Did you live befittingly today? I hope you conducted some introspection and that this new year of the horse brings about greater results than in the past. Especially, many of our elder thirty-six-couple members have come here today. Furthermore, we are also living at a time when we must prepare for the new world. I must also make many preparations because the life ahead of me is shorter than the life I have lived until now. The thirty-six couples need to seriously consider this point. Is that right or not? You became the first ancestors of blessed families after six thousand years, thanks to True Parents. If you think you have not been able to attain value as those ancestors and have not become noble families, you must do your very best in your last remaining years. Don't you have to become people who can live up to the blessings Heaven bestowed upon you in order to have something to say at least? Isn't that right?

Father explained to us about the three stages of life. All people spend ten months within a mother's womb, and then some live up to a hundred years on earth (though others don't) and finally all go to the eternal world. Life on earth is a preparatory process to enter the eternal world and enjoy freedom and happiness there. You have all received immense blessings through True Parents. What should you do about these blessings? Your future descendants should be able to remember you as great ancestors that worked alongside the True Parents and as ancestors that are recognized by True Parents. We should be able to raise future descendants that can say that. Yet, we realize that our elders have not been able to do so and that they do not have much time left. The more we think about it, the more we must invest more effort. Do you understand?

Hence, please become noble families. Only by doing so, can you confidently greet True Father and tell him how you lived on earth when you meet him in the spiritual world. Otherwise, you may end up hiding. We should not become such people. Don't you agree?

With this, I sincerely hope that you do your best and remain in good health.

Bring about greater results than in the past

Approximately 90 Unificationists from Korea and Japan attended a congratulatory luncheon with True Mother to celebrate Heavenly Parent’s Day. Participants offered a bow of respect at the Bonhyangwon (True Father's burial ground), before the luncheon, and then participated in a toast and a cake cutting to ring in the New Year. Following are some of True Mother’s words from the event:

HakJaHan-140131-2.png

"We need to become the people who produce big results, reflecting each day on the 2020 motto, ‘”Let us become true owners of Cheon Il Guk (the Ideal Heavenly Kingdom of Eternal Peace) who practice true love in resemblance to our Creator, the Heavenly Parent!"’

"We are all now preparing for a new era and should be serious about it. You, as Unificationist families and the first ancestors of the 6000 year providence have responsibilities to fulfill. We need to become people who can bear the responsibility of Heaven’s blessings."

HakJaHan-140131-3.png

"We live our life in three stages: 10 months in the womb, 100 years on Earth, and an eternal life in the spirit world. Earthly life is a period for preparation to be free and happy in the eternal world."

"We received the great Blessing from our True Parents that our Heavenly Parent originally desired to give us. We need to pass the Blessing on to our descendants of all generations and become ancestors they can be proud of and who can say: 'My ancestor was really special for doing magnificent work with True Parents. True Parents know my ancestor.' Most importantly, we should all become prestigious families, doing our best so that in the spirit world, we can report our results to True Father."

"I recently visited America and realized that the families there love Hyo Jin (True Parent’s eldest son). There is an Unificationist to whom Hyo Jin appeared to spiritually before I left for America, and he had told this person that I would come to the U.S."

True Mother joined in with leaders and members for a traditional Korean New Year’s game, Yute, and sang one of her favorite songs, "사랑해 당신을" (Saranghae Tangshineul — Most beloved Spouse) as an offering for the day.

Universal Peace Academy meets with True Mother in as part of American tour

This month, the Universal Peace Academy (UPA) met with True Mother in Las Vegas Nevada, as part of the culmination of their United States Heritage Tour. True Mother shared her vision for the program and explained the providential investment of True Parents, turning the “Sin” City into “Sun” City.

True Mother’s goal in creating the Universal Peace Academy has been to educate new leaders that can inherit the heart and foundation of True Parents and to continue to build God’s providence in the future. The academy is located in Korea, but on December 21, the cadets began a month-long tour of the United States, meeting members, visiting landmarks, and learning about the history of the American movement.

