I went to the Philipines a few years ago to see what was going on there with the huge Blessing movement that was taking place and see what could be brought back to America and applied. I saw many wonderful external activities which were quite impressive. However I couldn't see how it applied to the USA situation. I even spent some time with an American member and asked her what could be used in the USA. She told me that there was nothing applicable except the internal conditions that were made to mobilize the spirit world. That condition was to do a 100 day reading of the 1 hour Divine Principle. I saw it in action and the powerful spirit it produced. I returned to California and asked for 100 members to join me in reading for 100 days. 120 signed up and many of us gathered every morning at church and read out loud and together. It was very powerful and inspiritaional. Of course, there were challenges to keep going and read the same thing over and over. As we did so however, the power of the reading of DP was like taking a spiritual shower each and every morning. I have gone back and done a condition of reading 1 hour DP for spiritual renewal.
