Guidance and Benediction
Points Father made to the Ambassadors for Peace at the February 19, 2002 leaders meeting at Cheong Pyeong
There is a crisis in our nation. It is time to go out and work. Don’t come here if you want to relax. We are here for God’s kingdom. Water with medicinal qualities comes from deep down. Likewise, we must start from the bottom. You cannot come here expecting to be comfortable.
I am not here to treat you well. The title “Ambassador for Peace” is not something to play with. It is a precious and valuable title, not to be taken lightly. You have to get rid of casual thinking.
Let me look at your faces. Look at me closely, so that if we meet on the street you will recognize me.
From the position of a parent and elder brother I am trying to raise you up so you don’t go in the direction of destruction. Although you may say, “Rev. Moon is wonderful,” you have opposed me.
I declared a nation. Without a country there can be no ambassadors. So do you want to be a special ambassador to serve the nation and to serve God?…You think, “I came here as an ambassador, and we are treated like this!” We have to clean up everything. How can we win the hearts of the world’s leaders?
With God and with heaven. Cheon carries the meaning of two people. Therefore, if you intend to go forth centered on yourself you will perish.
You have to listen to the true words of Rev. Moon in order to solve the problems of the world. Are my words easy to listen to? You have to raise up your standard of faith. You must come to know the Creator and the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
Filial Children! The king of a family follows the king of a nation with absolute obedience and self-denial, offering up everything. This is the way of the filial child. A nation with the traditions of filial piety and obedience can help liberate the world. Nothing can stop such saints in the spirit world.
If you have come to this church with a greedy heart you are in the wrong.
I am preparing the way for everyone to go to the kingdom of heaven when I break down all the walls. There are 193 nations. How complicated the world is! A new nation must be built. Everything has to be cleared up. How complex this is! A salmon returns to its point of origin. Yet people do not know where they come from.
God could not hold a wedding ceremony for Adam and Eve. Satan did so. Satan stole the children and turned the world back to front.
Mind and body must be united before you can deal with other things. A man must be able to control himself in the situation where a woman comes into his room naked, or he cannot be a son of God. Young people have to gain control of themselves.
You must marry into families from your enemy nation or you cannot go to heaven. A new nation can come about after those from enemy nations marry.
As a True Parent I must make it possible for people to fulfill their responsibility. You, who are children of the devil, must make God your Father.
If you know something but do not act, your sin is greater.
I told Kim Il-sung that we must all follow Unification Thought.
Because of the existence of the spirit world I could do much. It was a starting base. Kings and heads of state have to be taught this. You have the potential to do more than I have done. So go before God and do so. That is my wish as founder and True Parent.
Only True Parents could do this–bring saints and evil doers together and bless them. You must serve the Nation of Cosmic Peace and Unity. You must bring people to receive the blessing. I have invested so much in the Pure Love Movement.
Clan leaders, Ambassadors for Peace and church leaders are leaders of Headwing Thought. You must register into the Cheon Il Guk. You have to renounce sin. You cannot do things haphazardly.
The Moon family will not be given special favors. You have to be able to influence your tribe.
[To one lady who tried to attract Father’s attention:] How can I listen to your individual concerns? If I did that, I’d have to listen to each person here!
[To one man who had done well in business:] If you have a business for yourself and your sons, that is something anyone can do. You must undertake things for the sake of the world.
[To one woman:] You seem to have a lot of ambition. If you want to do something big in life, you must do it with God.
True Parents’ Benediction (Excerpts from original transcript)
Loving Heavenly Father: Today is February 19, 2002, at 4:35 pm, and clan leaders and those who have been educated as Ambassadors for Peace have been here at Cheong Pyeong Training Center for a seven-day workshop, and received Your words, which they will adopt as their central philosophy. They will serve Heaven, and fulfill their responsibility on the path of filial sons and daughters, loyal subjects, saints, and holy sons and daughters. They will build a world filled with the love that emanates from God’s kingship, and they know that they must offer to You this great historic undertaking, responsibility for which rests on their shoulders….
The Ambassadors for Peace and a unified earth have been established in front of God and all people on earth. With the heavenly realms, You can march forward for the liberation of heaven and earth, establishing the Unification Church and that unified nation that can offer up the nation and world to You. We sincerely thank You for the grace You have given, through which You can directly govern this world….
Father! By centering on Heung-jin, whom You sent to the spirit world to shoulder the responsibility of a top commander of Heaven, and centering on my sons and daughters, the four Great Saints will become one and bring about the realm of liberation, in the name of True Parents.
The establishment of the unified tribe that serves God allows us to welcome an era that will lead us into the liberated Kingdom of Heaven, which is the joy of heaven and earth.
Blessed families on earth and in the spirit world are to become one in mind and body, and, through going the way of loyalty and filial piety, enter the era that can protect the nation.
Centering on the Ambassadors for Peace and the clan leaders, the three groups [including the church leader group] that represent the victorious realm of oneness–the high-priest realm–become one and are determined to fulfill their responsibility to liberate their tribes and offer them [to God]. Please now guide them directly wherever they may go and wherever they live, that they can become the people and nation of Cheon Il Guk, which is connected to the liberated Kingdom of Heaven on earth. This is my earnest request.
May Heavenly Father’s love be with the Ambassadors for Peace and clan leaders, who are now returning home. I earnestly request that, in the name of the True Parents of the Unification Church, the name of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, You will allow them to become a living offering that can express loyalty and filial piety.
I earnestly request that You bless us so that our time together can be guided for the sake of our oneness in heart centered on You.
Please enable these people to become brave men and women fulfilling their responsibility to be loyal and filial, and to open up the spiritual and physical worlds, through being obedient to Your will.
These things I earnestly bless and proclaim in the name of True Parents. Amen.
