Key Points
From now on, any individual, family, country, economy or business must know for sure that it can survive and prosper only when it moves toward a vision for the sake of the world.
Our American unification movement must support the providence of the world economically no matter what happens, and send out world missionaries centering on the second generation.
If all of our second and third generation, our future blessed children go out for the sake of the world, this is the best way that all blessed children can survive.
The reason people persecute and accuse you when you work hard fundraising and witnessing is for you to find heart and love.
All the courses of restoration were ultimately to restore the heart.
In the family, you must restore the Four Great Realms of Heart.
The Triple Subject Ideology includes True Parents, the True Teacher, and the True Master. Each of these includes the other two.
True Parents offer unconditional giving, service, and sacrifice. the True Teacher ideology teaches the “true truth” and guides others to live according to their conscience. The True Master ideology teaches the owner public mindset, responsibilities, laws, and norms as well as the management of money, upper and lower order, and loyalty to the country and the people.
Since fallen humans are easily controlled by the environment, we must always be careful.
The purpose of our speaking is to add more to our heart and spirit.
When we guide our juniors or our children, we should tell them in advance about coming tests, trials, and things to keep in mind in their life of faith.
Abel, who values your worth, always confirms what is precious to you and tries to protect you.
The Bible mentions four types of people: those like a footpath, a rocky field, a field of thorns, and fertile soil. At different times fallen people may be any of these. Sometimes their heart is not open and precious words fall on the footpath, and sometimes they can hide secrets like fertile soil and become like a mute person until they put them into practice.
We always need to guide new guests in advance about what they should be careful of. They need to know how to deal with tests and problems that will surely come to them.

I came from Alaska last night. Because of the time difference I had to prepare a recording of Morning Devotion. Please understand.
Today I’d like to talk about “Women Will Play a Leading Role in the Ideal World (1)” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
<This speech was given at a national convention for the Women's Federation for Peace in Asia held on November 20, 1991 at the Seoul Olympic Fencing Arena> Most respected guests from Korea and abroad, and members of the Women’s Federation for World Peace: It is my great honor to be able to speak on my views about world peace before so many women leaders from every field of life. The title of my speech today is Women Will Play a Leading Role in the Ideal World. In the era in which we live today, we are ushering in a truly important transition. We can go beyond ideological barriers, linguistic and cultural differences and racial conflicts, and enter a world of oneness. We all yearn for the end of wars, oppression and exploitation and for the beginning of a promising future of true freedom, peace and prosperity.
By providing a workable alternative to communism, the system of thought called Godism, advocated by my husband, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, has played a decisive role in overcoming the unceasing human suffering of the past, caused by the misuse of power, and in opening the door to the post-Cold War era. Now, in this historic transitional age, we are heading toward reconciliation and cooperation. I would like to speak once again about this system of thought disclosed by Reverend Moon, which he also referred to as head-wing thought. I propose that this great formula for the construction of an eternal world of peace based on Godism will serve as the guiding principle for women who will pioneer the future world.
God's providence of restoration has been conducted by bringing the external environmental realm to the internal and from the internal to the more internal. Now, the external environment is entering a society of one world and one big family beyond countries, races and religions.
And now, in the age of the fruit of love internally, there is a need for an age in which we can become one with God in heart, beyond the barriers of ideology, differences in language and culture, and racial conflicts.
Also, we are facing an important turning point in entering a world of Interdependence, Mutual Prosperity and Universally Shared Values based on Godism.
From now on, the era must come when all wars, oppression and exploitation will disappear and only a future of true freedom, peace and prosperity is promised.
From now on, we need to know and focus on where God's providence is heading. Now, you should know that the world is aiming for one world, one heart culture, and one language.
Therefore, from now on, any individual, family, country, economy or business must know for sure that it can survive and prosper only when it moves toward a vision for the sake of the world.
This is very important. What heavenly direction is the heavenly providence going in now? Our individual, family and country economy and business need to focus on that.
In that sense, we, the United States, must really become the United States for the world and know that only when we present a vision and put it into practice for the world can we prosper.
From now on, any individual, family, country, religion, or church will disappear as long as it is not for the world but for itself.
