Day 11: Corporate Authority and Rank

---

A couple months ago we did a teaching on corporate authority which reflects the corporate rank of the collective. According to KING JESUS CHRIST, the “collective” is defined in Matthew 18.

“Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. 18 Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:15-20

Before our KING discusses the benefits of attaining this corporate rank, HE talks about the healthy way to handle offense within the Body of CHRIST. This is extremely important because the key to releasing power within the gathering of believers is unity. Here is a case study for us to examine.

The very first corporate all-night prayer WeRemnant held was in January 2020.  I remember clearly because we were about to make our missionary trip to Kenya to visit the church-schools and clean water wells we had built. About two weeks before going, the father of one of the key people going with us woke up in the morning with a stroke. He was rushed to the hospital and was in intensive care.

With his family surrounding him for days, he was on life support, and there was no response. The doctors stated he was brain dead and there was nothing to be done. However, the family knew the law. The hospital had to give them five days on life support before they could pull the plug. The last night before the final day, we called family members, friends, anyone. We said we are praying all night and expect a miracle in the morning. We started around 11 pm and we prayed until 5 am. Some family members were in the hospital room; others were in their homes. Yet we were in one accord.

At 5 am, we all thought we would see a miracle. Nothing happened.

Then around 11 am, just as the hospital staff were getting ready to unplug life support, he opened his eyes.

The hospital’s explanation for the impossible was that their equipment may have been faulty. But we know better.

What happened here? Matthew 18:18-20.

We were all in one agreement – one mind. We had one purpose. We all wanted the same thing. KING JESUS, our GREAT ONE, have mercy on us and reverse this infirmity, reverse this stroke.

Our corporate authority was able to reach the Throne Room of EL GIBOR, the ALL MIGHTY ONE, and make a withdrawal against Psalm 133.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.” Psalm 133

We came; we withdrew life from the Heavenly bank account because we were in one accord.

What I learned from this, and many other experiences, is that I can move rocks with my prayers. But when I have a mountain to move, I need the corporate body – the collective. The rank of the collective is determined by what each individual brings. The effectiveness of the collective is dependent on unity. We see this in the Old Testament as well. When the LORD sent HIS Word to Judah through the prophet Joel, HE told them, “See, I AM is going to judge this land and all the people in it. But there is a way to reverse it, take a corporate fast and pray the prayer of repentance.”

“Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand; It shall come as destruction from the Almighty. … ‘Now, therefore,’ says the Lord, ‘Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.’ 13 So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. 14 Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him—A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; 16 Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. 17 Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, ‘Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, “Where is their God?”’” Joel 1:15; 2:12-17

The solution was corporate prayer and fasting for repentance. GOD told the people to unleash the power of the collective. Your individual prayers will not turn MY Judgement away. Only the corporate cry can reverse this and bring in mercy.

During this corporate fast, join in the prayers as part of the collective to raise up your voice for the freedom of our children, youth, and young adults from anything that holds them back. We receive our victory in KING JESUS’ Name, amen and amen. 

Today, we take back our freedom as we stand in the authority of JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth. We come before the Throne of Grace and mercy with sincerity and a repentant heart like David. We fully submit ourselves to YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST, asking that YOUR HOLY SPIRIT take over, and that we may live YOUR life through us.

We confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that JESUS was raised from the dead, and by that faith, we are saved.

“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that GOD has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9–10

Throughout this fast, GOD’s Word and the devotions we’ve studied have opened our eyes to the truth about altars. We are now ready to make an informed decision, taking the next rightful step, led by the HOLY SPIRIT.

“To the Jews who had believed him, JESUS said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’” John 8:31–32

The Bible calls us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). The Complete Jewish Bible translates this as working out our deliverance—an active, intentional process. As Joshua challenged the Israelites:

“Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served… Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:14–15

We acknowledge that there are ancestral altars—idols and demons worshipped by our parents, grandparents, and forefathers. These spiritual strongholds must be addressed. We are called to confess, repent, and renounce on their behalf so that the spirits behind those altars lose their hold on us and our generations.

One powerful prayer in Scripture is Nehemiah’s. His confession before the LORD reflected both personal and corporate repentance:

“I confess that we have sinned against you. Yes, even my own family and I have sinned! We have sinned terribly by not obeying the commands, decrees, and regulations that you gave us through your servant Moses.” Nehemiah 1:6–7

Whether you personally built ungodly altars or inherited them through your bloodline, today we choose the JESUS way. This choice is not just spoken—it must be demonstrated by our actions. Throughout the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, we see people who made bold stands against idolatry and chose to follow GOD wholeheartedly.

Biblical Examples of Renouncing Ungodly Altars

• Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow to King Nebuchadnezzar’s golden statue. They boldly declared they would not serve other gods or worship the image he set up (Daniel 3).
• Daniel refused to defile himself with food offered to idols (Daniel 1).
• Paul warned the Corinthian Church against idolatry, urging them to flee from it:

“Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.” 1 Corinthians 10:14

He emphasized that although there may be many so-called gods, for us:

“There is one God, the Father… and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created and through whom we live.” 1 Corinthians 8:4–6

• In Acts 19:18-19, many new believers confessed their sinful practices and publicly burned their books of sorcery—demonstrating genuine repentance and breaking ties with past demonic influences.

King Josiah: A Model of True Repentance

King Josiah is a powerful example of authentic confession and renunciation. When he heard GOD’s Word, he humbled himself, tore his clothes, and wept. GOD saw his heart and delayed judgment on Judah because of Josiah’s repentance.

