Father’s message given at the banquet table Divine lounge in Samsonville, Ulster County, N.Y. on Saturday, August 20, 1938 at 1:20 p.m.
While the listeners were still considering the Wonderful Messages that had just been delivered by FATHER and while waiting in anticipation for what was to come afterwards, Mother sang a little well-known composition, ‘Father is the LIGHT of the world,’ and it was directly after this song that out Sweet Lord arose again to impart another Message to us.
Words cannot express our appreciation and our thankfulness to FATHER for bestowing upon all humanity, His limitless and infinite blessing, that all may benefit thereby. In order that mankind universally might receive that which we daily receive and that which we are now receiving, these Messages are herein recorded.
(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, the same as I have always been, even so I AM. I have arisen at this instance to say, as in consideration I draw you together to cause you to consider the significance of ignorance; the significance of illiteracy; the significance of the nothingness of yourselves as individuals; such as you have been expressing; but yet I am causing you to be in this last time, SUPER-INTELLIGENT!
While listening to the song Mother just sang, I thought for consideration: I have met intelligent people who have thought and considered the ignorance of My followers and the illiteracy of Myself as a Person and others with whom I am connected. I rejoice in it; for ‘man’s extremity is GOD’S Opportunity’; while yet when GOD has an opportunity for expression, His Love and His Mercy will teach you Wisdom and will lift you where you had fallen—from whence you had fallen, and will establish your going in the Land of the Living. That is the mystery!
For this cause we are rejoicing at being a ‘lunatic’ according to the versions of men; rejoicing at being extremiated from the first step of expression; for ‘GOD taketh away the first that He might establish the second’ anyway. So, you are just as well to be extremiated in the beginning, that GOD might teach you Wisdom from the Fount of His Own Omniscience.
If you are not extremiated when GOD takes away the first, without your receiving the second by inspiration from GOD’S Omniscience, you will almost be a lunatic, you will be so ignorant. [Read more…]
