Everything Can Be Lost in a Moment

You could build a foundation of faith that is very strong like many ministers and saints of the past, but it can all be lost within one moment.  Once we realize this fact, we are ever striving to be careful with our words and decisions in every moment.

There is no better way to learn this simple fact than through the record of religious accounts.  The Bible alone can be thought of as a record of God's work to bring His children back to His bosom after we disobeyed through numerous saints, sages and people of faith.

Account after accounts, shows how God had planned victory through His people only for in one single moment of selfishness or lack of faith lost 40, hundreds and thousands of years of foundation laid for such a victorious moment.

Through the people of Israel following Jesus as God's son and raising him as a true king, God planned to bring about heaven on earth through His people conquering Rome during Jesus' life.

Instead, through countless mistakes, this victory would take place 400 years later with thousnds of Christian lives and sacrifices to pay for Jesus' death on the cross.

The purpose that people desire

God does not have a physical body.

Therefore, He manifests through Adam as His body, showing His face through him.

This is the ideal of creation.

God is the original spiritual(vertical) center and Adam is the original physical (horizontal) center.  When these two meet, they generate a 90-degree perpendicular angle.

This was God's purpose for the creation and it is people's desire to have this unity with God.

Had Adam and Eve had chosen to follow God's direction, they would have occupied the positions of true father and true mother eternally in the spirit world.

Yet due to their mistake in following the archangel's desires, this was not possible.  Had there been no Fall, everyone could have gone to Heaven just by simply attending the True Parents, perfect Adam and perfect Eve, just as if they were attending God.

The reason for birth

Everything is round in the created world: the sun, the earth, and the stars.  Even our mouth upon further analysis is round.

No matter what, everything is created that way.  Then the universe makes relationships by going round and round in circular, cyclical movements.

Even if one individual thing has a round shape, it does not exist on its own, but makes a connection with the whole.

This helps explain why we are born?

We are born to beat in rhythm with this vast universe.

The ocean waves that lap against the shore, lap against our hearts as well.  Gentle breezes softly and serenely lull our hearts into serenity.

The flowers which bloom release rich fragrances and stir the fragrance in our hearts.

If we are born, raised, live and die in love, then we can be grateful for our birth, life and death.

Since you were born through your parents love and treasure each other exceedingly, you consider yourselves born as the flags planted through your parents' love.

You are participants in this love.

Being born from that place of your parents' love, you consider yourselves born as the flags planted through your parents' love.  These flags flutter to express love.

God created humanity to live for the sake of love throughout their entire lives.  So, you should wave the flag of love for you mother, your father and for your siblings.

The relationship between a moment and a lifetime

The crossroads of life do not occur over a long drawn out period over time, but it happens in a single moment.

Your living body cannot be perfected unless your entire existence becomes a foundation for absorbing nutrients.  This phenom occurs in the natural world.

People who ignore such a moment, fail to obtain something precious.

Thus, they cannot become great people, nor inherit God's throne and crown.

For the sake of one bright, shining moment, exercise care with each of the words you speak, the action you take, and even each thought you entertain.

You should believe that the content of your family daily life will remain in the relationship to the world as you deal with life and solve problems.

In this way, the realm of victory or failure is determined in such a moment.

It is the same with the historical ream of victory on the cosmic realm.  Those who are able to understand the infinite value of such a bright moment and live accordingly, can become great people, saint, or more importantly, God's sons and daughters.

This point where life and death meet, is just a single moment.

It is necessary to first desire the coming of heaven continuously with faith and wish for His will to be done.

What is more important, is how we become one with God's ideal.

Attitude is the problem.

Of course, first, we must desire for the coming heaven on earth and wish for the Will to be done.  Yet, what is important is how we can personally become one with God's will and take it as our own desire.

We must create environments as individuals, and people that will enable us to inherit God's will.  This is where we can then proceed to establish, a relationship with Heaven.

Throughout the history of God's providence, there were three thousand years beginning from Adam's family  through Noah's Abraham's and Moses families down to Jesus.

In the Adam's family, the fall was not explained just because the fall was not something planned out.  This plan was to be put into action over the span of a year.

If you were given an hour, when centered on God, we make a relationship with His Will.  This is an important issue.

When you look at this failure, we see that, no matter what is presented, it did not occur over the course of a year.

It was not something that was planned to put in action over the span a year, five years or a decade.

Their mistake happened in a flash.

When we think about how that failure of only one moment has been perpetuated over eons of times within humanity, we can understand the fearfulness and dread of repeating that instant in our own life of faith.

Even if we live 40 years as a saint, we can fail God's will in just one moment of weakness.  When you look at the biblical story accounts of many people of faith, it is a record of many failures of God's people to restore God's heaven on earth.

