Three powerful Hagar women. Thank you for supporting FatherHurley.com. While going through my prayer and meditation this morning three powerful Hagar women came to me in the spirit.

The first to come was Reverend Gussie E. Collier, past Supreme Mother of the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church, and pastor of Temple #9 Springfield, Ohio. When she came I could hear her saying, “Glory hallelujah! Glory hallelujah! Glory hallelujah!” She was a women of great wisdom. She knew how to remain silent, though she knew what was right. Every once and a while she would go ahead and speak her mind to the assembly. She was one that always tried to show me and teach me the right way. She encouraged me to live the right kind of life and to stay strong in the faith. Whatever success I do have, some of it has to be attributed to Supreme Mother Collier.

After that I could hear, “Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”; that was Reverend Ruby Robbins, past Princess of Illinois and pastor of Temple #1 Chicago. I could see her at the Supreme Temple, during the conventions, being overshadowed by the spirit. Sometimes she would be so high in the spirit, even after everyone else had taken their seat, she would remain on her feet saying, “Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”

Finally, Princess Ida Lee Childs came in forcefully. She came saying, “What’s yours is yours and no one can take it from you.” She said these words to me back in April 1995, seven months after the passing of my grandmother, Princess Georgia Latimer. The Wisemen Board was in the midst of a recess, and I had come in for something (I can’t remember for what now). She beaconed for me. I sat next to her and she said, “George. What’s yours is yours and no one can take it from you.” Today, I could hear those words over and over in my mind. A smile came upon my face as I heard her voice (and I feel good about it).

As I was coming out of meditation, I heard the mantra Princess Childs gave after all the Blessing Services she conducted, “Thank you Hurley. Thank you Hurley. Thank you Hurley….” However, I did not hear it her way, I heard it the way Professor John Wiley (my godfather) arranged it. When Princess Aquart conducted the Blessing in the April 2006 convention, she said the mantra. Professor Wiley put a jazzy-gospel organ feel behind it. The whole convention sang to it as if it were an old classic. (As soon as I can, I will learn the chords, and make a quick video to let you hear it.) May God bless you all.

Remember the words of Princess Childs, “What’s yours is yours and no one can take it from you.” Oh, people can take things. They can take your car. They can take your clothes. They can take houses and land. But no one can take the gifts that God has given you. No one can take your talents. No one can take your drive. No one can take your determination. No one can take your will. No one can take your spirit. No one can take your life. Even if someone were to kill your mortal body, your spirit would live on and on.

What’s yours is yours and no one can take it from you. Three powerful Hagar women. Thank you Father Hurley. Amen. Amen. Amen.

I have the honor to be your obedient servant,
Reverend George H. Latimer-Knight

A special thanks to all those who have served in the military. Whether we, the citizens, agree with any particular war or military action, the soldiers are doing their duty. We are free today because of the sacrifices of the military.

I am free to proclaim and preach the Gospel of Christ because our sons and daughters gave their time, service, and many their very lives. I feel like holy dancing right now. Hallelujah! God bless you vetrans. We love you! Amen. Amen. Amen.

As I woke up around 3am, I could hear a saxophone playing. As my eyes opened I saw a tall man seemingly in the distance. Continuing to look it occurred to me that it was the late Father Bernard Lucas of the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church in Chicago, Illinois. He was wearing a dark suit, and had on a white dress shirt with the top button open. As his face became clearer, the sweat was pouring down his face as he was playing his melody. He was playing with such intensity.

Whatever you do in life, do it with intensity. Have a vision for your life and go after it. Focus all your energy into it. Whatever it is, let it be your passion, something you love. Father Lucas loved music. I do not remember much about him, because I had not started visiting Chicago at that time. But the times I was around him, he came across as a loving man. I know his spirit is still watching over his family. Be like Father Lucas, be intense with whatever you. And with that intensity, add love. Your obedient servant, Rev. George Latimer-Knight

Reverend Janie Lowe, In Memoriam
Princess Ida Lee Childs, In Memoriam

Reverend Janie Lowe was tried by life on numerous occasions, and was found to be true. She was a longstanding member of the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church. Her husband Reverend Thomas Lowe was the first State Prince of Michigan.

Reverend Lowe loved Father Hurley and the truth he brought forth. She served in many capacities in the church. Mother Hurley taught her how to cook and care for her family. She even assisted Mother Hurley in making the robes and other religious vestments. She stood by her husband as he ministered in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other parts of the country.

Reverend Janie Lowe became a pastor herself. She served in Lima, Ohio and lastly pastored Temple #9 in Detroit, Michigan. She also proudly served as Assistant Supreme Mother of the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church.

On a personal note, she was present when I had my first confirmed experience in seeing a spiritual manifestation. I was around eight or nine at the time. Reverend Lowe and another loyal member, Madam Hattie Fields were cooking at the Headquarters Church. I was just sitting there listening to their wise conversation. I happened to look up and by one of the counters I saw a shadow figure. It was an all black humanoid figure with bright blue eyes like headlights. It placed both hands on the counter then ran through the doorway, out of sight. Before I could say anything, Madam Fields asked Reverend Lowe casually, “Did you see that?” She answered in her dignified voice, “Yes. And its alright.” I never said a word. I know what I saw, and I knew they saw it too.

The spiritual faith is real. That experience could have been a frightful one. However, Reverend Lowe’s, and Madam Fields’, calm reaction let me know there is nothing wrong with the spirit. Thanks to that experience I have no fear of spiritual manifestations, and no doubt that they are real. I can here Reverend Lowe preaching these words, “I am God all by myself. I don’t need your help.” (cf. Isaiah 44:6,8; 45:5) God’s Word will go forth, whether we preach it or not. Reverend Lowe made the right choice and preached the Word of Life to all she knew. Let us all follow her example of love, strength, and courage, and do the same. Amen. Amen. Amen.

I have the honor to be your obedient servant,
Reverend George Hubert Latimer-Knight

Father George W. Hurley Memorial 2007. A prophet does more than predict the future. A prophet is one with God, and loves all of God’s creation. Father Hurley, founder of the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church, was/is a true loving Prophet. Amen.