The UPA cadets go on a tour of the Belvedere Training Center to learn about and gain insight to True Parents' work in the American Providence.

Letter jackets emblazoned with the UPA logo replaced their traditional uniforms as they began their march across the country where True Parents lived and worked for more than 40 years. The cadets hit all the major landmarks, from Philadelphia, the first capital of the United States Colonies, to the scenic vistas of the Grand Canyon. The tour also provided the participants a chance to meet with many of the organizations that continue to work for True Parents’ vision in America, including The Washington Times, The American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC), Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP), Middle East Peace Initiative (MEPI), and tours of the Wongu University of Oriental Medicine, The Manhattan Center, and HSW-UWC Headquarters in NYC.

Perhaps some of the more memorable experiences of the tour came from meeting the many families in each community and being able to experience some of the places that have special significance to True Parents and America.

On their second day in the country, the cadets witnessed in Bryant Park and encountered people of all different backgrounds and religions. Christmas Day was spent with families of the West Rock community in Upstate New York who generously opened up their homes to participants as part of a homestay, where the cadets were immersed in the lifestyle of a typical American family.

UPA cadets offer a tearful prayer at the Holy Rock, a location at the Belvedere Training Center blessed by True Father.

The stay in the Tarrytown, NY area was especially precious, as the cadets spent time touring the Belvedere Training Center, praying at the Holy Rock, and touring East Garden. The cadets heard heartfelt testimonies from those who had worked closely with True Parents. A special opportunity to view the family room in True Parents’ living quarters brought many to tears. They were overwhelmed as they sang songs and prayed, truly feeling the presence of True Father while looking at the brown leather couch where he had often sat.

The cadets bonded with local youth at the Shehaqua Family Camp Winter Retreat, in Pennsylvania and celebrated New Year’s in Philadelphia. After a tour of Washington, D.C., including the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and the Korean War Memorial, the team headed west.

They met up with members in Little Rock, AR, Dallas, TX, Las Vegas, NV and Los Angeles, CA; making stops to pray at holy grounds along the way. Each city and community was different, from the diversity of the members down to the landscapes and weather, but all were enthusiastic to share their hearts with young people so eager to learn.

While the cadets received love and insight from the American members, part of the tour was also about giving back. In Texas, they worked on service projects alongside Generation Peace Academy (GPA) participants during their winter workshop.

As True Mother attempts to raise up the next generation of leaders, the USA tour was a way for the cadets to experience important providential history, as well as the deep love that True Parents have for America. True Mother’s future leaders received much from the tour, but were also a blessing to all that they met.

UPA cadets participate in a joint-service project during their time spent at the Generation Peace Academy Winter Workshop on the Morgan Ranch on January 8, 2014.

Whenever True Parents come to Kona, it's for a special Providential Purpose

Kona King Garden, Hawaii

HakJaHan-140118a-1.png

On January, 18, 2014, True Mother was greeted upon her arrival in Hawaii by local members with a greeting of "Aloha" (Welcome) and her response of "Mahalo!" (Thank you). After receiving a presentation of flowers and cutting of the celebration cake, True Mother began to speak.

Preparing for Providential Events

Whenever True Parents come to Kona, it's for a special providential purpose, making a foundation for an important upcoming event. The Spirit World prepares the way as we go. When I landed in Honolulu this morning at 4:30 AM, Unificationists were there to greet me. One wife reported that my late son, Hyo Jin Moon, had appeared in her dream the night before, telling her that he will be accompanying me to protect and serve me on this trip. We don't see it with our physical eyes, but the Spirit World knows True Parents' schedule and is always making preparations and conditions to support our providential activities.

Before True Parents completed special providential events, we prepared in Kona, offering prayer and other conditions. For example, we came to Kona before we went to meet Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung, and last summer I came to make preparations for the first anniversary of True Father's Seonghwa (Ascension). Now, I am in the midst of a 21-day condition before the first anniversary of Foundation Day.

