A True Family is the Kingdom of Heaven

The beginning point of Kingdom of Heaven is not based on an individual or nation, but a family. 

Jesus knew this and sought to work through the relationship of a bride and a groom on earth.  

Is the starting point through an individual?  

No, it is a family.  The family is the basic foundation for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Once you visit the Kingdom of Heaven where there is only unity, you will never want to return back.  

You will never tire of dwelling there with God’s beloved.

If all of humankind wanted to live and meet there, then the world will unify quickly.

This does not happen all at once.  

First, an individual must unite his warring mind and body or flesh and extended this through the family, national and worldwide levels. 

Your family represents the sovereignty of heaven:

Parents represent sovereignty, children represent the nation and your possessions represent the land.  To be dutiful toward your parents means to be loyal to the nation and to practice being saints.  This was the original ideal world.

Instead, we have fallen families that are the origin of disgraceful behavior.  God truly believes that the family can be the sacred site to turn all of history around.

Our mission is to guide all corrupted families in the fallen world toward the heavenly path.  We do not have the right to turn away from them.

These three, parents, children and belongings are necessary components defining the boundary of a family.

A husband’s duty is to relate to the church, and his wife should tend to the material.

Then the family members should become completely one.  This is where the Kingdom of Heaven starts at this point.

Heaven is only established if a couple becomes one centering upon God’s love.

This union can never be dissolved and it will never split.

What kind of love are you centered upon?  

If you found God’s love, your mind and body are completely one so He can dwell completely in you.

The Kingdom of Heaven is realized through a family where a father and mother are completely one through God’s love and the children love them.

“As Father did when he started the Unification Church, you must take sincere care of your friends when they visit your house. You have to make them say, "Your house is better than mine. This meal is more delicious than at my house. Can I stay here one more night?" 

“When you make your house a place where every guest or friend wants to come and live, even abandoning their own families, you have the Kingdom of Heaven of a family.”

We don't need so many people in the church. The Kingdom of Heaven starts not from the church but from a family -- namely, from a bridegroom and a bride. 

The woman was born to see a man and a man born to see a woman.

The first person on earth a baby sees when he or she is born is ‘mommy’.  A couple should treat each other in a way that the husband calls the wife the same way the baby calls their mother and vice versa.

A couple that lives in this way will not envy young couples when they get older.

The whole family should participate in worship service and learn from exemplary families and guide the families that are in a bad situation.  This way, we establish the kingdom of Heaven of the family.

The Kingdom of Heaven on earth cannot be established without the Kingdom of Heaven of the family.

Do not forget the dignity you have as a family member.

Heaven begins from the family and nowhere else.  You must think that whenever you embrace your spouse, it is in order for the men and women of the world to become one.

The family is the place where you can set the condition to love the whole of humankind.

Reach the status where you can even feel God’s mind, heart and appearance and His suffering as your own mind, heart, appearance and suffering.

This should be accomplished here on earth.

“Now Heavenly Father feels that I should teach the norm for life in the Kingdom of Heaven. People in the restoration course should learn from those who are expert in the Principle. 

“Father cannot be responsible directly for those problems. That age already has passed. The organization of the Unification Church is the organization of a family. The Unification Church is centered upon a family, not upon an individual, which has been the center so far.”

Where is the Kingdom of Heaven? 

It is not in the sky. 

It is the place where the father, mother and children experience 100% joy when they use all things for life and for ideal situations.

What does God’s ideal world look like?

It is a place where Heaven on earth is founded upon the True Parents who have reversed the fall of the first false parents.

The Kingdom of Heaven is established only through the foundation of love. 

There is no trace of such love in the fallen world or spirit world.

No one has received the love of true parents on earth and spirit world until the Second Coming of the Messiah to make a way.

In God’s original world, man’s love, woman’s love, son’s love, daughter’s love, parents’ love and God’s love were part of the original family.

When one loves parents, spouse and children in such a harmonized place leads a life of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

You are qualified to go to Heaven when you respect your spousal love and parental love.  We can create a unified house of love.

Grandparents hand love down to the parents, the parents hand down love to a husband and a wife.  The couple hands down love to children.

To deny any of these denies the establishment of Heaven.

The world is afraid of the Unification Church and owes the families that were blessed in marriages more than the Principle.  

The Messiah and the blessed families become one in love centering upon God's love. 

The Messiah, the blessed couples, and the blessed children: these three generations are connected to be one in love on earth. 

The Unification Church is the place where three generations can be linked.  When three generations live together in happiness, the ideal of creation is realized. 

Husband and wife should love one another and pray for their children with love and take sincere care of them.  This will create a harmonious family and perfect love is established.

Cousins and second cousins should become one in love and form the perfect shape of love.

The Unification Church regards the tribe as the start of the Kingdom of Heaven.

When parents, brothers, cousins and second cousins become one centering upon the grandfather, a perfect three generations are established. 

A wife must serve her grandparents-in-law and parents-in-law in place of God and her husband.  

She must also harmonize with the sisters-in-law and brother-in-laws.  When this kind of relationship expands to the society, nation an world, this becomes a world of peace and love - not crime and war.

The Kingdom of Heaven of a family is established when a man and a woman are completely one.

Husband, wife and children should center upon God’s Will for the sake of humankind.

We work for the sake of humankind’s salvation, not only for God.  God’s dreams is to find a family that has such a standard.  If we do not have such a heavenly family on earth, then God cannot save all of humankind nation and families.

Such families were raised by the Messiah of the Second Coming that center on God.  These blessed families should strive to lead a life that is connected to God’s nation.

The heavenly nation and world is established from their existence and when we work for others.  The family is responsible for organizing the world centered upon God.

The members of the Unification Church centered upon the Messiah’s word which is like a tribe and a nation following God.

The Unification Church’s role is to form a nation for God that is composed of five races that is united and can work for the sake of the whole world.

The purpose of the Messiah returning is God wants to accomplish this through his bringing God’s new truth to the earth testified in the Book of Revelations in the Bible.

Redemption Through Marriage

Of all the awesome powers of love, sexual love is perhaps the most formidable. 

Sex does not only embed the impulse to bond for life, but also with the creation of life itself through the passing down of the parent’s genes and lineage.

Many nonreligious wrongly believe that religions teach that sex itself is wrong or bad.  This is not entirely correct.

Before the Fall, God had created sex to be experienced greatly between spouses.  After the Fall, sex was deemed as dirty because it brought about sin into the world of God’s heaven.

Sex in a committed relationship of a man and woman bonding the two partners together in deep communion and joy. 

As a matter of fact, sexuality itself taps into the deepest aspects of being human.

It is a power as deep and elemental as the wind or the sea and just as impossible to tame or even fully comprehend.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to educate for true love which imparts insight about sexuality and coaches people how to direct this marvelous force created by God.

When sex is within the rightful place of marriage, it is an expression of the deepest trust and affection.  It bonds

Sex outside of marriage, on the other hand, is like a fire outside of its hearth.  Outside a godly union, sex becomes a threat to all concerned.

Since sex is a highly pleasurable and primal urge, one should be well disciplined about its power to prevent the conscience to be overridden by

Sex outside of marriage, on the other hand, is like a fire outside of its hearth.  Outside a godly union, sex becomes a threat to all concerned.

Since sex is a highly pleasurable and primal urge, one should be well disciplined about its power to prevent the conscience to be overridden by complusiveness.

Spouses’ physical communion is the origin of families that in turn are the schools for learning love and what it means to be human. 

The destructive outcome of sex outside of marriage is the main reason religious traditions and societies provide strict guidelines for sexual expression.

