The Love Flag
Have you ever known God embracing
you
Song of Solomon 2:4 “He brought me to the banqueting house, and this banner over
me was love.” That’s the house of wine. So, the Bridegroom is taking
the Bride to the banqueting house. It’s a closer fellowship. That’s what God
does today. He has brought us to the banqueting house. He
has a banner for us- a banner of the king. What
is written on the flag? Love.This is the age of love not just an ordinary love.
We have to love our enemies. Love will bear the pricks of thorns; love will make us forget the world. “Stay me with flagons, comfort
me with apples; for I am sick of love.” The Bride has become sick of
love. So what happens? He takes her to the banqueting house and shows His love
secretly; and she has become sick of love, too much of love. You can get sick
of love. “His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.”
Have you ever known God embracing you and keeping His hand under your head? Left hand denotes love, right hand denotes strength. So many times, in our calamities, sickness, death and in many
incidents in our lives, the hand of God was with us. Who do you think, brought
you here? He has brought all the Bride, hundreds and thousands of miles away,
to the banqueting house.

We are a nation.
We are a nation. A nation has a King. We
are a spiritual nation. We’ve got a flag, the star of
David-spiritual star of David. But in the eyes of the world, we are
foolish.

IT IS SAID ABOUT OUR FLAG IN Ahilathirattu.
So you can, if you see this Ahilathirattu, he is telling here, you know there are so many portions here, and
he is telling about repentance, you know they had a flag staff. And in every
Iyyah people’s temple, they have a flag staff, it will be about 30 feet high.
So if anybody comes there they had to go around the flag staff five times. They
have to make a promise and the ladies have to say, I never looked at the other
man, than my own husband and so many things they must confess it and promise
they won’t do it. They get healed, they have to do that before healing, then,
you know he is telling, before I come...

JothiRamalingaSwamigal TELLS ABOUT OUR FLAG.
Now there is another person whom we have
heard about JothiRamalingaSwamigal. You know on our way to
Gandhinagar there is a place called JothiRamalinga. That man was supposed to
have disappeared without death. And I have got a big book here which was
written by him. You know he writes something like a Bride, so we will just go
through it. First of all, blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet
he will never fail, so, blow the trumpet. He asked you to stop telling lies. He
took away all our sorrows, so blow the trumpet.
¬ He gave us a new thought.
¬ So let us blow the trumpet.
¬ He spoke the truth, so, blow the trumpet.
¬ He is the small Church father, so, blow the trumpet.
¬ He gave us life without death, so, blow the trumpet.
¬ He came down into the world and touched our bodies, so, let us blow
the trumpet.
Hold your flag.
P Hold the flag up, telling that our Heavenly God has come. Tell
everyone with the flag that he is doing miracles.
P Hold the flag telling that you have found out the small Churches.
That golden Church, hold the flag telling that you have got into the golden
Church. Dance and tell everybody in the dance.
P Show the flag telling that you have found out the bottom of the
truth.
P Show the flag telling that you have eaten of the Heavenly Manna.
P Show the flag telling that the light has taken a form.
P Show the flag telling that your legs will not burn any more.
P Show the flag telling that you have learnt the secret of life.
P Show the flag in the open space.
P Show the flag crossing all your Bibles. (You have to go further than
Bibles. We have to pass away all religions). And then own the flag.
P Show your flag telling everybody that you are making a vow.
P Show your flag telling that the dead will rise again in this earth.
Beat the drums telling that you have overcome death. (Was he seeing something?)

P Sabbath is the sign for the believers. If you celebrate the Sabbath,
that means you know God has come down.
P But the flag is for the outside people to show that God has come
down. So in every home, when you go, keep a flag in your house to show that you
all belong to one family, that God’s reign has come.

OUR FLAG IS NOT A FIGHTING FLAG.
So see the grace of God! We never fought
with the people. It is not another Kingdom. Our flag is flying. It is not a
fighting flag. We don’t fight like other people. If He
says to raise our hands, we will raise. If He says to stretch the spear, we
will stretch. That means, we are not fighting people. But suddenly if He says
to stretch the spear, we have to stretch. We come obedient to Him. So we don’t
obey our instincts. May God bless you and make you ready for glorification. ---

Today regarding the flag, we will see some
verses.
Today
regarding the flag, we will see some verses.
Numbers
10:14 - “In the first placewent the standard of the
camp of the children of Judah according to their armies....”. Then
Vs.18
- “And the standard of the camp of Reuben set
forward according to their armies....”.
Then Vs.22
- “And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward
accordingto their armies.....”.
Then Vs.25
- “And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan setforward, which
was the reward of all the camps throughout their hosts.....”.
So you find thatthe twelve tribes had each
of them a flag. Three tribes got together and they had a flag.The Judah’s flag
was lion, Dan has eagle, like that many symbols were there. Read Psalms20:5.
Vs.5 - “We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our
God we will set up ourbanners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions”. You know till the flag is hoisted, our requests willnot be
granted, you know. Then God will fulfill all our requests.
