Prayer & the Sanctuary

"To John, the beloved disciple, were given many views of that glorious temple.
 
He beheld the golden altar,
on which, mingled with fragrant incense,
the prayers of earthly saints are offered up before God. 
 
It is in this “true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man,” that Christ pleads His blood before the Father in behalf of sinful men (Hebrews 8:2).
 
There is the throne of God, surrounded by myriads of the angelic hosts, all waiting to obey His commands; and from there they are sent to answer the prayers of God’s children here on earth.
 
The heavenly sanctuary is the great power-house of Jehovah,
whence all the help necessary to overcome every temptation of
satan is sent to each one who is connected with it by faith."
