Do you know God the Mother?(COD)
Christ Ahnsahnghong lead us to God the Mother who created us.
Gen. 1:26-27 『Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness...” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』
The above verse states that God has two images?a male image and a female image. Until now, we have only known and called upon the male image of God: “Father.” Then how should we call upon the female image of God? Logically, we should refer to God’s female image as “Mother.” This is why God had said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.” The word “us” is a plural term. “Elohim,” the Hebrew word used in place of “God” in Genesis 1:26, directly translates to “Gods,” the plural form of the word “God.”
Therefore, the references to “us” in the book of Genesis refer to God the Father and God the Mother.
Some say that the word “us” in this verse indicates God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If this argument is correct, there should be three types of people in the world?those who were made in the image of God the Father, those who resemble the image of God the Son, and those created in the image of the Holy Spirit.
However, on this earth there are only two types of people: men and women. However, the “Gods” mentioned in Genesis 1:26 are the male image of God and the female image of God?God the Father and God the Mother.

Be Conscious of God - Church of God World mission society
Be Conscious of God
We have been freed from this sinful world through the power of the Passover, and now we are walking the desert of faith just before entering into the everlasting heavenly Canaan. Until we enter into eternal joy and glory, we may suffer troubles and hardships (Ro 8:16-18). The people of Israel, while they were on their way to the promised land of Canaan, faced many unfavorable circumstances and obstacles during their 40-year journey through the desert after leaving Egypt, the land of slavery. Likewise, there are many difficulties on the path we walk now.If we only look at the physical circumstances we currently face, we will be at a loss what to do and have difficulties in finding a solution. However, if we are conscious of God who always walks with us, we can overcome all hardships. God, who is the way, the truth, and the life, is always with us in Zion, the city of truth, and provides a solution for everything.Look upwardA man was confined in a glass box. He could see outside, but when he took a few steps forward, he was blocked by the transparent glass wall; he also bumped against the wall when he moved backward, left or right. The moment he felt he was completely confined in the glass box, he fell into despair. No matter how much he tried to find a way out of the box to survive, he had no idea what to do.He spent several days in despair, and one day he suddenly found himself still alive in the glass box. If he had been locked in a sealed glass container, he would already have been dead. However, he was still breathing. As he came to realize this, he began to think of where he didn't try to move. Then he found there was one side he didn't try to move to. It was the top. He naturally thought that the upper side was also partitioned by a glass wall, but when he moved upward, there was no wall.While walking the path of faith, sometimes we face a problem or situation that seems impossible to solve. If we look at all sides—left, right, front and back—but we can find no way or solution and feel frustrated, being blocked by something, there is still one place we have to look at. It is the upside. Even if all sides are blocked, the upper part is always open. If we look up to God, everything will be solved.People try to find a way, only looking right and left, back and forth, but there is also the upside. We need to look at the upper side, instead of just looking at the walls around us and getting frustrated. If we look up to heaven, we will find the existence of God who helps us. However, if we look right, left, back and forth at the same level as the human eye, all sides seem to be blocked off by the walls. We must not forget that there is always an open space, even though all sides are blocked, on our journey of faith.

Heroes of this age, save the world! - Church of God World mission society
Heroes of this age, save the world!
Gracious results come to us when we give our whole heart and soul. Apostle Paul put his whole heart into preaching, and through the one person Paul the gospel began to spread to Samaria and to the ends of the earth. With the same kind of attitude as Paul had, let us awaken the whole world. We are watchmen in this age; our mission is to warn the world from God (Eze 3:17-18).
We are to concentrate our mind on the task of awakening. Without giving our whole heart, we cannot move them―we may deliver knowledge to them but fail to help them to receive power or inspiration from God. Famous actors are completely absorbed in their dramatic roles. They say they can hardly express the inner spirit and feelings of a character without being fully absorbed. Let us consider our duty through the Bible, and devote ourselves fully to our mission.
We, children of promise as prophesied in the Bible, are heroes in this age. God told us to go into all the world and preach the good news to all people. Let's engrave the word of God in our hearts and throw our whole heart and soul into the work of saving our brothers and sisters. When we give all our heart to God, we can do everything through Him who gives us strength (Php 4:13). Dear brothers and sisters in Zion! Let us love God with all our heart and with all our mind and lead many souls to salvation, so that we can all enter the kingdom of heaven together.