Then Psalms
60:4 - “Thouhast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may
be displayed because of the truth”.You know King David
has been, he is a prophet you know. So he knows what is happeningin this world
by his prophetic gift.
Song
of Solomon 2:4 - “He brought me to the
banquetinghouse, and his banner over me was love”.
Then Chapter
6: 4-10. Vs.4 - “Thou art beautiful,O my love, as Tirzah, comely as
Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners”.
Vs.10 - “Whois she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the
moon, clear as the sun, and terrible asan army with banners?” Is it said about the beloved or about whom? It says about the
Bride.Bride also will be like that.
Then Isaiah
5:26 - “And he will lift up an ensign to the
nations from far, and will hiss
unto them from the end of
the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly”.Youknow
the world is waiting, such a people are waiting for a flag. When that flag is
hoisted, theywill start coming telling, ‘Oh! that’s the place where our leader
has come’. Read that verseagain (that verse was read
again). So if you are raising the flag, what is happening? We canexpect the
people to come from far, because this is the sign. What is the meaning of
‘hiss’?That means, it’s a sign that God has got angry.
What is the sign of flag hoisting? It is a signthat His anger has started. So He
will hiss from the end of the earth. Immediately who
arethose coming? They will come very fast. So the ministry will have to go very
fast from nowon. That means, it has been taken by the hands of God.
And Isaiah
11:12 - “And he shall setup an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble
the outcasts of Israel, and gather togetherthe dispersed of Judah from the four
corners of the earth”.So this flag is another sign thatthe
gathering is taking place.
Then Isaiah
13:2 - “Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain,exalt the voice unto
them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles”.
And Isaiah
18:3 - “All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye,
whenhe lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet,
hear ye”.
ThenIsaiah
31:9 - “And he shall pass over to his stronghold for fear, and his princes
shall be afraidof the ensign, saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his
furnace in Jerusalem”. What hashe placed in Zion? What is the name of that
Lord? He has placed fire in Zion and furnace inJerusalem.
Then Isaiah
49:22 - “Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to
theGentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy
sons in their arms,and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders”.
Then Isaiah
59:19 - “So shall theyfear the name of the LORD from the west, and his
glory from the rising of the sun. When theenemy shall
come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against
him”. Soanother sign for the flag is hoisted, it means the Spirit
of the Lord has taken the control. Manhas nothing to do
there. It is all controlled by the Spirit of the Lord.
Isaiah
62:10 - “Go through,go through the gates; prepare
ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gatherout the stones; lift
up a standard for the people”.
Jeremiah 4:6 - “Set up the standard
towardZion: retire stay not; for I will bring evil from the North, and a great
destruction”.
Jeremiah4:21 - “How long shall I see the standard, and hear
the sound of the trumpet?”So when theflag is hoisted, which has to
sound? Trumpet of God has to sound. Trumpet means, there is another
voice, and other power inside. But the trumpet sounds
the voice of that person. Sonow when the flag is hoisted, it is a sign that the
trumpet is sounding.
Zechariah
9:16 - “Andthe LORD their God shall save them in
that day as the flock of his people; for they shall beas the stones of a crown,
lifted up as an ensign upon his land”.
---21.11.1987
The meaning of the flag.
Sitting together with Christ in heavenly
places means, you completely cut away from all earthly things. That is why He
has given so much of time. It is upto you to clear yourself from all the
earthly ties. Because the flag has been hoisted, the people will be coming from
far. Now the preaching is in the hands of the spirit of the Lord. They will
hear the voice of God. They will hear just like I heard the voice of God to go
and meet Bro. Branham. They will hear the voices and come. You need not worry
about that. But the time is very short. Because the flag is hoisted, things
will happen very quickly. Because this flag is the heavenly King’s flag, bigger
than all the earthly King’s flags.
The meaning of the Flag is:
P SAFFRON
COLOUR means the supreme sacrifice (Aadhi Bali), and
P theTWO STRIPES, one is white and one is
green. That is: White is righteousness of God, green is truth and peace. When
there is truth only, peace is there.
P Then THE CIRCLE OF THE RAINBOW denotes
eternity, no beginning and no ending.
P And THE STAR OF DAVID is called ‘Vishnu
Chakra’. You can see in the pictures that this Vishnu Chakra rotates and kills
everybody just by cutting their head. It is a rotating star.
P And THE WHITE LIGHT inside that star
denotes purity. It is gathering everybody. So this is the symbol of our heavenly
King.
So it divides the people into two.
·
One as the people who fear the
heavenly King and God and rule their country with God’s fear.
·
The other one will never
believe in God, and will be against that heavenly King. They will be destroyed.
Because the Spirit of God will attack them.
……..So today we have raised the flag and
you know the meaning of the symbol. And you know in Bible it says, ‘Love flag’.
