Today I’d like to talk about the “The Proclamation of Cheon Il Guk” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
Our revered Heavenly Parent, the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, the king of peace and king of kings, Your royal benevolence is without limit. I hereby declare to the Heavenly Parent that I have designated this nation to be called Cheon Il Guk, and offer to Heaven the rose and lily as the national flowers, the crane as the national bird, together with the Cheon Il Guk flag and the Cheon Il Guk national anthem. Today, on this, the 13th day of the first month of 2013, I proclaim the founding year of Cheon Il Guk. (2013.02.22, CheongShim Peace World Center)
Heavenly Parent, Heavenly Parent. May glory be with Heaven and may praise and exaltation overflow to all people on earth. True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, we are so grateful. You have worked so hard. We know that today we are creatures who are unworthy to stand under the wing of this great blessing and grace. Yet Heaven has broadly and magnanimously embraced us again. Father, how can we be the only ones to receive this grace and this deeply moving experience? To You our Heavenly Parent, we pledge and resolve once again to move as one force toward the completion of Cheon Il Guk until the end of our days. Heavenly Parent, please embrace us. We have the fervent desire to stand before You as children who can receive Your love and be proud. Our dear God, our dear God! On this occasion I beseech You, our Heavenly Parent; please protect us to the very end and may Your Will be accomplished well throughout the entire world. (2013.02.22, CheongShim Peace World Center)
True Mother declared, “I hereby declare to the Heavenly Parent that I have designated this nation to be called Cheon Il Guk, and offer to Heaven the rose and lily as the national flowers, the crane as the national bird, together with the Cheon Il Guk flag and the Cheon Il Guk national anthem. Today, on this, the 13th day of the first month of 2013, I proclaim the founding year of Cheon Il Guk.”
Also True Mother said, “To You, our Heavenly Parent, we pledge and resolve once again to move as one force toward the completion of Cheon Il Guk until the end of our days.”
Since True Parents proclaimed Cheon Il Guk, the task remaining for us from now on is to complete Cheon Il Guk.
Cheon Il Guk has already been initiated, but we have not yet completed establishing it.
The completion of Cheon Il Guk is the work of reunifying South and North Korea with True Parents as the center to substantively restore one sovereignty, one people and one land. To this end, not only the United States, the eldest son, but the whole world must help the providence of heavenly unified Korea.
Please always when we first wake up, our first prayer we need to pray for our Mother’s safety and long life, and also we really need to pray centering on our goal of a heavenly unified Korea. The Korean nation needs to be substantialized as the substantial Cheon Il Guk nation.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Principle of Creation 50 - The Indirect Dominion and the Human Portion of Responsibility
The Reason for Human Responsibility
• God endowed human beings with a portion of responsibility for the following reason:
• By fulfilling their given portion of responsibility, with which even God does not interfere, human beings are meant to inherit the creative nature of God and participate in God’s great work of creation.
• God intends human beings to earn ownership and become worthy to rule over the creation as creators in their own right, just as God governs over them as their Creator.
• This is the principal difference between human beings and the rest of creation.
The Realm of God's Direct Dominion
<143-77> To come from the position where Satan can intervene, which is the realm of God's indirect dominion, into the realm of God's direct dominion is like coming into the realm that is influenced by God's love, centered on God's love. Up until what boundary can Satan oppose you? Up to the realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle. When you do not carry the portion of responsibility, Satan can slander and oppose you.
As soon as you cross through the realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle, you are already in the realm of God's direct dominion, which is based on God's love. The first human ancestors could not cross into the realm of God's direct dominion because of the Fall. If you are in the position to receive God's love, there is no Satan there.
The position where Satan can intervene and accuse is the period human beings stay in the realm of God’s indirect dominion. As long as human beings stand in a position of not fulfilling their own portion of responsibility, Satan emphasizes that human beings belong to him. Therefore, the reason we are still accused and intervened (with) by Satan is because I still remain in the realm of the indirect dominion.