As you know, I have been educating second-generation future leaders at the Universal Peace Academy. Twenty UPA students are now touring America, meeting Unificationist youth and finding out about activities of the Unification Movement here. They started in New York and are visiting all the major cities to promote UPA and to share their testimonies, and hear testimonies of True Parents' heart and work in America. They are amazed to see True Parents' worldwide foundation and were deeply impressed by the East Garden Holy Ground in New York. They shed tears as they heard testimonies from Unificationists of the staff working there. They felt True Parents' tears for America and the world and are inheriting the spirit that was invested here during the past forty years.

Think about Kona: how many times have True Parents come here, always making conditions for the sake of God's special providential events? After East Garden, Kona is the most precious place because True Parents have come here for the sake of the worldwide providence. The UPA students would have similar tearful experiences when hearing testimonies from Kona.

Why am I sharing this? It is because you have a tremendous spiritual background and foundation. You have a worldwide mission, a critical responsibility to testify to True Parents, to extend and multiply our church foundation, and to multiply Blessed Central Families. You have that position and responsibility, and you need to move forward with the same heart as True Parents. Please study hard and work hard.

Outreach and the International Education Center in Las Vegas

You have heard about the International Education Center in Las Vegas. For four years, True Parents worked there to make Las Vegas a central city for worldwide education through True Parents' teachings. The Education Center is half done, and should be completed before the end of this summer. It will be an international education center. In the lobby, there will be a museum displaying the activities of True Parents and the Unification Movement in America. A Hawaiian Queen Coffee Shop should also be there. Il Hwa and Hawaii Queen Coffee have combined their efforts and are working together to extend their foundation in all directions: north, south, east and west. I truly hope that Hawaiian Queen Coffee becomes the most popular coffee in Korea. As you know, it won the Crown Cupping Competition last November during the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival.

The International Education Center in Las Vegas will have fifty hotel sleeping rooms, a convention hall that seats 1,000 people, and nine conference rooms. I recently had a meeting with the contractors and designers. They presented their ideas and plans and expected me to give my suggestions. Instead, I explained that they first needed to understand the Founder and the vision. I then taught them Divine Principle for over one hour and gave each of them a DVD of my main speech in Korea last year.

One interior designer, who had brought a selection of colors and themes for me to choose from, was very inspired. She has a Catholic background and is married and a mother of two children, aged five and ten. She had read True Father's autobiography and was deeply impressed. She read it right away and came back asking to study Divine Principle. Through Rev. Jenkins' lectures, she found that her questions, such as why God could not stop the Fall, were answered. Now she and her husband are preparing to attend the Foundation Day Blessing. She is my spiritual daughter who I taught the Mission of Jesus and the Mission of True Parents during a business meeting! Likewise, each of you should witness in the same way, without excuse, no matter how busy you are.

Today, my greatest concern is witnessing. That's the first and most important point that I make everywhere I speak. Think about the Oakland Church in the San Francisco Bay area. Most American members joined there during the course of their travels. This is the American church history. Hawaii is the most attractive place in America, so you should study the Oakland model and discover how to apply it here. I have directed Bishop Kim to analyze this and focus on implementing it in Kona and Honolulu. The two should work together in their outreach efforts. Visitors to Hawaii should meet our members, be introduced to True Parents and take that experience home with them. Let's share our happiness with others. Please inherit my message heartistically and practice these words. There needs to be unity between True Parents and all Blessed Central Families.

Let's Stay United with True Parents

We are capable people and can do anything centering on True Parents. Let's be alive and active, sharing the happiness that we have received as Blessed Central Families together with True Parents. Share that happiness with your neighbors, tribes and communities. Let's recite this year's motto: "Let us become true owners of Cheon Il Guk (God's Heavenly Kingdom) who practice true love in resemblance to our Creator, the Heavenly Parent!" This is the motto until 2020. Let us unite with and memorize it.

