Prayers Above and Judgment Below | The Revelation to John
May 31, 2026 • Stu Fuhlendorf
Revelation 8 reveals the powerful connection between the prayers of God’s people and the sovereign purposes of God. As the seventh seal is opened, heaven falls silent and the prayers of the saints rise before God like incense. Those prayers are not forgotten or ignored. Instead, God uses them as part of His unfolding plan to bring justice, vindicate His people, and accomplish His will on earth. The trumpet judgments remind us that Christ is sovereign over creation, history, and judgment. In a world that often seems chaotic, believers can take comfort knowing that God hears every prayer and acts according to His perfect wisdom and timing.
