is a shame to be sick for it is a sin to be sick -- in
other words, it is sin that caused you to be sick; and where there is sin there
is shame, and where there is shame there is sin. >
Therefore, I say, you get in those conditions after you have known ME, have been healed for many years, blessed and saved from all undesirable conditions; first thing you know you get in those conditions again and you wonder why you do not get healed. It is because you do not have the FAITH and BELIEVE! You do not sincerely BELIEVE as you did before you thought you knew; but since you think you know so much, you do not have the FAITH you ought to have.
Better not know so much! Better not think you know so much! You better stay in that place in consciousness where you can use FAITH, for FAITH is not for the one who knows!
'Faith is the substance of things to hope for; it is the evidence of things not seen.'
If you know definitely and see definitely, how can you have FAITH? Take these
thoughts to consideration. Your FAITH must go into INFINITUDE and transcend what
you actually know. Have FAITH and Believe and substantiate yourself in such FAITH
and Belief as to reach out in the things you do not see and know, and know definitely,
things are possible for you where there is no human possibility. Can you not
see the mystery?
But so long as you can see things and you think those things can be accomplished by the human possibilities, by the human ability and understanding, and you rely on human possibilities and human ability, human skill and understanding, you are not having Faith in GOD unadulterated! That is what is the matter! You are seeking to learn so much as you may think at times, in order to accomplish great things; and you learn, as it may be termed, but your FAITH does not go out into the invisible and transcend the knowledge and the understanding and have FAITH implicitly and sincerely without the knowledge of anything concerning the thing you are seeking.
Knowing you can accomplish certain things by the human possibility, by the human intellect and human understanding; knowing you can do certain things by that which is possible according to the mortal version; it is a matter of impossibility for you to have FAITH unadulterated when you are relying on the skill and the ability and the knowledge and the understanding of mortality. Therefore, such set as a prohibition, as a barrier and as a ban to prohibit you from accomplishing your endeavors, when you acquire much knowledge and understanding without FAITH! -- acquire understanding how you can be healed, how you can accomplish things, how you can be successful, how you can be prosperous, how you can be healthy and how you can be wealthy, how you can do all of these great things you desire to do and be, all of the things you desire to be; learning by skillful ability and by study, by information given to you from others -- you are going in the way whereby your FAITH will be lost and you will be relying on the physical, intellectual and mortal ability transmitted from others to you that you might rely on something other than the ALMIGHTY.
That is the reason those who are successful, those who have been healed supernaturally, those who have received blessings beyond the comprehension of the human understanding, received such blessings. It was because they did not have the understanding. They did not have the knowledge. They did not rely on mortality! They did not rely on the human ability or skill or understanding from others; therefore, GOD by FAITH responded to their request and their prayers were heard and answered.
It is evidently known this is not humanly possible. It has been declared over and over again by the Spirit of My Presence, such as you are daily enjoying and such as you are observing would be absolutely humanly impossible, and it is humanly impossible, because it is not by skillful ability; it is not by chicaneriness; it is not by mortal, human understanding; it is not by thrift; it is not by deceiving; it is not by any mortal method of man that would accomplish things in their minds and in their consideration; for this transcends all that man can imagine!
Hence, they could not and cannot and will not and shall not accomplish these things that we are now doing, saving by the selfsame FAITH and method that I AM using for the common good of humanity. It is not by wisdom, knowledge, nor by understanding. It is not by skillful or intellectual or professional ability. It is not by your legal nor political ability. All of the abilities of man from that angle of expression have tried to accomplish the things we are accomplishing and have been failures and gone down in defeat through the ages even until now. Aren't you glad?
As GOD makes a way where there is no way and is the Accomplisher of things where there is not a human possibility in evidence, GOD has accomplished and still is accomplishing the things you all see and hear and know today. Aren't you glad? You know there is a great mass of true believers and you know they are gathered together here this morning, but you do not know how to keep people together! With all of your skillful, intellectual, political, social and professional ability, you cannot have the victory to accomplish what you may endeavor because it is not given to you. So it is a wonderful thought!
When everything else has failed you, when you rely on something unbelievable, unseen and unknown; your prayers and your desires will be heard and answered and you will accomplish that which you have endeavored and failed in because knowledge and understanding could not accomplish it.
Truly might I have said by quotation:
'It is not by power nor by might, but by My SPIRIT.'
I have long since declared and I re-declare the same: MY SPIRIT WILL DO IT, as
it has been doing it. But at times you may surmise many things, and with your
human, mortal ideas and opinions, think you can rule and control and govern the
Kingdom of Heaven; think you are the one to rule and super-rule all creation,
and you as a person or persons being some little abstract expression of some
mortal versionated concept of GOD'S creation, and it being merely a slight sketch
of a percent of a fraction of a grain of the reflection of the TRUTH concerning
the mystery concerning you.
GOD is GOD! These thoughts are well worth considering. Who knows the Mind of GOD? Hence, I say, for your sake and for your information, for your help and for your protection it is essential to harmonize with the fundamental. Harmonize with the truth and the Creator of the truth, and the truth might be your protection. Then you can say and can sing with ME and with others who are truthful:
'Righteousness, Justice and Truth, FATHER is calling for you.'
