I LOVE this statement from Jentzen Franklin!:

“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!”

In the Book of Revelation, the Bible describes golden bowls full of incense, as the prayers of the saints (Revelation 5:8). In other words, the prayers of God’s people fill heavenly bowls with sweet aroma, much like the burnt offerings did in days of old. In Revelation 8, we learn what these “SuperNatural Bowls are used for:

“Then another angel, having a golden bowl, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden alter which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the bowl, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake” (Revelation 8:3-5).

As these bowls fill up, the prayers are mingled with incense creating a pleasing aroma to God. Then as the bowls brim over, an angel takes the bowl 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 7:14).

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. Hence my term- “SuperNatural Bowl” !

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! So be encouraged in your prayer life — the golden bowls are being filled and the fire of heaven is about to fall!