Josiah didn’t stop at confession. He took action—tearing down pagan altars, defiling their sites, removing false priests, cleansing the temple, and restoring true worship (2 Kings 23; 2 Chronicles 34). Let the Josiahs of our generation arise.

If we remain silent or compromise, we will perish.

“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart.” Hebrews 3:15

Gideon: A Bold Stand in Obedience

GOD commanded Gideon to tear down his father’s altar to Baal, cut down the Asherah pole beside it, and build a new altar to the LORD using that wood. Though afraid, Gideon obeyed—at night. The next morning, the townspeople were furious, but his father defended him, saying, “If Baal is a god, let him defend himself.” From that day, Gideon was called Jerub-Baal, meaning “Let Baal contend with him” (Joshua 6:11-32). 

Let the Gideons in our families rise up—to tear down altars and rebuild true worship!

Prayer Points for Today’s Reflection

1. LORD, I repent for every form of compromise that has made it difficult for me to be a consecrated, mobile altar for YOU.
2. I voluntarily rededicate and consecrate my life as a living altar for GOD’s Presence and Glory.
3. I renounce and destroy every activity, dedication, or initiation in my life that speaks against YOUR will, in JESUS’ Name.
4. I reject and silence every ungodly altar speaking into my life or destiny, in the mighty Name of JESUS.
5. Every curse from any evil altar, you are broken by the Blood of JESUS!
6. Every yoke or burden resulting from ungodly altars is lifted and destroyed, in JESUS’ Name.

Today, we choose to walk in truth, righteousness, and obedience. Let us rise like Josiah. Let us act like Gideon. Let us worship like Daniel. Let us stand like the Hebrew boys. And let us confess like Nehemiah.

We choose the JESUS way.

Amen.

Throughout this fast in which we are partaking, the word “altar” is a word that has been spoken about and mentioned many times on this platform and beyond. At this moment in time, let us review the meaning: the where, when and how, and most importantly, the why.

An altar is a physical structure, often a table or platform used for religious or spiritual purposes, such as making offerings sacrifices or conducting rituals. Altars are dedicated and consecrated for the worship of our GOD, the living GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Issac and Israel. In this exact same way, consecrated places for the worship of pagan gods, deities or spirits are also called altars. So, altars can be used for good and evil purposes.

Altars create a spiritual gateway connecting land (people) and the spirit realm. We can refer to Genesis 28:10-17which describes Jacob's dream at Bethel. While traveling from Beersheba to Haran, Jacob stops for the night and dreams of a ladder reaching to heaven, with angels ascending and descending. The LORD stands above the ladder, identifies HIMSELF as the GOD of Abraham and Isaac, and promises to give Jacob the land he is lying on and to bless his descendants. Jacob, awakened by the dream, recognizes the holiness of the place and calls it "the house of GOD" and "the gate of heaven." 

In Judges 6:25-26 the LORD demanded the evil altar of Baal to be destroyed and a GODLY altar raised unto HIM before he could go forth and deliver Israel from the forty years of oppression they had experienced at the hands of the Midianites.

“That same night, the Lord said to him, ‘Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old. Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it. Then build a proper kind of altar to the Lord your God on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that you cut down, offer the second bull as a burnt offering.’” Judges 6:25-26

The evidence of the need to remove ungodly altars is there in the Bible. Evil needs to be removed so that the goodness of the LORD can begin to manifest without being choked. Good and evil cannot operate at the same time or the same place. There are many objects that have taken the representation of evil altars around us, in our workplaces and more importantly in our houses.

I will give a few examples of hidden ungodly altars. Paintings hanging on your walls at home of snakes or strange animals. Mermaid spirits operate through the images of snakes. That snake print bag or shoes, that snake-shaped jewelry. Buddhist altars and Islamic altars can be identified by their trappings. Buddha and various other Hindu gods are also present in many restaurants in the form of statues that they worship. Many of us have received gifts that we wear or are in our homes. Behind closed doors these very same gifts were cursed and dedicated to evil altars; these begin to manifest in our homes in many forms such as sickness or even death. Our children have also received these gifts and, instantly, nightmares start, bedwetting, or even a bright student’s grades drop with absolutely no explanation of the change of behavior.

These satanic altars have the right to manifest themselves in the area in which they are being kept, for example, your body. What you wear or eat can manifest in forms of sickness, perversion or even anger and many more other ungodly manifestations. Even a house can become altars; how many stories we have read of haunted houses. The truth of the matter is these homes were given over to evil spirits that have the right to manifest their presence there. 

The solution to remove these altars and stop this oppression you are experiencing is simple. Lift your voice to the heavens and begin to pray and ask the HOLY SPIRIT to show you anything that is in your possession, that is an open door for the ungodly manifestation. As the HOLY SPIRIT begins to go with you from room to room, identifying all the objects and the different access points, take a bold standing in obedience, like Gideon who was commanded by GOD to tear down his father’s altar to Baal (see Judges 6:25-34).

The manner in which we tear down is to throw away ALL things that are ungodly out of our homes. The next step is to renounce and repent of participating in these things, knowingly or unknowingly. Rise up like King Josiah who, when he heard the Word of GOD, humbled himself and wept. With reference to yesterday’s devotion, Josiah did not stop at just the confession and repentance. He boldly stood up and went forth to take action – tearing down pagan altars, defiling their sites, removing false priests, cleansing the Temple and restoring true worship (see 2 Kings 23:2).