The Divine Principle teaches that God is the Creator who created everything in preparation for the Ideal world and the ideal family. It is our responsibility to extend God's ideal. I held a major rally for the Northeast Asia Peace Initiative in Korea at the end of last year and gave an important message to China, Japan, Korea and America in this regard. I prepared a special video for you about this event, to be shown at Sunday Service tomorrow.

These days, information flies from home to home and from one family member to another. This is the age of fast communication. However, I was surprised to find that you don't seem to know about True Mother's work in Korea. Without understanding True Parents well, how can you testify in the spirit world about what you did with True Parents while on Earth? You need to make total harmony between your spirit and body and unite with True Parents.

There is such beautiful nature here in Hawaii. You should keep a busy schedule every day and night to witness. Witnessing creates the happiest moments where you can see resurrected life and hope. But, if you have no passion, you won't want to witness. As much as possible, speak about True Parents. They are not simply our term or idea. Instead, God envisioned and desired to establish True Parents as the ancestors of humankind even before the creation. They are now here in substance, so we must spread the word!

We must speak out: "The Messiah is here! True Parents are here!"

We offered a full bow and flower bouquets were offered by two second generation Japanese missionaries. Mother asked us to say "Aloha!" again and she said "Mahalo!" (Thank you). We sang "Welcome, True Parents, to Kona" two times to the tune of "Happy Birthday" while Mother blew out the candles and cut the cake. Then she was seated and began to speak.

Whenever True Parents come to Kona it's for a special providential purpose, making a foundation for an important upcoming event. Mother had planned to spend three weeks here this time, but she had to go to Las Vegas first and was delayed. Spirit World prepares for and welcomes True Parents wherever they go. When True Mother landed in Honolulu this morning at 4:30, members were there to greet her. One blessed wife reported that Hyo Jin Nim had appeared in her dream the night before, telling her that he will be accompanying True Mother to protect and serve her on this trip. Spirit World knows the True Parents' schedule and prepares the same way we are doing on earth. We don't see it with our physical eyes, but Spirit World is always making preparations and conditions to welcome True Parents and support their providential activities. Before True Parents did anything special they prepared in Kona, offering prayer and other conditions here. For example, they came to Kona before they went to meet Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung, and last summer True Mother came to make preparations for the first anniversary of True Father's Seonghwa.

As you know, True Mother has been educating second generation future leaders in the Universal Peace Academy. 20 (not sure of that number or other facts in this section) of those UPA students are going on tour around the world and around America, meeting our Unificationist youth and finding out about the work of our Unification Movement. They have been traveling across the USA, starting with San Francisco and visiting all the major cities to promote the UPA and to share their testimonies, and hear our testimonies of True Parents' heart and works. They were amazed to see True Parents' worldwide foundation. They were deeply impressed by the East Garden Holy Ground. They shed tears as they heard testimonies from True Parents' security guard and a kitchen sister there. They feel True Parents' tears for America and the world. They are inheriting True Parents' spirit that they poured out in the USA over the past 40 years. Think about Kona: how many times True Parents have come here, always making conditions for the sake of God's special providential events. After East Garden, Kona is the most precious place because True Parents came here for the sake of the worldwide providence. Those UPA students would have similar tearful experiences hearing testimonies from Kona.

Why am I sharing this? You have a tremendous spiritual background and foundation. You have a worldwide mission, a critical responsibility to testify to the True Parents, to extend and multiply our church foundation, to multiply Blessed Central Families in this area. You have that position and responsibility, and you must move forward with the same heart as True Parents. You must study hard and work hard.

