Key Points
WFWP gives women true liberation and should include men because the woman is the partner who makes the man whole and who ensures that the influence of love, including maternal love, sets the order of love in the family, raises her children in heaven’s way and leads the youth.
WFWP should inherit true love, true life, and true lineage from True Parents, should lead men who have disturbed the order of love by power, and should achieve ideal families through the True Love Movement in which mother and child cooperate to complete the husband as a foundation for building an ideal society, nation, and world.
Although the Principle is absolute and the fall, unforgivable in the Completed Testament Age, True Parents have paid additional indemnity and offered countless opportunities for repentance and forgiveness.
The solution to the fall is to return to Chapter One and reestablish our child-parent relationship with God. If we are one with his heart, we cannot fall.
True Parents have a sorrowful heart of having to deal with the families they have blessed, no matter what happens.
People who are sexually tempted should think of their sexual organs as a snake head or a poison pot.
Give without seeking to be praised or to control the donation’s use. Giving, bowing and worship are for self-growth.
Donate knowing God has received it and feeling regret for not giving more.
Fallen man is prone to arrogance when praised. What matters is how God sees you.
Make many unforgettable memories that God will have about you so that Heaven can remember and shed tears before you go to the spirit world.
If we do everything voluntarily, including offering donations, our heart gains many benefits.
We should attend Sunday service because we miss and long for the members. We should greet people with a big smile.
To lead one life to heaven, pray for him 1,000 times and meet him 100 times, according to a champion witnesser at a mega-church.
Those who join easily, leave easily. However, those for whom we invest much jeongseong will remain for a long time.
Your responsibility is to move, serve and touch people, and the responsibility to witness and bring them into the arms of Heaven belongs to the spirit world.
The ultimate concern of the spirit world is that all descendants on earth get connected with the Unification movement and True Parents.
When a member leaves the Unification Movement, sooner or later his life goes downhill. How soon that happens depends on how much he contributed while a member.
True Parents send us pioneering in order to train us to become true people and to have us serve as mediums to retrieve lost children.
Witnessing to our first three spiritual children is quite challenging, but once we break through with three, the rest are easier when we use the same methods we used for the first three.

Whenever I see each of your faces, I think you are each my God. I really love all of you. Whenever I see each one of you, I am so inspired every morning.
Today I’d like to talk about “Realizing the True Love Movement Through the Power of Women” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
<This speech was given at the 10th Korea - Japan Women's Bridge of Peace Ceremony held on April 7, 1994 at Seoul Olympic Stadium in Korea> This movement pursued by the Women's Federation for World Peace is one that offers true liberation to women. However, it is not solely a movement for women. It is also a movement for men. This is because when we look at the ideal of creation, we see that women were not created to be assistants to men, but rather their equal companions, joining with men to form, as a couple, the complete image of God. Women have the mission to guide men, who have been using their strength and power to breach the order of love until now. Using our maternal instincts and the power of love, we must establish the proper order of love in the family and guide our young people to the right path. As women who have united with True Mother, you must raise your children according to the heavenly way. Furthermore, mother and child should cooperate to make husbands whole and ultimately realize an ideal family through this true love movement. That would truly be a movement where true love, true life and true lineage can be inherited. Through establishing the ideal family, we then have to expand to build the ideal society, nation and world.
It is only through women who have been awakened through true love that a future full of hope for humanity can be conceived of and connected to True Parents' tradition. If we look more closely, we will see that this moment is one that will mark an exciting change in the history of the relationship between the two great nations of Korea and Japan. It does not end with the relationships between you who are gathered here today. The new sisterhood relationships that you have established today will become the model for all humanity to realize an ideal world without borders. I would like to conclude my remarks by hoping that your sincere exchange will become the catalyst to achieving peace in Asia and realizing a peaceful world.
Let’s summarize what Mother is talking about:
The Purpose and Mission of the Movement of the Women's Federation for World Peace
1. The Women's Federation for World Peace is a movement that gives women true liberation.
Compared to outside women liberation movements, it is a completely different concept.
2. The Women's Federation for World Peace is not only a movement for women, but also for men.
3. This is because seeing from the ideal of creation, the woman is the partner who makes the man whole.
4. The Women's Federation for World Peace has a mission to lead men who have disturbed the order of love by power.
5. The Women's Federation for World Peace must ensure that the influence of love, including maternal love, sets the order of love in the family and leads the youth.