“The moral man,” reads a Confucianist text, “finds the moral law beginning in the relation between man and woman” (Doctrine of the Mean 12).

Even with all the education and warnings, it is a challenge to keep sexuality within the service of true love.

Because sexuality brings great pleasure, it invites single people every manner to misuse it out of the context of God's love.

Once no marital sex introduces distorted sexual attitudes and behaviors to the person who uses their whole being in the act, these ideals become deeply rooted and hard to change.

In an ever-growing society of ‘whatever goes’, it has become more difficult to celebrate sexuality while at the same times staying away from selfishness.

The Fall involved a man and a woman’s selfish desires away from God’s ideal.

Sex is an instinctual urge, yet it allows a couple to co-create an eternal being along with God.

Sex craves bodily expression of the person and a sensual play, and a fount of carnal delight but it is also an impulse towards oneness.

At the same time it invites an individual the possibility of moral and spiritual growth within the realm of the spouses’ and parents’ world or realm of heart.



God and Human Sexuality

The sexual act has great and unique significance to the Creator.

This is fully understood when we consider lovemaking between a fully mature husband and wife.

Such individuals will already have achieved unity of their mind and body, including their word and actions.  Each will stand as a living mirror of the fullness of the Divine Parent’s heart and character.

Their character will resonate with the greater integrity within God.

Each person would be in communion with Him and attract His joy and blessing, but this would be amplified when they entered the marriage bed.

At the moment they are united sexually, the spirit and flesh join in their deepest oneness.  Therefore, the couple would be an even greater reflection of the Divine than the moment before.

Through a marital couple’s lovemaking, it represents the celebration of self-giving.

Naturally, since the couple was fulfilling the purpose of sexual intercourse to be experienced inside a godly marriage, God would want to participate in such a beautiful tribute to His own nature of unselfish love.

Also, through the couple’s sexual union, it resembles the Creator’s masculine and feminine natures that manifest in the world.

God delights in the opposites represented in the man and woman’s sexual play which echo the same harmony of extremes found within Himself.

A husband and wife union, spirit begetting spirit through the flesh, gives rise to a son or daughter, an eternal spiritual being.  This is perhaps the most singular sacred phenomenon experienced in earthly life.


Vertical force of love


Through marital coupling, God’s vertical love expands horizontally on earth through a husband and wife’s passionate embrace representing the most potent kind of horizontal love.

This extends into the future through the power of conception and lineage.

Reverend Moon emphasizes that God is the third partner in the marriage bed of a true husband and wife.  He states that marriage is the most sacred place where heaven and earth come together and rejoice.

This view is also echoed in the Jewish writings that declare that the feminine aspect of God is present in marital relations noting God has both feminine and masculine qualities.

The Tantric yoga tradition speaks of sexual union as clearing all the body’s charkas and opening a person up to higher energies.

Religious traditions prohibit fornication, adultery, homosexuality and lesser offenses and uphold the holiness of sexuality.

One can argue that these standards highlights the sacredness, the unique importance and beauty of sexuality.  Therefore, through repressing sexual urges outside of marriage, is a tribute to a positive view of sex and not a repressive notion as thought of by nonreligious.

In the Bible, even the older man is reminded, “Let your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer—may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love” Proverbs 5.18-19

It is also recognized that sexuality is corrupted and misdirected to become idolatry of the body and an abuse of power.

Sexual desires that are not controlled or disciplined reduces people to things to be exploited and possessed, not truly loved.

There is a modern saying that we have gone from a society that uses people and love things.

Also, sex outside of commitment is bond to become compulsive.  This is why the joys of sexual love are bound to the moral responsibilities of a committed marriage as God intended from the beginning.

Sexual Organs the Most Holy Place

Throughout religious history, practically every part of human life has been discussed in the pulpit except one grey area: the sexual organs.

While preacher's may speak about the current world situations, disasters, economy, political views, dispute other faiths and philosophies, still they leave the most important element out of their speeches.

Sex in and of itself is not dirty, but humanity has become ashamed because we have left our position and ate of the fruit without God's permission.

In these Last Days, we have reached a position through the return of the Messiah to reverse this mistake of the Fall and return to our original position before the Fall.

Through the teachings of the Divine Principle, we learn that the world turned into chaos because of Eve and the archangel giving into the fruit which were known to be the sexual organs.  She passed this indiscretion on to Adam and from then on to their descendants up to the present times.

Now, is not the time to hide this information, but to teach about it and speak about it in order for this mistake to no longer be passed down.

If parents or preachers do not teach their children at a younger age, then Satan surely will teach them for us the inappropriate ways of using their sexual organs and without any time period or waiting for just one partner.

Why do we stubbornly hold onto the tradition that speaking about sex in the context of God is a no no when God created absolute, pure sex in the first place?

Where do you think God's most holy place is?  It is the sexual organs of men and women where love dwells.  This is heaven's most holy place.

What is the symbol of the love between a man and woman?  Where is the final destination of love?

The place where man and woman want their love to end up is the sexual organs which make a man and a woman one.  The sexual organs become a channel that can bring their mind and body into complete oneness of love.

Sex is the original palace of love, the most holy place of heaven

What is the difference between men and women?

First, the obvious difference is their external bodies including the sexual organs are different.

For whom is the male sexual organ absolutely necessary?

The male sexual organ exists for a woman.  One sexual organ is concave and the other is convex.  Why are they made like that?

Both of them could point out or be made flat, but why do they look different?  It is all for the sake of the other.  The man's organ is absolutely wanted by the woman's organ, and the woman's organ is wanted by the man.

We have not known that the woman's organ absolutely belongs to the man and the man's organ absolutely belongs to the woman.  Would they belong to several different men or women?  Is God like this?

By the two owning each other's sexual organs, man and woman can come to know true love.

The sexual organs of men and women are the treasure store of the royal palace.

The man and woman's sexual organs are the treasure store of the royal palace of the heavenly nation.

Even God cannot do whatever He wants with her sexual organ.  Only her husband can open the lock to it.

A woman should not get undressed before two men.  She is only allowed to undress herself before her master.  Anyone else is a devil.

The sexual organ is the royal palace of love.

The sexual organ is the royal palace where one receives the blood ties and lineage.  It is where one will inherit heaven. This will never, ever change.

It is a royal palace of true life, a royal palace where true love is found and true lineage.

It is the most precious place.

Therefore, since this is the most holiest of places, then it is also the most fearsome if one lets just anyone open up the key to this place.

As Adam and Eve had done, they destroyed the royal palace of love, life and lineage and invited in the false love, life and lineage inherited from Satan.

You cannot do whatever you want with it.  The sexual organ cannot be open without God's official approval.

No one can even touch this royal palace without your husband or wife who has received approval from God and the universe.

Why did God create the sexual organs?  It is because of love.

The sexual organs come into being in order to find love. What is the sexual organ?

It is the royal palace that is centered on a true lineage where God's direct blood lineage can be born from there.

Then it is the most precious thing in creation. Without it, God's ideal world, God's family and God's will cannot be realized.  The sexual organ is the starting point for the achievement of the perfection of all of these.

If a world existed that absolutely valued the sexual organ, do you think that this would be a good world or a bad world?

Would a world that preserved the sexual organ be a world of prosperity or a world of ruin?

When God created human beings, what part do you think God made with the greatest of concerns? Would it be the eyes?

What about the nose?  The heart or the brain?  These things will disappear when you die, do they not?

The sexual organ is the royal palace of love. 

What has happened to that royal palace of love now?

