(Response to sharing) When we read EDP, we always need to pray first. You need to invite God, True Parents, and your ancestors (to join you). At the same time, you need to think that in order to discover this Principle, how much indemnity True Parents had to pay. When Hyo Won Eu wrote each sentence, he shed (so many) tears. You need to think about the background of the Divine Principle, and you need to (regard) each sentence as eternal truth. No one knew it (before). Each sentence was discovered by True Parents. Of course we know that, but from an outside point of view, this is eternal truth. No one knows this secret. You need to think that each sentence is eternal truth. It is God’s declaration of the truth. When you think this way, it will (bring) a lot of power to your spiritual life.♦

I have a longing heart to see each one of you. If there were an opportunity to meet each of you personally, how happy I would be! Anyway, at least I am lucky to see each one of you through Morning Devotion.

Today I’d like to talk about the “Tasks to Fulfill for the Secure Settlement of Cheon Il Guk” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.

Living in the Cheon Il Guk era, we have concluded a historical providential period and have made a new start. Yet, can you confidently say that you are adequately determined or resolved to repay Heaven? Neither time nor the entire providence will wait for us, and we cannot retreat. The only thing we can do is advance. Everything now depends on how greatly we expand the environment from the position we now are in. You must bear in mind that an opportunity like this, where this nation can stand as God's homeland and the central country in the world does not come all the time. Accomplishing Vision 2020 is our first step. I understand that all of you who have come here are doing your best on the front line. It is true that my heart becomes increasingly serious with each passing day as we still have many responsibilities to achieve. Can you guarantee that you will remain in good health for over 100 years? 

Your lives at this very moment are poised to become the life elements and the treasure of the spiritual world, throughout the eternal future, and to give you special qualifications and authority in front of heaven and earth for having lived in the same age as True Parents. You are in a position where each one of you can become beautiful gems. It is much easier to talk about taking a central responsibility than to actually succeed in that responsibility. Let us say you are in charge of a small church or a regional church headquarters. Can you stick to your responsibilities? If we think about True Parents and God's Will, we will absolutely want to do our best. You must lead a life in which you invest your maximum effort with a live-or-die determination every single day. You must promise that by 2020 you will make Korea into God's homeland, which stands firm in the world centered on True Parents. (2013.07.20, Cheon Jeong Gung) 

True Mother said: "Neither time nor the entire providence will wait for us, and we cannot retreat. The only thing we can do is advance. You must bear in mind that an opportunity like this in which this nation can stand as God's homeland and the central country in the world does not come all the time." 

A very small and fixed amount of time remains for our opportunity to participate with True Mother in God’s providence in the physical world. That is why just as the Bible says, now is the time when “one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.” When you look at God’s eternal history, this time period is the Golden Age that will never come again. 

Now Mother has already reached 80 years old. Can you imagine? She is the last one as the messiah and as the first coming of God’s only begotten daughter – living(?) together with God. Amazing, right?

Living with True Mother at this moment today becomes a nutrient for life in the spirit world, a treasure, and a foundation to be proud of before heaven and earth for thousands of years. 

Dear brothers and sisters, let us all unite with True Mother to truly rebuild America and help Heavenly Unified Korea so that Korea becomes Cheon Il Guk. 

Recently Mr. Yun met Prime Minister Hun Sen. I heard that it was a very great meeting. I think later we will hear good news. There is much progress (in) God’s providence now. A great time has now come centering on the Korean peninsula. Let’s always pray for True Mother’s health and God’s providence and how we can quickly achieve the heavenly unified Korea. Then the Korean nation will become God’s substantial Cheon Il Guk. 

LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Principle of Creation 53 - The Realm of God’s Direct Dominion

• What is the realm of God's direct dominion? 

• Human beings abide in the realm of direct dominion when, as subject partners and object partners, they unite in the love of God to form a four position foundation and become one in heart with God. In this realm they freely and fully share love and beauty according to the will of the subject partner, thus realizing the purpose of goodness. 

• The realm of direct dominion is the realm of perfection.

• What is the meaning of God's direct dominion over human beings?

• Once Adam and Eve had perfected themselves as individuals centered on God, they were to live together as one, forming the four position foundation in their family. Living in oneness with God's Heart, they would have led a life of goodness, sharing the fullness of love and beauty with Adam as the head of the family.

