MOTHER DIVINE
at the Portal of Life Eternal
This Message, although given so long ago in man's consideration, is now published for the first time. It has a wonderful freshness and appeal that makes one feel as if in the actual presence of the Speaker. The main subject: The return of man to the Garden of Eden; GOD expressing Himself in the various kingdoms of the physical world; living the CHRIST Life; and GOD manifesting Himself in the different members of one's so-called family as our only kin, the last directed especially to one present who called herself a widow.
We thank YOU, FATHER, for Your inspiring Words of True Spirit and Everlasting Life!
(The above statement is editorial comment.)
FATHER spoke in a public meeting last night about the time when HE did not handle any money, and made the statement that the only reason HE handled it now was that HE had those with HIM who needed the use of it. One of the Angels asked the question tonight at the table whether it was His Teaching that if we did not handle money and needed an apple it would be materialized or assembled out of the ether without going through the process of coming through the roots of a tree, the leaves, the blossom, etc., and finally a buying and selling process. FATHER replied,
"Yes, of course; if it were necessary it would be done without that process."
HE said further,
"I AM taking you back to where you will not need money. People do not need all the things they suppose they need. I AM taking you back to what would be called heathenism, and from heathenism back to the Garden of Eden. Through heathenism back to the Garden of Eden, where you will not want to sell or barter, or to lay claim to anything but you will know that all things are yours and there will be no selling, there will be no buying, there will be no defrauding or anything of that kind, because one will have no occasion to do that.
"Now I have given you My Body, My Life, My Service, and everything that I AM, for the purpose of bringing about that CHRIST Consciousness; for the whole creation groaned and was in travail until now. Aren't you glad? And when humanity gets to that place, why, then you see, it will be the perfect state, a state of perfect Peace and perfect happiness, because you will have your mind stayed on CHRIST. And that is why I express this; it is just a little sketch of a reflection of what will be some day. I AM assuming the responsibilities and cares of men that they may relax their conscious mentalities concerning things and yet be generally serviceable to mankind. That is the Real Life, the Service of CHRIST on earth, and to see yourself that way and be that way, and everything will be all right.
"Now I did not wish to touch a penny of money because that made it the same as in the days of Jesus. Jesus, humanly speaking, went into the temple and overturned the tables of the money-changers and drove out the sheep and oxen, etc., and He said His FATHER'S House should be a house of prayer, and
'ye have made it a den of thieves,'
and all of them returned again into the temple, and went again to buying and
selling; for it says, even in the days of Noah, they bought and they sold, and
they built houses and all such things as that, but the same day that Lot went
out of the city, it rained fire and brimstone and destroyed them all. Even also
as Noah. The same day Noah entered into the arc it began to rain, and the flood
came. So it is a great thought to know that those things will go on; but to you
that are consecrated, to you who are making your preparation to live forever,
you will begin to relax your conscious mentalities, your preconceived ideas and
opinions concerning such things, and you will begin to give your heart and your
mind to GOD and with the right concept and understanding of this Truth, you would
not do less, or give less service than you would if you were earning a million
dollars a year, but yet it would be without the consideration of the selfish
gains.
"Now I desire to be continually of service to mankind and don't think about retiring. I mean to be of more practical service than I have been, for what I could, or would give anyone from a personal standpoint of view, it would not be of as much practical service to them and others of their friends as it would, going out in the way that I do. I know last night there were thousands blessed more, I venture to say, than if I had given each one around through the audience a dollar a piece, or ten dollars apiece or an hundred dollars apiece if I had it. I say if I had it; but you have it! Faith is the substance of the thing, and you have more than enough to give every one a hundred dollars apiece, but it would not do the good that the words of Truth that I give them do, for the benefit of themselves and for others. So many people, thousands of people, are being blessed, and so much more than if I would take money right out of My pocket and give it to them.
"I AM doing far more good now than I did when I functioned from the other point of view years back. The money I gave years back, it did not do them any good; their minds were not changed; it did not do them any good. I venture to say that there is not one that was really helped in that way. About ten or eleven years ago, there was a man came out here, and we were having meetings in Patchogue at the Methodist Church, and I was helping the preacher out down there, and there was another supposed preacher came here, he claimed that he had a lot of money, and I did not bear record except of what he said. He said he had a deal to make in Troy, N.Y. It was a piece of property there, assessed at 50,000 dollars and to save this property it was a $10,000 mortgage on it. The party wanted to sell him this property for $10,000 or, in other words, give him the house for the $10,000 and inside of thirty days, return him the property for $20,000. So he came to ME and wanted ME to give him the $10,000 and of course, that is the way it goes. Now I do not say I gave him that; I didn't give him all of it. But anyway it did not profit him anything. He didn't get any better. But now you see, when I speak the Word, My time, My talent, it must be effective.
