Key Points
TM: Until now, no one has been able to do anything about immorality and illicit love, which continue to bring ruin to humanity.
The last and greatest enemy to fight to achieve the ideal world is fornication, more than any ideology or philosophy.
An object partner is bound to appear to the extent that I invest and offer utmost sincere devotion.
Members can receive grace only when the preacher becomes a channel who conveys Heaven’s desired contents. His most important sermon preparation is completely emptying himself and his mind so that God can dwell within him.
The heart resurrected by the Word should be the center and standard of each individual.
A person who is usually sincere stays sincere even in times of crisis.
Because those who accumulate sincerity on a regular basis can overcome any trial, they are thankful even in tribulation which they view as an opportunity to receive grace and acquire skills.
A person who regularly engages in heartistic give-and-take action will pass through any ups and downs without realizing they are crises.
Invest your utmost sincere heart and sincerity. This is the way to pay indemnity and have a successful life.
Embrace trials with gratitude and joy.

(Response to sharing) Rev. Yo Han Lee really touched (me when) he said, “Faith has another meaning: to have heartistic relationships.” What is the purpose of faith? To have heartistic relationships and build the Kingdom of Heaven. This word really touched me.♦
Yesterday, we had a new-members welcoming service at Clifton Church. Even though there were not many new members, I was really excited to see the new members and hear their beautiful testimonies.
First, we celebrated the birthdays of those who had birthdays in September. This is a beautiful tradition at the Clifton Church.
Then, we welcomed new members who signed the new membership form, and I prayed for them.
Then, I gave sermon with title of “Ministry of Food and Ministry of Witnessing.”
Then, we had lunch together with new members and some members who had birthdays in September, and we had time to share with each other about “The most unforgettable memory with our parents.”
Now Clifton church is very focused on reaching 600 Sunday members by October 2. Our members are working very hard to reach that goal. This is the best opportunity to connect with some of the members who are not very close to our church. This time we will try have a beautiful Sunday service.
Let’s study Mother’s word again.
“Women Will Play a Leading Role in the Ideal World” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
<This speech was given at Women's Federation for World Peace rallies held between June 10 and June 30, 1992 in 40 cities, counties and districts throughout Korea> The Women's Federation for World Peace is a global women's organization inaugurated by representatives of more than 70 nations and 150,000 Korean mothers. On April 10 at the Seoul Olympic Stadium we launched this organization as the fundamental cure to address and remedy the reality of our families threatened by the degeneration of sexual morality, the spread of drug use, and all kinds of depraved and disordered sexual relationships. Our task is urgent. We need to redirect human society, now corrupted by all sorts fallen behavior, and the social climate in which men have oppressed women. Our march to learn and practice the duties of true parents, true couples and true children has taken form in the Family Federation for World Peace. We need to make certain that immorality and corruption cannot take root anywhere across the six continents of this planet. We must quickly prepare to usher in the new world without the lineage of evil that has plagued humanity ever since our ancestors committed the original sin of immorality in the garden of Eden.
Until now, no one has been able to do anything about immorality and illicit love, which continue to bring ruin to humanity. The new expression of truth that brings hope to resolve this problem completely and faultlessly has sprung up in the land of Korea in this age in which we live. This new teaching revealed by True Parents will become the light of humanity, which will unify North and South Korea and construct the world of peace. Let us all stand up together to become the women warriors who can build a world of unity overflowing with freedom, peace and happiness, by learning this new principle and rejecting this world of sinfulness that has tormented us since the onset of history. Let us walk the path of the true mother. Let us walk the path of the true wife. Let us walk the path of the true daughter. Thank you.
True Mother said, “We must quickly prepare to usher in the new world without the lineage of evil that has plagued humanity ever since our ancestors committed the original sin of immorality in the garden of Eden. Until now, no one has been able to do anything about immorality and illicit love, which continue to bring ruin to humanity.”
The last enemy to fight to achieve the ideal world is the fight against fornication, more than any ideology or philosophy. Fornication is our greatest common enemy. Let's study together what the principle says about this.
According to the introduction to the Divine Principle:
“If the problem of sexual immorality cannot be resolved, all religion becomes incompetent”
If the problem of sexual morality is not resolved, you become an incapable parent, an incapable leader, an incapable Abel, and an incapable church.
If the problem of sexual immorality is not resolved, the providence of restoration becomes incompetent and God withdraws.
