Ep 492 - Establish Heaven's Tradition Part 3
Establish Heaven’s Tradition 127-12-13-40 - March 1, 2022 - Korean March 1 (Independence) Movement
Thank you very much for your really great prayer for the current situation in Ukraine.
I think many brothers and sisters have become involved and joined together and prayed together.
(Showing photos) Yesterday I visited the WFWPI-UN Office and had lunch together (with the staff). I would like to thank all the staff, led by Merely Barrete Barlaan. Although the staff was small, they were working very hard with a big vision. God and TPs bless our WFWPI-UN!
These two Japanese ladies really supported our Merely and our second generation. Our second generation, Grace and Marco, were working hard. So beautiful! I think heaven(?) is very happy to see this …
Today I’d like to talk about “Establish Heaven’s Tradition” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
If we think about God's Will and humankind, there is no time. There is really no time. If we think that all of those people are my brothers, my family, my tribe, can't we manage to offer this nation of Korea to God? When will we be able to offer all humankind before Heaven? You have to make a life or death determination and invest everything you have. There is no more opportunity to repay Heaven. Think about it. Because I am here on earth, Father will do even greater works. In the future you will be able to experience that Father is with you in spirit. True Father promised that. So, if you want to see Father, please bring substantial results. I hope you can see him that way. During his lifetime, Father did not expose his arms and legs to anyone. He said that he took great care to protect his body, even in prison. Do you think he will appear to anyone anytime and perform spiritual works? So I am saying, “Let's move forward with one accord, totally focused on the Will and centered on the Principle.” (2012.10.25, BonHyang Won)
True Parents are as one person. Our thoughts and our will are one. You must become one with me. My thoughts must become your thoughts, and your thoughts must become mine. On that point, you must clearly boast that you are the children of our proud True Parents. There is no need to hesitate. If you listen to what I say, follow, and do as I say, Heaven will work with you. At that moment, your dreams will be achieved. You must unite 100 percent with True Parents. (2017.03.29, CheongPyeong Training Center)
True Mother said, “True Parents are as one person. Our thoughts and our will are one. You must become one with me. My thoughts must become your thoughts, and your thoughts must become mine.”
Just as the body and mind cannot be separated, True Father and True Mother should not be considered separately. The more we think of True Father and True Mother as separate, the more complicated our thinking becomes (providing an) opportunity for Satan to accuse us.
God's strategy always tries to unite, and Satan's strategy always tries to separate. The purpose of Satan's separation is that he will eventually become the center. To deny True Mother is to deny True Father's entire life, who lived with True Mother for 52 years. To deny True Mother is to deny everything about True Father. Have you ever heard of the principle that there can be a fall after completion?
Don’t have this kind of principle, my brothers and sisters. To deny True Mother is to deny True Father and to deny the completion of our True Parents. How stupid!
True Mother often said: “Father’s thoughts are my thoughts, and my thoughts are his thoughts.” Therefore, in our confession of faith, we must always consider that True Parents are as one person.
The most important thing is that the place where God's Cheon Il Guk must be established is not in the spirit world, but on this earth.
And God has never used a person in the spirit world as the central figure while carrying out the providence of restoration in the past. He has always searched for and conducted the providence with people on the earth.
So, when Jesus ascended into heaven, he gave Peter the key to the gates of heaven and said in Matthew 16:19 “And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Since the fruits of God's providence must be realized on this earth, we must know for sure that the person in charge on this earth is True Mother, not True Father.
Therefore, God and Jesus embrace True Father and all the prophets and sages are focused on the providence on the earth. We must not forget that True Mother is the center of that providence on Earth. That is why we need to unite together. Jesus was the messiah, but he is in the spiritual world. Our True Father is in the spiritual world. We need to establish God’s kingdom of heaven, which is cheon il guk, on the earth, not in the spiritual world. This is very important.
That's why True Mother said, "If you listen to what I say, follow, and do as I say, Heaven will work with you." In that sense, True Mother said that we should become one with her 100%. She said that it is also the way our dreams can come true.
Our dreams are True Mother’s dreams. True Mother’s dreams are our dreams. There is no separation.
Anyone who tries to separate True Mother and True Father is substantial Satan. This is the most important thing centering on our current providence.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Principle of Creation 22 - A Lifestyle Based on Dual Purposes
Let’s study EDP content first.
Dual Purposes
• All entities have dual purposes.
• Every entity has dual centers of movement, one of internal nature and another of external form. These centers pursue corresponding purposes-for the sake of the whole and for the sake of the individual-whose relationship is the same as that between internal nature and external form.
• These dual purposes relate to each other as cause and result, internal and external, and subject partner and object partner.
• Hence, there cannot be any individual purpose which does not support the whole purpose, nor can there be any whole purpose that does not guarantee the interests of the individual.
Based on this content of EDP, let’s study True Father’s words directly.
