“The gist of a sermon is simple and does not even require a fifteen minute talk. I speak that long because I try to make it easy for different types of people, for those who have come to hear, to understand the gist by explaining to them using many examples, and to have them participate within that sphere.
“The purpose is to sow as many seeds as possible in the spring season. If I sow many seeds, many plants will grow.”
Where must you sow the seeds, then? It must be an unspoiled place. Where is that?
The time of adolescents.
Once you sow seeds in the young people, this fruit will last a lifetime and will never be uprooted.
When is the time people are most sensitive?
In elementary school.
In the time of middle and high school, our senses become duller. At the time of university, it is like passing a village, like an activity.
The most difficult time is during elementary school.
Next is during middle and high school. As time goes by, their senses dull. We must sow the seeds of life accordingly.
You can accumulate eternal assets for the future through teaching children at Sunday school children songs and tell them stories or such things.
Testify to God’s word every time you meet elderly people.
Members are not doing these things well. You can witness better when you to take the bus or subway than driving your car and talk to ten people, ask them question and get to know them.
You can arrange to see them and introduce the Principle, the Completed Testament to them. There is enough material for you to witness as much as you want.
When you commute on the same route everyday for twelve months a year, you get to recognize and know people by their faces and tap into an interactive network. Why do you waste time when this path is cleared?
More important than eating is harvesting the citizens of heaven.
This is our main occupation while on earth is to witness God’s word.
Among all of the works you do in your lifetime, this is more important than a job, making money or power.
Money becomes useless in the next world, things and knowledge are also unnecessary.
In the spirit world, your mind knows ahead of time everything within a week without being taught.
What is needed there is love-centered harmonizing power, love-centered influential power.
Therefore, those who do not have love-centered influential will not be able to harmonize with the original world that move by the influence of love.
They will be repelled when they arrive to spirit world and end up in hell.
“You say you have lived and worked for the Unification Church ever since you joined it, but you should consider in what position you have worked. Always ask yourselves in which direction you are headed and in which position you are located.
“If you do that prayerfully, God will be with you. You will know it the moment you close your eyes -- even without praying.
“As you go somewhere to give a talk, the right word just flow out of your mouth. If you come across conscientious people, you are drawn to enter their houses.”
Everything seeks relationship.
Even flowers have the power of attraction to create relationships.
A magnet in essence is eternally unchanging.
Even if you see someone for the first time, it does not mean that you cannot relate to that person.
If you go to such a place, you feel joyful and are inspired to speak.
What will you say to God who has been working to restore us with great pains to this day find Adam?
Since the beginning of time, God has been looking for a perfect son.
“You all know the Principle. This is the weapon that can save countless people. Until now, God could not teach humankind and consequently had to guide the work of redemption amid ignorance.”
God’s words in the Principle is an enlightened path that can assemble a following of hundreds and thousands of Adams. We must connect them to eternal life.
The topic of eternal life is a serious matter.
When you are with your contacts, have the heart that wants to convey the Principle to them all night without getting tired. Go all out and inspire them at your first meeting.
You should not be doing anything other than finding sons and daughters whom you can take with you to heaven.
If you had hundreds of millions of dollars and lived richly, that will all pass away in the next world.
Invest all your materials, knowledge and your very lives all at one time to create heavenly citizens.
How much you invest will be proportional to the amount of your input your input.
It is shameful for you members to proudly fancy yourselves.
How many lives have you saved from your own efforts?
The degree to which you will be praised eternally before heaven for your achievements depends on how many heavenly citizens you harvested.
There had no been a way to harvest them until now.
They could not do it because they did not know, but with the Principle you have an A-frame carrier on your back.
You can bring in an explosive harvest once you start spreading God's words passionately.
However, because you are wasting time even with that kind of real internal power, God wants to strike you with a thunderbolt.
It matters not whether it is midnight or dawn, whether night or day. When Heaven is ready to receive you, you cannot say to Him, "Oh, I just want to sleep!" In that position, you just run straight through.
We must provide education concerning the issue of eternal life.
“From now on, assume that responsibility. I cannot curse those who oppose the Unification Church. God wants them to connect with me and commit themselves, but if they drop out that is our church's responsibility and I must assume responsibility for that.
“This world came to oppose us: because of Satan, but it is our responsibility to overcome those adverse circumstances quickly. If we do not, our situation will be all the more miserable from the resultant damage it will sustain.”
It is the same as nursing a baby. If you give birth to a baby, you have to nurse it. That is why people come looking for you.
Therefore, when they do, never treat them coldly.