5. The Women's Federation for World Peace must become one with True Mother and motivate women to raise their children in line with Heaven’s way.
6. The Women's Federation for World Peace must achieve an ideal family through the True Love Movement in which mother and child cooperate to complete the husband.
7. The Women's Federation for World Peace is a movement that inherits true love, true life, and true lineage from True Parents.
8. The Women’s Federation for World Peace must build an ideal society, nation, and world through ideal families.
Because this is the age of love, women should be the center of love. Let’s thank God and thank our True Mother. Even though our True Father has passed away, Mother, as the center of love, is leading us, leading our nation and leading the world. I really deeply appreciate our True Mother’s leadership.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Human Fall 6 - About Adultery
• We have explained that both the angel and the human beings fell due to illicit sexual love.
• Human beings and angels are the only spiritual beings in the universe who are capable of having love relationships.
• We can deduce that the illicit sexual relationship must have involved the angel and human beings.
• Jesus said in John 8:44, "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires." Since the Devil is identified as Satan in Rev. 12:9, we can assert that human beings are descendants of Satan, the "ancient serpent" who tempted human beings.
Based on this content let’s study Father’s word.
Once you Fall, There is no Restoration
<67-77> How many times have I taught the Human Fall specifically? What an amazing story it is! The principle is in kinship with eternity. Once you step in a wrong way then you fall for good. No restoration, there’s no restoration. That is the last way, the last way …If you make a mistake once here there’s no restoration. Can there be restoration? No restoration. There is no term ‘restoration’ and this is the last. If you make a mistake, this is the last. Once you fall, yourself, the doer, and even your children cannot be looked at. This world does not look at even the descendants of the rascal. Is there any Jewish here? Raise your hands. Let it down. There was a stone-killing punishment for adultery in the Jewish law in the old days, but we will face a more dreadful time.
The principle is eternal, unchanging, and absolute. Therefore, even if you know the principle, if you make a wrong step, you will fall forever. In other words, if you know the principle and fall, there is no restoration, Father said.
What has failed in the Old Testament age can be restored in the New Testament age, and what has failed in the New Testament age can be restored in the Completed Testament age. But if you fail in the Completed Testament age, the final age of completion, where will you go to be restored? So the path of the principle is the last path. Father emphasized this point.
However, True Parents have given us countless opportunities for forgiveness despite these strict words.
When you read the Bible, Jesus had so many words of judgment for the Jewish people. That is why he received so much incredible persecution. Jesus did not (compromise). He delivered God’s word straight.
It was the same with True Father. He never compromised. He wanted to say what God wanted to say.
We must no longer use the ritual of forgiveness offered unconditionally by True Parents.
If there is a problem with your spouse and your children, you need to educate them so that they can drink holy wine and receive the Blessing no matter what happens.
The biggest problem for God and True Parents is the problem of the Fall. Many blessed families and children are at stake with this problem, so what to do? We have no solution unless we constantly give them opportunities and embrace them.
Religion should not be a religion of judgment only, but a religion of salvation through love. In order to solve this problem of the fall theory, we must eventually return to the principle of creation and restore the relationship between parents and children. As in the parable of the Bible, we need to know that there are God and True Parents who are waiting for the prodigal son who has gone out.
Just as God has to deal with the problem of Adam and Eve's fall, we need to know that True Parents also have a sorrowful heart of having to deal with the blessed families that True Parents have blessed, no matter what happens.
Even though Father’s word is judgmental, sometimes we feel the pangs of conscience and repent again. If True Father is not the messiah, there is no need to talk like this. He really wants to correct us. He wants to give us advice to change our lifestyle.
Then I am thinking that when we hear Chapter Two of the Principle, everyone feels we are sinners. Some are small sinners; others are big sinners. We are fallen people, the descendants of Adam and Eve.
But when True Parents speak about the seed(?scene?) and the fall of man, how can we overcome that? The results of our sin are a secondary issue. ...
How can we solve this issue? We have to go back to Chapter One. We have to restore the relationship between God and me as parent and child. When we recover this relationship, what kind of phenomena will appear? As long as we realize that God is my God, my father, and I am a child of God, we will never fall.