To resolve the problem of sexual immorality…
1. You need to know the Principle clearly, become the substance of the word, practice the Principle. (importance of Hoon dok hae)
2. Be reborn through the Messiah and receive the blessing.
3. Must walk the model course with the Messiah to make Satan surrender.
4. We must completely entrust ourselves to God, submit to God, and experience the Holy Spirit.
According to my experience, it is difficult to control our sexual desire by human power. You need to experience the Holy Spirit and be possessed by her. It is difficult to conquer sexual desire, but once you experience the Holy Spirit, you will know the value of the human body. You need to be conquered by the Holy Spirit.
The problem of sexual immorality cannot be resolved by a couple of lectures or training.
You must completely change the fallen cells through voluntary Hoondok training.
Continuous care and training is necessary.
Yesterday I was really inspired by Dr. Ward sharing, “In order to control our physical desires, we need to have good habits. They take three to five years (to develop). He said that attending morning hoondokhae is one of the best ways to control our physical desires. I was inspired to hear that.
The struggle with sexual immorality is like WW3. Even though we know the Principle, it is difficult to be liberated from this fight.
If even the Unification Church cannot resolve this problem, then there is no hope for humankind.
If you hold a clear alternative or measure against sexual immorality, you can become the center of all people wherever you go.
What is the perfection of human beings? It begins by controlling our sexual desires.
The order of the church, society, and country lies in solving sexual immorality.
All churches, priests, and political leaders have this problem without exception.
...(Even if) you are a political leader, a church leader or a priest, (you are not immune.) Everyone is challenged how to overcome sexual immorality because we are the result of fallen ancestors.
Sexual immorality is humanity’s common enemy.
This is the final war.
Liberation from sexual immorality is complete freedom.
If you are really free from sexual immorality, you can feel the meaning of true freedom.
When we overcome sexual immorality, our spirit goes beyond the top of the growth stage.
If you did not yet overcome sexual immorality, then your level of spirituality is still under the top of the growth stage. If you are free from sexual immorality, then you have already surpassed the level of the top of the growth stage.
The final war is more serious than World War III, II and I. It is what? How to overcome sexual immorality. If we really solve this problem, we can make peace within our mind and body and within our family, society, nation and world. How important it is!
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.
Leave your Evil Mind and Live
<28-92> If you resolve to cast off selfishness and live by God’s will, as Jesus lived, an object partner will absolutely appear before you. Wait and see. You will discover whether I am lying or not. When you go to a certain neighborhood, a person will come to you who has seen you in a dream. When selfishness takes over your heart and you seek your own way, nothing will work out for you. If you completely unite with the God’s will as sons and daughters of faith, who can restore the four position foundation, God will work with you.
If you resolve to cast off selfishness and live by God’s will, as Jesus lived, an object partner will absolutely appear before you. When you go to a certain neighborhood, a person will come to you who has seen you in a dream.
If you completely unite with the God’s will as sons and daughters of faith, who can restore the four position foundation, God will work with you. Therefore, God will work with me to the extent that I unite with God’s will and heart.
The law of the universe is that a perfect plus creates a perfect minus. The reason a perfect minus does not appear before me is because I somehow did not completely invest and did not unite with God. An object partner is bound to appear to the extent that I invest and offer utmost sincere devotion.
I am really inspired by the content (that) a perfect plus can create a perfect minus. There is no need to worry about your object partner. If my jeongseong reaches heaven, then surely there will be some kind of positive spiritual phenomena. A perfect minus will appear in front of me. (To the extent that) I unite with God and his will, (to that extent) my perfect minus will appear in front of me. That is why jeongseong and unity with God are very important.
“Even though I invest so much (in you), why are you doing this?”
There is no need to complain or blame your object partner. The important thing is how much I unite with God’s will and my jeongseong reaches heaven? (To the extent that) my jeongseong reaches heaven, someone will definitely appear to me and help me. If I invest 70% for the sake of God’s will, then my object partner will appear to me (to that extent) and help me. It is up to me. It is not just your object partner’s problem. How much I (invest) my heart and unite with God’s will is the issue. That is why Father’s says here, “If you resolve to cast off selfishness and live by God’s will, as Jesus lived, an object partner will absolutely appear before you.” Why does my object partner not appear? Why is my witnessing object partner not appearing? Because I did not put (in) enough heart and Jeongseong and investment. This is very clear.
The Attitude of a Preacher
<36-114> When you preach, you must become like an antenna of purity. If you strike the bell of heaven, you must resonate with the same sound. Just as instruments are tuned to the sound of a tuning fork, you must align yourself with heaven. A preacher must be like an antenna of purity. If a preacher stands selflessly upon a stage, God can dwell within him. If you become public leaders, you will come to feel this quite often.
When you preach, you must become like an antenna of purity. This means that God will come and work with the preacher only when he completely denies himself.
If you strike the bell of heaven, the preacher must resonate with the same sound. Hence, members can receive grace only when the preacher becomes a channel who conveys Heaven’s desired contents as they are.
