Kyle Toffey - Are You a Leader?

Are You a Leader?

Last week at work we had a four hour seminar. This was the last of a series of five classes on various topics about how to work better and more efficiently as individuals and in an organization. I work in the IT department of a non-profit and these kinds of presentation sometimes seem more like interruptions and really necessary. I try to have a good attitude to be open to see what the universe and God are telling me. Well I got a loud message this time.           For the life of me I can't remember the title of the topic because the instructor started the presentation with the question, "Is there a difference between management and leadership?" I really hadn't given that any thought before. The bottomline is that management manage processes, whereas leaders lead. I know that doesn't sound that profound, but for me God was saying something. From the time the instructor said those words until the end of the program, I heard little else. This was my take away: "management manage processes, whereas leaders lead."            Managers are needed. They provide a useful function. Things have to get done and managers can make that happen. Management is a useful skill that is definitely required. I think of the art of herding cats when I think of managment.          Leaders on the other hand provide the purpose and direction to go in any given group of people. Who can be a leader? Actually, anyone in any situation. You can see it in a group of children on a playground, at work, in a neighborhood and almost any realm of existence. Often true leaders are not assigned as leaders, they just are leaders.         This "ah Ha!" moment for me was that God is looking for leaders, true leaders and not just managers.        In our Unification Movement, we learned to be good followers and managers. When a conference of ministers was required, we managed to pull that off. We have been good about receiving, following and executing our responsibilities. The key there is "respond" and especially in the past responding was needed. We have been followers.         What I see God asking us now is to be leaders. I think this is core to what Hyung Jin Nim is talking, preaching and working for. He doesn't want to manage us, he wants to inspire us to take ownership and leadership. This is not the, "I want to be a leader for the power and authority" kind of leadership, but "God is telling me to love and serve" kind of leadership that inspires the hearts and minds of others. Because we are all different, the realms in which we may be inspired to lead is different and therefore it means different thing to each of us. But God is asking us to lead. I think one of the most loaded questions to ask God is, "What should I be doing?" It is loaded because God will tell you if you ask. He will tell you to lead his sheep home. Just how that applies to you is unique, wonderful, exciting and the real you.        So the presenter lost me in her first opening statement. Not sure where the rest of the content went. God however found me thinking about how I can be a true leader in my family, workplace, community and beyond. I shouldn't wait to be assigned a leader, but be a leader for those God loves.        And you, how is God asking you to take responsibility and lead? It might be in your circle of friends, an organization, community or your neighborhood. You can't have a tribe without leading one. We need to lead His sheep home. Have a great week ahead. Consider yourself hugged. Pastor Kyle

Masako Ando - Observation of Han Mother's Speech

Transcript Han Mother's Speech on 10/24/15

This was posted on Facebook by Masako Ando. Here is her observation:

This looks like Han Mother's declaration of Female Messiah made on 10/24/2015 at Cheong Pyeong Training Center (Japanese translation). FF usually posts an English translation in their website soon later. The speech completely skips the LSA in the providence of restoration in Christianity: directly from Jesus to the God's only begotten daughter.

Mark Alexander - Response to Larry Moffitt

RESPONSE TO LARRY MOFFITT'S letter

Dear Larry,

Imagine that you were Hyung Jin Nim and that you believed what your Father/True Parents said
about you in numerous public events from 2008 to 2012, that you are the heir/successor of
His/True Parents' work, not in the future, but now.

You are working to bring health, renewal and change to the UM in Korea and Japan, with
encouraging growth in membership and respect from Korean media, government institutions, but
as your Father is getting ill, you see indications that your own Mother is working with church
leaders to change key words and covenants that Father said not to change. You also see
hundreds of millions of dollars of blood money from Japan being siphoned off by the same person
who is said to be "channeling" Mother's mother as well as by other "leaders" whom Mother trusts.

You ask her on your knees many times not to make these changes. She is angry that you insist on
obeying Father instead of her Cheongpyeong­centered "innovations" and has you fired from all of
your responsibilities in Korea. You are sent to America where you hope that positive change can
happen because of American brothers and sisters' character, history and Christian foundation.
You create local and regional councils and you starting speaking and teaching to ministers and
members about Father's Absolute Sex teaching.

Instructions come from your Mother through her proxies that teaching about Absolute Sex must
stop immediately. Soon after you are fired from your position in America, with the demand that you
come back to Korea and bow down to the same people who are desecrating your Father's words.
Some of them tell you to pretend to agree with what Mother is doing and then you will take power
after she goes to spirit world, but your conscience won't let you do that.

You move your family to rural Pennsylvania and spend time communing in the outdoors all night
with God and Father, holding worship services in a very bare living room, making effort to connect
strongly with Jesus and Father. Brothers and sisters start to come to your worship service even
though the church headquarters warns them not to go.

Your Mother continues to claim that she monopolizes Father's will and has the authority to make
all kinds of changes that converge on people needing to liberate more of their ancestors by
sending more of their savings to Cheongpyeong. She starts to sit on Father's throne since she IS
True Parents. She starts to teach that she was born sinless (change of blood lineage in the
womb), implying that she did not need to meet your Father, Sun Myung Moon, to be the "only
begotten daughter of God."

You realize that, even though you have barely enough resources to take care of your family, if you
do not speak strongly to brothers and sisters around the world, that your Father's words and
teaching will be erased/"polished" from the earth. You know that you will be judged as a
disobedient son who was "angry," "impatient," and "power­hungry." But if you don't speak out,
brothers and sisters will lose their connection to the Messiah's lineage and his foundation hijacked
to support a "palace" and a place where people "pay" to have their sins removed.

But you speak out anyway, feeling God's love and protection despite the storm around you. At
least you and your wife are totally united in a desire to honor Father's will. You and your family will
serve and honor the Lord of the Second Advent, even if your Mother and most of those who
promised not to change Father's words, threaten, mock and scorn you. You believe that God will
work, and He does...
