Key Points
Through Morning Devotion, many brothers and sisters have met God and True Parents, have had spiritual experiences and life changing and healing experiences.
Dr. Yong feels that God directly intervenes with him and uses his mouth to speak with the members.
Dr. Yong expresses his sincere gratitude to God and True Parents for the opportunity:
to serve America – and through it, the world – providentially with Morning Devotion;
to proclaim and spread True Parents' words to the world through the Internet, to connect to and educate all people transcending time and space, and to live as one family under God;
to introduce and proclaim God's sad heart of Han to all people;
to receive the most grace to have met God and True Parents and had heartistic communication with them, and to have been the most moved through Morning Devotion, which was his savior, over the past two years;
to experience the closest heartistic communication with God and True Parents every day and be embraced by them, particularly from 3 am to 6 a.m.;
to realize once again how amazing the power of jeongseong and unity is through Morning Devotion and to receive reconfirmation of the truth that “Utmost Sincerity moves Heaven;”
to understand that the United States will lead 200 nations, cooperate with Japan, help Korea, and become the center of the world providence if we all become one through the jeongseong of Morning Devotion; and
to participate all together in the upgrading of the quality of our love and sincere devotion through Morning Devotion that we pray will unite this nation and the world – just as Jesus’ love impacted God and even his enemies and transformed history;
Dr. Yong sincerely thanks all the MCs, staff, translators, the transcriber and participating members for their heartistic support and contribution to Morning Devotion. They affirm for him that if his dedication and devotion creates a perfect plus, then perfect minuses will appear to support him.
He is grateful to heaven for guiding us into the completion period of the third year of sincere devotion. He anticipates the amazing work of God, True Parents and the spiritual world, and looks forward to our substantial proud achievements to comfort God, True Father and True Mother.

My dear family members, so far we have successfully completed two-years of Morning Devotion. Today is the first day of the third year of Morning Devotion. So, today I will take time to listen to testimonies.
First of all, I would like to talk about “God, Women and World Peace” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
<This was an invitational address delivered on September 7, 1993 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York> God had expanded Christianity and had lifted up a mighty Christian nation like the United States for the purpose of preparing the way for the Second Coming. Whether they realized it or not, those ministers in Korea represented all of Christianity. Because these representatives did not unite with my husband after World War II, worldwide Christianity and America began to decline in power and moral authority. After World War II, the nation of the United States and the religion of Christianity stood on a victorious foundation of Cain-Abel unity. The time was ripe for the Second Coming. However, the whole world opposed my husband’s work and missed this opportunity. He was expelled into the wilderness. He was forced to the bottom and has been climbing back up ever since.
Thus, the Cold War began. The world separated again into two worldwide spheres of Cain and Abel, just as it had during World War II. Denying God, just as the thief on the left denied Jesus, communism represented the Cain-type world. Christian democracies, which affirmed the existence of God, represented the thief on the right and the Abel-type world. It was God's Will that the Messiah of the Second Coming unite these two hostile blocs. That is why we mobilized our church to help settle conflicts between the right wing, represented by the free world, and the left wing, represented by communism. We also have been working in the role of a peacemaker on behalf of Christianity, Judaism and our Islamic brothers and sisters.

(Naokimi: Lesson in pronouncing Dr. Yong’s name correctly with a long “o.”)
Thank you for your correct pronunciation: “Dr. Yong.” American people are not used to distinguishing (the sound).
Thank you, Naokimi, for your exemplary leadership in encouraging all brothers and sisters to participate in Morning Devotion, not just in America and Canada, but all over the world. They are supporting Morning Devotion. I have received so much feedback from everywhere. Many of them have met God and True Parents and had spiritual experiences. Many have also had life changing experiences and healing experiences.
That is why I feel this is not just Dr. Yong giving this guidance. God directly intervenes with me and uses my mouth to speak with the members.
As I reflect on the past two years, I would like to share today:
10 Things I am Grateful for from the Past Two Years of Morning Devotion
1.First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to God and True Parents for giving me the opportunity to serve the United States, the elder son nation and the center of the world, providentially through Morning Devotion. When I came to America, I realized that serving America meant serving the world.
I am really grateful that during my life(time) Heavenly Father has brought me to America and I have had the opportunity to serve such a beautiful nation as the United States. This nation is one of the chosen countries, a Christian country. Thank God! Thank our True Parents! I (have) realized (that) if we change America, we change the world, because America is the center of the world, not just geographically but also providentially and spiritually as well.
2. I am sincerely grateful to be given this opportunity to proclaim and spread True Parents' words to the world through the Internet and the benefits of modern civilization on behalf of God and True Parents. Now, the whole world has entered the era of the one-second realm, according to True Mother, and we can educate all people transcending time and space.
While True Father was alive if he had known the benefits of modern civilization and the Internet, I think he would have used them to the maximum.
The time has come for us to connect to everybody and live as one family under God.
3. I sincerely thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce and proclaim God's sorrowful heart of Han to all people. God is not only an all-powerful God, but also a pitiful God who lost His children and is sad even today.