Human Beings Have Dual Purposes
<19-97> Jesus had to stand in a position of consolidating his individual victory and also the victories on the levels of the family, tribe and people. You must understand this point. When I see the Unification Church members today, they are good at talking about the principle but are unable to lead an internal life of establishing indemnity conditions. The perfection of the individual, or put to it in another way, if the individual desires to find rest on the foundation of a family, it is not enough with just the indemnity conditions of the individual. When he establishes indemnity conditions of the family, Satan will be unable to violate that family. Consequently, the individual can find rest. In other words, the dual purposes must be fulfilled.
Every human being should achieve dual purposes. For example, in order to achieve individual perfection, individual perfection must be achieved as an individual purpose, but the individual cannot be protected unless he goes one step further and lays the foundation for the family. Therefore, when an individual lives for the whole purpose of the family, they are protected.
We call this the principle of dual purposes.
In order for a people to be completed, it must have a fence called a country to protect it. How can a people without a nation be protected? Therefore, everything must serve a dual purpose.
If I do not fulfill the mission of the tribal messiah, my family can never be protected. It means that my family will be protected and settled spiritually only when we complete the mission of the tribal messiah.
How, then, will America be protected? It has to live for the world. You should know that the fence that can protect America is the world. If the United States lives for the 200 countries around the world, all 200 countries would try to protect the United States when the United States finds itself in a difficult situation.
That is why we always need to understand what the life of dual purposes is.
<19-97> Human beings have dual purposes where they seek a family in order to exist as an individual, a tribe if they have a family, while the tribe seeks society, and society seeks a nation. Therefore, you should not lay a foundation of victory with just the perfection of your individual. For an individual to stand, he must be victorious centering on the protective fence of a family, and secure a position that Satan cannot infiltrate. Only when you enter that position can you find rest. In order for a family to be protected, it must bear the tribal cross, present the tribal indemnity conditions and be victorious over Satan. Only then can the family stand on that foundation. This again is because of dual purpose.
To achieve the dual purposes, one must take one step ahead and bear the cross. In order for the family to be protected, it must bear the cross for the tribe, and for the nation to be protected, it must bear the cross of the world.
In order for the world to be protected, one must bear the cross of God for the entire universe and furthermore(?beyond?).
If there is no principle and values for this dual purpose, they will all pursue personal goals, and they will all perish.
However, the important thing is that in order to achieve the dual purposes, we must go to the place of sacrifice by carrying the cross for a greater purpose.
In that sense, the United States, whether asleep or awake, must carry the cross and go the path of sacrifice in order to save the world.
I continuously emphasize to our brothers and sisters that America really needs to lead the entire world. We need to think what our dual purpose is. What is the greater purpose for America? We need to serve and live for the sake of the world. Eating, sleeping, drinking, whatever we do, our whole purpose is to serve the world. This is the only way we can be protected. We need to take a course(?cause?) for the sake of the world. This is the only way America can be protected.
This is an incredible, undeniable principle: dual purposes. That is why we need to (fulfill) this kind of role very well.
<19-97>Then what must be done for the tribe to be included? The tribe must present indemnity conditions on the national level in order to be included. The tribes of Israel cannot find rest unless they unite with Jesus and establish indemnity conditions on the national level. It was during the process of preparing for this battle that Jesus was driven to the cross and died. That is why the standards for the individual, family, tribe, people, and nation was not established at all on the earth.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Women Who Should Respect Their Husband Like God
1. All women of our Unification Movement, if you receive love and the Blessing from Heaven, you must be cherished by the archangel (husband). In other words, it is because the position of the Blessed wife is the position of receiving God’s love in the position of True Father’s object partner. When Eve's love goes to Adam (the archangel) and that love returns to Eve again, her husband is really thought of as Adam (the restored Adam's position). Therefore, when the Blessed wife in the position of True Father’s bride loves Adam in the archangel’s position, and Adam in the position of the archangel returns love, Adam begins to grow. Blessed women should be valued by her husband (in the position of the archangel). You really have to do your best to make your husband respect you.
You must understand that the position of the couple who (have) received the blessing is not the original position of Adam and Eve.
The blessed woman is in the position of the bride of the Messiah, and the man is in the position of the archangel. The blessed woman in the Abel position must then elevate her husband from the position of the archangel, the servant, to the position of the Son of God. Through such a process, the man who is the archangel must be restored to the (position of the) original Adam (husband).
In order to elevate the man who is in the position of the archangel, the blessed woman must enter the position of being fully united with True Parents.
Then, the blessed woman must be in a position to lead her husband who is in the position of an archangel in faith. She has to play the role of a woman delivering her man (her husband) -- really give birth to her husband -- in the servant position as her son.
The 3-day ceremony is done as a condition, but after the 3-day ceremony, it must be done in life in terms of content and heart.
After that we need to have a substantial transformation -- in the husband’s case from the (position of the) servant to (the position of) God’s son. We need to have this kind of transformation experience through our life.
Therefore, if a woman fails to establish her faith and is taken by the archangel, a man will never be able to change his lineage.
This is the Principle.