Therefore, our American unification movement must support the providence of the world economically no matter what happens, and send out world missionaries centering on the second and third generations, even our blessed families. (We) need to support the world, live fore the sake of the world providence. We need to live for the sake of the world providence. Only through this kind of vision and goal and aim can we survive. Also, we can gain incredible heavenly benefit.
The American unification movement without world salvation always has its limits, but there is infinite hope when it comes to world salvation.
I was so inspired to hear our heavenly USA team and missionary team centering on our second generation, those who went to the world and served as missionaries. It was really an incredible and beautiful testimony. If all of our second and third generation, our future blessed children go out for the sake of the world, I think this is the best way that all blessed children can survive. We need to show them what the world vision is. We need to tell them what kind of era we are living in. If you just focus on your own individual, own family, own country, own religion, own denomination, own church, there is no way to survive. This era is really a different time. We need to realize this point.
That is why each subregion is supporting each continent. We supported some nation to support financially and with missionaries. That is the mission of the elder son nation.
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 Reason We Receive Persecution and Accusation
<103-236> When you work hard fundraising and witnessing, why do people persecute and accuse you? That experience allows you to find heart, a heart you did not have, and to find love. It happens so you can become a person who can love those who curse you. Without undergoing such a training course, however much you try to become heavenly people, you will not make it. In other words, you should find love greater than that in the satanic world. Otherwise, you cannot enter heaven. We are trying to go to heaven by finding love, as only those who have found love can go there
True Father said that the reason people persecute and accuse you when you work hard fundraising and witnessing is for you to find heart and love.
In the end, the providence of restoration has the purpose of restoring the foundation of faith and the foundation of substance to finally restore the heart (restore love). Humans have lost heart, the most important thing, because of the Fall. Fallen man has lost their heart toward God, heart toward humans, and heart toward all things. The Fall means being heartless in every way.
Therefore, all the courses of restoration were ultimately to restore the heart. In the family, you must restore the Four Great Realms of Heart. For this, we are struggling to find our heart through the process of training to establish the foundation of faith and the foundation of substance.
Then True Father said that if we do not become people of love, that is, people of heart, we cannot go to heaven. So whatever we do, we have to focus on our heart.
Every Morning Devotion I emphasize so much the importance of the restoration of the heart. That is our final goal: Foundation of Faith , Foundation of Substance and finally the foundation of heart, which is the completion stage.
Doing anything without heart, formally, conditionally, and habitually should be considered as fallen nature.
That’s why, finally how we can restore our heart toward God, toward human beings, toward all things, This is the most important thing now.
Possess the Triple Subject Ideology
<209-154> In the best case scenario, we should be able to possess the Triple Subject Ideology. But even if we cannot, if we stand in the position of true parents, a teacher will stand on the right side, and the master will stand on the left side. Whether you become true parents, a teacher or a master, as long as you become one of these three, you will have no problem being registered in the Kingdom of Heaven. Are you in such a position?
<219-100>The Unification Church Principle is clear and bright. This is the teaching of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, True Parents, the True Teacher, and the True Master. Centered on the self-reliance ideology, we are trying to restore what has been lost, and I pray that you will enter the Kingdom of Heaven with a royal badge! Through this, the unification of the world will be possible today.
Father said to enter the kingdom of heaven, everyone must possess the Triple Subject Ideology. The Triple Subject Ideology is True Parents, the True Teacher, and the True Master.
The attributes of True Parents thought include the True Teacher and the True Master. And among the attributes of a True Teacher, the True Parents and the True Owner are included.
Also, True Father said that since the True Owner includes True Parents and the True Teacher, if any one of these in the Triple Subject Ideology is completed, there will be no problem in entering the kingdom of heaven.
And he said that the weapon that can unify the world should be this Triple Subject Ideology.
First, the True Parents ideology is an ideology based on the parental heart. The ideology of True Parents is the ideology of unconditional giving, unconditional service, and unconditional sacrifice for the object partner, with the heart of a parent and the body of a servant.
Wow! This is really one of the great (systems of) thought.
Second, the True Teacher ideology teaches the true truth. The True Teacher ideology does not sell knowledge like secular teachers do but teaches the true truth. It must always guide others to live according to their conscience. A true teacher constantly invests and forgets with the heart of a parent until their pupil is better than they are.