Someone who has listened to the Divine Principle many times and yet falls has not yet known the heart of God. If you know the heart of God, then (you know that) if you make a mistake, your father will have more pain than you have.
If one understand God’s painful heart, then nobody will commit sin. That’s why the fall of man is a secondary issue. We commit sin again and again. How to stop is the issue. How can we recover the relationship?
When Jesus was crucified on the cross – yesterday I spoke about this – there were two thieves, one on the right and one on the left. The left-hand thief accused Jesus: “You are the messiah. This is an opportunity for you to bring a miracle. Why don’t you come down off the cross and save yourself first.”
The right-hand thief said, “We deserve to die. I killed a person. I need to go to the hell of hells. However, when I look at this man ... He is in the same situation as we are, bleeding from his head, both hands and feet and his chest, but how come he forgave his enemies? He must be the son of God. Today I have met the lord in this kind of situation. Jesus is the lord. I truly repent. I am a sinner. I deserve to go to hell.”
When the right-hand thief recognized his position – “He is my father; I am the son of Jesus” – then what (happened)? Immediately he was forgiven: “You will go to paradise with me.”
How can we solve the Chapter Two issue? “OK, I don’t want to see pornography or whatever.” (Then) you are only dealing with the results after you committed sin. You just feel the pangs of conscience. But the important issue is that this has already come up as the result of sin. How do we solve this? We really need to discover the reality. How do we recover the relationship between God and me?
Why does Father speak like this and judge like this? Because he truly loves me. We need to understand the sorrowful heart behind his words. Why does Father speak in this judgmental way? Because he loves me; when we (receive?) his love and concern and his wishes, tears come down. “Father, I don’t want to go back to Satan any more.” Like the prodigal son who realized he had committed sin and came back. His father did not ask (about what he had done). “You came back to me!) He recovered the relationship between father and son and embraced and cried with each other. And his father held a festival.
Many people just feel the pangs of conscience and are conscience-stricken but what about the most important thing: how to recover the relationship? Then Satan cannot accuse any more. You need to know that.
How do we solve the Chapter Two problem? From Chapter One. What is Chapter One? The relationship between God and me as parent and child. Am I right?
The Thing of a Man is a Head of a Viper and of a Woman, a Poison Jar
<67-77> You’ve perished to make this path, but you want to destroy the path and leave for somewhere? Can you be forgiven? So, now you understand clearly?-Yes. You must think that the thing of a man is a head of a viper. You must think that the thing of a man is a head of a viper. Say it- (to a translator). Where do you keep it, where? Women are the same. It’s a poison jar, a poison jar. The thing of a woman is a poison jar. So it is. You are going to do something without cleaning it up? That’s why the Jewish did the circumcision in the past, the circumcision. They took out the blood, but the circumcision was not done to women. That’s why a woman will benefit from a man of absolute obedience. You must know that condition.
True Parents suffered to the point of death to pave the way for blessing humankind. But if you break that standard, where do you go? It was originally impossible to be forgiven, but True Parents set indemnity conditions and gave us many opportunities to receive forgiveness.
True Father once again strongly educates us. Men who cannot take control of their sexual desires yet and easily fall into temptation should think of their genitals as snake heads. And he told us to think of women's genitals as poison jars.
What part did the Jews circumcise? Even looking at the circumcision ceremony, it cannot be denied that human beings fell sexually.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Voluntarily Do What is Right
1. When the mother tells the children, “Eat your meal. Eat your meal,” and the children are hungry and eat, they expect to be praised by their mother. Today we are just like these little children. The same is true when we make donations. There are people who donate and like it when each of their names is announced in front of everyone, but feel bad when they are not recognized. Actually, donations are not for anyone’s sake. In fact, the attitude of giving is that one hand should not know what the other hand did. When no one knows that I donated, the spirit world can cooperate with me. It means that when no one on earth knows, the spirit world remembers and cooperates. If you are praised on earth, doesn’t the spirit world do nothing to help? So, everything must be done voluntarily, not only donations. Do not be reluctant to do what is right. Those who live voluntarily always have more to be grateful for. The heart gains many benefits. Know this secret well.
In fact, we should think that bowing, worshiping, or giving donations is not for the sake of anyone, but for self-growth actually.
It is the wrong attitude to say that you can't donate because you don't know how your donation will be used. God sees the attitude of my heart when I give.
