God wants to work alive in His people. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]

Now, let's examine the fact through the Bible that God wants to always dwell in us, which is the last and third characteristic of God.

Gal 2:20 『I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.』

Heb 13:5-9 『. . . because God has said,"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence,"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" . . . 』

God has repeatedly said that He will always be with us. So Paul, when he received Jesus, crucified himself and faithfully carried out the work God wanted to do while having God in him. When he looked back upon his life, he was confident that since he had fulfilled the mission given to him, there was in store for him the crown of righteousness, and gave us hope by saying that this crown of life would be awarded not only to him, but also to all who longed for the day of God's coming.

We must realize God who has come to this earth in the flesh and also understand God's desired will, so that we can work with God and express God's love while always having God in us. Now let us think again how much we know about God and how much we understand the heart of God. If we have known God, we should lead many souls to the way of salvation by putting God's desired will into practice instead of just being satisfied with knowing.

When we consider the fact that 3,000 people repented in just one day through the preaching of Peter, we cannot help but reflect on how fully we have contained God in our minds and preached the gospel. Let us quickly preach the Spirit and the Bride, who have come to this earth as our Saviors, to all people. Some may reject the Spirit and the Bride without realizing Them, but those who understand Them will receive the right to become children of God and reach the eternal kingdom of heaven.

We can do everything by the power of God, not by our own ability. Let us all wake up and try our hardest to make this year a wonderful year for the gospel by working with God. I repeatedly ask you all to fill each and every day of your life with beautiful and gracious moments, so that you can confidently say that you have lived a life without regrets, preaching the gospel, like Paul.

The heavenly inheritance is given through Mother. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

The history of Abraham's family shows through whom we can become God's children and inherit the kingdom of God. God has made those who are like Isaac children of promise and allowed them the blessing of eternal life. As Isaac was designated as Abraham's heir through his mother, so we can become God's heirs through our Mother and enjoy the precious blessing of eternal life.

Those who do not know Jerusalem our Mother can never become children of promise like Isaac. God said, "A son coming from your own body will be your heir." Ishmael was the first begotten son of Abraham, who was 14 years older than Isaac. Nevertheless, why didn't God accept Ishmael as Abraham's heir? Ishmael represents those who know God only as Father. However, the Bible clearly shows that there is God the Mother as well.

God has determined not to give the heavenly inheritance to those who have no part with Him. He doesn't accept the people, who believe in God the Father but do not believe in God the Mother, as His heirs. It is Mother who holds the final key. Everything on this earth is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. If we think about why God lets the physical life be given through a mother, we can understand what the divine will is.

Surely there is a reason why God establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. The history of Abraham's family shows how much Mother has suffered until She is glorified. However, it expresses just a little bit of Her suffering. Until we've received eternal life promised by God, there's been the great sacrifice of Mother, who has suffered so much for 6,000 years in order to lead Her children to heaven. Mother grants us, Her children, eternal life through Her invisible, inexpressible pains. That's why God does not rest until He makes Mother the praise of the earth. The Bible describes the scene that God's children, who have received Jerusalem Mother, nurse and are satisfied at Her comforting breasts, delighting in Her overflowing abundance, like a child.

Heavenly children born again to have the mind of Mother [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]

A mother is an elder in a family, but she always works like a servant. If her children soil their clothes, she washes their clothes by herself. She cleans up the room which their children have messed up, and she also cooks food for them. If her children are sick, she also nurses them all by herself. Even though she is in a much higher position and deserves to be served by her children, she only does lowly and tough work like a servant, taking care of her children.

No matter how hungry she is, she tries to feed her hungry children first.
According to rank, she deserves to eat first and then she may give her children anything left to eat. However, she never does so. She is not authoritative and does not want to be served, but rather she always yields to the lowly. It is a mother who endures the most for her children.

‘Would a mother not breast-feed her hungry child? Would a mother hate her child and hurt him or her? Would a mother rest comfortably even after losing her child?' If we think about the mind of a mother carefully, we can find out what we must do. When we have the mind of a mother, we are able to obey every teaching of God described in the Bible.

