5) Do as Father Directs

Korean leaders, if you don't follow as Father directs you will be accused in the spiritual world. If you go out now and do not follow my direction, your descendants won't be good. Your descendants. The spiritual world won't cooperate at your pleasure.

If you don't follow what I say to you, I cannot take care of you. But if you do follow my direction and cannot accomplish it, I can take the responsibility for it. [We will follow your direction.] Go away if you don't want to. You don't have to do it. Are you supposed to do all that I say? I am saying that you shouldn't do an irrelevant act. Do what I say.

See. This is the time to cross the Red Sea. Now is the time like that. You will perish if you act at your pleasure. This is the time to cross the Jordan River or Red Sea. If people had acted of their own accord when they crossed the Red Sea, they would have perished. When the twelve tribes were to go across the Jordan River, they didn't complain, even though they were just sitting near river for three days. Because of their deed's they could get into Canaan. You should know the time.

If not all of you can do, God will let some minister inherit the tradition even if he is the only one. Then he will represent the rest, and God will work through him. Do you think all the American ministers will proudly remain in front of God? You have to decide to go the right direction. Pray as I direct. My direction... You should pray "Heavenly Father, please help me for the purpose directed by Father." If your thoughts intervene in the prayer, all of you will perish. Do you understand? [Yes]. I'm not joking. Go and say to everybody exactly what I said. Now is the time like this.

A minister you visit may already know your name through the help of the spiritual world alone. Do you understand? Find a person who was chosen by the spiritual world. The spiritual world guides. The Unification Church started like that. Didn't you hear the testimony of the missionary, Hyunsil Kang? The spiritual world will cooperate as long as you follow my direction. When I said "go and witness," one postponed his departure and went to witness later. When he arrived at a station, someone had been waiting with a ticket for him. What would have happened if he hadn't even gone? The person who sent him will be accused. So, you have to respect him. You have to respect him because he delivers the words instead of God. (135-202)

American leaders who are here, you shouldn't have your own meeting after meeting with Father. In Japan, the leaders bring a recorder and record Father's speech. Then they distribute it all over the country. That's why God works for them. You should write it down and deliver exactly what I say. Then spiritual world will cooperate. You should do the same thing. Bring the recorder and do as they do. You shouldn't interpret at your pleasure, and do not say this and that. You didn't report exactly, and that's why the situation of American church is like this. Spiritual world doesn't stick to you and there won't be progress. It won't cooperate. Do you understand my words? You have to listen clearly. If a person attends this meeting and reports differently when he goes back, you shouldn't think of him as your friend.

From now on, you should listen carefully to what Father says gathering you senses, set your step with it, adjust your mind to it, act in accordance with it and become a worldwide Unification Church member. You should have followed this. However you didn't care about what I said because you have been doing other things, and after several years you realized, "What did Father say? We leaders made mistakes." That kind of fault is happening. All of you.

Then, if there will be a law of the Kingdom of Heaven here, through whom will it be made? Through you? Through God? Don't you think it will be done by Father? From now on, when we are building Kingdom of Heaven all of the Unification Church members have to respect Father's direction more than the constitution of the Kingdom. Do you understand what I mean? If you don't listen to Father's words, there is no way to keep out Satan. If you act differently, you will perish. You will see.

If there were ten who heard my speech, how come each person acted differently? If ten people listen, all of ten have to say the same words and act in a same way. However, this one is like this, and that one is like that. Do you understand? You have to know clearly. Do you understand what it means? [Yes.] If so, there won't be any progress. All the people who come in will run away. It won't last long. Everybody will run away. What's that? It is as if you sow empty seeds. It's like empty seeds. The color and shape of empty seeds and real seeds are same.

Can you sow seeds? If you are so called "36 Couples," shouldn't you know that? I doubt that you could sow seeds. Seeds. Once you receive my words, then you should sow seeds. Do you think it will be done by itself? Do you think God will help that? That's why people join and then leave. Satan grabbed them and took them away. You have to clearly understand. Do you understand? American and Europe leaders? [Yes.] Keep it in mind. [Yes.] The seeds come through God and Father. They don't come through you. Not through a continental director or a state leader. Don't you know this even if I don't explain it to you? Then what kind of play is this?

If I had done as you, do you think I could have found God's providence? Because I followed the Principle, God has cooperated with me. Is this my own opinion?

At my own will? Do you think I act at my pleasure? If I had done that, I wouldn't have suffered like this. I wouldn't have been through all the indemnity. If I had wanted to do that, I would have spent 40 years doing nothing, and if I had spent 40 years like that, I would have perished. It would have been over when I go to prison this time. It would have ended. Do you understand? There would have been no seeds.

See. When a diplomatic minister or an ambassador or an envoy goes to a foreign country, if what he says is different from what his king said, the country will be perish or it will be sold. If so, he is a traitor who sells his own country. Don't you think so? What I'm saying is right. Is it wrong? If you want to protest, do it.

It will be fine if you make copies of the President's speech. Will it be fine if you interpret whatever you want it to be? The fate of the country depends on it. Then do you think you can do whatever you want to do if the country is the Kingdom of Heaven? That means you betray the Kingdom of Heaven. If so, God will leave you. God won't work with you. No matter how hard you pray, it won't help unless you accept directions. (135-203)

So, you only need to follow Father's direction. If I say "you do this," then you don't have anything to do but wishing it. And that is the only model that can give you power for pioneering your environment. How much am I getting close to such a standard? How I can unite with such will? You will have self-confidence depending on your trying to do that. Try that. You will realize that God is with you.

I am going the way of God's providence, too, to have confidence. That is a formula. I am doing this today, and I will do the same thing tomorrow, too. My basic attitude is that I will follow the formula until I die, and that I won't break it even if I have every reason to make an excuse. I will not disturb the order. Front is always front, and above is above all the time. If I had gone to the front when I must not or stood above when I must not, it would be a rash act, and all our effort would have been in vain.

That's why I put the God's providence first, and follow it. Don't you think so? Once you place God's will and Father's words in front, and once you set them as your standard, you should move following them. What's the procedure of restoration through indemnity? It is that you have to set an official standard and should devote yourself every day and night. You will never know your way unless you do. You don't have confidence, do you? Then how can you gain it? Can you do by yourself? Does God tell you everything about the providence and how it's going to be done? Do you know it? You don't know, do you? [No, we don't.] Because you don't know, my direction is the only one that you can count on and you can set it as your standard. If I say "witness to one person every month," you should do that with your whole heart shedding tears. Pray every day and night saying that you are too ashamed to stand in front of God because you are not filial and not fulfilling His order.

Do you think you can create a history of restoration or God's history if you work separately? Do you think the restoration through indemnity can be done by yourself? It will never happen by your will. Therefore, there is no choice but to set the Bible or Divine Principle as your standard.
