Key Points

• Because of the fall we became Satan’s blood lineage. Because of the Blessing, we can recover God’s royal blood lineage.

• When the Last Days come, we can expect the increase of moral decadence among young people to expand into a global phenomenon.

• We really need to clearly understand the identity of Satan. Without knowing the identity of Satan, we cannot distinguish good and evil.

• We must reveal to all mankind and the spirit world that Satan is the ancestor of our false life, false love, and false lineage.

• The main points are God, the spiritual world, Satan and indemnity.

• The Kingdom of Heaven starts from knowing and liberating God’s sorrow.

• The thing that hinders our original life the most is when we always live a conceptual, habitual, conditional, and self-centered life.

• Among the spirits that have come and gone so far, no one has passed beyond the formation stage and growth stage and entered the completion stage. And they have never received the Blessing or met True Parents. Therefore, they are by no means in the position or place to guide us Blessed Families.

• The spirits who can help you the most are those who have passed away as a blessed couple.

• You must know how to deal with others with good discernment.

• In the era of Cheon Il Guk, we must voluntarily grow our hearts on our own.

Today is my last recording of Morning Devotion. Yesterday I was so happy to see my brothers and sisters live. Today we will have the Victory Celebration with True Mother, so we will have a chance to meet with our beloved Truy Mother. I think everything will be OK. I am just concerned that we really need to unite with her leadership. All our brothers and sisters need to be resolved to unite with True Mother. Then we need to achieve, to realize our True Parents’ dream, which is substantial Cheon Il Guk centered on Heavenly Korea.

Today I’d like to talk about “The Unity of the World and Humankind's Responsibility ” from True Mother’s Anthology 2.”

The tragedy of human history is that it originated with Satan, the lord of evil who took a position against God's ideal of creation, and with the marriage of Adam and Eve, who had become separated from God through the Fall. Inevitably, human beings inherited Satan's love, Satan's life and Satan's lineage. The human reproductive organs, by which husband and wife were created to join together in virtue, were originally intended to be temples of true love, true life and the true lineage. Love needs to be an experience in which a husband and wife join in a virtuous union to procreate children who will carry on the lineage. The center of life is love, and the human lineage is transmitted by means of the love and life of a husband and wife. The linkage of love, life and lineage is what gives history its continuity. 

Since the Fall, the human race has been held captive by Satan's love, Satan’s life and Satan's lineage. Adam and Eve were in their youth when they sowed the seeds of false love, false life and false lineage. Thus, when the Last Days come, we can expect the increase of moral decadence among young people to expand into a global phenomenon. In fact, we live in just such a time now. Satan has used fallen love as a condition to create a lair of sin in which a devastating blow could be struck against God's ideal of true love. With the relaxation of standards concerning sexual behavior, the increasing moral decay among young people and the plague of drug addiction in our societies, Satan has been able to work to destroy family structure and traditional values in order to turn this world into an earthly hell.

Thus, it has become impossible to find anywhere a true man, true woman, true brothers and sisters, a true husband and wife or true parents. Until now, there could be no hope of creating a true society, true nation or true world. The world has to understand that Satan exists and that he has brought about the fallen reality we face today. With this knowledge, we can find the cause of the disease and uncover the origin of the Fall. We must reveal to the world that Satan, Adam and Eve formed a trinity of evil, and that it is up to us to restore the original Trinity of God, Adam and Eve that is in accordance with the ideal of creation. For this issue to be resolved, someone must testify to the fact that Satan committed sin, and clearly explain the fundamental truths concerning the sin committed by our first ancestors. God and Satan have always known all the details about the Fall.

Due to the human fall, we inherited false life, false love, and false lineage from Satan. Restoration means to recover and establish true life, true love, and true lineage from false life, false love, and false lineage.

In other words, the Fall changed God’s royal lineage into the lineage of the servant. When you receive the Blessing from True Parents, fallen human beings bring about a great transformation from Satan’s servant lineage to God’s royal lineage.

This is really important. Because of the fall we became Satan’s blood lineage. Because of the Blessing, we can recover God’s royal blood lineage.

The original couple’s institution of love is the palace of true life, palace of true love, and palace of true lineage. Our eternal horizontal hometown is our parents’ love organs. And our eternal vertical hometown is God’s love organ. The reason the Blessing is so precious is because we can recover our original eternal hometown. And the reason God is precious is because His love organ is the hometown of my eternal life, love, and lineage. 

When the Last Days, the end of the Fall of Adam and Eve, come, we can expect the increase of moral decadence among young people to expand into a global phenomenon. With the relaxation(of standards concerning sexual behavior, the increasing moral decay among young people and the plague of drug addiction in our societies, Satan has been able to work to destroy family structure and traditional values in order to turn this world into an earthly hell

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, humanity has to reveal who God is and reveal Satan’s identity as well. 

