Regeneration and Sanctification

Have told you that we are going to study Regeneration and Sanctification every evening hour? “The Miraculous Regeneration and the Happiness of a Sanctified Life.” What is Regeneration? Will you please write down and I am going to read it to you. Regeneration means to begin a new life, with a new mind, new purpose, new motive, new idea and a new desire by receiving a new principle from heaven; and there must follow nine fruits of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22,23. Okay, please read it.

Reader: Regeneration means to begin a new life with a new mind, new purpose, new motive, new idea, and a new desire by receiving a new principle from heaven; and there must follow nine fruits of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22, 23. 

Speaker: This is the true regeneration. Regeneration does not mean to be a monk with bald head or to be nicely dressed. Regeneration is to put away all old principles of the past and receive a true principle from heaven and start a new life, with a new mind, new purpose, new motive, new idea, and new desire. Regeneration means to begin a new life with a new mind, new purpose, new motive, new idea, and a new desire by receiving a new principle from heaven. In other words, regeneration is a change of inner heart not an outward change. So, sinners are changed into holy persons. People who used to think of foul things begin to think of holy matters. This is a true token of being regenerated and there must follow nine fruits of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22, 23.

Those who profess to be regenerated without having these fruits of the Holy Spirit are not regenerated at all. There must follow these nine fruits of the Holy Spirit. People today do not even know what regeneration is or what sanctification is. They say, “Ah, they are the same thing,” but I say they are different.

It is said that regeneration which is being taught in churches today is fake, false. People there are trained and cultivated in order to be regenerated. They try to be moral people but if anything happens which stimulates their temper, then they just loose their temper and even kill others. Those who are truly regenerated, even if they are stoned to death, even if they are persecuted or crucified on the cross, they die with a smile, with the peace of heaven. This is the true regeneration of heaven. So, the true regeneration means the basic change of heart. Romans 11:16.

Reader: For if the first fruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

Speaker: [If the first fruit is holy, the lump is also holy and if the root is holy so are the branches.] So, the true regeneration taught by Jesus is not a change of old the habits but a basic change of heart. The change at the basis of one’s heart. So, the entire transformation of heart is regeneration. This can happen by the working of the Holy Spirit. I will make it simple, easier.

The Bible says that regeneration being taught by churches today is all fake.

This is a wild persimmon tree that always bears wild persimmon fruits every year. Why? Why does the tree bear wild persimmon every year? Because the tree itself is a wild persimmon. Even if people beg the tree not to bear wild persimmons but real ones, the tree cannot help but bear wild persimmons every year. This is the same as churches today. Even if they go to church hundreds of years, they are the same. They say, “Oh! I quit smoking and drinking.” That’s nothing. Even worldly people can quit smoking or drinking for the sake of their health. They still remain selfish, greedy even if they go to church hundreds of years. Were you not like that? Even if you went to church so many years, even if you were promoted to the highest position in your church, your character remained the same. Haven’t you been like that? If anybody says, “No, I have been completely transformed by having attended churches for so many years,” then he must be a liar.

The wild persimmon refers to a simple act, a simple action. If an elder does something wrong they say, “Ah, since he did this wrong, let us cut this branch on this side and let us cut the other branch on the other side.” Even if they keep cutting the branches on this side and on that side to prevent him from bearing wild persimmon every year, the tree itself cannot help but bear wild persimmons continuously. It is the church who planted this wild persimmon tree and they are also the ones cutting the branches. They say “Let us keep the Sabbath, let us not eat this, let us not do that, let us observe this.” No matter what they do, they remain the same. But what is the right teaching of Jesus about regeneration? True regeneration taught by Jesus is to cut down the whole tree at the bottom.

Since yesterday, as you came here, you hear only those words which will cut off your whole tree, cut off the whole tree of your life. Now, you feel very offended, but only when the whole tree is cut down at the bottom, that’s the only way, you can live. No matter how tall this tree must have grown so far, it must be cut down and at the bottom of it, the new sprout of true persimmon tree must be transplanted. Then, a true persimmon tree starts growing. Once it grows big can it bear wild persimmons? No, even if people beg the tree for wild persimmon, it cannot bear wild persimmons anymore. It bears only true persimmons from then on. It bears so many true persimmons that people have to support the branches. 1 John 3:9.

Reader: Whosoever has been born of God does not sin; for his seed remains in him and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

Speaker: Whoever has been born of God does not sin and cannot sin either. Did you listen carefully? Did you hear it? Whoever has been born of God does not sin and cannot sin either. In other words, He lives a life completely apart from sin. Can anybody be like this? Every one of you came from many different churches. Have you ever heard people, pastors giving lectures about this, that whoever has been born of God cannot sin and does not sin either? This is the true teaching of Jesus about regeneration. Then, why those who have been born of God cannot sin and does not sin? Because the whole tree of his heart was completely cut down and a new sprout of heaven was transplanted into him. He cannot bear wild persimmons anymore. He only bears true persimmons from then on. That’s why whoever has been born of God cannot sin and does not sin either. Even if those people say, “Ah, this is the righteousness of God. This is imparted righteousness and this is imputed righteousness.” Even if they teach people like that, they themselves don’t even understand what they are, because they have not experienced it.

This is an egg. Is this egg dead of alive? What about this chick? Is it dead of alive? Both are alive, both are living but they are different. Although both of them are alive, they are different. This egg doesn’t have eyes, ears, or anything but this little chick can see, can hear, can distinguish what to eat or what not to eat. This egg cannot see and cannot hear because it does not have eyes, ears, nose, or mouth. This is your state before you came here. Deut. 29:4.

Reader: Yet the Lord has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.

Speaker: “The Lord has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.” Then, when does He give us the heart to perceive, eyes to see, and ears to hear? Only as we come to our Real Daddy and be embraced by Him we are given these. Please read Isaiah 46:3, 4.

Reader: Listen to me, Oh house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been upheld by Me from birth, who have been carried from the womb: even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

Speaker: Here our Father keeps saying, “I will bear you, I will embrace you, I will carry you.” Who? Who will do it? Our Daddy! We were born physically with eyes to see, ears to hear, hearts to perceive. We were born from our physical parents just like this egg but as we are brooded on by our Father, we are born again. First we were born by our physical parents. Second, we are to be born again through our Father’s love as He embrace us.

This egg does not know anything. Even snakes or foxes come to devour it, this egg doesn’t know anything. It doesn’t’ know what to eat but this little chick knows everything, “Ah! Something is coming to devour me. I have to run quickly to my mother’s bosom.” This chick also knows what to eat, “Ah, this is rice, I can eat it. This is nothing I don’t have to eat it.” If you are brooded on by our Father for ten days here, you will gain insight to distinguish what to eat and not to eat and what is heresy and what is truth.

People in the world say, “Ah, we have to distinguish between truth and error.” It’s truly nonsense with them. Only when we are brooded on by our Father, by our Real Daddy, we are given eyes to see, ears to hear, hearts to perceive. That’s why when they try to distinguish between truth and error, they only do funny things. They themselves don’t even know what is right and what is wrong.

Why did I tell you not to miss even a single lecture or a single hour? A mother hen broods on her eggs. As the mother hen broods on fifteen or twenty eggs, if one of them is added three days later, do you think it will be hatched? No! What if one of them is taken out before the maturity period, can it be hatched by itself? No! All the eggs, all of them must be brooded on by the mother hen through the entire period, then, they will all come out as little chicks.

Through this meeting, your eternal life or eternal death is determined, whether you will be hatched as little chicks or become rotten eggs. Yet, despite of being brooded on by the mother hen all together, some become rotten eggs. Do you know why? Because, they stay outside the bosom of their mother. They don’t stay inside the mother’s bosom because of their arrogance. Though they are brooded on by our Father all together here, some people become rotten eggs and go away. Even on the last day they just go back home as rotten eggs. They don’t want to be brooded on by our Father due to their arrogance saying, “Ah, I studied Theology. I am somebody.” They stay outside our Father’s bosom and become rotten eggs only filled with rejection feelings. If we are not saved completely yet, we don’t have to be proud of ourselves. We must take off our shoes of arrogance like Moses. If you only come before Him with a humble heart, He promised to carry us, bear us, and embrace us.

Do you believe that people were completely transformed in the time of Pentecost? Do you believe that they were transformed for ten-day period? Do you also believe that God has the same power as before? Then why are people not changed completely like on the day of Pentecost? God has the same power yesterday, today and eternally. Two thousand years ago, those terrible sinners became completely transformed just for ten-day period. Our Father has the same power today.