You have heard about the Peace Palace in Las Vegas. For four years True Parents have been working there to make Las Vegas a central city for worldwide education in True Parents' teachings. The Palace is half done, and should be completed before the end of this summer. It will be an international education center. In the lobby (not sure of these facts) there will be a museum displaying the activities of True Parents and the Unification Movement in America. True Mother said that Kona Coffee (Hawaiian Queen Coffee) should also be on display there (perhaps she said there should be a Hawaiian Queen Coffee Shop). True Mother loves Kona coffee. Il Hwa and HQC have combined their efforts and are working together. True Mother wants to extend that foundation in all directions: north, south, east and west. True Mother has a passionate conviction that Hawaiian Queen Coffee should become the most popular coffee in Korea. As you know, HQC won the Crown Cupping Competition last November during the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival. (Everyone applauded)

We have capability. We can do anything centering on True Parents. We are the happiest people in all of human history! We must be alive and active, sharing the happiness we have received through our position as Blessed Central Families and through our True Parents. Share that happiness with your neighbors, tribes and communities. Let's recite this year's motto: "Let us become true owners of Cheon Il Guk who practice true love in resemblance to our Creator, the Heavenly Parent!" (I believe she said this is the motto until 2020.) You should memorize and unite with this motto.

The Divine Principle teaches God as the Creator, who created everything in preparation for the Ideal world and the ideal family. We must extend God's ideal -- this is our responsibility. True Mother held a major rally of the Northeast Asia Peace Initiative in Korea at the end of last year, giving a special message to China, Japan, Korea and America. True Mother prepared a special video for you about this event, to be shown at Sunday Service tomorrow. These days information flies from home to home and from one family member to another. This is the age of speedy information transmission, therefore True Mother was shocked that you (American members) don't seem to know about True Mother's work in Korea. We have a short physical life -- without understanding True Parents well here in the physical world, how can we testify in the spirit world about what we did with True Parents on the earth?

HakJaHan-140118-5.jpg

We must make total harmony between our spirit and body and 100% totally unite with True Parents. Today True Mother's greatest concern is for the area of witnessing. That's the first and most important point she makes everywhere she speaks. Think about the San Francisco Bay Area, the Oakland Church. Most American members joined there, after coming there on their travels. This is our American church history. Hawaii is the most attractive place. You should study the Boonville history and discover how to utilize it here in Hawaii. True Mother directed Bishop Kim to analyze that and focus on implementing it here and in Honolulu. Kona and Honolulu should be working together in the witnessing effort. Visitors to Hawaii should meet our members, be introduced to True Parents and take that experience home with them. We must share our happiness with others. Inherit True Mother's message heartistically and practice her words. There must be unity between True Parents and all Blessed Central Families.

Someone shared with true Mother about the new Pope Francis. This very popular Pope has spoken about how we must prepare for the future and he said that our hope will come from women. He said that women must become priests and clergy, and for this he has been accused by the Cardinals. The Spirit World is working everywhere today. True Father must have appeared to Pope Francis, telling him that we already have the most important woman leader, our True Mother. We must speak out: "The Messiah is here! True Parents are here!"

HakJaHan-140118-6.jpg

The Peace Palace in Las Vegas will have 50 full hotel rooms, a convention hall that seats 1,000 people, and 9 conference rooms. Recently True Mother had a meeting with the Peace Palace contractors and designers. They presented True Mother with their plans and ideas and expected True Mother to give her suggestions. Instead of offering suggestions True Mother explained that first they needed to understand the Founder and the vision. She then started teaching them the Divine Principle for over one hour. After this she gave each of them a DVD of her main speech in Korea last year. One interior designer, who had brought a selection of colors and themes for Mother to choose from, was very inspired. That designer comes from a Catholic background. She had read True Father's autobiography and was deeply impressed. Unlike others who leave materials they have received sitting around their home for a year without looking at it, she went home and watched it right away. She came back saying she would like to study Divine Principle, and Rev. Jenkins gave lectures to her. She found that her questions, such as why God could not stop the Fall, were answered. Now she and her husband are preparing to be blessed in the Foundation Day blessing. So she is True Mother's spiritual daughter. Likewise, you have no excuses, no matter how busy you are. In a business meeting True Mother taught Divine Principle, the Mission of Jesus and the mission of True Parents!