God our Father has made us realize Heavenly Mother, the new Jerusalem, and let us be guided by Mother. She personally sets us an example of how to love, instructs us in everything, prays for us Her children from early in the morning even when we are unaware of it, solves the problems of so many members all around the world, and comforts them. Seeing what Mother is doing, we should also have the same mind as God our Mother.

If we have the mind of Mother, we must be able to do what Mother is doing and care for the members whom Mother is taking care of. I hope that by doing so, each and every soul will grow graciously in Zion and all the members in Zion will enter the eternal kingdom of heaven by welcoming Father without lacking anything, without any regrets, when He comes back.

When Jesus was taken up into heaven on the 40th day after His resurrection, He asked Peter three times, "Do you love me?" Then He told Peter repeatedly, even three times, "Feed my sheep and take care of them." It is the duty of all who love God to take care of God's people. Taking care of them and feeding them spiritual food with the mind of Mother?this is our basic duty as those who have received the truth earlier.

The fruit of the Holy Spirit produced with the mind of Mother When we fully arm ourselves with the mind of God our Mother, we can easily achieve the Ten Talent Mission. If we find it hard to accomplish the mission, it is because our minds have not yet been changed. We cannot do anything if we try to do it by ourselves with our own minds.

Suppose that a mother has a missing child. The mother will be anxiously looking for her lost child, even forgetting to sleep and take a rest. There is nothing more urgent than finding her lost child. We need to examine ourselves to see if we are preaching the gospel with the earnest mind of Mother. Unless we have the same kind of earnestness in mind as Mother, it is so hard to find a soul.

Those who have the mind of Mother bear much fruit even though they are not fluent in speaking and are lacking in knowledge of the Bible. Here is a convincing example: The long-term and short-term overseas mission teams are leading so many souls to God. This shows that the gospel does not depend on our ability but the key factor is whose mind we have. Although the mission teams are not good at speaking the local languages in difficult and unfamiliar environments, people are curious about them, thinking, ‘What are they preaching so eagerly?' Then they follow them to Zion and receive the truth.

It is the same with the gospel in our country. If we preach the gospel with the mind of Mother, wherever we are, it blooms and bears fruit. When we have the heart of God our Mother, we can be like the five wise virgins waiting for the bridegroom with enough oil for their lamps and can be worthy to wait for the kingdom of heaven.

On the traditional Korean holidays, many people visit their hometowns with great anticipation to see their parents and siblings. At the end of this waiting time, there will also surely be the day when we go back to our eternal heavenly home. As parents are eagerly looking forward to seeing their children, so our Elohim are earnestly waiting for us, Their children, to change beautifully and to return to our heavenly home.

Are you not curious about what kind of place the river of the water of life is, what angels look like, and what the kingdom of God looks like? Looking forward to the overwhelming joy in heaven, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him," let us get rid of all our evil habits and wicked personalities and always have Christ within us, so that none of us will fall behind but all will reach the kingdom of heaven. I earnestly hope that you will treat people around you with the mind of Mother in your home, church and community and lead many of them into the loving arms of God as great prophets.

The kingdom of heaven is for those who are thankful. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]

The reason why we should be filled with thankfulness every day is because the kingdom of heaven we are going to be a place overflowing with praise and thanksgiving. Those who complain can never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Rev 4:8-9 『Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, . . .』

Rev 7:11-12 『All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"』

In heaven, all the spiritual beings including angels always give glory, honor and thanks to God.
Thanks belong to God. So God's children, who participate in the "divine nature," must give thanks to God in all situations or circumstances.

Everyone has their own cross as Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, he must take up his cross and follow me" (Mt 16:24). Since the crosses we take up are our shortcomings and obstacles to going to heaven, God refines us through such hardships, and is re-creating us into the heavenly people, the perfect beings, today, too.

God lavishly gives us the gifts of heaven, which we need the most as heavenly citizens (Php 3:20). Realizing that everything is a gift which God gives us to lead us to the kingdom of heaven, let us be joyful and thankful all the time. Rather than just continuously receiving a gift from God, let us also give a good gift to God our Father and God our Mother. I hope that all of you will live a life of faith, overflowing with thanksgiving, and bear at least ten fruits, so that you can offer your gifts to God and receive God's abundant blessings.