However, Satan no longer stands in the realm of God’s direct dominion because it is the position where human beings complete their individual portion of responsibility, enter the realm of completion and begin as a couple.
The Fall means being unable to pass through the realm of indirect dominion. Satan can never intrude the position where human beings perfect the individual and enter the realm of completion where God directly dominates.
The realm of indirect dominion is the position for Adam and Eve to individually achieve individual perfection and pass through the growing period.
No matter how much one has perfected one’s individual, the start of the realm of direct dominion cannot happen by oneself. The realm of direct dominion must absolutely begin as a couple. We need to know about that.
Individually even though you may be perfect, you cannot enter the realm of God’s direct dominion. God’s realm of direct dominion begins centering on a couple. This is a very important point. In order to experience God’s direct dominion, you need to receive the Blessing. You need to start as a couple centering on the family.
Without the Portion of Responsibility, There is no Ownership
<143-112>It is not possible to have ownership without completing the portion of responsibility. Can you have ownership without the portion of responsibility? You can gain ownership from the position where you can receive God's love and can love on behalf of God. Ownership can be inherited through God's love. Then the right of inheritance is possible. Otherwise, inheritance cannot be acknowledged. That is why God has taken away all personal property today. What will happen after it is all made national property? It will be devoted to God and re-divided according to your right of ownership.
Human beings in the realm of indirect dominion cannot assert their ownership. Therefore, you must think that you are Heaven’s belonging. You must have a clear concept that all things and wealth that you have belong to Heaven.
If you assert your ownership, you are bound to be dealt with by Satan. Therefore, since the realm of indirect dominion is the period of changing my life, my love, my lineage to God’s, you must deny yourself completely.
For Human beings in the realm of indirect dominion to assert their ownership, it is only possible after completely inheriting God’s love.
Therefore, the very first thing we must do is establishing the condition of offering all our belongings to God. This is the meaning of the Total Living Offering donation.
You must completely understand that until you complete your portion of responsibility, you do not have any personal property. As True Father said, until you complete your portion of responsibility, if you own your possessions, it is not a blessing but a curse and disaster.
Wow! That is why until we inherit God’s true love, we cannot insist on (having) our own property... We cannot do that. In order to be prosperous financially, first, your goal is how to overcome God’s indirect dominion and enter the direct dominion. When you enter God’s direct dominion and receive love from God, then you can start to have your own possessions with Heavenly Father’s blessing.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: The Way to Deny Yourself
How can you deny yourself? This is a kind of faith formula.
1. Whatever you begin, think that not you but God is the one who does it.
This is an important point. Many people try to do this by themselves, but that does not work.
The reason people fail is that whenever they do something, they think they are doing everything, so they fail and get frustrated along the way. Whenever I do everything myself, if I empty my mind and think that God does everything directly, I must completely deny my thoughts, my heart, and my motives. And I have to completely crucify the negative mindset that “I cannot do (it)” and my fallen nature. This is very important.
“Oh, I do not know what to say to the Christian ministers. I do not know how to break through witnessing.” And you worry and worry. Those who are worried, those who are concerned with their own things, those who do not have confidence, do not deny themselves. If you deny yourself and have a completely empty mind, then God does everything. Why are you worried? If you worry, it means you do not trust and believe in God. Worry. Worry. Worry. “What shall I do?” That means a lack of faith and confidence. That means you do not have absolute faith in God.
Believe in God and let him work. What is my portion of responsibility? Completely deny myself. (I need to) completely crucify my negative thoughts and the mindset that “I cannot do it. It is impossible. I don’t have confidence.” This is centering on your own thinking.
When you have an empty mind centering on self-denial, God comes to you, intervenes with you and does everything. Why do you worry. You don’t believe in God! It is a lack of faith. Those who worry, worry, worry, check yourself. It looks kind of humble, but it is actually very arrogant. If you worry, you are very arrogant because you do not trust God.
Trust God. Believe in God. Deny yourself. Have an empty mind and invite God and let him do it. Then he will do everything.
What is our 5% portion of responsibility? Deny myself.