The point Adam and Eve believed in the archangel's words over God's, these became the origin of a humanity needing to make a tremendous offering of indemnity or redemption for this mistake.

When we understand this importance, a single hour that we ordinarily live so casually within our daily lives can become just as fearful for such a mistake to take away years of foundation.

Even moreso, we have to feel how fearful even a moment is, even one second of one hour that goes by as the clock continuously tick.

Even eternal heaven has to exist having an integral relationship with the single moment.

We mistakenly believe that eternity begins when we die, but it begins at the moment we come to know God's will.

Eternity will be interrupted if there is even a short jump in time even if it was just a moment, then eternity will be interrupted.

We should, therefore, not procrastinate while walking this path of faith in the course of our lives.

Do  not procrastinate by deferring your responsibility.  A person such as this will die without ever having spent a day of being one with the Will over the course of their lifetimes.

Then they cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.  However good your country of residence may be, you cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

If you are unable to live even one day by a victorious standard, you will not enter the eternal world if you fail to live even one day out of the year for God's providence.

Since we cannot stop and must move forward, believers go forth dreaming of eternity. It is important for believers to go forth dreaming of eternity.

What is even more important for believers is how much evil can be eradicated and whether they have become the standard of goodness.

This is very crucial.

When we look from this perspective, Adam's momentary lapse in judgment led to thousands years of anguish.  God, thus planned for Cain and Abel to dissolve this anguish of their parents and demolish the wall that exists between brothers and create the origin of one true family.

Yet, Abel's murder was also an instantaneous incident that changed God's plan.

During Noah's 120-year course, he toiled to build the ark.  In only a brief moment, God gave the command to board the ship.

Those who followed this order were able to receive the blessings of the eternal God.  Those who did not were buried within the eternal judgment.

The same with Abraham: God's promise that His descendants would be numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. Gen. 22:17

This was bestowed in a twinkling of an eye.

Abraham's sacrificial offering did not require decades, but rather a mere day's work.  The time it took him to cut the offering and place it on the altar, was not an hour, yet that single hour historically bore the seeds of all life and death, or curses and blessings within it.

Today, believers should not dread the visitation of judgment in the Last Days, but the question of how they will harmonize their daily activities and face life's crossroads with God's will.

Attend the Messiah to Liberate Your Sin

Liberation of your forefathers will take place in proportion to your efforts.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon

We have entered the era where the unification of North and South Korea is possible.

Everything is possible.

Now, there is a welcoming environment in which heaven's law can work.

You should feel mortally ashamed if you are unable to witness your tribe in such an environment toward the heart of God. 

History is a course seeking the truth. 

The truth should show the true path of the true individual and a true family should live.

How a true society, a true nation and a true world should establish.

Therefore, the perfection of the world, nation, tribe and family and the individual is possible when the focus from the individual  level to the world level is one.

The person who brings these logical key words, the truth, is the True Parent.

The truth is God's true love.
Now, people of the world must listen and pay attention to this truth.

The teachings of Rev. Moon is the truth for the salvation of the world.  They are humanity's words of true love and life which are needed for eternity.

If the Savior comes to save the world, then he should not come to judge humanity with a rod of a real iron in the real sense.

Not even one person would give in by being hit by the messiah to submit to God.

The sacrificial love of a mother, with hands as tough as a toad's back, whose fingers are so bent from working hard for her children they cannot be straightened out, can have the power to make the disobedient child repent and come back to the right path.

Even though God is the mighty king of judgment who leads heaven and earth according to His will, the cosmic unification is impossible without true love.

In other words, we are living in the time where we can bring about humanity to God through love - not through war, fight or force.

Difficulties are not an obstacle in true love. 

While in true love, there is the vigor to go forward at the sacrifice of one's own life.

We fail if the people can say, "In that church, the words are good, but the people are bad."


Did I give you only words? No, I did not just speak. I have done all the things that I am teaching you now. Therefore, there should be no doubt about them. I am teaching by creating a system of thought that is free of inconsistency and contradiction in both its intellectual and the practical aspects. No one can say anything about that. Both Satan and God approve of it.



God is calling us with His words.

Therefore, we must go according to His words.  What is the way that True Parents and true children can meet each other?

It is through true words.  Those words are my words.  You cannot be children without knowing Father's words.

My words are absolute and true. You won't feel tired even if you listen to the same words for a thousand or ten thousand years. You'll never get tired of them. We must search for such words.


Just finding words is not logical enough.  It is a dominant principle that can give life even after one hears them again and again for eternity.

You must seek such words and live such a way.

The words of the True Parents are eternal and transcend time and space.

Therefore, God's words transcend history.

These words transcend time periods, principles, and ideologies.  They are more precious than the words of others.

