Grace Workshop - Why Should I Go - It's From The Heart
Michael Jenkins
February 9, 2007
Dear Family,
The Registration for the Grace workshop is going very well. Many Districts are reporting more families signed up than they had records of in their districts!! Should everyone go? Yes, every family is hereby requested and given a central direction that if they are or ever have been blessed, regardless of circumstances they should go. Father is asking each and every blessed member directly to come to receive God's True Love.
Why? To comfort God's heart. God is the one who once chose each one of us. There are so many incredible people in the world. God loves everyone; however he meticulously invested in certain lineages and individuals from all races, backgrounds, religions, social positions, backgrounds and nations who responded to his heart. Through generations many continued to respond and generation after generations some lines became very steady in their response. Sometimes it is well hidden that a certain lineage would be the one chosen; it has so much to do with heart, not with external accomplishments. God chose us because of our hearts.
Look at David when Samuel was sent by God to Jesse's family to find the future King. All the handsome accomplished sons were brought forth. David wasn't even considered. Samuel felt there was another person there that must come forth. Then Jesse brought David and Samuel heard the voice of God proclaiming in 1 Samuel 16:6-13 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him. But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this. Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this. Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward.
Our lineages were lineages of heart that were chosen not because of our ancestor's stature, height, countenance or external results or appearances. We were chosen because deep in our hearts there is a history of responding to God (both in ourselves and in our ancestors). Your lineage is one of the heart. God chose you and then carefully chose your spouse for you. You had the heart to respond and be blessed. God is calling us once again to respond from the heart. This is really to come forth trusting in God's viewpoint and that he wants to liberate us. God will still embrace us if don't come if we are blessed - that doesn't change - God will still love us - that will never change, however God is inviting us to a special place in which he has no limitation or restriction on lifting us up, blessing us and dwelling in us. God wants to dwell in a temple that doesn't have any connection to the false world or any record of affinity to it or even dealings with it. It's really a matter of heart.
A man who falls in love with a woman and truly cherishes her as a pure blessed wife, wouldn't be pleased if part of her still wants to carry pictures and memories from a previous marriage that wasn't heavenly. No man or woman would want their spouse still cherishing the connections to that old past that was so filled with pain and heartbreak. God is the same, we are as a couple the bride of God's masculine and feminine being. We are to be like the bride of God. The blessed couple resonates with God representing God's (his /her) masculine and feminine counterpart. We are the substantial object partner of True Love for God. God doesn't want us looking back. He doesn't want any reminder of the past. Therefore the fact that we were married to the old world and were like false brides before the blessing, God wants to erase that record from the heart. Just as you can't erase the fact that your beloved blessed wife may have had a previous marriage that was not of God and you can't erase that "fact" from your mind. That "fact" can be erased from the heart and we become new beings before God. In that way God erases the record. He erases everything from the heart. We no longer have a "heart" connection to it.
Once the heart is right - everything else will stabilize. If the spouse has no "heart" connection to the past - then the other spouse feels totally liberated and one with his new bride. There is no fear or danger of losing one another when the hearts are pure washed clean of the past. We could forgive a spouse who repented and wants to come back, however if there is still a lingering heart felt connection to that past - it may have been forgiven but there is still a dangerous hook. How would a spouse feel if the repentant spouse still carries a picture of her former love from the past that wasn't so good. Would the heavenly new spouse feel scared to see that picture in their spouses purse or wallet? We must come, through this grace and amnesty workshop to dissolve those hooks to our past history and record. We must be cleansed once and for all. God wants us to really come out of the world of false love with all of its attachments.
