Courageous, Victorious People Who Are Moving Forward For thousands of years our ancestors have been building up walls of sorrow, and as the days go by, these walls are not getting lower; rather, through his many deceptions Satan has been making the walls higher.
Today all the people of the world have the responsibility to take down the walls of resentment that their ancestors have built up, and furthermore, we, too, must understand that we have that responsibility as well.
We thought that Jesus himself having gone the path of anguish was just his own anguish, but when we realize that his anguish remains ours, we discover ourselves to be those who must now go towards heaven with tears flowing.
Now, when we look at the walls of all the sins our ancestors committed with our hearts breaking over those sins, we realize how weak we are. Oh Father, please let us inherit your strength which can push all this away.
Father! Even if we are in a lonely position, please let us reclaim the wall of tears and realize a garden of harmony. Father, now that we know you are concerned about us in your heart please let us leave our hesitations behind and appear before you as those who are going forward without rest.
Since we have now received your command and have begun on our way, please let us become good sons and daughters of heaven who can run hard along the path to realize your desire, determined to go whether we live or die. Father, we earnestly hope for and desire this.
Now we can respond to the words that Jesus said, "Leave everything and follow me." Let us become the sons and daughters who can respond to that call.
In front of the Will which gives you joy, Father, when you command us towards the garden of desire which you want, we must become the sons and daughters who can come forward and not waver having made all preparations without hesitation, and who can be embraced and loved by heaven.
And since we have the responsibility that we must fight with Satan and be responsible for the six thousand years of historical resentment, please let us become courageous men of victory who can fight with good hearts, with indomitable spirits which have made new determinations, new decisions, and new pledges.
Earnestly desiring these things, we have prayed in the name of the Lord.
Amen.