Difference between those who suffer disasters and those who receive salvation. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother, WMSCOG ]

Each of us is a temple of the Holy Spirit where God dwells. So, we must be a temple that always serves and glorifies God, not a temple that refuses and rejects God. If God leaves us, grumbling and complaining arises and we fall into the trap of arrogance, thinking that everything is accomplished by ourselves, not by God.

Jer 13:15-17 "Hear and pay attention, do not be arrogant, for the LORD has spoken. Give glory to the LORD your God before he brings the darkness, before your feet stumble on the darkening hills. You hope for light, but he will turn it to thick darkness and change it to deep gloom. But if you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly, overflowing with tears, because the LORD's flock will be taken captive."

Giving glory to God always should be our habit and our life itself. If we have the foolish thought that 'nothing can be done without me' or 'I did it myself,' the Spirit of God can never dwell in us.

All things evil, things we do not want, occur when we do not give glory to God. God fulfills every single promise in the Bible without fail. If an insufficient result is produced right now, we need to examine ourselves carefully, rather than find out the reason from God.

Rev 16:8-9 "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him."

Those who do not give glory to God are doomed to eventually suffer disasters. Even when they suffer disasters, there is still the opportunity for them to repent of their sins and give glory to God, but they continue to blaspheme the glory of God until the last moment and bring destruction upon themselves. On the contrary, God's children receive blessings from God. John saw in revelation the children of God giving glory to Him. Let's take a look at that scene in Revelation .

Rev 19:1-10 "After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, . . ." The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: "Amen, Hallelujah!" . . . Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. . . ." Then the angel said to me, "Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

Through the above verses, we can fully understand what kind of faith the people in heaven, where we are going, possess. The spiritual beings in heaven and the people who have come to the wedding banquet of the Lamb are all giving glory to God. The angel, who showed John the vision, also taught them to worship God only. This is a teaching in the heavenly world.

Since angels have already understood it, how can those who do not give glory to God be a "royal priesthood" (Heb 2:9) with authority over the angels? We need to think about what kind of faith we have now and what result it will bring about, and should be thankful in all circumstances and give praise and glory to God forever.

Witnesses who testify to Elohim [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

People in the world do not yet know Elohim our Father and Mother correctly. Unless we testify to Elohim, they will not be able to know the Bible or the power of God and will remain shrouded in misunderstanding and distrust (Mt 22:29).

There are not only God the Father but also God the Mother (Mt 6:9; Gal 4:26). We can be saved only when we believe in God the Father and God the Mother as well, who gave birth to our souls (Ge 1:26-27; Rev 22:17). Just in the Old Testament, to say nothing of the New Testament, we can find over 2,500 records about Elohim. Since the Bible testifies to Elohim not only in a few places but in over 2,500 places, how can it be a forced interpretation?

We, who know all this fact well, must testify to Elohim clearly and boldly. The truth we have is absolute and perfect. If we just preach, everybody will listen to us. Now the kingdom of heaven is very near, and the time has come when many people open their minds and repent if we preach the word of God. The Bible backs up all our testimonies, and God always renews our strength through the Holy Spirit.

2 Ti 4:1-5 『In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage?with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.』

The work of an evangelist which God has entrusted to us is the duty of a witness. Giving us this important duty, God told us to perform the duty, being prepared in season and out of season. As true witnesses, we should testify to God the Father and God the Mother as well and should also let people know about the commandments that God the Father and God the Mother have given us for the salvation of all mankind. If we do that, Elohim will fill us with Their overflowing grace and blessings every day.

We must carry out the mission of God's witnesses not only in our own country but also in all other countries of the world in Asia, Africa, Oceania, South America, North America, and Europe. Let us all perform our mission as God's witnesses faithfully, so that each and every one of us can bear ten fruits. If you want more, please ask Father and Mother for more blessings and achieve the blessings of a hundred talents and even a thousand talents. Since Elohim said, "Be My witnesses in Samaria and to the ends of the earth," let us fulfill the mission of God's witnesses by diligently preaching God the Father and God the Mother.