In the upper room, there were only few people, but they all came out as saints. On the day of Pentecost the upper room, became a beautiful place. So terrible hearted people, so terrible looking people entered the upper room. Ten days before they entered the upper room were the impatient Peter, doubting Thomas, Mark, John, Luke... After ten days, everybody became Saint Peter, Saint Paul, Saint Thomas, Saint Mark, Saint Luke. Everybody came out as saints, as little Jesuses. Do you believe this story? This was a true story two thousand years ago. Why should not the same thing take place today? Because their God is not a true God. The Jews could not understand what happened to them because they did not experience the working of the true Holy Spirit. They only observed formalities, offering long, tedious prayers and worship. That’s why they could not understand what happened to Jesus’ disciples just for ten days. If anybody entered there and followed them, he became completely transformed. So, the people cried out to their leaders, “why are we not changed? Look at those people, who follow Jesus disciples, they are completely changed. But here, how come we are not changed even after ten days?” Then, the leaders told them, “Ah, that’s fanaticism.” Is there any ‘fanaticism’ that transforms sinners into God’s image? If there is a kind of fanaticism, then we must be possessed by it to be changed.

In the last upper room, it is the same. People who always fight with one another; wife who always fight with her husband and husband who always beat his wife; once they come here, they are changed. There was a person who came from Kang Hwa Island. His life was so terrible before. He never thought of his family and kept on drinking liquor. Everyday, he was drinking wine until his whole body became so skinny. He didn’t care about his children that he almost destroyed his family. His nick name was a liquor Jack. But as he came here just once, this liquor Jack became completely different person. When he went back home, he became a priest for his family. So, all the pastors came to his wife saying, “Ah, your husband fell into heresy.”

Although people from different places attended church for so many years, they remain the same. However, they are completely changed when they come to our Daddy to be brooded on. 

Once there came a deaconess here. While she was here, church leaders came to her husband saying, “Oh, your wife went to a very terrible place, you must quickly bring her back.” Surprised, he immediately came here by himself on his motorcycle. Because he was so angry, on the way he met an accident and arrived here at eleven o’clock in a very cold winter night. He said, “You come out and let’s go home.” That time, his wife was experiencing true regeneration in her heart and answered, “I want to stay, I want to listen more.” But he dragged her back home. Because the night was so cold, our brethren gave her thick clothes. You know what kind of person she was? She was not beaten by her husband even once. Every time there was a fight, she always said, “man and woman are equal, why should we be controlled by the other?” But as her husband brought her home, there was a great surprise. In the past they used to fight with one another but she became completely different. When her husband told her not to read the book, she didn’t say anything but just entered the cold room. After reading the book, she just come out with a beautiful smile and began to serve him. Although he scolded her, she was only looking at him with a pitiful look, compassionate eyes. He became so surprised that he said to himself, “Probably I have to go the meeting myself.” So, the next meeting, he came. Then he said to me, “Teacher, probably someone like me must attend this meeting much more than others.” He also attended church who professed to have the real truth. Now, his family became a paradise.

What do those outside pastors say? They say, “It is true that anybody who goes to Park Myung Ho’s meeting is changed but there must be something wrong.” In spite of having acknowledged the result or the fruit of God’s work, they still do not distinguish, perceive, and discern the truth. Do you know how terrible the human character is? Even if Cain, Adam’s son, remains on the ground for seven thousand years, when he will be resurrected at the end of this history, he will rise up with the same character which he had when he was alive.

Human character can never be changed by anything except God’s power. Only God can transform people’s heart. Human character is so strong and so terrible that it can never be changed by anything. However, anyone who came to the upper room was changed, that’s why people in the world judged it as fanaticism. This is the reason why they cannot be saved: they regard the work of the true Holy Spirit as fanaticism. Do you now believe that the God who completely changed Jesus’ disciples two thousand years ago has the same power today? I hope you all be fully brooded on by our Father and come out as completely different being, different persons.

So, regeneration is for a little chick to come out from the egg shell. In order to be regenerated, eggs must be brooded on by the mother hen. If they only remain in the mother’s bosom, they all can come out as regenerated beings. 

Sanctification is a different thing. Sanctification is for the little chicks to be changed more and more into the image of their mother hen. In other words, sanctification is to be made little by little into the image of God. It is a lifetime work. Not a lifetime work for seven years on this earth but a lifetime work through our eternal years, our eternal life. Even after going to heaven, we have to be sanctified more and more.

Somebody went up to heaven and saw so beautiful people in heaven and asked them, “How come you are so beautiful?” One of them answered, “Because we have not committed sin and have not been corrupted but are sanctified continuously.” Even the heavenly beings are sanctified into our Father’s image then, how can we say that we are completely sanctified? So, sanctification is our lifetime work through eternity.

Regarding regeneration, Jesus said, “If you are only regenerated, I will take you to heaven with Me.” Do you know why regeneration is so important? Does the mother hen regard her eggs as her real children? No! Some mother hens even break them into pieces. However, once little chicks come out from those eggs, the mother hen regards them as her real children and protects them. Before they are hatched, the mother runs away if anybody follows her. But once the eggs are hatched and little chicks come out, the mother hen never runs away but protects them. If an eagle tries to take away one of the little chicks, the mother hen follows the eagle, even flying after him to take back her baby.

If you only stay in our Father’s bosom to be fully brooded on for ten days, you will surely come out as regenerated beings, regenerated children with our Father’s image like in the day of Pentecost. Being regenerated for ten days here, even if you meet an accident and die on the way back home, you will surely go to heaven. Of course that kind of thing will not happen but anyhow, if you are only regenerated just once, He will take you to heaven. Even if a little chick lives for only one day and die, the mother hen regards it as her real child. So, if you don’t stay outside but fully be brooded on by our Father to come out just like the little chicks, then, He will accept us as His real children forever. So, the declaration, “You are My son, today I have begotten you” is proclaimed when we accept this, when we are brooded on and are regenerated by our Father.

Human character is so terrible that it can never be changed by anything even through seven thousand years. Then, how can our character be changed? How could the character of Jesus’ disciples be changed on the day of Pentecost? Why do the character of people today changed as they come here, to our Father’s bosom? There is a reason. These three eggs, even if these are smaller than the others, if they are brooded on by the mother hen, they all come out as little chicks. What about the other? Although they are bigger, they just rot and die. What is the difference? Because these eggs, even if they are smaller, they have seed inside, the Father’s seed. So, the reason why Jesus disciples were completely changed on the day of Pentecost only for ten days, and the reason why people of today who come here are changed completely are the same. It is because we received the seed of God, the seed of our Father which is love. It’s not because I play magic here. If I do not teach you, if our Father does not give His love to us for ten days here, nobody will be able to change you even if you stay here hundreds of days. This is the reason why I am telling you, never to miss any single lecture, even a single hour. If anybody takes one of the eggs in the morning and puts it back in the evening and takes it out in the morning again, can it be hatched? No! On the last day, when I receive question papers from people, I know which lecture each person missed. If you only listen carefully and accept everything into your heart, all your questions will be answered. You will understand everything. If you still have any rejection feeling in your heart and cannot concentrate very well, then you must come to this meeting again.

Daddy is love. Even if you become rotten eggs this time, our Father can regenerate you completely if you come again. God has the same power today as on the day of Pentecost. Do you believe that? Please believe that He has the same power today. People like Peter, John, James, Luke, Thomas and the murderer Paul and Moses, they all were completely changed by our Father’s love. Then why can’t we be changed?

Churches today say, “Only when you believe in Jesus all your lifetime, you can be saved.” They can be regenerated only by believing in Jesus all their lifetime. Those people who attended church all their lifetime, are they changed? That’s a complete lie.

Jacob who deceived his brother and his father fled away and became a servant, a shepherd of his uncle. Because he deceived others, he was also deceived by his uncle. After twenty years of staying at his uncle’s house, he was not regenerated at all. He had a very bad point. He was very good at deceiving others. He was so subtle. When he was coming back to his brother twenty years later, he thought of himself, “Twenty years ago, I could deceive my brother with a bowl of porridge. This time, I must give more. So, I have to send him this many donkeys, lambs, goats, then he is going to be deceived again.” As he sent them to him, his brother said, “No, I am not going to be deceived anymore. I’m going to kill you.” Now, Jacob got into big trouble that he went to a river called Jabbok. There, he found himself wrestling with God. When morning came, God touched his thigh bone. What happened to him when was hit by God? Gen. 32:30,32.