Now that a new foundation has been created, invite the HOLY SPIRIT into your mind, body and soul so that you can be a HOLY moving altar. Declare in your house that KING JESUS resides there and has authority OVER ALL. It starts with our individual homes – the bolder the Body of CHRIST is, the faster we will enlarge the territory of the LORD and the manifestation of KINGDOM CULTURE will take over.

Now begin to see and feel the shift of the presence of the LORD as HE moves into your dwelling. 

This theme of “Deliverance from Demonic Cultures” takes me back to early school days, when we first learned in Social Studies that culture is the collective way of life of a people, made up of beliefs, values, customs, and practices passed down through generations. These patterns shape how people think, behave, and live. Over time, they can even influence destinies, both individually and nationally.

Culture in itself is not evil. GOD created diversity and scattered nations, giving each one its language and identity. But the truth remains: not all cultures are GODLY. Many, in fact, are steeped in idolatry and spiritual darkness. While some customs may appear harmless or even noble, they may be rooted in demonic altars and traditions.

Take, for instance, the traditional Yoruba belief systems that venerate Orunmila, Oduduwa, and a host of ancestral deities. These systems were often reinforced with rituals, sacrifices, and festivals dedicated to lesser gods. Similarly, Indian Hinduism, Roman and Greek mythologies, and many tribal traditions globally have intertwined cultural identity with idol worship. These practices, often accepted without question, are spiritually charged, opening doorways for bondage, curses, and generational consequences.

Many of us have inherited these influences unknowingly. Our families may have engaged in demonic worship simply by aligning with cultural norms. The altars may no longer be active or visible, but their effects can linger, manifesting through oppression, fear, stagnation, or spiritual confusion.

In today’s world, the idols may look different – money, fame, pride, religious legalism, self-worship, or occult interests masked as entertainment or personal development. Yet the principle remains: any culture that elevates something above GOD is demonic in nature.

As believers, we must not conform to cultural systems that oppose GOD. We are called to be separate, to walk in discernment, and to submit to the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven. Paul reminds us in Colossians 1:13 that we have been rescued from the domain of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of the SON of GOD. This transfer must be visible in our choices, values, and allegiances.

“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.” Colossians 1:13 ESV

“Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 ESV

⠀

Deliverance from ungodly culture begins with spiritual discernment, when we see clearly what aligns with GOD’s Word and what does not. It continues with repentance, which is not just personal, but identificational repentance on behalf of our families, tribes, and nations as we learned in the previous devotional. 

Like the believers in Acts 19 who publicly burned their occult books, we too must renounce every trace of darkness and recommit to the ways of ADONAI.

Finally, it is imperative that we silence the speakings of these altars and demolish them in our lives to live free of the stinky and smelly droppings of devils. It is Important to also remember, as we learned in that devotional too, that to break the altars and end their speakings, it takes more than one person and there is need for a territorial authority that requires corporate ranking and unity. The Word of the LORD says:

“Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.” 3 John 1:2

This is the will of the FATHER for us all.

Prayer: FATHER, in the Name of JESUS, thank YOU for revealing to me every influence, both visible and hidden, that does not come from YOU. I repent on behalf of my ancestors, tribe, nation, and family for every act of idolatry, occultism, and demonic worship disguised as culture. I renounce all connections to ungodly traditions and declare that I belong fully to the Kingdom of Light. Cleanse me and set me apart for YOUR glory. Let every generational altar speaking against my life be silenced by the Blood of JESUS. I declare freedom, in JESUS’ Name. Amen.

During the altars studies of this fast, we focused on altars in family bloodlines. However, today, I want to use a national-territorial altar as our case study. It is easier to see the concepts as they play out on the national stages of Scripture and our modern world. From there, I pray we can all take these concepts and apply them to our daily lives. Amen.

Have you ever walked into a city or town where everything seems to be run down, poor, broken up? Demonic altars are speaking. Let’s take a case study.

Let’s look at North Howard Street in Baltimore, MD. While the city has its share of poor areas and crime, none is more noticeably demonic than North Howard Street. Why? The modern-day altar of Molech called Planned Parenthood is located there. The community, all through that block, is the modern-day valley of Tophet (Ben-Hinnom).

In this location, hundreds of babies are sacrificed. The blood of the innocent is shed every day, under the pretense of women’s health and women’s choice – turning a woman’s womb into a tomb. That which was meant to protect is turned into an agent of death and the grave.

On North Howard Street, 99 percent of all the businesses are closed, the buildings are run down, the graffiti is satanic, and very public.

The last time I was in the area, the only functioning business was a daycare center directly opposite Planned Parenthood. This is shocking to non-spiritual eyes, but in the spirit, it represents “remnant.” Though a tiny storefront, it is still in direct opposition to Molech’s altar.

Let’s take a deeper dive

“They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, to make their sons and their daughters pass through fire to Molech—something I never commanded them, nor did it enter My mind that they would do this loathsome thing, causing Judah to sin.” Jeremiah 32:35

People sacrificed the children of the poor to Molech in exchange for wealth, convenience, and power. Archeologists continue to discover remains of children as young as three months old outside the walls of Jerusalem in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom. The poor sold their children to the rich for money, the children of slaves were taken forcibly, some were stolen (kidnapped), and some were children of temple prostitutes.

