Do you remember that prayer?
Revelation 8
Have you ever experienced a silence, do you long to have that today?! I remember in the early years of my 2 children’s life that just after tea was noisy time! The volume was switched to high, speed was everything, the foundations of the house shook at the sounds a little boy and girl were making. Then they were in bed and I remember the silence … it was heaven! Today we see something strange, silence in heaven after much noise of praise and shouts and worship. Then, nothing for about 30 minutes John reckoned. What’s happening?
During this time we have an understanding of the importance of our life here on earth. The importance of our prayers.
How many prayers have you prayed in your life? Do you remember them all? He does! Every prayer goes to His altar, every prayer prayed by every Christian in the name of Jesus is on the altar of God.
Previously the prayers of the martyrs ushered in the actions of the sixth seal and now the prayers of everyone ushers in the actions of the seventh. As soon as the incense (the prayers) rise to the altar, then fire from the altar (the judgment) comes to the earth.
The point is prayer is the fuel driving the will and purposes of God on the earth today.
How long Lord?
Come Lord?
Save me Lord!
Help!
So what?
Well firstly don’t give up praying. Your kingdom come Your will be done!
Secondly learn to pray for the world, for God to move in His world.
By doing so then you will be part of the ushering of God’s Kingdom here today.
