FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE
This glorious, yea, dynamic Sermon, came forth from the LORD of lords and KING of kings directly after the singing of an inspirational patriotic song, and it stresses the magnificent Work being accomplished here on earth in our very midst in the bringing about a Consolidated Unification of the peoples of the earth, even as spoken of and Scripturally recorded in the very beginning of the creation in the Book of Genesis! Yea, this is the budding out of GOD'S Administration on this Earth Plane Universally in this dispensation, and mankind is beginning to recognize and realize this, for it is daily displayed in the actuated words of expression in tangible facts and figures too stout to be denied, as you will see and hear our LORD'S marvelous Words of Spirit and of Life as herein recorded!
Firstly, however, we record for your consideration the song above mentioned, and then our LORD'S wonderful Sermon!
FATHER DIVINE has converted Uncle Sam to carry His Message along,
The Constitution and its Amendments and FATHER DIVINE'S Righteous Government Platform!
Uncle Sam shall go stepping from continent and continent, Evangelizing the world with Unity and Peace;
Every nation shall eventually fall in line; inhuman warfare shall be left behind,
Uncle Sam shall teach the nations their ABC's -- Americanism, Brotherhood and Christianity;
Democracy, Evangelism, the Fatherhood of GOD shall be lived by every nation on earth!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber then FATHER Speaks as
follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! How marvelous it is to dwell together in Unity! By the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose all things are possible to be accomplished among us!
There are many things I would like to say at some date, in the way of conveying the Message of Unity, Brotherhood, Christianity, and of living in Unison -- how you can do all things by the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose and not anything is impossible with those who live in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose. Therefore, you may marvel at the unfoldment of the Mastery over the economic situation, the Mastery over the racial problem, the Mastery over the intellectual problem and the Mastery over all situations. In short, the demonstration of the Master of Omnipotency and the expression of the demonstration and manifestation of the Controller of Humanity's Destiny!
I have stressed the significance of the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose where the children of men universally can and will Unite Together Consolidatedly and be as they were in the beginning of the creation of the world -- for when they were all of One Language and of One Speech and when they were virtually One in Reality, GOD said all things were possible with them and there was not anything that could not be done by them! Aren't you glad! ("So glad!" came the reply.)
It is a privilege and a privilege rare to learn the Mystery and the Significance of Unity! By the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose all of your problems are Solved once and forever, for wheresoever you are United Together in that great Unity of Fellowship and Brotherhood there is the Presence of GOD in evidence in the experience of those who are conscious of His Presence and are United Together as one man at Jerusalem!
How marvelous it is to realize, when you unite even according to the Gospel, it is written,
'Wheresoever two or three are gathered together in My Name touching and agreeing upon the one thing that is needful, there I will be in the midst of them to bless the needy!'
realizing Harmony, Unity and Tranquility, these are the expressions, yea, quality
and qualities of expression that our Country called for by our Constitution!
-- called for that Unity, that Perfect Union -- a more Perfect Union!
I would like to say to My Fellow Citizens, Hearers and Friends, have you ever seen a better Sample and Example of a Perfect Union than this? Uncle Sam called for it by the Constitution of the United States that we might be United Together Consolidated and Substantiated in Faith and have One Aim and have One Purpose! By this we can ward off any and every adverse and undesirable condition because the Presence of GOD is actually with you!
As light dispels darkness, even the Presence of GOD dispels and eradicates all adverse and undesirable conditions from among us! The Presence of GOD will establish your going in the land of the living -- will give you Peace on earth and make earth heaven! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, LORD!" came the joyful response.)
The Wise Men, when they came from the East to worship the Babe of Bethlehem, they heard as though the angels were singing, saying,
'Glory to GOD in the highest and on earth Peace, Good Will toward men!'
We find that the Glory that was to GOD in the Highest has been brought to Earth
to bring about this One Eternal Peace! We use the term, Everlasting Peace but
we shall have Eternal Peace! Aren't you glad! ("So glad!" again came
the joyful reply.) No longer just a Salutation and as an expression of your Humble
Servant's but I will impregnate humanity with the Spirit and the Characteristics
and the Nature of this Peace, until they shall Imbibe it from shore to shore
and from land to land in the Spirit of HIM, yea, HE that was born in Bethlehem!
