Section 3. Lecturing and the Mission of a Minister

1. Lecturing is the Leaders Major Job

1) Ministers have to Speak

Everybody, put out your tongue. The tongue, when does it work? It works when you eat. Then, for whom does it work? It works for yourselves. When do you think can the tongue work for others? It is the time when your tongue works more for others than for yourselves that makes you a person of virtue. So, teachers and professors are the ones whose tongue is mostly used for others rather than used for having their meal. Those people are great.

Have you ever cried for others? It's easy for people to cry for themselves, isn't it? So, have you cried for other people? There are two kinds of tears. One who sheds tears for himself or herself will go to hell, and one who sheds tears for others will go to Heaven. So, are you going to use your tongue, or will you not? [We will]

This lady who graduated from seminary, you don't like to talk, do you? However, you like to write and think. That's the enemy. You have to do what you don't like. People who couldn't get good results will see progress when they try what they don't want to do. Do you understand? Now, do you like to give speeches? You don't like it, and that's why you cannot witness. If you like to lecture to others, you will bring a good result in witnessing. (96-172)

If you don't have people to lecture to, go to the park and lecture for 18 hours. If you cannot find people you want to lecture on, pray such as, "Heavenly Father, I am not lecturing at home today, and I will give lectures at park for 18 hours." Then do it as you prayed. Try to do it everyday for 6 months. If you give lectures to you friends for 3 months, you must be tired of it. Do you think so? [Yes, Father]. How long have you lectured? I gave a lecture for 18 hours on the New Year's Day of last year. Do you think I did that because it's easy to do? 24 hours. I continuously talk and lecture from when I wake up until I close my eyes at night. I have lived in that way all my life. (107-250)

The reason why I gather you here is to guide you into the right course. If you break down while you are lecturing, I will take care of you. If you die when you do so, I will hold the funeral for you. Then, in the spirit world you'll be able to say that you died while lecturing until your throat was torn, following Father's direction. How serious is it? You have to lecture at the risk of your life. God has supported me because I have done so, and that makes Rev. Moon, who could have perished, be a globally famous person. That's how I have survived. (107-249)

When we think over why we talk through our mouth, we realize that everything in heaven and earth is connected through the harmonized mouth. Everything can be connected. (86-165)
