The Wind, Sun And Air

GOD is the same even as the wind is, even as nature is itself.

Now you may not get much sunlight in some houses or in some homes, you may not get very much air. If you get air it may be stagnant air, because you may have the ventilation in connection with some other connection that is stagnating the air of expression before it enters the room in which you are connected. That is the mystery.

So these thoughts are well worth considering. GOD is the same with or without a Person. His Condescension may cause such an expression in different persons and personalities to be reflected as if though HE is Personal, but GOD is impersonal with or without a Person. GOD is the same today, yesterday and forever.

The wind is pure and holy. If there are germs in it and if there are not any germs in the atmosphere in which you are living, the air is pure and holy – – It is absolutely pure and holy. It may be infected apparently by the germs of disease and other contagious germs; nevertheless, it does not say that the air isn’t pure. Matters not how filthy it may be, if you allow it run free it will cleanse itself after a little running.

The Wheat, Tares And Chaff

The wheat and the tares did grow together, but this is the day of resurrection. I AM separating! I AM separating the wheat from the tares. I AM gathering the good wheat in the garner – – the chaff I AM leaving on the outside, and the chaff shall burn with fire unquenchable, but the tares shall be burned within the field, they shall not come to the barnyard. Now is not that wonderful?

We will not even gather the tares in the barnyard. The chaff we will gather with the wheat, and we will leave it on the outside of the corn-mill. But the tares we will not bring to the barnyard. Therefore, I will not gather the harvest of the tares. I will leave them in the field to burn, but the good wheat shall be gathered in the garner and the chaff shall be burned in the barnyard with fire unquenchable.

The Sun Returning

Speaking from a natural point of view, and a point for consideration of the masses, I speak in parables.

The sun that shines today will shine tomorrow. If you happen to see the sun going down, or going towards the West, and apparently going down behind the western hills, be thou faithful , and if you remain here until the same time tomorrow, you will see the same sun returning, and going again.

Then I say, it is a privilege and it is a glorious pleasure to observe such a mystery. When the sunlight of your salvation is apparently leaving you, if you are substantiated in faith and stay in your right place, be not shaken in confidence and remain – the same will return again.

I thank you!

The Ram And The Goat

There was a story told once of a goat – a billy goat. This is a little different story. I will tell you more of it some other time, but I will tell you enough of it at this particular juncture to stir up your pure minds. It is indeed wonderful!

They say there was a goat down on the roadside eating, and also a ram. They said this ram looked up, and the goat saw him, and he started at the ram. Now a sheep is not supposed to fight, especially a lamb. It is indeed wonderful! “But when this goat started after the ram, the ram did not move out of its tracks, apparently, but stood still, and the goat got after him, and when the goat would come up to him, the ram would just – – (Father finished the sentence with a gesture, showing how the sheep rammed the goat.) The goat kept trying it, and he found out the ram’s head was harder than his. Of course, the ram did not leave his place to interfere with the goat.