Back then, they didn’t have the technology to kill children in the womb like we do today. Have you noticed, most Planned Parenthoods are in poor, minority areas? The unborn are killed because it is not convenient to have them – for career, relationships, finances, and all kinds of fears. The people, methods, and motives change, but the same spirit is receiving the sacrifices.

Both in Tophet and on North Howard Street there is death and no growth; the atmospheres are just gloomy.

How do we forbid the return of ungodly altars? By instituting a change of culture that becomes unbreakable law.

We see an example of this in Scripture.

“So they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, made for themselves a molded image and two calves, made a wooden image and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. 17 And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and soothsaying, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight; there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone. … 24 Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Ava, Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they took possession of Samaria and dwelt in its cities. 25 And it was so, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear the Lord; therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them. 26 So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, ‘The nations whom you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the rituals of the God of the land; therefore He has sent lions among them, and indeed, they are killing them because they do not know the rituals of the God of the land.’ 27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, ‘Send there one of the priests whom you brought from there; let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the rituals of the God of the land.’ 28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.” 2 Kings 17:16-18, 24 -28

Whenever we see in Scripture the phrase, “And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire…,” this is worship of Molech, also referred to as Baal, which for us, manifests as abortion, child sacrifice, and also child mutilations. In those days, they didn’t just buy infants and children for sacrifice – they groomed some for temple prostitution and they cut their genitals to fit the gender the “gods” wanted. In today’s society, we don’t call it worship of Ishtar, Ashtoreth, or Pachamama; we call it “gender affirming surgeries.” satan does not care what we call it. he just wants the sacrifice of blood, the rebellion against YAHWEH, and the torment of our souls.

In 2 Kings 17, we see the people of GOD had mixture in their worship, and many had turned away completely. However, there must have been a Remnant. Why? Because as soon as the king of Assyria took all the people (including the remnant of YAHWEH – KING JESUS CHRIST, who did not worship idols) away from the land, the lions began to eat the people. Notice the symbolism – lions represent the king of the animal kingdom. KING JESUS is called the LION of the Tribe of Judah. Basically, GOD began to fight them, and the people knew it.  

We see this today, in communities like North Howard Street and in the lives of those who have committed abortions, gender affirming surgeries, and the like. Their souls are tormented, there is no peace, there are medical issues – both physical and mental. LORD JESUS, please have mercy, forgive us. We, YOUR priests, stand ready to heal the hurts and wounds of YOUR people.

What was the solution? Raise up GODLY Altars.

To prevent the lions from killing everyone, the king of Assyria had to send priest of YAHWEH back into the land. We see the Remnant here again. They had to teach the new occupants of the land how to fear the LORD GOD and the rituals of worship.  

To build a GODLY altar, we have to teach the people, similar to what we are doing during this fast. We have to teach how to fear the LORD. We have to teach the rituals of the KINGdom of GOD which are clearly listed out in Scripture.

• Prayer, Matthew 6:5-15
• Fasting, Matthew 6:16-18, Matthew 9:15
• Giving, Matthew 6:1-4, Acts 20:17-24
• Obedience, 1 Samuel 15:21-23, John 14:15
• Baptism, Matthew 3:7-12
• Communion, Luke 22:14-22

And above all, the fear of the LORD (Job 28:28, Psalm 111:10, Malachi 3:16).

Don’t let “church language” fool you. The more I read this Holy Bible, live it out, and see the Power of the written Words in the Book come to life, I am terrified of GOD. For me, it’s not reverential fear, it’s not holy fear, it’s dread. I am afraid of the ONE I love. I fear HIM so much that I hate evil because HE hates it. Not because evil does not feel good to my flesh, but because HE hates it.

“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.” Proverbs 8:13

“For we know Him who said, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord. And again, ‘The Lord will judge His people.’ 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews 10:30 -31

2 Kings 17 shows us that GOD will judge HIS people. Hebrews 10 repeats it; then it says how fearful it is to fall into the Hands of the Living GOD.

Back to North Howard Street in Baltimore, MD. The altar of wickedness on that street can only be torn down by laws that remove funding, teachings that explain why infanticide (abortion) is wrong, and providing alternatives of hope for those who have no hope.

Only priests can do this. The king of Assyria knew this. He sent priests back to the communities.

Will you be the priests sent to your communities, your families?

What does your Altar say?

CHRIST is our great HIGH PRIEST, and the Cross is the altar on which HE gave HIMSELF as the once-for-all sacrifice for sin (Hebrews 10:11). HE secured an eternal redemption for us (Hebrews 9:12) by offering HIS Blood to take away our sins (Hebrews 10:12). 

As we meet corporately to pray and offer sacrifices on the corporate altar, we want our sacrifices to rise up as a sweet-smelling aroma to the nostrils of the FATHER; we want HIS Heart to be pleased, and we want to get HIS attention with our sacrifice. The Cross, which is also an altar, caught the FATHER’S attention. The sacrifice and the Blood that was spilled was the type of sacrifice HE had been seeking since Adam and Eve fell. The sacrifice of bulls and goats was not providing redemption, and it only pleased HIM for a very, very, very short time (see Hebrews 8:12; 10:10).