It is such a precious thing, a holy thing to be cherished.  But the Fall has turned it dirty.

From God's viewpoint it is not something to be viewed as dirty, but something holy.

From there, true life, true love and true lineage are connected to it.  Satan defiled such a holy thing.

Our sexual organ is the original palace of love. Only if love, life and lineage is accomplished can your sexual organ be the royal palace in which God can dwell.  Since God is King of all kings, and the one who is to go to the original palace and reside there, if you attend God you must attain the original palace of love, life and lineage, and the original palace of conscience. Amen!

The sexual organ is the point where two people in love become one as a unified body of life with love at the center.  It is the place where the blood of a man and the blood of a woman blend into one in one melting pot.

You should know that this place is more precious than your own sons and daughters.  More precious than your husband and even more precious than God.

They will say you are a heretic for saying this, but through the sexual organs that remain pure and are approved by God, can create children that are born of God's direct blood lineage - true children.

Without it, your parents would have no value, your couple would have no value.  Your sons and daughters would have no value.

Once humanity lost the royal palace, children thereafter were connected to Satan carrying his dirty blood lineage. This is the point where the view of something of such value as the sexual organ received such a negative connotation.

If we do not inherit the royal palace, there is no value to you as a couple.

Since this place is so precious, it is kept under lock and key as the most precious treasure of your whole life.  In order to keep it from being seen by anyone in the world.

The key to the man's organ is held by the wife and the key to the woman's organ is the husband.  There is only one key for each.

Would you like for your husband to have ten or twenty keys just like those who indulge in free sex?  Do you want it to be like a ruined house without an owner, where the door is open to any passerbyer?

The sexual organ is the original palace with which a man and a woman make love.

Your grandparents and parents have lived revering this place.

You as a couple revere this place, and your sons and daughters to come in the future will also live revering it.  Is this not so?  Is there a woman or a man who has lived truly regarding and safeguarding their royal palace?

If so, then why has it turned into something bad?

The sexual organ is seen as a vulgar word.  Why when it is such a holy place?

It is because of this that eternal love is connected and from this that eternal life and lineage appear.

A man and woman who are able to protect and keep their purity are likewise protected by the universe.  This is because by keeping the order of love between men and women is the fundamental root of the universe.

Why were men and women born on the earth?

They were born in order to love one another.

Since God is a great king of wisdom, He allowed for the exchange of the love organs between men and women.

Despite what people have come to believe, the man's sexual organ does not belong to him and neither does the woman's sexual organ belong to herself.

Behaving according to popular culture, or to your own desire while ignoring the owner will cause you to receive judgement for violating love.

God is a fair being.

Hence, since it is not right for people to fight over who owns what, God designed for the planting of the man's possession within the woman and the woman's possession within the man.  Love may seem wicked, but in reality it is something breathtaking.

Love must create harmony.  There is nothing dirty in love.

Although the sexual organ is the most precious thing, it is also close to the dirtiest area of the human body. Why is this the case?

Since harmony is a principle in the creation of heaven and earth, the male and female sexual organs are the most precious things.  God thus installed them properly in the center of the body.

It is the safest zone, and at the same time it is next to he dirties place. This shows us that God is truly the king of wisdom.

He teaches the human world that love can even rule over something dirty.  

The pathway of urine is also nearby.

Which would you rather cut off: your fingers or your sexual organ?

There should be a vertical standard for the use of the sexual organs. 

All the four limbs are horizontal. This is why the vertical sexual organ is right in the middle.  Isn't this part of a trinity?  It represents God.

Among all of the possession that a man has, two parts of the sexual organ represent the dual characteristics of Adam and Eve.  The one that stands stiff represents God.

You get married in order to be able to meet God.  God does not exist separately from this.

When you enter that place, God is living there.  The sexual organ is more important than your own head?  There is not true love, life or lineage in your head.

Where is the origin?

The sexual organ is the most important than your head.

The root of life also lies here.  It is the same with lineage.  This is the most precious place. Not only in reference to the human body, but also in the world and throughout human history.

Without the sexual organ, the multiplication of humankind would be impossible.

For human beings, the antenna of love is their sexual organ. 

The man is convex and the woman is concave. When the two join together, they become round and disappear.

It is like a negative electrical charge and a positive electrical charge which meet creating a thunder clap, then returning to zero.

If the man had his own sexual organ he would not want to give it away and the woman would not want to give hers away either.

Then the man and woman would stand confronting each other in this way for a thousand or ten thousands years.  However, since they have made this exchange with each other centered on love, they share their sexual organs out of mutual need and give and receive creating a circular motion.

Value occurs only through this exchange.

Witnessing Teaches True Love

Many Americans believe that the times which we are living are much better than the olden days, but the truth is the days of the past are much purer and better.

Of course there was much blood shed and many wrongs of the past, but from the viewpoint of values, we must restore this to the present time because this opposite direction leads to destruction.

But Americans will not just simply accept such statements.  We must be able to clearly explain why we must live a purer way.  We must do so quickly because the time is short and unless we cand do this, America cannot be saved.


There have been many changes in public opinion taking place without you even realizing it. Righteous Americans have joined the staff of the Washington Times, even taking a cut in salary, because they felt inspired to join the new conservative movement.


How responsible do you feel for following these words?

Many speeches speak about witnessing to the home church providence in your area comprising of 360 homes.  How many homes in the past week did you visit in your home church area?

Throughout history, many religious people have made tremendous sacrifices and millions have been martyred for their belief in God.  Because of this collective merit of sacrifice and blood, home church is now possible.

There is a value and meaning to this providence because the 360 homes in your area represent all the people in the world.

By witnessing to them, you are doing the same work as working with people all over the world.  Through this, you are able to restore your  family.

If you are not able to do the work of home church, you will be severely judged later.

On the church level, we have not been able to go beyond the family level.  There are many families, but in comparison to the ultimate goal this accomplishment is small.  Unless we are able to go to the larger levels of society nation and world, our level of freedom will not be complete in the spirit world. We will have limited movement there.

As we do the work of restoration every day, corresponding areas in spirit world open and are created at the same time.  At best we have the freedom, right now, to move about at the community level.

There are many borders and boundaries in areas of the spirit world just as there are here on earth.

We witness to people on a one-to-one basis, but at this rate how will be able to expand to the world level?

Your responsibility is to expand to the highest levels.

This is for the sake of your clan.  When you do home church and the people there understand God and His will through the Completed Testament, Divine Principle, then they will be able to educate your clan.  They will become better teachers than you are.

You can think of it in relation to Cain and Abel in your clan.  Your responsibility in the Abel position is to stand on the central point guiding others, living the heavenly, vertical standard yourself.

When you are able to do that, you are able to inherit the position of a true parent.  By standing int hat position, you receive God's love directly, Father love.  Mother's love and the love of brothers and sisters.

If we were able to see with a spiritual microscope, we would be able to see that every one of your cells reflects one of those kinds of love.

They would not be able to just see you alone in your cells, but that you have achieved unity and selflessness.  You can then confidently claim that your 'I' now is different from the 'I' before, because it is reflecting the love of God, parents and brothers and sisters.

Have you thought before about your cells carrying all these different elements of love?

People will automatically like such a person when they see him.  When a person lives only for himself, however, it is hard for anyone to like him. It is even more difficult for God to be pleased with him..

But when you are full of love of others, God will love everything about your eyes, nose and everything else that belongs to you.

Your parents would love you more than you love yourself and will want to share everything they have with you.