It is not a flag like sweet potato…..But love flag means, it is a flag. If you
have a Kingdom, you have to have a flag. We had kingdom already. But we had
fear one side, secondly we had a doubt whether it is there or not. Now we know
that there is a Kingdom of heaven from eternity and before Aadhi Bali.
---21.11.1987
Raising the flag is not a great
thing!
What Ayyah believes, that only when you
believe, there won’t be fights amongst us, there won’t be confusion. Raising
the flag is not a great thing - raising the flag. The
meaning is you must obey the King. Ordinary worldly
people, to protect a flag even die with the flag. Protection doesn’t
come to you by just raising the flag. Obedience to the Lord God is the sign for
the flag. This flag is not being raised just now. This
is not a flag that has to be registered now in this world. The people in the world
rejected this flag which was registered in Aadhi Bali. So if you watch, there will be four pointed star, 5 points, 8 points
and 10 points - that 4 points also will be there, but nobody will
put 6. Because this is a royal signet.Those who put
that should have the protection of the multitude of heavenly hosts.
So when we raise this flag, this flag is not to be
dishonoured. This is not to be raised today and thrown away tomorrow. What it
means is, the flag which was flying eternally till now - the flag of Narayana
we are hoisting on the earth. If the flag is hoisted, that means that country -
that place is conquered. If someone conquers a country
what will he do first? He will climb up, up and hoist the flag in the
highest place. If I say this place is the highest mountain in the world, you
would not believe. This place is higher even than the Himalaya mountains.
Because Zion itself means a high place.

THE ROYAL FLAG.
This is not the earthly Flag of the other religion
to show their pride and divisions like the religions of the world and countries
of the world. In these days of the mixture of iron and clay (Dictatorship and
Democracy).
Soour Flag also symbolizes two things, two
important things. Symbolizes the Heavenly King.
P One is the Sabbath to show that we know him that he made us Holy
through the SupremeSacrifice.
P The second is the love flag. This flag was hoisted when there was no
religion and no individual countries, but only the children of God existed.
Who were of one mind, whowere loving God
with their heart, mind, soul and spirit…..Luke 1:32 (b) “……and the Lord God
shall give unto him the throne of his father David:”.... So the
Lord God who comes in David’s line gives the throne to the Unseen God. That is
why even Akbar the great took the six pointed star and printed in his shield
under pisces.And he got a great name. So Israel is not the Talmud Jews who call
themselves Jews now. Israel of God means, Those who are
ordained before the foundation of the world, who took part in the Supreme
Sacrifice and who are the Princes of God, the Royal Race which has no caste,
creed, religion or nationality. But only the righteousness of God reigns
Supreme in their lives. The symbol of the flag is eternal. That is
why we put the circle round the flag and the Star of
David or Vishnu Chakra symbolizes,
This is the final pattern which we are
giving below:
P The colour is Saffron.
P 2. It is rectangular in shape.
P 3. And the circle round the star of David or
Vishnu Chakra is to depict eternity no beginning or ending because a circle has
no beginning or no ending.
P There are two straight lines along the Flag.
o
The top one
is totally white depicting the Righteousness of God which is springing from
heaven.
o
The bottom
one is a green strip which depicts Peace and Truth. It springs from the earth.
(Vide Ps.85:10,11).
The saffron colour depicts the Supreme
Sacrifice before the foundation of the world. And you will see all the seven
colours inside which symbolises the Heavenly Throne of the Heavenly King. And
inside the Supreme Sacrifice, are the Bride Members depicting the five-point
star near the moon; which is the Bride’s home which is hidden in Christ not
visible outside Rev.21:9,10,11: Vs.9: “And there came unto me one of the seven
angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked
with me, saying, come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” Vs.10:
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed
me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
Vs.11: Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most
precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;”.... So we are not
putting the five-point star separately. And to depict the throne of God the
seven colours merge into white.
The seven clolours merging to white also depict the Sun
of Righteousness.
The one coming according to the promise in
David’s Line of Pharez in Nathan tribe which is KRISHNA, MAHDHI or CHRIST.
The difference between our Flag and the flags of the other
countries is that when any leader dies, their flags fly at half-mast. But our
Flag will never fly at half-mast because the sleeping saints will rise soon and
the living Bride will be glorified without death. Others
are swallowed by Death but we along with the sleeping saints swallow up death
in victory. So this is a double victory. Vide I Cor.15:54: “So when this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality”....So our Flag which always flies at full-mast will have to be
raised more than full-mast because death itself is swallowed up in victory as
Our Heavenly King has the keys of hell and death. Refer
Rev.1:18. And also because ours is an heavenly flag flying before the
foundation of the world. There is no religion or nationality, that is why we
are not showing any major religious emblems in our Flag.
ISAIAH 59:19: “SO SHALL THEY FEAR THE NAME
OF THE LORD FROM THE WEST,
AND HIS GLORY FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN.
WHEN THE ENEMY SHALL COME
IN LIKE A FLOOD, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
SHALL LIFT UP A STANDARD (FLAG)
AGAINST HIM”.