Giving donations according to who receives it is a humanistic way of giving. Once you donate, you should think that God has received it, and feel sorry and regretful for not being able to give more.
God looks more at the heart and jeongseong I offered donations with rather than the amount of my offering. As mentioned in the Bible, when we donate, one hand should not know what the other hand did.
When I made a donation offering, I told no one on earth to know. Then the spirit world remembers me and cooperates. It says that if people are praised on earth, there is nothing for spirit world to help, and there is nothing God can reward.
So we have to be really careful about getting praise or recognition from many people on earth. This is because fallen man is prone to arrogance when praised. What matters is how God sees you.
So, the important thing is to create many moments that only the spirit world and God can remember and be moved by, even if no one in the world knows, even the people closest to you.
You have to think about making many unforgettable memories that God will have about you so that Heaven can remember and shed tears before you go to the spirit world.
Also, it is important to do everything, not just donations, voluntarily. Do not be reluctant to do what is right. Those who live voluntarily always have more to be grateful for. The heart gains many benefits. Know this secret well.
If you do your work without a voluntary heart and a happy heart, you will be taken over and become a servant to the work, whereas if you do anything joyfully, gratefully and voluntarily, you become the master in charge of the work.
Anything you do without a willing heart, you are already dominated by the work, you become a servant or slave. Even though your Abel or ... some direction comes from International Headquarters, don’t think this is an order from somewhere. Take ownership over it gratefully, voluntarily and joyfully. Then you will already control that job, and you can become a master in charge of the work. That is why our attitude and our heart are very important.
How to Restore Unbelievers (1)
2. When you come to church, come because you miss people. When you meet people, treat them warmly. When you see someone without faith, lead them to Heaven, and have a relationship with anyone with a heart of longing and affection. Are there any unbelievers among your family and relatives? What should you do about that? The method is simple. You just need to love them. You just have to respect them. You just have to be a servant to them. If you visit a faithless family and serve them as a servant, they will be moved. In this way, the entire family that could not be restored can be restored. Therefore, nothing is impossible if you have a heart to respect and serve others. If you know God's will and serve others, the spirit world will not stand still. It will help and intervene. You can quickly see this happen when you visit other families to witness. Knowing the wishes of True Parents, if we visit each family, understand their circumstances, and move them, we will have placed an antenna that allows that person's ancestors to reside with them.
Let's always check our hearts. Let's live while always checking whether or not we really have a true heart.
When you come to church, do you come because you miss people? Do you really miss someone? When you meet people, do you treat them warmly? When I meet someone, do I approach them first and say hello? When you see someone without faith, do you cry because you want to lead them to Heaven? When you have a relationship with anyone, do you do so with a heart of longing and affection?
Our church culture needs to change. When you go to church, (do you) sit down on a chair and seldom greet your neighbors? When you go to the church temple, you need to greet (people) first with a big smile. (Greet) at least 3 or 4 people with a big smile and embrace them, shake hands and ask “How are you?”
I am struggling with our church. When I go somewhere in Korea or Japan, the church atmosphere is very cold and cry. Of course, everyone has stress and heavy responsibilities. They need to do this and that. I know that. But even though we have that kind of heavy mission, when we greet people in a heartistic way, our burden becomes lighter. That is why you need to show a big smile. Then all the misfortune goes away.
Many people ask, what is the best way for us to witness to those who do not believe in God? Actually, the method is simple, but it is not practiced. The way to witness them is to love them. You just have to respect them. You just have to be a servant to them. If you visit a faithless family and serve them as a servant, they will be moved.
I heard a very inspiring testimony. I once heard a believer’s witnessing testimony from an established church. He was the Number One witnesser. It was a giant church, really a mega church.
That person had a beautiful testimony about how he became the number one champion of witnessing. His slogan was very interesting. The person's slogan was that to lead one life to heaven, he prays for him 1,000 times and meets that person 100 times.
Can you imagine? In order to witness to one person, he made the condition to pray for him 1,000 times. And the other conditions was to meet that person 100 times.
It was difficult at first, but when such devotion reached heaven, they said that the spirit world witnessed each person.
To save one person is not a simple matter. But when you have three spiritual children, praying 1000 times and meeting them 100 times, you set up a condition to break through with three spiritual children. After that it is easier. To save one person is not easy.