"Now just think of the thousands of people that are destitute in so many different ways. They can just think on ME and be far more blessed than if I should go out and give them money. There were thousands in that crowd last night and I know they were blessed, for it is the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD and it is the source of all supply, and they had to be blessed, much more than if I had tried to give them some mortal aid. They would have been looking at that, and that would have been all they had; but think of the thousands that have been lifted up out of those conditions; and money cannot buy it. So it is a wonderful blessing. Because, as I used to say often, when I would do those things, from a financial standpoint of view because I know I can help you so much quicker; and if you need money, you can get it from the Spirit so much quicker. If you get your mind off the supply, and contact the Spirit, that was spoken of by the mouth of Jesus,
'First seek ye the Kingdom of GOD and all of these things shall be added unto you";
when you make your spiritual contact, then the material things shall be added
anyway. Just make up your mind to seek the spiritual, and throw yourself open
for the letting out when you receive, both in service, deeds and actions, and
your cup will be running over with joy."
Last Sunday there was another large meeting in Rockland Palace, New York City, attended by about twelve thousand people. It was a great success. It was planned to open the doors by twelve o'clock noon, but is was necessary to open them at eight A.M. because the people were waiting in line at that time. The meeting got under way about one o'clock and lasted until seven, so that those people were there all day, without food, and nothing was offered them by FATHER but spiritual food. And then some of the people in Sayville say that if FATHER discontinued his free food, His place would soon empty out. There were many healings during the meeting, and many received the Holy Ghost. About forty Angels, including Mother, were grouped on the platform around FATHER. They sang, and many of them spoke. FATHER waited until the last and kept the audience in suspense. When HE finally did get up to speak HE didn't open His mouth, HE just stood there silently for a few moments, and almost as though an electric shock had gone through them, the whole audience rose up and cheered and waved their hands. Many were healed at that moment, and many received the Holy Ghost and ran towards the platform, calling on FATHER. It was the most wonderful demonstration of power imaginable.
It was fully fifteen minutes before order was restored and FATHER spoke. His Message was wonderful, as always, and the people just hung on His Words. When it came time to go they did not want to leave. After the usual time getting away from the crowds we drove home in several carloads, and sat down to the table. A similar meeting was held the previous Sunday in the Star Casino, New York City, and smaller meetings have been held every few days through the week, sometimes two in one night, so that when we finished speaking in one place we went to another. During the past four days there have been five meetings. FATHER has been given the use of Rush Memorial Church, holding about two thousand, for every Thursday evening. Last night was the first meeting there and when we arrived, there were at least three thousand in the street in addition to the two thousand inside. They were hanging on every beam and windowsill inside, and two meetings were carried on at the same time, one upstairs and one in the basement. Several ministers came forward at this meeting and offered their lives and service to FATHER publicly. There were many healings as usual and many testimonies from the audience of help received from contacting FATHER mentally and spiritually. There are meetings in Jamaica, L.I., each week, and at several points in New Jersey, including Englewood and Haskell particularly. The meetings in Jersey have so far been carried on by students, but it is expected that FATHER will appear in Person within a short time there. With so much outside work, the inner life of the Kingdom is more or less suspended; even FATHER'S correspondence does not receive the usual amount of time, and it looks as though things might be more or less along those lines for some time to come. The crowds could not be accommodated in any place FATHER might have, but they are being fed with spiritual food right where they are.
After FATHER'S recent Talk about the storm and flood that came upon a Southern town when His command to get a certain woman out of the insane asylum was disobeyed, there must have been criticism in the minds of some, for FATHER spoke as follows:
"I don't care what you say about GOD being Love, either. I AM Love to those that are Love. I AM the good ground that produces whatsoever you plant in it. Do not think you can plant murder and slander and not get them back. You must reap what you sow. If you sow seeds of destruction you must reap destruction. And I set before you a blessing and a cursing, if you do anything you don't believe Jesus did. If you do anything that Jesus did not do, or if you do anything that you don't believe the body called Jesus did, it is a matter of impossibility for you to be a disciple of CHRIST. You cannot be a disciple until you shall have lived in conformity to the Life and Teaching of CHRIST and brought your body into subjection to the CHRIST Consciousness. Now some may say, I don't know a disciple; I don't know whether Jesus meant this or meant the other; but all have in their lives the thoughts and the inclinations to tell them whether Jesus did those things or not. Now whatsoever you believe Jesus did, you do that. It makes no difference what the Bible says, if you think Jesus played craps, you do that. Don't rob your own conscience; be true to your trust. If you believe Jesus smoked, or did any kind of gambling; if you believe He drank, then you do that. Do whatsoever you think the Body called Jesus did, for Jesus brought forth the CHRIST to fruition in His Life and manifested it to the world.