• What will the world be like when the natural world abides under the direct dominion of human beings? 

• When a fully mature person relates with the diverse things in nature as his object partners, they come together to form a four position foundation. People who are in total resonance with God's Heart will lead the natural world in the free-flowing sharing of love and beauty, and the entire universe will realize goodness. In such a manner, human beings will exercise direct dominion over all things.

The Realm of God's Direct and Indirect Dominion and the Marriage of Adam and Eve 

 God created human beings with the realm of His direct and indirect dominion. When do the realms of God's direct dominion and indirect dominion become one? When Adam and Eve, the original true ancestors of humankind, become mature and able to love horizontally, then God comes and tries to connect Adam and Eve based on vertical love. That is the marriage of Adam and Eve. That is how everything in the world will be united. (135-304, 1985.12.15) 

The Position to Inherit the Universe 

Why is the realm of God's direct dominion needed? Without relating to the realm of God's direct dominion, we cannot be connected to the love of God. Without this connection of love with God, you cannot inherit the universe. Inheritance is entirely based on love. That is why most nations and families seek to give their inheritance to the children whom they love. That is the Principle. (135-324, 1985.12.15) 

Just as True Father said, the place where the realms of God's direct dominion and indirect dominion meet and become one is the moment Adam and Eve fulfill their portion of responsibility, receive the Blessing, and become one with each other in spirit and flesh on their first night. 

And the first night when Adam and Eve become one through love is the day they inherit the universe from God and become the owners of true love. 

So no matter how much you have achieved individual perfection, gaining dominion of the universe cannot be achieved with individual standards. Only by becoming true couples who have inherited God’s true love can you become the owners who have dominion over the universe. 

No one knew until now that the dominion of all things cannot be achieved as a perfect individual and that only a true couple who possesses true love are qualified. 

In the beginning I did not know that. (I thought) anyone who reached(?) the top of the growth stage could become the owner of all things. But now I understand from Father’s word that this is the wrong understanding. 

Why do you need to be a complete couple? This is because all things are made up of pair systems. Therefore, the true couple, who are the masters of the pair system, must take the lead. 

In order to become the owner of all things, you need to enter God’s direct dominion as a couple. Who can become the owner of all things? Not an individual. It is centering on the pair system, on the couple. The couple can become the owner of all things. How much do you understand this point? When we think (that we can become) the owner of all things (through)  individual perfection, this is a wrong understanding. In order to become the owner of all things, you need to understand it is centered on a true couple. Why? Because only a couple can enter God’s direct dominion. Anyone who enters God’s direct dominion can become the owner of all things. Wow! This is incredible guidance!

Therefore, the first night when a man and woman who have received the Blessing from True Parents become one body, (this) is the day God rejoices the most and the universe rejoices the most. The first night is the day you ascend (to become) owners of the universe. 

This is beautiful! That is why when your children start family you definitely need to have a family festival. Everybody can encourage (the new couple): “Wow! Today this first night is a very precious day. You can become the owner of all things, and you can inherit God’s true love completely from Heavenly Parent and True Parents.”

That is why men’s and women’s sexual organs are a kind of bridge between the indirect dominion and direct dominion. I really love Father’s explanation. Man’s sexual organ is a stick that becomes a bridge. Then we can enter God’s direct dominion through our sexual organs. We did not know where the main point is where we enter from God’s indirect dominion into God’s direct dominion. It is through the man and woman’s love organs. That is the meeting point. How amazing it is. True Father teaches (this) in such detail. How amazing it is! 

TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: A Minister Should Become the Subject of Love who is Trusted by the Members

1. When people whose spirits are in the servant-level receive spiritual works, the spirit world becomes the subject. If they make a mistake, they will be completely dominated by the spirit world. If that happens, the church becomes divided. If spiritual works take place in an environment where the church leader is longed for and respected, that spirit can be dominated well by the church leader. However, when people who do not normally have a heart of respect cause spiritual works, they rebel against the church leader and interfere, “Are you the church leader?” while grabbing their neck. Even if they do not do this, they still do not respect the church leader, so after receiving the work of the spirit world, they try to take control. In some cases, the church leader, who is not centered on True Parents, causes spiritual work and takes all the members and goes out and divides them.