Prayer and preaching from the mind concentrated on salvation
God came to this earth to save us, His children. For the salvation of our souls, He never stopped praying and preaching. He put His whole heart and soul into the salvation of His children; He got up early in the morning and prayed for His sinful children that they might attain spiritual enlightenment and achieve complete repentance and go back to heaven safely; and He continually preached the good news of salvation.
Mk 1:35-38 『Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for you!" Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else―to the nearby villages―so I can preach there also. That is why I have come."』
Mt 4:17-23 『From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." … Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.』
Until today God has been praying for His children, always worrying that we will grow weary and fall away from salvation. His constant praying and preaching came from the mind completely concentrated on our salvation. Christ gave everything to save us; He gave His whole heart, soul and mind. Until the day He was taken up to heaven, He laid Himself out with all His heart to save His remnant and told us to preach.
Mt 28:18-20 『"… Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."』
Mk 16:15 『He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."』
There are still many who have not yet received the good news of salvation. Think of God! He thought nothing of the shame and didn't hesitate to do anything for our salvation. Remembering God's love for us, we shall boldly proclaim the gospel of the new covenant to all the nations and the peoples of the world. Save the world with all your heart God gave His whole heart to us. We too should give God all our heart. Let us remove our selfish heart, so that only God can fill our heart. Until our whole heart is filled with Christ, we must continually try harder to truly love God and always live in Him.
As God has loved us, so we must love all the people of the world. God said that whatever we do for one of our brothers, we do for Him, and that anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen (Mt 25:40; 1 Jn 4:20).
When we give our whole heart to the salvation of our brothers and sisters, we can fully obey God's command―"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Taking this word to heart, Apostle Paul threw himself with all his heart and strength into going throughout the whole world and preaching the gospel to all people. Because he gave his whole heart, he could lead many souls to repent before God wherever he went, even though circumstances were difficult and unfavorable.
Ac 20:23-27 『 … However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me―the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. … Therefore, I declared to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.』
2 Ti 4:7-8 『I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day …』
Paul said that he considered his life nothing to him. This means that he gave God his whole heart and soul. Just as he said that he finished the race and kept the faith, he completely exhausted himself doing the work of God. Considering the life of Paul who loved God with all his heart and all his soul, we too should have such great faith. God let Paul's works be recorded in the Bible, because He wanted us to imitate his faith and deeds.
2 Ti 4:1-5 『 … Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage―with great patience and careful instruction. … But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.』
Now, what is left for us to do is the work of an evangelist―the task of preaching the gospel to all people to save them. Like Paul, we are to proclaim the gospel of salvation to all nations of the world. We should teach them God's word and also give them the love God showed when He saved us. If we show them God's beautiful love through our actions daily, they too will give the love to others with the joy of receiving the gift of life.

Love God with all your heart
Thus, nothing is impossible if we do it with all our heart. We can accomplish everything when we concentrate our mind on it. Jesus told us to love God with all our heart.
Mt 22:34-38 『 … "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment."』
"Love God with all your heart" means "Love Him with a 100% love." If this is God's will, our heart must be filled with it. Then we can say we love God with all our heart. The Bible says that the mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace (Ro 8:5-6), and it emphasizes that we cannot serve both God and money (Lk 16:13).
However, sometimes we do not give our heart and mind fully to God; sometimes we concentrate more on the worldly things of this life than God's will. To love God fully and completely, we should first understand why we must love God with all our heart. The reason is that God first loved us so much. God has given us everything―His whole heart, His life and His mind. However, we still do not fully understand His love, nor do we put it into action. So Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment."God's example of loving with all His heart and all His soulGod concentrated His whole heart and soul only on saving His lost children (Lk 19:10).
For our salvation He gave up all His power, glory and splendor; He came down to this earth in human form and endured the severe suffering and shame of the cross.
Heb 2:14-15 『Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death―that is, the devil―and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.』
God came as a humble person, being made lower than the angels (Heb 2:5-9). It was for our salvation. Since the children have flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in their humanity. In order to save the children, He willingly came as a humble servant and endured being mocked by people.
