FATHER DIVINE’S BROADCAST MESSAGE at Philadelphia Ball Park, Lehigh and Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Monday, September 4, 1939 A.D.F.D., Time: 10:30 P.M.

As the moment arrived for the broadcast of Father’s Message to the world over Philadelphia Radio Station WCAU by the Columbia Broadcasting System, the voices of the multitudes which had gathered for this great occasion, rang out loud and clear as they sang in unison, “God has blessed America,” the theme song spontaneously selected at this time.

The Station’s announcer, after a few words of explanation, introduced Hon. Harry S. McDevitt, Supreme Court Judge and leading citizen of Philadelphia, who, with the following city officials and press representatives, invited Father to the City of Brotherly Love to give its citizens his great Message of redemption: Magistrate Edward henry; Magistrate Joseph H. Rainey; Mr. Ray Fabiani; Mr. L. H. Joly, Editor of the “Afro-American;” Mr. Ralph Jones, Editor of the Philadelphia Independent; Mr. John A. McGinnis; Mr. A. L. Austin, Director in Chief of the Sesqui–Centennial; and Mr. Robert N. C. Nix, Esq., former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania.

Judge McDevitt in turn introduced Father to the radio audience, and the sincerity of the tribute he paid Father and his appreciation of his mighty Works in salvaging humanity, show the high esteem in which our beloved savior is held by the leading citizens of Philadelphia.

Thank you, Father, for the light you are bringing to all mankind.

Father Divine’s Message Given While at The Banquet Table Musical Fund Hall, 802 Locust Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Tuesday, September 5, 1939 A.D.F.D. Time: 2:26 P.M.

Father and Mother Divine at The Banquet Table.

Sayville, L.I., N.Y.

All hail the power of Father’s ,

Let angels prostrate fall,

Bring forth the Royal Diadem

And crown him Lord of all.

Bring froth the Royal Diadem

And crown him Lord of all.

(Father Divine speaks as follows:)

PEACE, EVERYONE: It is a privilege to realize that little composition has been sung throughout this land and country–not only throughout this land and country, but it has been sung throughout other civilized countries and especially ong the English-speaking people who recognize Jesus as the Redeemer and the Savior. The only difference in the singing of that little song with these of  followers is that they say:

All hail the power of Father’s !

Can you not see there is a supernatural power in the  of God your Father? Not only supernatural but it is psychological and it is logical when you observe the mystery, to see what God has actually done for this people.

Then we say with the melody even to the composition as it was:

All hail the power of Jesus’ , “Let angels prostrate fall, “Bring forth the Royal Diadem “And crown him Lord of all.

If you stop and consider, Jesus mentally or spiritually declared:

Father is greater than I.

If Jesus had a body, God his Father has a body! …for as with the son, so with the father; and as with the father, so with the son. As with an individual, so with a nation!

“… Allow GOD to reign and rule in your mentality, to take full control of all of your mentality. You will not have a space in your mentality for a thought that is negative, for the positive will fill all places within you. Aren’t you glad!”

Thanksgiving!

“You have something to thank GOD for! Thanking GOD for the limitless and infinite wisdom existing among you! Thanking GOD for the joy that no man can give, as exemplified among you! Thanking GOD for the outward expression of the harvest, and the day of reaping you are now observing! Thanking GOD for your health and your happiness at the recognition of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE! Thanking GOD for the realization of the tangibilization of spiritual and invisible things as a living reality on the material plane! Thanking GOD for the Actual Presence of HIMSELF as made manifest in the Flesh, that you might observe His Presence as the Redeemer of mankind! Thanking GOD for the visibility of the invisible expressions of the ecstasy of the angels, as GOD tangible-ates them! Now isn’t that wonderful! All things that you have desired and imagined in your early days of your Christian career, can and will be made real and fulfilled, as you live in this recognition.”

Life is Eternal!  Even though one may fail to express it continually, the Life that is in you is eternal. You are merely an expresser of life according to the dictates of your conscience and according to your understanding, but the life that is in you is eternal… If you unify yourself with the life that is in you, and harmonize with the Creator and the Maker of you, the very life in itself in you will not leave you,  for your body will be in harmony with it. This is also Evangelical! JESUS said, ‘If you abide in Me and let My Words abide in you, you may ask what you will and it shall be done.’ JESUS said, ‘If you continue in My Words you shall know the Truth   and the Truth  shall set you free.’ JESUS said, ‘If a man keep My sayings he shall never see death, and I will raise him up at the last day.’
