So, we are told, “Set your hope fully upon the Grace that is coming to you at the Revelation of Jesus Christ” (First Peter 1:13, Revised Standard Version). If any one would ask me tonight to advise him as to what he should want in this world, I would quote that passage: Set your hope fully upon the Grace that is coming to you at the Revelation – “ the unveiling – of Christ.” Well, who is He? Your own wonderful I-Am-ness! Christ is God the Father. Well, if He is God the Father, He has to have a Son. Don’t tell me you are a father and there is no son to bear witness of your fatherhood. So, is He really a father? Is He really in me? Yes, He’s in thee, and He’s a father. Well, where is it said in Scripture that Jesus Christ is a father? Did it name his son? Yes, it did, if one reads it carefully. ... No, David is the second event. The birth comes first. In fact, strangely enough, in the Resurrection – man in the Resurrection is above the organization of sex. He’s not a male. I’m not speaking of a male; I’m speaking of Man. You are Man, but on this level, you are a female. I am Man, but on this level I am male. Now, don’t confuse male with man, for God is Man. And so, when you see David, even though you be woman, you will know that you are the father of David. Strangely enough, it will not strike you funnily or in some strange way; it will be the most natural thing in the world, because you are God, and God is Man. This division is only on this level, but man in the Resurrection is above the organization of sex; and, so, the second great event is the coming of David; the third is the splitting of the Temple of your body from top to bottom and the ascent, like a serpent, into heaven; and the fourth is the descent of the dove. And the dove smothers you with affection. That is the symbol of the Holy Spirit accepting you completely – the seal of approval of the work that he’s done. So, these are the four major ones. After that, you fulfill Scripture in many ways; but these are the four major ones – the Four Mighty Acts of God, unveiling Himself in you as you.
The 'Promise' is the ultimate spiritual awakening, a series of four mystical experiences that unveil one's true identity as God. These 'Four Mighty Acts' are: 1) The Birth (of the Christ child within), 2) The Revelation of David (as one's son, confirming one's Fatherhood), 3) The Splitting of the Temple (the body), and the Ascent (as a serpent into heaven), and 4) The Descent of the Dove (symbolizing the Holy Spirit's complete acceptance). These events unfold within the individual, proving they are God, the Father.
