~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, Dr. Yong's message reveals his heart of always trying to inherit God's sorrow and True Father's example of restoring the places and the people after the Fall. His incredible experience with visiting the families of members, the External Cain (politicians), and the internal Cains (the religious leaders) give us an insight into how to fulfill our mission the Principled Way indeed. These are the highlights of his speech today.

We have to be the representatives of God and True Parents. So we should not treat ourselves" as our own. This kind of representation is significant. When we recite the family pledge, we are speaking as a representative of my family, tribe, ancestors, God, and True Parents. Our recitation of the pledge has a remarkable impact every time we say it. Adam and Eve treated themselves as their own. They never knew about being representatives of humankind. They do not have the concept of representative. Each one of them treated themselves as their own. So we should change our concepts and go beyond it.

We are not just ourselves. We belong to God and True Parents. Each of us is a representative who needs to convey God's precious blessing to all over the world. Our True Parents always remember that they are the vanguards on indemnity in place of history. Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us. How much Heavenly Father loves each one of us. Why did God choose each one of us an adopted person to stand the representatives of our family, tribe, and all of humankind?

There is a particular reason why. Through loving us, Heavenly Father wants to love many people. Through us, He wants us to save our ancestors, our tribes, ancestors, and all humankind. There is an individual purpose for us to become His heavenly sons and daughters. Through us, he wants all humanity to receive the blessing.

To restore the world, Father made it a point to visit each country, beginning with visiting all the cities in Korea. Whenever True Father visited any place, he would always take note of the ancestors' investments. He wants to inherit the ancestors Jeongseong and heart. We all need to be the courageous pioneers of faith. Rev. Yo Han Lee advised us a long time ago. When we are a pioneer, how do you restore your area of pioneering? As a minster, as a center leader, as a blessed family and as a pioneer.

There is a principle of how to restore the tribal area, village, nation, and others. Without following the Principle, we cannot regain our respective pioneering areas. God created that atmosphere in each area. Without following the Principle, we cannot follow True Father's way to restore our mission area. Exactly, we need to follow the Principle.

We need to inherit God's tears for each area when he started his world tour in 1965. In the future, all of us will become leaders. God created in the order of creation. He created the environment first. Then He created Adam and Eve. In the creation process, God prepared the external environment first. We need to inherit God's tears and suffering in this area,

First, wherever we go. We need to restore the environment. Making the Holy Ground is the condition to restore the environment. Secondly, Father promised to God, three years later, he will send the missionaries. That is why in 1975, he sent the missionaries all over the world. And then, he called all the missionaries to educate their heart more internally. So God's restoration approach is like this. To restore a nation, there is a need to visit each city of the country. We need to restore members. So when Father went to America, he did a 50-state tour. At least once a year, you need to visit the entire nation. We must educate the people to remember God's, Will, and Heart. Thus, Father visited each corner of South Korea, first. So he knows every corner in Korea. He cries for each province in Korea.

Father said when you become a missionary or pioneer. First, you need to visit the area like the top politician in the city to the provincial level. How much have you visited the holy ground? Then the spirit world will try to assist you. The national leader should have a concept of total salvation. Secondly, you have to visit your parents. Father always thinks of all humankind.

We have to go through the external first. We have to visit the top politician first. Visit the city mayor and the provincial governor. You need to show who you represent. Next, you need to visit the religious leaders, and then you need to focus on direct witnessing. You came as a representative. The external Cain is a politician. The internal Cain is the religious leader. Through this, you can quickly mobilize. If you do not do this, it is hard to succeed.

The Principled way first is to start from the top to bottom, not the other way around.. We need to repent if we haven't done this. We need to visit all the Christian churches. The religious people are the ones who are prepared by God. You have to find the right people God has prepared.