How many times do we pray to witness to one person? How many times do we meet them? Aren’t there people who pray and meet them a few times and give up saying it can’t be done? Those who join easily, leave easily. However, those for whom we invest jeongseong will remain for a long time.
Therefore, nothing is impossible if you offer jeongseong with a heart to respect and serve others. If you know God's will and serve others, the spirit world will not stand still. It will help and intervene.
How to Restore Unbelievers (2)
3. No matter what you do, if you have the will and desire of Heaven to witness faithless families and people, and only move them, spirit world will not leave them alone through dreams. Heavenly law is like that. Therefore, if you cherish the wishes of Heaven and serve unbelievers and families with humility, Heaven will take responsibility. That is why we are told to live a servant life with a parental heart. Touch the other person and live a servant life for them with a heart that connects you with Heaven and the words of the covenant with Heaven. Then, God will surely work with that person. If you preach and witness according to this law, people will come to you after being taught by spirit world. A connection with the Unification Church is the ultimate relationship and salvation. That is why it is said that if there are people who came to our church, heard the words of the principle, were moved, and then left, we cannot forget them even if we try and become more interested in them instead. This is because the spirit world does not give up and keeps following them around and tormenting them to return to the church. This is the path that our ancestors push us toward because it is an eternal path.
No matter what you do, if you have the will and desire of Heaven to witness to faithless families and people, and just move them, spirit world will not leave them alone through dreams.
Your responsibility is to move, serve and touch people, and the responsibility to witness and bring them into the arms of Heaven belongs to the spirit world.
Heavenly law is like that. Therefore, if you cherish the wishes of Heaven and serve unbelievers and families with humility, Heaven will take responsibility.
Because Heaven's greatest concern is for His children to return to Him, the spirit world will help us as long as we act as a mediator.
If you preach and witness according to this law, people will come to you after being taught by spirit world. The ultimate concern of the spirit world is that all descendants on earth get connected with the Unification movement and True Parents.
This is because a relationship with True Parents is the ultimate relationship and salvation.
Why True Parents Send us out Pioneering
4. People who join the Unification Church, are moved by the principle and leave, often experience cases where things do not go well. However, there are people who experience that things work well for them for a few years, even after they leave the church. This is because their contributions to the Unification Church were recognized. It is as if the spirit world gave that person a pension according to how much he devoted himself to the church. Heaven will reward you according to your hard work. However, when all his merits and achievements flow away, he gradually goes downhill.
God's desire is to train us and keep sending us out into the world. Today, it is not True Father's wish to gather members in one place. True Father keeps pushing forward and sending out pioneers. So, he scatters members around the world. By doing that, wouldn't it be possible to fulfill the wish to restore the whole world and establish the fatherland?
People who join the Unification Church and are moved by the principle and leave, often experience cases where things do not go well. It is said that people who enter and leave the Unification Church pour out all the achievements their ancestors had built up.
However, there are people who experience that things work well for them for a few years, even after they leave the church. This is because their contributions to the Unification Church were recognized.
It is as if the spirit world gave that person a pension according to how much he devoted himself to the church. Heaven will reward you according to your hard work. If God does not directly punish someone even if they leave the Unification Church, it is because they have accumulated achievements.
That is why it is said that until the person's achievements run out, the spirit world cannot interfere. However, when the person's merits and achievements are all gone, he gradually goes downhill.
God's desire is to train us and keep sending us out into the world. There are two reasons why True Parents keep sending us out into the world. First, they are trying to train us to become true people. Second, they try to use us as a medium to lead children who do not know the will to Heaven.
Today, it is not True Father's wish to gather members in one place. True Father keeps pushing forward and sending out pioneers.
So, he scatters members around the world. By doing that, wouldn't it be possible to fulfill the wish to restore the whole world and establish the fatherland?
We, the United States, must also send our second generations and young people out into the world to train them and save countless lives.
Today I talked about “Voluntarily Do What is Right.”
(Testimony Harumi Ota, Witnessing)♦
(Response to sharing) 1,000 times praying for a guest means you have to pray for three years. Meeting a person 100 times, wow! Because of that kind of slogan and condition ...
According to my experience, it is very hard to break through with three spiritual children. But once you do break through with three spiritual children, number four, five and six and seven are much easier. The most difficult is the first three. After that, when you use the same method, it is much easier.♦
