Selections on Home Church and the Kingdom of Heaven

“Home church is a great accomplishment and the pinnacle of the Divine Principle. After all the struggles of:’ the Old · testament, New Testament, and Completed ·testament, home church is the outcome, the ultimate fruit by which the Kingdom of God is going to be achieved. It is the ultimate fulfillment of love. I am telling you to be a teacher and one who loves. Truth and love are the two key words. Why do you go to home church? There are two reasons. First you will educate the people, but after education what would you like to gain? The purpose of education is to awaken them and bring them to the heavenly side. Education will give them birth. Once they see the vision they are no longer in darkness.

“Home church was the ideal of God in the Garden of Eden but it was broken into pieces after many thousands of years of difficulties and tribulations. Now finally in the 20th century I have opened the doors. All conditions have been fulfilled and the doors of home church are open for all mankind to enter. That is the history we are witnessing today.

“Your home church is one small world representing all mankind and the entire earth; it is a microcosm of the whole earth. Where you live or travel makes no difference; your home church is the place where you will become a child of the Messiah and enter the Kingdom. Even if you live in Korea and then come to America you will still have to make a home church. No matter where you may go on earth, you must do the home church mission. Even if you went to spirit world now you have to come down to finish that mission because without going through that gate you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

“There are no barriers between you and the home church mission, neither racial, national, spiritual or physical. Jesus gave the key to the Kingdom of Heaven to Peter, and today I give you the key to home church because that is the key to the Kingdom of Heaven. With one turn that key will open the door to salvation for one tribe.

“Today’s topic is the slogan for this year of 1980: Home Church is the Base of the Kingdom of Heaven. That is the destiny where true rest lies, where true happiness and joy lies, and even where true life lies. The person who lives and dies in home church is the person who is truly happy.

“I want you to know that in order to build the base of the Kingdom of Heaven eternally you must first build a base of the Kingdom of Heaven within yourself.

“I want you to know that the term ‘home church’ is a most precious one. Many, many saints, \,;semen, prophets and Christian martyrs have waited for the day of home church but they did not have the luxury of seeing it. They did not have anyone to set the highway straight by paying back all the necessary indemnity. There was no way home church could start before I came. Only because I have paid all the past debts can we now undertake home church. I want mu to know how precious the gift of home church is.”

“Do you have your Cain area? Are you Cain or Abel to your home church area? The fact that I have entrusted you with home church means I have approved you as an Abel. It’s up to you to work hard and pray. How nice it is when you can consult with one of your people when something needs to be done and see it through to the finish. After one or two years they will understand you much better and try to do this work with you. You never know when the result will come; as long as you work hard now then the result will definitely come. How beautiful it will be when the result comes unexpectedly. A millionaire who watches what you do over the years will conclude that you are far better than he is. Don’t you think he will feel that? Once he feels that way, he is bound to express it to other people.”

“Home church will only be difficult at the beginning. The first several steps will be difficult but try to cross over the point of persecution by comparing it with my energy at that particular point. When you go just one more step over that point everything will become easy. Can you do it? At the beginning you may wail, ‘Father, I just can’t do it.’ But as you continue, slowly everything will become easier. Don’t worry about trying to save face. Make a new hole and tighten your belt. Make up your mind, grit your teeth and step forward.”

“When you go to home church don’t try to get into someone’s living room right away. Go through the back door and then to the bathroom. Your first thought will be, ‘How can this be a bathroom in the heavenly kingdom? I cannot afford to leave it this dirty. Let me clean it.’ After the bathroom is clean and fresh you can come out and look at the hallway. You will say ‘I cannot afford to welcome Heavenly Father in this dirty hall. Let me clean it up.”

“The person living there will stride up to you and shout, ‘What kind of rascal are you? Why do you bother my bathroom?’ Then you will shout back, ‘What kind of rascal are you? This is my home. I’m trying to welcome Heavenly Father in this home and no one will stop me. I’m going to keep cleaning your house.”

“You can tell them, ‘Don’t you want to celebrate at least one of God’s birthdays in your home?’ The other person will be totally overcome and say, ‘Is it true? Can we have God in this house?’ You say, ‘All you have have to do is try me out free for one week. Whether God is coming in through the door or not, try me out for one week.’ This is a very effective way to make a sale in America, offer someone a free trial, and if they don’t like what you offer they can return it.”

“Home church is not a witnessing method. No, home church is our destiny, the final terminal and the fulfillment of the dispensation. Fallen man must walk this road; that is his destiny. More than a man is destined to marry a woman, fallen man is destined to finish the home church mission either on earth or in spirit world. Can you deny it? How can you erect the Kingdom of Heaven on earth other than by fulfilling the home church mission? This is not a dream or fantasy; this is the real blueprint from God. We have arrived at the final terminal. It is our great fortune to see this home church mission in our lifetime and install the pattern and tradition for history. You repeat the alphabet a thousand times a day in your conversation. In the same way, home church is the alphabet of the Kingdom of Heaven. It should become an intimate part of you. In home church you will find everything. In home church you can find God, Israel, Christianity, anything you want.’’
