Visiting the Shrine
Shortly after a brother testified of a miraculous healing of cancer in the last stage, in the which the doctors had given him up and said it would only be a matter of a few hours before the undertaker could claim the body, stating in part that FATHER Personally came to his home in answer to his contact, when he was on his death bed and healed him instantaneously. FATHER arose to stress in the consideration of one and all, that it is not necessary for HIM to Personally see you, or for you to see HIM or contact HIM Personally to receive the desired results, for it is not anything HE does as a Person to heal or bless you, but it is through your mental and spiritual contact that your condition is reached.
Our Savior then launches out into the great Universality of His Work and Mission to give unto all Creation the Bread of Life -- His Priceless Words, that all might have the privilege to share the fullness of His Blessings and receive, according to their self-denial and consecration, Grace for Grace or Honor for Honor -- an expression of GOD'S Universal Love for the children of men.
For Thine Infinite Love to Your Creation, Almighty GOD, we humbly thank THEE!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and the following is FATHER'S profound Sermon, with FATHER speaking as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! A little while ago the gentleman was speaking, from Washington, telling of his experience in his healing, something that is known to be out of the ordinary, something that is unique among the children of men; but I would like to say, as I have taught millions of you the universe over individually, collectively and publicly, it is nothing I do as a Person. I need not see you Personally. I AM not advocating nor emphasizing personality, but the Impersonality and the Unindividuality of the Impersonal One of Whom you say I AM. I AM moving in the hearts and lives of the children of men, for you have declared:
'Man's extremity is GOD'S opportunity!'
Little did the majority of the people know that the extremiation of self and
all personality and all individuality is the establishment of the Almighty! When
you work cancellation on yourself to its lowest terms and then have brought yourself
to your destination and shall have arisen and awakened in the realization of
the nothingness of matter and the Allness of the Almighty, why then, you will
see your GOD!
Since it is nothing I do as a Person; since it is not necessary for you to contact ME Personally, if you make the mental and spiritual contact, matters can be adjusted satisfactorily for you and it will be done automatically without you. Aren't you glad! ("So glad, Almighty GOD!" shouted the sincere throng.)
For this cause we do rejoice to present to the world something that is incorruptible, something that is undefiled, something that fadeth not away! Something that can stand and withstand all opposing forces and all oppositions; for Greater is HE that is within you than all they that could be against you!
Again I wish to say, according to the brother's testimony, even so, let it be. But I have long since declared and I AM re-declaring the same, GOD IS NOT A SUPPOSITION; GOD IS REAL! REAL! REAL! Once upon a time you thought GOD was a supposition, just an imagination, a superstitious concept of your superstitious and materialistic mind, but GOD IS NOT A SUPPOSITION! GOD IS REAL! REAL! REAL! GOD IS AS REAL AS YOU ARE! And to verify the fact that GOD IS REAL, "the WORD was made FLESH and dwelt among us", one declared,
'And we beheld HIS GLORY as that of the only begotten of the FATHER, full of GRACE and of TRUTH!'
You never observed nor felt such Honor and such Truth as this has been -- Personified
among you! The writer declared:
'And we beheld HIS GLORY as that of the only begotten of the FATHER, full of GRACE and of TRUTH!'
Can you not see the mystery? Have you ever heard of an individual producing and
commanding and demanding such HONOR? ( "No, FATHER Dear!" declared the
eager throng.) I heard John declare, as it is written:
'And we beheld HIS GLORY as that of the only begotten of the FATHER, full of GRACE and of TRUTH!'
Full of such Honor and of such Truth that no man can produce -- such as you have
seen and heard and such as you presently observe -- the Fullness of the Grace
of GOD, the Honor of GOD; for when you beheld it vividly and concentrated on
it conscientiously and sincerely, all of His Fullness have all we received, Grace
for Grace!
You all are getting some of this Honor too, aren't you? You are getting the Honor of being Honest! You are getting the Honor of being Competent! You are getting the Honor of being Faithful and of Truth! The Honor of being the Expresser and the Manifester; not only the Emphasizer, but the Materializer and the Personifier of some of this Grace and of this Truth: this Honor and the Truth materialized in the Fulfillment of whatsoever you say! Aren't you glad? ("So glad, LORD!" shouted the multitude.) Of all of His Fullness have all we received Grace for Grace! Honor for Honor! GOD is giving you His Grace!
If you are honored and if you are faithful, GOD will give you some of the fullness of His Grace and of His Truth, so that you might reproduce the very Nature and the Characteristics of your Savior -- the Life and the Spirit of your Creator, and shall live in the land of the living with Victory over adverse and undesirable conditions; for GOD IS REAL! REAL! REAL! No longer a vision, no longer a dream! Behold, old things have passed away! Behold, I make all things NEW! Can you not see these Words are faithful and True?
