Key Points
The era of women's liberation from the male-centered archangelic culture has come.
Women have a responsibility to make their families a home for true parents, true couples, and true children.
Satan is like the prosecutor who accuses; God is the judge; and Jesus (True Parents) is(/are) the attorney(s) for the accused.
If there is a condition for accusation from Satan, pay indemnity willingly and joyfully. If you try to avoid indemnity, greater indemnity comes.
To eradicate Satan's accusations, we must even love our enemies.
A resurrected person must treasure within them the secret and formula of their heart that gives strength to their life of faith.
Reveal the secrets of your heart only to someone who values and empowers the secrets of your faith such as your parents or your Abel of heart who will confirm that what you have learned is precious.
Practice what you want to share, and then know the person you are speaking with well and his circumstances so you can move him. This will benefit your heart.
If you talk for a person’s sake, you should not say what you realized and what grace you received first, but purely care for the other person.
You need to know how to protect yourself. If you realize the importance of the secret that gives your heart strength, and you realize what you should say and should not say, if you really take care of yourself, you can keep your first motivation and love and resolution.

Today I’d like to talk about “The Unity of the World and Humankind's Responsibility” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
Our women's movement is not for women alone. First, a movement of true love for our husbands and children must bear fruit in ideal families. The ideal families formed in this manner will come together to form ideal nations and an ideal world. For this reason, the Women's Federation for World Peace must someday develop into a federation of families for world peace. For the sake of world peace, we women have to take the lead in government, finance, culture and society. The basic values we must uphold in this federation of women are found in head-wing thought and Godism. These values are what unite left and right and overcome atheistic materialism. They are certain to be the guiding ideas of the world in the twenty-first century.
As women, let us remember our forebears Rebekah, Tamar and Mary, who fulfilled major responsibilities in the history of God's salvation providence. Let us inherit the strength of will by which these historic women overcame life-threatening dangers and difficulties. Let us establish our families as homes for true parents, true husbands and wives and true children, so that we may join in the holy cause of changing this fallen world into a heavenly world. Let us march forward toward a world of peace centered on the True Parents, who are the center of true love. I pray God's blessing may be upon you, your families and the beautiful world to come. Thank you.
For the first time since the fall of Adam and Eve in the 6,000-year history of God’s providence, with the founding convention of the Women's Federation for World Peace, the era of women's liberation from the male-centered archangelic culture has come.
Therefore, in the present era, women must take the lead in politics, economy, culture and society for the realization of world peace.
And women are responsible for moving toward eternal history after the 21st century through head wing thought and Godism, unifying the left and right wings, and overcoming atheistic materialism.
Also, in the future, women should remember the forefathers of suffering and persecution such as Rebekah, Tamar, and Mary who took the lead role in the providence of salvation as women in the providence of restoration of the past 6,000 years.
And by passing on their strong will, they have a responsibility to make their families a home for true parents, true couples, and true children.
Father Moon emphasizes again and again that establishing the Women’s Federation for World Peace was a great and historical turning point. Women can finally enter the era of liberation. Women and men have the same qualifications. This is really incredible centering on our True Mother. Her world speaking tours started from establishing the Women’s Federation for World Peace . It is a cosmic and worldwide level. The liberation of women has come. It is really a historical turning point centering on establishing Women’s Federation for World Peace .
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.
Let’s study Father’s word:
The Prosecutor, Attorney and Judge of the Spirit World
<48-316> To enter heaven, we must obtain Satan’s certificate. What is Satan’s certificate? In order for a criminal to be released, he must first go through a prosecutor, then an attorney and finally a judge. From this perspective, Satan is like the prosecutor, God the judge and Jesus is the attorney. If Satan ensnares a person saying, “You did this and this, did you not?” and says to God, “This person should be dealt with in this way,” God’s hands are tied. But Jesus, in the position of an attorney, would say, “Heavenly Father, this person’s ancestors did such and such things and he is from a good lineage. Since he is accused on these counts, he should be given an indemnity condition related for his crimes so he can be freed from accusation.” This is what has been happening.