And it will be no longer just to be considered Merry Christmas once a year but
oh, how glorious it is to realize, by the exemplification of the CHRIST as exemplified,
mankind will eventually realize there is One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal
New Year, for they shall live in a New Day, and that New Day will be that which
is that One Eternal New Year's Day for which you give GOD All the Praise and
Thanks at the remembrance of His Holiness!
No more just to use the document, "We are One Nation, Indivisible," in pledging your allegiance to your Flag, but bringing into our actual lives and business and affairs the Reality of that One Nation, Indivisible -- One Race Indivisible and One Family, Indivisible, Universally! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, GOD Almighty!" responded the assembly.)
I shall not be discouraged and I shall not be disturbed until I shall have it from shore to shore and from land to land just as I have it at My Right and at My Left Hand! No more divisibility of races, creeds and colors! -- no more divisibility of families or lineages! -- no more divisibility of national origins! -- for in the beginning of the creation they were all of One Language and of One Speech! Can you not see the mystery? And as they were all of One Language and of One Speech and as they were all One at that time, GOD declared,
'There is nothing impossible for them to do!'
Can you not see the mystery? ("Yes, LORD!" replied the congregation.)
Read the first Book of Genesis for yourself -- GOD will tell you there Scripturally!
'All things are possible for them that believe!'
And there is nothing impossible for those who are unified together and are One
People in Reality!
That is why the enemy of your soul, the enemy of your nation and the enemy to Democracy, Brotherhood and Christianity, the enemy to True Judaism, yea, the enemy to True Religion from any field of activity -- that enemy would try to rob you out of your rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness by causing you to endorse and represent divisibility instead of taking a stand for the Indivisibility of Humanity in general Universally! For when you are United Together as this Sample and as this Example as you see it exemplified, it is a matter of impossibility for you to be in lacks and wants and limitations, for GOD HIMSELF is With You and is in the making as well as in the creation!
For this reason we do rejoice and we are glad to realize that upon this Foundation if you will stand and unite all over this wide extended plane, there will be no more warfare and no more bloodshed! It will be a matter of impossibility, as you heard ME say in My Message recently, that not any of the powers of the enemy of our souls, can do ME any harm! Emphatically and definitely it is a matter of impossibility for the enemy of these, our souls, and our bodies and our business and our affairs to do us any harm -- for when you are United Together Consolidatedly as I called for all of the Allies to Unite Consolidatedly and Buy Bonds in the time of the war Unlimitedly, the Axis will, I said, surrender unconditionally -- and that is exactly what they did!
On every occasion before the V-J Day, they surrendered in Germany and Italy unconditionally, after which the time came when the Japanese Government, they were obliged to surrender unconditionally because I had made an appeal to Unite Consolidatedly and Buy Bonds Unlimitedly -- all of the Axis will surrender unconditionally! This was a Prediction and yet a Declaration! It was according to the record as given in the Message, where it is written,
'If a King goeth forth to make war with another King with ten thousand, and he finds his opponent has twenty thousand, he will send an ambassage desiring conditions of Peace!'
It is impossible for all of the powers of darkness to stand against you if you
are living in Unison and are united together consolidatedly!
Just think of it! Those who live in the CHRIST Consciousness and under Christendom, they also live in the GOD Consciousness under Judaism, for I did say the Scriptures were given by those of the prophets, the sages and the seers and Judaism handed the Old Bible, the Old Testament, down to Christianity -- and those who live in this Recognition, they will much better understand it!
That is why I say, "Americanism, Christianity, Democracy and Judaism are Synonymous," for when they are United Together Consolidatedly and Substantiated in Faith and are living in Unison, in Perfect Harmony, one with the other,
'All things are possible with them that believe!'
