Hosanna

And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
-Matthew 21:9

I was reading through this passage and then on the music playlist I heard one of my favorite songs...Hosanna by Hillsong...God was ministering to me through this word HOSANNA, so I decided to do a little word study about it. The word has two different meanings, each stemming from a different historical period.
The first is generally what I think of; the exclamation of praise to Jesus that the crowds shouted out when he was entering Jerusalem. Waving palm branches, singing praises to the Messiah.
The second is a cry of help, meaning "Save now!" It is an intense and imperative cry addressed to God. See Psalm 118:25.

As I was thinking about this word, I was thinking that we need to cry HOSANNA for this land. An intense and imperative cry...with all that we have, to cry out to the Lord for his safety. Its our only option; its imperative! We cry out "SAVE NOW!" Come now Father and save us. And also as a proclamation of worship and praise to Jesus, our King, our Savior.

Now, on her own, Korea seems silent in crying out for the sex industry, for transformation, for healing, for repentence. As intercessors we stand in the gap. We bring a voice when there is silence. LORD, WE WILL NOT BE SILENT!! We will cry out HOSANNA! Praise, glory and honor be to you Jesus. Save us now!
