Today, the people who are dispatched to Satan's world for Heaven's sake are emissaries. There are people of many sizes and positions; however, you must not leave the life of an emissary when faced with this. Here, life-or-death threats always intervene. If you come near to losing your life, you come to be in the position of having the problems of life come to your side.

Because of this, it is impossible to live the life of the emissary without having the thought of finding your home country to watch over you and support you, to be hundreds of times stronger than your present environment. When you have the heart to see the glory of your home country and the thoughts of all people happily having hopes of their country come true, and as you think of the time when your merit will show forth because you have created history by restoring independence to your home country, then you must ignore your position today. If you do not have such a heart before you, then you cannot complete the mission of the emissary. To say it again, if your desire to see the restoration of independence to your home country becomes a thousand or ten thousand times stronger than the desires you have now, then if you have the heart of suffering that can change your life today, you will overcome, and complete the mission of the emissary.

If you do your duty like that and suddenly an accident should happen, another responsible person will be sent to replace you. Even at the time of your death, your friend or team is already sent to take your place. Because you came from the exemplary position, even if you suffer, someone will come to your side.

That kind of person will always have a replacement sent by God. However, if you aren't in such a position and you die, no matter how much you accomplished it will end with you.

What kind of person is Heavenly Father? He is the king of emissaries. He is the commander in chief, the great king of the emissaries who come to Satan's world to bring independence to the fatherland. If that is so, then did Heavenly Father ever have a single opportunity in 6000 years to proclaim, "I am God. This is the truth I have to teach." He never did. Even so, Heavenly Father has been working through our clear consciences to guide and direct us.

He has raised up the nature of our hearts throughout the 6000 years of the history of the providence for restoration to bring a world of harmony.

The son of God comes to this land to fulfill this responsibility entirely, he has the mission of the emissary who must bring the external back to unite with the internal. When there are external difficulties, because Heavenly Father is on the internal side, there is an incentive to unite with him. A difficult environment does not bring separation, instead it causes you to become one with the internal aspects. Because of this, it is impossible to deny the fact that God will appear in that sort of environment to bring his blessing and fight together with you.

In such a position, what kind of attitude must you prepare? Your belief in the restoration of the fatherland must be stronger than any other's, burning in the center of your heart. To repeat, you must become the engineer who can build the homeland for which God has been waiting 6,000 years. You must have the self-confidence to take responsibility for this tremendous mission as a pioneer, a member of the crack troops who stand in the advance guard. We have to take on the serious responsibility of bearing this special mission that exists only in this time, which so many people who have come and gone desired to achieve but couldn't.

Furthermore, all things we do--eating, sleeping, coming, and going, everything--must be for the sake of establishing the fatherland. How long has Heavenly Father been waiting for a strong and brilliant person he can send as his emissary to accomplish this mission? That providence has not yet once been fulfilled.

However, now it is possible to create the fatherland. That fatherland has its sovereignty, its own territory and its own people. Also, its own people's lineage is destined; no other people will be able to attain such a history. For the sake of this homeland, we must take on the mission of the emissary. The faster you bring this mission to its successful completion, the closer the independence of the fatherland will come about through you.

What kind of attitude must the emissary adopt? The important things should not be your life or death. The emissary is always faced with life-or-death situations, and is constantly interrupted by death in his path. Even so, you stand in God's place walking the borderline of life and death, stepping over death. I don't know whether those who have stepped over the 38th parallel know this feeling, but the emissary must adopt the resolute way of life of the person who walks on the footholds of death. It is a challenge similar to that of crossing a nation's borders.

Today, where we have a place to communicate the Word, if we limit how much we give, it is wrong. First, we must be a human example, then a life example, then an example of action: we must be an example in every way. In other words, in any neighborhood, in relationships high and low, you must set the example in front of everyone. It is not right if you cannot be better than other people in certain ways. Those people must say, "That person is really necessary to our neighborhood." You must make the foundation that you become one with the village, wishing not to leave but to stay there as long as you can. If you cannot create that sort of foundation, it will be very difficult to carry out the purpose of our position.

Have you lived that kind of life? I'm asking if you have spent two years, three years, ten years as one living that kind of life as if with the people among which you were born? Becoming an emissary does not complete your responsibility. For the person who was sent from his people or country by special command to fulfill the purpose of the fatherland, it is a mission which even after ten or twenty years cannot be completed. Also, if your mission cannot be completed in one generation, then someone will be sent in your place to continue the mission. Furthermore, centering on this special command, with anticipation, you must fulfill your responsibility from a position similar to that of a live offering.

From that perspective, your attitude and all other aspects of yourself must be different. You must believe that you are the only one in that village who can fulfill the responsibility, and then you must do it.

God's emissary always lives for the sake of the fatherland. He, himself must be the one who says, "Heavenly Father, please be here," for God is the original leader. Although his is a position with an unclear future, if the emissary must die, then he must die with God; if he is hunted, then he must be hunted with God; if he is driven out of his home, then it is with God that he must be driven out; and if he fights, then he must fight together with God.

If, when heaven develops and prepares a strategy, you cannot overcome a difficult situation and establish a foothold, then it will be impossible to fulfill the colossal responsibility of defining the fatherland's fate. Because of this, wherever you look at the colossal responsibility for the sake of the fatherland, it is impossible to not be serious about your attitude and actions regarding the mission of emissary you must carry as an individual.

For example, there are currently spies who are being sent from North Korea to the South. The spies sent here must receive training as special agents. When they train, what is the first thing they learn? They must learn South Korea's customs. They have to learn South Korea's language and become accustomed to South Korea's way of life. How adapted they must be to the South Korean life to be able to put themselves in the position to live through life-and-death situations.