Let us become the protagonists of the last prophecy. [Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

Jesus has taught us that every prophecy of the Bible is to be fulfilled without fail. Keeping the teaching of Jesus in mind, we should joyfully carry out the work of leading many people to righteousness, so that we can share in God's glory and shine like the stars for ever and ever, according to the prophecy for us in this age.

Lk 24:44-47?『He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." . . . and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.』

As Jesus prophesied, "Repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem," all people around the world are now streaming to Korea?the land of prophecy in the east where Heavenly Mother dwells?to receive the forgiveness of sins and the blessing of life from Heavenly Mother, the new Jerusalem. What do you think is the reason why all these things are now occurring before our very eyes? It is God's mighty work of prophecy, and who can hinder it?

In this prophetic age, God has called us to be the protagonists of the prophecy and said,

 "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Mt 28:18-20).

We have now come to Zion, the city of truth, where there is the new covenant which Jesus declared and the apostles preached. Since Elohim are with us here in Zion, the light of the gospel will spread quickly to Samaria and to the ends of the earth (Heb 12:22-24; Isa 33:20-24).

Those who live in accordance with the prophecies will surely enter into the glory of God. Believing in every prophecy of the Bible firmly, let us live according to the prophecy. God has appointed us as the protagonists of the prophecy. Without despising this glorious blessing, let us shine the light of the glory of Elohim brightly all over the world.

He who does the will of God will enter the kingdom of heaven. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]

We must not neglect our great salvation. No matter how our enemy the devil tries to corrupt our souls, none of us should foolishly throw away the most precious treasure that we have bought by investing everything we have, as Esau did.
Esau didn't realize how precious the birthright blessing was. So, when the person who knew its value asked him for it, he thoughtlessly surrendered it to him. Later, Esau realized its value and regretted bitterly what he had done, but the blessing given to Jacob was irretrievable (Gen 25:29-34; 27:1-40; Heb 12:16-17).

How can we sell our birthright for something so trivial-for a bowl of stew to satisfy our temporary physical hunger? Who can endure the thought of losing the right to enter the beautiful and glorious kingdom of God?
The value of salvation given to us is so great and precious that it can't be replaced with anything else in the world. That's why the person who finds the treasure puts his time and efforts into obtaining it. So the Bible says that the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it (Matt 11:12).
In order to enter the kingdom of God, we should always pay attention to God's word and carry out His will.

Matt 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

There are many wills of God recorded in the Bible. It is God's will that we should keep His commandments, laws and decrees. It is also God's will for us to have a disposition and faith worthy of God's people. Above all, there is an important teaching from God, which we should practice in order to enter the glorious kingdom of God.

1 Thess 5:15-18 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

In the parable, the man who found the treasure hidden in the field was filled with joy. If anyone has found the kingdom of heaven and bought it by investing his entire youth and life, he is the person who has gained the greatest joy.
God's children are to live in joy every day because they have received the promise of the heavenly inheritance. Since the kingdom of God is ours, we should always be joyful; God has freely given us His kingdom, so we ought to give thanks in all circumstances and hope for heaven. We are going to the kingdom of heaven. Nevertheless, if we do not feel joyful or thankful, we are not worthy of going to the kingdom of God.

If a man has regularly deposited money into a savings account for a long time and he is expected to receive a large amount of money after one month, his heart will start to beat in anticipation. The kingdom of God cannot be compared to anything like that. This precious heavenly kingdom draws nearer day by day. How can we not be joyful and thankful?
We, people of Zion, need to cultivate our faith beautifully, so that we will be able to receive God's blessings abundantly and meet God in glory when He comes. As an insurance or deposit has its due date, it takes us some time to receive the promised blessing. If we look forward to the day and wait, it will surely be given to us.

The day will be a day of fear to those who have invested nothing for the kingdom of heaven. It depends on us whether we will make the day a day of fear or a day of delight and anticipation. In obedience to the will of Father and Mother, we shall diligently find our lost brothers and sisters, pray continually and study God's word earnestly, so that we will be able to meet God with joy no matter when He comes.