"Now I will say that the greater part of the world realizes now, even if they don't know Who I AM, they do believe that I have brought forth the CHRIST to manifestation anyway, if not to fruition. And there are thousands and thousands of people who actually believe it and it is written that through the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established; so therefore, it can be legally confirmed if necessary in the courts as the legalized and only legalized religion, for there are thousands of people bearing witness to the same but yet it is an onward and an upward process in the children of men. They must travel on to fruition in their own consciousness. But whatsoever Jesus did, that do; but how can a person be like Him who goes around smoking and drinking and gambling, etc.? They are deceiving themselves. I don't care how many degrees they have, they are deceiving themselves; they are not deceiving GOD.
"You can say the rattlesnake is GOD; that is the life of GOD. The life of GOD is in the mineral kingdom, in the least grain of sand, but it is not expressing itself in the intelligence of GOD as being called GOD. It is known only as the mineral and the life of GOD. It is the life of GOD expressing itself in the mineral kingdom and it is expressing in the vegetable kingdom; it is the expression of GOD in the name of the vegetable kingdom, functioning there. The same life, coming up in the animal kingdom of species of animals, even the reptilian kingdom and the fowl kingdom, and all of the kingdoms of the animal world, that is the life of GOD in both it and them; but yet it is not reputed to be GOD in the understanding of GOD; there it is called the animals of the different kinds. Then it is the animal, but the life thereof is GOD, but that cannot be recognized as GOD as it is expressing itself from that state of consciousness, from the animal state of consciousness. It would not be spiritually legitimate or morally legitimate for it to be recognized as GOD, That is the life of GOD expressing itself in the animal kingdom in its different species, and it expresses in the animal kingdoms such as the reptile kingdom, which is one of the small kingdoms of the animal kingdom. There is another kingdom, one of the other kingdoms is the monkey kingdom; that is another expression of the great animal kingdom, the reptile kingdom being the lowest of the animal kingdoms, and then comes the monkey kingdom, all of the species of gorillas, baboons, monkeys, lion killers, etc.. It is the life of GOD being expressed from a lower state of consciousness and imputed not to be the life of GOD and cannot be recognized as GOD for GOD is spiritual and GOD is superior. We would deteriorate if we would allow ourselves to go back to the lower standards and recognize everything below our human standards as GOD, and it would not be advancing; it would be degrading.
"So there progression must go on, and there from the different species of the animal kingdom and from the different kingdoms of the animal kingdom, the reptile kingdom, the monkey kingdom, the poultry kingdom, the bird kingdom, the higher expressions of the life of GOD (for there are birds that speak when they are domesticated); but still these expressions of GOD should not and could not be recognized as GOD, for if you do hold them up as GOD you would go back to them and measure up to them instead of measuring up to the higher standards of Truth and Love and all compassion, and humanity would deteriorate instead of advancing. The different species of the animal kingdom is GOD, it is true, but we cannot recognize it as GOD. It is GOD expressing Himself in those different expressions, but it is an animal or animals, and it is so with the man kingdom, the expression of GOD one step higher. In all of the expressions of the world there are many expressions of the man kingdom, the same as many expressions of the animal kingdom; they are all expressing themselves a step higher than the animal kingdom, but yet that is not the full expression of GOD and we could not call it GOD unless we shall have found that it is expressing CHRIST as in the Body called Jesus.
"The Body called Jesus was one man you appreciate, whom you should have heard, and you should hear Him now. That is why I direct you to the Life and Teachings of CHRIST as recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Some may say, "Well, I don't know just what He would do about this or about that; I think maybe if He were here He would drink and gamble and carouse around." Now you be honest and sincere, and whatsoever you believe that Body called Jesus would do, you do that. If you think He went around in bad company and mortal mindedly went after the opposite sex, why, you do it. But you don't believe that He did it. Then you merely do those things that have been done in the Kingdom concerning ME. When the woman touched the hem of His garment, she was made whole. There was that most important characteristic of Mary went out from Jesus when she touched the hem of His garment, and that is why these healings can be done here and wheresoever we go, even when they hear about us. That most important characteristic of Mary, when someone touches ME mentally and spiritually out there, it simply goes out, that most important characteristic of Mary that went out when the woman touched the hem of His garment. He felt something go out from Him, don't you see, and that was the substance of that most important characteristic of Mary, and that is the healing balm of the world.
