Do we recognize our Heavenly Father’s loving guidance? (15)

During the period of preparation to achieve heartistic unity in the iUnificationist Meeting House, the theme of the internet was addressed in several articles – because it was important that the awareness among our worldwide membership is raised in this important area, including the importance of sharing with one another via this medium as a microcosm of a Unified worldwide Family.

Yulian Marianov posted several articles in February. He spoke about the Internet as “perfectly provided by God”, quoting True Father “To build the Kingdom of God I need to use the Internet technology.” Yulian stated: “Divine principle says that in the Last Days through technology God will make the world as One Big Family centered on God.”

This core task of becoming one worldwide family has to start amidst the members of the extended family of the True Parents of Humankind, e.g. in the relationship of the ones who gather in the iUnification Meeting House.

Accordingly the importance of this meeting place for Unificationists in the worldwide web was brought to the attention of its members, in articles like “iUnificationist meeting house - A Blessed page to the Unificationist and the World” by the previously mentioned African brother who wrote on February 9, 2011: “Here in iunificationist meeting house, as Moonie, we are freely expressing/sharing our Heart and Love. WOW ! I felt like, we are in the kingdom of heaven already now, on this earth, as we uplift and praise our God/True Parents with our growing, cheerful and beautiful hearts of love.

The only task remaining now is to expand our outreach activity and tell the whole world that we are in the age of Cheong Il Guk. AJU!”

In the message with the title, “Meeting House: a Heavenly garden of emerging true Fruits…” one sister offered a very valuable contribution: “Anyone is welcome, here at iUnificationist to share his/her adventures on their journey to embody true purpose of Creation. As Life of Faith can become Substantial as it is expressed, allowing God to manifest His numerous unique individual Truth Bodies, in each of us: allowing Him be His fountain-pens, His colour pencils, His oil or water brushes, colouring the canvas of our life with His emotions, His voices, His music, His dances, His coaching, His learning, His giving, His loving, His never ending passion…

It is a blessed place to begin to switch from knowers, talkers, or even checkers, to DOERS. It’s a place to discover oneself, as one reveals the Self to others. It’s a ‘house’ where meetings are desired encounters between siblings, loved all by the same True Parents, inspired to hear and listen to each other, free to speak of failures as well of successes. Understanding of the path to completion has always been its signature.

It’s a healthy home-base to breathe in and out as ever growing to healthier Unificationists. It’s a Heavenly Garden with beautiful and magnificent Heavenly fruits and doings! It is to be blessed to be welcomed here.”

In respect to the relationships among the members of this Meeting House a quite remarkable message appeared in January with the title: “In God’s true love, none is higher than the other!” because it addressed a core problem: “Two brothers, two M. …, one is Moïse, one is Maurice, went to Heaven. One was spiritually born at the right place, the right moment, to enjoy multitude opportunities to live his Faith rich with events…

The other was spiritually born in spiritual surroundings well established already, leading him to live as a guardian in our church owned business. One is now praised, if not celebrated, for all his achievements. The other is not. One enjoyed a beautiful blessed marriage. The other was betrayed, yet wore his cross. One is praised, and cheered up, and loved. The other is not. One ascended surrounded by his beloved ones. The other, his heart betrayed him in the middle of a street.

Two brothers went to Heaven, two M. … one is Moïse, one is Maurice. Will human view matches Heaven’s one? Will God love one, not the other? How to say to Heaven : I am sorry, Father, I failed to care and love that other son of Yours, who lived and died his life for You and True Parents. Sarang Hana-Nim Abogi, truly, sincerely, I beg you to do so, please, guide us to truly love!”

After a period of preparation from the side of Heaven the test and temptation arrived in front of the leadership and the members of this Meeting place concerning how they would apply the motto for this second year of the Heavenly Calendar.

On February 5, 2011 the webmaster of iUnificationist sent a post with the title “Hyung Jin Nim talk: “Holy Spirit is back in Unification Church, since 30 years of absence!” in which he said: “Self-Guilt and Self-righteousness are both result of lack of true repentance… Holy Spirit is back in Unification Church, since 30 years of absence! It has come back due to true spirit of Repentance. Jesus said, „In order to live, you must die‟. This means in order to be able to inherit the love of God, we must repent of our sin. We follow God’s commands because we love God, not because we fear him.