Whenever anyone comes to visit me, I try to show love to that person and treat him better than anyone has ever treated him in the past. This is the attitude I want to teach you; whenever you take any position, you should take it with the most loving heart. If you become the president of some organization, be the most loving president that group ever had.


When it is time for the blessing, arranged marriage, many may wonder why they were given the spouse that was picked for them and they want a better one.  If you think that your fiancee is very difficult to love, then when you are able to love them, you will be the king and queen of love.

Do you think God would like such a complaint and think you should have a different fiancee and will change you around?

We each have an endless realm of love to connect with if you make a success out of your relationship.  Certainly, then, God will want to fill you with everything you need.

Every bridegroom should think of his bride as more precious than royalty as if she was his queen and  vice-versa.

The blessing is given to reverse the position of the fall and connect man and wife to the direct blood lineage of God.  How tragic would it be if you knowingly or unknowingly stopped it?  Your ancestors and all of creation will accuse you if you prevent them from being connected to God.

Sometimes, people join the movement with such zeal, but after a few years of hard work, their enthusiasm diminishes.  On the other hand, there is the member that doesn't get much attention at first but gradually build up his accomplishments.

Which member would you like to be?

Naturally, you want to go up, not down, but if you do not follow simple directions like working for the home church providence, you are going down.  You may say that you will carry out your responsibilities as a person of faith, but how much have you actually carried out?

Maybe the American youth have not lived up to all their promises, but another country will.  If the time comes when the white people fail to complete God's time table, then the black people will rise up and become the leaders of the world.

We must realize that America has been helped because it is at the center of God's providence for restoring the world.

If America is not able to do as much as they can and fulfill this mission of world salvation, there will be accusations by your ancestors and all the white people there.

Americans have been taught this material through public speeches and lectures more than any other country and any other religion.  The consequences of missing this opportunity will be much more serious than you think!


This morning I am dressed in a suit and tie because of Sunday Service; normally, however, I prefer to wear less expensive clothing. I have trained myself to conserve water which is so plentiful here in America, because I know how little clean water is available in other parts of the world, especially Africa. If you consistently try to look at things from God's viewpoint, these things are very basic ways of living.


This is why other members from poorer countries do not accuse Father or believe negative information even though they have suffered deprived lives and he is living in comfortable surroundings.

He doesn't feel proud of those things and always thinks that he will see to it that everyone around the world has this kind of environment.

Each of us must live according to the true vertical standard and continuously widen the sphere of influence.  You mustn't think, "Just let the world take care of itself. I am satisfied just as long as my family is doing fine."

The idea is to expand in all four directions, so you need to be moving from the East to the West securing both ends.  Maybe in the future, Western students will want to travel to the Eastern Universities and vice-versa.

If these students' desire is to truly learn from another culture, they can't just have a few small experiences just for purpose of reference and take it back to their native culture.  They can only expand themselves by taking the culture seriously trying to learn from it.

Families that have lived a sacrificial lifestyle for God, should be proud of their sons and daughter going to the remote parts of the world because in this way, cultures of the world can be linked to the families of the highest vertical love of God.

They will also be linked to the deepest horizontal love between people.

Thoughtful and conscientious people around the world will agree with this.

Americans should be the first to reach out and learn from people around the world.  Some Americans are only able to think that the Western way is only good way.

Once America is able to exhibit such an universal attitude, then the rest of the world will follow.

We should not just form and focus only on our family becoming comfortable with our way of life.  You should understand that if you only have a small influence, then your level of freedom to mobility in spirit world will be also small.


In Korea today, people from all professions have come to respect me, while in America I am still treated as an outcast. Since I fought a legal battle in the Orient, I feel that it is right to face a similar battle here in the West. I will never be exhausted; even though every kind of person may oppose me, I must carry out what is necessary.


Is it ideal to say that only blonde, light-skinned people are the standard for mankind?  Of course not.  Within each single individual, there are all different colors of materials.

The different species of geese, such as the Canadian and Alaskan, do not fight with each other when they cross the border.

They do not fight over color or nationality.  If a geese was to lay a colored egg, the mother would not abandon him.

Geese are not aware of color and do not base their decision off of them.  However, the person who is conscious of his own color and other people's coloring creates barriers and obstacles in his life.

Even though many people may shout for you to go home and you receive much persecution as you walk this pathway, you must recognize your true value.

One day you will be sought after by the whole world.

The earth is divided into the North and South pole.  But, human civilization is divided between the Eastern world and the West.

The two poles of the earth are the vertical line and the East-West is on horizontal line.  When humanity is able to finally unite globally with harmony between the East and the West, Heaven on Earth will be achieved.

Americans have been opposed to Reverend Moon without actually knowing anything about Reverend Moon. Soon, however, the time will come when Americans will quickly change their minds.

Would you like to go to the other part of the world?

The person who refuses to budge becomes stagnant and eventually will decline.  We must widened the individual influence to all the higher levels to the clan, nation and world.

If you are not able to literally expand to the highest levels, then you can connect yourself with the Messiah and follow him.

This ideology of the Divine Principle, the Completed Testament, which this blog is based upon has been persecuted on the worldwide level because it has reached to that position.  Any conscientious person who hears this teaching will see the greatness of its ideology.

You each recognize this, but sometimes you say you wish this path was easier and less difficult and you would be more motivated.  However, if the hardship was eliminated, the there could not be any true restoration accomplished.

The normal course for a champion is to go through many hardships. 

To become a world champion boxer or a supreme martial artist, would you expect to do it without fighting or any amount of training?

You would not be able to win the moment you stepped into the ring just from the first blow of your opponent if you ran out.

The normal course of a champion is to get beaten, to bleed and to have many scars.  But just when things look the worst for him, he is able to stand up and knock out his opponent.  This is the way the champion must go.

Our work on this path of faith is a real challenge as well.

At the time of difficulty, serious people stay and weak, uncommitted people fall away. 

If you are able to continue this endeavor and keep running all the way to the goal, no matter what happens, you are assured of being a true winner and champion.

The Messiah's true work of world restoration is so arduous, those who know his path would not be hungry for that central position.

No one is willing to take over that position.  Actually, within the world of love, there is nobody who can take the position.

Was God's position elected through popular vote?  What about the Messiah?

Certain positions were created before there was a political process conceived.  Likewise, you did not have any decision or chose in who was your parents, brothers or sisters.

Some things in human society will never be changed.

Through the election process, it is possible that a communist is elected president of this country.  If that was possible, Satan would be able to win tremendous influence over the earth.  God has been fighting Satan's influence throughout history and now we are at the culmination point.

The Messiah's responsibility is to achieve and protect the vertical position of love.

We already know that no military power will be able to stop the spread of communism completely.  The battle must be won within the communities and families, where the ideology has been implanted and embraced.

Home church of witnessing to 360 people in your area is the way to fight the influence of communism.

Communism is the enemy of God because it believes salvation through material gain and not through God.  If you have built a strong foundation in your area, you will be able to know if someone enters the community preaching communism.

You will then be able to prevent such unwholesome ideas from invading your area.

New York is in a pivotal position for the world; if it turns toward goodness, the world will follow. If it turns toward evil, so will the whole world.

The movement has focused energies and resources to New York for decades for this reason while others were deserting the city and giving up on it.  We went against the tide at that time.

The young people of the movement have been pushed to be humble and deny themselves to reverse the fallen ways of the secular world.  Even fiancees do not hold hands while other kiss and express their love publicly.

In secular society, people often live together before becoming husband and wife, but we get married and wait a time to do mission work before we consummate as husband and wife.

