The golden rule with arbitration will solve every problem

PEACE, EVERYONE!

Good health, good will and a good appetite so you can eat aplenty; good manners, good behavior, all success and all prosperity so you may be happy! All success, I say, and prosperity, so you may be happy continually!

At this particular instance I have arisen to say, it is good to be here in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose! As you stand susceptive to that of which I AM expressing, you can see, reflect and manifest the reflection of it. It is an abstract expression of the Universal Brotherhood of Man and the Conscious Realization of the Fatherhood of GOD. For this cause you rejoice. You are filled with enthusiasm such as others are not.

In the great time of the crises and the conflicts with the nations of the world, with men and their respective neighbors and others living in confusion, malice and strife, those of you who adhere to MY Teaching, you are filled with enthusiasm, with joy and happiness and hospitality for everybody.

For this cause I AM here tonight, to further the advancement of this Righteous Government of which we represent, that shall eventually be universally established and internationally legalized–in other words, internationally recognized and established in the hearts and lives of the children of men as the Fundamental of Salvation, the Hope and the Redemption of them!

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…]

Refuse to hear, taste, see or feel anything that is undesirable

I like the secretaries to hear anything that is good. As I often say to MOTHER, I like for Her and everybody— but especially I wouldn’t like for you to think, see or hear anything distasteful or undesirable, for that is what makes a person ugly; but to always be at a place in consciousness where you refuse to hear or notice anything undesirable by sight or hearing.

If you pay any attention to anything undesirable by the hearing of the ears or to know anything undesirable by knowledge—to pay any attention to, to smell anything undesirable by the sense of smell, all of those expressions of your five physical senses and your five mental senses can cause a person to express ugliness if they will allow such expressions to have access within them! You see the mystery? For the outward expression is but the manifestation of the mental and spiritual conception.

Continue to Stress Those Creeds

Office Talk by FATHER DIVINE to HIS Cabinet Whilst in His Private Office Study of the Circle Mission Church, Home and Training School, Inc., 764-772 Broad Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Thursday Evening & Friday Morning, February 3, 1956 A.D.F.D.,Time; 5:05 A. M.

Continue to stress those Creeds, and when you get it stamped in you, it will be the same as your alphabet. It will be the same as one, two, three! And with that in itself, according to MY often rehearsed Statement, you will overcome every difficulty and you will be a faithful overcomer and you will be a fasting overcomer! Every word! Every Commandment!

Secretary: That is wonderful!

FATHER: But you will not speak a word critically of another!

Another Secretary: The Lily-Bud creed surely stresses that.

FATHER: The word, that Commandment there, you would do it and you would live it and you would express it, and you would fast all of the”other fellow” out of you, as far as that is concerned; abstaining from doing and saying things that you wou1d ordinarily do and say without ME Personally. Fast from it!

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.