Therefore, God works only when the preacher denies himself. Preparation of the sermon materials and content is important, too, but the most important preparation is completely emptying oneself and the mind so that God can dwell within the preacher.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: The Difference Between a Sincere Person and an Insincere Person
How to Stay Sincere
1. Shouldn't we be sincere in whatever we do? Each of us has to be sincere as an individual. The heart resurrected by the Word should be the center and standard of each individual. Then what can we do to maintain our sincere self? You just need to have a sincere heart and a will to take responsibility in the position you are in. In this way, you will automatically supplement your skills, and you will always have thoughts that provide food and strength to your character and heart. So, you get a lot of secret tips in your life. They will be automatically attached to you. But those who have useless thoughts and blanks become incapable. They lose their motivation to fulfill their responsibility. Those who do not have the sincerity they should have as individuals will become weak in their own responsibilities.
The Difference Between a Sincere Person and an Insincere Person
2. An insincere person looks at people with a cunning look, simply looks at the external appearance of others, and looks good outwardly. When they only look externally good like that, they deceive their original mind. A person who is “incompetent” or “insincere,” is a person who does not have a heartistic and sincere attitude toward their individual self. Such a person truly cannot be helped. Such a person cannot help but lie when a crisis comes. However, a sincere person will be able to exercise their responsibility when faced with a pitiful position or crisis. If a student studies diligently on a regular basis, they have no need to worry when exam time comes. People who are sincere and capable in daily life usually show what they have without any concern, so they pass with excellent skill no matter what the circumstances.
3. When something happens to people who usually have a lot of blanks and useless thoughts and think this way and that, they can’t handle it with their own skills, watch what others do and look good outwardly. They try to make up for their own shortcomings by using someone else’s power. A person with such an attitude is bound to become a con man. When a crisis approaches, their identity will be exposed. No matter how far you try to go on the path of restoration, what do you do if you are not sincere? The way of restoration through indemnity is done with the sincerity and ability of how you usually live. A person who is usually sincere stays sincere even in times of crisis. They are honest. They are rather ambitious, not cowardly. They become bold. There is no crisis for those who accumulate sincerity in this way in their daily life. No matter what test comes to them, they will never lose. Why? It is because they feel grateful since it gives them an opportunity to acquire more skills.
The Formula for the Course of Life
4. Because those who accumulate sincerity on a regular basis can overcome any trial, they are thankful even in tribulation. To others, it looks like tribulation, but to them it is more gracious. It means that we should not face a crisis with worry, but with joy. This is the formula for walking the course of life. That is perfectly normal. Pregnant women with healthy bodies are not afraid of childbirth. A healthy pregnant woman makes childbirth easier. However, a weak wife has her family and those around her worried about her. In the same way, a person who regularly engages in heartistic give-and-take action will pass through any ups and downs without realizing it is a crisis.
Let’s summarize what kind of results insincere people bring in a life of faith.
What Kind of Results do Insincere People Bring in Life of Faith?
When a crisis approaches, they cannot help but lie, and their identity will eventually be exposed.
Easily become exhausted and incompetent in life.
Has a life full of useless thoughts and blanks and thinks this way and that.
When something happens, they can’t handle it with their own skills, so they watch what others do and look good outwardly.
They try to make up for their own shortcomings by using someone else’s power.
They are not sincere in their life, so they will inevitably pay indemnity at the end.
Indemnity is paid when one is most sincere, most genuine, and when one invests their heart into something.
Anything done reluctantly, conditionally, habitually, or out of mere formality must be indemnified.
Whatever you do without investing your sincerity and jeongseong, doing it reluctantly and conditionally, you need to pay the price (for it), (to pay) indemnity. What is the shortcut way to pay indemnity? Invest your utmost sincere heart and sincerity. This is the way to pay indemnity and have a successful life. This is crucial.
On the other hand,
What Kind of Results do Sincere People Bring in Life of Faith?
Since they work sincerely in everything centered on the resurrected heart, they automatically supplement their abilities and skills and provide food and strength to their character and heart.
When a crisis comes, the ability to exercise their responsibility will appear.
When a crisis comes, they are rather honest and ambitious. They are not cowardly but become bold. They do not think of a crisis as a crisis.
No matter what test comes to them, they will never lose.
The more tests comes, the more it becomes an opportunity to acquire more abilities and skills for themselves.
Because they can overcome any trial, they are thankful even in tribulation.
To others, it looks like tribulation, but to them, it is more gracious.
They do not face a crisis with worries but with joy.
No matter what twists and turns and crises come, they pass them without realizing they are crises.
Those who are very sincere can overcome any trials, test and problems.
