Desexualized societal relationships
But again it's not
like how the Catholics say, where even the men are like the bride. Because men,
we do not get married to men! Amen! That is against God! And last time we
checked, Jesus was a man, okay. So this of course creates a lot of confusion in
the churches that teach “bride” is everybody; the whole church is a bride; and
thus even priests, “you're married to Jesus!” The problem with that of
course is that the priests start sexualizing Jesus literally. Well they start
saying, “I am married to Jesus” and then homo-eroticism may erupt, and
then look at what happened with the sexual scandals, the pedophilia in the
Catholic Church; that is many times primary targeting young boys.
So again, men
developing our identity in Christ we have to be sons of God; in the Body of
Christ, but we are not identifying ourselves as brides. Amen! We identify
ourselves as sons of God. He is our Father; non-sexual relationship, right. The
Left always wants to sexualize every relationship, so as to poison and destroy
children's future marriages, because Satan knows that is where it will flourish
and be strong and be productive and basically create godly S.W.A.T. teams (Special weapons And Tactic) against him. So he wants to kill that early; nip it down in the bud early.
But the point is, the Left is trying to sexualize all relationships. What God says about the
covenant of marriage is, “Sexuality is for that covenant of marriage, and when
you are married under God's covenant, then enjoy; beautiful with your spouse,
glory! But anything out of that, every other relationship is desexualized!” You
understand. That is why, even socio economically, it creates a productive
society.
When people are married they are not only stable, but they are also sociologically more stable, and economically, because they are not wild beasts running around trying to mate all the time.
They have in their heart and mind desexualized all the relationships that they have on a normal basis in society, and that sexual relationship is preserved specifically for marriage.
Now, their co-workers; no! These are
desexualized relationships! You know what I am saying. Training partners;
desexualized relationships! Friends at the gym; desexualized relationships! You
see.
All those things
create clarity socially and economically, and allow people to be much more
productive. That is why societies that have strong family units, we know they
are more productive. They create more economic wealth; they create more
entrepreneurship. It does not mean they are all perfect, okay. Do not get it
twisted, young people! That does not mean all families are perfect; they still
got problems. But there are a lot of additional sociological benefits to the
whole society, when a higher percentage of people are in strong long-term
marriage covenant relationships. Amen!
Make Daddy happy
So, in the same
way here on the New Testament level, Jesus is almost like the Boaz figure
redeeming his people, who once what? Were strangers like Ruth! See, they were
strangers to God. They did not know Him, they hated Him; they rebelled against
God. Anybody who is saved, we all rebelled against God. We all hated God, we
all wanted to turn away; we all enjoyed in sin etc. And God calls us away from
that because of love and grace, and redeems us so that we can be in right
standing. We now go before the court and He has paid the fine of the tickets
that we have received.
So now, we are
able to go free, not because we earned it. It is because Jesus paid the fines.
He paid the fines and now we can go free, and we are, “Oh whoa! I do not
have to go to prison for that? Now I can...” No! No! No! If somebody paid
that fine for you and you go and urinate on them, that's not a sign of
gratitude is it? No!
If somebody freed
you like that, let us say you committed some crime and somehow that person paid
your fine, and got you out. You would feel a tremendous load of gratitude
towards that person, right.
You would feel, “Man!
I do not even know this guy; he didn't have to do that! He did not have to bail
me out; he did not even know who I am! Why did he do that?” And you would
want to know. If this really happened in your life, think about it, it is
something of tremendous value, “Wow! I do not want to ravage this person; I
want to be thankful! I want to pay him back somehow; I want to serve him some
way,” or whatever! You would feel that natural desire to reciprocate that
undeserved love, to return it.
And that's where Christian righteousness comes from! That is why people in Christ do good things! Not because we think by doing good things we're going to be saved; we are saved by Christ.
It is not by doing good things that we think we are going to be saved; it is doing good things to what? Say thank You to God and bring Him joy! That is very simple! We try to do good things because it just makes him happy!
The man who paid our fines, got us out of capital punishment-whatever
the case may be, right. We are so grateful, so, “Praise God! Thank You so
much!” And that's why you'll see in the Christian world, the habit of when
good things happen, or bad things happen, “Thank you Jesus! Thank You God!”
That is a very important thing, because we are turning any situation around for the glory of God! Amen! Anything that can be bad, anything that is storming our life, whatever the case may be, we are saying, “You know what? I am aware of that now, and thank you Jesus! Thank You God! I am going to start fighting out of this.