Reader: And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel : “for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” Just as he crossed over Peniel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.

Speaker: “Just as he crossed over Peniel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.” Here, the sun does not refer to the physical sun in the skies. It means the sun of God’s divinity. It is in Isaiah 60:19.

Reader: The sun shall no longer be your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you; but the LORD will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.

Speaker: “The sun in the sky shall no longer be your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you, but he Lord Himself will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.”

Yes, this Son, this Son of God became the true Son in His heart. So, He was given a new name “Israel.” Israel the last two letters El means God. In other words He became a Prince of God, Prince of heaven. After wrestling with God, when He touched his thigh bone, he became completely regenerated.  The sun and moon of God became the true sun and moon in the world of His heart. He had no fear anymore from then on. Even though he was approaching his brother who was about to kill him, he had no fear at all. He became a holy person, a holy saint who transcended materialism. Do you believe that he was completely regenerated? Then, how long did it take for him to be regenerated? Only one night.

The world cannot bear people who are completely regenerated. Why? Even if the world kills them they still pray for their murderers. Even if they are crucified, they just pray for them and forgive them. Can anybody kill Gods? I hope you be like that. Was Jacob regenerated through the whole night? No! The moment God touched his thigh bone, he became regenerated. Our Father is a mighty God, so He can regenerate us in a moment.

Next, what about the robber on the cross? People in the world say, “Ah, look at the robber on the cross. He was saved. Don’t worry, you can just believe in Jesus.” They deceive people like that. If the robber on the cross had been saved by just believing in Jesus without being regenerated, can there be anybody who will not be saved in the world today? The robber on the cross didn't even have the chance to return the wallet he had stolen. In spite of that, if he had gone up to heaven, can there be anybody who can go to heaven? Have you stolen anything like that? Everybody in the world must go to heaven if the robber on the cross had gone up to heaven without being regenerated. Then, heaven will be the most terrible place. We rather stay on this earth than go up to heaven if that is the case.

The teaching of Christians in the world today is so funny. If that robber had gone up to heaven without being regenerated, Jesus must be liar and heaven would be a most hellish place. It would be a place of scandals, burglars, and murderers. However, the robber was completely regenerated on the cross. How? God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son so that they may accept Him and be saved but they beat Him up and killed Him. Nobody accepted Him when He was crucified. As He was hanging on the cross, one of the robbers rebuked the robber on the other side of Jesus saying, “How come you say like that against Jesus? We deserve to die but this person is a Holy Teacher.” And he said again, “Oh, Lord please remember me when you go to your home.” Our Father’s heart was ripped apart as He was seeing His Son being betrayed by all people, as He saw nobody accepting Him. Yet, He was overjoyed when He saw the robber on the cross accepting His Son. He was so thankful to him, that’s why He regenerated him completely and saved him. Right there on the cross, he was regenerated and he had no fear about death anymore. He was completely regenerated on the cross. Who can know this fact?

They all say, “Look at the robber on the cross, he was saved.” How can we live completely righteous life? If we only believe in Jesus, we can go to heaven even if we commit sin.” However, the robber on the cross was completely regenerated right there. Do you believe this fact? Those church doctrines say that we are regenerated through our whole lifetime by attending church. Then, the robber on the cross must be hanging there all his life time to be regenerated. But he was regenerated in a moment. Then, why do Christians today cannot be regenerated in spite of going to Church for so many years? It’s because their teaching is false. Do you now believe that our Father has a power to regenerate people even in a moment or a few minutes? 2 Peter 3:8.

Reader: But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Speaker: My beloved children who long to be regenerated and go to heaven: Do not forget this one thing,… that your Daddy can accomplish one thousand years of work in one day, and also He can accomplish one day’s work in a thousand years. He can do whatever depending on the need of His children. He either accomplishes His regeneration in a moment or for thousands of years.

One person attended this meeting right before his death. He accepted this message and died. He was an Atheist before. When he accepted this message he was so thankful that he faced death without any fear at all. Before his death he said, “If I have not become sick I wouldn't be able to accept my Father, my Real Daddy.” After accepting our Daddy, he became so happy, so peaceful and died.

Do you believe that our Father regenerated Jesus’ disciples for ten days? Do you also believe that He regenerated the robber on the cross in a moment and saved him? Do you also believe that He has the same power with us today? I hope you do not leave our Daddy.

This is the end of the world, the second coming of Jesus. This person believed in Jesus for forty five plus years. He donated everything the church required. As He was told, he also went to the water and was baptized, as the church told him to fast, he fasted. Some people today even sell their houses and donate all money to church and they just rent a house. They donate everything they have to church. This elder believed in Jesus for forty five years. But his heart remained the same. The hunger of his heart, the thirst of his heart could not be satisfied at all. He learned that if one believes in Jesus, he will find a true peace of heart. But he didn't even understand what true peace of heart is. He never wanted to believe in Jesus anymore but if he wouldn't  he would be burnt to fire of brimstone. So, in order not to be burnt into fire of brimstone he went to church but it is so troublesome, so agonizing. He even wanted to kill himself but the church leader said, “If you kill yourself it’s the same thing as murder.” He could not even kill himself. His life was a torture.

There is nobody in the world who can say, “Ah, my religious life is full of joy and heavenly peace.”

As I went to Tae Go City, there came lots of deaconesses from big churches. So, I told them, “Let us speak; let us talk openly. After going to church for so many years, have you been changed? How have you been changed after going to church for so many years?” They said, “To be frank with you, I have never been changed except that I quit smoking and drinking. In the past I was broad minded but now I’m so narrow minded and I became hard to get along with others.” This Elder, he couldn’t satisfy his heart. Even if he went to prayer meetings, his heart remained the same. So, he went to his church pastor saying, “Oh! Pastor, what should I do? I can’t soothe my heart.” The pastor said, “Ah, regeneration and sanctification is a lifetime work. Don’t worry about it.” But he believed in Jesus for forty five years and the pastor kept on preaching that the end of the world is coming soon. Then, if regeneration and sanctification is a lifetime work, then it must have accomplished almost 90% in his life, but his character remained the same. Instead, he became more hard-hearted. And coming to his pastor saying, “Pastor what must I do? How come my character remains the same?” The Pastor said, “Ah, regeneration and sanctification is a whole time work, so don’t worry about that, just donate the money you pledged last time.” So he sold his house and gave the money to the church again. But in spite of donating it to the church his character remained the same. And he eventually died.

There are lots of people who killed themselves in this manner, even some of you among you here might be killed also if you did not come here. After believing Jesus for 45 years he died. Without having accomplished anything for his character. He only donated everything to the church. And the pastor came on his funeral service saying, “Ah, this elder believed in Jesus for 45 years, and he will be resurrected on the resurrection of the righteous.” And they carried the body to the grave saying, “Let us meet together over the Jordan River.” What a funny life it is. When he was alive, the pastor always lied to him. Even after his death he lied to him again. If you did not come to this place you might have become like this person. This person refers to you. Even after donating everything to church, your character remained the same. 

Like Jesus’ disciples, if you only stay in our Daddy’s bosom for ten days here, you will be given eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to perceive. You will be completely regenerated and come out from this place as a new born complete human being.

Let me tell you one more thing. Do you truly believe the power of our Father who transformed his disciples and the robber on the cross for a moment? If you believe this power, it will be accomplished in your heart. If you say, “He can do it, I believe in Him,” then, His power will accomplish your regeneration and sanctification. So, I hope you will not miss even a single hour. Do not sleep in your room but take your time in this temple here.

The temple here in where you are sitting now is a pretty big temple. If you build this big temple in your churches, you might have been tormented frequently to donate more and more. But I never told you to donate money. Because I knew that all of you had been tormented by your churches in the past, I never want and never tell you to donate money. Only through the donation of our brethren who volunteered to donate their goods, we had built this temple. Let me ask you a question. Which do you think will take a longer time, to build a new temple from the foundation or to fix just something on the roof? That’s too easy question. To fix something on the roof takes only a few minutes.

When our Father begot us in the beginning, how long do you think did it take him to beget us? How long, for ten months? When? On the sixth day, after creating all things, He begot us in just a moment. Do you believe this? In just a moment, He begot us. But when our character became ruined, why does it take too much time for our God to change or renew our character? Why does it take for God to change our character for many years?