You Must Love your Enemy and Become One with Your Cain
<48-316> If we want to go to heaven, we must get Satan’s certificate. Without getting a certificate that we loved Satan, we can never go to heaven. That is what the Unification Church is doing. Normally, we treat those who oppose us as enemies. Instead, we should love them, even though it is stifling. We must love our enemies and pray for them to have good fortune. We have no choice. Unless Cain and Abel become one, there will be no restoration and we cannot return to our Parent.
To enter the kingdom of heaven, we must obtain Satan’s certificate. Satan is like the prosecutor, God the judge and Jesus is the attorney.
Satan always finds conditions for accusing man of sin. Jesus (True Parents) finds the conditions concerning man’s contribution to heaven that allow them to defend man as much as possible. God is in the position of the judge who makes the final judgment based on the opinions of the prosecutor and the attorney.
The most important thing for fallen human beings is not to fall under the condition of accusation from Satan. If there is a condition for accusation from Satan in your life of faith, do not hate it or avoid it, but go forward with the attitude of paying indemnity willingly. If you try to avoid indemnity, greater indemnity comes.
That is why (we should) pay indemnity willingly, happily, joyfully. Don’t worry about what sin you committed(?). You need to pay something, so why don’t you happily pay indemnity. “OK, I’m a sinner. I recognize that I am a sinner. That is why I need to pay any indemnity, (go through) any difficulty.” You need to have that kind of positive attitude and mindset. This is very important. Someday we will need to pay. We cannot avoid our own course, our own indemnity,
So, don't think of Satan's accusations as accusations, but think of his accusations of yourself as his encouragement to complete you. In order to completely eradicate Satan's accusations, we must love even our enemies.
That is why in order to pay the indemnity if Satan accuses me, (you can respond) “OK, accuse me more and more. What else? What else? I am really ready to pay indemnity. Yes, I am a sinner. Because of God, of True Parents and of the Divine Principle I will willingly pay. On behalf of my ancestors, of my family I will willingly pay indemnity.” Then you can quickly pay the indemnity.
But many (people) are afraid of the indemnity course and try to avoid it and run away from it. Then it will take a long time. But in the end you cannot avoid it; you need to pay. That is why you really need to have a positive concept. Heavenly Father wants to save everybody without exception. We need to know that this kind of mindset is really important.
The key, the best way to pay indemnity and overcome Satan is to love your enemy. In order to love our enemy, what kind of method is best? Not power, not knowledge, not anything else, only true love. You can overcome your enemy and pay indemnity through the way of true love. That is why the Bible talks about faith and hope and love. Which is the greatest? Love is the greatest. Let’s study what the Bible is talking about.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13: If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.
If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing..
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
I really love this Bible verse very much. The (topic) of Father’s talks is (often) what? Always he talks about true love.
The Bible says here, “If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” Wow! Great faith! If you speak all the languages of earth and of angels, you have great faith, but that is not everything. Even though you (may be able to) speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but if in your heart there is no true love, that is nothing. (You are) just a “noisy gong, just a clanging cymbal.”
“If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains” from here to there but actually internally you don’t have heart, no love, you are just nothing.
That is why you can overcome all things by true love, by heart. How can we overcome our enemies? Just now we read Father’s words about how to overcome Satan, how to get a certificate from him, how to win over our enemy. There is no other way. Not just faith or hope. The greatest weapon is what? True love. How (was) Jesus (able to) overcome his enemy? Loving his enemy was the condition for Jesus to resurrect after three days. This is an important point.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Do Not Reveal The Secrets That Give Your Heart Strength
1. A resurrected person must treasure within them the secret of their heart that gives strength to their life of faith. Don't disclose it to anyone and let the secret of your heart arise and give strength to your life of faith. Having that secret gives you unimaginable spiritual power and evokes your heart. The more we repeat the testimonies we have experienced with God and the spirit world in our life of faith, the more it strengthens us, doesn't it? If I repeat the incidents that I suffered, such as when I was falsely accused, or when I shed tears while going the way of the Will, I am moved again, right? That is because it is a secret that only I have tasted. Without going to the level where I suffered like that, I can’t experience the same taste and emotions as others. People with ShimJeong are people with many secrets. People who love each other have many secrets that only they know.
If you had a jewel more precious than gold and silver that no one else had, would you openly brag and show it to a lot of people? No one would do that.