When you are able to go this way, you go beyond your physical appetites in order to achieve a greater goal.

We may appear to be the lowest people and continue to deny our worldly pleasures, but we are actually becoming greater and greater people.

Those who constantly indulge their appetites will discover that they have not gone up, but down in value.

Likewise, those without the strength and determination will not be able to persevere through the most difficult times.

This post was rewritten and derived from the speech Completion of the Ideal

Your Attitude in Prayer

The most important thing in prayer is the attitude of the person who is praying. 

The most essential part is your commitment to go forward without any reservation.

If there is anything that is trying to block you from praying, you have to be decided that it will never stop you. Unless you have this kind of commitment to continue, God will not waste His time trying to help you.

God has trusted many people of faith in the past to accomplish His will and He has been disappointed and deceived.  He has been looking for proof of what you are made of and how strong your commitment is.

You may tell God that you are completely committed and will do whatever it takes and never quit.  But He would just shake His head and say that He will wait for at least three years to see.  If God sees that something isn't quite right within you, He will wait before sending His help.

God has to be absolutely sure.

If God was to just freely give out His help and at the end of several years the person is broken into pieces, it would make God foolish.


 If I were God I would also wait and see. Suppose you were God; what would you do? You may tell God, "You see I am living as a church member and I will die as one." Then God will notice and look more closely.


No matter how firm your prayer is, without this basic commitment nothing will happen and you will be wasting your time.  This is where the decisive attitude is the key.


Do you think I made a commitment to God that I would never change, not for fifty years or the rest of my life? I prayed first for the absolute faith which could say, "Even if not a single person in this world can believe, I will believe and follow in whatever incredible course You give me." Second, I asked for absolute knowledge and wisdom. Third, I asked for absolute love. I prayed for these three things throughout my life, and now in looking back I see that they have been fulfilled, even when I didn't know it was happening. 

There is no other power that could go beyond the boundary of race and nation. 

With this absolute wisdom, the Divine Principle and the truth about the world was the result of an arduous search.

The attitude of absoluteness is the basis for everything.

Nowadays, some worry that they are getting too old to marry and have children.  This kind of attitude shows that your absolute commitment is starting to shake.  Instead of shrinking under this challenge, you should have the thought that even if you are not married yet, it does not bother you or change your commitment.

When you are faced with great problems and agony, once these challenges are overcome, your faith will be iron hard.

When you are able to see the obstacles that are blocking you path, you are able to clear the field.

Since God could give me this absolute wisdom, I could search and find the Divine Principle and the truth about the world.

What if along this road, you were very much in love with your husband or wife, but they suddenly die.  Will heaven and earth crumble for you?

This could be the very moment that you would curse God for taking your loved one away.  But what if instead you were able to thank Him for giving you a situation that will strengthen your faith?   Then you faith will become stronger instead of weaker.

God is a parent who loves His children.  If He takes a loved one away, it is not because He hates you and wants to see you suffer, but it is for a greater reason.  If you are able to accept and digest this situation, and have faith in that purpose, then you are ready for another challenge.

In this movement the most beautiful word to our ears is 'indemnity'.

Through paying indemnity, we can pay for the debt of our sins and our ancestors.  Many mistakenly believe that because Jesus died on the cross for our sins that all sins here and in the future have been  eradicated through the cross.

This is incorrect.

If that was true, when Jesus died on the cross, every child born thereafter would have been born without sin and without need for redemption.  Yet, you and I were born with sin and continue this stained lineage.

Jesus paved a way for each person to come to God to be forgiven of their sins.  We still have a mountain of sin we inherit on the individual level, family,/ancestral love and so on that needs to be paid for.

We are living in the Completed Testament age where all the sins of the past are being completely erased through paying indemnity while humanity steps one foot closer to God's ideal world of Heaven on Earth.  God is asking you as His champion to pay indemnity because no one can stand such a burden..

Accept indemnity with a thankful heart. 

When you compare the time on earth that you are apart from you loved one with the millions of years your descendants will live,  your payment of indemnity is small compared to the huge blessing God will give your descendants.

If in fact, the death of your spouse was an accident, and was not a direct intervention of God, but you are still able to have a grateful attitude God will feel that you are an extraordinary child and His blessing will automatically be yours.

Your attitude will decide the amount of blessing. 

Are you ready?

If an extraordinary grief or tragedy hits you, are you ready to thank God and ask what is next?

When you understand the law of indemnity, you know that you cannot only accept the pleasant situations and then curse God during the most unpleasant events.  With this knowledge about indemnity, there should be nothing that you cannot bear.  This is the attitude of those who truly know God.

When you first join the church your eyes are filled with such fervor and hope, but as the years pass on they get a little duller.  What about in ten years?  It is easy to say that you have the same enthusiasm, but do you really have the confidence?

Prayer is an absolute necessity. 

It is important to first make an environment of serious commitment before praying.

If you do not have this basic attitude, no amount of prayer and tears will suffice.  Many in the Christian world pray everyday.  Do you think that they pray for the Christian churches to decline?  Of course they pray for the churches to prosper, but the churches are crumbling anyway.

Prayer is very powerful, thus there is a disconnect between their prayers and God.

We should pray for the big things: the nation, the world and the liberation of God.

This way you are praying for an even bigger cross than your own church.

If you only pray for smaller things than the church, God will not answer because He is not interested in listening to such boring prayers.  When you pray for the nation and the world, God takes notice and will want to help.

This way of prayer is training for how to love greater things.  If you live this way of life, then God will still back you up even if you do not have time to pray.

In churches today, people pray for their denominations, their Social Security check or their family problems and their pet. God's ears hurt when He hears those prayers and He will plug His ears. It would be the equivalent of a child begging their parents every moment for some candy.

When you only talk about yourself in your prayer, God is thoroughly bored and nothing will happen. But if you pray for His righteousness and His kingdom, He will be caught up in your passion.

In order to fulfill bigger things you need an adventurous mind and be willing to take risks.

When you work for larger goals, you will not have to worry because God will be right behind you.  If you work hard to overcome the stonewalls and persecution standing in your way, God will take up your battle for you.

God is able to distinguish who is just and who is unjust.

God would wait and give you a chance to knock down your opponent with your own might before He rushes in to help.  This is the same thing a father and mother would do for their children.

If you were to run to your parents first before confronting your enemy, God, like any parent would be ashamed to hear your complaints and will send you back out again.

Create a good problem: be a heavenly troublemaker instead.

I came to America and became a good troublemaker, and that's why America doesn't like me. America has built a prosperous society, but I came to shake this nation and Americans resent my disturbing their peace.  But I did not come to destroy America, only to warn this nation that there is danger ahead. 


Someone has to warn the people of America and bring them out of disaster.  We must prepare ourselves for this big battle.  After you go first, then you can ask God to come and help you with any area you lack.

Then God will say, "Go ahead, I am right behind you."

In those circumstances, if you sit down and pray with seriousness, then God will encourage you.  When God finally has proof of your commitment, an avalanche will come to you.


I have had the experience of thinking about some problem and not even praying about it, but already God knew my thoughts and went one step ahead of me. When I discovered that my thinking had been fulfilled, He smiled and said, "See what I did?"

You need the basic attitude of sincerity as a foundation of prayer. 

If you do not exhibit this basic attitude, then no prayer will work.  To create this atmosphere, you should serve one more person, knock on one more door, receive more persecution for restoration.

That would be more valuable than sitting in a dark room for hours praying.

