The Auditorium Of the Nazareth Mission Church,
Home And Training School, Inc. of Pennsylvania.
It was after the conclusion of the Annual Business Meeting of the Nazareth Mission Church, Home and Training School of Pennsylvania, that a sister, one of the members, testified and stated she had not been in the meeting very much as she had been awaiting FATHER'S and MOTHER'S Personal arrival and thanking Him in her heart to come, as they had always had His Personal Body present at their meeting. It was this testimony in part that primed the Wellspring of Salvation, for it is true, our Beloved SAVIOR and HIS SPOTLESS BRIDE and staff arrived late, due to His never-ending Work for the Salvation of the children of men; therefore, upon His arrival the meeting was near conclusion, but before it adjourned, the PASTOR, BISHOP and FOUNDER was given a hearty voice of thanks and appreciation which took the building by storm, and the business meeting was concluded, which was followed by a glorious praise meeting when FATHER volitionally said, "Let us sing."
In accordance, all sang and beautiful testimonies followed. And when our LORD arose to speak, amid thunderous, deafening applause, in the conclusion of His dynamic Sermon, HE declared a DIVINE ULTIMATUM, that none of His followers, members, sympathizers and harmonizers of this Truth, would patronize the New Jersey Turnpike- until further notice!
Therefore, read for yourself the WORDS of the LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY, FATHER DIVINE, for they are your salvation!
For THY Words of spirit and of life, Almighty GOD, we humbly thank THEE!
The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber and the following is the inspirational composition sung just before FATHER arose to speak
'Worship the LORD in the Beauty of Holiness,
In the Beauty of Holiness worship the LORD,
Honor and Majesty are before HIM, before HIM;
Beauty and Strength in HIS Sanctuary abide!
Worship the LORD in the Beauty of Holiness,
In the Beauty of Holiness worship the LORD.'
(FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE, EVERYONE! Here we all are again. There I sit and stand in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose. Among you I AM, as I have been. For the selfsame purpose and for the selfsame cause I come.
(FATHER then addressed these remarks to one of the trustees concerning the microphone, speaking as follows:)
This may be let up a little bit. I wanted it to catch MY VOICE good! It doesn't have to be below; it will pick it up better above than below. (FATHER continues preaching:) Then I say, by the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose I have brought you all together for the self-same cause as were in the beginning of the Creation! Aren't you glad! (So glad, GOD ALMIGHTY!" shouted the masses.) In the beginning of the Creation GOD made--in other words, created everything and HE saw that it was good and very good! Aren't you glad! ("Yes, LORD, So glad!" came the response.)
We are happy to say, many things are brought forth from time to time that we may not necessarily desire to make organizational, but we are are happy to present to the world and to all mankind generally a Sample and an Example of this Unity, the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose and the fellowship one with the other. It is marvelous to behold the great unfoldment of this Righteousness as exemplified, for it is contagious and it is as much so universalized and GOD can actually universalize this great unfoldment of real Brotherhood!
A little while ago, when the Vice President was speaking, I believe, she mentioned something about they or you all desiring My Personal PRESENCE; but since I AM Universal and Impersonal, since I AM Interracial, since I AM in reality INFINITE by Nature, I need not be here Personally! Just think of those in other countries far away, places wherein I have not Personally gone and have no anticipation of doing so, yet I AM with them and just as operative and just as expressive as I AM here with these! Aren't you glad! So glad, LORD!" came the eager response. If you recognize the Omnipotence, Omniscience and OMNIPRESENCE of GOD and realize this beautiful LIGHT as exemplified, that OMNILUCENCE of GOD Universalized and even impregnated, reincarnated and personified, you will recognize MY PRESENCE wheresoever you are!
That is why I have said, you need not contact ME Personally especially, you need not see ME Personally especially since I AM OMNIPRESENT and operative and expressive universally, even invisibly; for as it was in the beginning, GOD is the SAME today, yesterday and forever!
I heard you say by composition:
'Worship the LORD in the Beauty of Holiness!'
If you worship ME conscientiously, sympathetically and sincerely in the Beauty
of Holiness, I WILL BE WITH YOU! I will express through you, by you and with
you where and when I AM not Personally seen! That is why men count GOD as invisible;
and one writer caught the thought according to his conviction, according to the
record of the version of the people:
'No man has seen GOD at any time.'
That was a thought conveyed to humanity, but they did say by another glimpse
of the Mystery of the Scripture:
'But the only begotten of the FATHER, HE has declared HIM.'
And it also says, by going a little deeper in the Mystery of the EVER and OMNIPRESENCE
of GOD, it says:
'In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. And the WORD was made Flesh, and dwelt among us...'
Coming into your experience and into your dispensation and into your realm, the
WORD was made Flesh and it dwelt among us, he said, but until that time, you
did not receive HIM so effectively: but it is written:
'As many as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons of GOD.'
There are many things I could say, but as aforesaid, it is not necessary for
ME to speak so much. As I have predestinely promised as recently promised, to
preach CHRIST in Words but more so in deeds and in actions and I will put MY
SPIRIT in the people and cause them to walk in MY STATUTES! Aren't you glad!
(Oh, so glad! sanctioned the multitude.) GOD in the midst of you is teaching
you how to walk in His LAWS and to keep His PRECEPTS whereby you can read line
upon line and precept upon precept and be able to comprehend and understand there
is a Supernatural PRESENCE working among you for the betterment and for the advancement
of every one of you!