"Now just to the opposite of that is the diseases and corruptions of the world. You can go just to the opposite of that, and that is the diseases and corruptions of the world; but just that is the healing balm of the world. It purifies you, makes you whole, and then you can be in the number that John saw coming up through great tribulation, washing their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. And all of Babylon's debauchery, you will come out from her then, and of her debauchery you will not be partakers, and you will have the healing balm, and whosoever will call upon you in the name of the LORD, they will be blessed.
"Now that is what is required, and that is the only way that I will recognize anyone as having the CHRIST. In Adam all die; so in JESUS CHRIST shall all be made alive. You must rid yourselves of all of your mortal characteristics, mortal tendencies, preconceived ideas and opinions, tendencies and pleasures. Put those off for the CHRIST; for in the Adamic state of consciousness all die, but in JESUS CHRIST all shall be made alive. Aren't you glad? Claim your rights and press your claims, and by living the same and being the same, as I said yesterday, that is the only way I shall recognize any of them jumping up and saying, "I am your Son." It is written that in that day they will say,
'We have cast out d-v-ls, and done many mighty works in Thy Name"; and I will say in that day, Depart from ME, ye workers of iniquity, I know you not.''
If you want to be My Sons and Daughters, live just as Jesus lived, every one
of you. Every mortal version must be put off, and all of the habits of the world
must be put off -- drinking, smoking and every kind of habit. If a person is
not willing to resist fancy and desire, and whiskey and any kind of drink, they
cannot be My disciple. "He that conquereth his own will is greater than
he that taketh a city," and he that cannot master a cigarette, I am sure
he could not master his own home, if a cigarette can make him smoke it.
"I want to tell the public that too. Tell everybody that any man that has a daughter and a man wants to marry her, and a cigarette can rule him and he cannot rule a cigarette and not smoke it, he cannot take care of a home. If a cigarette can rule him, you know he cannot take care of a wife. Anybody that cannot help smoking, anybody that cannot help drinking, anybody that cannot help swearing, they cannot take care of a home. They would ruin the home, ruin the whole family. They would ruin the whole family. I AM going to tell the general public not to allow a man to marry their daughter when he cannot control himself, because he would ruin the whole family. Then every woman that cannot control herself and lets a cigarette or anything else control her, I will tell the man not to marry her, because it would ruin the whole family. That is why nearly all of the families are ruined now. They cannot control themselves and then they go and marry someone else and spoil the whole family. Aren't you glad! So it is just wonderful! It is worth considering.
"Now a person can be a Son of GOD when he shall have put off manhood and womanhood. Then automatically and instantaneously, the CHRIST will spring up in you and express Himself as being the Son of GOD, but not until you shall have put off mortality entirely and all of the mortal versions of your human mind, and put on immortality."
The above talk was brought out when a man from the New York stage visited the Kingdom for a few days, ostensibly for the teaching; but very evidently to follow up a young girl who had recently come here, whom he had met in the City before she came here; a young girl from London, England. He claimed to believe in FATHER but was bold enough to say that the CHRIST allowed one freedom to smoke and drink, etc., in the cause of freedom.
(FATHER continues speaking:)
"It was essential that someone should be willing to sacrifice his life, for without the shedding of the blood there is no remission of sins, and through the sacrifice of the life many have been healed and saved; through the sacrifice of the life you have received such a blessing there is not room enough to receive it. I love to stress that point of view. Aren't you glad!
(FATHER refers here to the story of the lion-faced boy:)
" When the woman supposedly saw a lion, when she thought she saw a lion, her son was born looking just like a lion. Now whether that was true or not, makes no difference. She visualized a lion so stressfully and so firmly, it impressed the lion's likeness in the image of her offspring's form and therefore, she brought forth the likeness of the lion and manifested him to the world.
"That is one of the greatest psychological truths that has been brought into expression. This man traveled all over the whole world with this show and different shows no doubt; but I saw him once while he was in the Barnum and Bailey Show, and he looked just like a lion. The woman visualized, and she brought forth just what she visualized. That is something worth thinking about in this Truth. Things can be brought into actuality. Things can be brought into practical operation by your visualizing the thing that you desire. So it is a wonderful blessing that you can visualize the CHRIST, that you can visualize GOD.
