The Fourth Day Of Creation
The Fourth Day Of Creation
Uranda May 31, 1950 100 Mile House, B.C.
God is so good to us and He gives us so many rich blessings. One of the greatest blessings is this: that He does not release His blessings too rapidly to us and through us. It is His desire that there should be an increase in the speed with which we allow His blessings to appear, but if He were to release the larger power through us and there should be a break in polarity, what devastation would result! If it were too great a break or took too long to correct, all those who were involved in the break would probably be eliminated. I say this to impress upon you again the great importance of holding true in polarity according to the Law of the Kingdom.
I am forced to consider as to how much I can trust you. I pointed out long ago that I trust no human being as such. Insofar as human beings are concerned, I am perhaps the most skeptical person on earth. I have no faith in human beings who are trying to do anything in their own strength, according to their own wisdom. I trust only those who are learning to trust God. No human being is worthy of trust beyond the degree of his polarity in the Christ Spirit according to the Law of the Kingdom.
God, recognizing this, releases the increase of power and blessing only as human beings prove their ability to abide in true polarity, only as human beings prove that they trust God enough so that they can be trusted. Many, many times the members of this Body have longed or prayed for an increase of blessing, not selfishly but in the conviction that a greater service could be rendered, that needs could be filled, empty vessels caused to overflow. Actually each should remember, “Before they call, I will answer.” God has been fulfilling His promise in this regard all along the way. Before you have ever called He has already answered, to the degree of your ability to receive in a manner that could be trusted.
Even so, sometimes human beings have allowed a change to appear in themselves and proved untrustworthy with respect to the blessings that have been granted to them. Always the devil is seeking to divert the power of God from its constructive purpose to the maintenance of his own kingdom. It is the only source from which he can receive any power whatsoever, for the kingdom of the devil must be maintained by the power of the Kingdom of God. The devil has no other power with which to maintain his kingdom, so he is always seeking to find those who will prove untrustworthy with respect to the blessings that God has granted them, so that he can divert those blessings from their constructive purposes to the purpose of maintaining the kingdom of the prince of darkness.
Every time you break the line, every time you fail to hold true to your polarity, you are serving the devil by releasing the power of God into those channels which maintain the kingdom of darkness. If it is just for a moment at this high a level, the devil dances with glee, because there is so much power given to him with which to seek to destroy those who turn their hearts to God.
It is a solemn thought; it is a terrible truth. Only in polarity, being obedient to the Law of the Kingdom, can we be free of the responsibility of channeling God's power into the purposes of the prince of darkness. Each one is trustworthy only as he or she abides under the Law of the Kingdom in an attitude of true trust toward God.
One of God's greatest blessings is that He refrains from releasing His blessings more rapidly than His children are able to bear them. The responsibility that comes with blessings from God is one which cannot be taken lightly. If the blessings of God are taken selfishly, or human beings attempt to use them for some self-centered purpose, destruction results. The lower the level of the human being the longer it will take for the result of destruction to appear. The higher the level of the human being the more quickly will that destruction be made manifest. Those who are living close to the level of the animal kingdom can abuse their privileges and their blessings, using them destructively, for a considerable period of time before the results appear. Not so with those who have come to the higher planes of being.
When you come into the Kingdom you have come to a point where you are supposed to be trusting God enough so that you can be trusted with increased blessings, and as you abide in the Kingdom, allowing the cleansing power of the spirit to make all things new, your trust in God increases, that you may be trusted with increased blessings. All of those empty vessels which remain within the sphere of our service can be, and will be, shall be, filled according to the progress of the members of the Body in proving that they trust God enough so that they can be trusted with such fulfilment.
All of this relates to something which I would like to consider with you. If I can trust you to trust God so that you truly let the cycles and seasons of His choosing bring forth the patterns of fulfilment, so that you do not let your minds become involved in a manner that interferes with the development of the patterns of truth, and so that you do not let your hearts become involved in a manner that prevents the increasing current of God's power on earth but, truly trusting, abide in the spirit of the Living Christ, letting all things work out so that you neither lag behind nor draw back, nor run ahead of the Lord, nor seek to improve on God's way, I would like, while I am yet here with you in person [at 100 Mile House, B.C.], to complete the outline with respect to the pattern as it is working at the present time in relationship to the days of creation. If I go beyond the point where we have already gone in this it is because I trust you to trust God and let it work out as it should.
These things have particular meaning in relationship to the Fourth Cycle of Restoration as indicated by the Fourth Day of Creation. I would read to you verses 14 to 19 inclusive, of the 1st chapter of Genesis: “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.”
As you have let the creative power of God work in and through you, you have allowed the dividing of the waters from the waters in you to have a real beginning, so that in you as a Unit, as one phase of the One Body, there is beginning to appear the reality of the firmament which God called heaven. Also you have begun to truly let the waters that are under the heaven be gathered into one place, that the dry land may appear, that the sure foundation of being may be evident in and through you. As this sure foundation of being has begun to find expression through your lives the fruit of the earth, the fruit of that sure foundation—which is to say the fruit of the Kingdom, for heaven and earth are becoming one in you—is beginning to manifest: “the grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind,” symbolizing the natural expressions of being, the true fruitage which appears through those who let themselves abide in the Kingdom on earth. This is that which the Master was speaking of when He said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches.” He pointed out that you could not bear fruit except you abide in Him. So the fruit of the vine, the fruit of the earth that is one with heaven, is beginning—a first, faint beginning, but nevertheless a true beginning—to manifest in you.
