MOTHER and FATHER DIVINE
PEACE EVERYONE: Here we all are again. There I sit and here you stand, in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose as much as you can. While sitting, listening to the testimony a little ago, of the speaker down the table, I thought how marvelous it is to realize the Allness of GOD and the nothingness of matter.
Jesus in the Sonship Degree said, "I can of Myself do nothing." Realizing the repetition of history and the reiteration of the Life in Jesus I put forth into expression for the consideration of the people, I do not mean to say that it is not possible that this can be done, but
'It is not by power, nor by might, but by My Spirit says the LORD.'
It is not the greatness nor the personality of individuals nor individuality,
for all of these expressions of humanity are but sketches and reflections as
types and shadows and figures of the reality.
For this cause, when one speaks as was mentioned in the illustration, the littleness, in other words, the smallness of men in the Presence of GOD, it does not mean by physical sight nor by physical Personnel as to what you can see of Him, for It Is the most insignificant of all the earth, the Personnel or Physical Appearance as it appears to be; but to realize GOD in Mercy and Compassion, came as the most simplest expression of creation, hid in the veil; and in that which is deemed the Atom, that Atom that can be hardly seen, lies the significance of the mystery of GOD'S actual Presence; and when it is unfolded, those who observe it will observe not merely the outward expression. That is the thought to be considered in the midst of the children of men as far as I AM concerned. You may look for the least and the most insignificant among them, for truly I did say,
'It is not by power nor by might, but by My Spirit, says the Lord!'
For this cause, before I Came as a Person, I extremiated Myself in the sight
of the children of men and in all of the worlds through which they came -- in
the political world, in the financial world, in the intellectual world, in the
physical world and in every world through which man came, through the present,
past and even going on to the future civilization; extremiated Myself by working
cancellation on Myself as a Person to its lowest terms, so that personality and
individuality might not be in consideration, so that they might know and learn
and understand more of the Significance of HIM Who liveth forever and forever!
Do not expect to hear ME speak as a Person, as a great Orator, neither as a great Speaker, neither as one having scholastic training or anything of that sort, for I extremiated Myself before you came, to the lowest terms by cancellation! Aren't you glad? But by the Grace of GOD, Whom you say I AM, truly, I AM that I AM! But not by sight nor by might, nor by the skillful ability of mortality, neither by the intellectual ability, as I afore said, neither by the scholastic training of men -- coming down from different schools or seminaries' or universities' training; for those things are insignificant in the Sight of HIM Who liveth forever!
There is no comparison on the earth plane when you stop and consider! Who can compare with ME? For I speak not after the manner of men from a Personal point of view, though I may use the personal pronoun at times among you; but nevertheless, it is impersonal by Nature, as it is creative and Infinite by creation! Therefore, do not look to see anything great of ME as a Person in the midst of the children of men. The great noblemen, the great dignitaries and the great philosophers and the great practitioners and the great doctors galore and representatives of society, do not look to see anything of ME in comparison with them, for it is no comparison whatsoever!
I Came extremiated and I did not come by the way of the systems of men and I AM not going by that way of them! Therefore, you may know if I AM a failure and if I make a flop of everything, you may know it is just done, because that is the way I Came! I do not have anything to depend on but MY Spirit! That is the mystery!
So, take cognizance of it and do not look for anything out of ME or from ME as a Person; for truly did one say,
'Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?'
Can any good thing come out of that which is deemed to be illiterate? Can any
good thing come out of the ignorant, as far as they are concerned? But GOD Teaches
Wisdom to the children of men where they think they have all knowledge and all
understanding!
Nevertheless, I AM Here! Is it not written in your gospel epistle of the apostle,
'Hath not GOD chosen the dumb things of this world to confound the wise?
And the things that are not, to bring to nought the things that are?'
GOD'S Spirit as the Creator and as the Mover, as HE moved out upon the face of
the deep in the beginning of the creation, as being termed the water, and said,
'Let there be Light!'
GOD as Spirit and Spirit alone, because at that time it was said that HE did
not have Flesh, Body and Bones, but as Spirit and Spirit alone; it was deemed
the Spirit of the LORD, but it was GOD!
For this cause I retrace your thoughts back to the beginning of the creation, to let you see and realize, it was not by power! It was not be might, but by MY Spirit, says the LORD! That is the mystery of all mysteries, for it is creative in itself because it is the Creator! Aren't you glad?
Therefore, do not look to see anything as to MY Personal appearing, for insignificantly I Came and insignificantly AM I Going, for the very Spirit of MY Work and Mission among the children of men may be most insignificant among them as a Person, but it is a privilege to live in such a recognition of GOD'S Actual Presence, realizing GOD insignificantly discerned is Supernatural and is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent can and will solve every problem and will adjust matters satisfactorily for you!
By this, we shall have a Righteous Judgment! By having a Righteous Judgment, we shall have a Righteous Government, for truly did I say in the prophecy of old,
'HE judges not with sight, nor with hearing, but with a Righteous Judgment!'
GOD is judging the people with Equity and will not judge them with sight nor
with hearing, for your sight and your hearing can only go a few miles! I could
have said, a few feet! At times you may have your radio on in your room and you
may step in the other room and you may not even hear you radio because your hearing
can only go a few feet, as so to speak; and you may go in a certain direction
and you cannot see someone; they have gone out of sight, out of your physical
sight, for your sight and your hearing are limited, but the Sight and the Hearing
Supernaturally is Infinite! That is the mystery!
So GOD judges not with the mortal concept of men; therefore do not expect to see ME, as a Person, anything, because I AM most insignificant among the children of men as a Person! But remember, when all of you, as the sample and as the example, work cancellation on yourself as persons, on your skillful ability, on your intellectual ability and on your ability from every angle expressible; when you have brought yourself to your destination and completely eradicated yourself in your own and in others' consideration, there and then GOD will have a chance for expression when you shall have come to your destination; for truly did I say,
'Man's extremity is GOD'S Opportunity!'
Therefore, extremiate thou thyself as a person and GOD in you, with you and by
you, will have a chance for expression! I thank you.