Sing praise to God every day [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]

We, who are in Zion, are blessed ones in God''s hands. We should continuously give thanks to God for using us as a mighty baton in His hand to conduct the whole universe. And we should praise God the mighty Creator who made the universe and everything in it and saved us by His grace. God is worthy to receive our praise and glory for ever and ever; for He created and prepared everything for us.

Eph 1:3-6 『Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will?to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.』

Thus, the apostles understood the grace of God, and they constantly gave thanks and praise to Him and preached the gospel, full of joy. This is the faith of the Early Church that we are to learn today.

I believe all our brothers and sisters in Zion practice the words, "Be joyful always." It is God Himself who gives us the gift of joy. Remembering that, we shall keep on smiling and praise God every day. If we thus always smile and praise God, we will deeply understand the providence of God who gives us joy and happiness, and He will not regret having saved us but be completely satisfied in us. Let us commit everything to God and submit ourselves under His hand, preaching the gospel to the whole world as ministers of the new covenant.

God's promise of eternal life, in the kingdom of heaven. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

Just as the dragonfly nymphs could hardly understand the existence of that other world until it was transformed into a dragonfly, so can we hardly believe and acknowledge what we've not experienced in this earth. We often fail to understand Jesus' teachings on heaven and hell.
The Bible describes the transformation we will undergo to enter heaven.

1 Co 15:50-54 "I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. ..."

"The mortal must clothe itself with immortality." This shows that we shall be changed into immortal beings. Therefore, we need to deeply study what the Bible says about eternal life which God has promised us.

Jn 6:53-54 "Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

How can we eat Jesus' flesh and drink His blood then?

Mt 26:17-28 "On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" ... So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.... While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."

God sealed the Passover bread with Jesus' flesh and the Passover wine with His blood. He promised eternal life to those celebrating the Passover.
When will the people, who have become one with Christ by eating the Passover bread and drinking the Passover wine, be transformed into glorious beings? It is at the last day when the Christ comes down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call. On that day, we will all be changed in a flash; our bodies will be like Jesus' glorious body (1 Th 4:13-18).

We are blessed, for we have received all God's promises described in the Bible. Imagine the moment when we will be changed in a flash, putting on the glorious robe, the angelic robe. Though we now live in this visible world like the dragonfly nymphs, we will soon live in a world of unimaginable beauty, the kingdom of heaven, as newly-changed beings, as the glorious ones.
Let's find out who has taught us the way of life, the Passover, so that we can be born again into a new world.

1 Ti 6:15-16 "which God will bring about in his own time-God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal ..."

It is only God who can change our mortal bodies into immortal ones. For He alone is immortal. Nobody knows the way of eternal life except God. Only God Himself can tell us the way.
God Himself has taught us the truth of the Passover and given us eternal life to lead us into the spiritual world, the kingdom of heaven. Let's cling not to this visible world but to the spiritual world where we are going, preparing ourselves to go there. Glory and praise be to the Spirit and the Bride for ever and ever, who have taught us the truth of eternal life so that we may look forward to entering the kingdom of heaven, our eternal home.

 

Set a true goal in life , go for our real life [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]

It is important to live faithfully and diligently on this earth, but we should first have a true goal, realizing why we need to live such a faithful life. Life without a goal is meaningless. However, most people set goals in life only for things that are right in front of them, and they live their lives blindly without finding any answers to life. Many people are trying to pursue wealth and glory of the world for themselves or for their family, but unfortunately their efforts mostly end up in vain. Wealth or glory cannot be a true goal in life.

Even Alexander the Great, who is called a hero in the world, could give no other answer than "death" when he was asked what he would do after conquering everything. What about us? An even more meaningful world is waiting for us. So we must not set goals only for making a living on this earth, but for the eternal kingdom of heaven. The reason why God came to this earth is also for the salvation of human beings, and God says that saving a soul is saving the world. Let us live a truly meaningful and blessed life by leading many souls to salvation, starting with our family and neighbors. And let us please and glorify Father and Mother by bearing abundant good fruit while setting a good example for others by living our lives faithfully on this earth as well.