"Now whether it is true or not, I do not say it is true at this particular juncture, nor do I say it is not but to you that visualize such principles that are the real ideal of life, and when you visualize that vividly and firmly, believing in the Omnipotence of this Life, realizing that it is materialized, and not only in part. If you visualize any part, if she thought it was part of a lion she would have produced only part of a lion and she would not have had such a beautiful boy. The full likeness of the lion that she gazed upon, frightful and fearful, she looked upon the lion's head and visualized the lion's head, not so much the body; she visualized the lion's head, which is the most beautiful part, and that part only was produced in the boy. Now if you visualize only part of GOD you will materialize only part of GOD and will minimize GOD; to the extent of your visualization it will be brought into materialization.
"But to you that are radical enough and feel with vividness enough to visualize the true ideal of life, the unadulterated CHRIST, the quality of GOD and the quantity of GOD, you produce the same in your own life and manifest it to the world. That is why you produce health and happiness, for GOD is happiness and prosperity. So it is a wonderful blessing to know that that which you visualize you can materialize.
"It is for your highest good, dear ones, to think on great and noble things. It is for your highest good to live in the midst of all of the noblest of the earth and of the Heaven, to live in the atmosphere of the noblemen as being called men, both on the earth plane and on the Spiritual plane, as it may be termed. Then you tend to produce that and become to be a partaker of the characteristics of such as you associate with; for evil communications corrupt good morals. Evil qualities are catching as well as diseases and a man is known by the company he keeps. The reverse is equally true. If you can reflect the evil inclinations of the so-called wicked, you can also reflect the good qualities of those that you associate with. Truly might have David said,
'Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, that standeth not in the way of sinners, that sitteth not in the seat of the scornful.'
You will prosper in all of your ways, if you walk not in the counsel of the ungodly,
if you stand not in the way of sinners nor sit in the seat of the scornful. Aren't
you glad!
"So you can claim your rights and press your claims, and you have the right to the Tree of Life by visualizing that which is the sample and the example, that you might materialize it. So that is what all this is about, and many are being blessed because it is true in practice to you that believe it is true. It does not have to be true particularly; I don't care even if I were a natural man in the mortal concept, with the right concept and understanding I could conceive the idea of the CHRIST as I visualize Him and to ME it would be true. Aren't you glad!
"Now what do you care whether Jesus was actually the Son of GOD or not? But if you believe He was the Son of GOD and if you sincerely believe it and think it strongly, He will respond in your heart within. There will be something respond. Not because it is actually true in particular, but to you it is true. Now it may be true, someone may say that the man Jesus may not have been the Son of GOD, He may have been the son of a man, and they will produce the nature of a man by visualizing him as a son of a man. But if they visualize the Son of GOD, they will produce the spirit of the Son of GOD. So it makes no difference; what do I care whether He is GOD, just so I think He is that and sincerely believe He is that? I get the same results as if He was, if He was not.
"So what you gaze upon, you tend to materialize and bring into your actual experience by visualizing that vividly and strongly, whether it is true or not. Now that lady that saw a lion, that she thought was a lion, and evidence proved that it was a physical lion because she produced a lion. But that does not say, in the highest light of Truth, that it was necessarily a lion; but she thought it was a lion. In the higher light of Truth, we know it did not have to be a lion. It could have been a lamb, it could have been a little child; but if she saw it that way and something was in her vision between that little lamb or that child, why, it had the same effect upon her and in her life as though it had been a lion. So that is the great importance of visualizing good. That is why the teachings of Christian Science had such a good effect in its early days until it completely separated CHRIST from Jesus and then caused other bodies to be separated from their spirit.
"Some of you all heard the man on Sunday who disrecognize His (CHRIST'S) Body, and did not want to come where HE was. You heard him say how the Spirit chastened him and what he experienced. His house was burned and all of his furniture and all of his clothes, and everything that was material, because he disrecognize the Body of CHRIST. Aren't you glad! So that was the reason; to let you see and know that you must not reject the material things of GOD if you desire the material things of the earth. How can you reject the Body of GOD and expect to have the material things? If you reject the Body of GOD, why then, you shall have no body. I will take you out of a body. If you disrecognize My Body, why then, you shall have no body. It is a hard saying, but yet it is true! We reap that which we sow. So many people want to say it is CHRIST in them; but if you disrecognize GOD'S Body, neither shall you have a body, and if you don't give GOD a Body on the earth, neither shall you have a body on the earth.
