Key Points
In order to fulfill the mission of Heavenly Tribal Messiah, we must live a life of continuous commitment. If you just decide to do Heavenly Tribal Messiahship, God, the spiritual world and your ancestors will all help you.
The law of heaven is to put public things first.
Am I a person with many public thoughts or private thoughts? A public life means a life that always lives with God.
If you work in the secular world but feel that God has given you this job and that it is His will, your work is public. Where God is present is public.
Our life course is an essential course for everyone to experience love on earth before passing on.
The most important thing is to receive the love of mother and father very well as you grow up. Children who have received enough love from their parents cannot help but become filial sons and daughters.
Only when we experience the love of brothers and sisters can we go out into the world with our horizontal love and practice love toward all people.
When a person who has grown up fully experiencing enough parental love and sibling love forms a couple, that couple's love is automatically smooth.
The family is the training place to go to heaven.
Among the four kinds of love -- parental, sibling, conjugal and parental -- the most important is parental love.
if a goal is given to you by True Parents or Abel, think of it as a goal and responsibility that Heaven has given you and that God does it through you. God prepares everything beforehand.
Those who do not believe in themselves are those who do not believe in God.
When we believe, we have hope that we can do anything, and we have strength, joy and gratitude.
Cherish the responsibilities given to you and fulfill them with humility, gratitude and joy. Then God will do all the work.
When you deny yourself and have an empty mind, then God will have space to enter your heart and use your body, your hands, your mouth and ears and nose, everything.
Through self-denial empty your mind so God has space to work. Then your work is very easy to do.
The present time is a time of bearing the fruits of love, fulfilling responsibilities while filled with love and joy -- not a time of ascetic indemnity. Rather an appropriate condition is to have a heart of doing things with joy and happiness with a volunteer heart.
No matter what you do, if you are full of enthusiasm and joy and let God work and work together with him as a co-creator, a co-worker, this is really exciting and you will never get tired.
When Abel gives you a job and goal and Heavenly Father and True Parents give you a goal, don’t worry because God will do everything. Just invite God into your heart, empty your mind and make space for God to enter.
Now we live in the age of love. Therefore, whatever you do, you must bring forth the fruits of love.
The course of the foundations of faith and substance that we are walking through now is a training period for building a family of love.
Today I’d like to talk about “Responsibilities of Blessed Families for the Firm Settlement of Cheon Il Guk” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
The fallen world is in the position of not having parents. Because Satan is in the position of the owner, this world has nothing to do with God. But you have met True Parents and are attending them. When you attend True Parents, without any qualification, without having anything, without having given anything, by forming a relationship with True Parents, you have become happy people. At the beginning it could be said that you were young and did not know things and could not realize them, but now you should no longer just receive. You must also reciprocate. As you have felt while raising your children, more than a whining child, a parent's concern goes first to mature sons and daughters who know their parents' hearts, and return love and happiness to their parents.
God is our Father. If True Parents are our parents, in order for you to stand in the position of mature children, you should become sons and daughters who come forward and before your parents invest everything, you should say you will take on the Will and say you will invest in it. You have that kind of heavy responsibility; therefore you must not forget that or think only about yourselves. A society of people like that cannot develop. Anything and everything becomes greater only if it is invested in continually. If that happens, it means you will hold a larger nation and world. We are living and feeling that. You must not forget that you have responsibility. (2006.08.10, Santiago, Chile)
True Mother said, “The fallen world is in the position of not having parents. But you have met True Parents without any qualification, without having anything. Now you should no longer just receive. You must also reciprocate. You must become mature children. You must not forget your responsibility as Heavenly Tribal Messiahs or think only about yourselves.”
True Mother said that in order to fulfill the mission of Heavenly Tribal Messiah, we must live a life of continuous commitment. She is emphasizing that we will hold a larger country and world through the Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission.
Even if you don’t have anything, if you just decide to do Heavenly Tribal Messiahship, God, the spiritual world and your ancestors will all help you. It is my responsibility to make a decision and to believe that God does it all with faith. If you believe this, it will surely come true according to your belief. God is your father. If you do not seek your own will but seek to do the Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission which is God’s will, heaven will surely help you, even by mobilizing the spiritual world (with) all our ancestors.
Decide to do it whether God will help you or not, try to challenge God with your faith... Faith is challenging and overcoming. What does faith mean? Faith means I treat myself as God’s belonging. I am a child of God. I believe in God. God is my father and mother.
Heavenly Tribal Messiahship is a public mission, not just my mission. It is one of God’s biggest concerns, (biggest) wishes. This is God’s will. I try to help God’s providence through my portion of responsibility with Heavenly Tribal Messiahship.