But as I thought tonight as I had been quite busy being up all day yesterday and all night- night before last and all night last night, and coming down reading and proofreading all the way from Jersey, arriving here around nine o'clock starting My never-ending and never-failing Work, as though I was starting it as it had not been begun, therefore I happened to be quite apparently late in arriving: but I thought to say and I did say, even though I happened to be apparently away, I knew My Spirit could carry the Work on just as effectively; could carry it on just as effectively for the election of officers and trustees and just as effectively for any other business! As I said when I came in, the meeting was over and they said they re-elected all of the original officers by a blanket vote, but I said, did you or did they elect a BISHOP, FOUNDER and PASTOR? No, no, LORD protested the adoring congregation, I am not confined to you organizationally! I am not bound to you organizationally! Every nation, every language, every tongue and every people have a right to ME as well as you, for it is written of ME:
'Out of ONE BLOOD GOD formed all nations of men for to dwell upon the face of the whole earth.'
That is why no dogma or no nation or no creed or no color or no race can confine
or bind ME!
The same as contrary to what I happened to receive- a letter this morning. Someone wanted to do something for their people and thought I had some people! I said, if that person was a follower of MINE or a MEMBER of Mine or a child of MINE, they would know they are not bound to races, creeds nor colors! That is what has brought about warfare and bloodshed even until now, all because of the divisibility among the people and families and kindreds of the earth!
When I did say, "Let there be no division among you," even in building the Tower up into Babel, we know that I caused them to be ONE PEOPLE and I, in the NAME of Whom you say I AM, ("GOD ALMIGHTY!" shouted the assembly.") said,
'Behold, the people is ONE, and they have all one language, and this they begin to do: Now nothing will be Re-strained from them to do, that "which they have imagined to do!'
They were building a Tower as so to speak, up into heaven and trying to do it
erroneously, but because they were ONE and had united consolidatedly, I said,
nothing would be restrained from them to do, that which they had imagined to
do! Now how about you? And how much each or all of us do when we know we are
building up the temples of the LIVING GOD; not erroneously, but in the positive
and according to the PLAN and the PURPOSE OF THE ALMIGHTY!
When you are ONE with ME and ONE with ALL and ALL IN ONE as ONE, nothing will be restrained from you to do, that which you have imagined to do! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, FATHER Dear" again came the happy reply.)
Then I say, live in this Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose and if there be a sense of division among us, I advise you to let it go, for all bigotry, all prejudice and all selfishness must go, and GOD ALONE shall reign; and none shall slightly hinder ME nor retard MY simplest advance!
Oh, what a privilege to live in this recognition, to be self-denied, consecrated, a living sacrifice and be unified to the extent that you are willing for all self to go, for he that seeketh his own, he seeketh death, but first sickness, sorrow, misery and woe! It comes first, sickness, sorrow, misery and woe!
There are many things I could say along this line, but I heard you sing and I heard you say, what are they doing in heaven today, where sin and sorrow are all done away! There is no more sickness! There is no more death! There are no more diseases! There is no more disappointment and failure, if you live according to My Teaching! The reason you have misery, disappointment and failure, the reason you have to continue to call the undertakers and the doctors, it is all because you are not of ME! He that believeth on ME, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of Water of Life and there will be no sickness, sorrow, no accidents, no pain and no death! You will not have a blowout!
There are many things I could say, but as aforesaid, I have long since declared:
'I will preach CHRIST in Words, but more so in deeds and in actions, and I will put MY SPIRIT in the masses, yea, in the people and cause them to walk in MY STATUTES.'
Then I say, if you recognized MY PRESENCE and live it and get rid of selfishness
and other fellow-ishness, get ride of races, creeds and colors and live MY LIFE
as I have exemplified it among you, every last one of you will be WELL, HEALTHY
and HAPPY and you will not have a headache!
There are many things I could say, but dropping thought by thought through word by word, I AM in hope that you will conceive these thoughts and endeavor to live according to MY MIND and SPIRIT by getting rid of all your hate and prejudice and jealousy and bigotry and every bit of other-fellow-ishness! Someone wants to be bigger than the other! I say, someone wants to be bigger than the other! Wants to be greater! Wants to be bigger! Wants others to look up to them! At the NAME of JESUS CHRIST of whom you say I AM, every knee must bow and every tongue must confess for I bare in MY BODY the Life of Christ Personified!
I would like to call your attention to a thought that is well-worth considering, at this particular instance I AM putting it on record as LAW and as ORDER! It is something that you, a good many of you, received a call this morning, a broadcast call, and that was an appeal made to you all! All of my followers, members, sympathizers and those who are harmonizing with this truth, to call strike on the Jersey Turnpike! I will let them see and know, from a monetary point of view and from a business point of view, I have something to do with you! You will cease to spend your money on the new New Jersey Turnpike such as all of my cars have been doing, giving them the patronage of our churches and church connection with thousands of pleasure cars and hundreds of business cars, trucks and other conveyances because the way was made through the Jersey Turnpike you could go a little faster and make a little more time on the turnpike! But from last night I withdraw from them until further notice!
I will let them see and know, GOD deals in the affairs of men! And if I bless anyone or anything, it is blessed! And if I withdraw from anyone or anything, it is withdrawn from, the success and prosperity; and curse and disaster follows them! I thank you.
