1. Ministers are Chosen Ones The motto for my life has been "God's spokesperson." From today, I ask that all of you become heavenly spokespersons. Become God's representative and his substitute. I hope that you can go forth and become one who will die in the place of God. A missionary is the spiritual leader of a region. You must pray for the people even if you lose sleep. Since you must make offerings in order to save the people, you have to give your full devotion. In an offering, the priest and God must become one in order for there to be a response. In your mission area, you must have a sense of urgency, as if your flesh and bones were melting. Stand upon the altar and preach with the following prayer and heart: "Father! It is distressing that I must go forth when I am so unworthy!" Do not center on yourself, but go in place of your Parents and Heaven as if you were a heavenly soldier holding God's instructions. You have fought for your people, and you have taken responsibility for your village, town, county and province, but you must know that you shouldn't complain or be disappointed in that position. The longer you are in that position, the more you should have sadness for God's will and mankind. God does not come with false intentions when choosing and establishing a central person on earth. He invests bone of bone, flesh of flesh, marrow of marrow to elect a heartistic center. This position is one which can be called the real "true." As good an opportunity will not again occur, and without devoting the utmost fervor and heart, it is impossible to establish a true singular standard. You must know that God had to work in this way through the individual, familial, tribal, national, and global levels. So, what kind of people are we today? We must have this ideal and tradition imbedded in our flesh and blood because we are people who have been anointed from these traditional ties. The whole world and cosmos revolves because of us, each one of you. Centering on you, your ancestors and descendants will be able to revolve. This kind of amazing phenomenon is happening right now. You do not know what an astonishing position you stand in now. You are the axis.