He is so sad even today. I am so happy that I can introduce who God is, his reality, his sorrowful heart. How long God waited and waited for this day. Because of modern technology we can proclaim to everybody the reality of God, that he is not simply a joyful, almighty God. We can proclaim and declare and introduce God’s inner, sorrowful heart, his han. I am really grateful that God has given me this opportunity to share and introduce and proclaim (this) to the people.
4. The person who received the most grace and was the most moved through Morning Devotion over the past two years was none other than myself. Morning Devotion was, in a word, my savior for myself. Thank you, God and True Parents.
Of course, maybe many have had some kind of incredible grace and benefit from Morning Devotion. To me Morning Devotion has been my savior. Because of Morning Devotion I have met God and True Parents, I have had really heartistic communication with him, more than before, and through Morning Devotion I have met so many of our brothers and sisters. It is really an incredible time for me.
5. It has been 47 years since I joined the Unification Church. Up until now, I struggled to run Morning Devotion every day, but in particular, Morning Devotion in the United States for the past two years has allowed me to have the closest heartistic communication with God and True Parents. Every day from 3 am to 6 am, I had a heartfelt conversation with God. Thank, Heavenly Father and True Parents.
Of course, I often communicate with God, but since I came to America, I have had to prepare very seriously every day. The most important thing is how I can communicate with God. Everyone can speak (to God) and read. How can I deliver God’s heart, emotions and will to people?
That is why I am desperate to meet God first. Without meeting and communicating with God, I cannot convey anything to the people.
That’s why during the past two years, I have felt that God has not left me even for one second. He always has been with me. I feel that way. When I wake up, “Heavenly God, ...” and he immediately comes to me and embraces me and talks to me. That is why Morning Devotion has been my savior. It was a great time to have a close relationship with God. That is why I am the one who received the greatest benefit through Morning Devotion.
6. I had a great realization once again how amazing the power of jeongseong, the power of utmost sincerity, is through Morning Devotion. God once again confirmed the truth of “Utmost Sincerity moves Heaven.” Thank you very much.
Not through money. Not through human beings power. There are 360 million people. How can we change America through one persons hard work and investment? It is impossible. If we work together with brothers and sisters, put our jeongseong together and create unity, then through that kind of power our utmost heart and unity really moves heaven. I again confirm the truth of “Utmost sincerity moves heaven.”
7. I sincerely thank you for making me realize again that those who offer jeongseong will always be the center. I have no doubt that the United States will become the center of the world providence if all members of the United States become one through the jeongseong of Morning Devotion.
America can change the entire world because jeongseong always becomes the center. That’s why in order to lead 200 nations, in order to help the Father nation, in order to cooperate with the Mother nation, Japan, in order to handle the sibling nations, what is the best way? I think jeongseong is the key. Our jeongseong reaches heaven centered on the whole American membership. I think we can change America and the spiritual world. I have seriously realized the importance of offering jeongseong. Then jeongseong becomes the center.
8. Thank you for upgrading the quality of love and sincere devotion of all members, including myself, through Morning Devotion. When Jesus died on the cross, the quality of true love with which he loved his enemies touched God and even the enemies and had a great influence on the 2,000-year history (since then).
Not because he was the messiah, but because of the quality of his love. His love was really true love that influenced 2,000 years of human history after his death. How can we change America? How can we influence th whole world? Through the quality of jeongseong.
Just as the quality of one person's true love had an impact on God, all humankind, and history, today I hope that the quality of jeongseong offered by the United States will become an opportunity to unite the United States and the world.
I truly believe in that.
9. I sincerely thank all the MCs, staff, and translators who have worked hard for Morning Devotion. Also, thank you to all the members who gave support heartistically and with donations. I give special thanks to Dr. Michael Kiely.
I realized that a perfect plus can create a perfect minus. When I really dedicate something 100% for God, that kind of object person surely appears. God’s truth is an incredible principle! As much as I dedicate (myself) to God, Heavenly Father sends me that kind of object partner. This is not a members’ problem(?). (What matters is) how much your dedication and devotion is. Then God will definitely send that kind of object partner to you to support you. (It is) an incredible principle! A perfect plus can create a perfect minus.
10. Thank you for guiding us so that we can dedicate ourselves to the period of completion in the third year beyond the formation and growth stages, which was the period of devotion for the past two years. Now, I have no doubt that when the third year of sincere devotion begins, the amazing work of God, True Parents, the spirit world and the work of substantially bringing proud achievements will take place. Thank you.
I am telling you, now we are entering the third year, completion stage. Now we can bring substantial results that nobody can deny through Blessing events, through the New Life Campaign, through ACLC and WCLC, Connectivity, UPF and WFWP. I am telling you, God will pour out his Holy Spirit.
From now on we can bring substantial results and we can make our True Mother, our central figure, very happy. I really want to comfort True Mother not just through words but through substantial results. Now the time has come to bring substantial results based on our continental jeongseong foundation. Let’s believe in that, and let’s bring incredible results because the spiritual world knows that we have already laid the foundation.
I can see great hope in the Clifton Church and other places. Once again, thank you so much, my brothers and sisters, for your participation in beautiful Morning Devotion!♦
