Message Given Sometime in 1931 A.D.F.D., Sayville, Long Island, New York
One of the Angels who had recently come to the Kingdom after being released from jail by FATHER testified that he came all the way out to Sayville from New York City, making two changes, and did not pay any fare as he did not have any money. He just told the conductors he was coming to FATHER. He wanted to attend a meeting in the City with us yesterday but there was not room in the cars for him to go, so FATHER told him he could go in on the train if he had the means. He testified today that he went to the station in Sayville, hoping that FATHER would open the way for him to take the train without money, and finally, I believe, asked someone for assistance, but the way did not open up. FATHER replied:
The money that I spend is always there when I need it, without soliciting, without prodding in any way. It is there and I meet the demand. That is the way MY Spirit will do, and if I have not the means that I cannot prove MY independency and MY GOD by showing independence in a time of commercialism as exists in this Country at this particular time, I AM not showing the Light of MY Life and MY Power. That is why I pay cash for everything and don’t ask anybody for anything. That is the only way of proving yourselves, or yourself, as the real child of GOD, not doing anything infringing on the rights of others, and by proving the Lordship of your authority in Righteousness and Truth, in Kindness and in rendering unto Caesar the thing that belongs unto Caesar and unto the LORD the thing that belongs unto the Lord. From henceforth MY Spirit will, in all means and all ways or phases of life, express MY mind in deeds and in actions. If it is for me to go anyplace I will have the money to go, or ways and means to go independently without any infringement of the rights or liberty of MYSELF or of others, without even the appearance of it. If I would have meant for you to go, I would have said, “You can go.” Now if you had no money to go, why then that was for you not to go, as I said, “If you have ways and means to go independently.” Then you could have reflected ME without condemnation in the act of your duty towards your appreciation of ME and MY Activities.