If your altar is not communicating with the FATHER, it is a pointless altar. There has to be a reaction to the sacrifice made on the altar; that is the point of sacrifice put on any altar. Every altar must communicate or produce sound in the spirit realm to gain the attention of the one it has been set up for. The altar of the Cross spoke to the Heart of the FATHER. Because of the Blood of JESUS, the altar of the Cross speaks redemption and forgiveness, and brings us into the family.

The spirit body to which the altar is dedicated is very important. Something that I stumbled upon as I was writing this devotion is the fact that altars speak. Did you know that?! We know that blood speaks (the blood of Abel and the Blood of JESUS), but the fact that altars have a voice was very interesting. Let us look at the following verses:

“Then I heard the altar saying, ‘Yes, Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot, true and righteous are Your judgments.’”

Revelation 16:7 TLV

I looked up the word ‘saying’ in Hebrew, and it means to say, speak, or utter. Saints, our altar speaks! Let us look at other verses that support this revelation.

“So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar, 46 and Jacob said to his relatives, ‘Gather stones.’ So they took the stones and made a pile. Then they ate there on the pile. 47 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha and Jacob called it Gal-ed. 48 And Laban said, ‘This pile is a witness between me and you today.’ That is why its name is Gal-ed, 49 or Mizpah, for he said, ‘Let Adonai keep watch between you and me when we are out of one another’s sight. 50 If you mistreat my daughters, and if you take wives besides my daughters, though no one is with us, look! God is the witness between you and me. … 52 This pile serves as a witness that I won’t pass by this pillar to go to you, and that you won’t pass by this pile and this pillar to go to me—with evil intent.’”

Genesis 31: 45-50, 52 TLV

If you have the time, you need to read from verse 43 through to the end of the chapter; it is so fascinating!

In the case between Laban and Jacob, there were accusations brought up against both parties. The altar set up could speak in the courts of Heaven. If you question that, read on to verse 50. Laban even invokes that GOD is the witness between him and Jacob. Saints, not only does our altar serve as a witness in the courts of Heaven, but it also traps ADONAI and makes HIM a witness on our behalf. Interestingly enough, it was Laban who brought up this point. He knew a secret about altars: altars represent GOD HIMSELF! The altars cannot deny what covenants had been made. When called up before the courts of Heaven, the altars are to speak truthfully about covenants and sacrifices made on them.

Isn’t this fascinating?! Laban, who was an idol worshipper (Genesis 31:19), knew some spiritual truths about altars and who governed them. How much more, us, who worship the One true GOD? How much do we know about the altars we keep? Even the altar that speaks in the book of Revelation talks about the judgment of JEHOVAH SABAOTH! Do we know that it can be called as a witness when accusations are brought up against us? Glory to JESUS! JEHOVAH cannot deny the sacrifices that are made on the altar; let us remind HIM, let us remind the courts of Heaven, of the covenants we stand on.

Let us remind ADONAI that HE can stand as a witness on our behalf. Hallelujah!

As we continue our discussion of tearing down demonic altars and establishing GODLY altars, it is important to note that there are deliberate prophetic actions that can be – and should be – taken in order to come into agreement with the Word of the LORD.

It is one thing to have the critical knowledge of the importance of altars and their speakings…but it is quite another to put your faith into action to demolish wicked altars and their speakings, and to establish GODLY altars on behalf of your families, communities, territories, and nations.

The Word of GOD speaks of the importance of our actions, for when we physically act in accordance with our faith, we are coming into agreement with the Word of the LORD, thus activating HIS KINGDOM and HIS Will on earth, as it is in Heaven. See:

“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone say he has faith, but does not have works? Can such faith save him? … 17 So also, faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself…. 26 or just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” James 2:14,17,26

Last week, we discussed deliberate prophetic acts that we can take in destroying demonic altars and/or their speakings. Today, we will focus on prophetic acts to establish GODLY altars.

Let’s start by considering one of the prophetic actions of Elisha. When it was time for Elijah to be taken into Heaven, both Elijah and Elisha crossed the Jordan River across from the city of Jericho. After Elijah departed, and Elisha took up his mantle, he returned to Jericho. Now, if you will remember, Jericho had been under a curse since the time of Joshua (see Joshua 6:26), which affected the land and the water as well. The curse remained, as the altar and its speakings had not been destroyed. 

“Then the men of the city said to Elisha, ‘Look now, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my Lord sees, but the water is bad and the land barren.’ 20 He responded, ‘Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.’ So they brought it to him. 21 Then he went out to the spring of water, threw salt in it and said, ‘Thus says Adonai, I have healed this water. No longer will there be from there death or barrenness.’ 22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word that Elisha spoke.” 2 Kings 2:19-22 TLV

Until the foundation of the curse had been addressed, the water and land produced death and barrenness. Now here comes a man with a double anointing of the LORD, Elisha. He knew the facts and the history of the land. And he knew the Word from the LORD that would both break the curse and establish blessing. 

Let’s pause here for an important sidenote. If the prophets and elders in Jericho had simply dealt with the spirits of death and barrenness through warfare prayer, without addressing the underlying cause, warfare prayer in and of itself would not have produced effective results. It was necessary to address the source in order for there to be permanent results, such that death and barrenness would have no legal right to return to the land and water.

Skip forward to today. Many ministers, pastors, elders, intercessors, and prayer warriors decry the cycles of poverty, perversion, failure, rebellion, etc., plaguing the churches and the peoples…but they haven’t taken the time to investigate the history of the land, church, people, etc., in order to discover the origin, or source, of the evil that is so prevalent. Rather, they treat it with temporary fixes, and put bandages on the wounds, instead of seeking the LORD for the root – the source – and strategy for permanent healing and breakthrough, in JESUS’ Name. 