---MESSAGE
GIVEN BY Bro. LAWRIE ON THE SABBATH 15 .8 . 87 AND SUBSEQUENT DAYS
When the earth went into the control of others,
God had to take the flag away.
The Bride is not ruling the earth. She is
in heaven also. She comes when the King comes and goes when the King goes. This
flag which we have hoisted, it was the original flag. And this flag, when the
earth went into the control of others, God had to take the flag away. So when
the flag came, it says in the Bible,... That in the midst of my people, there
are two things; He says. What is that? That... Is Joel there? Yesterday it was
shown,...
In Jeremiah,... Is that Hosea? Is it Hosea
10 or?
Jer_12:16 “And it shall come to pass, if they will
diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth;
as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the
midst of my people.”
‘You’ll be built among my people...’ - it comes like that, ‘If you say the Lord
liveth...’ But for them to get the glory, their manthram is this: Holy,
holy is the Lord. Lord is holy, holy, holy; He is good; His mercy endureth
forever; praise Him. Then automatically you’ll be built.
Jeremiah 12:16. Read in Tamil. And it shall come to
pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name,
The Lord liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be
built in the midst of my people.-- ‘They shall be built in the midst
of My people.’ So the secret is, when you start telling
‘The Lord liveth’, in the same way you promised, swear for Baal - that means
false people. WHEN YOU KNOW TO SWEAR AND BE TRUE AND
SAY, ‘MY LORD LIVETH’, YOU ARE TOUCHING HIS THRONE.And also, when you do that, you already have the Supreme
Sacrifice in your heart. So without that Supreme Sacrifice, this is useless. So all the people who have taken that Supreme Sacrifice, their words
should say, ‘The Lord liveth’. Then you’ll be built among my people. So there
are two kinds of people. One is saved people. When you say this knowing the
Aadhi Bali, God makes the one - He’ll build you among His people. So He builds
the people without the law and without these, all these restrictions, by looking
at that great King.

Kridathipathi, put a crown on me, then we raised the flag.
This brother Anandhar, you know, they did
something to fulfil the prophecy. Last year he told me, ‘You must raise a flag
and...’ And also he crowned me. So I was crowned by Kridathipathi. So I really
approve that. If anybody crowns me, I won’t approve it. So the Meivazhisalai
leader - Kridathipathi, he put a crown on me. So that is qualified me for that
crown. So, then we raised the flag. But Geetanjali says, ‘I see the flag raised
up by that man. I see the flag raised up by that Person. After, there’s no
time.’ That’s a sign God has planted His flag in the earth. So there will be
confusion everywhere. May that great Spirit Paramathma, which contains seven
Spirits, which is in Narayana alone, bless you. May my Father’s love bless you
all. Christ Jesus, Allah, Narayana bless you.
--- 22-07-1988 P.M.
“Sir, after raising the flag, nobody comes to bother us.”
Now what everyone tells me is: “Sir, after
raising the flag, nobody comes to bother us.” The devil knows that very well.
Now it is not we protecting ourselves. First of all what should you believe?
You should believe the rulership of God. If you are a citizen of that, who
should give protection to you, being such a citizen? That army should give. ---October

Narayanachakram.
Our flag can come only by what? It can come
only by faith. So,our Chakra, that is - chakra means: It is not the wheel of a
cart. It is a symbol: ‘NarayanaChakram’! That was the flag originally hoisted
by God when He created - with the sons ofGod. When God is removed out of the
picture, the flag has no value.
---October 08, 1988 A.M.
When this flag is hoisted, Michael angel sends his angels and says, “This is our man.”
Everybody who raises the flag, that means
they recognize that kingship. That’s a greatthing. In Burma our flag is
hoisted. Then what they had written is, they said, “We are goingto raise the
flag, whatever may come, whatever may happen to us, it is your responsibility.”Then
I had a burden, “Lord, if these fellows do something, see that nobody will kill
them.These are few souls which we have in Burma.” Then the fellow writes, “We
raised the flag.Everybody enquired. We said, “We are followers of Ahimsa. This is
the sign of our king.” Andit seems they said, “Hoist it, hoist it.”So where
does our flag fly now? It flies in Burma. It is still not flying in India. They
have
to wait for Ayyah, it seems. Will Ayyah
come and hoist it? Who hoisted it in Burma? Thefollowers. All the others have
followers, but we don’t have. But our followers are just blinkinglike this.So,
that is - He gives them power. When this flag is hoisted, who comes there to
thathouse? Michael angel sends his angels and says, “This is our man.” When the
angels say“This is our man”, it is a great privilege. “This is our house. This
is our house, don’t touchthat. Go and bang him.” That is why now the situation
is different. We only are obstructingthe way. Unless the ones who are
obstructing the way are removed, that day will not come.(2 Thessolonians 2:7)
Which day? For a time of three and a half years, devil is given greaterpower
and we are relieved. So, when we are lifted, the devil creeps in there.Till now
God didn’t allow even one rocket to go above. Now it looks like he may still
sendit up little, little. So now we are going away. Bidding farewell is over.