Cleansed in the heart. What will cleanse us at the workshop? - Conditions, financial offerings, prayers. They are only what they are - some small condition. Yet, No - none of these things can cleanse us - only God's pure love can wash us clean. What is coming now to us is God's pure love. This is beyond the realm of the law. This is the highest form of God's being - the realm of perfectly harmonized word and action or Truth and True Love. By the strict law he can't do this. But by certain conditions based on the Truth being fulfilled by a representative couple and family, the realm of True Love opens up and he can go beyond the law. Because the perfected Adam and Eve passed every strict level of fulfilling the way of Truth and Love it now opens to all who were chosen. Because True Parents fulfilled the path of True Love, love can now flow unrestricted to cleanse us.
We have to be filled with the sweet and perfectly pure love of God that doesn't have any acknowledgment of the past. The pure sweet love of God that loves us even when we make mistakes. God is saying I love you - your mistakes don't matter to me - if you have the heart to really let them go - I want to really wash those memories and bad conditions and records away. I want you to be with me through my son and daughter who have come to be a place in which I can dwell permanently.
God is saying, "I am here, dwelling in my family permanently for the first time in history - now not only one generation, but two and three and now all my blessed couples are coming home to completely open their hearts - their beautiful hearts that were cultivated through vast and challenging courses in which every generation of their ancestors some how overcame the raging storms of this world that sought to block their perfection. Through impossible odds and barriers these are my blessed couples who have come out of the world to come to be my family. The family that loves me and trusts me - even though so many blessings and so much inheritance was continually blocked by evil forces. Somehow my precious blessed couples - even though they received so little externally, they believed me and my True Parents even though the world rejected me. Now I want to fill them with my most precious gift - True Love.
I love my family - I promised that we would wipe away every tear from every eye. I want to fulfill my promise. My son and daughter made promises to me - in impossible circumstances - I am so moved by their promises. They have promised to bless everyone so that I can relate without condition. They are now bringing the first fruits of those I hand picked and dressing them up and making them so beautiful and they are coming in!! I am so moved by the blessed couples signing up, trusting with very little question that I am only calling them because their heart has been one of the few I could turn to when I was lonely and suffering. They came to comfort me, leaving the comfort of the world.
All alone they came, one by one, as individuals even though their families and loved ones and their faith community in many cases bitterly condemned them for forsaking the worldly ways and professions promising wealth and happiness, and instead they chose a difficult life of walking the heavenly path with me. I want to fill them with my love.
I found their spouse for them and again all the burdens of their ancestors difficulties historically came to each and every one of my blessed couples - they went through incredible courses of suffering to attempt to make true families. They faithfully stood up crossing over the chasm of divisions between historic enemy races and holding on to me tried to build a family of True Love bringing two enemy lineages together. How precious are the blessed families. Now they are matching their children and can understand how difficult it is to chose correctly, many times the difficult way is the way that will bring eternal happiness - how difficult it is to choose the difficult course for my children. I am sorry you have had to suffer.
Even those who didn't make it all the way - I want to cherish them for trying -even if their family broke - please come home again. I want to cherish you. You didn't reject me. I will honor your attempt. You were my chosen you are still my chosen. I kept a seat for you next to me hoping one day you would come home. I am sorry that I couldn't protect you better. I feel so bad that I couldn't cover you more. My son and daughter repented on the way into the original palace!! How much that made me weep! I feel like repenting because I couldn't always protect them and had to allow them to stand on their own. Now my son is weeping that he couldn't protect all their blessed families and children better. However - love can heal us all.
My chosen will always be my chosen. I'm keeping their rooms ready for them; I hope they will come back. I'm sorry they had to suffer to be my family. I kept the record of their favorite colors and have tried to decorate their rooms the way they liked when they first came to be my children. Oh, how I hope they like the colors. I want to make a celebration cake for them to celebrate their return to the original place of perfected True Love that I dreamt of with each chosen family. I want to serve them the special dish they liked when they were young. I want to remember all the things that make us proud of them - each of the things they did for heaven and for others. I want to celebrate with each and every family. Each person and each family is like a snowflake that can never, never, never be replaced. Each blessed child - what infinite potential they all have. They are all like Jesus or a young True father or True mother. They are infinitely valuable because they are the only ones that can touch my heart the way they do. I really hope everyone will come home. I am so sorry that I am not better at reaching my beloved children. My precious daughter True Mother caused us all the clergy to weep when in the Bahamas on the world tour she repented that she couldn't bring my children home more quickly. How she made me weep. True Parents know my heart as a parent longing for his children. The blessed couples are my children regardless of their mistakes. They are my family. I will not forsake them.
