The Mystical Atmosphere of Heaven.
Prayer is the spiritual breath between Heaven and Earth. God adores the sweet smelling aroma of your requests. Did you know that the atmosphere around heaven, around the very supreme being God, is created through your worship and praise? How wonderful!
It is written that there are angels who carry our prayers in sun-like gold bowls that shimmer before the Father's majestic throne. This means that the fabric that weaves our affections and deepest yearning must be of the most highest quality. We can not present sacrifices that God will reject, that would be a waste of a divine opportunity.
God loves the fact that you need him. Its like a father and child relationship, he is so jealous to help us in our needs. He cares for you so deeply that he would submerse himself in the smokes of your cries, in the ashes of your joy, and in your desperate pleads for direction!
Our prayers today affect the atmosphere of heaven. What an amazing thought! With this in mind our attitude towards prayer must change from duty to delight, from earthly to heavenly, and from momentary to continually. May you never see prayer as a religious duty but a heavenly activity! (Revelations 5:8)
