Holy Blessing To Return to True Father’s Authority (2)
3-Day Ceremony
2nd and 3rd Day ceremony
Repeat
1st Day (but this time symbolizing the indemnity of Jesus not
obtaining his bride)
3rd
Day (Symbolizing full and completed restoration of Man and Woman)
On
this day, the husband symbolically walks the path of True Father restoring the
dominion of fallen man
- Holy Washing Ceremony
- Husband and wife take bath
- Wet the Holy Towel and symbolically clean body
- Dry body with dry towel
- Wear clean clothes and bow to True Parents
- Recite Family Pledge
- Husband and wife face each other and offer 3 bows
- Husband prays thanking God for restoration of manhood
- Wife prays thanking God for restoration of man
- Husband and wife have sexual intercourse with man in top position
- After, clean body with holy towel and preserve as your family treasure
- Put on clean clothes and wife bows to husband
- Husband prays to God, thanking for completing 3-Day Ceremony, and vowing absolute fidelity to God, wife and family.
The
second day is a repeating of the first day, but this time it is symbolizing the
indemnity of Jesus not obtaining his bride because of the faithlessness of the
people; they murdered him. The second day will be a repeat of the first day,
but now in a different position, symbolizing that indemnity that must be paid
of the archangelic peoples who killed Jesus; so this will symbolize the New
Testament age.
The third day will be symbolizing the full and completed restoration of
what man and woman were supposed to be, the full restoration of man and woman.
Now
on the third day, the husband will symbolically walk the path of True Father,
restoring the dominion of fallen man. Now, husbands on the third day you are
walking in the symbolic footsteps of True Father, restoring fallen man. You
see? You will do the holy washing ceremony, as done on the second and first
day. You'll again repeat: wear clean clothes and bow to True Parents, recite
Family Pledge.
On the third day, the husband and wife will face each other; on the
previous two days the husband is bowing to the wife, right? On the third day
manhood, true manhood, the subject position, is being restored. So they will
bow to each other on the third day, facing each other, three bows to each
other. And then on the third day the husband will pray; the husband will pray
thanking God for restoration of manhood, true manhood, a manhood that has
accepted the responsibility and has repented for the sin. Amen! The wife prays
after him thanking God for the restoration of man; in this position the wife is
also praying in repentance of her sin, and at the same time thanking God for
restoring her husband.
After
that, husband and wife will have sexual intimacy again, but on the third day
the man will be in the top position, symbolizing the restoration of man, and
the restoration of the subject position. After this, the body will be cleaned
with the same holy towel that you have been using throughout the three days,
and this will be preserved as family treasure. This will be preserved
because this signifies the new ancestry. We may think family treasures are
this or that, but this - your original ancestors and what they passed down, how
they now birthed you, and upon what Covenant you are birthed- is the treasure.
Amen!
So,
we cannot just look at it from a ‘boy meets girl’ perspective. We got to look
deep into the historical context, how the descendants will be impacted by the
Covenant, by the Blessing, by the removal of Satan and the total dominion of
God, being wed to Christ as a bride.
The
husband and wife will put on clean clothes, and on the third day the wife will
bow to the husband; the wife will do a full bow to the husband, and then the
husband will pray to God thanking God for completing the 3-Day Ceremony, and
both of them vowing absolute fidelity, loyalty and faith. Amen!
Now,
even though you are second generation, and you do not have to do this, do you
see how deep this is? Do you see how much you can learn from the posture? There
is so much depth in our Blessing! So that's the first stage; that's the first
3-Day Ceremony. We will have that up for you on the website and different
social media, so you can download that and have those things, so that when you
actually do the 3-Day Ceremony after the 40- day separation period you will be
victorious in the ceremony.
Note
If
for any physical reason the couple is not able to accomplish this 3-Day
Ceremony within three consecutive days, they may try again as they are physically
capable. Couples should not try to complete this ceremony in less than
three consecutive days.
We
get that question all the time. Father said we must do it on three different
days, so do not try to just rush it. If you are healthy, you can try to get it
done in one day; but do not try that, okay! Three consecutive days representing
the three stages, formation, growth and perfection!
