Much like the water park buckets, the prayers of God's people fill golden bowls in heaven. As these bowls fill, the prayers are mingled with incense creating a pleasing aroma to God. Then as the bowls brim over, an angel takes the censor dipped in incense and prayers and showers the fire of God on the earth. God said, "If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" 2 Chronicles The "fire from the altar" is the power of God released from heaven to change the earth.
As our prayers are lifted up to God, the golden bowls are filled until they reach a point when the bowls tip and pour out God's power and provision on the earth. When God's people pray earnestly, the "effective, fervent prayer of the righteous" avails much James I'm not talking about begging God. Begging God is not the same as believing God. Effective, fervent prayer is always filled with faith. No, our prayers must be spirit-led and intentional. Jentzen Franklin said, "What a marvelous image!
When you pray, you are filling the prayer bowls of heaven. In God's perfect timing, your prayers are mixed with the fire of God His power and cast back down to earth to change your situation Even if you don't feel like anything is happening in the natural world, when you pray, you are filling the prayer bowls in the spirit realm.
When they are full, they will tilt and pour out answers to your prayers! The people at the water park who wearied of waiting for the buckets to fill missed an outpouring. The same is true in prayer. However, it's not about works trying to make something happen , it's about diligence. The word "earnest" describes something serious in intention, purpose, or effort.
It can also mean sincerely zealous, meaning it is active, devoted, and diligent, while at the same time being free of hypocrisy or deceit. This kind of prayer is genuine and real. It's not about how many words are prayed or the manner in which we pray, as long as our prayers are heartfelt, faith-filled, and authentic.
The earth needs saints to be fervent in prayer. God would not have destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah if there had been even 10 righteous people calling out to Him for deliverance. The same is still true today if God's people will pray. He is ready to tilt the prayer bowl on this generation!