As the atmosphere clears, as the heavy clouds roll away, as the fog is dispersed, you begin to see that which is above and beyond the surface of the earth. There is a recognition of the sun and the moon and the stars. But we are particularly interested in the meaning of these words in relationship to this Fourth Cycle of the Restoration, that we may let the recreative processes of God be carried forward as rapidly as we prove, as a Body on earth, that we can be trusted.
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven”—the firmament of heaven. The Master said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven.” This creative Word is being fulfilled in and through you as you become lights in heaven on earth, “to divide the day from the night,” to disperse the gray fog and the darkness from the human minds of those who are responding, that the day may be seen for what it is and the night for what it is. When you have looked to the sky on a clear night, have you ever wondered how many stars you can see up there? You would not like to be under the necessity of counting them. The stars of the sky are symbols of those who have come, and are coming, into the Kingdom on earth, that they may let themselves become lights that shine.
“And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.” As the members of the One Body trust God enough so that they can be trusted with the greater outpouring of the Christ Spirit that brings the resurrection and the life, that Body of which you are members becomes a sign on earth, a sign of the truth of the Master's word, “The kingdom is at hand.” You, as that Body, become a sign on earth, a sign that God is fulfilling His promise of a restoration, and as this Body remains true it becomes a sign on earth, a sign that the enemy shall be cast out forever. “And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so”—and it is so.
“And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” In this sense day and night represent the positive and negative aspects of being as made manifest on earth, and the two lights which He made were created, and are created, to rule the positive and negative aspects of being on earth. “And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night.” As it was an act of God then, it is an act of God now; for God has set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to rule over the positive and negative aspects of being on earth, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And God sees now that, to the extent that it is done, it is good. And the evening and the morning are the Fourth Creative Cycle of the Restoration.
When the atmosphere in the firmament of your own being clears, the darkness is dispelled, and the fog lifts and is dispersed, then you see that which God has set in the firmament and you know the greatness of God's rich blessing, that it is so.
These things that God has done are not to be taken for granted. As in the physical earth there would be no life without the sun and without the moon, so there would be no life in that Body wherein heaven and earth are made one if it were not for the lights which God hath set in the firmament to rule over the day and over the night. If God sees that it is good, blessed likewise are they who see that it is good. Those who fail to see that it is good set themselves up as judges over God Almighty, and with the judgment with which they judge they shall be judged; for as God sees that it is good, so must the children of men see that it is good, or prove that they are of that darkness which is being and shall be divided from the light.
The Fourth Creative Cycle of the Restoration reveals the Foundation of Being which God has established, whereby all the children of men who let go may know the secrets of salvation and enjoy the wonders of paradise restored. The Word of God sounds, and is sounding, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven, and let them be for signs,” proving the fulfilment of the Divine Decree.
Martin Cecil — O Lord God, we thank Thee for Thy trust in us, that we may prove now and always our trust in Thee, letting that which Thou hast established be made manifest as a sign upon the earth according to Thy seasons. Holy Father, we thank Thee for the wonder of Thy love, which releases Thy blessings to and through us as we are prepared to receive them, letting Thy power bring to fulfilment the purposes of Thy will; for we know that Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever, in the Christ. Aum-en.
Uranda — Aum-en. The peace of my LORD and KING be upon thee as thou dost abide in the Kingdom, obedient to the Law. Peace be unto thee, in the Christ. Aum-en.
Martin Cecil — The blessing of the LORD has been made richly available this evening, and we can recognize that this blessing with which we have been trusted was something that was obviously already available. It was not something which by some magic means was invented on the spur of the moment. So there is evidence of the truth that the LORD makes His blessings available as human beings prove their trustworthiness by reason of their trust in the LORD.
The stars set in the firmament of heaven, and the reality of their position there, is made evident in the Fourth Recreative Cycle, but actually the stars were already in heaven whether they had been recognized there or not. In the Fourth Cycle, insofar as we are concerned, the stars in heaven are able to penetrate through the fog, or the fog has been cleared away sufficiently for them to shine on earth. From the outer viewpoint it seems that they are being set in heaven, but the stars were there already. We are letting that which was there already find manifestation in heaven on earth, so that there again the blessing of the LORD in this regard was already present. It is allowed to appear and be received on earth and made available as the firmament has become clear enough so that the reality is received and recognized and allowed to have meaning on earth, radiating the light to all who will receive.
Uranda — How I thank God that it is so. As we are in agreement concerning these things they are established on earth and made manifest for all who will receive through the Power of the Father, according to the Patterns of Everlasting Truth; for in Him is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever. Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. The blessing of my LORD and KING be upon you all, and peace be unto you in His Name.