Although they are taught and believed in Jesus for so many years, none of them are changed. In spite of their going to church for so many years, they do not even know what is regeneration and sanctification. They cannot even distinguish the difference between the two. When God begot our whole body, it only took Him a moment, then, why should it take long time for Him to regenerate us? Why should we follow God for many years in order to be regenerated? Pastors who are teaching like that, are they changed in spite of attending church so many years? No! Please don’t be fooled by that doctrine but just follow your Daddy.

When it’s so cold, even those trees in the mountain all die. They are frozen to death in winter. But when new year comes, do you think those apple trees and pear tress produce their lives by their own power? It is our Father’s one sided love that resurrects them when spring comes. The tress themselves cannot produce new leaves. Our Father is the One performing miracles and resurrects them the next year. Every year, those trees in the mountain are resurrected.

The seeds sown in the field every year, thousand of acres, they all die but every year God resurrects them, gives them life again from the ground. Then, why can’t those Christians in the world resurrect even one person? Is that a God’s belief or the Devil’s? Is that a God or Devil? It’s devil. Please don’t be fooled by them. If their God is a true God, true Jesus, they must be regenerated completely. Even crops and grains sowed in the ground, they are resurrected every year, so, why can’t they be regenerated after going to church for so many years. As I think about those churches in the world, Oh, I feel so frustrated. Please don’t and never listen to those deceivers’ words. Jesus says, “When the Son of Man comes, few people will be saved, just like in the days of Noah.” But those people say, “Anybody who comes to our church will be saved.” Whose word should you believe?

There are lots of mothers here. Even a feeble woman can create new life for nine months but the God of those churches, only demand money from people and cannot even regenerate them even if they go to church so many years. Please don’t be fooled by those false churches. You are going to meet the true God, our Real Father here. I hope you will be truly sustained by our Daddy in His bosom and be regenerated completely this time. 

Our Real Father Who Has Truly Begotten Us

t

hank you very much. Please open chapter 3, what is the title? Our Real Father Who Has Truly Begotten Us. This real relationship cannot be achieved by adopting somebody and changing the written documents even many times. Even if one makes scores of documents to father a child, he cannot make him his real child. Only a baby who comes out of a parent’s body can be his own child. Only when one begets a child can they be real Father and real Son. So the fact that God is our Real Father, means that He truly begot us with His own body. We have to confirm this certain fact by looking up at the Bible. Please read the genealogy there.

Reader: [Jesus, when He began His ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi... the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalleel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God] (Luke 3:23-38, R.S.V.).

Speaker: Yes, If we trace back our original genealogy, who do you find is our real Father who begot us?

Reader: God

Speaker: Yes, that’s why He is our real Father. To rephrase this,

Reader: “Jesus’ father is Joseph, whose father is Heli, whose father is Matthat, whose father is Levi ... whose father is Noah, whose father is Lamech, whose father is Methuselah, whose father is Jared whose father is Mahalaeel, whose father is Cainan, whose father is Enos, whose father is Seth, whose father is Adam, whose Father is God.”

Speaker: Who is our Real Father?

Reader: God.

Speaker: Yes, God is our Real Father. There is no way to deny this fact. So to put it still in another way, it means that,

Reader: “Jesus’ was born of Joseph, born of Heli, born of Matthat, born of Levi ..., born of Noah, born of Lamech, born of Methuselah, born of Enoch, born of Mahalaleel, born of Cainan, born of Enos, born of Seth, born of Adam, born of God.”

Speaker: Is God our Real Father?

Reader: Amen!

Speaker: Yes, there is no way to deny this fact. If God has not begotten us, then where have we come out from? Since we came out to this world, somebody must have begotten us. Isn’t that right? So this world exists by reality not by any abstract idea. There is a certain fact through which this whole universe exists. Even if we read this way and the other way, this is an undoubted fact that God is our real Father who begot us. Some people say, “Ah, but in Genesis 1:26 God said, [Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness.] How come you say God begot us?” This is a wrong expression in the Bible. One who wrote the Bible made a mistake. Ok, in Genesis 1:26 it says, “Let us make man in our image.” It should have been written this way, “Let us beget man in Our image, after Our likeness.” It was wrongly expressed. However, I don’t have any clear idea whether Moses expressed it the correct way and people mistranslated it or Moses made a mistake. I’m not sure. Anyway, you can find out whether I am in the wrong or the Bible is in the wrong.

In the second chapter, you learned already that the Two God’s abandoned the heavenly throne and came down to this earth suffering all kinds of shame and disgrace in order to save their children here. They even suffered a dreadful agony. Do you believe all of these? Then, can there be a king in the world who will lay down his life in order to find something that he made with his hands? How can he lay down his life for something he made? There cannot be anybody like that. Then, how can the God of heaven and Jesus the Son lay down their lives suffering from such dreadful agony? Why was that? Because we are Their real sons and daughters otherwise, how could They do that? So if we only believe all the sacrifices that our Father and Jesus went through, we can never deny the fact that God is our Real Father. If we were not His real children how could He lay down His life like that? If we have been a piece of sculpture, how could He do that for us?

OK, please look at the chalkboard here. This is the Milky Way to which we belong. This is the Milky Way galaxy. Do you know how high the Milky Way is from the bottom to the top? Do you know how far it is from us? It is 15,000 light years far from us. If we walk even for 15,000 years, it will be a tremendous distance. But if we travel from the top to the bottom with the speed of light, still we need 15,000 light years. Can you imagine how far it is? What about the diameter? It is 100,000 light years. Even if we keep on traveling for thousands of generations, we cannot reach the other end. How many stars are there inside this galaxy? The astronomers discovered a hundred billions stars inside this Milky Way. Then how many galaxies are there in this universe? There are even hundred billions of galaxies like this in the universe. So a while ago, the astronomers declared that it is nonsense to try to understand the size of the universe.

In the Bible it says, [Lift up your eyes and see who made all these things.] Has Confucius made all these things? Has Buddha made this? Has anybody in the universe made this? If you really want to understand the mystery of this universe, you must come to our Father who made them. That’s why our Daddy said in the Bible, that the size of this earth is just like the size of a drop of water floating on the air. Compared to the universe, this earth is just like a drop of water flying in the air, or the grain of sand. Then how big do you think we are? How big do you think the heavenly beings can see us, when we are sleeping here? Probably, the heavenly beings must use a very strong and extremely powerful telescope to find us. They have to look through a microscope in order to find us saying, “There is Mr. So there.” So we are much smaller than Adam. In spite of being so little particle of dust, people pretend to know everything and they are so proud. I hope you just be humble in the sight of God. We are totally ignorant when we stand before God. We must be like little children in the sight of God, the King of the universe. We must humble ourselves and listen to Him with all our empty hearts. We should not be so foolish to be proud of knowing something.

In such a small globe as this earth, there are lots of animals and people who have their babies, then let’s just think about how they have babies respectively animals and birds and people. Among all the animals, the cows are closer to us because they always help us. So let’s think about how cows have babies. The baby cow stays in the womb of the mother for about ten months and come out through the reproductive organ. As they come, they drink a white liquid from their mother’s breast and they grow.

What about flying birds like chickens? The mother hen lays eggs in just one day. She does not keep the eggs inside her egg sect for ten months. She just lays eggs in one day. However, when they come out, they are not like a little baby. They are like just pieces of stone. Then, the mother has to brood on them for about twenty days. So the eggs are born again. In other words, the baby chicken is born twice before coming out to this earth. As soon as they come out, what do they eat? Do they drink milk? No! They eat the same coarse foods that the mother hen eats. Yet, they never complain about indigestion. Now, the way running animals begot their children and the way flying birds have their children, is it similar? No! They are totally different. Even if they try to make them look similar, that is totally impossible. The way running animals have children and the flying animals have children, is completely different. That is why they cannot understand the way they have children respectively. The cows can never understand they way birds have children and the birds can never understand the way cows have children because they are completely different from each other. That is why they are always fighting. They are always arguing with one another for thousands of years now. All those sparrows say, “Hey, look at those cows! Ah, they are not their real children. Look at us. Shouldn’t they also have pretty eggs like ours? How come their little babies come out immediately and they start running as soon as they come out. Ah, they are not their real children.” But the cow also say the same way toward birds, “Hey, look at the birds. How funny it is. How come they lay something like a stone and they say that they are their babies? Should they not have babies like ours, and give them milk like we do.” The running animals and the flying birds always argue with one another because they don’t understand. Even though this earth is so small, so tiny compared to the universe, the way running animals and flying birds beget their offspring is completely different from each other. Then how can we expect the God of heaven who is the King of the universe have the same way of having children as we do? Since He is the creator God, He must have a different way of having children from the way we do. But even though the running animals and flying birds have a complete different way of having children, there is one common characteristic. What? Even though they have a completely different way of having children, the result is the same. In other words, they have babies which exactly resemble their parents, right?