These words whether you listen to them at night or during the day or read them at night, flow into your heart endlessly.  You must seek these words.

What is my bitter sorrow?


I failed to fulfill my duty as a filial son; I should have cried  and pleaded with my parents to join the Unification Church. I am trying to resolve this through you. I could not even witness to my family. There were eight brothers and sisters, but I could not say one word of the Divine Principle. My older brother obeyed me completely whenever I said something. I have restored Cain completely. If I told him to sell the house, he sold the house, and if I told him to sell the cow, he sold the cow. My mother and father could not be like him. To that older brother, I could not speak about the Divine Principle once.

From now on, don't keep quiet.

When people gather around, try teaching for seven years as I taught you for seven years in the 1950s, without sleeping more than two hours a night. You don't have to do this for seven years. It won't take four years, either. It will all be done within four months. When I return to my homeland, I will unite it in an instant. Therefore, you must teach your parents well.


Also, teach your brothers and sisters the true significance of these words.

Through your own blood sweat and tears, you should teach this yourself without the help of others.

Then you will become the precious uncles, younger siblings, older sisters, and sons and nieces and nephews who follow the model of the sincere attitude you have when you are teaching.

You must confidently proclaim these words from now on.

From this moment, you must proclaim the Principle to your neighborhood for eight hours or however many hours a day, even staying up through the night as I have done for seven years. You must do so. It won't take seven years; it will probably be restored in seven months. When this happens, I may load up a truck and come and see you. I am sure your families will invite and welcome me.



Father made the national leader, Mr. Eu lecture for sixteen hours a day for three and a half years.

When Mr. Eu was tired, Father felt his heartache when he would tell him, "Who are you trying to kill by lying down?  You lay down without even asking me?"

Why did they live in such a way?  They lived that way in order to establish a tradition.

Organize Reading of God's Words/Hoon Dok Hae

Words of the Messiah's speeches, which this blog is based upon, can be considered Hoon dok hae or reading of God's words. Reading The Divine Principle or various books by Reverend Sun Myung Moon has the same spiritual effect.

Why?

Father's words are never spoken directly by him, but they are words spoken by God through him.

Your hearts will be moved no matter where or when you hear these words.  There will be a great revolution within your body, when the heart is inspired.  There is such a power in those words.

Whenever there is a meeting, this is an opportunity for studying.  Whenever you find that you have time, this is a time for studying the word.

You should continue to read material hundreds and thousands of times until it becomes yours and you can embody its substance. 

Our members will become sick if they are inactive.

In order not to become sick, you must read hard, be tested and put forth the effort.

In other words, don't just read the word, but become the embodiment and put them into practice and spread it to others.

True Parents are the ancestor of words, character and heart.

Hoon Dok Hae, the reading of God's word,  is the treasure chest that I stored up under all sorts of hardships and deprivations and that I have opened up to the people. I have told everyone not to translate it; it cannot be translated. You should do Hoon Dok Hae until I say otherwise. You must know that. You should do Hoon Dok Hae whenever time permits. You should always keep a speech book in your pocket and do Hoon Dok Hae even when you are alone, even in the bathroom, and keep a record of the part you have read, even if it was for a couple of hours a day.

You should read the Divine Principle, but you should also read Blessing and Ideal Family and all the other major speeches because they are the records of victory over the satanic world.

We should become one with these speeches which include all past battles of the True Parents up to the present point.

By uniting with and following these contents, you will become one with True Parents.

These speeches and posts should take root in yourself, in you family up to seven generation, and then 160 or 180 families horizontally, all united together.

Between husband and wives in the Blessed Families, Hoon Dok Hae should be done for one hour every morning. If you cannot do it in the morning, then you should do it in the evening before midnight or 1 am.

Father has done Hoon Do Hae every day.

When he had to do a tour in South America, even though he was tired, he still did Hoon Dok Hae, even after midnight.  He did not miss even one day.

Therefore, he instructs us, too, to try to read it every day without fail.  Since he has built the super highway road to restoration to bring a world of peace, we should be able to become cars filled with gas and go at the maximum speed.

Talk about the contents of the Divine Principle until it makes you sick to even think about it.

When you keep going until you get sick of it, you will find that it is very interesting and exciting.

You should clearly know that sermons have the ability to create. 

Because God is with you, then your heart will influence the people directly.

Do you understand?


If you have not read the entire collection of my sermons, you are a dreadful bunch of people.


Father did not even speak the deepest contents in those speeches and he is unable to express them now.

You must understand how precious these words are that are held captive in text with the source of life within them.

This source of life is flowing away.

It is our responsibility to find a way to have this eternal water of life, finding a way to connect the water pipe to this source.

 But what have you done?

Are all of those books something that you can just sell to an antique book shop?

The contents of these words hold a greater value.