When I decide to do it, even though I have don’t have anything, no property or no money, if I am determined to do something for the Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission, then God has no choice (but to help) because this is his will as well as my will. He will surely help you and show you the way to break through.
Therefore we need to believe in God. My portion of responsibility is determination. When we are determined, God will show us the way to break through. Therefore we need faith. If we believe in God, surely God will mobilize the spiritual world and our ancestors to help me. That is why everything begins from faith.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Principle of Creation 60 - The Development, Perfection, and Features of the Spirit Self
• It is not God who decides whether a person's spirit enters heavenor hell upon his death; it is decided by the spirit himself.
• Humans are created so that once they reach perfection they will fully breathe the love of God. Those who committed sinful deeds while on earth become crippled spirits who are incapable of fully breathing in the love of God. They find it agonizing to stand before God, the center of true love, and choose to dwell in hell of their own will.
• Since the human spirit can grow only in the soil of the physical self, the multiplication of human spirits takes place at the same time that the multiplication of physical selves occurs: during earthly life.
Let’s study Father’s word.
What is the Law of Heaven
<47-272> What is the law of Heaven? It supports good deeds. Private things belong to Satan, and public things belong to God. You all must go forward for the sake of public service. If a person takes this difficult path and is faced with a lot of opposition, if they ignore the abuse and continue with full vigor, they will be the person who welcomes spring in Heaven.
What is the law of heaven? Put public things first. When you go to the spirit world, everything is governed by public laws. And since God is public, he deals with everything publicly. But Satan asserts himself and claims private things. That's why True Father said, “Private things belong to Satan, and public things belong to God. You all must go forward for the sake of public service.”
However, no matter how much I work in a public environment, I must check how much I live with a public mind. I must live checking whether I am a person with many public thoughts or many private thoughts.
A public life is what? A public life means a life that always lives with God. A private life is always lived with ones own thoughts and a selfish mind.
Therefore, no matter how much you lead a public life externally, if God is not in your heart, it is not a public life, but a private life. On the other hand, if you have a job and work in the secular world, but you have a heart that thinks that it is a job that God has given you and that it is His will, it is public. God looks at a person's heart and sees their attitude.
What is public and what is private? Very important. A public life is a life that is always lived with God. Where there is God, that is public. In your heart if there is no God, that is private.
What is the meaning of public and private life? Do you possess God or not? Whatever you do – working in the secular world or (studying in) school or carrying on a public mission in our church, if God is there, if you always live with God, that is public. However, even if you have a public mission, if you cannot find God and feel God, that is a private life. We need to understand the concept of public and private.
The Path of our Lives
<139-212> Today we are walking the path of the traveler, but what do we need to prepare? We must deeply experience love. It is depraved and corrupt to fail to receive love from your parents. Therefore, we must center on the love of true parents, true siblings, a true couple and true children. We must form a vertical family and a horizontal background, and create many families in the North, South, East and West. Thus, when vertical and horizontal are connected, a true family can be realized. Become a family that can be connected to the tribe, race (people), nation and world. Connect them with love, and bring Heaven on Earth! Do you understand? (Yes.)
In the end, our life course is an essential course for everyone to experience love on earth before passing on. In the process of experiencing love, the most important thing is to receive the love of mother and father well as you grow up. All problems stem from not receiving parents’ love properly.
Children who have received enough love from their parents cannot help but become filial sons and daughters. The reason children do not follow the path of filial piety is that they have not received enough love from their parents. Second, the love of brothers and sisters must be harmonious. For that to happen, We must grow up in an environment where many brothers and sisters grow up together. Only when we experience such love can we go out into the world with our horizontal love and practice love toward all people as brothers and sisters.
Next is the love between the couple. When a person who has grown up fully experiencing enough parent’s love, and sibling’s love forms a couple, the couple's love is automatically smooth. You should know that all of this takes place in the family. Therefore, the family is the training place to go to heaven.
Of course, there are parent’s love, siblings’ love, couple’s love and parents’ love; among the four kinds of love the most important is parental love. When children receive enough parental love, they can become filial sons and daughters. Those who become filial sons and daughters relate to their own siblings very well. Then they can have give-and-take with anyone. When they have a mature and developing heart, they become a filial couple.
The most important thing is how much I properly received parental love. Parental love is everything. That’s why if you don’t have a father or mother, if you are raised only by your father or mother, then this can create some problems. All problems come from a lack of parental love. This is the issue.
Why is my son and daughter like that? Why are all my children like that? Because they did not receive enough love. And additionally they did not receive education. Love and education are very important. All of children’s problems come from their parents – lack of love plus lack of education.