Love & Respect:
Now
we're going to go also to the Scripture, and this scripture makes people mad
but we got to deal with it because it's the Word of God. Amen! We can't just
ignore it. So I'm going to read this whole scripture; we're going to read from
21 and we're going to go to 33, but let's read together:
Ephesians 5:21-27
21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit yourselves
to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of
the wife as Christ is the head of the Church, his body, of which he is the
Savior. 24 Now as the Church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to
their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ
loved the Church and gave himself up for her, 26 to make her holy, cleansing
her by the washing with water through the Word, 27 and to present her to
himself as a radiant Church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but
holy and blameless. Amen!
Now,
before all the men start celebrating and say, “Woo-hoo! Submit!” No! Before you
start doing that, look at what the Scripture says, “Submit
to one another out of reverence for Christ. “ That is the key! We submit
to one another out of reverence for Christ; what you do not want in your
Blessing, in your marriage, is a power struggle. Amen! A power struggle will
destroy your marriage, because the devil will get in it and tear you apart. That
is why God sets up the structure and that is why God already gives us the model
for what He intends.
Wives,
we're supposed to submit to our husbands as we do to Christ, how the Church
submits to Christ, and at the same time husbands, we are to love our wives just
as Christ loved the Church. Well, how much did he love the Church? So much that
he died! You are talking about absolute sacrifice, going to the death. That is
what we are called to do as husbands, real men and husbands.
Now look at this verse 24; this is very important. Many husbands like
the Scripture, “As the Church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to
their husbands in everything” Yeah! Bring out the football” and whatever! No!
Look what the Scripture says, men? How are you to be real men? “You are to make
her holy, cleansing her by the washing with the water, but through the Word” How
many of you men are studying the Scripture daily? How many? Real men have to be
studying the Scripture; you are called to be the priest of your household. If
you are not studying the Scripture you're not a real man; you have to study the
Scripture, you have to be the priest of the house.
Look
at what it says; you have to “wash her through the Word.” We are supposed to
wash our spouse in the Word; this is not a message of condemnation. Amen!
Right! You guys see it “in the Word”. You are supposed to be the priest. So,
men, this is our calling; we have to be the priest of the household. We have to
walk with her, deal with her, with the Word; not just our opinions or our
feelings, but we have to deal with our wife with the Scripture; we have to lead
the household. Amen!
So,
this is an important part of manhood restored in the Blessing and in marriage.
Husbands are called to be the priest; you're called to study and to wash your
spouse in the Word. Isn't that beautiful? Isn't it beautiful? That's what we're
called to do; we're called to love her by the Word of God. Okay? So, we have to
study our Bibles; we have to study the Principle, the Cheon Seong Gyeong. We
have to study the Scripture, and we have to encourage especially our wife with
the Word of God. It's not only about beautiful, romantic words that we say to
her. Our marriage is not only ‘a boy and a girl love each other.’ That's not
what marriage is about, folks! Right! It's not about you, right; it's not about
you!
Your
marriage is about God! But how many of us want to get married for us, and you
won't have a lot of preachers tell you that it's not about you. Marriage is not
about you. It is about the everlasting Covenant with God! That's what it's
about! So I want to challenge you to get this on the inside of you, because if
this challenges you, that's good, because that's the Holy Spirit convicting
you, in a good way; this is a good thing.
So,
we want to wash her, we want to be the priests of the house; we have to wash
her with water, encourage her through the Word, strengthen her with the Word.
Just as we would strengthen our congregation with the Word, we also have to
strengthen, encourage, enable, increase, empower, our wife with the Word of
God. Okay? That is so important!
Let us read from 28:
28
In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who
loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body,
but they feed and care for their body just as Christ does the Church 30 for we
are members of his body. 31 “ For this reason a man will leave his father and
mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”32 This is
a profound mystery - but I am talking about Christ and the Church. 33 However,
each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must
respect her husband.
There's
the key to marriage, folks! There's the key right there in the Word of God!