Back to Elisha. He didn’t need fanfare or an audience. He simply needed to know the source and the strategy. He performed the prophetic action, as revealed to him by ADONAI, and then proceeded to seal the action with a prophetic proclamation. Faith. Action. Words. All in agreement with the Word and the will of ADONAI. With this, he broke the curse and established blessings on the land and the water, to this day. 

What does this mean for us? If you haven’t done so yet, please read the devotional on “Deliberate Prophetic Acts,” as this addresses prophetic acts against altars of wickedness. Altars of wickedness must be destroyed, and altars of righteousness raised, such that there is not mixture in the land.

Here are prophetic acts that can be taken to establish GODLY altars in your homes, communities, territories, and nations. As always, it is critical to know the Word and the Way of the LORD such that HIS Will is accomplished, and GODLY altars are effective with HIS strategy. 

1. Anoint with oil. Raise a new altar to GOD by anointing the place of the altar with anointing oil that has been consecrated to the LORD. Welcome the Presence of ADONAI and ask HIM to anoint the altar with the oil and the fire of the HOLY SPIRIT.

“…Also purify the altar when you make atonement for it, and anoint it in order to sanctify it.”

Exodus 29:36b TLV

 Practical note: If you do not have anointing oil, simply purchase a bottle of olive oil. Dedicate this to the LORD through prayer and worship. Then use this bottle only as anointing oil – not for cooking etc. When anointing a place, you do not need to bathe it with oil. It is enough to put a tiny spot of oil, so as not to damage walls, furniture, paint, floors, etc. 

2. Covenant with salt. Covenant the altar to ADONAI with an eternal covenant of salt.

“All the offerings of the holy gifts, which the sons of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a permanent allotment. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the Lord to you and your descendants with you.” Number 18:19 NASB

Practical note: If you do not have salt for consecration, simply purchase salt from the store. Dedicate this to the LORD through prayer and worship. Then use this salt only in consecration – not for cooking etc. You have the legal and spiritual right to use salt wherever you have invested resources in ownership for the time you are there – house, apartment, college dorm, hotel room, vehicle, etc. 

3. Connect to the altar in Heaven. Bind the altar with the LAMB’s altar in Heaven before the Throne (Revelation 8:3) and ask ADONAI to release HIS angels to travel back and forth on the altar day and night (Genesis 28:12).

“Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Matthew 18:18 NASB2020

4. Invite and maintain the Fire of GOD. When Moses and Aaron established the altar of the LORD, the fire on the altar came from ADONAI HIMSELF (Leviticus 9:23-24), but it was up to the priests to maintain the fire such that it would never die out.

“The fire on the altar is to be kept burning on it—it must not go out. … 6 Fire is to be kept burning on the altar continually—it must not go out.” Leviticus 6:5-6

In the same manner, ask the LORD to send HIS Fire of the HOLY SPIRIT upon the altar that was just established. Of course, we are referring to spiritual fire, rather than physical fire. Then, maintain the Fire of the HOLY SPIRIT. Spend time at the altar. Praise. Worship. War. Intercede. Stir up the gifts of the SPIRIT. Don’t quench the Fire or let it die out. 

5. Apply the Blood of JESUS. As JESUS is the sacrificial LAMB (Isaiah 53; John 1:29; Romans 8:3; Hebrews 10), apply HIS Blood to the GODLY altar that you have just established. Study the benefits of the Blood of JESUS and apply this to the altar.

“The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. So there will be no plague among you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” Exodus 12:13

“For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him 20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, making peace through the blood of His cross—whether things on earth or things in heaven!”

Colossians 1:19-20

It is necessary to establish GODLY altars in homes, churches, territories, and generations. This is the place of communion. This is the place of consecration. This is the place of covenant.

We will close with a practical example of the impact of a GODLY altar. One of the sisters in our intercessory prayer team established such an altar in her home. She maintained it consistently through prayer and intercession. This was her place to meet with GOD. 

This sister lives in an area that is largely unaffected by natural disasters. But one day she was in her house, alone. Suddenly, she heard the distinctive sound of a freight train coming directly toward her house. She’d never heard this sound before, yet she knew that this was the sound of a tornado. She immediately went to a safe place in the house and began to watch and pray. As she listened, the sound shifted and went further in the distance. 

Sure enough, a tornado had come by, without warning. The meteorologists hadn’t even predicted the chance of a storm in the area, much less a tornado. And sure enough, her house was in the direct path of the tornado. But when it reached the end of her driveway, it simply turned and went down the street in the other direction! When she came out of her house to survey the damage, there was only one tree that was down at the end of the driveway. There was debris in the yard, including part of a roof of a store which was over a mile away...but no damage to house or life or property, hallelujah! 

Why did the storm turn? The sister was not prepared for a tornado. She didn’t have time to fast and pray and command any potential storm to stay away. She didn’t have a chance to go outside and anoint the property. It was because a GODLY altar had already been established in the house and on the property. Anointing had already taken place, consistently. Consecration by salt had already taken place, consistently. The Fire was maintained, consistently. And the GODLY altar spoke to the tornado, forbidding it from the property. 

