3 And another angel came and stood over the altar. He had a golden censer, and he was given very much incense (fragrant spices and gums which exhale perfume when burned), that he might mingle it with the prayers of all the people of God (the saints) upon the golden altar before the throne.
Our prayers are sweat to our Father. They are so sweat to Him because prayer is simply us communicating with our Father and our Father communicating back with us. Plain and simple it’s fellowship with Dad. All loving parents rejoice in the communication that they have with their kids, and all kids, who have been raised by loving parents, enjoy communicating with their parents. Our Father want’s to fellowship with us so much, that He has placed His Spirit within us, and empowered us to pray in the power of His might, and with His Own strength, John 16:7. Our Father is God and we communicate with Him by actually being one with Him; just as Jesus talks with Him, so do we! Think of your body here to understand the unity that we have with God, think of how your arm communicates with your head. The power of our bodies is that there is unbroken communication between our body parts. The communication is lightning fast and it is all being directed by our head. Our bodies are the example of our fellowship with God
Jesus taught us to pray for forgiveness, Matthew 6:12. The Lord’s prayer tells us to for forgive and then asks our Father to forgive. Jesus is going to be returning for a glorious Church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish, Ephesians 5:27. So even though the world will be filled with wickedness, men loving themselves more than others, the anti-christ, war, and evil, we will be praying for forgiveness, 2 Timothy 3:2. That is what will show us and the world that we are finally perfect. We will be seeking and offering Grace when the world hates and is killing us. Think of millions of us, from every nation, tongue, and tribe interceding for the well being of our disobedient brothers and sisters. Miracles and power are going to abound as we are used by our Father to do the works that Jesus did and even greater ones, John 14:12
