It may seem hard at times to overcome but Jesus was the true “faster” and wayshower for mankind
Will help you all the way, not by the way of man, but in the way God ordained
The five physical senses are the omniscience of the almighty in the subconsciousness of men, teaching and telling them what to do
I Have Endeavored to Give You Daily Bread but if . . . You Do Not Learn Your Lesson in the Catechism, Why, You Need to Stay in That Class Until You Learn It
Father Divine’s message given whilst at the Holy Communion Table Circle Mission Church at 764-772 S. Broad street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on a Wednesday afternoon of July 14, 1943 at 3:45 p.m.
GOD is here in HIS HOLY Tabernacle and HE is making all things clear. HE is leading the people as no man can! HE is riding the minds of men and teaching all, the way to inherit theKingdomofGODand HIS Righteousness here on earth! Therefore, heed HIM as HE Speaks in Meekness, for GOD shall not always strive with man!
BLESSED LORD OF ALL CREATION, WE TRULY THANK THEE!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which 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, unifying the children of men in that great Atone-ment, bringing all up to that great Atonement to which sacrifices and from whence sacrifices are made and offered up to the LORD! And when I say, “Here we all are and there I AM; there I sit and here you stand,” I speak as I have spoken by inspiration saying, “Christ is Rich and all you need!”
Again you have heard by inspiration, speaking for some degree of unfoldment as exemplified among you, “Christ is everything to me!” By inspiration you heard someone sing,
“He is my Father, my Mother,
My Sister, my Brother,
He is everything to me.”
It is a privilege to realize, as you stand so can it be according to the way the things you see and according to the things you see directly and indirectly. I recall about ten or twelve years ago―no doubt the last speaker remembers ― Walter Lanyon published a book called, “It is Wonderful!” Before he published this book he came to ME, after which he went abroad and published this book, “It is Wonderful!” He caught some sketches of a reflection of some of MY Messages. By excerpts he wrote in this book, “It is Wonderful!” some of MY Statements and some of MY Mottos, and even though I had refused to write and for many years I refused to have a picture taken, for many many long years; because I desired to transmit the Truth to the pilgrim traveler and to the seeker by the Spirit, so that they might not see ME Personally, neither observe anything according to the flesh!
For many, many years, I refused to even so much as write a letter, and denied MYSELF of all would-be friends by correspondence of communication, and endeavored to convey MY Message to the children of men by the Spirit through the Spirit conveyance and through mental telepathy, that they might be resurrected by MY Spirit and not according to the flesh.
The First Picture of FATHER
After these many years there were, from time to time, those who were malicious and prejudiced to the Truth. They thought or sought to pervert ME, MY Work and MY Mission by writing concerning ME and publishing distorted pictures that they said were MINE. In nineteen thirty-two, after the verdict, I through MY Condescension, decided to have a picture made of MINE―of ME, whichever, to give the people first-hand information of MY Physical or Personal Likeness and Appearance, that they might see and know, the perversion of men as they had perverted ME in words, in deeds and in actions by expression, were the distortion of their minds and the thoughts of their minds, the way they had depicted ME and desired to cause others to think the same concerning ME. I gave MY Picture to the world at that time, and from thence until recent years.
But the first picture that was given, actually given to the world, and I actually relaxed and decided to pose for the picture in Washington― and did it. And after that time MY picture went forth in the land, but not until then at MY consent, because I desired to get everybody to see ME not as ME but as HE Whom millions say I AM! (“GOD Almighty!” shouted the adoring audience in one voice.)
For this cause I would not correspond through the mail and abstained from all Personal correspondence with the people for a long time. Of course, when I gave MY Picture to the world I had been corresponding for a number of years as far as writing letters and giving out books anonymously, and endeavored not to throw a stone but to drop bread down the chimney and hide MYSELF and not let them see who did it― to let the people consider, as the woman did concerning the bread when she was hungry― think GOD did it! Hence, I gave the bread anonymously and would not reveal MYSELF thereafter in a great measure. I gave books of every description that had an advanced light of spiritual understanding, to give the people the bread and let them think GOD gave it to them from heaven―and so I did. Aren’t you glad! But until now I have endeavored to convey the Truth as it is. [Read more…]