We often say that we need to know God’s identity. That is fine. Also, we teach very clearly who True Parents are, but our lack of education is that we did not emphasize much the identity of Satan. You need to know that where there is God, definitely Satan is there. We really need to clearly understand the identity of Satan. Without knowing the identity of Satan, we cannot distinguish good and evil.

We must reveal to all mankind and the spirit world that Satan is the ancestor of our false life, false love, and false lineage.

He is the first father. This is really incredible. True Parents declare this point very clearly. 

We have to plainly reveal that Satan is behind all these problems of prostitution, drug addiction, free sex, and family breakdown, and we have to let the world know about the root of Satan, Adam, and Eve committing sin. 

We talk about same sex marriage and free sex and prostitution and all kinds of issues. Many people say we need to embrace them. That is fine. While that looks good, you need to know who is behind (such activities). We shouldn’t just embrace them; we need to clearly teach our second and third generations and any outside people who is behind (this activity). 

When you quarrel with your wife, your husband, you children, anyone, you need to know who is behind this. Where God is, Satan (also) is. It is not easy to love our enemy. We don’t want to hate that person, but who is behind (that relationship)? That is why we need to teach very clearly the identity of Satan. When we teach the Divine Principle Chapter One (we need to teach) God’s existence, the relationship between God and me. Secondly, we need to teach very clearly the purpose of our life. We need to teach clearly that the spiritual world is real. Then in Chapter Two we need to emphasize very much Satan’s identity, that Satan does exist and how much he has destroyed human beings, that he has destroyed you and me and our ancestors. We need to know about this point. And in Restoration we need to (teach) very clearly that we need to have a messiah. When we teach the Course of Restoration, one of the most important issues is indemnity. Without paying indemnity we cannot meet the messiah. Without paying indemnity we cannot go back to God’s bosom. Then at the end we need to teach very clearly who True Parents are. Sometimes we compromise so much! We sometimes forget the main point. The main points are God, the spiritual world, and Satan, indemnity. We seldom teach about indemnity. We need to teach very clearly about this. 

Living Divine Principle : The Principle of Creation 63 - Heaven and Hell (2) 

• It is not God who decides whether a person's spirit enters heaven or 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. 

Based on this content of EDP regarding heaven and hell, Father’s word today is very precious, very powerful content. Everybody please listen carefully to what he is talking about.

From Where can the Kingdom of Heaven Begin?

 <21-113> From where can the Kingdom of Heaven begin? Without dissolving God’s sadness, we cannot enter heaven. Since we have woven a history of sorrow since the Fall, we must restore all its links to the Fall. All the links to the Fall over six millennia since Adam and Eve have to be restored. The Unification Church Principle teaches about a God of such sorrow. Secular people detest sorrow and run away from it. The Unification Church Principle teaches about God’s sorrow, which is more miserable than any other sorrowful situation

The More You Know God’s Sorrow, the Stronger You Will Become

 <21-113> The secular world tries to avoid sorrow when it comes to them, but the Unification Church Principle states that one must pass through the place of sorrow. All people in the world try to avoid sorrow; but humans are not originally supposed to be like that. The more we understand the sorrow of God, the stronger the power of the Unification Church becomes. As you understand more about God’s sorrow, the explosive force that will release his anguish grows stronger and stronger. This is the great power of the Unification Church

I am so inspired by Father’s word again and again. I think no religion guides us in this way. 

The Kingdom of Heaven starts from knowing God’s sorrow and liberating His sorrow. Therefore, the Unification Church leaders and the mission of the Unification Church are to clearly teach all people about the sorrowful God. Personally, what I am most grateful to True Father for is that he clearly taught me who God is and why He has a sorrowful heart. 

Whenever I think about True Father, this is the point I am most grateful for. Why is True Father a true teacher? He is the one who taught us who God is and why he has a sorrowful heart. I am eternally grateful to our True Father. 

He says that the greater a leader, parent, teacher, and Abel one is, the more one talks about God’s sorrow and han and tries to comfort Him. That is why we need to try to experience God’s sorrow. And we should cling onto God and shed many tears. 

As you understand more about God’s sorrow, the explosive force that will liberate his anguish grows stronger and stronger. 

What is the best way to get more power and become stronger and stronger? Father says if you understand more about God’s sorrow, the explosive power that will liberate his anguish grows stronger and stronger. If you really understand God’s reality as filial sons and daughters, you will always think about your own father’s sorrow, how to liberate him, how to make him happy. If as a filial child you think like this, you can grow and become stronger and stronger. I really receive strong power from these words.

The great power the Unification Church has is seeking to liberate God’s sorrow. 