Not only did the GODLY altar speak on her behalf – but no life was lost or injured in the entire community! Yes, damage occurred. But the tornado was not allowed to injure or kill, hallelujah! GODLY altars.

When you establish a personal altar in your home, continue to meet with the LORD at that altar. You will find that HE is waiting for you there. You will find that HE is calling you there. This is the place of communion with HIM. This is the place of consecration. This is the place of covenant. In JESUS’ Name. Amen and amen.

The altar, the priest, and the sacrifice. We’ve learned a great deal about the constructs of an altar and the importance of maintaining an active one. To sustain a GODLY altar, we must first tear down demonic ones that compete for influence in our lives. GOD is impressing on us to rebuild HIS altars in spaces that have been forsaken, misused, or defiled so that HE can restore order and establish HIS divine will.

Both GODLY and demonic altars manifest through patterns – the speaking. Demonic altars bind people in cycles, offering counterfeit blessings, truncating destinies, and exacting costly trade-offs. These altars may give a glimpse of promise but never the fullness of purpose. They create frustration, stagnation, and misalignment. In contrast, the GODLY altar is marked by peace, purpose and a blessing that adds no sorrow.

“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it.” Proverbs 10:22

Jacob’s life reveals how both GODLY and ungodly altars can speak through generational lines. On one side, he inherited the covenant of blessing from Abraham through his father Isaac’s bloodline. On the other hand, his mother Rebekah’s lineage served pagan gods and engaged in divination. The outcome was deception, dishonesty, and disloyalty interwoven into various aspects of their story. Despite Jacob’s deceit in stealing Esau’s birthright blessing, GOD’s favor still followed him—not because of his righteousness, but because of the covenant established by his grandfather.

The evidence that a GODLY altar is at work:

1. Covenant Faithfulness (see Genesis 28:13-15). 

At Bethel, Jacob encountered the altar of his grandfather, Abraham, and dreamt of the ladder spanning from earth to heaven with the angels ascending and descending. GOD reaffirmed the Abrahamic covenant to Jacob promising blessing, legacy and HIS continual Presence. Every GODLY altar is undergirded by covenant and GOD does not forget HIS promises. The covenant carries purpose.

“Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations with those who love Him” Deuteronomy 7:9

2. Favor and Blessing

“But Laban said to him, ‘If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the Lord has blessed me because of you.’ …29 Jacob said to him, ‘You know how I have worked for you and how your livestock has fared under my care. 30 The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the Lord has blessed you wherever I have been.’” Genesis 30:27, 29-30

Laban acknowledged that the LORD had blessed him because of Jacob. GOD’s favor made Jacob a channel of prosperity even in a foreign land and in the house of a deceiver.

GOD’s blessings here are not based on merit, but the covenant that was made.

3. Divine Protection

“You know that I’ve worked for your father with all my strength, 7 yet your father has cheated me by changing my wages ten times. However, God has not allowed him to harm me.” Genesis 31:6-7

Jacob worked under oppression, yet GOD shielded him. Laban was growing in contempt for Jacob out of jealousy that he was thriving. Despite Laban's schemes, Jacob remained unharmed and prospered. A GODLY altar establishes a hedge of protection around GOD’s chosen.

4. Justice and Vindication

GODLY altars are aligned with a just GOD, and they enforce HIS justice. GOD intervened on Jacob’s behalf, rebuking Laban and ensuring justice.

“If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would surely have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands, and last night he rebuked you.” Genesis 31:42

Jacob reaped the benefits of a GODLY altar. What altar is speaking in your life? Can you recognize these speakings of a GODLY altar?

FATHER, reveal to me the altars that are speaking in my life. Give me discernment to tear down every altar that does not honor YOU and the courage to rebuild YOUR altar. Let YOUR covenant blessings, protection, justice, and favor flow freely through my life. In JESUS’ Name, amen.

As we’ve come to understand over these past few days, the altar is far more than a physical structure. It is a sacred meeting place between humanity and the Divine. Throughout Scripture, the altar represents sacrifice, covenant, worship, and, most importantly, transformation.

As believers in CHRIST, when we approach the altar, we don’t merely lay down burdens – we are also called to speak forth life, aligning our words with the promises of GOD found in HIS Word.

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.” Proverbs 18:2 NKJV

This verse reminds us of the incredible power carried by our words. Our tongues have the authority to produce either life or death. The fruit we harvest is directly tied to the words we speak.

Yet, how often do we come to the altar and release words of defeat, fear, and discouragement? This should not be so among the children of Light. The altar is not a place of despair. It is where death yields to life, where resurrection power meets human weakness, and where we are invited to speak what GOD speaks: hope, healing, restoration, and victory.

When we stand at the altar, we stand in the Presence of the LIFEGIVER HIMSELF. Our words in HIS Presence matter deeply. When Abraham built altars to the LORD (Genesis 12:7-8), he didn’t only offer sacrifices—he called on the Name of the LORD. He spoke forth covenantal faith. He proclaimed life over the promises yet to come.

Likewise, we are called to pronounce life at the altar, according to the will of GOD. When we enter the presence of the KING of Kings, we should not speak carelessly. Instead, we should declare HIS Word over our lives, our families, our communities, and our nations.

We’ve been handed blank checks to bring before the altar. As it is written:

“You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.” Job 22:28 NKJV

When we speak life at the altar, we are cashing in on every good thing the FATHER has made available to us.