Third, the True Master ideology is an ideology that teaches the owner mindset for the family, society, and country. In order to become a true master, you must teach responsibilities, laws, and norms correctly. The True Master ideology should teach us that there is no freedom without responsibility. It is an ideology that teaches about the public and private minds, as well as the management of money, upper and lower order, and loyalty to the country and the people.
These three (ideas), the Triple Subject Thought, are really important. If you possess these three thoughts or ideology, Father said you will have no problem being registered in the Kingdom of Heaven . This is very important guidance.
Kim Il Sung’s “Subject Thought” is not really principled thought. We need to understand what is the heavenly Triple Subject Thought.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Things to Be Careful About to Keep the Grace You Have Received
1. If you tell others about the grace you received, and you are ignored or do not get any response from the other person, you will be disappointed in yourself and doubt what you said. It was the same at the time of Jesus. “I went to the town of Nazareth and heard a rumor. Some person is like this and that.” When someone testifies to another person like this, but they reply, “You don’t know very well. I've already heard it all through other people. Hearing the stories of people who have been there, that’s no big deal,” then they are dominated by that and lose strength. When an established church member comes to the Unification Church, hears the principle, is impressed, and tells the pastor or elders of faith of their own church (established church), they may reply, “You went there and you heard this and that, right? You must be moved by their words. You'll find out eventually. You will realize that it is false.” When they say this, that person will doubt what they were moved by. They think they misunderstood and were too eager, so what they were moved by turns into a fear.
I think when we take care of new guests, we need to always guide them properly.
When we recklessly reveal the grace we have received and the response from the other person is not good, our own spirit suffers. Therefore, in order to preserve the grace I received, I must not disclose it to anyone.
However, people who can convince anyone or take control of the environment do not know this well, but since fallen humans are easily controlled by the environment, we must always be careful.
The purpose of our speaking is, in the end, to add more to our heart and spirit. If I do not know that and criticize others carelessly or recklessly reveal the grace I received, my spirit will suffer. Many people make mistakes and lose their heart because of what they say.
If I Tell Someone who Doesn't Know how Precious Something Is, I Lose Everything
2. There are times when I am persuaded by someone who opposes what I was moved by, which makes me feel ashamed and anxious. The purpose of our speaking is to help our heart. So, you have to distinguish the other person well and talk. You can tell your Abel the secret of your heart. This is because your Abel wants to protect you and give you more. “You made a good realization. You're clear-minded, too.” In this way Abel acknowledges me and adds more joy. Abel, who knows this well, is always concerned about me and tells me before I go through a test, “Don’t talk carelessly.” Abel, who protects their juniors like this, can't help but tell them to be careful. They say, “I thought it was precious, and you found it too. So, treasure it well. Don’t let it be taken away. Don’t reveal it carelessly. You have to be mute until you put it into practice.” Abel, who cherishes my value like this, always confirms what is precious to me. If I tell someone who doesn't know how precious something is, I lose everything.
Since the purpose of our speaking is to help our heart in the end, we need to distinguish the other person well and talk and make sure that we don't get hurt by what they say.
You can tell your parents or your Abel the secret that gives your heart strength. This is because your Abel is always trying to protect you and give you more.
Therefore, when we guide our juniors or our children, we should tell them in advance about coming tests, trials, and things to keep in mind in their life of faith so that they do not fall.
Abel, who values my worth, always confirms what is precious to me. If I talk about what grace I received to someone who doesn't know how precious something is, I lose everything.
That’s why when we take care of our children or of new guests, we always need to teach them what they should say and what they should not say and let them be really careful. When they are inspired by the Divine Principle, let them keep it (to themselves) for a certain time period. Do not have give-and-take with anyone else. If someone convinces them (against the Principle) they lose everything.
You need to know that where there is God, there is Satan as well. When they study the Divine Principle , a lot of temptation will come. Satan is alive. He does exist. He will try to find a way to attack our guests. That is why we need to tell them to be careful of this and that. Surely tests will come; surely some situation will come; you need to know how to manage that. Without teaching this, if our guests face persecution, they will not know how to overcome it. As their spiritual father or mother, as Abel, teach them early on how to overcome it.
