THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS

Revelation 8:4
The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand.
Don't give up on prayers!
Your prayers do not go unanswered. It mixed with fragrance and is presented to the Lord on your behalf.
But what is this fragrance? The fragrance represents your sacrifices and offerings. In the book of Genesis 8:21.The sacrifice of Noah sent a sweet fragrance before the Lord and he vowed not to destroy the earth with flood again. In Acts 4: 10 ; The angel answered, Cornelius "Thy prayers and alms have come up to the Lord as a memorial for you".
God has set up a day to commemorate and celebrate your prayers. That is the day set for  you to receive the manifestation of your prayers on earth. In heaven answered prayers are celebrations, and in every celebration there are spendings. Your sacrifices, offerings, giving and paid vows is what is goes before the Lord as an incense for the celebration together with your prayers.
You can't rob God on this, any time people take petitions before lesser gods they fulfill this requirement: they add sacrifices to their requests.
We serve a greater God. Prayers do not appear before the Lord without incense. If your prayer is not working check your giving and if your giving is not working check your prayers. They go together before the Lord.
Prayer: Holy spirit I thank you for the insight concerning prayers and giving. Grant me grace in the area where I have fallen short in Jesus name Amen.