The other important point is to love the members' origin. The center leader should know this. Have you visited the members' house? If you have not visited them, you are not doing it in a principled way. You have to go to each home. Do not miss any house. You have to visit every house. After six months, incredible things will happen. This is what we can learn from Rev. Yo Han Lee's experience. We have to proceed from external to internal to more internal.

The leaders should visit the members' houses. You should love the member' parents more than your own. You have to remember their names and their birthdays. If you do like this, no member will leave the church. They will feel important and connected to you. When you know your members' origin, you will feel connected to each other and begin to love them more than your own, internally. This is why Dr. Yong visited all the cities in the Philippines, Korea, Indonesia, India, and other countries. The spirit world will begin to reveal to you things that will help you succeed. If we do this, Satan will not accuse us.

After you finish, you visit again every year. Everything is about Jeong Seong. Heavenly Parents is the origin of our life and the universe. Ask yourself: how many politicians have you visited? How many religious leaders have you met with brothers and sisters? We need to teach our brothers and sisters properly. When you visit the members' house, you need to bring something. If you do this, the members' will have this unforgettable experience. You have to inherit the origin of a place: its history, its families, and its people.

We have to love people internally and eternally. How many times have True Parents visited each state in America? Father showed us the way. So, we need to follow Father's example. We have to be the representative of Heavenly Parent and True Parents? The voices of the people's ancestors are still alive until today. This is why studying the place, people and their history is very important.

"Try going to the highest pace in the city and pray for its people. Even if you just come and go, the spirit world will help you inherit it and its people. Miracles will begin to happen. The holy spirit will come down. When I wrote to True Mother about my experience with visiting every place in the country where I go. True Mother got so inspired. The letter I sent to her was shared with all the leaders, and they started calling me." They wanted to learn from his experience and apply it.

You have to determine to leave a trace of your presence, blood, sweat, and tears. The evidence of your Jeongseong should be left in those places that you visit. If this is your commitment and way of serving those places, nobody will accuse you. Miracles will start happening after a certain period.

No pain, no gain. If there is no investment in pain and profound experience., it is hard to gain something. Gaining comes after investing pain and suffering. We need to think about how Jesus and True Father did it when they were alive. If they were to go now and visit you, they would quickly feel our love and tears. We always have to think we are a historical offering. We have to inherit our ancestors Jeong Seong. If you shed tears more than the historical figures from Adam to Noah, Abraham, and all, then they will feel your heart and spirit.

We need to go beyond the concept of faith and works. If we do not do our mission correctly from the Principled point of view, we will not gain enough victory. We need a united effort and character to show our faith and commitment and realize the world we all want to live in peace together. There is a trace of fallen blood, sweat, and tears for historical people and God's experience with them in blood, sweat, and tears. When we inherit the spirit and character of God, True Parents, the historical figures, and the ordinary people in the area, you can feel their incredible experience and God's sorrowful tears.

When we discover the blood, sweat, and tears of the people and the places we visit. Then we begin to inherit its spirit, character, and heart, sweat, and tears. And, we can fight for the restoration of those places. If we meet God's sorrowful tears and overcome our sleep, and everything our physical body wants. Then we can succeed in anything we want to accomplish. We need to unite our mind and body, heart, and lineage with God's sorrowful tears. When we repent bitterly, atonement commences, and unbelievable things start to happen for the good of your mission and your relationship with God and True Parents.

Let us take every opportunity to grow from the experience of investing our Jeongseong in everything. By repenting bitterly, we can remove our sins. We need to restore one people, one sovereignty, one territory to God and True Parents.

If we raise the level of our heart from this kind of motivation, effort, and experience, we can quickly get the response and the result of our investment. The good spirit world will open up, and they will help us mobilize for the realization of God's Will. If we genuinely love Heavenly Parents, we need to love the origins of our brothers and sisters, the love of the people, and the places we go.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Yong, for such a beautiful account of your leadership and pioneering history. We feel God is active and alive through you. Thank you so much for everything you have done. And for all the things that you continue to do for all of us. Kamsahamnida!