And I shall bring all of these great powers TOGETHER in the Unity of the Spirit,
of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose from the Religious Field of expression and there
shall be One Big Democracy of Humanity Universally -- the Brotherhood of Man
and the realization of the FATHERHOOD of GOD!
(At this point FATHER opens the Holy Bible to the Book of Genesis and reads from the eleventh chapter as follows:)
'And the LORD said, Behold the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do!'
(FATHER then says:) You find this quotation in the eleventh chapter of Genesis and the sixth verse. (FATHER again reads):
'And the LORD said, Behold the people is one, and they have all one language, and this they begin to do, and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do!'
(FATHER says:) Genesis, the eleventh chapter and the sixth verse!
I hope you all will take cognizance of what I have said and what I AM saying and look about yourselves and see the Significance of the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, and realize, when you all are of One Language and of One Speech and when All of the peoples of the earth shall have United Effectively, not anything will be restrained from them to do whatsoever they have imagined to do -- in the very first Book of Genesis!
I hope this will go down on record for your consideration and then the nations of the earth can understand ME better and realize why there is not anything impossible for ME to do! WE ALL SHALL SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE! WE ALL HERE HAVE THE SAME RELIGIOUS TONGUE! Can you not see the mystery? ("Yes, LORD!" came the immediate joyous reply.) We all here have the same Determination and we are United Together where naught can hurt us or harm us, and there is not anything impossible for us to do because we are United Together Consolidatedly and we, the people, are One!
Jesus, the Great Love Master in the Sonship Degree, taught this Oneness when in the seventeenth chapter of St. John Jesus prayed
'that they might be One even as We are One!'
Can you not see the mystery? And that Prayer was very significant because it
was calling for the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose and making
ready for them to enter into, not just a pact after the manner of the nations
but to enter into that AT-ONE-MENT with GOD and with Man and be One and have
One Language and One Speech! All things will be possible to them and not anything
could be restrained from those of the Disciples of Jesus that they had imagined
to do, for they are One Language and of One Speech and the people are One Collectively
and Universally!
We shall have a Righteous Government and I have long since declared it! I have taught you in the way of Wisdom and led you into the right path! I have declared, by you unified together and having One Nation and One Language, One Tongue and One People, all things will be possible with and with those who are in Harmony with you, and not anything can be restrained from you -- whatsoever you have imagined to do!
GOD could not restrain anything from those who had united together -- those who were of One Language and of One Speech -- those who were consolidated and were not by any means separated! Can you not see the mystery? ("Yes, GOD Almighty!" declared the congregation.) Nothing can be restrained from them for they are One People and they are One Language and One Speech! Can you not see the mystery? ("Yes, GOD Almighty!" again declared one and all.)
Then I say, remember, those who harmonize with ME Biblically, Evangelically, Democratically and Brotherly I will give you the Victory over all difficulties -- over all adverse and undesirable conditions! I will not do it by the bullet, neither will I do it by the ballot, for those are as trash in My Consideration! But I will do it BY MY SPIRIT, declared the LORD GOD of Hosts!
It is written,
'It is not by power nor by might by MY SPIRIT, says the LORD GOD of HOSTS!'
MY SPIRIT WILL DO IT! All you must needs do is to contact ME conscientiously
and sincerely, sympathetically and harmoniously, Democratically and Evangelically!
Contact ME in simplicity! I will answer your cries -- your prayers -- which are
your heart's simplest cry. For your prayers are your heart's simplest cry. For
your prayers are your heart's desire! As I tell those who come to ME for Blessings,
who desire to be healed of ailments and complaints of every description, I say, "It
is not necessary to contact ME Personally as I do not do anything Personally
for I AM Impersonal! I do not use material methods neither do I use material
remedies. I do not use or make a physical effort to reach your condition, for
those physical efforts and material remedies and material methods are for the
M.D. physicians. I AM not an M.D. Physician but I AM an Ms. D. I AM a D. D.!