Elohim, who have all authority in heaven and on earth, have given us the authority to decide the future of mankind and commanded us to go. They have also given us courage by saying, "Do not be afraid; I am with you and will help you always." There are still many nations and peoples that have not heard the gospel of God yet. Let us all preach the gospel to them, so that the glorious day can quickly come when all human beings will be saved. Keeping in mind again the mission given to us in this age, let us preach the glory of the New Jerusalem to the whole world as children of Elohim, so that all mankind will be saved in the arms of Heavenly Mother and enter the eternal kingdom of heaven together.

The kingdom of heaven is given to the person who thinks, 'I can do' [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

The gospel can advance when there are many who think, 'I can do.' What happened to the Israelites in the desert is an example for us today. Considering the history, it is clear that those with the positive thought-'I can do'-will ultimately enter the eternal kingdom of heaven.

Now, let's dismiss the negative thought, 'We can't do,' or 'It is impossible for our church or group to do it.' The thought-'I can't do'-makes us shrink back and plunges us into destruction. Let's forcefully advance with the thought-'I can do,' depending on God, like Joshua and Caleb.

Those who think, 'I can do,' achieve their goal if there is a 1 percent possibility. However, those who think, 'I can't do,' are unable to accomplish it even though there is a 99 percent possibility. So God said, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move" (Mt 17:20).

If we believe that we can do, depending on God, nothing is impossible for us. Let's change our thought from now on. If we have the same faith as Joshua and Caleb, Babylon will be fallen soon, as was Jericho. Though Jericho seemed impregnable, it fell like piles of sand before God-it was blown away like chaff and perished as nothing.

Babylon appears powerful now, but it will be as nothing and consumed like stubble before our Almighty God. With great boldness and strong faith, let's forcefully advance the kingdom of heaven.

Isa 14:24 The LORD Almighty has sworn, "Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand."

God spoke through prophecy that everything would be accomplished. To us, who believe in God, the Bible gives this passage: 'I can do everything through him who gives me strength.' Remember the words of Jesus, "According to your faith will it be done to you." Have a firm faith and resolution to fill the heavenly barn with good fruit that pleases our heavenly Father and Mother.

The world belongs to those who think that they can do. Likewise, the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who have positive thinking and faith. Those who think, 'I can't do,' may just occupy their own sitting room. However, those who think, ''I can do,' will take the whole universe and become a royal priesthood in heaven, ruling over the galactic system (1 Pe 2:9).

Dear brothers and sisters, let's do the gospel work with strong and affirmative faith-'I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.' Do not think in a negative way-'I'm not capable of preaching,' but in a positive manner-'Everything is possible because God is with me; if I fail to do it, there must be something wrong with myself.' I hope all of you will accomplish everything by doing it with faith.
The kingdom of heaven is forcefully being advanced even at this moment. Let's leave our mark on it. Let us all forcefully advance the kingdom of heaven and enter it with joy, meeting our Father with abundant fruit when He comes.

Heavenly Mother whom the Bible testifies about. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

 

The existence of our heavenly Mother is already recorded in Genesis. Let's look back to the time when our heavenly Mother did the work of creation together with our heavenly Father.

Gen 1:26-28 "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. ..."

When God created man in His own image, male and female were created in the image of God. This suggests that there are two images of God: male and female. That's why God said when creating man, "Let us make man ...," instead of saying, "I will make man..."

Even before the creation of the world, both images of God already existed: the male image of God and the female image of God. Therefore, those who have received only God the Father cannot be God's heirs. Although they live together in Abraham's family and call him Lord or Father, they cannot inherit his estate, just as Eliezer and Ishmael, who were not children of Sarah, didn't inherit Abraham's property.

If we just call out to God without knowing Him correctly, we cannot communicate with God. We can worship God rightly when we know Him. Keeping the will of God in mind, we should quickly proclaim Jerusalem our Mother, who is life, to all the nations of the world. As the eternal kingdom of God is close at hand, we will bear more good fruit if we fully proclaim the glory of Jerusalem our Mother. God's prophecy must surely be fulfilled if we believe in it and put it into practice.

