Key Points
TM: “The Messiah comes as the True Parents to pull out the false roots that the false parents planted, and to return false parenthood to its original true form.”
The most important purpose for the Messiah to come to this earth is to restore the lost true life, true love, and true lineage. This is the restoration of absolute sex which is the Blessing.
The three great attributes of absolute sex are true life, true love, and true lineage.
True Parents’ first internal slogan is “Utmost sincerity moves Heaven.” Second is “Let us shed sweat for earth, tears for humanity and blood for heaven with the heart of a parent and the body of a servant.”
The heart of parents lives a life of giving, investing and sacrificing ceaselessly until their object partner becomes better than they are.
TF: “The way of the physical body is the way of the prodigal son.”
When God and I become aligned centered on my filial heart and I study and receive stimulation from the Word, my conscience will receive spiritual power.
If mind and body unite, you will naturally come to know God. The invisible world becomes visible and felt, and you come to know everything. You can see your opponent, the future, the spiritual world and God.
When the Christians prepared by God say that they know the Principle and God’s circumstances, there is nothing that God would praise more than that.
“Natural subjugation” means heartistically subjugating through love.
A church new members join is a church that God praises.
The chosen people of this age are those whom God has prepared, the Christians.
How much sorrow must God and Jesus have felt when the Christians, whom God has prepared for the past 2000 years, failed to become one with True Parents.
To be praised by God we should witness to many Cain people and let them know God and bring the Christians whom God has prepared for the past two thousand years to natural subjugation. This is particularly the work of ACLC and YCLC.

Today I’d like to talk again 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> For this reason, religious believers also need to find the original True Father. This is because they were born without having received the seed of life from the original True Father. To put it another way, they did not achieve the ideal of oneness as the true sons and daughters connected to the lineage of God centering on original true love. It is for this reason that the Messiah has to come. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know who the Messiah is? The Messiah comes as the True Parents to pull out the false roots that the false parents planted, and to return false parenthood to its original true form. They fulfill thereby the important responsibility of banishing Satan and constructing the kingdom of heaven, the world of freedom and liberation welcomed by all.
<This speech was given at Women's Federation for World Peace rallies in 21 cities in Korea between May 11 and June 2, 1992> Ladies and gentlemen, when you become sons and daughters who have inherited God's love, life and lineage, as well as True Parents' love, life and lineage, the origin of true peace in which the mind and the body do not fight each other will blossom within you, just as it does in God. The world of eternal peace will begin from where your mind and body are united. Respected members of the Women's Federation for World Peace, let us all fulfill our duties as servants with the heart of parents. Let us shed sweat for earth, tears for humanity and blood for heaven, appease the sorrows of our Heavenly Parent, the marvelous master who created the universe, shouldering the cross of constructing one world of peace, and let us march forward on the path of world salvation.
Let us not forget that, though our destination seems as far as the other end of the world, our starting point is that reality where our mind and body are united based on true love. We need to bear in mind that when our families become the settlement of eternal happiness and true love, they can realize our desired ideal nation and world. Our Women's Federation for World Peace movement will help start the Family Federation for World Peace movement, in which all peoples of the world can participate. It will lead the five races to construct a world of true love where generation after generation will live and give for the sake of others while enjoying eternal life. Let us all resolve to challenge ourselves to act and take the lead in this historic enterprise. Praying that God's blessings will be with you and your families, I would like to conclude my speech. Thank you.
True Mother said, “The Messiah comes as the True Parents to pull out the false roots that the false parents planted, and to return false parenthood to its original true form. They fulfill thereby the important responsibility of banishing Satan and constructing the kingdom of heaven, the world of freedom and liberation welcomed by all.”
The most important purpose for the Messiah to come to this earth is to restore the lost true life, true love, and true lineage. This is the restoration of absolute sex. The three great attributes of absolute sex are true life, true love, and true lineage. The restoration of absolute sex is the Blessing. We have to clearly know just how important the meaning of the Blessing is.
And then True Mother mentioned the most important thing regarding constructing the kingdom of heaven. My personal conclusion after studying True Parents’ words up until now is that True Parents’ first internal slogan is “Utmost sincerity moves Heaven.” Second is “Let us shed sweat for earth, tears for humanity and blood for heaven with the heart of a parent and the body of a servant.”