Praying is only needed only after you have exerted all of your energy into a cause and it was still not enough.  Then at that time you can ask God to come help.  When you can do the mission on your own, then you don't have to ask God for help, and you can tell Him to relax.

The prayer for all seasons is the prayer for God's kingdom and His righteousness.

Does God pray sometimes?

When a parent, without thinking, will whisper to themselves that they wish their son would do this or that.  That is God's prayer also.  He prays about you and me because we are living in a time of emergency and He is engrossed in His concern.

That is God's prayer.

You do not even have to sit down and pray.  You can just murmur as you go.  That is prayer.  In our case, praying and doing is the way of life and praying and waiting is not life.

If you pray unconsciously throughout your daily life, then you undoubtedly are becoming sons and daughters of prayer.

If you give your last ounce of energy but it is not enough, then ask God for assistance and your prayer will be answered.

If this was not the case, how could we have the ability to subjugate Satan?

Satan has caused unending anguish and heartbreak to God for over six thousand years.  If there was no way to finally subjugate Satan, then there would be no end to this hell.

But God has made a way for us to overcome this evil world of darkness.

The power of prayer works wonders.  But when you pray, you must be serious and pray with one united hear, not a heart divided.

How serious is it to pick your own spouse?

It is dead serious, but prayer is even more serious than that.  At the moment your parents are on your death bed is a serious moment, and the words  you speak then are urgent. You will not doze at that time.  Your prayer has to be even more serious this moment in picking your spouse.

Prayer is like a covenant between you and God, a promise. 

Once you make this contract through prayer you follow through and without a doubt, God will fulfill it.

This is the attitude you should have through prayer.

You should not be disappointed that your prayer is not answered immediately.  Some answers come late.  As well, as you should not be overjoyed when your prayer is answered quickly.  That is not necessarily the best thing either.

The answer to prayer does not come from you, but down from heaven and it takes time to reach you.

You are surrounded by the world where there are many stages to go through horizontally and vertically.  There were many foolish people who received answers to their prayers up to a certain point, but who didn't go to the final inch.  They gave up when they were not satisfied and betrayed God.

When you pray for the world you may not see things changing immediately around you, but far away the communist world starts to crumble. 

Your prayer may be felt in a far-away place.  You must think that your prayer might not reach you today or be fulfilled for thousands of years from now.


I pray such prayers. I am not praying just for this world today; I am praying for 1,000 and 2,000 years from now. If that prayer makes a bridge between that time and now, then the Unification Church will continue to flourish even a long time after I am gone from the earth. That kind of prayer is needed.


What if everyone was to pray that kind of prayer?

That kind of eternal prayer would shake the world and the impact would be far reaching.  Prayer, sweat and tears would be the root of that prayer, and out of it beautiful flowers will blossom. When Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane, he was deadly serious.

All day long, you should be in prayer mindset, not just one hour, but 24 hours.

What prayer position do you prefer?

The best position is to kneel and bow your head  Restrict your body's freedom as though it were bound.

You will feel pain, but overcome it because you must be serious in your prayer.  This is necessary for prayer. Then God will know your serious attitude.

If Jesus and other saints did not pray, they would not have been able to carry out the great things that has impacted the world.  When you resort to the power of prayer, you can have hope because you never know when the fulfillment will come.



Return for Tomorrow's Post: The Power of Prayer

This post was rewritten and derived from the speech The Importance of Prayer

Does God Need Love?

Does God need true love?  We know that humanity has been in search of the purest love, but God has total authority, why would He need love?

Actually, the fact that God is almighty and absolute means that God also needs love more than anyone else in the universe.  Everything on earth only can work through the power of love.

Is it possible for God to have love without humanity or creation?  Is He able to experience joy all by Himself?

Love needs an object to complete a circuit, and even God cannot violate this law. 

God needs someone in which to love and be loved by; but is humanity equipped to give love to God? If so, would it be men and women together or separately?  Will love hit two people at the same time or one at a time?

What is the order of this love?  Who would be the first in this love crusade?

It is impossible to go in two different directions at the same time so there must be an order.  Would you be able to love your mother and husband with the same intensity, or would you love one more than the other?

Can you kiss them or embrace them both at the same time?

In this day and age, the feminist movement wants men and women to be equal, but there should be an order or discipline between them.

Equality and fairness are two different things.

Having blind equality does not equal fairness.  God loves both men and women equally as His children like any father, but there is always priority or sequence that follows.

Who would be the first to love God?  Women would say men come first.

When you make a circular motion based on this external layer, it goes in all different directions and ultimately is self-destructing.  Lasting, peaceful circular motion is always set up around an axis.

In everything, we need this central axis.  If you use this central line, then there will be no destruction no matter how fast or long you turn there. The more responsibility one has, the farther he advances toward the central position.

Who is designed more for greater responsibility, men or women?

The biblical tradition was for men to be given the blessing, because men are ultimately responsible.  Man is the subject in that central responsibility.

Blessing always accompanies responsibility. 

Throughout history, mankind has traditionally lived in this way, with women leaving their family homes to get married and taking their husband's name.  During war time and pioneering times, the women assisted behind the men in their work.

Men are in the subject mode and women are in the object mode.

Would you rather have a feminine man or a masculine man?

Women rather have a masculine man because this is a quality they do not have.  God created men and women in a complementary relationship.

Women are created for conquest of love by men.

This is not offensive when it is genuine, unselfish love that conquers you.  You will be intoxicated by it instead of repulsed by it.  At a certain point you will be a prisoner of love and give everything you have for the sake of your husband.

This is how God designed women.

The more you are conquered by love, the more you want to give. 

This is the spirit of true love.


I am a tough and rugged man who cannot stand any injustice, but even though I have a fiery temper I was conquered by the love of God and became totally helpless. In that love, I was made a lamb. If I weren't caught up in the love of God then I could not stand all the criticism that has come to me, but because of the love of God, the more people criticize the more I like it. In the name of God, I can be persecuted and tortured.


Father said in his speech that God would test him by allowing persecution to come.  When he would overcome, he would be completely intoxicated by God's love.  Then God recognizes him as His son, the living proof of His love.

God gives more tribulation as a condition where He can give him more love.

If Father is able to absorb the criticism and welcome the persecution he receives, then within the realm of God's love, there is nothing he cannot do.

Love is the central theme.  Would you like the kind of love where God allows persecution to come to you?  You would endure it because of love.

Equality is good, but not with blinders. 

Because you are not losing anything, you don't take exception to this, do you?

God created Adam first to be next to Him.

Women are built as objects, not subject.  If a woman was to go out late at night, it is natural for her to ask for a man to accompany her to the dark parking lot or to her car.

But even her youngest brother would be able to go out alone at night without asking for his sister's help.

This is the complimentary order of subject and object relationship which God established.

Father's family is the same way.  His first born was his daughter who is next to him, and then his second oldest is his son who is next to her.  Just because he is the first son does not mean he assumes the first position in the family.

He would not complain that his eldest sister is given first treatment.

Why is this so?

This is the order of love, flowing to the first fruits, then the second fruits.

There is a certain flow and timing which remains as the universal order.  God created one at a time in order, not two at once.  God would not complain about this because it is God's universal order.

This order is established in subject and object relationship.

If all of creation was a Boeing 747, then true love would be the compass and navigator.  True love love guides the whole plane with all its passengers riding in the correct direction.


I have been called all kinds of things, such as a dictator worse than Hitler. Do you think I have the power to do everything at random according to my will? Am I without principles and law? What is guiding me? True love. 


Father is obedient to the law of true love more than anyone else.  He upholds this law and gives his entire life for it.