Who can liberate and release God’s sorry? Only one guy. Who is that? One who has a filial heart: “I want to liberate God’s sorrow.” Then the spiritual world will give you explosive force and power. 

How did True Father maintain his first motivation, first resolution, first determination, no matter what happened? Because he always reminds (himself) of God’s sorrowful heart.

TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: The Attitude of Faith in the Era of Cheon Il Guk and how to Raise People

A Life of Faith with Freedom

1. We must carefully examine whether our life of faith is conceptual and habitual. Also, I need to reflect on whether I am living a life that is subject to the law of the Word. Our original nature is always free from that law when we follow it with our heart. If I obey the law regardless of whether it exists or not and follow the law regardless of who sees it or not, my heart will be at peace, and I will not hesitate to do anything. Prayer vigils and fasting prayers can help those who are entering the faith. However, as the years of faith repeat, you must become free, not subject to the given law. You still feel consciously compelled to do something because you are still under the law. In the New Testament era, the Holy Spirit established relative standards with those who passed the law. Believers who had established relative standards with the Holy Spirit always had voluntary hearts that they evoked. So, the Holy Spirit made them realize that their hearts belong to Heaven. 

The thing that hinders our original life the most is when we always live a conceptual, habitual, conditional, and self-centered life. Then how can we overcome all these hindering points? When our original mind voluntarily and genuinely wells up and we try to obey the Law of the Word, we gain freedom from that Law

In order for this voluntary heart to come out, it is not me that should become the center but the other object partner should become the center. When living for the sake of others becomes the center, my heart is bound to voluntarily well up all the time. However, if all motivations or beginnings become self-centered or you are reluctantly dragged by others, it easily becomes a passive, habitual, and conditional life. 

If we look at the history of the Providence of Restoration so far, since believers who formed reciprocal relationships with the Holy Spirit always had a voluntary heart, they were always centered on God and centered on others rather than themselves, their hearts always welled up. So the Holy Spirit made them realize that their hearts belonged to heaven. 

Faith in the Era of CIG

2. The Israelites in the Old Testament had strong pride as the chosen people through their laws and rituals. However, in the New Testament era, they established a relative standard with God based on the belief that came from the voluntary hearts of believers. In the Completed Testament Age, God is trying to accomplish His Will through people who evoke their own hearts from knowing Heaven’s circumstances, wills, and wishes, rather than the spirit world directly establishing and nurturing relative standards with them. The present age is an age in which actions must be made from the heart. Actions from the heart are actions that have already passed the law. Believers in the Completed Testament Age, centered on their voluntary hearts, understand others circumstances around them well, give for others, have harmonious relationships with others, and consider others as better than themselves.

Today, we have passed the Old Testament Age and are living in the Era of Cheon Il Guk. This age is an age when we must become the owners of this age and grow our spirits well ourselves. We directly received education and the Blessing from True Parents, and there are all kinds of textbooks so that we can learn and grow on our own. 

Therefore, today’s age is not an age in which the spirit world directly forms a reciprocal relationship and nurtures us like in the Old Testament Age and New Testament Age. Among the spirits that have come and gone so far, no one has lived passing the formation stage and growth stage and entering the completion stage. And they have never received the Blessing or met True Parents. Therefore, they are by no means in the position or place to guide us Blessed Families. 

This is a very important point. Those who have already passed away, our ancestors, never heard the Divine Principle. They never met God. They were never guided by True Parents. But we received the Blessing; we know Heavenly Parent; we already have the Divine Principle, we have received salvation; True Parents have given us the title of Tribal Messiah. Who is at a spiritual level higher than we are? No one. That’s why anyone who has passed away cannot do anything with us because our position is higher than that of any spirit. Father said it is higher even than that of the four saints or sages.

That is why in the Completed Testament Era and the Cheong Il Guk era, we are at the highest level. That is why you need to take ownership. The spiritual world can help, but they cannot dominate us. This is very important. That is why in the Completed Testament Era and the Cheon Il Guk Era we already know everything. We have had a chance to hear True Parents’ word directly; we have the Divine Principle and Cheon Seong Gyeong and Pyeong Hwa Gyeong, all the (great) text books. In the Old Testament Era they did not know what was going on. In the New Testament Era people today(?) do not know what is going on. We have very clear answers, and we are attending True Parents directly. Who can control us? No one. That is why we need to take ownership as the owner of Cheong Il Guk. Nobody (in the spiritual world) can guide us. 

I asked a spiritual mediator, “Who can help me most from the spiritual world? Our ancestors? Jesus?” She said, “Dr. Yong, do you know who helps you the most? Of course, God helps you. The ones who help you most are those who passed away as a blessed couple. They all come to you and help you, not your own ancestors.” I was so surprised. When I think about that principally, that is true. Those who have passed away -- the 36 couples, 72 couples, those who already know True Parents -- come to us and help us. 