Because there is a chance it could be stolen by someone, you will keep it in a secret place only you know about.
Likewise, a resurrected person must treasure within them the secret and formula of their heart that gives strength to their life of faith. You should know that if you reveal the secrets of your heart easily, thieves can take them.
For example, just as the secrets of a company's important business items are not disclosed to anyone, you must preserve the secrets of your heart that give you strength.
This is because having that secret of faith gives you unimaginable spiritual strength and “evokes” your heart.
Someone I Can Share the Secrets of My ShimJeong With
2. However, if you want to tell a precious secret, it is okay to tell someone who will understand its value and give it more strength. They are your parents. And they are Abel figures who have a parental heart and consider you precious. You can tell your parents your precious secrets. When your parents respond, “That's so important,” it once again confirms that what you have learned is valuable, and it will remain as something unforgettable. But if you tell someone who doesn't value it more than you do, you lose strength. Why do you speak? It is to make benefits for your heart. Why do you boast? You boast so your heart will gain strength.
But if you could reveal the secret of your heart, to whom can you reveal it to? It should be someone who values and empowers the secrets of your faith when you tell them.
Such a person is your parents or Abel figures who have a parental heart and consider you precious. Your parents or your Abel of heart know more about what you have learned and try to add more to it. In this way, when you receive confirmation from your parents or an Abel of heart that the content you have learned is precious, it will remain as something you will never forget.
But if you tell someone who doesn't value it more than you do, you lose strength. Why do you speak? It is to make benefits for your heart. Why do you boast? You boast so your heart will gain strength.
Reasons and Causes of Consuming One’s ShimJeong
3. Many people speak wrongly and consume all their ShimJeong. You lose everything that is your driving force and strength. When we speak, we need to know who we are talking to and speak well. I have to say something that the other person can resonate with. Therefore, if I am well aware of the other person’s circumstances, and I say something for their sake, I will also benefit. If you talk for their sake, you should not say what you realized and what grace you received first, but purely care for the other person. One person who was moved to see Jesus went to another and told him to just go and see Jesus. He didn't tell how he received grace through Jesus, he just said to go and see him. Why? This is because, if you tell them what grace you have received, the secret that is the driving force for your strength will disappear and your ShimJeong will become weak. Therefore, he didn't say anything about Jesus.
When we speak, we need to know who we are talking to and speak well. Otherwise, if you go ahead and say it without putting it into practice, you lose everything that motivates you and gives you strength.
So, you need to know the other person well. If you talk to them, you have to say something that they can appreciate and be moved by. Therefore, if I am well aware of the other person’s circumstances, and I say something for their sake, I will also benefit.
If you talk for their sake, you should not say what you realized and what grace you received first, but purely care for the other person.
You need to listen to that person. You need to check that person’s standard and situation.
Today I talked about “Do Not Reveal The Secrets That Give Your Heart Strength.”
For the last three days I have been continually talking about what to talk about. I also said to not reveal the secret that gives your heart strength. For many this might be the first time you have heard this. But this is very important. You need to know how to protect yourself. If you really realize the importance of the secret that gives your heart strength, and (you realize what) you should say and should not say, if you really take care of yourself very well, you can keep your first ... motivation and love and resolution very well. Of course, in the beginning we can make many mistakes, but do not make (the same) mistakes a second and third time. This is very important.
For example, one of our guests was a very young boy. He had newly joined and was very inspired to hear the Divine Principle. He even read the One-Hour EDP and maybe he listened to this Morning Devotion . Then he met a friend. His Christian friends were talking about the Unification Church. Because he was talking about how he was inspired by this and that at the Unification Church, his friends said very negative things. He was a little influenced by that.
That is why when you say something, you have to be careful. “Ok, I learned from the Divine Principle the meaning of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Do you know what the fall was? Do you know what the actual judgment by fire (means)?” You may be very inspired. When you talk to Christian ministers or other people without proper knowledge, only having listened to and been inspired by the Divine Principle and when they convince you (otherwise), you lose everything.
That’s why when you are inspired, before you take action, practice (what you have learned) for a certain time period. Always you have to be careful. You need to meditate and settle down for a certain time period. This is the way to protect your heart and mind and your faith.
