The sacred architecture of Moses' Tabernacle reveals profound spiritual truths that transform our understanding of prayer. As we stand before the golden altar of incense—positioned at the threshold of God's very presence—we discover something remarkable: nothing brings us closer to God than prayer.

This golden altar, meticulously constructed according to divine specifications, speaks volumes about Christ's ministry and our own spiritual journey. While the brazen altar in the outer court represents our salvation experience, this golden altar of incense represents our ongoing relationship with God through prayer. The continually burning incense typifies Christ who now sits at the Father's right hand making perpetual intercession for us. When we sin as believers, we need not panic—we have an Advocate pleading our case in heaven.

Satan understands the power of prayer, which explains why he works tirelessly to interrupt this sacred privilege. A prayerless Christian gradually becomes a stranger to God as their relationship loses vitality without communication. The most important question we must answer honestly is: "Are you a stranger at the altar of prayer?" While we're called to pray without ceasing, maintaining a constant attitude of communion with God, we're also encouraged to establish dedicated times for focused prayer. Perhaps the highest calling within this prayer ministry is intercession for others—standing in the gap for those who need divine intervention. Through prayer, we participate in the very ministry that Christ himself performs on our behalf. Return to the altar of prayer today and experience the transformative power of God's presence.