Take these thoughts to consideration, and when you carry ME uppermost in consciousness and vision the positive and not the negative, you will tend to materialize it, reproduce it and personify it and become to be the personification of that which you once merely visioned! Once upon a time you did not have health. Mr. Wall is not the only one that did not have health. But because he believed, he received it! Can you not see the mystery? So of all of His Fullness have all we, said he, received, Grace for Grace!
Again, to let you know, GOD IS NOT A VISION AND NOT A DREAM, BUT GOD IS REAL! REAL! REAL! The Materialization and the Reproduction and the Tangibilization of things that Life demands, that is what I AM doing! I AM not just merely bringing before your mind's eye this suppositional concept of GOD and of His Blessings, but I AM bringing into your conscious realization, the Tangibilization and the Materialization, the Reproduction and the Personification of that which is Real!
Then I say, live in this recognition! That is why you can look over this vast audience and see definitely, GOD is not a supposition, because the blessings have come through the process of materialization. GOD is not just an imagination, as afore said. GOD is Real and the Blessings are Real! You have plenty nice homes in which to live! Plenty of automobiles in which to ride comfortably and prosperously through the land, showing you that GOD is not just a supposition. GOD is not just something to be observed as a dream or as a vision. Therefore, it is Real!
I AM making Heaven on earth among the children of men and not heavens as many, as the critics and the ridiculers say; but I have caused that which you once visioned, to be made Real in your experience!
Then I say, live in this recognition and by harmonization, co-operation and participation you can see the actual amalgamation as well as the integration of every nation, of every language, every tongue and every people, and you an see the universality of what I AM telling you, as it is with Myself and My Spotless Virgin Bride. Then why think GOD is representing so-called race, creed or color? Out of One Blood GOD created all nations of men for to dwell upon the face of the whole earth and that Blood was this Same Blood that runs warm in these veins! If you are of a nation of men, then you have a part of THIS BLOOD that runs warm in these veins! Can you not see the mystery?
The Scripture declared it! Your political and legal documents declared it! For this cause, locally and Personally I verified it to let you see and know, there is no such thing as races, creeds and colors in My consideration in which I AM existing! I AM bringing Americanism, Christianity, Democracy, Judaism and all of the true expressions of Life into the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose! I AM amalgamating you together to prove that you are the people GOD made -- of every nation, of every language, of every tongue and every people, where it shall be Peace on earth and Good Will to men by observing the FATHERHOOD OF GOD AND THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN! Aren't you glad? ("So glad! So glad, GOD Almighty!" responded the assembly in unison.)
That looks something like it, does it not, how we can live in peaceful and quiet resting places here, there and everywhere! How we can fulfill the Scripture, yea, even the Gospel and the epistles:
'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself'
and
'Love ye one another even as I have loved you";
for Love is the Fulfillment of the Law! Can you not see the mystery?
For this cause again I say, GOD IS NO A VISION! GOD IS NOT A DREAM, BUT GOD IS REAL! REAL! REAL! In the beginning it is written, that is was in the beginning as though that GOD, as Spirit and Spirit alone, moved out upon the face of the water, and GOD was as a Spirit alone then, and began the Creation of all creation! GOD said,
'Let dry land appear.'
Though it was void and without form, GOD let you know that it was not just an
imagination; it was not just superstitious supposition, but the earth became
visible and no longer void according to the historians.
From the visible and the materialization and the realization of the earth, GOD formed man out of the dust of the ground, showing you here and now, from thence and from henceforth, that GOD is not just a supposition or just something as a mental concept or something as you may deem to be spiritual or Spirit alone; GOD IS FLESH, BODY, BLOOD AND BONES! Because GOD IS MADE FLESH, GOD HAS MADE YOU FLESH, AND YET HE HAS MADE YOU SPIRIT! GOD HAS MADE YOU AS HE IS, AND HAS MADE HIMSELF AS YOU WERE! Aren't you glad? ("Yes, LORD! So glad!" responded the eager throng.) For it is written:
'As HE is, so are we in this present world.'
So then it is a blessing to realize, "A fair exchange is not robbery!"
GOD makes Himself Flesh and makes you Spirit so that you might observe HIM as HE is! For they that are joined to the LORD are One Spirit! You may locate the Scripture and that in itself in quotes will bear record and also witness to that what I AM telling you. I thank you. (The Scripture referred to by FATHER is as follows:)
'But he that is joined unto the LORD is one spirit." (I Cor. 6:17)
We do not wish to bore you longer since we have much to do otherwise and elsewhere.
No doubt there are some at this hour have become to be somewhat hungry, even
though all of you failing to take seats and were standing, indicated that you
had already dined and did not care to eat at this time. But at that time you
did not care to eat, but now, no doubt at this time you care to eat. Aren't you
glad? ( "Yes, LORD!" shouted the happy assembly.) For CHRIST did say, "Simon,
feed My sheep!" And I AM going to feed them too! Aren't you glad? ("Oh,
so glad! YOU are so sweet, LORD!" shouted the assembly.)
