Let’s go to page 35 chapter 2 learn in
chapter 1 we made up our minds to get to know God and become friends with him,
and if we want to become friends with him then we should know them well so does
God our Father who is he and what does he look like what is his heart and what
is his character? We will learn about that this hour, when Jesus came two
thousand years ago if he had just anytime or opportunity whether he was on the
street or on the road or any where else he would always tell the disciples all
those who are listening to him how much God the Father love them all. So
whether not the people who where listening where Christians believe in God or
not all he did was to share to them how much our Heavenly Father love all the
children in this earth and that’s why so many people especially the disciples
they only learn all about the fearful and scary God after meeting Jesus they
began to love God and they wanted to see God and they wanted to ask him why he
love us so much and so one time Phillip ask, “Lord Jesus, show us the
Father? So until now they only learn that God was the fearful God, he was the
God of Judgment but after Jesus came down to this earth and explain to them who
God was, and that God was the real Father who begot us and in every work from
the mouth of Jesus showing them how much they love them they are filled with so
such love, that Philip ask Jesus to show the Father, I want to meet the Father
and so Jesus said the Father he is like me, if you live holy now the day will
come when you will be able to see him face to face, then what is the face our
Father
(1) The Outward Appearance of Our
Heavenly Father
* Our Father has
His head and hair
[I watched... and
the hair of His head was like pure wool] (Dan. 7:9).
* He has a
face
[His servants
shall serve Him] and [They shall see His face] (Rev. 22: 3, 4).
[Now we see ...
dimly, but then face to face] (1 Cor. 13:12).
* He has a
back
[You shall see My
back; but My face shall not be seen] (Exodus 33:23).
[He who has seen
Me has seen the Father] (John 14:9).
[I and my Father
are one] (John 10:30).
* He has vocal
cords and speaks
[the voice of the
Lord] (1 Sam. 15:22)
* He has eyes and
pupils
[the eyes of the
Lord] (Pro. 15:3).
[as the apple of
His eye] (Deut. 32:10)
* He has a
nose
[There are a
smoke in My nostrils] (Isa. 65:5).
* He has a mouth
and lips and speaks with them
[the mouth of
God] (Matt. 4:4).
[My lips] (Ps.
89:34).
[Every word that
proceeds from the mouth of the Lord]
(Deut. 8:3).
* He has
ears
[His ear] (Isa.
59:1)
[You will cause
Your ear to hear] (Ps. 10:17).

[The Lord's arm]
(Num. 11:23).
* He has hands
and fingers
[Your fingers] (
Ps. 8:3).
[Has My hand not
made all these things?] (Acts 7:50).
* He has
legs
[Almighty God ...
His thigh] (Rev. 19:15, 16).
* He has
feet
[earth is My
footstool] (Acts 7:49).
[Your feet] (Ps.
74:3).
* He is clothed
in garment
[His garment was
white as snow] (Dan. 7:9).
[He ... was like
a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance] (Rev. 4:3).
[dwelling in
unapproachable light (garment)] (1 Tim.6:16).
So who is God like, isn’t God like Jesus?
Isn’t he like us? So we can be considered his sons and daughters Jesus just as
he has face, mouth, nose, eyes, hands, arms, legs, feet, just like us our
Father is the same but he is covered in light so that not anyone can see him so
now do you know who we are like and why we are born like the way we are do you
or not? Has you ever learn this before in the world right now in the world they
have made God into someone who we cannot become close to, but we have to go
close to him and we have to meet him we have to walk with him hand in hand. You
got to have this living experience and you have to walk and live with him. It’s
just not our religion but it is our life there is no way for us to act holy or
always –6:36----- we should naturally walk with our Father and we should talk
with him and we shall walk to heaven this is our happy life and this is what we
call religious life why does religion seem to be such a burden we are beginning
a happy life. So Jesus said, “Have I not been with you for so long that you
cannot recognize me? He who sees me has seen the Father so who show us the
Father I and the Father are I one. During the ten days seminar before you may
felt so afraid of God and his eyes seems so scare but all that will disappear
and now he will come to you as a real Father, so kind and gentle and you will
be able to accept him and at that time you may want to see God like Phillip.
And if you cannot bear to be patient, look the person next to you our Father
kind look like that doesn’t he? If you look at the person next to you oh our
God is so good looking can you think that way? Ah not really perhaps, what if
really God looks like that person what happens if really God looks like that
person next to me? What God look like that Teacher Myung Ho Park, right now I
am 50 when I look at my picture when I was in the army 30 years ago, I can’t
even recognize my own self. I guess my teeth are the same everything else is
seems different it is very strange at that time I didn’t even wear glasses even
though 30 years had passed somewhat our face is change and you cannot even tell
then we left our Real Daddy we are not able to eat the fruit or drink the water
of life already so many thousands of years do you think we would look like our
Father any longer? You can’t even tell that we look like him any longer, it’s a
miracle that we are even alive and breathing you know when we go to heaven we
all have to be grow two and half up to three time taller than we are now, right
now we are degenerated we become short right now we are just so short and so we
go to heaven and we drink the water and eat the fruit of life we will grow two
and half to three times taller than we are now. The original height and that
time everything will be restored. Right now we are one third of our normal
height we are like dwarfs because we ate things that we should not have eaten.