Likewise, the way we have our children and the way God has His children must be completely different from each other. However, there is one common characteristic. The baby who comes out from the mother must resemble his mother or father. Likewise, even though the way our Father, the King of heaven has His children is different, His children must resemble Him. That is one common characteristic even though they have totally different way of having children.

There are lots of teachers today who say, “Ah, human beings evolved from the apes.” Some other people say, “human beings come from amoeba.” There are lots of funny teachings in the world like that. As we learned already, whom do we resemble? We resemble our Father, the King of the universe. Our nose, our face, eyes, ears, our hands, and feet, everything resembles our Father. Why do we resemble Him? Why? Because we are born of Him. That’s why in the book of Psalms God said, “Do you think I am like you? How come you misunderstand me? I have my own children in my own way as you have your own way of having children. But my children resemble me, just as your children resemble you.”

In Malachi 2:10, it says “Do we not have only one Father?” Yes, the entire universe has only one Father. Although they are all different in color, they have only one Father. Although we have different faces and color, we have only one Father. Why? Because we came out from one Father. Even though this earth is extremely small compared to the universe, there are so many different ways of having children. Then how can we foolishly expect our Father to have the same way of having children as we do? It is totally nonsense to expect Him like that. Please read Ps. 2:7.

Reader: [I will declare the decree.]

Speaker: [I will declare the decree,] who is this ‘I’? Do you believe that this ‘I’ is our Father, the King of the universe? The King of the universe has declared this [The Lord has said to Me.] Who is the Lord? Do you believe that ‘the Lord’ refers to the God of the universe who created everything? Do you believe that ‘the Lord’ does not refer to any idea, or any theory? ‘The Lord’ refers to the King of the universe who created heaven and earth. [The Lord has said to Me,] do you believe that our Father is saying to it us, to ‘me’? What did He say?

[You are my son.]

You are my pig? No, [You are my son, my daughter. Go ahead.

Reader: [Today I have begotten you.]

When?

[Today, I have begotten you.] Will you accept this word of our Father? Then, do you now understand why I said that Genesis 1:26 was wrongly expressed? God Himself declared that [I begot you] but in Genesis 1:26, Moses wrote down that God ‘made’ us in His own image. Of course, I said that I’m not sure whether Moses wrote down wrongly or people translated it in a wrong way. In the Bible, God said “I will follow My children down through the ages to teach them in My own way correctly. That’s why in Psalms it says, ‘I have begotten you.’ When God said to David directly that He has begotten him (David), he wrote down that God begot him. When he wrote it down, our Father was so much pleased with that expression.

Let me clarify again about this fact. What I am most afraid of during this meeting is that you sleep this hour. Because this is the most important hour you should never miss even a single word. Please listen carefully. Please look at the chalk board. The biggest one is the sun, the second biggest one is the moon, the smallest one is the earth. This one is a bird and this one is a running animal. Our Father created the sun in the beginning. Do you know that the sun is one million and three hundred thousand times bigger than the earth? Then, do you think that when God created the sun, He made it just like making a snowman in winter? Do you think that to make the sun, our Father rolled a huge lump of mud in the beginning saying, “Ah, how heavy it is,” wiping His sweat on His forehead? Did He make the sun like that? What about the earth? Since the earth is so small, did He flick it with His hand? Since the moon also is so small, did He just toss it with His feet? Did He make the moon like that? How did God make the sun, the moon, and the earth? How did He create them? He just commanded them to be created. Then, has God’s holy body touched them or not? Never! He only commanded them to be created. Right? As soon as He commanded them to be created they all came out. So I hope that you accept this fact. I hope you accept the living God into your heart before going back.

What about the running animals like elephants? Did God our Father make them saying, “Since the elephant’s nose should be longer, I have to pull it out like this. Did He pull out his nose like this? Since the hippopotamus has a flat mouth, did he push it like this? How did God make all those animals? He only commanded all of them to be created. Even thousands of animals and birds, He only commanded them to be created and they all came out. Has our Father’s holy body touched them? No. God’s holy body has never touched them at all. As He commanded them, they all came in obedience. What about people, us, who are much smaller than the sun, the earth, the moon and the running animals like cows and elephants? Did He command us to be created? No! Please read Genesis 2:7.

Reader: [The Lord God formed man out of the dust on the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Speaker: Yes, our Father formed man with the dust of the ground with His own hands. As He formed Adam, He formed him exactly like Him with His hands. From His nose, eyes, abdomen, his legs, his feet, his hands, our Father formed him exactly like Him with the dust of the ground. When our Father made everything else in the world, He was not as happy as when He formed Adam. Our Father was so happy and singing when He was forming Adam. After forming him completely, He looked at him. As He looked at him, he seemed to just spring to his feet saying, “Daddy.” Even though he was not yet breathing, he seemed to be alive completely because He formed him perfectly. Adam looked so beautiful. Why? Because He formed him exactly like Him.

Do you know how nicely the sculptor makes things? I once saw a turtle which was made by a very famous person. As I looked at it, it seemed to be a real living one. So people who saw the turtle was fooled by it. Everybody thought that it was a living turtle. So people brought two living turtles from the sea and put them next to it. Then they let everyone distinguish which one is the living one. Most people said that the living one was the dead one and the dead one was the living one. Everybody became so surprised. How can people, how can human make things so perfectly and nicely? Even if you go to flower stores, people today make artificial flowers so nicely. Some fake flowers are even more beautiful than the real flowers. That’s why when people go to flower shops, they say, “Oh, why don’t you smell the fragrance? It’s so nice!” People say, “Oh, yes. It’s so nice but there is no fragrance.” Because they make fake flowers so nicely, they are fooled by it. They only think that beautiful fragrance come out from it.

Since human beings can make things so perfectly and beautifully, how much more our Father must be able to make something. That is why, as our Father formed Adam, he seemed to be really a living person. He was extremely beautiful. Then, why did our Father formed Adam with His hands? There is a reason. Because God is a Spiritual Being, He could not have a physical child. So in order to bear a physical child, He prepared some soil from the ground. We are physical beings, that is why we cannot bear spiritual children. That is why, in the same way, our Father prepared some dirt. After forming him, He held him in His arms and [breathed into His nostrils the breath of life; and he became a living soul.] Our Father kissed him saying, “You are my son, today I begot you.” From the depth of His heart, He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and he became a living soul.

So our life was not a created. Our life existed since eternal days ago from the body of our Father. The life we have is not that which was created but that which we received from our Father. Everything else in the world has never been touched by our Father, by God. What about our body? From top to the bottom, our whole body was touched by God. That’s why God said, “My children on the earth, they are My most precious children. They are my noble children in whom is all My delight. You are my sons, you are my daughters. All My delights are centered upon you.” So whose lips did our lips touch first? Our lips touched our Father’s lips first. So we should not let anybody touch our lips. We should not kiss anybody in the world. We should not let anybody touch our cheeks. Our body, our cheeks touched our Father’s cheeks first. So we must behave ourselves as the most holy and noble people because our body touched our Father’s body first. Even though we used to live like beasts in the past, now, we must behave ourselves as God’s noblest and holiest children. You should never behave yourselves like beasts from now on. You should never go to those kinds of foul places in the world like prostitutes. If a president’s son goes to prostitutes places, can the president come out to the people? No. He must come down. Since we are the sons and daughters of the Heavenly King, we must behave ourselves as the noblest, holiest, and the most dignified people.

