God Needs Liberation, Too

"No matter how many times I may have said that I want to liberate God, God says, 'All right. Before you consider liberating me, please take care of the problems of the world first. Then come and tell me that you want to liberate me.' This is why I have sought out the most difficult problems of the world and taken them upon my shoulders."

Many people and nations may wonder how such a country with such a young government ever came to power as America in a few short hundred years.  America was started with the founding heart of rebels.  People who left their country who wanted to serve God and not the church on a new land.  Their reference to God and the Bible in their laws and in their way of life is directly correlated to the country's rapid growth and dominance in world. 

Fast forward not too far into the future and America's biggest problem is the loss of the order and discipline of love and the lack of a guiding clear philosophy of life.  True Love has been downgraded in our ways of life and through the media.  There are many religions, but no guiding principle of how individuals express their love on a brother, matrimonial and parental level.  In order for every person to experience true, lawful love, we need to restore its discipline and order.  In addition, the majority of the population lack a superior philosophy of life, and thus life their life day to day without a central, guiding principle.

The other problem in the world today is communism.  The walls came tumbling down, but communism still spreads its atheistic viewpoint like a poison to the world.  We live in a free country that practices freedom of speech and faith, but everyday we lose religious freedom in all facets of life as the atheistic viewpoint takes over our country.

Satan's vehicle is communism, and he must be driven out.  The faithful must reestablish the order of love and restore the eternal unchanging ideology which is the central theme of all human life.  This is not an easy task. 

The only way for change is for the Messiah to return and guide humanity to solve these problems.  That's right, for us to pick up our plows and begin the work of recreation.  If restoring the world was easy with the snap of God's finger, the world would have been restored in the garden of Eden and God would have never given us free will to choose to live by His rules.

Because God gave His children freedom to choose His way or the satanic way, when we chose satan's words over His in the garden and to this day, it essentially placed God in a prison not of his own making.  A prison where he watches His children get murdered, become reckless and live individual lives without His purpose and die and go to hell.

So, God is all powerful, but gave His children 5% responsibility to go after that power. 


The Order of Love

When the Messiah returns, his first task is to restore the central ideology which will lead humanity to reestablish the order and discipline of love.  Then humanity will be able to return to the true, lawful love.

The second responsibility to return order to the world is to chase out satan. 

What about you? Are you restoring the order and discipline of love within the realm of your life and activity? You need the Marriage Blessing given directly by God in order to do begin the true work of recreation of your lineage. The Blessing is the pinnacle in your course of restoring love.

These are not my ideals and concepts, but those taught by the Returned Messiah.  These teachings explain what the world should be like, what the nation should be like, and how society should function and how each of us should live. 

These teachings of the Divine Principle which is based on the bible is the basis of each of Achieve World Peace blogs.   The central theme is the ideal pattern for individuals, societies, nations, the world and even the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.  Each of these facets has a clear-cut formula to follow to return to true love.

Right now, religion is trying to banish Satan from this world, day in and day out.  You and others are waging a "Knock Out Satan" campaign whenever you restore the order of love and the ideology of God.  On the other side of that, satan is always trying to promote illicit and abnormal love.  Abnormal is when objects just float around without following any principle and is confusing front and back, right and left.

What is abnormal love?

The evidence is evident in our nation when it is 'normal' for a gentleman to sleep with one woman one night and prowls for another every night.  Also, when one has sexual relations with a family member or homosexuality tendencies.  These are just a few examples of abnormal illicit love that has nothing to do with God's original love.  Even though these practices have become the norm, it goes against God's purpose of creation and ideal of love.

How many of us desire and hope for any type of these loves?  Does society agree that these few examples are abnormal type of love or normal?  Society has deemed that temporary, illicit love is in fact normal behavior. 

If one is not clear on the distinction of abnormal and normal love, satan will keep following them until they fully practice the normal way of love.  Once true normal love is practiced which begins with living for the sake of others, then satan can no longer follow that person.  How can he follow someone who does not have his traits?

When we live for a selfish purpose, only looking out for ourselves, we make it easy for satan to always be right behind us.  There is a remedy for anyone following the wrong path.  Once we start living for the sake of others, satan must retreat.  This is the dividing line. 

Satan can not claim someone who is living for the sake of the whole and for others.  Once you are living for the sake of all people of the world, the entire world will welcome you and satan will have to go away.

Since the world is entrenched deeply in sin, how do we save the world and then release God from the prison in which we have placed Him?  We have been discussing about the two principal needs of mankind: liberation from illicit love and liberation from the bondage of false ideology. 

When mankind is liberated, satan will leave completely.  He will not have a source to attach and have give and take relations to exist.  The presence and existence of satan who was formerly the good angel Lucifer is the main cause of God's imprisonment.

How is it possible for God to be imprisoned?  Because God gave you and I free will to follow Him or not, we chose to not follow God and satan has complete control over God's creation.  Does this sound like freedom for either humanity or God?  It look as if the only winner is satan.

As soon as Satan leaves, God will stand up and slowly walk out to greet us. "Finally I'm free!" He will say. "I have no more worries in the world! Who did it? The Messiah, the Second Advent did. He liberated me!"

Liberation

Until now, you didn't fully comprehend what I meant by the liberation of God and mankind or even knew that God required to be rescued from slavery as well. You didn't know the definition of liberation. By establishing the central ideology that restores the discipline of love and expels Satan, you are liberating mankind and liberating God. Is the task easy or difficult?



When every individual receives this ideology and puts it into practice, there will be no room for Satan. God will be welcomed everywhere. That is how liberation will take place. So to liberate mankind means to liberate God. The two liberations are simultaneous; they are not separate events. One solution will suffice.

Therefore, why do you go out to witness? It is to accomplish this very task. You witness for the liberation of mankind and the liberation of God. Who is working hard and daily for the direct liberation of God, those who accept and practice the words of the Returned Messiah who reveals the hidden truth that the disciples of Jesus' time did not have the ears to hear or the heart to believe.


Digest Everything Through Love

There are many wars, but the world is embroiled in an ideological war. There is a conflict between the God-accepting ideology and the God-denying ideology, between democracy and communism. What is the ideology of the Returned Messiah? Completely on the opposite spectrum, it  is Unificationism. We are bringing everything into harmony and unity. The role of our ideology is to digest everything; it is a "melting pot" ideology.

Reverend Moon the author of the Divine Principle said, "I have a healthy stomach: I can take in everything and digest it. I can eat hot pepper sauce and Korean kimchee, and at the same time I can eat cheese and bread. It makes no difference; everything can be digested into one stomach. Such a stomach is ideal, isn't it? You must be able to digest everything to be an ideal person. What kind of person are you?"