And if you go to Africa there are people there
known as pygmies there are some that even 57 cm. there are some that even a 150
cm. those who are a 150 cm. tall all they can talk and they can listen but
those who are 57 cm. they have no language they can’t even think properly they
have no salvation. Why no matter how much you gave them God’s word they can’t
understand it. There is no way for them to understand. That’s why heaven has
given up on them one time a missionary
went there and saw this 57 cm. people about two feet tall he was walking
on the forest and he saw this short people and they are all running away all of
a sudden, but they one pygmy you know missionary from Europe and America
sometimes they are even more than 6 feet tall so they are very, very, any they
are so tall that this 57 cm. this less than 2 foot pygmy become so scared but he couldn’t
run because he become so scared. So what
he did was in this------11:30--- he start digging the ground even in this
ground he stacked his face in the ground and his feet were dangling in the air
ah who is this so this missionary came and pick this pygmy but this pygmy
couldn’t say anything and instead it’s
trying to wiggle like some fish that was caught and this man look it was a
person and this missionary was completely shock if you at him it’s a person but
there is where the pygmies are living but heaven cannot take them that cannot
be taken to heaven why? They have no judgment, they have no thinking, they have
no language, they just live according to instinct like animals they build there
house on trees because if they build it on the ground they will be eaten by the
animals and they live in the trees and when they are hungry they come down from
the trees and crawl on the trees and eat bugs and when they are full they back
up and sleep and when they are hungry they come back down, this is what they do
all day long they have no salvation. Second generation pygmies, are those who
are a 150 cm. about 5 ft. tall and then they other third generation pygmies are
us. Let us not forget that we are the third generation pygmies. And because we
are pygmies no matter how much the real thing the truth is given to you say
Amen, amen, and then during the resting period you just forget you only sit
here and then after eating breakfast or lunch you forget when you go back and
when you come back you forget. You will look over there and then you will
forget. You must be wide awake and say God please give this pygmy wisdom and
understanding that I would be able to understand the truth
--------13:36------this is God’s voice, I hope that you will pray like this. If
we are a little bit more degenerated we also, may not be able been saved I hope
you will know that you are barely saved I hope that you will listen very, very
carefully. There is children’s bible story a ten volume bible story and it has
this color pictures that are drawn paintings and out of all the people there
the most beautiful is Adam and Eve. When we go to heaven when we meet Adam and
Eve I’m sure they will all look ten times a hundred time more beautiful than in
the ----14:21--- why? Because this pygmies draw this pictures what if we really
see them in person why do you think they would be so beautiful and handsome So how much more good looking must our Father
be, our is the best looking in this universe we left our Father for thousands
of years we did drink the water of life or eat the fruit the life for thousands
of years and though our Jesus called us but the food that we eat on this earth
is like the food of animals though we become so degenerated we barely see that
we have to wear glasses we can’t even hear we became blind and deaf too, all
was completely blind and deaf. How pitiful we have become we who are Gods
should have fly throughout the universe some while walking they sprain their
ankle or they even break their ankle then now can you brag to everyone that our
Father in Heaven is so good looking? Then what kind of part does he have is he
such a scary God as they say in the world who only likes to judge, let’s learn
of his Inner heart.

(John 5:17).
[Most assuredly,
I say to you, the Son can do nothing of His own accord, but only what He sees

He is a diligent
Father. Churches today think that God has merely sitting on His throne without
doing anything and demands worship and glory from men and angels, as if He were
thirsty for glory and worship and worship like king Jinsi in Chinese history. He does not want
glory and worship at all.
Even if the
entire churches of the world do not give glory and worship, there are trillions
of His own children in the universe. He does no desire worship and glory from
men merely sitting on His throne; He is a diligent Father of ours. He is the
best Worker, Laborer in the universe. We will learn about that couple of days
later.
Look at the sky.
Who made that? Don’t you see traces of His labor? Look at the mountains,
plains, the world, and the sea. Who made them all? They are traces of our
Father’s labor. All flowers in gardens, mountains, and valleys; our Father
worked so hard to plant them all. He is our diligent Father who has been
working so hard ever since the beginning. He works so hard. Even for a single
child of His He works as hard as His hands are worn out. Those sky, mountains,
plains… Have our ancestors made them? They all display traces of our Father’s
labor. And how come people regard His as a greedy tyrant who merely demands
worship and glory on His throne? Please don’t be fooled by fake doctrines.