God the Father and God the Mother, our gracious Counselor [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

God is the most gracious counselor to us. God gives joy and courage to His children who talk to Him and also give whatever we ask for.

The Bible describes God as the 'Counselor' who counsels and helps us in all our troubles. As our Counselor, God provides us with a solution for every problem we face, small or great.

Solomon enjoyed talking to God. As a result, he gained wisdom and made his kingdom strong; and as a bonus, he received riches and honor, too. On the contrary, the kings of Israel who had no conversation with God did evil against Him. The absence of conversation with God, who is love, caused them to be tempted by evil spirits and manifest their evil tempers, which led to violence.

Let us fulfill the world mission through lots of conversations with God this year. In our continual conversation with God, we shall understand and follow the will of our heavenly Father and Mother.

Eph 6:10-19 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. ... Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests....

Though we put on the whole armor of the Holy Spirit, we can do nothing without prayer. In order to fully activate the power of the Holy Spirit within us, we should have an ongoing conversation with God.

Through conversations with God, we will be able to witness a miracle like the parting of the Red Sea. Let's diligently seek, knock and ask, so that we can preach the gospel to the ends of the earth. As heavenly children, we should have frequent conversation with God, seeking to develop a righteous character. Then God will allow us to bear much good fruit and save the whole world.

World Mission Society Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) believes Ahnsahnghong as our Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit with the belief in Heavenly Mother.  According to the Bible, God the Father and God the Mother who are the Spirit and the bride are to give us the water of life in this last age of the Holy Spirit.  In order to receive the water of life in this age, we should come toward God the Father and God the Mother.

The grace of God who has atoned for our sin leading to death. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

There is a law in heaven, too. To forgive our sin, without breaking the heavenly law, our heavenly Father and Mother have become the sin offering for us. Only death could expiate our sin, so our heavenly Parents paid the penalty that we deserved for our sin, in our stead, enduring all kinds of sufferings.

Isa 53:1-6 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? . . . Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

We've been redeemed from sin at a great price; our Father died in our place for our sins, and our Mother suffered in our stead. Since our Father and Mother have taken up all our iniquities, we've been able to be saved.
God established the law of the Passover so that His children might not forget His death, and let them eat His flesh and drink His blood through the Passover.

John 6:53-57 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. . . . so the one who feeds on me will live because of me."

Matt 26:17-19, 26-28 ". . . So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. . . . While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."

In the Passover is contained the love of God who gave His body as a ransom to save us, the condemned prisoners who were destined for death. The Passover also contains God's earnest command not to forget His love and not to fall into sin again.

For a convict on death row, there can be no greater joy than to hear the news that he will be forgiven for his sin and his life will be saved. When the Passover comes every year, we just rejoice in having received eternal life, eating bread and wine. In reality, we are the most unfilial of all in the universe because we've gained life by eating our Parents' flesh and drinking Their blood. However, our Father and Mother were pleased just with the fact that Their children repented and were not involved in the same sin again (see Isa 53:10-11).

When we eat the Passover bread, we have to remember that our Parents gave Their precious body and blood for us to eat in order to save us. When we drink the Passover wine, we have to remember that our sin was so great that it couldn't be forgiven without the precious blood of our Parents, and we should give thanks to Them for Their sacrifice. When we do this, we can be said to have truly realized the truth of the new covenant.

Salvation is for the people of Zion who celebrate the feasts. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

God has established Zion the city of the appointed feasts and brought us into Zion. We are to offer up to our heavenly Father and Mother the sacrifice of joy, thanksgiving and praise every day.

Isa 33:20-24 Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken. There the LORD will be our Mighty One. It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams. No galley with oars will ride them, no mighty ship will sail them. For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us. ...No one living in Zion will say, "I am ill"; and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.