I am going to do my 5%! I am going to fight with You. I have received Your
power and I have received Your grace; I have received forgiveness and I have received
the Holy Spirit etc. and now I want to live for You!”
Not because by
doing good works I am going to impress people, or I am going to get salvation
or some reward or some award! Like in the Leftist schools, everybody gets an
award! Uh, uh! Not that kind of stuff; not for those reasons. You know what; I
am doing the good stuff because I want to make Him happy!
That's it; that's
it! It is simple! I want to make Him happy! That's it, that's it! I want to
make my Daddy happy! That's it; it’s that simple!” (Applause) Okay! That
is simple, simple; simple and hopefully pure! Okay, amen!
Covenant son of God
So that's like in the New Testament realm, you see Jesus playing that redeemer figure, that bridegroom figure, and of course marrying so to speak.
The Bible does talk
about the Body of Christ or believers generally as bride, but then males we are
not in a position of a woman bride to Jesus. Do not homo-eroticize Jesus or
that relationship! That is a problem if you see that as a marriage
relationship; that is the exclusive relationship for sexuality.
So a lot of
pastors, even in the evangelical churches, they have problems with homosexual
stuff behind the scenes, because they keep on thinking that they are a bride to
Jesus, “I'm a bride; I'm married to Jesus!” Imagine telling yourself you
are married to a man a hundred times a day! You know what I am saying! You can
get messed up; you can get messed up. You can get messed up in your head, okay!
Are you with me, folks?
So, generally
speaking, the Body of Christ is like in the object position or the brides, but
specifically men, we are in the position of son, son to the Father. There is
none of that craziness there. It is our Daddy, we want to please Him, we want
to give Him joy; we want to make Him proud. Amen! We want to make Him proud!
That is why in the
3-Day Ceremony or even in the Blessing ceremony in the Completed Testament Age,
we are not only saved in Christ; we are not only redeemed by Christ. But now it is
almost like going back full circle, but not only through the lineage of Israel;
for the strangers who are saved in Christ, what does the Blessing of marriage
do to our lineage? It now coronates our lineage; so then each one of our tribes
becomes like a mini Israel. That is why colloquially we call our families
“kingdoms.” God says, “You will rule the nations,” not to be grandiose or
megalomaniac, or anything like that.
But the point is
to have that sense of responsibility over our tribe as well; leading them in
the pathway towards God as a king as a priest etc. And that is what the Blessing
makes so very clear. When we receive the Blessing at the Completed Testament
Age, under True Parents’ authority, then the positions are clear.
The man is not a
bride to Christ; the man is a son of God, being redeemed. He is more in the
archangel position in the beginning, because he comes from Satan's side, and
then through the covenant of marriage comes back. Remember that word
“Covenant?” That is the whole week of Shavuot; it is celebrating that
Covenant, it is like a marriage covenant.
Now the man through
the marriage ceremony becomes Covenant son with God!
Save the whole bloodline
That does not just
stop here; because in the New Testament level, it stops at our individual
faith. Our faith is individual and our salvation is individual. But just like
for the people of Israel, God's will is for the whole bloodline to be saved.
Amen!
In that bloodline,
everybody has individual responsibility; that is true, that never will go away.
Everybody does have to make an individual decision to believe in Christ; even
our children. The role of being a good priest in a home as well as a father and
of course a wife as a queen and evangelist is to educate our children and help
them accept Christ too. So they do not become like secular Jews who do not
accept Jehovah God but who call themselves “Jews,” but really are in Satan's
kingdom. Are you with me, folks?
So there is a sense
of responsibility when we receive the Blessing, because now our line just like
we would be King David or King Saul, our line is under God's authority. It does
not mean everybody does not have responsibility; everybody still got to come to
faith right, and we got to realize our foundation of substance as well.
But the point is, when we get blessed, now our lines are coming into Covenant relationship with
God as a nation. It is not common in the west that you would see your family
name as a line; we usually tend to just see ourselves as individuals. But in
the biblical world everything is timed with lineage and genealogy and even two
of the Gospels go into very great detail about Jesus' genealogy; it's a big
deal. It is a big deal to God! To a normal secular man maybe not, but to God, it’s
a big deal whose line is in His camp. Are you with me? It is a big deal,
because He is fighting a war against Satan.
