Hope: Let Us Return Glory to You While Shouting Hosanna, Page 9

Please Let Us Return Glory to You While Shouting Hosanna

Father!

Please take dominion over all of Your sons and daughters who have gathered here. Please allow Your Will of joy to be revealed through our minds and bodies. Through what You manifest, and through Your actions, please remove our improper thoughts, our improper ideologies, and our improper concepts. And through us, Father, please allow there to arise in all of us works of inspiration which are able to liquidate at this time all the indignation caused by us, which fills Your heavenly castle.

Please let works of repentance rise up in our minds. Please strike our bodies with works of power, remove the evil elements, and please allow us to blamelessly reveal good elements alone in the presence of our Father who exists eternally. In that way, we can harmonize with Your love, and respond to Your goodness though our original character and original nature.

At the same time that You see the reality of this kind of beauty and rejoice in it, even the saints in heaven will be in harmony at this time through us, and bless all of us to be able to offer up songs glorifying you. We earnestly hope for and desire this, Father.

Oh Father! Today at this time please allow us to engrave on our minds the fact that the mission You have given us was not given for the salvation and liberation of ourselves alone. Please let us realize that the destiny of this people depends on us today.

Today through us please allow all the people of the world to be able to establish conditions for appealing to heaven and earth.

Father! While we are standing on this solemn, serious path of life and death, holding on to heaven with our right hands and striking Satan with our left hands to win the victory, please hold on to us, Father, until we are able to return glory to You while shouting out "Hosanna!" with both hands raised.

Please do not allow Your lonely sons and daughters to become exhausted in their battle with Satan as they face the Will of this age when the time is not yet full.

Oh Father, who has protected us until now, we are still able to hope for Your grace which protects us from this time on as well. Therefore, please allow us to be more than equal to the task of representing Your Will in any place whatsoever, and of resolving the indignation that has filled you. Even if all of us offer our lives as sacrifices, please allow us to be able to bow respectfully with gratitude before heaven and embrace Your indignant heart.

We earnestly hope and desire, beloved Father, that You will allow us to become people who are able to accomplish the Will of heaven quickly, leaving nothing out, and that we will become beings of beauty in whom You delight and who return glory to You while shouting "Hosanna."

Earnestly hoping that at this time You will cause only Your Will of joy to act, we have prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