Don’t go to bid farewellhereafter. Already you have given farewell. But we are
sitting with Him. “You’ll overcome andsit with Me in My Throne.” If He says,
‘My Throne’, He is giving us so much power over theearth. But He has so much
power in heaven and in earth: ‘all power’. All power means: Thereis no other
power which is exempt. What is for the unseen God, all power is given to Him.If
He says one word, the whole nature helps, nature will start working
immediately; everyanimal, everything will obey. That is ‘all power’.
--- October 08, 1988 A.M.
Procession and flag hoisting
We are glad that our flag is flying. If the
leader dies, the flag is put at the half mast. But our leader is living. So it
is flying. It is not flying today; it’s flying from beginning of creation, even
today. But this had to be removed because the world became the opposite party.
People became selfish. They forgot the Lord God. So the flag was not necessary.
But today, there’s a group of people who believe in the Creator who acts
through the Lord God. So, we must know: Our God is the only Holy God. And then:
There is no sin in Him. There were nobody created in Him in the beginning.
Nobody was created in Him before, before. He was the only One created. Then He
created others. But they disobeyed Him as a King. So they had to have to go
through so many changes, and today we come to tell Him that we obey Him.
So this flag, in front of this flag means:
It cannot change. So, because this is an eternal
flag. It is not a flag which is raised and
then taken away and put by some other nation, like that. Now this is flying; it
will always fly from - through Millennium and through eternity. And this six
pointed star is our flag; it is the symbol of our flag. It is not any other
flag in this world, it’s a heavenly flag. Hindus can call a Narayana-flag. We
call it David’s flag. But the Muslims have another flag with the five pointed
star. That is: The heavenly Bride’s home. So that’s the star which is going to
come down, under the power of the Lord God.
So these are all not different things. People fight because they think it is different. Now at this time, many people who were not able to come here, they’ll be celebrating that in their own places in their houses or as a group. Remember, this is not a denomination. This is not a group. This is under the leadership of: Gathering under Lord God. Or in other words: Under Allah, or under Narayana. Let him call his God in that name. We call our God in the name of the Lord God. It is not three different Gods. It’s only the same Creator, who is living today. And He is in every place - He is a Spirit. God is a Spirit. So, since we have the Spirit today, we can recognize that God in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit. If the Spirit is not there, he doesn’t belong to God at all.
Today many people are false. They do not
the Scriptures. Scriptures means: Vedas, Bible, New Testament, Koran, all
included are called ‘Scriptures’. It is not one Book. And all speak of the same
Person who created the world. Do you love Him? If you love Him, you’ll love
among yourselves. If anybody fights like dogs and animals, you don’t belong to
Him - both of you don’t belong to Him. And I don’t hate anybody today in the
whole world. But if he is on the Word, he is My own. If he is not on the Word,
he is an outsider. He can’t come into that God’s inner heart.
Today people think, that they are also
created holy. Except the Lord God, except the
First Born, except the Son of God, nobody
was created holy. That’s why we call Him the ‘Holy One of Israel’. The Bride
was not inside that, before creation. He created. And He created all the human
beings, all the creatures. And today, we need Him. We don’t need a
denomination. We don’t need a group. You can approach Him direct today. He has
come down in this earth to touch you personally, and then take you to glory.
And those of others who don’t want Him, he’ll have to go through tribulation,
and he had to stand for the truth, to get as an earthly man.
So today, He is not showing any power, even
though He has got all power. So you can’t find Him. This is the ‘Son of God’.
But God, He is all powerful. And that all powerful God has not exhibited His
power so far. He has showed Him as a man, so that man will accept Him. But when
the time is over, man should accept Him. Then you can’t catch Him. He is not a
Man. Christ Jesus - He is the mediator - alright. He is got the - Bride also
inside as a mediator. Bride also is getting into the place as mediator. Christ
is personally a Person. The Man Christ Jesus, He is the mediator. Man means -
He doesn’t say: Man with the Bride. Remember, He was the only One created in
the beginning by the Unseen Spirit, to use Him to create. Create is create from
already things which is there. But before that, the Spirit of God who has no
form, HE could not get into anybody - but HE chose Him. That we call Narayana,
that we call Allah, that we call Christ Jesus. He is the Judge for us.
So today, in front of Him, who is My
Father, I think you all take a vow, that you’ll be true to Him, under His flag;
that you’ll be true to His voice. It is not your sins, I am not bothered about
your sins. Now this is Sin; this can never be forgiven. So Sin means:
Disobeying the command of God. Turn back to His commandments. Read the Vedas!
Read the Koran! Read the books! And then, obey what God had told mankind!
People may say, ‘Oh, that is not necessary; nature is our God.’ Nature - who created
nature? That God I worship! I have seen that God. I am His representative.
There are many people who say, they are representatives. But let them do...
