Part 3 Resurrection: Please Resurrect Us As Substantiations Of Your Goodness, Pg 128

Please Resurrect Us As Substantiations Of Your Goodness

My Father! We know that in the beginning You had a will of goodness and You created all the things of creation, and through the standard of Your original nature You existed as an unchanging being. But because humankind could not become an object of goodness to their Father who was like that, humankind could not realize Your ideal for us, and we know that humankind came to face everything a long way away from the standard of a good conscience. And furthermore we know that this has been the lamentation of heaven and all the things of creation.

Oh Father! For us there still remains the path of providential destiny which must be found even if we have to offer our eternal lives; and since the mission remains that we must go that path until the end, please urge us to be able to go that path through Your mighty omnipotence. Since elements of evil invade through our bodies and block our minds which are heading towards goodness, oh Father, please guide us so that in this battle our minds which are heading towards goodness will not be restrained by our bodies and defeated. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that You will please let our minds be led only by the power of goodness and the power of love, and please let us find You and harmonize as unchanging beings; please let us resemble Your external form as eternal substantiations who cannot be separated, and please hold on to us so that we may attend You eternally, Father.

Fighting with evil throughout the long course of History, we have been covered with wounds, and the roots of sin have penetrated into our bones and flesh. The responsibility to remove them is ours, but since we are so inadequate, oh Father who has the power of life, oh Father who has the power of omnipotence, oh Father who has the power of re-creation, please extend Your omnipotent hand one more time to our inadequate minds and bodies, and remove all the elements of evil which are holding us in the shadow of death. And we earnestly hope and desire that You will please reveal heaven's direct works of life which can raise up minds of victory stimulated by that center.

Then please raise up the power of resurrection from within us, and we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that You will allow us to become Your sons and daughters who are able to bring about the work of resurrection by representing that center in the circumstances we face.

Please lead us so that we will not become those who lament due to being in an unsatisfactory  position, and please allow us to have the qualification of being Your true children by being victorious in the battle with the enemy satans who are blocking our way as we rush along the course to the position of perfection. And please guide us to become sons and daughters who can be proud in front of billions of satans. And then please allow us to be able to fight and have victory over billions of satans and to carry the weapons that the heavenly forces and angels carried in their stead.

We have prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