That is why Father says the family is the training place to go to Heaven. Especially the relationship (between) the parent-child is really important.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: God Prepares 95% Before Commanding us
He who Does not Believe in Himself Does not Believe in God
1. There are people who worry about a certain amount of responsibility without even trying it. They are overwhelmed because the goal was given to them. They are being controlled by their past thoughts, habits, and old preconceived notions. However, you must have faith that you do not do everything yourself, but that God does it through you. When God gives you a goal, He prepares everything, then commands you. But what if you are pessimistic and say you can't do it without even trying? That is distrusting God. Those who do not believe in themselves are those who do not believe in God. A person who values their original value will take a new step every day. They don't have to worry when taking on any responsibility. Because Heaven prepares everything then tells me to act, my heart is happy because I believe, and have the belief that Heaven will do everything.
When given a goal of a certain amount of responsibility, there are people who worry without even trying it. When certain goals and responsibilities are given to me, I have to think that God gave them to me. I cannot achieve the goals given to me with a humanistic point of view. If I judge whether I can or can't do it on my own based on my preconceived notions or my experiences so far, God cannot intervene at all.
Therefore, if a goal is given to me by True Parents or Abel, think of it as a goal and responsibility that Heaven has given me. Have faith that I do not do everything myself, but that God does it through me.
When God gives me a goal and tells me to do it, God prepares everything beforehand. But what if I am pessimistic and say I can't do it without trying it myself? That is really distrusting God. Those who do not believe in themselves are those who do not believe in God.
Do you know what happens when you really believe? There is hope and confidence it will surely come true. I am very inspired about this point.
When I believe that God really does exist – not only exists, but that he is really my father and I am his child, that God loves me so much, more than himself, that he is the one who created all things, the sun and moon and ocean, everything – what happens? Then I feel hope and (have) vision(?). If you truly believe, then you discover hope. “I can do anything. I can do so many things in the name of God. Because almighty God is my God, my father, I am his child, then nothing is impossible.”
That’s why if you really believe, what kind of phenomena appear? Hope. There is hope. You are so hopeful and so thankful.
If you have no power, “I cannot do it; it is impossible,” then you don’t have faith. No faith. If you have faith, really believe in God, really believe that True Parents are my messiah, Jesus is my lord, if you believe, nothing is impossible. You can find incredible hope.
That’s why when I truly believe that God is my father, I have an unimaginable hope that I can do anything. Otherwise you have no faith.
There is no need to worry when taking on responsibilities. Because Heaven prepares everything and tells me to do it, if I believe and have faith that Heaven will do it, my heart will be happy. If I have faith that all things are done by Heaven, I can do my responsibilities with joy and gratitude. I will have confidence that I can do it because almighty God is my God, the loving God is my God.
A person without faith thinks that they have to do everything on their own.
If you use your own power and strength and ideas, then you become easily exhausted and have no more power and energy.
When you really believe, you can feel not only hope, but incredible strength and power. That is the power of faith.
God Prepares 95% Before Commanding us
2. It is my responsibility to value the responsibility given to me, to fulfill it silently and happily with a humble attitude. Then God will do all the work. As long as I have joy that comes voluntarily, God does the rest. No matter what goals and responsibilities I have been given, if I have the heart to do them happily, God will do the remaining 95%. The important thing is that when God tells you to do it, you need to have absolute faith that He has already prepared 95% of it. With such belief, I only have voluntary joy that comes from the heart and the determination that I can do my 5% responsibility, compared to the 95% responsibility that Heaven does. Now is the time for love to come to fruition by spontaneity, so we should value ourselves. The time has come to stand in God's position, to know His circumstances, and to practice His love.
When you take on a responsibility, do not think of it as a cross or heavy burden, but accept it with joy. Think that Heaven is doing everything through me and trying to accomplish His will through me. Therefore, all you need to do is to cherish the responsibilities given to you, fulfill them silently with a humble attitude, and to be happy. Then God will do all the work. If you have the joy of obeying only what Heaven wants to do through you, God will do the rest.
No matter what goals and responsibilities I have been given, if I only have the belief that Heaven does everything and that I can happily do this work, the other 95% is done by God. The important thing is that when God tells you to do something, you need to have absolute faith that He has already prepared 95% of it. Why do you worry as if you were responsible for 95% of it?
95% is God’s portion of responsibility. What is your 5%? Just be determined. Just empty your mind. When you deny yourself and have an empty mind, then God will have space to enter your heart and use your body, your hands, your mouth and ears and nose, everything. He can do everything.