Does true love have color of white, black or yellow?  True love is all colors.  All colors have come to follow Father, why is that?  They each have a common goal.  We are not just talking about it, we're creating it.

A good example is we have all colors and races under one fatherhood and bound by true love.

Could this be the result of a dictatorship?

You work hard at your mission and it seems like  a thankless, miserable life, but underneath is a burning desire to be a central person of true love.


You bring meaning to hard work.  You do not do it because someone forces your, but you do it because you have desire that is burning, you have peace within you.

This is true love.

When you are activated by true love, everything you do shall have beauty and glory.  If you communicate with God, then you could never leave him.  Even if you were to receive persecution from the whole world, you are able to sustain your ground, because true love of God upholds us.

This love is invincible because this true love is what mankind needs. 

Because those who you witness have to receive that love through you, they have to come.

Once you reach the level of total oneness with God in His true love, then you can enjoy absolute freedom and do anything with God.  In this love of God, there is no deed that is ungodly.  Even if you do things that seem nasty on the outside, they will bring you closer to God.

No deed done in true love is ugly.

What if God was angry about something, but in that moment His three-year old grandson came over and said, "Grandpa".  He would not be able to help but smile despite His anger, because that one word came from the child's true love.

Maybe God was in the middle of making a life or death decision for the universe, but even at that moment that one word of true love melted His heart.

If you have ever seen a moon launch, the moon may be in one direction in the sky, but the rocket will go in the opposite direction.  The spectators do not think that this makes any sense.

Those living in the world would say the same of the movement, that we were crazy and going in the wrong direction to the Kingdom of Heaven.  But our compass has a clear direction.  It is a spiritual compass leading ultimately to heaven.

If that compass leading your heart is true love then you are bound to reach heaven. 

Even though the rocket looks like it is doing unnecessary maneuvers, if it is led by the compass of true love, it will definitely take you right into heaven.

When that rocket led by true love lands in God's love, that love will explode and rock the entire universe.

When this happens, God will be activated in true love and begin to dance.  When God dances, all of creation will harmonize with Him and begin to dance, too.  Even if God stepped on someone's head in His excitement, that person would not complain, and probably ask for more.

This is the power of true love.

The contest of giving true love is the ultimate competition between husband and wife. 

If you are able to say that you love your partner with the true love of God, then no matter how wealthy or handsome or beautiful he or she is, he has to bow down.

True love is the ultimate gauge of value, not appearance or social standing.

If a wife measures how her husband has given true love to his family, if he is defeated in the competition of true love, he has to bow down to her.  If the subject is defeated in true love, then he must humbly come under his object.

This works on every level, as between a head of state and the people.  If a child is on tour of the White House and asks the President if he loves the people as much as he love his parents and he answers yes, then he is a great President.

If he cannot love the people more than his own parents, he is a failure.

Just as the Bible states that even though you may move mountains, without love it does not have value.  What is the expression of this true love?  Unselfish giving in everyday life is the true expression of that love.

This is the way parents have been living for their children and also the way God has been living for mankind.

Any subject demonstrating unselfish love toward his object is living true love.

When a man stands in the center of true love, the Kingdom of Heaven shall be there.  That love will go beyond any power that is on earth and win over it.  Then the power of unity will bind everything together into oneness like glue.

This is our goal on the road toward an ideal world.  Our direction is true love.

When we manifest that true love in our daily life, it is unselfish giving everyday.  You will also always remember your position.

When you get closer and closer to that goal, many burdens and responsibilities will come to you because the time of fulfillment of God's wish for an ideal world  is near.

Pour Your Heart Out for Others

It is said that children are a blessing.  A child is a real gift given directly from God.  

This is more so than a wife receiving her husband, or a man his wife.  Father matches couples that don't seem to make sense, but he puts them together based on knowing what the children will be like.  This couple should be grateful for their pairing and see what kind of children they will have.

When the couple first sees a child from this kind of matching, they will know he is truly a gift from God.  They will love that child more than they love the husband or wife.  This will be okay, because the couple would be mutually grateful, because their mate enabled them to be the parent of such a child.  Through this foundation, the couple can admire each other.

Mothers should breast feed their children, if it it is just for a little time.  The more children she has, it may become more difficult to keep this standard, but the basic principle is still there.

Breast feeding is the best link for a mother and child to truly relate. 

The matchings are mostly made of international and interracial couples.

It would be the most beautiful sight for God to see a black mother loving and feeding her white child at her breast.  Would it be thinkable that the father and mother in this situation would have any racial discrimination?

This is God's culture.  There is no other culture more beautiful than this one.

Through learning the contents of the Divine Principle, upon which this blog is based, you come through the narrowest gate.  This means it is the most precious and rare blessing for you in your life.

If you were to truly inherit this philosophy and way of life, then wherever you go in the world, you would be welcomed, respected, and loved.

This is a course of seven years compared to the university's four years.

In seven years, you must consummate this role.  There must be nothing you cannot bear, even if you were treated as human trash.  This is where true kingship and queenship begins.

Which would be the better dramatic movie: everyday life, or a shocking courageous and victorious story?

Walking this narrow path is most difficult, would you be able to have such conviction to fill the goal for more than three days?  Time is just like an arrow flying through the air, and it is already the middle of the year.  Would you say that you will start this work next month or next year?

This timetable must start today.  If you wait until next month, next year, tomorrow will never come.

After three years of marriage, by that time, a couple may feel that they have a big lump that they have to carry wherever they go and never be separate from it.  Would you want to go your own way, or the way God wants you to go?

Where is the ultimate settling place?

Each couple must set up their own goals and serve your home church where you witness 360 homes. In home church you can be proud of your husband or your wife. That is your territory and realm.

Home church is the place for your settlement.  You must set the home church foundation for which to work through, or there is nowhere else for you to go.

Your destination is witnessing.

When you love your home church you are consummating every order you have received from True parents, true teacher, true patriot and true saint.

If a shrine was placed up for those who accomplish their home church mission, it would definitely be a place where God wants to visit.  Through the destiny of home church you will find heaven and your permanent home.

It is almost like being given into marriage.

If you leave this responsibility unfulfilled, then that great burden will be left to your own children to complete.

In this providence, the wife will work harder than the husband works and the husband will work harder than his wife, loving home church more than they love each other.  You love home church more than anything else.  You can concentrate there to build your own kingdom and heaven on earth.

This is the new kind of evangelism where we must succeed.

You will be welcomed even if you appear to your home church without any clothes.  You will still be welcomed as their savior.

The grandparents in your home church area will be competing to have your children come to their home and take care of them.  Your baby will have 360 homes right away in which to live.

Home church people will give true blessing and honor to your children. 

They will proclaim, "We know your father and mother very well and they are true saints. We saw God through your parents."

Then your children will be embraced and loved by your people as precious children.  Your home church people will pray for blessing towards yours as well. Your children will go to the same school in the morning with the home church children.

Your children will be embraced and loved by your home church people as precious children.  They will pray for blessings to come to you as well.  Your children will attend the same schools.  If your home church people have money, they won't consider it theirs, but think how they can spend the money for the home church providence.

Three hundred and sixty homes will be one family work and they will want to spend money for that. 

In another twenty years, you will look back and see that you are assisted by many people.  This is a prime time now.


In order to walk this path, you need to be able to absorb all types of people.  If Jesus was still alive and he was in his 80s, would you tell him he could not visit your home because you don't like the elderly?  You would say that you would serve him.

If you do this, then you should do this for your own parents in the Messiah's place.  As your parents get older, you should serve them as much as you serve Jesus.  That is real love.

