When you know the Will, you know it's infinitely high; when you know the Will, you'll be in the Royal Family lineage as children of heaven: then in what direction should you go? The time that you can live in the place where you can receive the Blessing has almost arrived, but if you can't handle the Blessing, then it will all be taken away from you and you will become a beggar. You should be at the point where you can receive the Blessing and not be at the point where you can have your Blessing taken away. You have to get into that range. I know that heaven can set up the foundation for the part which it trusts. You don't get Blessed right away after you join the Unification Church. There was a time when I also suffered having to ask others for food and was coldly turned away at the door. You knew the way Reverend Moon was going is true. You knew also that heaven is true, not false. Then you have to attend heaven truly. If you go to a hungry place, then starve like a hungry person; if you go to a place of death, then you should be more sorrowful and more eager than the patriots in the past. If you don't become a central person with that kind of heart, you cannot relate to the heavenly fortune. (13-203) Then comparing today's Unification Church people with Noah of the past, with Abraham, and John the Baptist, who is more blessed? Who is more blessed? You are more blessed. The time to be blessed has arrived. Look. John the Baptist, who grew up rich, ate locusts and honey. But did locusts come and jump into John the Baptist's mouth while he just sat still? He had to run around the fields to catch them. Think about it. Does that look respectable? When his mother, father, and relatives looked at him, wouldn't they have been at a loss for words? Think about it: how much would they have been at a loss for words? How much did he look in the crevices of rocks to get wild honey? Doesn't it sound great? Actually, if you look at what he was doing, he seems crazy. (57-305) You are more blessed than God or Jesus or Reverend Moon. What I did in my whole life, you can do in six months. If you don't oppose my directions, but say, "We, all the people in the Unification Church, like being Moonies," then it doesn't even take half a year. It doesn't even take half a year if you don't oppose but like the Unification Church. (102-194) Now the fact that you became a Unification Church member... If Reverend Moon's words are absolutely correct, should you think it is an honor to become a Unification Church member, or is it a hopeless thing? [It is an honor] (80-337)