My portion of responsibility is self denial. Self-denial means to empty my mind. Let God work through me. Let him talk. Let God listen. Let God take action. When you are determined and empty your mind – “I am not mine. I belong to God. Let God work through me.” – you have an empty mind and there is space; (then) God can intervene. Then your work is very easy to do.
Why do you want to do everything with your own thought and mind? That is really stupid. If you believe in God, he wants to do everything. He wants to borrow your body. My responsibility is to deny myself, empty my mind and make space for God to intervene with me. That is my portion of responsibility.
As long as I have the determination that I can do my 5% responsibility, which is small compared to God’s 95%, and have the voluntary joy that comes from the heart, Heaven does the rest.
Wow! God will do everything. I just want to invite God and let God work. That is very powerful and inspiring. What is he going to do? I want to see him work through my body and heart.
God works when I have a willing heart and am glad to do it. This is the way we can work together with God.
If There are Conditions to be Established in the age of Love...
3. Reluctantly doing things in an organization is a big minus. Changing this mindset is not easily done just by praying or fasting. Now is the time to do your responsibility when you are overflowing with love and joy. Now is not the time to set conditions to beat the body through fasting and asceticism as in the past era of indemnity. If we are asked to set conditions in the age of love, it can be said that the condition is to have a heart of doing things with joy. Establishing a voluntary heart to do things because you want to love is the condition to be established in the age of love. So, in the present age, setting conditions to beat the body or making rituals a habit does not add to the spirit. For example, when you do laundry, you do it with joy, feeling that your spirit is truly cleaner. A person who is not controlled by work and overflows with joy through the Word is the owner.
The present time is a time of bearing the fruits of love, fulfilling responsibilities while filled with love and joy. This is not the time to set conditions to beat the body through fasting and asceticism as in the past era of indemnity.
If we are asked to set conditions in the age of love, it can be said that the condition is to have a heart of doing things with joy and happiness with a volunteer heart.
In the age of love, we must establish the condition to have a voluntary heart to do God's work because we want to please and love Him.
Don't think that you are doing this because someone else asked you to do it. If you think that whatever you do is something that God wants, and work with joy and thanks, God will help you. The spirit world does not work through those who work reluctantly and under pressure from responsibility. If you think Heaven does everything, there is nothing to worry about. If you live a life of faith with this kind of mindset and belief, all stress can be put to rest.
This is the way to get away from stress. (We can) work joyfully and happily because God does everything. If we invite God with self denial, then whatever we do, we want to see God’s miracles through me. How does he want to talk? How does he want to take action and initiate. This is really an exciting matter!
Final Love Destination
4. No matter what you do, if you are full of enthusiasm and joy, you will never get tired. You always just have a thankful heart. This is the journey of love. The family is our ultimate destination of love. The course of the foundations of faith and substance that we are walking through now is a training period for building a family of love. All relationships, such as sibling relationships and senior-junior relationships, are training courses to create the foundation of love for marital relationships. Therefore, you must become a person who is trusted by others in human relationships. Our faith course should be a course that gives love and moves others. In the Cain-Abel relationship and sibling relationship, we must enter the family while performing the circular movement and the spherical movement of love. When entering the family, we experience all the four great loves (love of children, love of brothers and sisters, love of husband and wife, love of parents), and it is our love journey that requires us to arrive at the position of parents as a married couple united by sacred and eternal love.
No matter what you do, if you are full of enthusiasm and joy, you will never get tired.
When you invite God and let God work and work together with him as a co-creator, co-worker, this is really exciting. You will never get tired.
You always just have a thankful heart. This is the journey of love. The family is our ultimate destination of love.
I do not do everything. Heaven does everything. However, when I think that I am absolutely obedient to what Heaven wants me to do, I feel motivated and happy to do all my responsibilities.
That’s why don’t worry when Abel gives you a job and goal and Heavenly Father and True Parents give you a goal. Don’t worry because God will do everything. Just invite God, empty your mind, make space for God to enter.
Now we live in the age of love. Therefore, whatever you do, you must bring forth the fruits of love. The course of the foundations of faith and substance that we are walking through now is a training period for building a family of love. Therefore, I need to win in all relationships, including siblings and senior-junior relationships. Serve everyone as Heaven. They are all training courses for creating the foundation of love for marital relationships.
Therefore, you must become a person who is trusted by others in human relationships. To become a person trusted by others, you should go a course that gives love and moves others.
In conclusion, God prepares 95% before commanding us. Actually he will do everything. My 5% portion of responsibility is self denial, empty my mind, make space. Then God will come and intervene with you. Let God work (and do) everything. Then our life of faith is really exciting. Nothing is impossible.