The base to practice this type of love is in the home church providence.  If you consistently make effort now, some power will pull people to visit you if they were passing by to another destination.

It already July; imagine if you poured out your heart to a new person each day starting in January how extraordinary things could have happened by now.  You would have almost converted 200 people.

It is not too late.

You can start today and renew your energy.  This is what Heavenly Father, your wife, or husband, your children, and all of your relatives wants.


Time is not merciful enough to slow down for you. You have to keep abreast of time because time will never relax its pace. You can finish school in four years, but with extra effort you can graduate in three or even two years. It all depends upon your own effort. 


This morning the two central words are gratitude and home church.

In this providence, there is no room for complaint.  When Father came to America, he came as a firefighter to save the people, but he was met with hostility instead.

He never complained.

He was always grateful to God instead.  Even though he was constantly persecuted, his territory is constantly growing.

His opponents thought they had succeeded in knocking him out of commission.  But they did not understand that the more they attacked, the more blessings came to him and the members.

If the government persecutes, then their blessings must go to him.  If the media attacks with false claims, then their own blessings will diminish.  It will be like scales being emptied on one side and loaded on the other side.

While receiving persecution as a daily diet, we are growing.

You must really live up to the expectations in home church and all your shortcomings will be forgiven based on this condition.  Will you promise?

Give your pledge and promise this morning by raising your hands. Let us pray.

Persecution Brings Blessing, Endure

If a person is willing to give you everything he owns. then we can say he obeys and follows you. Religion has been teaching people to have this quality: to follow and obey. 

Every major religion had a small beginning, but enlarged to their current large foundation.

God planned to bring the Messiah on the foundation of religion and deal with people on the national level, not on the individual level.

This was the foundation He laid for Jesus in the Old Testament times with people of faith.

If the Jews had united with Jesus, they would have had a foundation strong enough to bring the Roman Empire down during the lifetime of Jesus.  There would have not been a need for 400 years of Christian persecution.

If the Jews were willing to offer themselves as a offering living for Jesus, then it would not have been difficult for the empire to fall through Jesus' strong foundation upon his believers.

Religious leaders must know that they are only managers until the Messiah, the true master comes.

This is where most religious leaders go wrong.  They believe that they are the central figures, the boss.

This is the same pattern that Satan followed in the act of the fall.

Everything in creation belonged to God, but someone else tried to make it his own.  We are enjoying the time in history when everything must return back to God or God's representative.

What happens if a leader says that his group belongs to him ?

No matter who it is, it is repeating the same mistake Satan made when he claimed God's creation as his own in front of Adam and Eve.  He was a servant who was to teach Adam and Eve, but instead he saw that they were going to be the true owners of creation along with God.  Satan desired to remain in the position he had in the angelic world and in front of Adam and Eve as they were maturing.

The true way of the religious way of life of "obey and follow" is difficult.  You may have worked hard all of your life, but if God wants to take it away for the purpose of the world, you have to give it gladly even though it may be hard to do.

Then, when God gives you the blessing, you will give them out again.

When man is obedient and follows, no persecution is necessary. 

But usually, for restoration, God has to let good people be persecuted.  When they overcome, He will be able to share the blessing with them.  This is the less desired way.  God lets Satan strike His side first, then God recovers all the blessings that Satan stole.


If a minister is appointed to a church but he does not do his job, he is fired. The minister's authority comes back to the person who appointed him, who can then give it to someone else. 


If on the other hand, man is obedient, then God will get everything back.  If man is disobedient, then Satan will be allowed to persecute people and then God can bring the blessing back after the person overcomes in victory.  If Christian countries, for instance, had been obedient to God then the ideal solution could have come easily.

But, Christians disobeyed God and fought each other and segregated into different denominations.  God wants those nations to transfer everything they own to the Messiah at his Second Coming.

Even with religious training, it is very difficult for man to be obedient to God's will.  Therefore, it is inevitable that he will be surrounded by struggle and persecution.

Adam, the first parent, was not obedient to God.  The chosen people of Israel did not follow Jesus, so God let them strike Jesus, but then He took back their blessing.  Israel recently received liberation in 1960.  The same will happen at the Second Coming.  This pattern recurs throughout history, from the individual to the world level.

If the one on the world level is not obedient toward God, there is a big struggle on the world level.  This struggle was evident in the 20th century.    On each level from the individual level to the world level, man and all things will form a bridge to the goal.

The world of communism also follow this pattern, but they follow it in the opposite direction.  The communist world claims to work for unification of the world, but they try to do so through gunpoint

The free world liberates man.

Within the free world, Christianity has become confused.  In the free world, contradiction prevails in America.  Korea depends on America to fulfill its mission so that Korea can also do its job.

We have to stop the communist movement, which is bent on destruction of the free world.

If we were to ask who is the leader of all the free world.  No one would be able to give you an answer.  This same question is given by those of the communist world, there is not a central point to unite all of the free world under one.

The movement that sacrifices these levels for ultimately to return the world to God, will become the leader under the banner of the whole world.

A new religion has occurred that has been the underdog, but we must assume our responsibility.

Because the members are persecuted, God has brought all blessings back to His side.  God has a heavy bag of blessings that He is ready to give out.  The movement will set the example and show us the solution.

All of us are a pipeline for God's blessing to flow to the world.

You have a basic understanding of history and mankind.

You have been given a precise explanation of history and where we are at this time. and now you know what you have to do every day. You must realize your position today.

All of us are a pipeline for God's blessing to flow to the world. You couldn't do that ten years ago; only this year could this be said. Is this a fairy tale, or is it logical and precise?

You have to become an atomic bomb of love wherever you go.  

By following this absolute, true way, you will become victors of love.

Satan tries to kill those who work for the dispensation because he knows that his reign will end.    One should feel that they can not stop because they are doing their mission for the world.    Satan will anticipate your next move, just so he can block it.

Today, the major battles are won in the free world.

If every family that practices a certain faith, and carry the tradition, will realize what is the true way of life and they will gradually begin to change.  When the media exposes the deception of communism, all of the other countries, America can be strong, then the communist will inevitably decline from that point on.

Then, the other countries will understand what is the true way of life and they will gradually begin to change.

We are living in a time where artist have a large influence on the world.

It is a good thing that this movement has been persecuted, because it will keep us on the path.  Your desire to witness and save your lost brothers and sisters is stronger than the taunts of your persecutors.

You should determine to work harder than you have been persecuted.  Now, that the foundation has been laid strong opposition is over.  We should basically work hard to love and educate those who persecute us.  Offer everything we have and surpass the standard of the persecution.

We are living at a time of crossroads where we are headed in this heavenly direction.  There should be no more persecution.  It is now like the time after winter passes and the cold still lingers in the air when spring arrives.

When doing your mission, you should determine to work harder than you have been persecuted.  Now that the foundation has been laid.

You may be persecuted initially, but once people see that you have a goal that reaches beyond yourself, they will respond favorably.

We have been persecuted because God wanted to bring all blessings back to His side again.  Now, God is giving the blessing to us on every level.

Fortunately, we are living in the age of information traveling all around the world without delay.  If the information of the Completed Testament could be broadcast internationally, people will be amazed at the knowledge.

Like the Bible states that in the Last Days, God would reveal everything, from now on everything will be clear and visible.

Like the Messiah, you should be like a rock, straight and firm, nothing like a new sapling that sways in the strong winds.  Stand strong.  You should each go out on your mission with a brave heart and with confidence, and know that you do not go it alone.  God will be right behind you.