God is not that all.
He is a tender Father who works hard day and night for the happiness of His
children. And as His efforts are not recognized by them, He sobs, sighs, and
weeps. Let us accept His love.
So let’s read
from the middle of page 42.
(M20) “Since He
possesses affection just as we do, He loves one whom He loves, hates one whom
He hates. When His love is rejected by His earthly children whom He pursued
with one-sided love, He gets disappointed and become jealous behind their back.
It is because He loves them too much: if He did not love them, He would not
become jealous. Therefore His jealousy is an expression of His ardent love for
them. And He feels happy at the sight of happiness, laughs at the sight of fun.
He becomes sad at the sight of sorrow, sheds at the sight of greater sorrow,
and wails as He sees something even more woeful.”
Let’s read next
by turns.
(F19) “He is so
compassionate and loving that when He sees pitiful men, He is touched with
pity, and would give away everything to comfort them. But He hates and is
displeased with those who keep doing things loathsome. When we do something
bad, He gets angry with us and as we do worse deeds He become indignant. As we
do unbearable things, He arises up to give severe punishment and reprimand.
But if we, though
sinful, return and ask for pardon, He changes His mind, and forgives us
completely, and never remembers our past. And He restores His peace of mind
right away. He is so honest as much as He loathes dishonestly Himself, and
faithful, truthful. Therefore even at the risk of His throne and His name, He
never changes His promise but always fulfills it.
He repays the
good, and the wicked according to what they have done even more perfectly and
accurately than a computer or a calculator can, Home-Head of our universal
family who is at unceasing work for all His creations, especially for the good
of His children, with an effort incomparable to sacrifices and services of any
earthly parents for their children. Should we not forget this fact and be
thankful for so amazing grace of our Father?”
(M21) “Because He
is also an emotional Father Just as we are, He speaks to us as follows, ‘I love
Me, and those who seek Me diligently shall find Me.
Yes. Do you also
love those who love you? Do you honor those who honor you? Do you disregard
those who despise you? God is the same. If you truly want to be noble children
of heaven, honor God and try to exalt Him.
If anybody tries
to tread others down to exalt himself, he is trodden down and lowered. I hope
you exalt God. If we glorify God, the whole world cannot put us into shame;
they are put into shame themselves. Next.
(M22) “I will
show Myself holy among those who are near Me, and before all the people I will
be glorified. (Lev. 10:3). Therefore I will look with favor on the faithful in
the land, which they may dwell with Me; he who walks in the way that is
blameless shall minister to Me.” (Ps. 101:6).
Yes. God is
glorified by those who come close to Him: that’s how we are to give glory to
Him. To closely follow Him does not mean to carry the Bible all the time or to
give speeches all the time, but to have God’s character most.
(F20) “Azariah
also exclaims, ‘Hear Me…all the Judah…the Lord is with you, while you are with
Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will
forsake you’ (2 Chro. 15:2). Elder James also said, ‘Draw near to God, and He
will draw near to you’ (James 4:8).”
Yes. If you seek
God, He also comes out to seek you; if you seek Him earnestly, what does He do?
He is found by you. I hope you ask Him for a date with you. He said, “If you
ask Him for a date with you. He said, “If you draw near Me, I will draw near
you.”
And Solomon said
also, “If you exalt Him, He will exalt you.” I hope you exalt God your Father.
Then the Father will also exalt you high as the highest sons and daughters of
heaven. Nest what did Jesus say?
(F21) “Jesus
said, ‘If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify him immediately.”
(John 13:32).
Yes. Jesus who
knew the inner heart of God most said, “If God is glorified in you, the Father
will also glorify you in Himself, and glorify you how? Immediately. Without
delay. No matter how humble, young or weak child give glory to Him, He repays
him with courtesy and good manners; He is a gentle Father. He is not arrogant
and indifferent but humble, tender and gentle.
When I was a
little boy I happened to visit a Buddhist temple with my mother, and saw very
old Buddhists keep bowing down to Buddha for so long. As I went there next
time, they were doing the same thing again.
“Mom, why do they
bow like that every day?”
“Oh, even though
they bow a thousand times, the Buddha receives it as if they had done that just
once; that’s why however many times they do that, it’s not considered so many.”
Isn’t the God of
today’s Christian world the same, who hardly forgives them, once if they beg,
pardon scores of or hundreds of times, and still, keeps looking for their
faults? Trying to uncover their past sins? Our Father is not that kind of God.
If we try to bow to Him like that, He will quickly prevent us saying, “No,
dear, what if you get a backache!”
If you glorify
God, He will also glorify you before the universe. The reason why churches
today are easily put to shame is because they glorify not God but Satan.
