Please reaad the following important words of Jesus Christ from the spiritual world:
"If you wish to call my sheep you must let them know you love me. Then they can trust you. They are afraid of you. Many times they are afraid of you. Because they are afraid you do not like me. They are afraid you are a wolf in sheep's clothing. But they know the power of my name. So if you say with pride and confidence, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus," the Christians will follow you gladly. This is the key. This is the magic word to open their hearts.
And you must say proudly the name of you True Parents. This is the key that will open the highest realms of Heaven. So if you go with that spiritual authority to the Christian world, to the highest realms of Heaven, my sheep cannot resist you. As our Lord Heung Jin Nim said, they will see you are fat and well-fed. They will see you with their spiritual eyes. They will follow you to the waterhole. They will know that where you are, there is good food. That where you are, there is life."
Pg 63 in "The victory of love".

Please read some excerpts of In Jin Nim's very profound and enlightening sermon from 5.2.2012. She explains how we can bring about the complete victorious liberation of True Parents:
The new stage our True Parents are claiming, now that we have liberated God, is the era of the complete victorious liberation of the True Parents of heaven, earth and humankind.
Just exactly what are our True Parents telling all of us? ... they are telling us, just as our True Parents came to liberate God, it is high time that we as beautiful and perfect children of God should take it upon ourselves to perfect ourselves and be in the position to really liberate our True Parents .....
... being perfect doesn’t mean you don’t do anything wrong ...
When it is written in the Bible that, “You therefore, must be perfect, just as God or Heavenly Father is,” the text is talking about the spirit that dwells in every one of us and our ability to embody, to imbue, to inherit God’s spirit. We are meant to be a divine son or daughter of God .....
So the Bible and our True Father are reminding us that we’re not just dust in the wind, and we’re not just sinful, pathetic, hopeless children who have to live a miserable life because we’re not worthy. Father and the Bible are teaching all of us is that we are divine and prepared human beings, eternal sons and daughters of God who are worthy of being God’s object partners .....
Similarly, regardless of how well-meaning we all are, if we don’t understand or we don’t feel the importance of thinking not just about what we know but also about how we need to live our lives, then we can never really become a successful or complete child of God. When I ask myself, “How do I go about becoming that perfect child of God?” I remind myself of a couple of things. First, I tell myself, “Don’t think only about what you know or what I know, but think about how I’m going to live.” Most of us, I think, by the time we reach adulthood, have gone through different workshops and have read the Divine Principle from front to back many times. We know the stuff. We know the Principle, we understand, and we have been taught well in terms of our knowledge of the Principle.
But being a perfect child of God doesn’t mean that the only thing we need to do is to know the Principle. What we need to do is not just concentrate on what we know, thinking, “We know the truth. We know the greatest truth,” and therefore feel especially good about ourselves. We need to think about not just what we know but how we are living ...
“Don’t Just Obey: Inherit”
... God and True Parents want something that is a little bit more satisfying and fulfilling. They don’t want their children to just obey. They are hoping for us to inherit everything that they are imparting upon us, sharing with us and make it fully our own by exercising our 5-percent responsibility.
Becoming Proactive Children of God
When I think about, “How do I go about becoming a child of God?” I say to myself, “Do not just follow, but think about contributing and being proactive.” ....
This [Lovin' Life ministry] is not about In Jin Moon being the next megachurch leader.... My job is to inspire, support, and nurture all of you ...
Today we need to remind ourselves that it’s not just about following – and we do that very well; we obey and follow so well as a legacy of the survival mentality from our time in the wilderness. But we are now in the Era of Settlement. We need to think more about how we live, how we inherit, how we become proactive, eternal sons and daughters of God who contribute back to our community and in so doing create a better world ....
Many of us have seen True Father as a charismatic leader. Many of us were so busy following and obeying that we did not take the time to work on ourselves, to become a mature, independent, thinking eternal son or daughter of God. That’s why we are suffering ....
Every father and mother who has a child does not want the child to be the kind of person who is forever dependent on the parents ....
