Ep 558 - Seonghwa Students Part 3
True Mother’s Words (in Las Vegas) 193-38-14-40-558 - May 6, 2022
Today, I will have time to share what True Mother said in Las Vegas last week.
True Mother arrived with Yeonanim and Wonju at IPEC in Las Vegas on April 30th and Kwon Jin Nim and Hwa Yeon Nim offered flowers to True Mother.
Also, Jeung Jin Nim’s couple came with her baby Shin Bee and welcomed our True Mother. (Spelling of these names by Sang-moo Borneman)
And, then True Mother visited Cheon Hwa Gung which used to be True Parents’ residence and blessed the house as (the) Cheon Bo Branch of the USA.
True Mother took a group photo with the 2nd Generation who are doing witnessing activities.
I think they were shocked that Mother visited Cheon Hwa Gung. They met her and took a photo (with her). I think this will be an eternal photo for them. It was very beautiful and incredible!
Let me share True Mother’s words. I really appreciate Mr. Sau and the translation. I recorded everything, and we translated it. Of course, some of the content was True Mother’s personal story -- about drama, this and that. I deducted(?removed?) that content. We made a dictation of (all) the main content.
Today I will share the content of True Mother’s words.
Education is necessary in order to save America and raise up 2nd and 3rd generations. We need the work of the spirits. So, I will first designate Cheon Hwa Gung as the CheonBo Training Center branch, and then East Garden as the next branch. Because America is big, we start in the West and start the fire and go to the East. So we need to make 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations stand here in endless lines to come in and receive grace and even participate in the Blessing. That is why I have decided to hand over Cheon Hwa Gung. In reaping the fruits of the Completed Testament Age, this place must become the place to reap those fruits.
The church and YSP must go out as one centering on Cheonshimwon, the internal training center. As brothers and sisters, we must go out as one. Therefore, a spiritual phenomenon will also occur and America will be revived and rebuilt. You should not just manage the Cheon Hwa Gung, you must reap the harvest. There must be a revival. Like Cheonshimwon in Korea, you should also hang pictures of Hyojin-nim, Heungjin-nim, and Daemo-nim. This must become a sacred place.
Since this place is sacred, it would be nice to have someone around who can offer prayers of devotion. It cannot be done with just one person. In order to have workshops here, since you need people to cooperate, you must raise them. Mothers can do the cleaning and gardening, but we also need people to sing and play the drums. The reason I thought of one person is because he is from the 36 couples and also, his father is the son of Mrs. Kim of the Holy Lord Church, who led Dae Mo Nim when moving south. But by faith, Dae Mo Nim took the lead. There was a man living in Jeju Island who was revealed to be the younger brother, Mr. PH, who received a divine revelation of Jesus’ mission.
Internally, we have a deep bond. He is also the child of President Rev. SW, so I should make him work hard and make up for any shortcomings. Cheonshimwon Director(Dr. Ki-hoon Kim), isn’t that right? The Cheonshimwon director should also take responsibility as the training center director and help him well.
Dr. Yong must create a lot of members, whether they are 1st or 2nd generation. Dr. Yong, you must select one church in the area you are in and show all the leaders and members how to bring about revival of the members. We need to grow the church by focusing on creating members in places where many people live near the church. So with confidence, we need to show that we have the power so that people can follow Heaven's providence. One way or another, America must help the world providence by becoming a self-reliant America by increasing membership.
It is our responsibility to educate and nurture the 2nd generation so that they can contribute to the providence. Therefore, we must hold on to the 2nd generation tightly. So, we need to re-educate the 2nd generation and in this Golden Age, the 1st and 2nd generation must become one and leave a mark in history that they can offer up to Heaven. In that respect, heaven has given our 2nd generation so many blessings. He gave them such blessings that they could not lose even if they faced the world, but their parents and the church were not able to raise them well. That is one of the reasons why I came to America in such a hurry.
Naturally, if you are educated from an early age, it lasts until the end. I (True Mother) was like that. When I was young, as soon as I was born, the words “Your Father is God” made me who I am today. It’s that natural. That is how education should be.
In the meantime, since the 1st generation was too busy, had a lot of work to do, and received a lot of opposition, they could not properly educate 2nd generation. But now, we must educate them. Now we have to call out all the 2nd generations out in the world. 2nd generation children blessed by Heaven must stand well in front of Heaven. We have to let them take responsibility for that. That is why I am also running the Family Café now. Our goal is to allow our culture to naturally sweep away not only our church’s children, but also the children of the world.
This speech Mother delivered in Cheon Hwa Gung. The other was when I had a meal with her and Dr. Ki Hun Kim. Then she gave an important message. Especially she gave me personal direction about how to develop the American movememt. Let’s summarize what True Mother talked about.
True Mother’s Great Commision for the American Church.
1. Education is needed for the 2nd and 3rd generations of blessed children who are reviving and growing the American church.
Whenever True Mother speaks, she always talks about the education and importance of blessed children. She continued to show great interest in nurturing the blessed children and instructed me this time.