People whose spirits are (at) the servant-level are easily dominated by the spirit world. Therefore, in order not to be dominated by the spirit world, you must form a good relationship with your Abel. 

Those who do not have a good relationship with Abel always complain and are dominated by evil spirits. Then the church situation becomes very terrible. That is why those who do not have a good relationship with Abel, when spiritual phenomena happen, (can cause) big problems. 

That is why you need to always discuss and consult with your Abel. When someone who has unclear interpersonal relationships and (whose) relationship with Abel is not good has spiritual experiences, it is very dangerous. 

In our movement when there are spiritual phenomena, (what happens) in the end? It always goes wrong. Always! This is my experience. When there are spiritual phenomena, you always need to pay indemnity... 

We did not know about Heun Mo Nim. In the beginning she did an excellent job on behalf of Dae Mo Nim.... What was the end? Her life. Wow! Anyone who borrows power from the spiritual world needs to pay indemnity. 

That is why I don’t like spiritual phenomena. You need to borrow power from the spiritual world and you need to pay back the indemnity.

2,000 years ago Jesus brought a lot of miracles. What was the end of Jesus life? Can you imagine that? Anyone using spiritual power, spiritual phenomena, what is the end? Not such great results. 

That’s why we need to be responsible (on our own). We need to take ownership by ourself.

Believers (who are) in the formation stage must set conditions well. When you set good conditions, good spirits will help, but when you set evil conditions, evil spirits will work and take control. That is why you must regard your relationship with Abel as life. 

People whose life of faith is self-centered will always complain if others’ positions are different from theirs, and (as a result) they (make) conditions for the evil spirit world to (have) access (to them). 

 2. Even our church occasionally has people who fell apart and left while performing spiritual work. However, even if there is spiritual work, if you absolutely obey True Parents' words, that work will not lose its direction. A true minister must obtain an official stamp of approval from the spirit world and appear before members in their dreams, sometimes pointing out mistakes and giving advice. The spirit world works by establishing the earth as its subject partner. That is why our church must fulfill its responsibility to ensure that the church leader is a trustworthy subject of love to the members. If the life of a minister cannot become exemplary in the physical world, the spirit world also cannot reciprocate. Next, the work of the spirit world often takes place when I form a reciprocal relationship with members and witness. When I am persecuted while witnessing, or when I touch the heart of the person who is being witnessed to through the Word, the spirit world appears and works. 

A true minister must be respected by the members. When a minister is recognized as a righteous person by the spirit world, he will appear before members in their dreams, sometimes pointing out mistakes and giving advice. 

That is why a minister’s life is not simple. You always need to have a life of prayer and jeongseong. You need to be a champion of jeongseong. 

Secondly, as a minister one very important thing: you have to be careful of Chapter Two. If you have not graduated from Chapter Two, spiritual world cannot recognize you. If you really control Chapter Two, then you have spiritual dignity. If you overcome Chapter Two problems, your stage is already beyond the top of the growth stage. 

As a minister one of the most important things is what? Prayer and jeongseong. Secondly, you have to overcome Chapter Two, sexual temptation. As a leader if you do not know how to control your sexual desire and do not overcome sexual desire, you will never grow up. The spiritual world cannot recognize you. Maybe for the time being you increase membership, but you will go back again. Finally in the end (this) will destroy the entire church environment. That is why as a spiritual leader you need to have dignity. What kind of dignity? Control of sexual desires. If you are still possessed by sexual desires, you do not have dignity. As a leader how can you show dignity? How can our members see their minister’s dream(?).

Are you already a champion of jeongseong and prayer? Secondly, are you a holy guy who controls his sexual desire? Then you are a really holy guy. 

Therefore, the minister must offer prayers for the members – more than anyone else. True Father said that (depending on) the standard of a minster’s jeongseong, he may be able to appear before the members and give spiritual guidance.

If the life of a minister cannot become exemplary in the physical world, the spirit world also cannot reciprocate. No matter what they do, the spirit world wants to work through people who set an example on earth. 

Next, the work of the spirit world often takes place when I form a reciprocal relationship with members and witness. When I am persecuted while witnessing, or when I touch the heart of the person who is being witnessed to through the Word, the spirit world appears and works. Therefore, you must offer intense, concentrated prayer for witnessing guests. 