Therefore, God is trying to accomplish His Will through people who evoke their own hearts from knowing Heaven’s circumstances, wills, and wishes. The present age is an age in which actions must be made from the heart. Actions from the heart are actions that have already passed the law.

Centered on their voluntary hearts, members of the Era of Cheon Il Guk must understand others’ circumstances around us well, give for the sake of others, have harmonious relationships with others, and consider others as better than ourselves. 

Faith in CHEON IL GUK and How to Deal with People

3. After you have passed the faith of foundation of faith at the formation stage and the faith of foundation of substance at the growth stage, you must know how to deal with others with good discernment. Treating someone with coldness can be loving that person. Treating cold-hearted people with coldness, and those who will appreciate you with appreciation comes from assessing the other person. You can't cover things up and be humble to anyone. This is because there are people who want to take advantage of you. So, you must be good at discernment. Otherwise, you will get attacked and lose yourself. People say that they consider others better than themselves for self-growth. However, can I just cover things up and treat just anyone as better than me? It can be confusing and ambiguous if you cover things up and say that anyone is better than you. This is because you are not subject to anyone's control. It's not about letting Satan control you. Satan works using a human face, so it is important to distinguish well.

Even though the era of the owners of Cheon Il Guk has come, we should pass the faith of the foundation of faith at the formation stage and the faith of the foundation of substance at the growth stage. After passing these standards, you must know how to deal with others with good discernment. Treating someone with coldness can be loving that person. 

Treating cold-hearted people with coldness, and those who will appreciate you with appreciation comes from assessing the other person. You can't cover things up and be humble to anyone. For people who live self-centeredly, you should treat them coldly. Since there are many self-centered people who try to take advantage of others, you should discern them level-headedly and treat them coldly.

When we see others, we must distinguish whether they are someone who is centered on himself or lives for the sake of others. You need to distinguish whether the other person is someone with pure motives or someone who tries to take advantage of others. Otherwise, you will get attacked and lose yourself. If you are told to treat others as better than yourself, can I just cover things up and treat just anyone as better than me? It can be confusing and ambiguous if you cover things up and say that anyone is better than you. 

This is because you are not subject to anyone's control. We cannot throw ourselves away and let Satan dominate us. Satan works using a human face, so it is important to distinguish well. 

This is very important.

Leaders Must be Able to Discern and see People Well

4. You must be able to discern people well. Leaders need to see people as they are. You must not put on a mask in order to witness or ask anyone to come to church. Sometimes, you must test whether you have an attachment to the truth and true things, even though some people are subjected to harsh criticism. Sometimes, you need to know how to scorn a self-centered person in order to raise them. What standard are you living on right now? Are you people whose first love is extinguished? Is the fire of your first love still alit? Heaven looks at whether you worry about yourself or if you seem to be a promising prospect. From Heaven’s eyes, there are too many believers who worry. When you first enter the church, God directly sets the standard for you until He calls you, but it is difficult for those who have lost their first love to overcome no matter how hard they try. Not even prayer vigils or fasting work. God does not try to raise us in such a low-key way. We need that kind of faith as a child. You must now know immediately what kind of leaders God wants in this Completed Testament Age. 

You must be able to discern people well. Leaders need to see people as they are. Even when witnessing, you cannot try to witness to just anyone. Sometimes, you must test whether you have an attachment to the truth and true things, even though some people are subjected to harsh criticism. Sometimes, you need to know how to scorn a self-centered person in order to raise them.

When you first enter the church and until He calls you, God directly sets the reciprocal relationship for you based on the heart that was touched. However, if you lose your first love, it cannot be restored by low-standard ways of prayer vigils or fasting like in the Old Testament Age and New Testament Age. When our faith is that of a young child’s like in the formation stage faith, we need fasting, prayer vigils, offering, or some ritual and system. However, in the era of Cheon Il Guk, we must voluntarily and grow our hearts on our own.

The spiritual world and our ancestors can help us and cooperate with us, but we need to know that we are the owners of Cheon Il Guk. We are higher than any of our ancestors’ spirits. In terms of position and of the value of the Blessing, how precious we are! We need to know that. We are entering God’s completion age which is the era of Cheon Il Guk. What does the era of the Cheon Il Guk require? Your firmness(?) of heart not subjugated by any other spirit. You need to have a volunteer heart as the owner of Cheon Il Guk.

Today I talked about “The attitude of faith in the era of Cheon Il Guk And how to raise people.”

Tomorrow early morning in Korean time, I will return to my beloved country of America. I will see you soon over there.