For this cause we are rejoicing in the Anniversary of the Marriage Supper of the LAMB, as this is a memorial and a day set apart to be remembered now, henceforth and forever, to encourage and to cause you to live better, to be better, to be more successful, to be more prosperous, to be more healthy, to be more happy and to be free from lacks, wants and limitations and all adverse and undesirable conditions by recognizing My Actual Presence!
From time to time as I bring this before your mind's eye, as by proclamation, we have on record this day, at least yesterday, the twenty-ninth of April, shall from henceforth be an International, Interracial, Interdenominational and Universal Holiday set apart for all people who believe in GOD religiously; not only those who are Christians, but as GOD is also the GOD of the Jewish religion and of all religion, I AM bringing in Judaism and all other Religions under and through the Protestant Bible, though it may be called a Protestant Bible, commonly known as the King James Version of the Bible.
We learn of Moses and Elijah and many of the prophets of old in this very same Bible that we call the Christian or the Protestant Bible, for it includes, as well as My Religion and My Doctrine -- embraces the Jewish religion firstly and the Christian religion and all other religions; therefore, Americanism, Christianity, Democracy and Judaism are synonymous and we shall live it and express it until all of the religions come together as ONE under My Personal Jurisdiction, and then you will recognize and realize the Universal Brotherhood of man and observe the FATHERHOOD of GOD among them!
With ME, this is a matter of course. Everybody is fed! We have a-plenty, just like a FATHER WOULD FEED HIS CHILDREN! The rich and the poor, the high and the low, the great and the small, I make it possible for all to do so, but I do encourage you to be Honest, Competent and True; but do not try to get away with graft and greed, dishonesty, incompetence and untruth!
I have made the way possible for you to live in such hotels as these, for only two dollars and a half per week! Aren't you glad? ("Yes, Almighty GOD!" shouted the masses.) And they dare not ask for more than two dollars and a half per week for sleeping; (1951) if you desire to give more, you are free to do so if you can afford it and feel that they are entitled to it. Then to you, the blessings will come as to ME they daily come. I thank you.
PEACE EVERYONE! I would just like to say at this instance, as it is our custom, we desire to have some little token of our expression of appreciation for your visit and therefore, give you something to commemorate this day, the twenty-ninth of April and the thirtieth of April. Before your plates have been placed some little place cards, having a small picture-head of your Humble Servant and the Spotless Bride -- the Virgin; having the Statue of Liberty sketched in an expression between us -- Life, Liberty and the Reality of Happiness; having the American Flag and the Eagle, showing you that we represent real Americanism and are spreading it in all other countries!
Read The New Day and you will see that Old Glory is flying in Germany today at My Request and at My Command, because this is the Real Country of GOD! Aren't you glad? ("Yes, we are, LORD!" responded the assembly.)
I know that there are many, or have been bigoted, prejudiced and malicious subjects of this country, but our Constitution is Holy! Aren't you glad? ("Yes, GOD Almighty!" again came the happy shout.) It (the Constitution) wants all people of the earth to live Democracy and Christianity put forth into expression as Democracy; it is Christianity legalized and established so that others might realize the Reality of it!
Now let us continue to know that this is not for the purpose of invasion of other nations after the manner of the aggressor nations, but to convert them into Americanism, Democracy, Brotherhood and Christianity as synonymous, for this is the way to bring CHRIST to fruition in any nation or religion.
When you have the right to serve GOD according to the dictates of your own conscience, if you are persistent in your ambition, conscientious and sincere and true and will serve GOD and be led by your highest intuition and be moved by your own highest intuition and be moved by your own volunteer volition, you will bring CHRIST to fruition in your own profession, business, labor or trade. CHRIST will be in everything concerned! CHRIST will be brought to fruition among the nations! There will be no more warfare and bloodshed, for the majority of you here Love ME, and I believe the majority of you here will do what MOTHER and I tell you to do. And I believe you love MOTHER too, to bring about such a moral and spiritual sanitation as this that we are expressing, for even Uncle Sam has been converted! Aren't you glad? ("So glad, GOD Almighty!" exclaimed the masses.)
I converted so many people to be honest, to be competent and to be true, Uncle Sam got converted too! And he went back, paying his old back bills, as My simplest individual children do! I thank you.
You may take your place cards home if you wish to. It may be a blessing for you not to try to get something dishonestly, but just to help you to be successful and prosperous; not to try to play the numbers with the number players, because a good many of you will go to jail trying to play numbers. But try to earn an honest living! Be competent and true and do what I have told you to do and I will be with you. As with ME, so with thee. I thank you.
PEACE EVERYONE! We have been asked to make this announcement. If you will please come around to the other side of the table, those who are standing, and let those who have dined pass out by the cash register so they might donate for the material blessings they have received. It is well explained and understood and the whole world knows that I do not receive any remuneration or accept of money or donations for My Spiritual Work and Service.
As you see in the invitation, you are only requested and expected to donate for material food you eat, and for sleeping accommodations and for the use of church cars or anything of that sort, the same as you would be obliged to pay or donate elsewhere for those material things. I thank you.