The heart of a parent gives unconditionally, invests unconditionally, sacrifices unconditionally and forgets all for the sake of children. The heart of a parent lives a life of giving, investing, and sacrificing ceaselessly until their object partner becomes better than they are. Only with heart can we construct the kingdom of heaven centered on true love.
Wow! Father’s slogans are very beautiful. I always remember Father’s internal slogan: “Utmost sincerity moves heaven.” (It is) not by power or external things. As long as we really can move God’s heart, we can do anything. We can solve any problem. That is why our internal goal is how to move the spiritual world, Father’s heart and our ancestors. They are the ones who do everything. You cannot do it alone by yourself. You need to get some help from the spiritual world.
When Heavenly Father created human beings and the universe, he need to cooperation of three angels first. That is why Father said, “You need to get help(?)” Even Heavenly Father needs cooperation and help from angels. It is the same for us. While we are on the earth we need to get some support from the spiritual world and Heavenly Father. Then what should we do? We need to (invest) our utmost sincerity.
Secondly, I really love Father’s other important slogan about parental heart wearing the servant’s body. Parental heart is one of the main natures of true love: giving and giving unconditionally, investing and investing unconditionally, sacrificing unconditionally and forgetting and still wanting to invest, give and sacrifice more. The heart of parents is so beautiful!
All leaders (should) keep this heart of parental leadership and always wear the servant’s body. Wearing the servants body means working harder than anyone, sacrificing more than anyone. I really surrender to Father’s guidance. “Utmost sincerity moves heaven.” You need to have the heart of the parent while wearing the servant’s body. It is a beautiful slogan. If we just remember (these) two slogans, we can have life-changing experiences.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Principle of Creation 66 – The Human Heart as Viewed through the Spiritual and Physical Minds
• The relationship between the spirit mind and the physical mind is like that between internal nature and external form. When they become one through give and take action with God as their center, they form a united functioning entity which guides the spirit self and physical self to become harmonious and progress toward the purpose of creation. This united entity is the mind of a human being.
• The conscience is that faculty of the human mind which, by virtue of its inborn nature, always directs us toward what we think is good.
• However, as the standard of goodness in fallen human beings varies, the standard of their conscience also fluctuates; this causes frequent contention even among those who advocate a conscientious life.
• The original mind is that faculty of the human mind which pursues absolute goodness. The original mind relates to the conscience as internal nature to external form.
• A person's conscience directs him to pursue goodness according to the standard he has set up in ignorance, even though it may differ from the original standard. However, the original mind repels this faulty standard and works to correct the conscience.
• As long as our spirit mind and physical mind are under the bondage of Satan, the functioning entity they form through their give and take action is called the evil mind. The evil mind continually drives people to do evil.
• Our original mind and conscience direct us to repel the evil mind. They guide us in desperate efforts to reject evil desires and cling to goodness by breaking our ties with Satan and turning to face God.
Let’s study Father’s word:
The Way of the Physical Mind is the Way of the Prodigal Son
<227-26> The way of the physical body is the way of the prodigal son. If the prodigal son possesses money, he uses it carelessly. He blindly eats, drinks and abuses drugs. But the conscience is not like that. It is righteous. The conscience is the exact opposite of the physical body. This is why the conscience fights with the physical body, saying, “Hey, you should not do that!” The reason that humankind needs religion is because it can double or triple the might of the conscience. If you can attain this power, you will have no problem in centering yourself on your conscience and taking charge of your physical mind. This is why the various religions all direct you to fast, sacrificing meals.
Father said, “The way of the physical body is the way of the prodigal son.” The prodigal son in the Bible ate, drank, spent money, and fell as he pleased, doing everything that the physical body wanted.
Therefore, if we also follow the physical body, we are sure to go on the path of death like the prodigal son. On the contrary, the conscience is the exact opposite and is always righteous. Even when death approaches right in front of my eyes, it will always educate me with the correct sounds.
The reason religion exists is to conquer the physical body by doubling or tripling the might of the conscience. Then how can you expand the power of the conscience? First, it is by becoming aligned with God at a ninety-degree angle through jeongseong and prayer.
When you invest your jeongseong and prayer, the angle of your heart becomes closer and closer (to the vertical) and finally becomes a 90 degree angle. That’s why jeongseong and prayer are very important. When you do jeongseong and prayer, your mind and body connect straight to Heavenly Parent. Then you will get power and lot’s of energy from God.