So you can see in
this Boaz and Ruth story, the reaching out of God to the stranger that is Ruth,
and then bringing her in into a Covenant relationship with Him as Redeemer and
as Bridegroom.
Of course, that
applies to us as well. When we come into Covenant relationship with Christ, we
come from the archangelic realm, we leave that realm and we become a son of
God, co-heir, a king and a priest. That is why the marriage ceremony has
coronation, has crowns involved; because it is not only two people in love just
deciding to cohabitate.
We are talking
about entire lines. Just think of yourself! Basically when you get blessed, you
have to be like King David, and you have one wife, not ten thousand. You're
standing before God in that Covenant line as King David would ideally
speaking, if he did not fall into the traps of all those women and have the
queen, and that line that's produced would be in a strong Covenant relationship
with God! Amen! Does that help a little bit?
So, Ruth is kind
of showing this picture.
Caring for widows & orphans
This is interesting because this is also like when Father was doing the whole Las Vegas providence and starting ministries in Las Vegas for the gamblers and the prostitutes, everybody was going:
“Oh my gosh! This is nuts! That is the worst place! Why are we going to Sin City? You know, we have beautiful properties, retreats, and Father has a huge foundation around the world; why, why, why, why, why, why, at this stage we have to go to freaking Sin City and try to save the gamblers and the prostitutes?”
It drove a lot of
people crazy!
But the point is, the outcasts, the strangers are those who are like Ruth. The strangers, the
people who live in a strange land, it does not mean that the culture that they
come from is good. No! It is evil, satanic, and is wicked. God hates it! But He
still loves the soul of that person. He wants that person to come, be saved,
become a son of God, and eventually become a king and a priest, to lead a holy
army in God's Covenant for the protection of His Kingdom and for His will.
In the same way, God's heart reaches out towards that widow and orphan. Remember Ruth is also a widow, right, her husband has died and an orphan. So in this particular story of Ruth, Boaz is following the laws in Deuteronomy, and he says, “Okay, on the edges of the field, any of the barley grain that has fallen down, you can collect it; you can take it.”
They
were farmers, and at the time, farming was very difficult; even modern day farming
is difficult. Anybody who has done farming, you all know it is difficult; it is
not easy. But you had to share that edge of your property line at least, with
the barley grains that fell, for whom? Widows and orphans! Now the widows are
female, they are especially female, but orphans can be both; they can be boy or
girl.
So, God's love
extends. Even from Deuteronomy, you’re talking about early, early Old Testament
period, all the way through Christian history, caring for widows and orphans was
very important; raising them up to eventually what? Not only to become sons and
daughters of God, but to become king and priest.
Watch out, young people!
That is why it is
so important that the young people when they are of teenage age, they learn the
arts of self-defense, and even before that, they have a general notion of
self-defense. Because they have to defend themselves first, and they have to
defend their family; community, neighborhood etc. comes as an extension of
that, and kingdom in the end.
But the point is that young people have to understand as well that the church ministry, this is not for a group of just perfect people. Amen! Everybody is working through sin, problems, and faltering, all these kinds of things!
A church is more like a
hospital, where people who are sick need healing, need to have a direction, need
to get back on track, and need to get rejuvenated etc. come to hear and to feed
on God's Word. God uses metaphors of hearing the Word as “drinking from the Living Water” right, “eating of the
Bread of Life”. These are things that bring nourishment and healing.
So churches are
not places where perfect people gather, but imperfect people, sinful people
saved by grace, brought into the bloodline of God, brought into kingship and priesthood;
not because we are perfect, not because we deserve it, not because we wanted
it, but because God wants to use us to effect His will. Amen!
So, in the same
way, we must educate our children that their responsibility is to defend
themselves; their responsibility is to defend their future, their marriage,
defend their bodies etc. This is very important that the parents teach this
early to the kids. And in the martial arts program and the self-defense programs
when they hit about 11 years, they can start training and understand then more
viscerally and physically how to become defenders and defend against opponents
etc.
But before that
too, parents as the priests of the home, we have to be talking with our kids.
Understand that the average age of watching porno now is seven to eight years
old. When you were growing up with Playboy and Penthouse magazines, it was
14-16. No! Now kids have the black-eye box. They have direct access, and their
cousins, their friends and everybody else, and predators online are sending
them junk. Then, they are opening up and they're getting sucked into what?
