Prayers and Good Deeds of God's People

Noted on Sunday 14th April 2013, in Wesley Methodist Church Kampar.

When the seventh seal is opened, the prayers of God's people are offered to God with a lot of incense on the golden altar, as seen in the verse below:

Revelations 8: 3, 4 NKJV
Then another angel, having a golden censer, 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 altar 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.

The good deeds (righteous acts) of God's people are shown by clean shining linen worn by the bride, as follows:

Revelations 19: 6 - 8 NKJV
And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, let us, as the saints of God, persevere in much prayer and in righteous acts.
