Please Let Us Become Offerings That Tear Down The Walls Of The Indignation Of Heaven
Oh, Father, who has gone forward unfolding a history of toil until today for the sake of all humankind who are shouldering the mission of having to tear down the walls of the indignation that has penetrated heaven! We have realized that now our minds must tear down the walls of indignation that have penetrated heaven, and we know that through resolving that indignation on earth, we form a relationship with heaven.
Heaven is not forgetting us at this time, either; it is calling to us and is giving commands about the Will of hope which it desires in relation to us. But when we think about whether today we are such that we can respond to that call and whether we are such that we can become offerings of harmony in your presence, we must ask you to please bear with our not having become beings like that, and our being in an position where we are still falling short, are incomplete and are insufficient.
Now please allow the indignation that has penetrated heaven to be resolved through us by our becoming sanctified offerings by having opened the gates of our minds and having repented again. And we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters who are able to greet that kind of day of joy.
The final walls of difficulties of the Last Days are blocking the way in front of us, and the course on which we must fight putting our lives on the line blocks our way, but we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will not allow us to become immature, unmanly people, who collapse resenting heaven in our hearts along the course of this battle.
Since we have already decided to give our minds and bodies as offerings, please accept them and do not consider them inadequate. We earnestly hope and desire, beloved Father, that you will allow us to become sons and daughters who are able to hope for your command and who, as the offerings we have made, entrust everything to you.
Father! Please allow there to be many sons and daughters who are able to tear down the walls of indignation. And, Father, please allow us to have victory in the universal battle by becoming altars which are revealed at the same time as being hidden altars in each place we gather. And we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become able to respond to the direct commands of heaven, to have victory in the universal battle, and to raise the beacon of victory up as far as you.
We have humbly prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