It's right there, right there at the end. Paul is talking to the husbands; we
are supposed to love our wife. Look at this: does it say, “I recommend that you
love your wife?” Does it say, “I would hope you love your wife?” Does it say
that? What does it say? “You must love your wife” You know what? In the Greek
this is agape love; this is unconditional love. Because when you get married
you'll quickly realize that sometimes your wife is unlovable. How many can say
‘amen’ to that? Don't lie, don't lie, repent right now; rebuke that devil right
now! Sometimes your wife can be unlovable, but you are called to unconditionally
love her.
Now
before the ladies start celebrating, what is the end of that Scripture? “And the wife must respect the husband.” This, in
the Greek is the word which also means ‘unconditional respect.’ How many know
that when you get married sometimes your husband is unrespectable? You will
feel like, “I cannot respect this man!” You will sometimes face a man in your
house, and he is your husband who is totally unrespectable in your view, just
like he will also face a woman who is his wife, who is at some times totally
unlovable. Amen!
Now,
usually before we do the Blessing, or you hear marriage counseling before
marriage, you'll only hear the first part. You will only hear “Men, you have to
love your wife unconditionally!” right? “And we have to, as husband and wife,
love each other unconditionally.”
There
is great teaching on this by Pastor Emerson Eggerich, and he shows studies that
have proven that women need love to feel respected and they need love to feel
valuable. How many women can agree with that? Right! Now, it does not mean they
do not need respect, but they need love as their primary source of food. Now
there are other studies that show men care not necessarily to be loved. Men
desire respect; they desire respect!
In a
study where men were asked, “Would you rather be alone and not disrespected, or
would you rather be disrespected in a relationship? What would you choose?”
They chose, “I'd rather be alone.” They chose, “I'd rather be alone.” Men in
their created being need to feel respect, in order to feel loved. See how
different that is, folks! It is different, isn't it? Women need to feel loved
to feel respected; men need to feel respected to feel loved!
So,
in your Blessing, in your marriage, it is so critical to hang on these words
‘love and respect.’ It's all about loving and respecting. That is why we're not
suggested to do that; we are commanded to do that by God! Amen! We're commanded
to do that!
That
means when a husband is in his shorts or in his boxers, eating popcorn,
watching football, screaming at the TV, he looks totally unrespectable, okay!
You can say, “What is that fool doing? We got so many things to do around this
house; what is he doing?” You may feel that this man is unrespectable but the
Word of God commands you to have unconditional respect, to approach him with
respect. Amen! Not to approach him, “You, good-for-nothing fool!” and pull out
the TV and throw it out the window. That's not how you're called to behave.
When your wife is nagging you about something and it doesn't stop, and
you already did it, but it still continues on - I can see some of you smiling-
you are called to unconditionally love her. You don't change her by shouting
out. Or what men usually do is ignore her; they will ignore her because it's
driving them crazy, and they will just go out of the house. They will say, “I
can't handle this!” They will just leave the house. Okay?
So,
this is the crazy cycle in our marriages; this is what I call “the hell cycle.”
How many know that your Blessing can build either the Kingdom of Heaven or the
kingdom of hell? I know so many people who have received the Covenant of the
Blessing, yet their marriages are hell. They are hell because they are not told
about the Scripture, and they don't obey the Scripture. God gives us the
pattern of how to create success in our marriage, power, anointing, greatness,
in our marriage, but we have to obey the Word. Amen! Not our feelings; not our
emotions! We have to obey the Word!
This
is the hell cycle folks! You see? Because if our wife does not feel loved, she
will react without respect; if she doesn't feel like we value her and she
doesn't feel like she's loved, she will act disrespectfully. She will start
seeing us as a child which needs to be disciplined. Why are you laughing, men?
She will see you as a child to be disciplined! And what godly man wants to be
treated like a child who is to be disciplined by his wife? Who likes that? Do
you like that, men? You can be honest; we're all bald here! No godly man likes
that! No godly man likes that! We do not like to be treated like children; we
are grown men, even though sometimes, you know, they watch sports in their
boxers and they scream at the TV, ok? Love covers all sin! If we love our spouse,
those sins are covered.