Has our body touched God’s body or not? Yes, we have. Then what does ‘real child’ mean? The bird’s eggs only touched the little part of the mother’s egg sect and just came out and they became real children. Although the egg did not touch the whole body of the mother hen, the fact that the egg touched just a little part of the mother’s body before coming out to this earth, it is regarded as real child. It is the same with running animals. Just because the little baby cow touched the little part of the mother’s womb before coming out to this earth, he became a real child. What about humans? We people also, just because the baby touched the little part of the mother’s womb before coming out to this earth, the baby is a real child. So whatever part it may be, if the baby only touches the mother’s womb before coming out, then he is a real child. Everything in the universe has not touched our Father’s body before being created, but what about us? Nothing but us has touched our Father’s body before coming out to this earth. The eggs touch the mother’s egg sect, the baby of running animals touches the little part of the mother’s womb, and people also touch a little part of the mother’s womb. That’s why they are real children, but what about us? We were all touched by God’s holy body that’s why we are derivative of our Father’s body. Do you understand?

You must listen very carefully this hour. This is the very hour that determines your eternal fate. Depending on whether you accept this real truth or deny this and accept the worldly teaching, your eternal fate will be determined. Your fate will be determined depending on whether you choose to be just drifted away by the water of the heresy of the world or by the real teaching of heaven. So, I am most afraid of your sleeping this hour. You must listen very carefully and you have to choose whether to accept this or not.

Then [God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and he became a living soul.] So our life was not created but it came to us from the body of God. He touched us and we received His life, just as a baby receives life from his mother’s bosom. Just like the baby cow who received life from the mother’s bosom, we also received life from our Father directly. Then, we became a living soul. Living soul means a God with a physical body. What is a child of a rabbit? Yes, it’s a baby rabbit. What is a child of a chicken? It‘s a baby chicken. What is the child of a cow? It’s a baby cow. What about the child of a human? He’s also a human. What about us? If we are God’s real children, then what are we? We are gods! We did not know such a tremendous fact. We have been trampled by Satan, by his false teaching up to now. However our Father said, “Oh! My delight is centered upon my children who were born of Me?”

Even though I am working in the mountain as a farmer, as a woodsman, I always remember how holy and noble person I am. That is why I never join the works of those wicked people of the world. I always do my best to live as a noble Son of God. So when the physical god was born, all the heavenly beings exclaimed for joy. Hasn’t the Bible already said that all of the children of God in the universe exclaimed for joy when we were born? If a piece of sculpture was made then, why should they be so happy? Why should they exclaim like that? Why should they be overjoyed like that? Because the youngest children were born of God, all the heavenly beings were overjoyed. So you must behave yourselves as the most holy and noblest children of God.

Since I teach people like this, do you know what those so called theologians in the world say? They say, “Ah, because Park Myung Ho did not study theology, he so ignorant. The Bible says that God made not only man but also animals with the dust of the ground, how come he said that only man was begotten by God?” Then has our Father made those animals and birds with His hands, with the dust of the ground? Of course in Genesis 2:19 the Bible says, that God also made them out of the ground but He did not form them with His hands. He only commanded them to be created from the same ingredients of the ground but He did not form them with His hands. Only us, nothing but us were formed by His hands being touched by His holy body. Of course those animals and birds also have skin, bone, and blood just as we do. But if you regard their bones, their blood and their bodies as the same as our, it is a fatal mistake. Even though those dogs, pigs and cows have skin, bones, and blood, theirs are completely different from ours. Although they were made from the same ingredients, they were created by God’s words. But we were born of Him, our body is derived from His body. So we are His derivatives.

Those running animals, flying birds, and dogs were made to be our toys to make us happy. They are not God’s children. We also make toys for our children. We make some kind of motors inside then put batteries in them to make them move and our children are happy. Likewise, our Father animated them in order to make us happy. But instead of making motor and put batteries inside them, our Father animated them in the beginning by giving them life. However, their life is completely different from our life.

Before a mother would have a baby, the parents prepare diapers, the baby’s play things and everything in the room. After preparing everything for their child then they have their baby. Likewise, our Father created everything before begetting us in the beginning. That’s why the bodies of animals are completely different from ours. Even though they breathe the same as we do, we should never regard them as the same with us. It is a most fatal mistake to regard them as the same with us.

So, our life has existed since eternal days ago which was in the body of God. Our life was not created; we only received His life from Him. When the Bible says that God created animals, we can just accept it literally. However, when the Bible also says that He created people, we have to accept it as ‘He begot us.’ Because human language is not perfect, sometimes, the Bible says that God created us but we have to accept it as ‘He begot us.’

Satan, our enemy, the enemy of God and His children, is determined to destroy all of God’s children by preventing them from coming to God. He prepared three huge snares to destroy them all. Nobody in the world can escape from these snares. But only those who escape from those three snares of Satan can go up to heaven.

One of the sages in China once said that the human race is captured by several snares and only those who escape from those snares can live forever as an immortal being. He mentioned that the first snare is liquor, drinking. Of course we can get out from liquor and we can just avoid drinking it. It’s no problem. He said that the next one is sex. However, if you say that it’s a sin and if we do not have sex at all then, the human race will disappear completely in just about one generation. So it’s nonsense. The third snare he mentioned is money, riches. It is not a sin but all people became captivated by it. So, he said that only those who get out from those snares can be immortal saints. But there are some people who can easily get out of them with no problem. Who are they? Only God’s real sons and daughters. Those who are truly born of God can escape from them with no problem. I am not trying to explain about what he said. What I am only trying to explain right now is about the three snares that Satan made in order to destroy God’s children in these last days. Because he made these snares, nobody can get out of it. All the theologians, doctors, professors, politician they all got into these snares. Nobody can get out of it. However, only those who can get out of these snares can go to heaven as immortal saints.

So we have been all ensnared by these, we were all fallen into these snares. Then, what are these snares? All of these snares are atheism but created by different people. The first atheism was created by atheists (non Christians, unbelievers.) That is the first snare. The second snare is also an atheism but created by xylophedians (those who acknowledge that there is God.) The third snare is an atheism created by creationists who believed that God created everything. Then, what are these three snares? What do these mean? The first snare,

1. Atheism of atheists - was created by those atheists in the world who do not know God and Jesus. They say, “There is no God, no Jesus, nothing. There is no God but the human race evolved from the ape or from the amoeba or whatever. Anyhow, we came from just something and we are just going away. We are just disappearing if we die.” This is what those worldly teachers in those schools teach. This is how they destroy all our lovely sons and daughters. In schools, they teach their students, “Hey! Compare these skeletons of monkeys and humans. They are so similar. So, human race evolved from the ape.” That is how they teach that they cannot come to God, that there is no God. They say that they have nothing to do with God. All our sons and daughters are destroyed by those false teachers of the world. If they learned from them and grew big, they also become professors in those schools teaching the same theory to people. Those so called schools in the world are destroying all of God’s children now. God’s most precious children are being destroyed by those false teachers in the world, by this first snare. Those people also become ministers and congressmen or president. The second snare,

2. Atheism of the cilopedians - was created by Protestant theologians. Through Protestant theologians, Satan made a snare saying, “There was a God, but He is dead now.” Why? Because He got too old. Majority of theologians in the world today teach that God was alive but He died of old age. Why? Because even though they pray, there is no answer. That’s why they say that God is dead. Since God is such a finite being, can anybody who listened to their doctrine come to God? Through this second snare, Satan destroys all people by preventing them from coming to God. This is the second snare. The third snare,

3. Atheism of creationists - was created by those who believe that God created everything. This was created by the Seventh-Day Adventists people. They say that God created man in the same way as He created animals. So we are the same sort of creatures like the cows, pigs and dogs. So anybody who listens to them cannot come to the bosom of our Father. Why? Because God is only a Creator, whom we cannot approach. He is the creator and we are just creatures just like animals so how can we approach Him? Through these snares, Satan destroyed all of God’s children for six thousand years up to now. That is why all of these three snares, all these false teachings of Satan must be completely eradicated from our heart. Right now is the very moment you are freed from these snares and become immortal beings to live forever with our Father. We must be embraced in our Father’s bosom by escaping from these snares.