Isa 53:1-5 『 … Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.』
God was despised by His creatures; He experienced all sorrow and suffering. Only for our redemption, He endured all sufferings. He never changed His mind, nor did He give up on His love for us, even a single moment.In accordance with the will of God, we partake of Christ's flesh and blood, and we remain in God and God in us and become united with Him. Thus, God has established the new caovenant, so that we may follow the same path as He walked and come to salvation. Considering the whole spiritual process God went through for our salvation, we can find out that God's love has always been there for us―He has loved us with all His heart and with all His soul and with all His mind. God abandoned the glory of heaven and suffered in our stead; He concentrated His efforts only on our salvation. Considering this, we can fully understand why Jesus said it is the first and greatest commandment to love God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind. It is not because we first loved God that we have come to salvation, but God first loved us and sought us. For the long period of six thousand years, our heavenly Father and Mother have constantly cared for us and guided us. We shall never forget our Father and Mother's loving heart and grace, not even for a single moment.

With all your heart and with all your mind-Church of God world mission society
With all your heart and with all your mind
"Nothing is impossible if one has the will to do," as the proverb says. This means if one concentrates his mind on one thing, there is nothing he can not do. When a new year comes, people make various plans, but most of them do not fulfill all their plans by the end of the year. He who tries to do too many things at once cannot accomplish anything. What about the man who continually struggles for one goal? He eventually accomplishes his goal, sooner or later. Nothing is impossible for him who does everything with all his heartLugworms dig their holes very well, even though they have soft bodies and no part of their bodies is hard enough to be used as a tool. However, crabs, even though they have better physical conditions than the lugworms, do not try to make their homes but live in the holes digged by others.This comes from their different life habits: The lugworms tend to concentrate on one thing, while the crabs tend to do many things at once, not steadily concentrating on one thing. The crabs have a hard shell and strong claws serving as good tools; they protect themselves against enemies while eating food; they are busy doing many other things while crawling. Consequently they do not make their own homes. There is an ancient phrase '中石沒鏃'in Chinese, which originated with General Li Guang at the time of the Han dynasty, China. This phrase also means that if one concentrates his mind on one target, there is nothing impossible to accomplish. Li Guang was a great soldier, a master of archery and riding. One dusky evening, he passed through a pine forest. Then he saw a tiger staring at him, sitting in the bush a little distance away. Feeling a sense of crisis, he immediately drew an arrow and shot it. The arrow was accurately stuck in the tiger's forehead. However, in spite of being hit by the arrow, the tiger did not move at all.He carefully approached it, and he found that it was not the tiger but a huge rock in the shape of a tiger. He was greatly surprised to see his arrow stuck in the rock. Moving backward some distance, he shot his arrow again. He repeatedly shot his arrows, but each time the arrow bounced off the rock. If an expert archer shoots an arrow, the arrow can hit the center of the target. From common sense, however, it is almost impossible for the arrow to pierce a rock. In an extremely dangerous situation, he [Li Guang] concentrated 100% on hitting the target, so his arrow could even pierce the rock.