When My Father shows His power, then those representatives who are supposed to
be false, then they will be revealed. But those who follow him, you are also
fallen people. But today, decide who is the true representative. If you can
find that out, you don’t find Him out by His power. Even though He has got all
the powers, you will find Him by His humility; you will find Him by His
no-power. You will find Him by His love. So God bless you. On this flag
hoisting day, in remembrance of our camp meetings, I want you all to kneel down
- that is, you know, a form of humility. Then let us humble down, and confess
all our sins, sins of disobedience - that is more important. That is the thing
which prevents rain, everything from coming. We’ll all kneel down and for a few
minutes sing that song - “PaavathinBaarathinal”. (Congregation sing the song
‘Comfort me who am stressed with a load of sin’, followed by the song ‘Amazing
Grace’.)
Now again I want to tell you: You have to
confess all your sins, all our sins which we’ve done in this body. And God
forgives that. Our God is a merciful God. Then, the ‘worst sin’ is disobeying
God’s commandment. What God has told us in the Scriptures, in the Bible, and
what He tells face to face or by voice, that’s very important. If you disobey,
that curse comes to you. So that kind of disobedience is the disobedience
against the great King who is living today. He is living today. That glory,
nobody can see. If you see, you’ll die. That is why God is going to give you
the glorious body. That is why we become flesh and bones; there is no blood in
that. When this body is dissolved, we have a body. Don’t forget - we should get
a body. We have a body. - Not for those who disobey God’s commandments and have
caste feelings, this feelings and community feelings. They don’t have it.
They’ll only form groups and denominations. They only bring divisions among
people.
Our connection is direct with our God. You
may be in London, you may be in Persia, you may be in Malaya, you may be in New
York, or you may be in any part of America or any islands or South America,
South Africa or Russia, Moscow or China. If you just think with your heart, God
touches you straight away. So no group is necessary. You gather there today,
just to remember the great sacrifice He made in the beginning. Sometimes people
become too holy than God expected. And that people - those people say, ‘Oh, we
never sinned and we never took part in the sacrifice.’ If you have never taken
part in this sacrifice, you are never an Israel of God. Then how can you be
inside Christ? Because they say, we were not so bad, and we had eternal... You
never had eternal life. But, now they think they are equal to God, which is
another false doctrine.
Remember, God created the Son of God. At
that time you were not inside. No man was inside. Then, He spoke and created
the world. And when they came out, they were selected for God. But they never
wanted to come into God. So they had to come down to the earth and God’s people
had to prove true to God, by suffering for Him on the Word. Others enjoy the
world, they’ll have everything in this world, they eat, make merry and they
think God has accepted them by their thinking. But remember, you are going to
tribulation. But the Bride will be in her home. I’ll meet you in tribulation.
Then we’ll see what is your doctrine then. God bless you.
Be true to God, and under this flag, you
make a determination. ‘Under this flag Lord,
I’ll be true to that Holy One. We are all
sinners.’ There is only one Holy One. And we got our Holiness through Him. We
didn’t get God, God came to us. He is coming to us. Every Avatar, He came to
us. Man can never reach God. God has reached us. Hallelujah, He has reached us!
He is going to take us. But be true to Him! So make your determination, as we –
music plays this song. (The song - KaalamoeSelluthae - ‘Time is passing away
and youth is fading away’ is played by the orchestra and sung by the
congregation.)
Let us pray. Loving Saviour, our Father, we
thank You for this precious hour. Your children under the flag have promised
and dedicated their life today. You are a prayer hearing God. You forgive sins.
In these days, You have said, ‘You’ll think about their sins no more,’ Thank
You Lord! Forgive the sins of all the people who come to the camp meetings! Let
the power of God fall on the people today! Let the terrific power of God, let
the cleansing power of God make them completely holy!
Father, I pray that, that if this message
is true, if these people have really confessed their sins, give us a terrific
shower these days before the camp meetings, to prove that You sent Me Lord.
Thank you for that. In the name of the Supreme Sacrifice, which was done before
the foundation of the world for the blessings of the created human beings, by
You Holy One alone. - Others are not holy; they became sinful by disobedience.
But, that Sacrifice gave us 100% holiness. And we also get that holiness
through that. Thank You heavenly Father! Bless us and confirm us and give us a
token Lord! Thank You Jesus. Amen.
Let’s praise God. (Congregation praises
God.) (The song ‘Parakkuthae, paarellamanbukodee’ -’The love flag flies all
over the world’ is sung by the congregation.) You can move on while singing.
...We pray that You bless us. At this time
Lord, in Your name we are raising this flag specially. In these camp meetings,
that we should be protected by Your heavenly hosts Lord we pray. Lord we
praise, because you have encamped around us. Bless us! Protect all those who
belong to this group in the whole world. In these dangerous days we praise for
giving us power, that neither weapons nor any other things, nor atomic weapons
could damage us. In the Aadhi Bali name of Jesus Christ, in the name of Christ
Jesus, in Your name, the name of the King - who is sitting on as the Overcomer,
we pray, our living Father! Amen. (Flag is being hoisted and the congregation
clap their hands. After hoisting, many songs are sung by the congregation.)
