 How is your bank account?

When Jesus gave these instructions:

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But [b][size=medium]lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven[/size][/b],where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

He had just given specific instructions on how to pray and fast, and how NOT to pray and fast.

When we see a glimpse of the scene of the throne room of God in heaven what do we see there?

Revelation 5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours,[b][size=medium]which are the prayers of saints.[/size][/b]
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it [b][size=medium]with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.[/size][/b]
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came [b][size=medium]with the prayers of the saints[/size][/b],ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

EVERY TIME YOU PRAY as Jesus instructed:

Matthew 6:10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

THOSE PRAYERS ARE STORE IN HEAVEN!!! THEY ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!!! Laborers are dispatched and sent into those regions of the earth where people have NEVER HEARD of Jesus.

An estimated 2 billion still haven’t heard. http://www.joshuaproject.net/ PLEASE PRAY! Your prayers are TREASURED by God in golden vials near His throne.