This place, at first, was called Noah’s Ark Missionary Institute which was owned by Pastor Nam. At that time, I was surprised when I heard that there was a place called Noah’s ark. “Ah, is there Noah’s ark today? So, as I came here, this place looked like a Noah’s ark. There was one family living here, running this place. So they invited me to come here for them to listen to this message. At that time, pastor Nam was an elder. They were planning on listening to this message with only their family members and some other friends, about twenty people. Because all the religions in the world became corrupt and rotten, his family was trying to live according to God’s Word. They used to teach people to live according to God’s Word. So his family was living here just striving to live according to God’s Word. At that time, there was no song book, no Eternal Life book like this. I was only spreading this message by myself with nothing. But our Father gathered people Himself. Because this is God’s Word, He was doing His work Himself. So, they thought that they were going to have a meeting with about twenty people but as I came here, there showed up about ninety people. Ninety people suddenly showed up here and there was no room big enough to hold them. How could his family feed them for ten days? They had no idea how to do it. There was only a small room which could accommodate only about fifteen people. However, when the meeting started, those ninety seven people all got into the room. They all squeezed into the room anyhow. I thought that many people would be sitting outside but everybody came in. It was about a week’s seminar at that time. It was at the beginning of this work.

About seven days later, the SDA pastors and elders came here to destroy this meeting. As soon as they came, they called elder Nam and his wife saying, “Hey, you are an elder of SDA church. How come you invited a heretic and have a meeting here? You have to chase him.” So Elder Nam and his wife said, “As we listened to His message for seven days, we now became assured that this is the real and true message from heaven. So you must listen to this first.” As they tried to destroy this, they were even surprised with that attitude. As they found that they could not change their minds, they just called me saying, “Hey, let Park Myung Ho come up here. Hey, Myung Ho Park, come up here!” How could this Son of God obey the words of those people who do not even know God? It was so funny. Then I prayed, “Father, shall I come to them or not?” So my Father told me, “Why don’t you just go up to them? I am going to let you defeat them just like one person.” Every time there was God’s fight, our Father always made His children destroy all enemies just like one person. Because my Father told me to go up there, I just went up there. There was a small room and there were 14 pastors and elders who came. Including Bro. Nam couple, there were sixteen of them in the room. As I got into the room, there was no place for me to sit so they told me to sit right in the middle. They probably regarded me as a honey pot to be set right in the middle of the table. So I just sat down. One of the pastors began to argue with me. What he said was so infantile, so childish so I could not even communicate with him. They themselves found that it was too childish. Somebody else said,

“Hey, why don’t you talk with me then?”

So I said, “Go ahead then.”

He said, “I heard that you teach people that God begot us through His womb, is that right?”

I said, “Of course, why not?”

“Then, do you think that God created people in the same way as He created cows, pigs, and dogs?”

He said, “Of course!”

So I continued, “Then, why should we only call God, ‘Father, Father? Why should not cows, pigs, and dogs also call God ‘Father, Father?” Should not pigs also call God Father saying, “Oink, oink, Father, Father?” Why should we only call God, ‘Father, Father?”

This is the most tremendous blasphemy against God. What a blasphemous people they are. You should never be fooled by them. You should never commit blasphemy like that. They are regarding God as the same Father of cows, pigs, and dogs. They are disgracing God like that. You should never be fooled by their false teachings. As I gave this question to them, they all became speechless. Fourteen of them could not open their mouth. The mouth of everybody became completely shut up. If God created us in the same way as cows, pigs, and dogs, He must be a Father of cows, pigs, and dogs also. They all became speechless and they all rose up saying, “Let’s just go back.” Just as my Father has said, I defeated them just like one person. My Father’s word was just fulfilled. As I looked at their back when they were going away, they looked so pitiful. They were the very people who were supposed to receive this message and spread it to the world. Because they rejected it, because they became mediums of Satan, our Father had to choose an ignorant person like me who is uneducated in the world. As I looked at them, I became so choked with tears. Why should they be mediums of Satan like that? Why should our Father work through somebody like me? As I looked at them, they looked so pitiful. I became so frustrated.

So through these snares, Satan taught all people that there is no God. Through the first snare he said, “There is no God. Human race evolved from the ape or from the amoeba.” If this is true that people evolved from the ape, then there must be some kind of instance like this today also. Monkeys must become men these days also. There must be great news on TV or radio saying, “Ah, in such a place in Africa, the monkeys are becoming men right now.” There must be news like this, “Amoeba is becoming a man right now. But even if thousand of years pass by, people are people and monkeys are monkeys.

Second snare: Through protestant theologians, they teach that God was alive but He is dead now.

The third snare, through the creationists (SDA), they teach people that God is the Father of cows, pigs, and dogs also. We cannot even dare approach Him. We must just bow down before Him. We cannot be embraced in His bosom. We have to call Him, ‘Almighty God’ submitting to Him. Then how can anybody be embraced in His bosom and live with Him forever. If we fear Him, how can we live with Him forever? We must escape from all these three snares of Satan. I hope you be God’s real sons and daughters who escape from all of these and live with Him forever.

Long time ago, when I was young, my parents told me to just leave home because they hated Jesus. So I just left home and went to an orphanage to work there. As I went to the orphanage, all the orphans there call the director ‘father’ and his wife, ‘mother.’ As I went there the first time, it was beautiful. Everybody was calling him ‘father’ and his wife ‘mother.’ Few days later, I saw the director beating them up so mercilessly. So I said, “Why do you have to beat them up so cruelly?” He said, “Children like these must be beaten up, otherwise they will not be corrected.” I was so surprised. On the previous day, I was amazed with their beautiful way of calling them but the next day, I was surprised with his cruel treatment of them. Ok, even though everybody called him ‘father’ and ‘mother,’ who will inherit their inheritance? Who will have the birthright? Only their real sons and daughters. Only the real children who were born of them will inherit their possessions. Even though the orphans called them ‘father’ and mother’, it is of no use. It is the same with us.

When my father died, four of his sons were all crying. When we were crying, there showed up somebody whom we did not know. He was crying with us. As I looked at him, he was his foster son. However, he did not receive any inheritance when my father died. He gave everything to only four of us. So only real children can receive the birthright, the inheritance, and everything. Foster children are not given any inheritance. How do Christian world today call God? They call God ‘Father.’ Yes, how beautiful it is. Then, does our Father give His possessions to them? No! Why? Because they are not His real children. Do you understand?

Galatians 4:30, 31. [Nevertheless what does the scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.]

Yes. [Nevertheless what does the] Bible [say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”] This is about Abraham’s two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Isaac was born of Sarah, his true wife. He was born with the pure blood of his real father and mother. Ishmael was born of Abraham’s blood with the blood of one his slaves. That is why his blood was not pure blood. So when the time came, it was declared, [Cast out the bondwoman and her son] Ishmael, [for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.’] Why the Bible does recorded this story? Not merely to tell us an interesting story but to teach us that this history must be fulfilled in the last days. The entire Christian world today all call God, ‘Father, Father.’ Then, who begot them? Our Father begot them but whose blood do they have? Their blood is mixed with the blood of servants of the Lord. They all call themselves, ‘servants of God.’ So their blood is mixed with the blood of servants. That is why God said, “Cast out the bondwoman and her children.” Only the children of the freewoman, the children of the real father and mother will inherit the kingdom.

So when Jesus came also, our Father and Jesus forsook the entire Christian world at that time. Jesus said to just few of His disciples, “Do not be afraid. Do not fear them for your Father is pleased to give His kingdom to you alone.” He will give His inheritance to you alone. Do you believe that His declaration is fulfilled here also? This is not merely a lecture to be heard with joy. This is the lecture which will determine our eternal fate. So all those people whose blood is mixed with the blood of servants shall be cast out. Only those who have the pure blood of our Father will inherit His Kingdom.

Although all the orphans called the director, ‘father,’ only his real children inherit everything. Likewise, we must be His real children with no mixture of blood of servants of God in the world. Do you know what is the biggest wish of Christians in the world today? Every time they have children, do you know what they say? “Ah, I wish my child will be a servant of God.” Why? Because if only one becomes a servant of God, pastors or clergymen, they live very wealthy life. They don’t have to work so hard. They only go around. They can just preach sometimes and go anywhere traveling. If they just behave themselves, then lots of money keeps coming to them. It is so nice occupation. What a nice job. I hope you be happy for not having made your children servants of God. Why? For the servants of God cannot be saved. Servants cannot be saved. No matter how hard they work, they are servants. They do not receive any inheritance. No matter how diligent a servant maybe, can the owner of the house give his inheritance to him? No! Even if he lives or dies, he is a servant. Even if he plays or work hard, he is a servant. What about the real child? Even if he always plays around, even if he does not do anything, he is a real child. He receives all the inheritance from his father no matter what happens. No matter how smart a congressman or a minister maybe, the king does not give his throne to them. The king gives his throne to only his son. Why cannot the slave be saved? What did He say in John 8:35.

