GRATITUDE in the Midst of Tribulation! | |
Your Thoughts are the REAL YOU! | |
|
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, the right hand of the Lord exalts, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!” I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord. The Lord has disciplined me severely, but he has not given me over to death. Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it. I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:14-24
Your thoughts are the real you; that essential part of you will not change one bit when you go to the spirit world, for it remains for eternity. You cannot liberate yourself from your thoughts once you finish life on earth. You are the prisoner of your thoughts. If you cannot fulfill the realm of love completely while on earth, you can only dwell in the realm of love which you completed. If you live selfishly on earth, you have no way to move about in spirit world because the spirit world cannot harmonize with you; you will be a foreign element. All you have to do is to practice love for others on the earth, and all the doors of spirit world will open for you. SMM, Noble Dream, December 1, 1981

Hello Richard,
Hyung Jin Nim started his sermon by discussing Project Veritas’ new video about Pfizer developing more lethal versions of Covid in order to create vaccines to address those.
Satan’s microcosm knows God’s microcosm. They know that if Christianity embraces the Completed Testament and the 2nd Coming, their demonic plans are done. Hyung Jin Nim is making a video about conservative women. He is asking sisters to purchase red, white and blue clothing for playing the role of patriotic women.
He and Kook Jin Nim walked away from billions of dollars that was inherited to his control by Father, but his mother wanted the wealth and power. If True Father is truly the returning lord, then this betrayal will inevitably lead to God’s judgment. The FFWPU mocked him, saying that HJN is a “naked preacher in the woods,” and a fear-mongering preacher.
At the end of the 1st seven year period, during 2020 True God’s Day in Las Vegas, the world flipped upside down with the Covid lockdowns, a forerunner of worldwide totalitarianism.
At the same time a “laser-beam” targeted, among the thousands of religions in the world, a tiny sect of Christianity that started in the nation of Korea. The government of Japan has stated it will shut down the Family Fed organization. It is as if True Father is chopping off the carotid artery of the beast that Hak Ja Han rides. It shows that he is truly on the throne of God.

All Hyung Jin Nim did was to choose to be obedient to Father’s directions. What was the probability of the world collapsing in the many ways that it is? Very unlikely given our modern prosperity and technology.
The FFWPU sent 150 people to cause disruption in his talks in Japan last year. He took 5 immodium pills to stop diarrhea but it did not stop. He was bedridden. If he had not been sick, he would likely have traveled one hour to be at the Abe event and been present at the assassination of Prime Minister Abe, the “Trump” of Asia.
FFWPU and Kwak group “trolls” were accusing Sanctuary of being involved, slandering us without any evidence. Since July, there has been relentless media coverage and government investigations. Now FFWPU is forced to sell off its properties.
This proves that True Father is on heaven's throne and that Satan is not.
In Esther 6, it says “fear not.” We are seeing reality of hardship and shortages in the world, so we should be prepared and taking action steps. That is not acting out of fear.
We are seeing collapses in both the worldwide macro and micro levels. “Someone” who is on the throne in Heaven declared there would be worldwide judgment of the macro and the micro.
Even in the midst of such tribulation, we still thanked True Father, who is guiding us from above.

Shinjoon Nim's Tearful Testimony | |
|
Thank you for allowing me to [give] my testimony today, on God’s Day. It truly is an honor to be able to speak today.
When I saw the mission that True Father wanted me to follow, I felt so unworthy. Although God does 95%, as my 5%... (tears) Am I the central figure, that bears the responsibility to bring God’s Kingdom, the Kingdom that has been waited for 6,000 years of Biblical history?
How can I ever stand worthy to stand as the symbolic representation of Christ on earth? As I look through the corridors of history, I see great Christians, heroes of faith, men like Spurgeon, Hall and Wilberforce. Why didn’t God choose them as the Central Figure?
This guy, I don’t think you got the right guy… I make the sandwiches at the local Dunkin Donuts! I look within myself, I see a broken man. Can God truly use a man like me?
Then I realized, when a great Christian said this: oftentimes God calls the most broken and unworthy men into His Providence. Why?
For when the battle is won and the victory is obtained, everyone knows that they didn't win the battle because of that man; it was God who won the battle! (Applause)
And then I read in 2 Corinthians:
"That His grace was sufficient for me and that His power was made perfect in my own weakness." (tears) After I realizing this, the end of the "Blessing and Glory" made so much sense! "I am unworthy! I am broken! I am unqualified!" But my prayer is that God will use this imperfect man for His perfect will.

God doesn't call the qualified; He qualifies the called. My prayer is that He will shape and mold this man like clay into whatever vessel He desires for His will.
But sometimes the road ahead looks so hopeless. We were so close for the Kingdom to come, but, as you know, due to the cosmic fall of the Han mother we lost the entire foundation that True Father strived for, bled for and died for. My prayer is that in these times of doubt, uncertainty and grief, I can truly cling onto to what True Father said and his promise that he made on October 15, 1999, “if the Han mother does not fulfill her responsibility, then I will raise up a mountain again.” I pray that I can truly trust in the Lord with all my heart and not lean upon my own understanding, but acknowledge Him in all my ways. (tears)
As I see the road taken by the 2nd King, I truly am amazed. Here is a man who lived the scripture, “what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his soul? But why would he and countless other Christians walk the suffering course? [Of] all the hate, mockery and martyrdom. Why should I want to walk such a course? Why should I not just pursue a life of comfort and pleasure?
I realized that in my own life, it is because Christ has requested that I walk such a course. How could I ever deny such a request? (tears) That would be to deny the one who gave me life and deny the one who was crucified for me while I was his enemy, and to deny the one who gave me spiritual and physical salvation by walking the trail of tears! [It would be to] forget his tender mercies, his kindness, his goodness, his love, his faithfulness, his grace. For that I would refuse his request to serve Him for a short 70-80 years of earthly existence? The audacity of a man who could reject such a request! (tears)
I know I still have a lot to learn and I am inadequate in many respects, but I sincerely wish that I, as a moon, could solely exist to reflect the radiance of the Son of God. That is why in the words of the “Pledge” holy song, “though the path is narrow and steep. Cruel thorns leave a trail of blood. Still I pledge I will follow the way. Follow as far as my Father will lead.” Thank you very much.