Look at this: without love she reacts without respect; he feels
disrespected, he's going to react without love; he's going to ignore her.
It's
your third book of “ways to improve your marriage,” the third one. Now you're
saying, “You know Jimmy, we should read this; it's really going to be exciting
to read this!” And he will say, “Okay, leave it right on his coffee table,”
next to his couch on the TV. And he will just watch the TV and the book will be
sitting right there, right. And the whole time he knows the wife is watching
him thinking, “Why aren't you reading that book?” He can feel her judgment.
It's now the third book! So, every time he's turning on the TV, he is grinding
his teeth, because he knows he has to read that book, otherwise there is going
to be trouble. But he's not going to read the book because what happened? The
last two times he read the book, it got worse; the last two times he read the
book they got in a fight. How many have experienced this one? Oh! You guys are
bad liars!
So,
when in that cycle, the husband is ignoring her and this book, because he feels
it as a condemnation upon him. That he is an unloving man, when he is out
breaking his back to serve her, when he is out breaking his back to provide for
the family, and when if an intruder comes he will fight that intruder to the
death. He will go risk his life to kill that man who was trying to kill his
wife.
How
many women forget about that, that your husband has the actual scary
responsibility that if there is an intrusion on your house, he risks his life
to protect you? How many know that? Okay, I know here we got ladies with
firearms; almost all the ladies are armed here. But the man also, that weigh on
his shoulder. You know when your husband is not at home and now you have the
weight on your shoulder, what if an intruder comes in and now you have to fight
that man; you have to now fight that man? You understand that is a stress load
on you. You understand that, right?
A
husband has that at all times because he loves you, because he cherishes the
family. Even though he doesn't look like he's thinking about it, he has that in
the back of his head all the time, to protect you. It is a godly instinct, but
he is actively trying to do that because he loves you. So, we have to give him
credit for that. Amen! We have to give the man credit for that. He will risk
his life for you, so give him credit; respect him.
This
is the hell cycle:
Without
love, she reacts without respect; without respect, he reacts without love!
Without
love, she reacts without respect; without respect, he reacts without love!
Without
love, she reacts without respect; without respect, he reacts without love!
And
this cycle will continue, and your marriage will break down, and you will be
living in a hell!
I
have seen so many marriages that are living in literal hell, because they
continue this cycle. So, as you are now commencing your marriages, it is so
important that you do not fall into this cycle, and when you do, you fall out
of it as fast as you can. Amen! Get out of it as fast as you can! This will
destroy your marriage. It is the primary tool of Satan to kill you, to maim
you, and to destroy you. Right, that's what the Scripture says that Satan is out
to do; he is like a roaring lion, to kill, maim, and destroy you, and he will
be after your marriage.
This
is the heavenly cycle or the energizing cycle:
If
she feels loved, his love will motivate her respect, and her respect will
motivate his love!
His love
will motivate her respect; her respect will motivate his love!
His
love will motivate her respect; her respect will motivate his love!
This
is the energizing cycle; this is the heavenly cycle! This is a cycle we want to
get on.
In
our daily lives, all we have to do, remember is love and respect. There are no
five steps or five ways to rebuke the devil; you got the Word of God right
there! Love your wife; wife, respect your husband! It's literally that simple,
and it will be nuanced in every facet of your life as you live together, but
that's the Principle: husbands unconditionally love your wife; wives
unconditionally respect your husband! Husband, even though your wife is
unlovable, love her! That's how you change her!
Especially
when there is no money, men need to feel your respect, ladies! If he has no
money and he feels like a loser and everybody is condemning him in the world,
and he comes home and feels condemned, he is dying; the man is dying! It is in
that time when the wife can come to his rescue! You can come to your man's
rescue; you can save his life. You can come to him and say, “I believe in you!
You are my man. We went through hurdles and obstacles together and we will get
through this one because God is willing, and God is able!” Especially when you
have no money!
When I got kicked out the palace I got no money either! You understand? But my wife believed in me; she believed in me and she stood by my side.