When God and I become aligned centered on my filial heart, which is hyojeong, my conscience will receive spiritual power that no one can even imagine. Next, you must always study the Word and receive spiritual stimulation through the Word. If we believe the Word, the Word becomes life and we receive tremendous spiritual power.
This is so because the Word is God and His love. Therefore, if I do not possess the Word, Satan starts attacking me immediately and I cannot win. We need to clearly realize how important the Word and jeongseong are.
The Resonance of the Conscience and the Physical Mind
<230-272> If you grow on the path of true love, your physical mind will resonate as the nucleus of your conscience. Your conscience will naturally resonate as the absolute plus, and your body the absolute minus. Then the entire universe will become clear to you. You will naturally come to know God, and you will have no need for formal education. Do you understand?
This is significant guidance.
If the physical mind becomes one centered on the conscience, the realm of resonance takes place. In other words, if mind and body unite, you will naturally come to know God, and furthermore, you will have no need for formal education, Father said.
If the mind and body only unite, you are bound to automatically realize all reason. The invisible world becomes visible and felt, and you come to know everything. The reason we have not been able to feel this so far is because we are still far from our mind and body being united.
Why can't we, as parents, feel the heart of our children? Why can't we as wives feel the feelings of our husbands? Why can't we as children feel the heart of God and of True Parents? It's because we still haven't been able to unite our body and mind. As long as your body and mind are united, you can see your opponent, your spouse, your children. You can see the future. You can see the spirit world. You can see God. The fact that I have yet to feel or see anything is the conclusion that I am still under the control of my body.
Wow! How far away we are according to the standard of the unity of mind and body. Father said (if) you can make unity between mind and body, you can see and notice everything, you can predict the future, and you will know what will happen. You can see God and the spiritual world, and you can read your spouse’s mind and heart. Why can’t we do that? We are still under the control of our physical mind. That is the issue. When we really reach the standard of unity between the mind and body, how powerful we (will be)!
Because of the fall, even though we invest so much effort to unite our mind and body, it is a really difficult job. Right? I really understand how beautiful the standard of unity between mind and body is.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Churches and Individuals Praised by God
Let’s study the Bible verses again.
Revelation 2:2-5 To the Church in Ephesus
I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
Revelation 3:8-9 To the Church in Philadelphia
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
Revelation 3:10-12 To the Church in Philadelphia
Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.
A Person Worthy of God’s Praise
5. Jesus' first desire was to save the Cain-type Jews through his disciples. That was because the Jews were God's chosen people. That is why he praised the Jews for being subdued through the Philadelphia Church. Even today, those who become one with Cain deserve praise from God. Vertically, a person becomes more like a person according to God's Word, and horizontally, a person who has a good relationship with Cain and Abel is the one who will be praised by God. Such individuals, families, and churches can be praised. This is the reality we face today. When the Christians prepared by God say that they know the Principle and God’s circumstances, there is nothing that God would praise more than that. This is expressed in the Bible as subjugation.
Jesus’s greatest desire was to save the Jews whom God had prepared for 4,000 years through his disciples. But after seeing Jews being subdued by the Philadelphia Church through the Word, God praised the Philadelphia Church.
If we apply this to the age we live in today, when God sees Cain being subjugated through us, He will praise us. This is none other than witnessing.
Vertically, a person becomes more like a person according to God's Word, and horizontally, a person who has a good relationship with Cain and Abel is the one who will be praised by God.
The lesson from these words of the Bible is exactly the same in the reality we face today. When the Christians prepared by God say that they know the Principle and God’s circumstances, there is nothing that God would praise more than that.
Wow! How can we receive that encouragement and praise from God? Number one, witness to Cain. Witnessing is the happiest thing for God. Second, witness to prepared, chosen people (Christians?) so they come back to God’s bosom through knowing the Divine Principle and God’s word.
What is Natural Subjugation?
6. Natural subjugation is harmony of love, impression, and inspiration. Natural subjugation is not forced subjugation, but an inspiration of love that we realize because we are so moved. This is true surrender. When I receive the inspiration of love, I myself surrender. To become an individual and a church praised by God, we need to have at least a few members a month who are moved by the Word through witnessing. God is most pleased with Cain's subjugation. A dead church does not create new life. Like this, a church where new members join is a church that is praised. This is the only wish God has.