2. Whatever you do, the motivation must originate from God and His Will.
a. God absolutely takes responsibility for things when one’s motivation is for God.
b. Never forget that you came into existence according to God’s motivation.
c. You need to live a life of faith motivated by your subject partner (Abel).
d. Always discuss with your subject partner (Abel) first and report to him or her before you do something.
Whenever you do something, first report it to God and to my Abel and do it. If I make decisions without any permission, God cannot take responsibility for the heavenly work in the end. If I fail, I am ultimately responsible. So, when you go, to whom do you report? Everything that moves and is done without reporting to anyone is ultimately taken by Satan. Who is your Abel? Who do you report to and go back and forth(?)? Be sure to report it when you leave the house and wherever you go. You need to report to Abel. Anyone who has no one to report his ... work (to) is without Abel. That person is a very dangerous person.
Those who do not have an Abel to report to, your life is in danger. Even report going to the bathroom and think of it as going(?).
When I was young, I trained thoroughly under Yo Han Lee. I needed to report everything. “Yo Han Lee, I need to go out and buy something.” “OK, go out.” When I came back, I needed to report: “I came back.” And I really trained Taka... and Tomomi very thoroughly.
Why do we need to report? We need to have heartistic communication. Even if you are very old, 70 years old, you need to report. You need to report to your wife, to your husband. As a parent if you are going out somewhere, you need to report to your children. Reporting is very important.
If a sub-regional leader goes here and there, you need to report to me. You need to get permission from me if you leave your region and go somewhere, you need to report.
If you (do not) report and go here and there and do everything based on your own decision, own determination, you are in danger. Someday you will surely get in an accident. Surely there will be a problem. One who does not have an Abel is really in danger. That is why you always need to report.
In the beginning in formation stage you should even report when you go to the bathroom.
Educate your children (about) this reporting system: “Mother, today I am going to be very late.” “Why?” “Mother, I came back.” If children always report to their parents and have heartistic communication, they will never fall. Why did Adam and Eve fall? Because they did not report. When they ate the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, without reporting they decided by themselves.
Even affiliated organizations, do you report to the national leader, Naokimi, whatever you do? Whatever Naokimi does, he needs to report to me. Naokimi always reports all the details to me.
Reporting is very important. Anything you decided (to do) by yourself is very dangerous. When you have this habit (of not reporting), you have nothing dealing with God. If you don’t report often to Abel regularly, you may have a car accident or some serious problem someday. Later on you will realize that. You need to report. Otherwise, you become Adam and Eve.
Abraham failed when he offered three offerings. God (had) told him, “You need to cut the doves,” but he did not cut the doves. He decided by himself because it was a small thing. (He felt) he did not need to report it. In just a small thing he did not follow God’s direction. What happened? His descendants needed to pay (indemnity) for 400 years in Egypt. Can you imagine?
Small things.... Everything is a problem with small things. How important self-denial is!
3. You need to move or keep silent with a heart which says, “Heavenly Father, please give me direction!”
(Don’t) wake up in the morning and ask God, “Heavenly Father, I have this kind of plan.” Do not say that. Even though you have your own plan, you need to wake up and ask God, “What shall I do today? Where should I go today?” I have to ask God to lead me according to his will. When you have that kind of empty mind and report to God and ask him (for direction), your life of faith will always be led by God. You will always receive a lot of inspiration from God.
If you already have the habit to decide everything by yourself, it is very dangerous.
4. Always listen to your original heart.
God always commands and instructs us through our original mind. Therefore, we must think of our original mind as the heart and mind of Heavenly Father.
5. Live your life with a heart of placing everything in the hands of Heaven.
If you have any worries or problems, don't worry and leave it to God. Just go out thinking that I am responsible for God's will and God's worries. Leave my problems to God and go out thinking that I am responsible for God's problems.
If I take care of God’s problems and his will, he is responsible for my worries and my problems and what I need. Many people don’t know this basic thing. It is very important.
What is self-denial? I have told you about the way to deny yourself.