Luciferian sexuality! And then they can get addicted.
We have talked to
you about all these dangers, especially Dr. Richard Panzer has been teaching on
that, as an expert with abstinence training, how it changes the mind, the brain
and the hormonal function from just seeking dopamine highs to adrenaline highs.
That is the same thing that happens with drugs: you need a bigger hit to get
the same high. You all heard of this, right; even though you guys don't do
drugs, I know.
But the point is, you need a bigger hit to get the same high, and it now changes from getting
dopamine to getting addicted to adrenaline. So now, that person is seeking
adrenaline, the race hormone, as opposed to dopamine, which is a pleasure
hormone. He’s seeking adrenaline and now he'll do whatever; he'll break all the
boundaries to get a huge hit on whatever. He will kill, murder-whatever the
case may be to get that adrenaline high.
That is the same
with porno! And on the women's side that’s dramas; it’s also the same genre. It
is not actual pornography, but it is a type of pornography; same psychological
effect on women, enticing you through fake romance and Luciferian romance.
Notice that the dramas, if you watch them and break them down in terms of story
line, they always involve love triangles. Does everybody understand? You know
that, right, about dramas; whether you look at Korean drama, or western dramas.
I am talking about the soap operas! In the west, you call them “soap operas,”
right; in Korea we call them “dramas”.
This thing is
directly targeted towards women and your desire for romance. Pornography is
targeted towards men's desire for sexual interaction. But dramas are targeted
towards women; same spirit, same psychology. It teaches you about the love
triangle, to be excited about love triangles, and that it’s an exciting thing
and an exciting way of life; and it's forbidden and foreboding, and it's
amazing. And you'll see the protagonists moving through those love triangles,
and they finally come to their final love, and it always ends up in a happy
way, which is a lie. It always ends up in a terrible way in the real world! But
just like pornography, it lures you in; using your desire for romance which you
should have with your husband. Amen!
Spousal training day
That is why by the
way, husbands make sure you get your training on with your wife; make sure you
make at least one day a week! It does not matter how busy you are. One day a
week, take your queen out. You have your day; have a beautiful meal, lunch whatever it is. Winter camping if she is up to it; if she will include that
inside the day! Hey, go for it! Most ladies won't, okay; I'm just being honest
with you. Take her to a good place, and then remember, we have to create an
attitude of gratitude in our family. That is a great training and very
important training that you must continue to do. This is your five percent; you
got to do it, right! We have to do it in our marriages. So we are constantly dating
our queen! We are excited about our relationship with our queen! Amen! Men!
Hallelujah! Praise
the Lord Almighty! And that's important!
And then on that
day it's not just, “Hey! Eat good food etc.!” That's part of it, good,
good. But remember, repeat the blessings of gratitude.
Just like when
Isaac gave the blessing to Jacob, he did not say, “Son! You know that I've
given you the blessings!” No! No! He said he gave him the verbal blessings,
“May your lineage and your descendants be prosperous, etc.” He gave the
actual blessings through his mouth. Same way! We give the blessing as the
priest of our home, to our wife, okay; we give blessings upon her too.
So on your spousal
training day, make sure whatever it is, Red Robin, McDonald’s, it doesn't
matter what it is, as long as you're getting that face to face time and you're
investing in your queen; investing in her, pouring into her, telling her why
you're grateful God has given you her. Now I am not saying go overboard and
gush, gush, gush, because that may turn out negative.
But the point is, do not appear weak or anything! You are still man, okay, “I worship you! I
worship you!” Do not worship her! That is idolatry; you cannot worship your
queen. But you can express gratitude. Amen! Yeah! Okay! Do not worship, do not
worship; do not worship! That is reserved for God.
But you can give
gratitude, three things of gratitude and vice versa. Then she can say three
things why she's grateful for having a king and a priest like you. Very
important! That encourages both. That reminds us that we are on the same path together,
that we have the same purpose in God's dispensation; that we want to effectuate
His will together. Amen!
That is power, and
you got to make that investment. It is like putting into your bank account. You
got to put into your bank account on a regular basis, otherwise it's going to
be banco, that means zero, real quick and can go negative. So we don't want
that. Why? Because you are the front line, folks! This is what people do not
understand; the Body of Christ many times does not understand this. That is why
Father is talking about the Blessing as being central; it is the front line! Satan
wants to attack that! You understand?
