The mission entrusted to God's called ones. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]


Mt 4:17-22『From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.』

Jesus called His disciples to entrust them with the future of mankind and let them carry out the mission of the apostles. It was not only Peter, Andrew, James and John who were entrusted with the future of mankind. God has entrusted the mission of the last prophets to us, who are living in the age of the Holy Spirit when the fate of human beings will finally be decided.

Mt 28:18-20『Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore 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. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."』

"Preaching the truth of life and the good news about Mother the New Jerusalem" is not just to convey knowledge to people, but to let them know about the practical issues which are directly related to the future of their own soul and the future of all mankind as well.

There are three types of work in this world: the work we must do, the work we may or may not do, and the work we must not do. Preaching the gospel is the work that those who are called and sent by God must do, and it is the greatest mission in the world.

When God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell them to repent, he felt afraid at first but he finally carried out the mission and saved many people in the city of Nineveh, so their future could be bright (Jnh 3:1-10). In this age, we are preaching the gospel to Samaria and to the ends of the earth; we are carrying out the same kind of mission as Jonah's.

We are entrusted not only with the mission of preaching but also with the fate of the world. Since this great mission is put into our hands, the future of humankind will be bleak if we remain silent, but it will be bright with the light of God's glory if we display the glory of Father and Mother and shout it out loud. We should ask God for the blessings and power of the Holy Spirit every day so that the gospel will be preached to all countries and regions of the world.

The most important thing in the world. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]


Saving the one who is in front of me right now, whoever the person is, is the most important thing in the world. If we give love and kindness to the one who is in front of me now?the most important person to me?and lead him or her to salvation and fill his or her heart with an eternal hope for heaven, there is no greater and more beautiful love than this in the world.

To put it plainly, it is "preaching"?the task of saving the souls, who are dying due to sin, through God's words of life. To seek and save the lost, God, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords, came to this earth.

Now we have been entrusted with the most important task which the Most Holy One did when He came to this earth. Not everyone has been given this precious task; God has entrusted it only to those whom He approves and loves (1 Th 2:4).

Though it may be difficult to save one soul by giving God's love to him, it is the most valuable thing. So Apostle Paul considered it to be the noblest thing and said he was in chains for that work (Phil 3:8; Eph 6:20). Like him, we should put our hearts and minds into the work of saving mankind which our Father and Mother have been doing, so They will be greatly pleased.

2 Ti 4:1-8, 17-18『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 . . . But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day?and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing . . . But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it . . .』

To be prepared in season and out of season means to do it right now. The Bible teaches that now is the most suitable time and we should always do the work of an evangelist and discharge all the duties of our ministry. This is the most meaningful and worthwhile work in the world.

Think of Apostle Paul who looked forward to the crown of righteousness at the end of his life without any regret and ran into the arms of God! What a wonderful life! Like Paul, we too should live such a wonderful life. Everything in the world is transient, but the things of the kingdom of God are eternal. Thinking of the everlasting joy in the eternal world, let us keep our faith and fulfill our duties as evangelists.

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.

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 Last Judgment Will Be When Jesus Comes With Fire. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother , World Mission Society Church of God ]

The Last Judgment Will Be When Jesus Comes With Fire
When Jesus comes as the Last Judge, He is to come with fire, not on a cloud.
The prophet Isaiah testified that on the last day Jesus would come with fire.
As it is written:

Isa. 66:15-16 『See, the LORD is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the LORD will execute judgment upon all men and many will be those slain by the LORD.』

2 Thess. 1:7-8 『This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.』

Heb. 12:29 『...for our "God is a consuming fire."』
Matt. 24:30 『They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.』

Luke 17:22 『..."The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it."』

In other words, we will be able to see Jesus when He comes in a cloud, but we will not see Jesus when He comes with fire. Jesus also said that He wouldn’t find faith on the earth when He came on a cloud for the second time.

Luke 18:8 『"However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"』

If there is no one who has faith at the time Jesus comes, who can be saved? The Bible says:

Matt. 24:31 『"And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other."』

In accordance with the prophecies of Jesus’ coming in a cloud, again, to gather His elect from the four winds, Jesus has come for a second time and is presently gathering His elect from the four winds. The one who has fulfilled all of these prophecies is Christ Ahnsahnghong.
We truly hope that you will be able to recognize the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, through studying the prophecies of the Bible so that you may receive salvation.