God forgives the sins of those who dwell in Zion, the place where they celebrate their religious festivals, and saves them. Salvation is given only to the people who keep the feasts. So God says that He will gather those who grieve about the appointed feasts and give them praise and honor among all the peoples of the earth. And He also says that those who celebrate the feasts will escape disasters but those who don't keep the feasts will suffer them.

God says that salvation comes out of Zion, the city of the appointed feasts. But the devil deceives people by saying that they don't have to keep the feasts or if they keep them they cannot be saved. We must not be deceived by such nonsense. Everything taught against God's word is nothing but a deceitful lie of the devil. God tells us to watch out for false prophets, saying that by their fruit we will recognize them (Mt 7:15-20). By their deeds against God's word, we should recognize their identity.
Let's confirm whether or not the people, who celebrate the feasts, can escape all disasters and be saved at God's appointed time.

Rev 14:1-4 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. ...And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.

In Zion the city of the appointed feasts are the 144,000 redeemed from the earth. In vision, the Apostle John saw the people with God in the place of the appointed feasts, rejoicing in their joy at deliverance. Salvation cannot come out of the place where there is no feast of God. Many believe that they can receive blessing and salvation even in a place without the feasts, because they lack knowledge of the Bible. However, there is no promise of heaven in such a place; what waits for them is only a curse, the punishment of hell. We are to worship God in spirit and truth only in Zion the place of God's appointed feasts, fully understanding the value of the salvation which God has granted to us.

Before long, those who celebrate the feasts of God will share in the glorious salvation, freely traveling into the universe. Let's preach this good news of salvation to all people around the world, so that they can also go to such a spacious and beautiful world together. They desire to travel to the moon one time even by spending a great deal of money-over one million dollars. Let them know that there is a free ticket not only to the moon but also to other planets such as Mars, Venus and the Bear.
We are sure of our salvation because we dwell in the spiritual Zion, the city of God's appointed feasts. Giving thanks and praise to God for giving us the feasts and the promise of eternal glory, we shall joyfully obey the good will of God.

Victory given through Mother's sacrifice and love [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

Thus, we are growing in the love of Mother who lavishly sacrifices everything to save us, Her children. That's why we, the offspring of the woman, can win the spiritual war against Satan in the end.

Ge 3:15 『"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."』

God said that He would put enmity between the serpent and the woman. The woman is described as the "mother of all the living" (Ge 3:20). The woman (Mother) and the serpent (Satan) are enemies to each other. The offspring of the woman and the offspring of the serpent are also enemies to each other.
The devil our enemy sets all sorts of traps and snares in order to tempt us to disobey the holy will of our heavenly Mother. He devises many schemes to make us waste our time on earthly things that are meaningless and transient.
In order to resist the temptations of Satan and to win victory over him, we absolutely need to make efforts to obey Jerusalem Mother and put Her words into practice, with love for Her. Heavenly Mother is working even at this moment, sparing no pains, for us Her children. How about us? What are we doing now? Are we not absorbed in things for physical comfort and pleasure and wasting our time on such worthless things? Or, are we trying to save souls while giving and sharing, along with Mother? We need to reflect on ourselves.

Rev 12:9 『The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.』

Rev 12:17 『Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring-those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.』

The great dragon was hurled down, and the identity of the dragon was discovered to be the serpent in the Garden of Eden. The serpent was expelled from heaven, and is opposing the woman on this earth.
In the Bible, the dragon or the serpent refers to Satan the devil. Satan was enraged at God the Mother and went off to make war against the rest of Her offspring-those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus. Although Satan is reigning over numerous people like the sand of the sea, he is destined to lose every war.

Rev 20:7-10 『When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth-Gog and Magog-to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.』

The spiritual warfare between the serpent and the woman-between the offspring of the serpent and the offspring of the woman-is to end with the punishment of the dragon in an unquenchable fire where he will be tormented forever and ever.
Satan can never triumph over Mother. Since Mother has "love" the greatest power, how can Satan win?
The power that enables God's children to be victorious is the endless love of Mother who protects Her children, even at the risk of Her own life. So, those who love Jerusalem display Her glory wherever they are, and proclaim Her holy sacrifice and love to the ends of the earth.