"Now in conclusion with that point of view, I would like to say unto the lady that thought she was a widow -- now you first of all, we like to let you know that it reads, "God is a Father to the fatherless and a Husband to the widow." But GOD did not just have to become to be a husband for you; GOD has always been your Husband, and you never had another. You never had a father, you never had a mother, you never had any kin aside from CHRIST and GOD. GOD has always been all things to you wheresoever you went. That which was given, HE has always been that to you, and for you; so HE condescended to prepare Himself a Body in the beginning of your world, of your creation and HE called that body to be your father, and HE condescended to prepare a body that HE called your mother. That is in mortal consciousness; yet GOD was your father, and GOD was your mother and HE put on those bodies to appease the mortal concept of the human mind until a Body could be prepared to put His likeness in, which was you, and you grew, and it was GOD in you and through you and in you as being the child of your father and the child of your mother; but GOD is your Father and GOD is your Mother and GOD is all that has ever been for you and to you; but HE puts on these bodies to appease the human mind until the mortal mind, which is the chain, shall have fallen off; and when that mortal mind has fallen off and you have taken on the Divine Mind, you will realize, even as I do, that GOD is your Father and GOD is your Mother, and you never had another.
"Now when you grew up and you had a husband, that was GOD'S body fulfilling the mortal wishes, pleasures and desires, imputing Himself in that body and He functioned in the part and in that false name, to appease the selfish desire or mortality, until the Divine purpose should be brought into actuality, until the time rolled on and GOD saw fit to withdraw Himself from that personal appearance; but GOD is the same today as HE was before HE came out of that appearance called your husband.
"GOD has always been your Father and that is why the Word says,
'He is a Father for the fatherless and a Husband for the widow.'
HE does not declare it at all times, until the first is taken away. When the
first is taken away, why then, HE will make an open declaration of who HE is,
and that is why HE makes that declaration to you; and if you had believed it
before you grew to the knowledge of the Truth, and if others had believed it
before they grew to the knowledge of the Truth, why, many of you would have left
your husbands anyway, and therefore it would cause a great depression in the
human mind and those bodies that function therein; but if the one is taken away,
then the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD reflects itself and
declares to you, "I AM your Husband." HE has always been your Husband
but HE was not telling you until the time came!
"Now those of you who have come to this Truth, realize that GOD is your Husband and GOD is your Wife and your Mother and your Father, and your Sister and your Brother, and all of your kin, and all that you desire. That is why the Word says that until you forsake all, you cannot be My disciple; for CHRIST knew that as you knew the Truth you would be freed from all mortality. So GOD did not try to convince the human mind working within, to overthrow the kingdom of the world that the kingdoms of your world might become the Kingdom of our GOD and of His CHRIST. Now the time has come. I AM rising in thousands of people without a husband, brother, sister, wife, etc., and I AM making My declaration known, and they all will finally see that GOD is your husband and you never had another and you are closer to your husband than when the mortal version stood between you and your Husband, which is GOD.
"So now you have nothing to worry about, because if you live the Life you will find that you are happier than you ever have been before. Be true to the Spirit as you would be to your husband in the flesh and you will have everything that heart desires. You will be well and healthy and happy because you will not be taking on the infirmities and diseases and afflictions of the husband; you will be taking on the characteristics of the true Husband that certainly are not diseases and infirmities, but they are Omnipotence and Omnipresence, true Life and Love and Energy and perfect Health. You will find yourself filled with it, and you will be glad even not to be called a widow. You will not any longer sow the seed of widowhood. You will remember your widowhood no more and you will forget about your widowhood because you will not desire to sow the seed of poverty and lacks or of wants. You will sow the seeds of abundance, even as I do. You will not reflect unto people or appear unto people to be a widow; you will appear to be the wife of the King.
"We are getting that out of the consciousness of the people; for if you appear to be a widow you will appear to be destitute. You will appear to be limited. But if you throw away the thoughts and deeds and actions of a widow and all mourning, and put on the appearance of joy, and rejoice for Jerusalem has become a joy and her people a rejoicing. Greater is HE that is within you than all they that are in the world, for the Mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. You don't have to think about not having a husband; don't ever tell anybody that you haven't got a husband; don't think about it, but just know that you are married to the Lamb. You will have no more occasion to remember your widowhood any longer, for you are married to the Lamb. This is the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb and you are an heir and a joint heir with CHRIST and you don't need to appear and act like a widow any more, for great is HE that is in the midst of thee and great and righteous is His Name, and you are hereby saved. I thank you."