[The slave does not abide in the house forever.]

Yes, [The slave does not abide in the house forever.]

[But a son abides forever.]

Yes, only a real child will abide forever. Who said this?

Jesus.

God’s servants can never enter heaven.

Galatians 5:1. [Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.]

Yes. Therefore, stand fast and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Do you understand? Many pastors came this time. I hope you never be treated as servants of God but be real sons of God. Then, you will be the very heirs of heaven.

If anybody prays for me in public saying, “Oh, Father, please give blessing to the servant of God on the pulpit.” I feel so upset. I never want to be called a ‘servant of God.’ But if anybody prays for me saying, “Oh, Father, please give blessing and health to your Son on the pulpit.” Then I feel so happy. I want to say, “Amen, Amen.” So I hope you be true sons and daughters of God and inherit all things of heaven.

From now on, when you pray in public, I hope you call God, ‘Real Father’ or ‘Daddy.’ Of course in the world, children do not call their parents, “Real father.’ They never call their parents like that. Then, why did I tell you to call God, ‘Real Father or Daddy?’ It is because we have been dragged and brain-washed by Satan so we have to break it into pieces. I told you to call Him ‘Father’ to emphasize that you are God’s real sons and daughters. How come you don’t say ‘Amen’? If you are ashamed to call Him ‘real Father’ then you don’t have to. I am going to call Him ‘real Father’ only by myself. What did Jesus say? If you are ashamed to confess that you are God’s real child and God is your real Father, then I will also be ashamed to call you ‘My real child.’ But if you are not ashamed to call Me your ‘real Father’, then I will not be ashamed to call you ‘My real child’ also in the presence of the heavenly beings.

In old times, there was a farmer in Korea who did not receive any education in the world. He was a farmer who had to work hard all his lifetime. So he made a strong decision never to make his child a farmer but to give him the best education to find the best job without physical labor. Because he was a farmer, it was extremely hard to make money for his school tuition. Of course it was not that hard for those people who own big businesses to send their children to university but it is extremely hard for farmers to just do farming to make money for their school tuition. So this man went through so many hardships to send his child to university. He was just living like a beggar without being able to eat good food, without being able to wear nice suit. He gave all his money to his son. After graduation, his son got a job in the city hall.

One day, the mayor of the city visited his house. As the city mayor was drinking in the living with this son, his father came into the house. Because he was working in the farm, his body was completely full of mud. As he looked at his father, his father was exactly like a beggar. So the mayor asked him, “Who is that?” He felt so ashamed to say that he was his father. His prestige will be ruined if he would say that. So even though he felt a little bit bad, he said, “Ah, he is one of our farm servants.” After the mayor went back, he found out that he lied. So the mayor immediately called him saying, “I know the story about your father. In order to send you to university, your father had gone through all kinds of hardships. He could not eat good food, could not wear good suit. How come you said that your father is one of your farmer servants? Our city hall does not need anybody like you.” Then, the city mayor fired him. I hope you do not be ashamed of calling God your ‘real Father. If you go back home, people in your churches will say,

“Where have you been?”

“Oh, I have been to Elijah Gospel Missionary Institute.”

“What? How come you came to that heretic place?”

Then you can just say, “Yes, I have met my real Daddy there. What is wrong with that?” As somebody who attended this meeting went back home, he shouted to his children, “Oh, my children. I met my real Daddy.” He was at a loss how to express his joy of having met our real Daddy.

During the battle in Korea, many families were broken. Many years later, they were able to meet each other. That moment, they were at a loss how to express their joy for having found their mother and father. Why should we remain so calm like this?

Scores of years ago, North Korea took South Korea airplane. Terrorists from North Korea came down and they took away the airplane with lots of passengers inside. So all their family members and friends in South Korea were crying, “Oh, my father! Oh, my mother! Oh, My son!” They were kidnapped by the terrorists of North Korea. So the terrorists took everything valuable and sent back the passengers barehanded. These days, the economy of North Korea is extremely bad. That is probably one of the reasons why they took the plane and everything good from them. However, even though the passengers were just coming out with bare hands, their family members became so overjoyed running to them.

So there was a couple running to meet their son. As their son was coming to them, they were so happy and hugged him. The mother and father were hugging him saying, “Oh my son, you came back safely.” However, instead of saying, “Yes mom, I came back,” he was just quiet. He did not say anything. He looked like crazy. He was just looking at them without saying anything. So the parents said, “Why don’t you call me ‘father’? What happened to you? What is wrong with you?” Because he received electric shocks in North Korea, he became mentally ill. He became a dummy. As we came to our Daddy also, He is so overjoyed now as He saw our physical bodies. But after coming to Him, if we do not say anything to Him, we will be the same as that person. Why don’t you say, “Daddy, now I came to you.” Then, He will embrace you in His bosom and He will be overjoyed.

Before Jesus came, all people were so much afraid of God. Why? Because they learned about God in a false way from those Jewish leaders who used to teach them, “You must call God ‘Almighty God. You should not call Him, ‘real Father’. But when Jesus came, He taught them to call God, Father.

Our heavenly Father too has redeemed our beautiful faces and bodies in this hour. Yet, how distressed He would be if we did not return to Him in our hearts and call Him, "Real Daddy"! Let us joyfully go out to our real Father whom we have met for the first time in thousands of years and call Him "Daddy," and say, "Daddy, I'm here."”(John 5:18, Gal. 4:6, Korean Common Translation Bible) Our Father does not want money, worship, or anything else from us. Just hearing us calling Him, "Real Daddy!" in our hearts will suffice. Then, He will say, "Yes, I'm your real Father who begot you," and embrace us tightly. He will be so happy He will not know what to do.

In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus said, "Our Father in heaven...." Before Jesus came to this earth two thousand years ago, no one in the world had ever offered such a prayer. The Jews, the rabbis, and the priests in Jerusalem prayed in formality, "High and lofty God," or "Almighty God."

However, Jesus came and taught His disciples, "Do not pray like that. Instead, pray, 'Our Father in heaven,' or 'My Father.'" For four thousand years, God had become weary of those formal and abominable prayers. When His real children prayed, "Our Father," it is written that it sounded like music to His ears. Though such a large order as the Jews called out day and night, there was no answer to their prayers. However, when Jesus' small group prayed in the upper room, God answered them immediately because they prayed in a way that pleased Him. That was how they were able to receive the amazing, great blessing of the Holy Spirit descending on the Pentecost. Even when we say, "Our Father," it sounds like music to His ears; if His last children call Him "Real Daddy," it will probably sound like a canon to Him. Real Daddy will immediately embrace His youngest children and say, "Yes, ['You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased. You are My Son, today I have begotten you.']" (Luke 3:22, Psa. 2:7) My beloved brothers and sisters, I hope all of you will be able to experience this joyful, touching reunion.

[Therefore, do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.... For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry.] (Heb. 10:35, 37) In just a while, we will hear the most joyful and blessed news from heaven-- [Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom (new world) prepared for you from the foundation of the world.] (Mat. 25:34) I sincerely hope that on that day, we will all meet each other happily as real brothers and sisters, real sons and daughters of our Father, happy heavenly princes and princesses who enjoy immortal life in our Father's Kingdom, the new world for eternity.

Prayer

My real Father who has begotten me and raised me,

[Doubtless, You are our Father. Though Abraham (long ago) was ignorant of us, and (present-day) Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Lord, are our (real) Father....] (Isa. 63:16)

Until now, I have wandered for so long without knowing that the great God is my real Father. I endured so much thinking that my father, my ancestor, was a monkey. I also wandered thinking that I was just a worthless handicraft the fearful God, the almighty God who rules the universe, made out of dirt--a worthless human-animal that had been created in the same way the cows, pigs and dogs were. Now that I have discovered that I was born a royal prince (princess) by the King of the universe, I cannot express how happy and grateful I am.

I render eternal gratitude and praise to my real Daddy and to Your Son, the Intercessor (Matchmaker) who helped me find You.

Real Daddy! Even if I were to die right now, I would have no regrets because I have found You.

Father! My Father! I will never leave Your bosom again so please never let go of me; just embrace me tightly. You do not know how much I wandered after leaving Your bosom, how much I regretted in tears. Oh, my loving Daddy! Please hold my hands tightly and do not let go until I reach Your eternal home. I render eternal gratitude, praise, and worship to my Lord, the Comforter, who is here with me, and to my real Daddy who loves me the most.