Because of that principle, if you ask how it is that they can adapt themselves to all the specific areas of their living environment, it is because it is the principle of the special agent. All customs of life, such as language, cannot seem even a little awkward in front of a South Korea person, a spy cannot seem strange in any way. He must live in the midst of all the commonplace and natural environment as if it were his own.

Because in North Korea, North Korean's have their own customs, their own way of life and their own social system, without his knowing it they might surface in any environment. So, in spite of this, how difficult it must be to eliminate everything and act like someone from another region or country. If he doesn't think about things two- or threefold it won't work. We can guess that the position of spies requires that they think two or three times about and pay attention to each act they commit and each word they say.

If a spy's actions or way of speech is a little different from other people's, it becomes one clue through which his true identity can be exposed. Because that former lifestyle comes from within one's innermost heart, how painful that position must be. How much training it must take to adjust oneself to that way of life. That is the same way of life that we are living.

Although today in this region the Unification Church leaders are in a somewhat developed position, a long time ago, in the beginning, similar to what I have been saying, we were like spies and we had no choice but to live the life of an emissary with a special command. In order to live that kind of life what do you have to do? You cannot have the belief that all of your ideas can be forced to apply to that region.

Today, however, when you consider the past actions of the Unification Church leaders, you can see that they did not understand that. Immediately after going to a certain region, they spread the word without considering how the people of that region thought, thus revealing their self-centeredness. It is impossible for us not to look back on these activities as being our greatest impediments.

Did you accept the mission of heaven's emissary? If not, then did you accept the mission as an ambassador's emissary? Because we have done things however we please, we are paying the price of unspeakable suffering. Now, centering on God's will, you must make up your mind and say, "This body receives the special command of the emissary from God." Because of this, you must know the fact that one mistake of yours causing terrible consequences to your surroundings is not a local thing; it is connected to the vast and great fatherland.

Now, you are the new emissaries. You have received a new command from God and stand in front of a new world. You must now become more serious. It is not right to take your authority and go confront the people of a village. Your life-and-death problems are involved and all the problems of the world until now are involved. Furthermore, with a serious heart, you must do the emissary's duty as you lay a foundation for yourself and a new destiny. In order to create a foundation which will not collapse in Satan's world, you must conduct yourself well. However, if you disregard this and live with the same habits as before while wondering whether or not to do God's command, God's Will will never be accomplished.

New clothes and worn-out clothes are different. A new command and an old command are different. Today's new point of view and the past point of view are different. Today's era and the past era are entirely different things. This is a new stage of growth, with a new consciousness, a new spirit and a new resolution. If you do not prepare a new environment, then the new truth cannot be accomplished.

The providence moves in stages: first, second, then third. Because of this, in order for you to rise up to the next stage you must have the heart to prepare on your own. When this preparation is put to use on your environment, the issue becomes how it can be brought to bear fruit. Concerning this problem, you are still ignorant.

The missions of emissaries to a village and those to the capital city are different. The circumstances are different. It is also different when you have the mission of the emissary entering on the sovereignty of a nation. You mustn't have only the same abilities as in the past. Furthermore, when you have a new command and a new direction, you must invest your life with a new beginning according to that command. You cannot use the same foundation as in the past. You must make a new investment.

You must have the spirit to establish the fatherland, bring glory to it, live with it and then die in it. Until now, no one has been able to take that responsibility, and you must not neglect this somber responsibility which can come about only once in any era. Listen once and think about it ten times. You must consider the things you hear once, ten times or more. In order to bring about the fortune of Heaven here, you mustn't be troubled even though you are disgraced a thousand times, and even though you walk the path of death a hundred times you mustn't falter. If you have that conviction, then God will watch over the paths you take. In my experience, Heavenly Father never abandoned me during difficult times. You can be sure that He will also watch over you.

Therefore, as the one with the mission of restoring independence to the fatherland, with the conviction that you are the only one who can accomplish this responsibility for that village, and as the person in charge of the one plan, you must never quit your position. You must not become a traitor here. Even the inability to fulfill the responsibility of a thousand people is forbidden. Because we are in the back roads of this responsibility, there is no way for us to avoid or step over it.

Even if you cannot sleep, you must do it. Even if you cannot eat, you must do it. Even while you are being driven out, you must do it. When you make a new determination to accomplish this sort of mission, the path you must walk will naturally open up to you. But, if you don't do this, the world of hope and glory which Father has chosen, becomes a world of darkness. Father is worried about this mission. So, the mission to which this time in front of you has been committed is the mission of "the emissary and the fatherland."

When you have succeeded in this mission through which God will find this nation, then all of its people will praise you. When will that day, when glorious Heaven is praised, come about? When you become people who can pledge that your life's purpose is to seek that end, never forgetting it, the day of hope for the independence of the fatherland will approach in your future. If you cannot do this, a path of suffering will lie before you. You must know that arising from that failure, that end will also lie before the thirty million people of your nation.

The figure of the emissary does not allow you to put on an air of importance. Also, you cannot become one simply through your ability. The emissary's mission stands in a position connected to God's heart, and while he establishes the correct customs for his nation, he must control his environment by absolute loyalty. On the day that you do this, you can stand in the position to carry out God's direct command.

Father knows, from many years of personal experience, that if you fulfill the responsibility of the emissary, that work will absolutely become a success. I spoke with you for a while today with the desire for you to go out and do such acts yourselves.