2. Cheon Hwa Gung in Las Vegas is designated as the CheonBo Training Center branch in the United States. If this place is well managed, East Garden will be designated as the eastern branch.
Finally, the Cheonbo Training Center was established in the United States. Everyone, this is an incredible blessing. Let’s give True Parents a big round of applause.
3. Let Family Federation and YSP unite centered on the CheonBo Training Center for education.
True Mother told the Family Federation and YSP to unite in Cheonbowon and focus on educating all the blessed children and young people.
4. We must make the work of good spirits take place in CheonBoWon. Let many good spiritual phenomena happen and revive America again.
True Mother has told us to become Cheonbowon who cultivate(?) in spirit and truth.
Mother keeps on emphasizing (that) our movement needs to go back to our founding spirit. In Father’s ministry to the earlier church, always Father cultivated in spirit and truth. That’s why Mother said let’s inherit that kind of spirit from True Parents. (We should) cultivate our members and our church in spirit and truth.
5. Instead of leaving Cheon Hwa Gung as a place only for management, it should be turned into a CheonBoWon, a place where grain is harvested and revived.
True Mother told us to use the bedroom True Parents used as the Cheonshimwon prayer hall.
I was totally surprised. She asked that True parents’ bedroom (furniture?) and chairs should be brought to East Garden and use that (we should use that) room, the most holy of holy places, as the Cheonshimwon prayer hall.
6. Hang photos of Hyo Jin Nim, Heung Jin Nim, and Dae Mo Nim in CheonBoWon like in the Cheonshimwon of (of the) CheonBo Training Center in Korea.
Now, IPEC in Las Vegas has become the second Cheonbo Training Center (after?) Cheongpyeong.
Of course, this (will) take time. Who will be responsible (will be decided). True Mother is considering who will become the Cheonbowon director for our movement in America. We need to pray about who will come to America to lead the Choenbo providence.
7. Mother personally gave me directions at the table one morning. She said that Dr. Yong must create a lot of members, whether they are 1st or 2nd generation.
When True Mother sees the movements of our Unification Church around the world, one of the biggest problems is the fact that the number of members is not increasing. So, I hope that all of you will actively cooperate with the New Life Campaign so that our American unification movement can grow very well.
Mother knows I am the one who initiated heavenly tribal messiahship in Asia and created some models. Also, when I was in Korea, I broke through in witnessing everywhere. Mother knows what I am doing, but this time Mother talked to me very seriously about this matter.
8. Mother said Dr. Yong must select one church and bring about revival of the members.
True Mother told me to choose a church, so I chose Clifton Church. This is now the headquarters of the American Church. In this church, the model of the church, the model of the ACLC, the model of the UPF, the model of the YSP, the model of the CARP and the model of ethnic groups must be created. Anyone who can help enable and systematize witnessing is very much appreciated. Now I'm going to start a witnessing team in earnest and try to witness every day.
Yesterday I visited the Belvedere training center because people started to use (it?) centered on Christian churches. I needed to report to God and True Parents. I prayed at the rock of tears very seriously.
I also visited East Garden. On the way I met Dr. Mor(?). He shared his heart and the importance of witnessing. He really tried to help me. He suggested many ideas. I really appreciate his and his wife’s dedication to support me. I am really touched by their sharing and contribution.
9. Dr. Yong must revive one church and show all the leaders and members.
True Mother is well aware that I made models wherever I went. But the important thing is to set (up) the example in America, the center of the world, so that the whole world can follow. From now on, each sub-regional leader must select one church from each sub-region and make a church that shows the same (way) as me. In the meantime, we have already created a model for morning devotion, laying the spiritual foundation.
Now we need to create a model church that we can show the world substantially.
10. Dr. Yong needs to grow the church by focusing on creating members in places where many people live near the church.
My hope is to revive Clifton Church and build a truly beautiful US headquarters church in the future with our own strength. I believe that where there is a will, there is a way, God will surely send people whom God has prepared.
The Clifton church is a very old church, and the location is not so great. First of all, we need to create a witnessing environment. When we bring much result, we (will) seriously consider how we can build a very nice and beautiful headquarters of America.
11. America must help the world providence by becoming a self-reliant America by increasing membership.
True Mother emphasized that the American church should be able to become self-reliant.
She emphasized this over and over again regarding the … issues and the Washington Times. She said many times we need to become self-reliant. How can we become self-reliant? She said there is only one way: we need to increase the membership.
She said not only to be self-reliant, but also to help the providence of the world by witnessing to many people. When we witness, (our spiritual children) are the ones who can … dedicate (themselves) and this will increase donations(?). We will be able to do many things. The key is witnessing.
This era of witnessing will seldom come again. True Mother is very centered on the second 7-year course, right? If you and I really unite centered on True Mother, let’s break through (with) witnessing. For a long time we have not broken through in witnessing. Now the time has come (to) break through and bring incredible results. Let’s really create beautiful happiness for Heavenly Parent and True Parents.
12. Kim Ki-hoon, director of Cheonshimwon, is responsible for the CheonBoWon Training Center and helping the CheonBoWon run well.