There is such beautiful nature here in Hawaii. You should have a busy schedule every day and night to witness. Who is the president of Hawaiian Queen Coffee? Ron, you are the youngest brother (member) in this room. You should lead all these brothers and sisters in witnessing. It is because we have no passion that we do not witness. Witnessing is the happiest moment. You can see resurrected life, you see hope. As much as possible we must speak about True Parents. True Parents is not a term or idea that we created. Before He began creating, God envisioned and desired to establish the True Parents as the ancestors of humankind. We now have them in substance, so we must spread the word!

To Japanese members working in businesses

Hoon Do Hae, December 15, 2013

Hoon Do Hae, December 15, 2013

[Mother comments on a video of her December 15, 2013, speech, which had just been shown.] I am the one who gave that speech, but seeing it again, I realize that I speak well. Didn't you understand? Did you understand everything said in the video? Are most of you here Japanese members? [Yes] Everyone on this side speaks Japanese while those on the other side speaks English. Is that right? Those on the English side please be seated.

Well then, what did you feel after watching the video? Do you feel grateful to have Mother sit here at this time? Please keep an unchanging heart of gratitude and be determined to make good on the sacrifices of our Heavenly Parent at all costs while True Mother is still alive. Whenever you are in charge of a field and achieve something, you are lucky that you still have Mother to whom you can report and share your joy with. Have you experienced that?

It is sheer joy to be able to have this time to share joy with one another by closely conversing and by sharing our true hearts during our lifetime on earth. I am over seventy years old now and there is no guarantee that I will live up to a hundred in good health. How old do I look to you? Do I look young?

This is not only your hope but also the hope of those prepared people on earth that still don't know of God's will. Whether or not they know of God's will or God's providence, mankind must ultimately know of our Heavenly Parent and must attend him. What is the motto for 2020 that I gave you this time? I would like to hear it from you. [Let us become true owners of Cheon Il Guk who practice true love in resemblance to our Creator, the Heavenly Parent!]

Whether consciously done or not, the actions of the conscience within all the people in the fallen world are certainly guiding humanity toward Heaven. You, the blessed families, are the first among them. God's hope is to make all fallen people into citizens of Cheon Il Guk; hence, as the first chosen people, how much we cooperate for this hope will decide whether we are remembered in history.

Just as you saw through the video, I spoke about Joshua and Caleb as an example to the leaders of the second-generation realm in Korea. Ten other people were sent spying with Joshua and Caleb. Upon their return, the ten people reported that it would be difficult to take the city. Those ten that said it would be difficult were excluded from history and were not remembered. Only Joshua and Caleb, who remained faithful to Heaven, and Moses were remembered in history. In other words, they became the central figures. You are such beings today.

Receiving the blessing through True Parents alone makes you into historic people. However, its importance would greatly differ depending on whether you love and live for yourselves and your family or for a greater good and for God's will. That is why I said that we must become true owners. What is a true owner?

A true owner is a person in a position where one fulfills the hope of our Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. It is your responsibility to obtain the authority to keep this universe, earth and world, which were created by our Heavenly Parent, steady.

This is how big our hopes are; yet, the world today, which is ignorant of God's will, is continuing to collapse, descend and go through destruction. Nature is also being destroyed as a result of fallen people. We should not become blessed families that let such things happen without taking any action.

Let us all mobilize based on what True Father showed us and taught us for the past sixty years and change the wrong direction of the world today. We have a clear purpose. We must save humanity in order to reach that purpose. Always remember that this is not only for the nation you live in but for the world. Do you understand?

And God's Will will certainly... What will happen to the world if this big, big whirlwind passes through it? There will be devastation but we will be able to see one goal and one purpose. When a whirlwind rages through, nature may be destroyed but people would be able to see one purpose. Do you understand? It appears as if you did not grasp what