Father’s love that I later realized. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother , WMSCOG ]


God the Father, Christ Ahnsahnghong, came to the earth to show us the way to receive eternal life and go back to the Kingdom of heaven.
Christ Ahnsahnghong came with Heavenly Mother as the prophecies of the Bible.
World Mission Society Church of God believes in God the Father and God the Mother who give us eternal life. Lets think about Father's love through the below essay.
My father raised us; three children, all alone.
And among those children, he loved me most, who resembled him.
During childhood, he used to take me on his motorcycle when he went hunting or fishing.
I also loved to follow him wherever he went.
As I became a junior high, I liked hanging around with my friends instead of spending time with my father.
“Your dad’s here.”
It was when we were having P.E.
I quickly said it wasn’t my father and ran away.
Noticing that I was embarrassed of him, he silently left without calling my name.
From that day, he didn’t visit my school.
As I became a grownup, I started to come home really late.
My father used to save meat dishes that he made for dinner. Then, he would call me to his room and fed me.
With annoyed look and voice, I would go to my room, saying that I was exhausted and sleepy.
In those years, I couldn’t realize.
The love of my father who waited for me spending all night without sleep, making sure the room was warm enough.
There was a time when I received a gallstone operation.
Since I had no mother, it was my father’s duty to look after me.
My gallstone got infected after the operation and had to be hospitalized for a month.
My father would come to the hospital 7 in the morning and went home 11 in the evening.
Though he spent his whole month for me, this immature daughter was annoyed of him being closed to me and thinking that my friends were uncomfortable with him, I would go to places where he was not present.
I would fume and fret to my father who looked after me every day.
I even starved myself saying that I’ve lost my appetite.
My father would then pack some food at home and come to the hospital which took 3 hours by bus.
Worrying that I needed to eat well in order to take strong medicine, he would always prepare the food nice and warm.
Early morning till late night he would only consider me, but I fumed and fretted and was annoyed with him.
When I finally realized my father’s silent love, he was no longer with me.
That regret still remains in my heart thinking that I should have realized sooner.
As time passes by, I realize how deep and wide my father’s love was.
And then I started to think about Heavenly Father.
I see myself how carelessly I considered Heavenly Father’s untiring love, coming to this earth to give us life.
How painful his heart must have been whenever I neglected Father’s love.
I promised myself not to leave regret in my heart again.
As a child who has received Heavenly Father’s great love, I now want to get on his side and become a child who can give him joy.

The Spirit and the Bride give us the water of life [Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]


Without Mother, there is no eternal life. Without Mother, there is no truth. Those who do not believe in Mother can’t receive the promise of eternal life and the kingdom of heaven.
In the last chapter of the Bible, we can see that the water of life is given to those who realize our heavenly Father and Mother, who are the Bridegroom and the Bride at the heavenly wedding banquet, and come to the wedding feast.

Rev 22:17-19 『The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.』

The Spirit is our Father, and the bride is the wife of our Father, so she is our Mother. Our Father and Mother both give us the water of life, but the Bible describes God as a singular entity. It’s because God the Father is the representative of the heavenly family. In the book of Romans, it is written that sin entered the world through one man, Adam (Ro 5:12). This shows that the Bible views Adam as a representative, considering Eve as a part of Adam. Since Eve was created from the rib of Adam, the Bible says that they became one flesh (Ge 2:21-24). Also, people have the view that husband and wife are one. This view is originated from the providence of God.
However, in the New Testament, Mother is described as a completely separate entity. It’s because we can only be born to eternal life when our Father and Mother appear in the last days. The Bible testifies so clearly that there are the Spirit and the Bride who give us the water of life. Nevertheless, some people deny the existence of the Bride. The Bible concludes by saying that such people can never enter the everlasting kingdom of heaven.
There are so many churches in the world today, as numerous as the sands by the sea. However, they do not know the heavenly Mother, nor do they believe in Her or call upon Her. The heavenly Father and Mother, who give eternal life, are not their Gods, and the privilege to know Them is not given to them.
The Bible says, “Blessed are those who participate in the wedding banquet,” or, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast.” We can see that the blessed people, who are invited to the everlasting heavenly wedding banquet, are those who believe the truth about God the Father and also realize and believe the truth about Mother completely. I hope that we all God’s sons and daughters will keep our faith in the Spirit and the Bride, who have called us to receive the water of life, until the end, so that our mortal bodies can be changed into spiritual bodies.