 3. When you do witnessing, you mainly see two works. Some witnessing guests who are touched by the words of the Principle will come to miss their spiritual parent. However, to those who hear the Word and do not accept it properly and oppose it, the spirit world mobilizes that person’s ancestors to discipline or give advice to those who are being witnessed to. Seeing this, there is no doubt they are trying to work in the spirit world. So, our responsibility is to touch people’s hearts. If you do, witnessing will be done by the spirit world. If some members go on a different path after being touched by the church leader, the church leader must appear and discipline them. The reason why such works appear is because the purpose of the good spirit world’s cooperation is to reconcile families. The work of the good spirit world does not try to divide. They try to help in any way they can. 

The good work of the spiritual world makes those who are touched by the words of the Principle come to miss their spiritual parent. 

When you witness to your spiritual children, and the spiritual world helps that guy, if he misses his spiritual father or mother all the time, that is the spiritual world‘s responsibility. Let them have that kind of longing heart to meet their spiritual parent. 

On the contrary, in some cases, if descendants of good ancestors who had good merits have preconceptions and oppose our movement, their ancestors will appear (to them) and intervene. Then, they will discipline or give advice to them. “Don’t do that.” The descendants may be good but have preconceptions. Without knowing, they may oppose (us). That is why their ancestors appear and intervene.

Seeing this, there is no doubt that the spirit world is trying to help out with work in the physical world. So, our responsibility is to touch people’s hearts. If you do, witnessing will be done by the spirit world. 

If some members are touched by the church leader, but then try to go on a different path after being struck by something, the church leader must appear and discipline them. A good minister must have spiritual authority. You must make members experience that when they listen to the church leader, the spirit world and ancestors will work, but when they do not listen, there are disciplinary actions. 

 4. Church leaders must resurrect their members through a heartistic relationship with them. If strength comes from harmonizing the relationship between you and me in one’s life, it becomes hopeful and faith is healthy. Therefore, our church leaders must always be the Abel of longing for members. That is the most important responsibility as the church leader. If the church leader cannot become the subject of longing, you should at least become an object of longing that can long for anybody. Either the members long for me, or I long for the members. If I cannot make progress and others cannot go forward, then Satan has no choice but to work. 

Church leaders must resurrect their members through a heartistic relationship with them. If a relationship of longing is formed between the minster and the members, that church will always develop. In such a church, since they harmonize with each other, it becomes a church that gains strength and becomes very hopeful. 

Because the church leader has a position on behalf of God and True Parents, even though he is a human being and a fallen man, as long as True Parents assign him to become a church leader, then as a member you need to do your portion of responsibility. You need to build a good relationship (with him). If there is unity between the church leaders and members and that church is full of (a) longing heart, it will surely develop and increase membership.

Therefore, our church leaders must always be the Abel of longing for members. That is the most important responsibility as the church leader. If the church leader cannot become the subject of longing, at least (he should) become an object of longing that can (be) longed for (by) anybody.

Because spiritual world is the world of longing heart, if you come to church with out longing for somebody, if you don’t long for anyone, then you are spiritually dead. Where there is true love, there is always a longing heart. If you don’t miss anyone, you are spiritually very dry. It is very easy (for such people) to complain. Keep your(?) longing heart.

In order to see how much the members love the minister, who is the center, you can tell by looking at (how) much the members long for the minister. If you really love the object partner, longing will surely follow. There is no such thing as love without longing. Only longing can multiply more longing.

I want to build that kind of model longing church. Then I have to be a subject of longing. Also, members need to have that kind of subject of longing. Then our church will really become a longing church. This will really God’s substantial Kingdom of Heaven!

LIVING TESTIMONY: I’m a Living Testimony for Whom Anything is Possible

(Testimony of GPA 2nd-year graduates Mihwa and Yejin.)

Not only during (your) witnessing time, every hour, every minutes you need to think, “I am the representative of God and True Parents.” When you have that kind of concept, that is the beginning point of denying yourself. When you deny yourself, “I am the representative of God,” then God will give you incredible spiritual power all the time – not just on the front line but (at) every moment. It should be like that.♦