Therefore, contact ME mentally and spiritually conscientiously and sincerely, sympathetically and harmoniously and think on ME; you will get results if you but have the Faith to do it! It is not by the power of your physical body, neither is it the power of your intellectual ability, for all of those things are trash in the Sight of the OMNISCIENT ONE! But if you contact ME from the angle of expression portrayed and depicted and declared to be the Way to contact ME, you will get results! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, LORD!" declared the assembly.)
This is not a supposition, this is a declaration, and that is why I stress it so vividly. I do not even try to reach your condition physically. I AM not an M.D. physician! Let your M.D. physician reach your condition physically but you contact ME mentally and spiritually and I will Lift you from Every Adverse and Undesirable Condition and if he and if you will Let ME, I will help your M.D. physician! That is the mystery! For My Help comes from the Invisible Realm, from the Mental and Spiritual Side -- from the Essence and Substance of GOD HIMSELF, of Whom you have declared I AM! ("Yes, yes, GOD Almighty!" sanctioned the joyous Congregation.)
Again I appeal to the inhabitants of the earth -- not only to those of this Country and of this vicinity -- I say, All of the Inhabitants of the Earth -- if you will but bring an End to Divisibility among you and Unite! Unite! Unite! -- the Bill of Rights will be enacted in your life and you will have a Righteous Government -- a Government that is By the People -- in other words, shall be By the People, For the People and Through the People, that shall not perish from the Earth.
Live in this Recognition and as you unite from time to time, make it your every effort to unite where you have not united before! Where you have been living in families, have been living in races, creeds and colors, bring an Absolute Abolition of such Abominations, for such spell Division, Misery, Disappointment and Failure! But by the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, all things are possible with you!
I need not say more at this instance, for I have really said more than I thought to say in the beginning, for as I AM Impersonal and I have appealed to the public and the world at large to transcend all personalities, transcend all individualities, do not think a person's personality, neither an individual's individuality can save the nation! Personalities cannot save them, matters not how beautiful you may be! -- matters not how broad-shouldered and how tall you may be! -- matters not what long sacred whiskers you may wear! -- your personalities and individualities cannot save the people -- for,
'It is not by power nor by might but by My Spirit, declares the LORD GOD of Hosts!'
MY Spirit will do it!
I have caused you to look upon that of My little insignificant Personality -- to transcend that of My little insignificant Individuality -- for it is Something BIGGER, BETTER and GREATER than ALL imaginable personalities and individualities! -- even going into INFINITUDE, in the Un-individuality and in the Impersonality, and transcending the IMPERSONALITY and the UN-INDIVIDUALITY of the INDIVIDUALS! -- reveling into the GLORIOUS LIBERTY of GOD HIMSELF, which was, as is, "WITHOUT THE BEGINNING of DAYS, and WITHOUT THE END of LIFE!" I thank you!
PEACE EVERYONE! I would just like to say at this instance, I have taken up too much time! I desire to keep My Personality and Individuality and My Profession, My Calling, My Work and My Mission out of the consideration. Let ME be as I AM -- INFINITE! -- without the beginning of a personality, individuality; without a mission and without a commission! GOD is INFINITE and GOD is just ALL that there IS!
So I desire to hear others speak, but when I get wound up, at times, I may say more than I should say, and then when I begin to hear more of My Own Self, as it may be termed, I would rather hear someone else, our visiting guests and visiting friends and strangers who are not supposedly followers of Mine and members of our Churches. I AM happy to hear from visitors! For this cause I did say,
'Be mindful how you entertain strangers, whereby some have entertained angels unawares!'
And remember, in being mindful, all nations, languages, tongues and people and
all religions are accepted, and we make corrections only in that which we believe
to be un-evangelical and unconstitutional -- but we do accept of All Nations,
Languages, Tongues and People and All Religions!
We would like to hear from any of our visiting guests as strangers in our midst, if they care to speak. If they do not care to move volitionally as I do and as those of us here, they are welcome to give us their names, addresses and professions; we will introduce them according to custom. I thank you.
(Many of the visiting friends from both the religious and professional fields of expression testified volitionally in their enthusiasm, of this most marvelous Universal Work and Mission of Righteousness.)