In the Eternal Love of Heavenly Mother
In the Eternal Love of Heavenly Mother
NATION USA
NAME Jorge Correa
First and foremost, I want to give all glory, honor and power to our heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and our heavenly Mother the New Jerusalem for still allowing me to see the truth and for allowing me to write this fragrance of Zion. Before God called me into the truth, I was always wondering what was the true meaning of my existence. Until I studied the truth about the forgiveness of sins which touched me deeply and let me realize many things about my existence and my purpose in this world. When I first learned about Mother, I didn’t realize anything nor understood the significance of what I just learned. After the study, I watched one of Mother’s videos, and within minutes my eyes were so full of tears, because She allowed me to see that because of my sins She had come to this earth.Time passed by in the truth and for a while I was not able to take a visit to see our heavenly Mother, because of my status in the United States. During that time I was so scared that I was not going to be able to see Mother, but through Her prayers, I always found strength to have a positive mind and I believed that I would surely see her. When preaching, about the tree of life and seal of God, I knew that even my way to see Her on this earth was blocked and that She was the seal of God I should go to. So all I could do was pray and patiently wait until it was Father’s will for me to go. Even though I did not deserve to go see Her, Father Christ Ahnsahnghong opened the way for me to see the tree of life and take a trip to see our heavenly Mother. So many times I went to the airport to say good bye to my heavenly brothers who were on their way to the Holy Land in Korea to see Mother. Nevertheless, this time I was in the airport and it was me who was in the airport and Father made it my time to go see Her. I was so happy and nervous, and still thought that it was actually a dream. Even though, I had read Galatians 4:26 many times and had studied about Mother it was not until one time in service we were studying about the sanctuary for the first time, and the verse came out, “. . . but the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our Mother.” I still remember the feeling that I had and how my spirit felt so much and how I truly missed heavenly Mother. During the trip, I could not sleep, because I was so scared and happy and did not know what to expect but I knew She was the true sanctuary and I needed to repent to Her. I tried to read the Book of Father on the plane, watch a movie, sing a new song, and even prayed, but my mind couldn’t stop thinking of the fact that I was finally going to meet God even though I had done nothing to deserve it. When we were getting closer to Korea, my heart was pounding harder and harder. Even when we got on the bus, my hands were sweating so much. After about three hours on the bus, on our way to see our heavenly Mother, I was getting so anxious and finally the bus came to a complete stop. As I was going up the stairs, I was in shock and didn’t know what to do, but I knew I had to kneel down to Her and that was what I did. When I saw Her, everything that I remember came to my mind, all the pictures that I saw before, all the videos, all the calendars, all the phone calls that I heard, and there I was in front of the reality of everything. Mother hugged everyone one by one. Even though I wanted to hold on to Her, I knew I had to let all the other brothers go, so we went inside and I started to pray. The first thing She said after we prayed was: “I love you” and “I missed you.” When I saw Her eyes, I saw that She wanted to cry but She held it inside. Just that fact alone made me realize how much strength Mother really has to be able to hold Her tears like that. So many things happened on the trip and many things that I have yet to realize from the trip. But the times that I was most moved was when She visited us and how concerned She was for us. During the trip, Mother gave us a surprise and allowed us to see a play which showed the kind of sin that we committed in heaven. While I was watching it, Mother was in front of me and it broke my heart that She was looking back at such a hurtful day. After that I felt so ashamed and realized a glimpse of Mother who is true Mercy and the fact that She is on this earth right now after what I did in heaven is something so hard to understand. Every time I heard in the new songs these words: boundless love?unconditional love, endless sacrifice, I thought it could describe Mother’s sacrifice and love for us. But actually, after this trip I realized that those words do no justice to what She is going through for us now. Father gave me a chance to thank Mother face to face for allowing me to see that play, and She said that She was so sorry because the things that She gave us during the trip were not enough. Even when I think about those words, it hurts me so much to see how much love She has for me and how little love I have for Her. The fact that Mother has so much hope for me is what makes me want to work harder and to actually wake up from my slumber. I thought that when I was going to see Her, I was going to sharpen my sword, but when I went, I realized I never had a sword. Everything I learn, understand, or preach comes from God the Mother who is in the flesh in these last days. Mother allowed me to understand that the power of humans on this earth is absolutely nothing. Everything that people receive inside or outside the truth comes from our God Elohim. Mother told me that the one thing She is not pleased with is disappointment. Those words meant so much to me, because no matter what situation or environment I am in, I have to always be positive and never forget that I was holding Her hand and that I actually got a chance to hug my eternal Mother. Mother, I want to thank You so much for every second that passes because every second I breath is because of Your sacrifice. I realized that my name is written in the book of life, but that the book of life is Mother’s heart, so through Father’s grace I want it to be written in Her until She allows us to go to the beautiful kingdom that is awaiting us.Heavenly Mother, I give You eternal thanks for allowing me to be inside of this prophecy:1 Jn 1:1 “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched?this we proclaim concerning the word of life [Mother]. The life [Mother] appeared; we have seen it [Her] and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life [Mother] which was with the Father and has appear to us.” All glory to Father Christ Ahnsahnghong who allows us to be children of Eternal Life, our heavenly Mother the New Jerusalem!