...telling, ‘He is good! Praise Him! His mercy endureth forever!’ - It should
be in each one’s mouth. That is our Mantra. That is the blessing which we got
through Aadhi Bali - right. It should come from each one of your mouths -
Praise the Lord! - That is: ‘Our Lord God alone is Holy! Holy! Holy! Praise
Him, He is good! His mercy endureth forever! (Congregation repeats it)...
Our Lord God alone is Holy! Holy! Holy! Our
Lord God alone is Holy! Holy! Holy! Our
Lord God alone is Holy! Holy! Holy!...
Let us praise God for sometime. Praise God
for giving us the good Tree of life! Our Lord God is Holy! Holy! Holy! The Holy
One of Israel is Holy! Holy! Praise Him! He is good! His mercy endureth forever!
Lord God, the Father of Son of David, our Lord who is omnipresent, the Lord who
lives in us, praise Him! He is good, praise Him! Hallelujah, praise the Lord!
...And He must go before us. And we must
know that - proclaim to everyone that our
God is Holy, and He is the holy One of
Israel. And also, He is our God of our gentiles. And He has proved it today,
that He doesn’t remember our sins any more even though we are gentiles. Because
we are of the original stock of the Israel, scattered because of the sins of
our forefathers.
So today is a repentance day, specially for
our forefathers sins. And on this Sabbath day, God has promised that if we keep
the Sabbath, He’ll restore us the kingdom. And thank God, because He has
restored our kingdom back and we got the kingdom, both in heaven and in the
earth today. Let us loudly praise God, for the earth shall ring with His
praises! And let this camp meetings be a blessed camp meeting for the whole
India and the whole world. And heaven is watching us... And let us be careful
to give Him the glory - to our Father. And today I want to tell you, that our
God is a Holy God, and He is all over the world. He can touch everybody and
everything in this world by His Spirit, and we cannot reach that Spirit except
through the Lord God. And He is the only One created holy. And that holiness He
imparts to the creation of the Human Bride. Thereby He is uniting the earthly
Bride with the heavenly Bridegroom.
Now as you go round this Ashram land, we
know that His angels are already encamped here roundabout. And we are asking
His protection in these meetings. And also for the climate to be good in those
days.That we must need rain before that, so that the ground will be wet. And
then the real thunder message will be revealed in these meetings. So I want
everyone of you to pray or fast or do anything so that the thunders will be
completely revealed to give the glory to all the dead saints to rise up in
their places. Thank God and be grateful to God for revealing His thunders to us.
Let us be thankful for that most merciful God. Everybody take away your pride.
Be humble. Humble people only get everything from God. Proud people are
rejected by God. Pride about your community, pride about you family, pride
about your religion and pride about everything - God hates. And today, God as
revealed the Bible to us more than anybody, anywhere, anything. Not because I
am good; not because I am a special man; but I come in the David’s line. People
think that only white people come in the David’s line. But we come directly in
that Nathan’s line.
So let us all thank God for remembering the
promises to our forefathers. And even though we are small, He has given every
power to us. All power in heaven and earth has been bestowed on us. So above
us, there is a God - the unseen Spirit. He is our Creator. Let us bow down and
worship Him. And let us all think, that I am not God. I also worship God like
you. But specially in Me, that great unseen Spirit dwells in Me. And in you
also, the Spirit of the Holy Ghost is in you. You are not made holy. So don’t
think you are holy before the foundation of the world. Through the Holy Ghost,
God doesn’t think about our sins any more. And because of the Spirit of the
Lord, God doesn’t think about it, completely, He doesn’t count your sins any
more. So let us all be thankful always. That is the purpose of this great
procession. We are all people who know the message. Let us cooperate together.
Let us not fight with each other. Let us love everybody. Let us have that unfeigned
love. Everybody throughout the world, who is celebrating this Sabbath, and also
who is celebrating the KalkiJeyanthi and this 21st July of God coming down, it
is not my birthday, it is the day of God coming down - is the birthday of that
who has no birthday. So, that is our consolation. So let us all who celebrate
throughout the world, rejoice.
We may be small. But the Bible says and the
Scriptures and Vedas say, the future is ours. Not by weapons but by the Lord
God and His army. So let us all call the army of the Lord God. Let us pray that
the multitude of heavenly hosts come to be among His devotees all over the
world. And God will really grant that. If anybody aims anything at us, and we
don’t fight for that, God will fight.
Our angels are always looking sharp at our
enemies. You don’t want to see them. And God has promised that He will be
encamping round us and all over the place wherever we are. One angel is enough
to destroy the whole India. He is more powerful than atomic bombs or any other
bombs or any inventions in this world. So forget your fear, and believe Him.
And believe that Lord God is everything for us. And inside Him, the unseen
Spirit, He created you, He created Me, He created everything. So let us all
worship Him and kneel down and say, ‘Thank You Lord!’ at the flag, and make a
new determination. God bless you. God bless you.

