When you go out witnessing, you should not go unprepared. The critical issue is how devoted your heart is when you set out. If your witnessing mission is going to take, say, one week, one month, one year, or two, three years, then you must make devotion during that time period. Regardless of rain and snow, or when you are eating, awake or asleep, coming and going, or resting or engaged in some activity, you must give everything with unchanging heart. If you give completely, then it will be returned to you completely. This is the Principle.

For this reason, the crucial question in loving God and man is how much we have exerted ourselves. This will transform into mature character in the spirit world, and become the foundation of glory. (42-228)

You will come to realize as you do witnessing that it is not easy; but you must do something that is very difficult to achieve. Repeating something over and over is like throwing stones into the ocean. You should continue until stones fill the ocean and eventually rise above it to form mountains. What happens when you do that? Your heart of faith will grow. The body does not undergo any change, but the heart will grow.

As you wake at dawn, you should pray and shed tears for the region of your responsibility.... That road of heart is the pathway to connecting spiritually with the spirit world. You will find yourself shedding tears because you have come to realize that when God looks down upon that village He is weeping because He knows that everyone in the town is heading toward hell. When you can enter the state of resonance with God's sorrowful heart, then the whole spirit world will be mobilized.

You will be linked to the spirit world only when God can be moved to shed tears because of your own efforts and can feel, "Ah, I am so grateful! The descendants of fallen Adam are better than Adam and Eve!" The spirit world will cooperate only when God can be moved in tears saying, "I never expected that the descendants of fallen Adam and Eve, you who are descendants of those who betrayed me, can do something like that."

From this point on, the door to the spirit world will begin to open. It is from this moment. Anything below that standard will absolutely be of no use. This is the Principle. The Divine Principle; it is the Principle. So, how far is this from where you are right now? (96-282)

In order to do witnessing, you must be well versed in the Principle, must shed tears and be truly devoted. (20-345)

Wherever you go, whenever you are alone, you should pray. Always focus and... As you look through such eyes, then witness immediately to the person whom you should witness to, regardless of the environment or the present situation. It all fits in like clockwork. This is the road that you should walk. You can survive the world only when you become this kind of being. You can then become successful wherever you go. Even as you are walking in a city, you will notice and be able to judge immediately from the displays in front of stores, "I can make money by selling this and that product." Do you understand what that means? God is working with you. Do you understand clearly? A person who is a burden to humanity and God cannot liberate humanity and God; this is the truth. (128-173)

Among our members all over the world, there are many who had already met me in their dreams before they came to know me. We must have some of them here as well. When they met me after entering the Unification Church, they realized that they had already been connected to me, and had met me and were taught by me. This was possible because of the merit of their good ancestors, and not because of their own merit. You must understand that it was because of their ancestral merit. This type of phenomena will take place.

Therefore, when you go out witnessing for the first time, if you can maintain a devotional and prayerful heart, then you will get to know the direction you should pursue. Then you can lead your life in the direction that God has pointed you to, and you will learn that God is not someone who lives somewhere far away, but is the subject who presides over all the changes in your heart during your daily life. Accordingly, you should attempt to make contact with God in the sentimental environment of nature, and attend him as your father. (50-315)

You should pray with a pure heart. Suppose you are doing witnessing in a village. Then when you wake up at dawn and gaze at the village, you should feel that the village is like a dying child, your younger sister, and your own son and daughter. You should witness with the heart ready to cling to the village and wail through the night; just try this and see. If you cannot be successful in witnessing even after trying all this, then I will be responsible. (36-134)

Did you ever stay up all night in order to do witnessing? I stayed up numerous nights. They will ask you in your nation, how many nights you stayed up to do witnessing. You should try your very best to do witnessing. (10-252)

Try and see how much God will help when you exert yourself to the limit. If you do not witness to your relatives on the earth, then you will have no way to escape their accusations in the spirit world. (18-134)

Witnessing should be done like business. What I mean is that you should do it with efficacy. In the past, no matter where you went, you did not make much preparation, but now you should go with the full preparation. You should embody sincerity and devotion when you go around. Do you understand? You must be different from the past. (102-45)