I really don't care what the past was - I want to make a new beginning in heart. I hope you can hear me. I hope you can hear my heart. I love you my precious chosen family. I never, never will forget my chosen. If I can I will try to extend this grace and amnesty further, but I am worried that it may not happen again. I am calling my son and daughter to come to the heavenly realm. But they want to stay with you and help you more. That makes me weep. They could come now to heaven and be free of the burdens of the world, but they chose to stay with you. They have my heart, I want to be with you. I want to live in your homes, celebrate your children's victories or even go through the challenges with them. I never leave your side even when you are wandering in darkness, I stay with you and wait until the right moment when you heart is lonely and you seek me. Then I can come in again and together we can dissolve the darkness.
I want to be there with you in the sad and happy times. I just want my family. I am scared that you may not understand my heart. Please my precious family (my precious bride), please come home. We can make a new start together now. I am gaining more freedom to give you more of what you need. I am freer because of my son and daughters and now my grandsons and granddaughters and even the third generation are opening their hearts to realize my True Family. How wonderful it was when I could dwell in Jesus. I was so excited. I was so full of joy. It was the first time I was settling in a mature pure Adam. I never was able to dwell securely in Adam, but Jesus was one with my heart, but then suddenly it ended.
How I wept over that. Now all that memory of pain is washing away because Jesus has been comforted and blessed through True Parents. Jesus is now fulfilled. True Parents have made conditions so that I can give my precious blessed couples my inheritance and love. Oh, how I want everyone to experience True Love and Happiness. Oh, how I ache to see the tears of joy - to embrace and to wash everything away, all the pains and sorrows and disappointments. All my chosen please help each other now - please come home -let's wash it all away and dwell together in True Love."
I am so grateful to our precious American families. They have such depth of heart - I was overwhelmed tonight because I see so many names on the lists that have been away a long, long time. I just wish I would have started earlier to reach out to our brothers and sisters. The first fruits of God the blessed central families are the ones he chose. Their children are so precious - they are the incredible fruits of the lineages with the most faithful hearts. I know they will awaken. Our families have such deep hearts that when they are touched by my pure sweet True Love - they become young again. I pray that God's love can touch America through DMN and HJN. The America family is ready. I see it everywhere.
Please brothers and sisters help each other. Please make every effort to discuss with everyone how they might go. Please help them with money or whatever they need. Please get them all through the gate. Everyone is welcome. Everyone. It's only about True Love. It's only about the heart. If they don't at this time of course God will never forsake them. They are still blessed couples that will go to the heavenly realm. They will see God, Just perhaps it won't be as freely. God wants to be liberated. If we don't make it he will weep for us. He can't live without you. There is no other like you. He will still keep trying. However, he is so close to reaching so many is one short hour - while Father is here - how precious to share this realm of True love at this time with True Parents.
HOW GREAT THOU ART
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made.
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power through-out the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God. How great Thou art!
We are ready Heavenly Father please take us home to your closest heart. Oh what joy will fill my heart!! Oh what joy will fill our hearts. I want to bow in humble adoration of Heavenly Father dwelling in True Parents heart and now dwelling in our family's heart! In my American Cheon Il Guk Blessed Couples hearts.
God how great thou art. We hear you heavenly Father. Please don't worry, we are coming home. Many are helping each other make it. Old members who thought there was no hope are signing up. How wonderful it is to see them again. They have the same depth and original mind as when they helped the movement get off the ground. Oh what great memories we have of our early days. We can't wait to come home - the home of the heavenly heart.
Thanks America.
