When you vividly visualize God by realizing God you tend to produce and materialize God in your life even as you observe him in himself

Our Father’s Message given whilst at the Holy Communion Table, Circle Mission Church, 764-772 Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA., Friday Afternoon, March 5th, 1943 A.D.F.D., Time- 5:25 P.M.


(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER Speaks as follows:)

Peace, Everyone!

A Sample and an Example has been demonstrated of the future America; in other words, the future religious world consisting of all religions, where the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose shall have been recognized and instituted in government, in business, in profession, in labor and in trade and in every activity, where all will stand as one man at Jerusalem; if we speak after the manner of our present democracy from a constitutional, yea, from a documental point of view, we can say, stand as E Pluribus Unum.

This is it of which I have depicted something that is bringing an abolition to slum conditions in your respective communities, bringing an abolition to vice and crime, sin and debauchery of every kind and bringing an abolition to depression, limitation, adverse and undesirable conditions from every angle of expression. The great crusade of Salvation is going on (Aren’t you glad!) renovating and rejuvenating the hearts and lives of the children of men and transforming them by the renewing of their minds! Aren’t you glad!

‘If you continue in My Words you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free; and he that the Son sets free is free indeed!’

Free from every angle expressible a real Universal Emancipation. Aren’t you glad ! And Abraham Lincoln caught the glimpse of the mystery as a national political official, speaking executively:

‘….;That this whole nation under GOD might have a New Birth of Freedom.’ [Read more…]

Father Divine’s lecture given at Hope Farm on Friday, June 3, 1938 at 3:15 a.m.

“How Can Men Succeed When They Continually Create Destruction by Destroying Things For the Sustenance of the Body and the Redemption of Mankind?”

By being the Best and producing the Best from every angle expressible, FATHER DIVINE cannot help but draw the desirable, and that which is the Best expression from all fields of life and on all planes, to HIM! One of the beautiful examples of this, is the beautiful Hope Farm Extension, located in West Saugerties, Ulster County, which is only a part of the property that has been taken over and is owned and operated by the followers of FATHER DIVINE.

Book: God comes to America: Father Divine and The Peace Mission Movement

by Kenneth E. Burnham

“At last a study that takes seriousely one of the most controvercial, important, and neglected religious leaders of the twentieth century – Father Divine, whom thousands believed to be God incarnate. Based on rare source materials, this readable account traces Father Divine’s career, spells out his theological position and economic message, and examines the role of a charismatic leader in a communal religious organization”

My actual work and mission among these people

I would like to say to our visiting friends, hearers, and even followers who have not heard and known.. Do not know, whichever.. MY Actual Work and Mission among this people; I recall when men in this part of the country, New York City, in Baltimore, Maryland, Philadelphia and Washington… the northeastern part of this country, about thirty, forty and fifty years ago… they used to go around soliciting, begging and stealing on the streets; and I recall I rose up in such enthusiasm and such emotional expression, some thought, no doubt, I was somewhat unbalanced in mind.

Reverend M.J. Divine

I said, “I AM going south and prove to the world the Gospel

can be preached without money and without price!”

Every representative in the ecclesiastical world, even to the “stump-knockers,” “Bible-beaters” and street corner preachers, they all claimed that you were obliged to go around begging and stealing, in a way of speaking, to carry the Gospel.