2. Adam must be saved from the position of the archangel (servant) by Eve, and Eve must raise the standard of her heart so that she can raise her partner to the position of the original Adam and respect and serve her husband like God. Otherwise, the lineage of the descendants born from the blessed couple cannot be transformed. In this sense, centered on Jacob, there was a huge difference between the children born through Leah (Cain) and those born through Rachel (Abel). The reason is that Leah and Rachel's positions and lineages are different from the point of view of the providence of restoration. Rachel had many conflicts with Leah, but she sincerely repented and entered a relationship with Jehovah God, and Joseph was the child born on such a foundation.
3. From that standpoint, children born from the Blessing are different from secular children. Blessed children have strong personalities and do not listen well, but instead, they are spiritually sensitive, and when they are convinced, they deny themselves and obey. In other words, when Blessed children are connected with their original nature, they try to obey the will. Look at Joseph and other brothers born to Rachel. Joseph was of a different lineage from the other brothers. Although he was ignored and misunderstood by his brothers because of his dreams, he did not lose the standard of that dream he had, and he eventually triumphed at the age of 30. Joseph's disposition was not a disposition that, once convinced by faith and established a standard, never changed or was shaken in the first place. Even though all of Joseph’s brothers ignored him and did not form any common base, we can tell that Joseph's standard of heart was that high. If you look at this, through the restoration of the mother’s lineage, the children's level of heart is different.
A blessed couple must make continuous efforts to restore each other's lineage as a husband and wife, but a blessed woman in particular has a dual mission as a mother to give rebirth to and raise the archangel and as a wife in front of her husband.
Just now we have learned about the life of dual purposes. That’s why as a blessed woman you need to fulfill your portion of responsibility, especially centering on a life of dual purposes. You need to have the mother’s role and you need to do the wife’s role. You need to carry two missions.
By fulfilling these two missions, the blood lineage changes and a child with a good blood lineage and a high level of heart is born.
4. All Unification Church women who have not received the Blessing yet will become mothers in the future. Have you ever thought about what kind of children you would have? Do you have the desire and effort to produce descendants of excellent lineages that God can have direct dominion over? Therefore, before receiving the Blessing, you must have absolute faith toward God's will and True Parents. And horizontally, you should not be dominated by the environment. You must also take good care of the brothers and sisters around you while living your life of faith. If some are satisfied, some are alienated and some are full of hope and some are tired and exhausted. Then we must somehow raise the standard for those who feel alienated and exhausted. If you live for that, you will be able to round the angular character of your personality.
5. Giving love to others purifies the blood and raises your own heart. Therefore, you should try and do a circular movement of reconciliation by receiving dominion from the Sunday School children. In horizontal relationships, you should have harmonious give and take between similar sisters. But that is not easy at all. Because each of them have their own fallen nature, their angular character clashes with others. That is why tears, prayer, and devotion are needed here. You should struggle to become better at circular movements while working hard, shedding tears. When you encounter a difficult obstacle, do not try to avoid it and take the easier path.
In order to change your angular personality, you need to have give and receive frequently with the person you conflict with. Sharp stones become rounder the more they collide.
You should try to love someone you hate. Because it is by no means easy, it requires a lot of tears, repentance, and jeongseong.
6. We must strive not to lower the standards of worship time, prayer, and listening to the Word. If you set a certain standard through the Word, you should try to give and receive well horizontally. If the path is blocked and you cannot have harmonious give and take horizontally, the position of one's existence becomes unclear, and you become just like secular people. This is going to be the biggest concern for anyone. Therefore, we need to constantly strive to be stimulated by the Word and to apply the Word in our lives. When that happens, you can solve your problems.
The secret to overcoming difficulties is to gain strength and be stimulated through God’s Word.
The Word is the life of my spirit body. The Word is God's love that always gives me energy.
If you do not become close to or are not interested in the Word, you will definitely flow away horizontally. That person becomes a person who has nothing to do with God and turns into Cain.
Without receiving and knowing and relating (with?) God’s word, it is easy to become Cain, easy to complain. That’s why in order to overcome our physical limitations, our physical desire, we need to get strength and power from God’s word. That is why those who really love God’s word, this can become your stimulation and energy and power to control your physical desires. Without knowing and receiving and relating (with) God’s word, it is impossible to change my character and my life.
Therefore, we must live regarding the Word as life. The word is our lifeline. You must live always longing for God’s Word.♦
(Response to sharing) Just now we were talking about reading hoondokhae aloud. Anyone doing hoondokhae without (reading out loud?), definitely you will stop on the way. That is Father’s strong recommendation. And the one who became the champion of hoondokhae said this is a top secret to do hoondokhae continuously. Secondly, when I research Father’s life, I hear testimony from here and there. Do you know Father’s prayer style? He always prays out loud. Of course, in public situations he speaks quietly, but I researched this here and there, when he prays, he always speaks. That is one of the secrets of Father’s life.
(Response to singing of the Korean National Anthem) Wow! This is a very meaningful song today! This is March 1. This is one of Korea’s big holidays. Many Korean people gather together and have Om-Mansei cheers, (in remembrance of Korea) wanting to become an independent nation.♦