In a word, “natural subjugation” means heartistically subjugating through impression of love. Being moved by the other person means that they heartistically subjugated me. Simply put, it means that the other person won me over.
That is why I often talk about Kamdong, touching, moving. What is natural subjugation? You need to touch someone’s heart, move their heart. That is the way to (bring) your Cain to surrender.
When I receive the inspiration of love, I myself surrender. To become an individual and a church praised by God, many people must be witnessed to through our Blessed families.
God does not come to churches that do not show substantial results of witnessing. It simply becomes a church where spectators gather. When it becomes a church where new lives enter and are resurrected every week, every month, and the church grows, then it becomes a church that God praises.
God really wants to see his children come back. That is the way to create the most happiness for God. If you really witness very well, God (will) praise you all the time. How can we make God happy? You need to witness to your Cain. You need to find God’s prepared persons. We already know how to make God happy. That is salvation, witnessing.
God is most pleased with Cain's subjugation. A dead church does not create new life. A dead person does not create new life. Like this, a church where new members join is a church that is praised. This is the only wish God has.
The Firstborn and the Prodigal Son, Judaism and Christianity
7. God chose us first and conducted the providence up to this day to find the Cain-type chosen people. The chosen people of this age are those whom God has prepared. In the Bible, the father of the prodigal son lived with the eldest son, but his wish was to find the prodigal son who had left the house. The father of the prodigal son in the Bible was a rich man whom his eldest son lived with and owned many fat calves. It is a parental heart that wants to find the prodigal son who left home.
Let's look at Judaism and Christianity. When Jesus came, the prepared Jews disbelieved him, so aren't they in the position of the prodigal son? How unspeakable is the sadness of a father who comes and is not recognized as a father by his own children? How can God not praise a church that knows His sad heart because of His lost sons and searches for them?
God chose us first and conducted the providence up to this day to find the Cain-type chosen people. The chosen people of this age are those whom God has prepared. Then who would they be? They are the Christians.
The father of the prodigal son lived with the eldest son, but his wish was to find the prodigal son who had left the house. It is a parental heart that wants to find the prodigal son who left home.
What is God’s wish today? It is to restore Christianity which God has prepared for 2000 years. How much sorrow must God and Jesus have felt when the Christians that God has prepared for the past 2000 years failed to become one with True Parents who came to this earth as the Messiah?
Churches and Individuals Praised by God
8. In this sense, the Philadelphia Church was well praised. The Lord praised the church where the prodigal son returned. Today, we must become a church where the prodigal son returns as well. After all, this was God's praise for the Philadelphia Church. A praised church is, first, a church that practices the word of God, and second, a church where those who call themselves chosen people come and are subjugated. Here, we get to know God’s heart that He shows us through the praise of the Philadelphia Church. The way to liberate God’s Han (bitter heart) is to find the lost individual, the lost child, and the lost Cain. Therefore, we must become the children and the church that resolves God’s resentment.
If we look at the Bible verse we read today, the Lord praised the church where the prodigal son returned. Ultimately, the reasons God praised the Philadelphia Church were: first, that it was a church that practiced the Word of God. Second, it was a church where those who call themselves the chosen people came and were subjugated.
Then, what should we today do to be praised by God just like the Church in Philadelphia? First, it is to witness to many Cain people and let them know God. Second, it is to bring the Christians whom God has prepared for the past two thousand years to natural subjugation. That mission and responsibility belongs to ACLC and YCLC. When we become this kind of blessed family and Unification church, we can become the children and the church that are praised by God all the time and can relieve his resentment.
How can we relieve God’s resentment? We need to witness to Christian people. Let them know True Parents. Let them know God. That is why the role of YCLC and ACLC, I emphasize again and again, is very important.
When there is unity between Cain and Abel, God is (present). What is the position of Abel? That is Family Federation, the Unification Movement. What is the position of Cain? That is Christianity. Where there is unity between Christianity and Unificationism, then we (can) restore other people. Everyone. Where there is unity between Cain and Abel, God is present all the time.
How can we revive the nation of America? We need to restore Christianity. God raised them. We need to serve and welcome and embrace them. This is the only way we can revive the nation of America.
Today I talked about “Churches and Individuals Praised by God.”
Our Unification Church needs to be praised by God all the time. I have spoken very clearly about this.