The Passover is the promise of eternal life [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , God the Mother , WMACOG ]


God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light .. ( 1 Timothy 6:15~16)
Therefore only God can give us eternal life. The Passover is promise of eternal life that God give us.
John 6.53-54 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, 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 them up at the last day.

Jesus has promised to us eaten bread at the Passover as flesh of Jesus and drinking wine at the Passover as blood of Jesus.( Mattew 26:19~28)
Those who keep the Passover according to the words of Jesus " Live forever when you eat and drink " will receive the blessing of eternal life.
In contrast, if you do not keep the Passover, can not get eternal life.
World Mission Society Church of God keep the new covenant Passover and believe that Jesus' promise of eternal life.
In this Holy Spirit Age Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother give us eternal life through the new covenant Passover. Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the new covenant Passover that was destroyed 1600 years ago.

Saying that the Holy Spirit has come in the flesh is to deny the Holy Spirit in us? [wmscog]

Those who slander the truth say, “Saying that the Holy Spirit has come in the flesh is to deny the Holy Spirit in us”. Let’s find out why their insistence is contrary to the teachings of the Bible.
 ■ Ro 8:9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.


1. Jesus is the Holy Spirit who came in the flesh

Do they mean that God ,the Holy Spirit, cannot be born in the flesh?
 If there is anyone who insists that the Holy Spirit cannot be born in the flesh, he must deny Jesus Christ. It is because Jesus is the Holy Spirit who was born in the flesh.

God is spirit (Jn 4:24). But He is not the same as other spirits because His spirit is holy, which means He is the Holy Spirit.
 That is why when Peter talked about the Old Testament, written through the Spirit of the LORD (2 Sa 23:2; Isa 11:2; 61:1), He said that it had been written, being carried along by the Holy Spirit (2 Pe 1:21).

God, the Holy Spirit, came to this earth in the flesh. He is Jesus (Mt 1:23l; Jn 1:1-14; 10:30; Php 2:5).
 In the Old Testament times, “the Spirit of the LORD, that is the Holy Spirit” descended on the prophets and testified about the suffering Christ would go through and the glory He would have after suffering. However, Peter said that “the Spirit of Christ” were in them and testified about all about Jesus (1 Pe 1:9-11).

Like this, the Holy Spirit can be in the saints and move them, and He can also be born in  the flesh for the work of salvation.


2. The Second Coming Jesus is the Holy Spirit who came in the flesh a second time

It is the same with the Holy Spirit which Jesus promised on the last night.
 Jesus said that He would send the Holy Spirit in regard to His coming back after His going up into heaven (Jn 14:16-18, 26-28; 16:12-16). “The Holy Spirit” is “the Spirit of Jesus”(Ac 16:6-7; Ro 8:26-27, 34).

In the time of the early Church, the Holy Spirit, that is the Spirit of Jesus, moved the saints who gathered on the Pentecost, and accomplished a great revival through His power (Ac 2:1-42).

And the Bible prophesies that the Holy Spirit will come to the earth in the flesh in the last days and lead His people with the water of life.
 ■ Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

The Holy Spirit and the Bride are saying in loud voices to the thirsty to come and receive the water of life. In what form will They come? God already gave an answer for this at His first coming.
 ■ Jn 7:37-38 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”

Jesus shouted to the thirsty to come and receive the water of ilfe at His first coming. In what form did He come? He came in the flesh.
 So, the Holy Spirit who is shouting to come and receive the water of life in the last days, will surely come in the flesh.

■ Heb 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

In other words, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, and He can come to this earth in the flesh to save His people, and He also helps the saints by residing in Them as spirit. So, to deny the Holy Spirit’s coming in the flesh is to deny God’s whole work of salvation and Jesus as well.

Therefore, the insistence that “To say that the Holy Spirit has come in the flesh is to deny the Holy Spirit in us” is a non-biblical insistence which denies Christ.