Churches are supposed to be eldest sons of the universe who are exalted above
all countries and people with bright faces wherever they go.
Is it not there
is one phoenix among a thousand chickens? They are supposed to be God’s noble
sons who carry His character and glory in their countenance just like a phoenix
in the midst of chickens.
True religion is
to be connected with each other with love. Fake religion gives one-sided love
with no return or response. If there had been a return, those Christians might
have been transformed into God’s image already. Let us enjoy practical
relationship with God. Let’s read the next.
(M23) “Therefore
I hope every family member shares love and friendship with our heavenly Father,
which the world has no knowledge of, by giving full glory to each other. Now we
can see that His Heart and character are not different from ours, and that He
made us in perfect accordance with Him not only in His image but also in His
character, as He said, “Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. (Gen.
1:26). If there is any difference, it is that in His heart there is no sin, no
evil, and no untruthfulness; and that from the deep of His heart springs forth
the fountain of love sinners can not possess or compare with anything. This
love is His life and light. If He could be robbed of that love which is His
life and light, He would be reduced to nothingness and His life would
disappear. His whole self is love. (1 John 4:16)
Yes. When He gave
birth to us in the beginning He made us just like Himself with not only His
image but His character also: therefore we were born as His real sons and
daughters with the same dispositions as His, who feel happy at the sight of happiness
and laugh at the sight of fun and cry at the sigh of sorrow. His whole self is love.
Our Father’s life is love. So, please repeat after me.
“Love is God’s
life.”
““Love is God’s
light.”
His whole self is
love in other words. He is the source of all love in the universe; he is a lump
of love. If he could be robbed of His love, He would be dead. He would turn
nothing and dead. His whole self is love, Love is His life. Please read on.
(F22) “He is the
source of all love in the universe; He is a bundle of love. To rob Him His love
is like removing intensely burning light and heat from the rays of the sun in
the midsummer; if it could be done so, not only He himself but the whole
universe would become pitch-dark and cold; everything would fall desolate. But
for the burning rays of love extending out unceasingly from Him, the universe
could not exist; and it is easier and more reasonable for fishes to survive out
of water than for the children of men to live without the sun-ray of His love,
the light of grace, or for any other worlds in the universe to live without the
sun of love springing form Him unceasingly.”
Yes. The entire
universe is sustained by the sun-ray of His love every passing moment whether
we love Him or not. If the sun-ray of God could be taken away from Him at any
moments, the entire universe would turn into pitch-black darkness and be
destroyed. That’s why the whole universe cannot exist a single moment apart
from our Father.
That’s why the
first condition for salvation is to accept God. And then Jesus Christ. Shall I
tell you one more thing offensive to your ears? There is no God in the
Christian world today. Even if thousands or millions of people assemble there,
there is no God with them. You may get offended? There is no God. I speak
nothing but truth. Why is there is no God then? I’ll give you evidence.
The life of the sun
is light. Is that right? So, the sun and the light cannot stay apart from each
other. They remain together. Is that right? Light and the sun share inseparable
relationship with each other. God’s life is love. Love is God’s light. So,
where is God, love cannot be absent, and where is love, God cannot be absent.
Is there love in
churches today? Do you truly believe there is no God in those churches who
always fight with other churches, with pastors and elders? If there were God
with them, His love would overflow from them like rivers of water and the
ocean. If there is love, there must be God there in other words. So, if there
is no love in a church, it tells there is no God there. I hope you find out and
accept the true God of love here and bring Him to those churches where is no
God, so that they can be saved with you together. Let’s read the next.
(M24) “Another
difference that He has from the children of earth is…
“Since you
readers…”
(M25) “Now, since you
readers have learned well about His heart and character, I hope you become His
loving sons and daughters who, from now on, render obedience to Him who is love
Himself, whose life is love, and whose entirety is love, submitting not for
fear of His judgment or punishment but for fear of making Him sad, sigh and
cry, and weep for you. And as He has
promised, planned, and desired, He will send His Son at His exact preplanned
time and date to bring us back to His everlasting holy city, to live with us
forever as He did to Enoch our elder brother, and we shall possess the kingdom
forever, forever and ever.’ (Dan. 1:18). Amen. Praise the Lord!”
So far we have attended
church and obeyed God for fear of being thrown into fire of brimstone or into a
fire of hell, of losing eternal life and the heavenly paradise. But that’s not obedience
at all. That’s bondage, slavish life. That kind of religion does not give
salvation.
But as we found our Father’s
heart, we became His good sons and daughters who obey perfectly Him for fear of
making Him sad, sigh, and shed tears if we don’t go to heaven. I hope you and I
all become His obedient children by knowing His deep heart, sharing inseparable
relationship with Him and living with Him in heaven forever.
After singing the Song
No.242 may anybody pray? Let’s sing the 3rd stanza twice.