…In the past, if somebody made a mistake, he/she had to get out of the church and was not allowed to come back! …The difference between members, is not sinner and non sinner, but it is between repentant and non-repentant, grateful and non-grateful to the grace and forgiveness and love of God!… Repentance is taking the „spot-light‟off of yourself, and putting it on God and True Parents!”

Hyung Jin Nim testified that once we truly repent, our church can stop being „divisionists‟ (as we label each other most of the times) and become truly „Unificationists‟!

Hyung Jin nim, now wants to train leaders to conduct similar healing and repentance services throughout our church. His main instruction is that anyone that leads these services, must admit that he is a sinner himself/herself, and any healing that occurs as a result of this service, is not in any way due to his or her abilities, but due only to the power of Holy Spirit centering on True Parents.”

I mention this message here, because it is exactly the content of what the webmaster emphasized that stood at the center of the temptation that followed a few weeks later.

In response to this article one person commented: “In my 35 years following True Parents the holy spirit always came when we repented as a church community. Hyung Jin nim is simply telling us what True Parents, Heung Jin nim and Daemonim have been urging and doing all along. If our leaders lead the way in repentance our movement will surely be transformed and be victorious!”

One week later the encouragement “Unificationists love their Enemies” was sent to the community including the following message: “God’s relationship with the Jewish faith is based on the Law. God’s relationship with the Christian family is based on their faith. God’s relationship with Unificationists is based on our Love. The Jewish faith love God. The Christian family love Jesus. Unificationists love their Enemies.”

Sadly, 33 days after the above quoted emphasis was posted by the webmaster of the iUnificationist Meeting House the question, “How do we deal with those who represent a certain challenge for us?” was answered in respect to two subscribers with their presence being eliminated from the community.

In the course of Heaven encouraging the members of iUnificationist to have the right attitude the following excerpt from Father”s words was offered with the question “Is just being a member of Unification Church and trying to follow True Father enough?” as reference title: “The ideal of creation is the blueprint by which you will be evaluated. It is the ultimate test you have to pass. You wait and see. You may think that just being a member of the Unification Church and trying to follow me is enough. But it isn’t. Unless you measure up to the requirements of the ideal of creation, you will have no victory.”

In the ideal world, True Love is being shared naturally. As we are about to enter Cheon Il Guk, we have to make the final preparations – by showing that we are able to love one another unconditionally. This point is therefore tested the most.

Encouragement was also offered through the article by the brother that I quoted last, entitled: “Father has given us everything”. In this time of the children‟s course it is indeed up to each one of us to show that we are mature and grown up people who have learnt to love with a Heavenly Heart, just as our True Father and True Mother are doing.

Our Heavenly Father has been working through many different brothers and sisters who offered contributions that were related to this internal purpose, including brother Nikolaus who sent 8 articles that are connected to this task between February 21, and March 10, 2011. I write here about me in the third person because it is important to look at the overall situation from the viewpoint that God is using various brothers and sisters to reach out through them to the community. Actually, every one of us is called to be a channel for our Heavenly Parent to express certain aspects of His Heart or concerns that need to be addressed.

On February 20, 2011 a moving contribution was offered in the form of an invitation to watch the video “A Mother’s Letter” where one can hear the mother say: “I feel invisible to you, I can‟t get close to you…” and underneath the film frame a quote by Agatha Christie: “A mother’s love for her child is like

nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”

The person who posted this link shared: “Watching this short film it just again came to my mind, how people lost their connection to God. I do mean the real, living partner, who is in me, you, each and every one of us, and we are supposed to live in and with and by Him.

When we are hopeless we have no place to have Heavenly Father in us. When we rejoice without sharing it with Him, we steal the life, the breath from Him. When we deny, and our intellect overcomes our shimjung we fail to live, we die.

Among the zombies, the living dead bodies, who we are without True Parents, Heavenly Father ceaselessly searches even the tiniest life-signals to resurrect us. Our hearts started to beat by Him. We had Him. And now, we just kill Him and True Parents through our own agony, day by day. This must be stopped.

This is who we are: the Reborn. Thus, let us live, and let God and True Parents live in us, and dwell all around.”

Yes, we are supposed to be truly reborn children of God, but in reality many are close to the inner state to which this person refers in her comment. Let us therefore make sure that we leave such a realm of being separated from our Heavenly Father behind in order to allow Him to embrace us with His unending Love.