His position is to be in charge of the WCLC. All the Cheonwi won leaders have the same responsibility as the director of the Cheonshimwon(?). I think he can really help us. Let’s really work together and unite together with Dr. Ki-Hoon Kim.
13. Educate and nurture the second generation so that they can contribute to the providence. Hold on to the second generation.
In the next two or three years, many of these generations will hold public positions.
Naoikimi and I are working hard on how to replace the first generation with the second generation. Of course, some (first generation) leaders are okay, but some of them are 70 years old or more. We do not have much manpower to replace (them with). (For this) we have initiated educational programs and are working together with UTS. So now (this is) going on very well. I can see (that) many young leaders are coming to have a more public mission. I am really grateful. Naokimi has arranged (things) so well! I am so happy with his leadership. He (will be able to) do very well.
I will be 70 years old in the next 5 years. So, for these 5 years, I need to do my best to help the 2nd generation lead the church.
Do you know how much I love the second generation and third generation, our blessed children? They are not only my hope and my future; they are our future and our hope for America and for the world.
14. Re-educate the second generation so that the first and second generations unite in the golden age of living with True Mother so that their devotion will go down in history.
In order to revive the second generation, we need to create an environment in which they can come back. To that end, if many children of the Cain realm of the world are restored, the second and third generations of the Abel realm will automatically return to our church. First, you must love Cain. If everyone restores only three spirit children, it will be an environment in which all second-generation and third generation children can return.
We cannot only push the second generation to “Come back, come back!” but we are now changing our environment. How do we do this? We need to revive ourselves first and then focus on witnessing. Then many young children will connect to our church and come to our church and create a beautiful atmosphere. Then I tell you 100%, 120% that that environment can influence our second generation, our third generation, our blessed children.
15. Naturally educate blessed children about True Parents from an early age. As soon as True Mother was born, Dae Mo Nim’s words “Your Father is God” made her who she is today.
True Mother said that if we show our Blessed Children pictures of True Parents from when they are babies, they are instructed to educate them about who True Father is and who True Mother is.
At this time Jeung Jin Nim brought her daughter, named Shin Bee, and gave flowers to True Mother. Mother was very happy. Initially she (the daughter?) was a little shy. Mother told Jeung Jin Nim that she needs to educate her who True Mother and True Father are showing (her) their photos. “You know how my mother and grandmother educated me. They very clearly taught me that ‘Your father is heavenly Father -- not me.’”
True Mother’s mother, Daemonim, and grandmother were in the position of a nanny. She said, “From early on they educated me continually that “You are a daughter of God. Your direct father is Heavenly Father.” Wow! Mother said that (that) education was really incredible. She asked us to apply the same method to our blessed children.
16. True Mother said (we should) call back all the second generations out in the secular world.
In order to restore these people who have gone out into the world, we must first change. And we have to be the first to show. If we change and show, they will come back.
You don’t need to worry (about) when they (will) come back. Before worrying about their coming back, we should be concerned (about) “how much I have changed.” … “How much do I love God and True Parents and my brothers and sisters?” Without changing ourselves and the environment, our second generation, no matter how (well) educated (they may be), (will) not come back. That’s why in order to create a beautiful environment, we need to focus on witnessing, restoring Cain. When we focus on restoring Cain, that will incredibly change our environment.
17. Help the second generation who have been blessed by Heaven so that they can stand in front of Heaven and take responsibility.
As True Mother has a lot of interest and worry for the blessed children, all of our first-generation blessed families should do their best to witness (for the sake of) the coming back of the second and third generations.
This is True Mother’s main message that I summarized. I summarized it very well, right? (It is) point by point for anyone who needs it. I will give this content to everyone.
I would like to invite (Rev. James Stewart) to give a living testimony.
Let’s really appreciate once again our True Mother’s great effort, guiding us in such a way. How much she loves America, the elder son nation! Let’s fulfill our portion of responsibility. Let’s create incredible beauty, joy and happiness for our True Mother.
Let’s listen to (Rev. Stewart’s) testimony.
(Testimony of Rev. James Stewart, the pastor in Baltimore.)
I feel the Baltimore Church surely will become one of the model churches. I really feel overwhelmed! I am so excited! Anyone who witnesses and brings results is my God! James Stewart, your couple is my God! Wow! I am grateful to you for your commitment and dedication. Age and position don’t matter. This is incredible. You really stimulated me so much this morning. Thank you.
I forgot to mention that while True Mother was in Las Vegas, Rev. and Mrs. Joo really took care of her so well. Mother was always happy with their wonderful hospitality. He and others collected some money and bought a new car for True Mother and dedicated it for her centering on her 62nd wedding anniversary. I really appreciate the Las Vegas leadership and members and brothers and sisters.
I can see now everywhere members … have a strong determination to practice witnessing. Thank you so much … (for) your beautiful sharing.
You (participate in Morning Devotion) at 3 (a.m.), Steve Jares, many leaders, thank you for your incredible jeongseong!♦