The way we can truly liberate our True Parents is to become capable and independent, but not in a negative way, meaning you don’t want anything to do with anybody. No, we want to show our independence by lifting the burdens off our True Father and True Mother .... This is how we liberate our True Parents completely and victoriously, brothers and sisters....
Building a Family Spirit
We are a family, and we need to start acting like a family ....
This year we have to work on building a family spirit ....
... this is the time when we must start exercising our five-percent responsibility by being that perfect child of God who is mature, confident, and competent because we have taken the time to work on ourselves....
We need to inherit and make it ours, not wait for the horns of destiny to be steered by somebody else. It’s ours to steer ....
I think it’s high time, and I think that’s what our True Parents are talking about when they proclaim the Era of the Complete Victorious Liberation of our True Parents. This is a call for all of us not just to obey and follow and be the immature child who always needs to be supervised and reined in. We need to be the competent, inspired, empowered young adults, eternal sons and daughters of God ,,,
“True Parents Are the Messiah”
... for the last 20 years all we emphasized was movement, and that is the reason many of our second-generation are no longer here ... If you don’t have that strong inner core, it doesn’t matter how great the service work we do may be; nobody really knows what we’re all about.
For the last 20 years we were often afraid to say, “We are the Unification Church. We are proud Unificationists. True Parents are the messiah, and guess what? It’s time to go the Blessing and graft onto their heavenly lineage!”
I remember when I first started the ministry, several people said to me, “You can’t preach that True Father is the messiah. You can’t say that so openly.” I said, “Why not? Do we not live it? Do we not breathe it? Do you think that the only thing we need to do is know it and keep it in some kind of a bunker or a secret safe somewhere? No. The job of the breaking news is to share it, proclaim it, partake of it, and celebrate the fact that our True Parents are here with us.
For the last 20 years our movement has been like this huge, amorphous amoeba. It was huge in terms of its ability to cover things. We’ve touched a lot of things. We’ve spent lots of money. But because we lost that strong foundation of who we are, we lost our identity as proud Unificationists knowing we come from great parents like True Parents, then we didn’t have a backbone. We weren’t proud of who we were. We were hiding in the shadows, wondering whether we should say we’re Unificationists or not ...
So the answer is, “The church is the inner core.” Yes, we are a church, but yes, we’re also a movement. But if we only emphasize the good works or the service projects without bringing it back to God, True Parents, and our tradition, then all the work we do is meaningless. Because how are we different from any other service organization or movement out there? We are profoundly different in that we have our True Parents. We have our inner core, and that’s why the united ministry of the church is essential to the work that we need to do to share in the breaking news....
Valuing the Horizontal and the Vertical
If you’re serving only God and True Parents because that’s the only thing that matters to you, well, then you’re not being a perfect or complete or absolute child of God because you’re neglecting the horizontal. We have to attend God and True Parents vertically, but we also have to attend each other and support each other. That’s how we create a beautiful family and a beautiful culture....
Living a Life of Real Love
So let’s be proud of what we’ve accomplished thus far and think about how much more we can accomplish when all of us do not simply obey, follow, and concentrate on what we know. Imagine what we can be as a community, as a movement, and as a family if we start thinking about how to live while inheriting and making our destinies our own, making our faith our own.
If we start thinking about not just following along what everybody else is doing, but being proactive and contributing, we can look around us to see how we can volunteer, how we can help, how you can inspire others with our creativity that’s given uniquely to us by God in our divinity.
We’re talking about not just talking the talk but really living that real love. When I say real love, I mean something that is truthful, genuine, and real, not something that is superficial and looks good but doesn’t yield anything ....

And here an important word of True Father:
"I want you to become subject, and out of your own desire take the initiative with no one forcing you to do anything ... I never want to feel that you are just following my instructions, but rather that you have really perfected yourself in the image of God on your own initiative."
The way of tradition, Volume 2 (out of the speech "The ones who can receive God's love", 10.1.77)
Love from Bruno
