3. Rev. Chang Song Ahn, a Lecturer who Prayed Three Times as Long as his Lectures

When you convey the words of truth, you have to shed tears. Lecturer Chang Song Ahn must have told you. If one plans to lecture for two hours, I gave the direction that one should pray three times as long. He is doing that even now. His custom was to make a recording and lecture after listening to the recording.

In the lecture, the power of re-creation has to be input. Not only the power of re-creation, but also the power of love must also be input. Why? The beginning of creation is to realize the ideal of love for the sake of the reciprocative partner of love. So, of course all one's knowledge and characteristic factors are also needed, including the heartistic elements that must be input centering on love. That is the correct Principle of Creation.

This is how God has also done it. What He, who has it all, also needs is love. Love is eternal and unchanging. Because we are trying to find an object who can reside with us forever, we ourselves have to be dead serious about it. You have to input your own life.

Just as it is said that you should love your Lord God with all of your heart, will, and character, you should love your object-partner with this mind-set. The same is true for God. He has poured out all of his heart, will, and character in order to claim His object of love. What it means is that He has put in everything for the sake of you who are His objects of love. Do you understand? [Yes]

Even God has done it like that. Isn't He able to command you do so because He himself has also done the same? He can tell you to do it only because He has done more than that. If He did not, then both would be false. Because He himself stands in the central position of dedication and subjectivity, and because He stands on the foundation of accomplishments, even if He gives such directives all those beings around Him do not rebel but obey. This is the law of the heaven and earth. Isn't the history of restoration the history of re-creation? [Yes] Is it easy to say it in words? Who is the one who recreates? Can you do it yourselves? It is done from the position of God. (172-194)
