The Power of Prayer

Read Revelation 8:3-5

Today’s Truth

Those verses are a powerful testimony to the power of prayer. This whole picture of judgment that unfolds, the coming of God’s kingdom in the rests of Revelation 8 here and in the chapters that follow, it comes in response to the prayers of God’s people. As prayers are lifted up, the picture is God’s justice, God’s kingdom, God’s righteousness comes down.

Our prayers are never in vain. Everyone of them is counting. It’s like incense before God. And there’s coming a day when He’s going to respond to our prayers and bring about His kingdom on the earth as it is in heaven. We pray with confidence, our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name.