GEETANJALI
SONG 51
The night darkened. Our day’s works had
been done. We thought that the last guest had arrived for the night and the
doors in the village were all shut. Only some said the king was to come. We
laughed and said ‘No, it cannot be!’ It seemed there were knocks at the door
and we said it was nothing but the wind. We put out the lamps and lay down to
sleep. Only some said, ‘It is the messenger!’ We laughed and said ‘No, it must
be the wind!’ There came a sound in the dead of the night. We sleepily thought
it was the distant thunder. The earth shook, the walls rocked, and it troubled
us in our sleep. Only some said it was the sound of wheels. We said in a drowsy
murmur, ‘No, it must be the rumbling of clouds!’ The night was still dark when
the drum sounded. The voice came ‘Wake up! delay not!’ We pressed our hands on
our hearts and shuddered with fear. Some said, ‘Lo, there is the king’s flag!’
We stood up on our feet and cried ‘There is no time for delay!’ The king has
come—but where are lights, where are wreaths? Where is the throne to seat him?
Oh, shame! Oh utter shame! Where is the hall, the decorations? Someone has
said, ‘Vain is this cry! Greet him with empty hands, lead him into thy rooms
all bare!’ Open the doors, let the conch-shells be sounded! in the depth of the
night has come the king of our dark, dreary house. The thunder roars in the
sky. The darkness shudders with lightning. Bring out thy tattered piece of mat
and spread it in the courtyard. With the storm has come of a sudden our king of
the fearful night.
Faith of Burmese.
But one thing I know: “If you are in us!”
That means, if you are people in Christ Jesus,
inNarayana, two or three things can be
promised. What? Deathlessness! When there is love on you, nothing can separate
us. If that love comes, I can’t be without you, you can’t be without Me. So
here, prayer and every other thing is not important; but whether you have that
love? You may be in London or America or Malaya or Burma.
There is a brother called Ronald Taylor in
Burma. He was so mad that he wanted to
come to Ashram. So he crossed the border.
Our Indian people handed him over to Burma police. In fact he entered inside
India. So they took him into the prison and beat him like anything. So he is
now in Burma. He was not quiet; he brought many Burma people. So he said, “In
this fight, we are also going to hoist our flag.” Then I thought, “It looks
like he will learn a good lesson! Why is he going to raise the flag there in
Burma?” So he gave the secret address in India and said, “Any letter there will
reach me.” So they wrote to me: “You have not written even a single letter. In
so many years we have not received even one letter from you. So write with your
own hand and send.” So they wrote: “On this day we are going to hoist the
flag.” So I was fasting and praying. They said! How did the people come? This
fellow took that letter and prayed: “Lord, speak to that brother who is forty
miles away and bring him! In Lawrie Krishna’s name!” Then from the flag which
he had hoisted, it seems a red coloured light was emanating from that. So he
told the believers there, “I am going forty miles by bus, and there is a
message for me, the flag is telling.” So they said, “We have got the message
from Mr. Lawrie for the first time. Now we are happy. We will surely go in glory.”
Now you see the faith of those people! Till now I have not seen any of them.
But even after not seeing them, see their faith! But there are many people
close by, they don’t know the message even; they don’t believe the message
even. So now, we are different. We belong to a different country now. We have a
King, and we have come to the earth. We have our own flag; we have our own
thinking; we have our own law, which connects heaven with us.
--- December 10, 1988 A. M.
Y Flag stands
for victory.
Y Our Flag
is not a fighting Flag.
Y Then God
will reclaim us back to our original position. That is the significance of our
flag.
Y Because
the flag has been hoisted, the people will be coming from far.
Y So it is
not because you raise the flag; but if you are a seed only you have the
protection.
Y Our flag
already exists, registered in heaven.
Y It is
flying from eternity to eternity.
Y Why did
we put saffron colour? That depicts the sacrifice.
Y If that
flag is torn away by somebody, that means, you are only a hay.
Y If you
believe the Aadhi Bali, no flag can be removed by anybody. Because it is a
King’s flag. It will be protected by the angels.
Y When
this flag is hoisted, Michael angel sends his angels and says, “This is our
man.”
Y So you
have time till they rise up. And flag is hoisted; the time is run out.
Y When the
earth went into the control of others, God had to take the flag away.
Y Raising
the flag is not a great thing - raising the flag. The meaning is you must obey
the King.
Y If the
flag is hoisted, that means that country is conquered.
Y The
symbol of the flag is eternal. That is why we put the circle round the flag.
Y The difference between our Flag and the
flags of the other countries is that when any leader dies, their flags fly at
half-mast. But our Flag will never fly at half-mast because the sleeping saints
will rise soon and the living Bride will be glorified without death.
All Glory and Honour to our LORD GOD SHRI
LAHARI KRISHNA.
With
Love
In the
Lord
Brother Babu Ram