Also, when we take care of our teenagers and children, we need to tell them that when they become 13, 14, 15 or 16, this kind of temptation will surely come. Then you need to remember what I am saying.
God also really warned Adam and Eve , “When you become a teenager, this kind of temptation will surely come. That is why I am telling you, my beloved son Adam, my beloved daughter Eve, do not eat the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil . OK? You really need to be careful. This one is very precious and important.” God spoke to Adam and Eve beforehand. However, even though God spoke to them ahead (of time), they did not care about that. (That was) a problem. Adam and Eve told the archangel, “God said do not eat.” They should not have talked to the archangel . This was top secret. Why did Adam and Eve share that top secret between God and Adam and Eve with the archangel? This was really stupid. You need to know about this point.
There are Many Kinds of People
3. There are many kinds of people. Some people's hearts are like a footpath, some like a rocky field, some like a field of thorns, and some like fertile soil. This means that sometimes I am like a footpath, sometimes like a rocky field, sometimes like a field of thorns, and sometimes like fertile soil. Sometimes we are moved impulsively, and we can't hide it. On the other hand, there are times when we have anxiety and worries spontaneously. Sometimes, we hide a secret like fertile soil, and until we put it into practice, we have a mute-like personality. Don't we also want to hide something valuable when we see it? What do you do with money? You leave it in a place no one knows about, that only you know of. Whatever you do, you put it in a secret place, and when people talk about money, you watch pretending to have no money. Seeing that there are secrets in hiding money like that, people who have a secret can become like fertile soil. Everyone knows how to hide secrets like this, so everyone has the same heart as fertile soil. If you look at this, you can see that the depth of one's heart is created when one's individuality is preserved in a timely manner according to the environment of their sphere of life.
You Must Speak According to the Standard of the Other Person
4. When we don’t discern the person we’re dealing with and just keep talking on a whim, it's like throwing our valuables on a footpath. If you recklessly talk to others about what you consider valuable, it will be trampled on. So, if we ourselves do not know the environment and enter it, our spirit suffers. There may be people who value and care for something more than I do, but I can't say anything about myself recklessly to someone who has a lower position of heart than me. You must speak according to the standard of the other person. When parents talk with their children, they should talk centered on their children. Parents who talk about themselves are not qualified. When speaking, you need to say something that can become a plus to the other person. If you talk to them centered on yourself, they will be under pressure. If parents say to their children, “Do you know how much money we owe in this house? Why are you asking me to buy you sweets every day? I owe millions of won, tens of thousands of won right now, you rascal. Even if I sell this house, I won't be able to pay it back!” the child hearing this will not try to relate with the parent. The child will be terrified. What would be the morale of the child if they cover their innocent heart with their parents' concerns?
The Bible mentions 4 types of people. There is a person like a footpath, a person like a rocky field, a person like a field of thorns, and a person like fertile soil. However, this is not just limited to one person.
Fallen human beings can show these four types of natures as much as they like depending on the circumstances and the environment. Sometimes you are like a footpath, sometimes you are like a rocky field, sometimes you are like a field of thorns, and sometimes you are like a field of fertile soil.
Sometimes, even though you are listening to precious words, your heart is not open and it is as if the words fall on the footpath. Sometimes, you have a disposition that can hide secrets like fertile soil and become like a mute person until you put them into practice.
If you look at this, you can see that the depth of one's heart is created when one's individuality is preserved in a timely manner according to the environment of their sphere of life and other people.
Today I guided you in a very important thing. Recently we have witnessed to many young people, and already this kind of thing is happening. That is why I really am bringing out this issue. When we take care of our guests, we always need to guide them in advance about what they should be careful of. Surely tests and problems will come. (They should know) how to deal with them.
Also, even though you may already be a member and are inspired by God’s word or Morning Devotion , don’t deal with someone who is lower than you and has no appreciation of what you are talking about. When we talk to others, we need to make a plus, we need to help somebody. That is the purpose of conversation. Otherwise, we will lose. Why do we lose our faith? Because without being careful we just talk about things, that is one of the ways we can lose our first motivation and first love. We have to be very careful.
Today I talked about “Things to Be Careful About to Keep the Grace You Have Received.” It is important guidance.
I love you all!
