Revelation 8:5 KJV
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
I know the context of the Revelation is future but I am of the opinion that would enhance rather than detract from what I see this morning.
The Word of God twice references the prayers of the saints in association with the fire of the altar. And then we see this angel take of that fire and place it in his censor and cast it to the earth.
I do not believe we need to pray for God to avenge us on this earth. He has already promised to do that. What I see is our prayers rising before the Lord and collecting there together into hot embers before God. They do not rise and die, but, together with the prayers of others glow brighter and brighter until that day God pleases to answer; and then what answers do come!
• Do not give up on prayer
• Do not quit lifting those prayers before the Lord
There is more power in our prayer than we can fathom.