It’s time to align our mouths with Heaven’s agenda. Just as Ezekiel stood before the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37), we too are called to speak life into dead places. Even when all appears barren and hopeless, GOD says, “Prophesy to these bones…” And as Ezekiel obeyed, life was restored.

Perhaps we’ve laid our tears, our dreams, our families, and our ministry on the altar. But we shouldn’t stop there. We need to speak life over what we have surrendered. Declare GOD’S promises over our children. Speak restoration over brokenness. Speak revival into dry places.

And finally, remember: The Cross of KING JESUS is our Altar and HE is our HIGH PRIEST. When we come to HIM, we come to the ONE who conquered death and speaks eternal life. Through HIM, we boldly declare resurrection where there is decay, joy where there is sorrow, and peace where there is turmoil, in KING JESUS’ Name. Amen.

Now that we’ve established altars as sacred meeting places with the MOST HIGH GOD, we must understand what belongs on them—sacrifice. We’ve already taken important steps: we’ve confessed, repented, renounced ungodly altars, and through prophetic acts led by the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD, we’ve built godly altars.

Throughout Scripture, we see this practice. Noah, Abraham, and Jacob all built altars and offered sacrifices:

• Genesis 8:20 – “Then Noah built an altar to the LORD...and offered burnt offerings on the altar.”
• Genesis 35:7 – “And [Jacob] built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there GOD appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.”
• Genesis 22:9 – “Then they came to the place of which GOD had told him. And Abraham built an altar there... and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar.”

What Is a Sacrifice?

A sacrifice is an offering presented to GOD on an altar. JEHOVAH YAHWEH instituted the sacrificial system when HE gave the Law to Moses. These instructions, found especially in Leviticus, were part of GOD’s call for Israel to be a holy nation, set apart from pagan practices and fully devoted to HIM.

“For I am the LORD your GOD. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy.” Leviticus 11:44

GOD not only called for sacrifice—HE prescribed what kind HE desires. HE gave specific instructions for how sin was to be atoned for and how devotion was to be expressed. Have you asked the LORD what sacrifice HE desires from you?

Examples of Thanksgiving Offerings in Scripture

1. Leviticus 7:12–15 – Describes the peace offering of thanksgiving with unleavened cakes mingled with oil, eaten the same day it is offered.
2. Psalm 107:21–22 KJV – “Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness... and let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing.”

These offerings were tangible expressions of gratitude and joy before GOD—mirroring what our lives should be today.

GOD Still Requires Sacrifice

GOD is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). HIS desire for a set-apart people has not changed. While we no longer bring physical sacrifices as under the old covenant, HE still requires our lives.

“By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to GOD continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.” Hebrews 13:15

“Offer unto GOD thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High.” Psalm 50:14 KJV

Thanksgiving, praise, obedience—these are now our spiritual sacrifices. But more than that, GOD requires our very bodies.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to GOD, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1

A living sacrifice means a daily surrender—offering your whole being (mind, heart, actions, time, talents) in worship and service to KING JESUS. This is not ritual; it’s lifestyle. It mirrors the total surrender of JESUS CHRIST, the perfect, precious Lamb of GOD.

Costly Worship: A Heart Aligned With GOD

We must bring our best, not leftovers. Our sacrifice must come with the right heart posture. Consider the woman who poured expensive oil on JESUS’ Feet—the oil was worth a year’s wages:

“Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of JESUS, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.” John 12:3

“Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached... what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” Mark 14:9

Her offering was costly, deeply personal, and filled with love. That kind of worship moved Heaven.

The True Altar Is Within

A GODly altar requires a sacrifice of the heart—a place where we come broken, repentant, aware that we are unworthy before a HOLY KING.

“My sacrifice, O GOD, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, GOD, will not despise.” Psalm 51:17

In the New Testament, Paul reminds us that we are now the temple of GOD. The altar is no longer made of stones—it is internal, in the heart of every believer:

“Do you not know that you are the temple of GOD and that the Spirit of GOD dwells in you?”

1 Corinthians 3:16

We are the sacrifice.

We are called to lay down our lives daily—to die to self and live by faith in KING JESUS.

“I have been crucified with CHRIST; it is no longer I who live, but CHRIST lives in me...” Galatians 2:20

Will you be the sacrifice on the altar of GOD today?

Thanks Be to GOD, Who Gives Us the Victory Through Our LORD JESUS CHRIST

The HOLY SPIRIT gave this title directly from 1 Corinthians 15:57. But we cannot understand this statement until we read the entire chapter.

“The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:56-57

Throughout this season of fasting, praying, and reading devotionals, we focused on altars. What they are, how they operate, how to break demonic ones, and finally how to establish holy altars. None of this would have been possible if we didn’t already have victory over principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6). In fact, in this chapter, Apostle Paul talked about fighting beasts in Ephesus. This refers directly to the demonic powers of that territory. Pause and let that sink in. A mortal, a human being, is wrestling, fighting ancient spirits and winning! Spirits that were created before humans, roamed the earth before us, and live eternally. We can fight them and win. You can fight them and win.

The victory 1 Corinthians 15:57 refers to is clearly defined earlier in the same chapter.

“But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.” 1 Corinthians 15:20-25

As a quick refresher, altars give spirits legal rights to operate on the earth once a sacrifice of their choosing has been offered by a human being. KING JESUS CHRIST came as a MAN, 100 percent filled with the HOLY SPIRIT, representing the FATHER on the earth through HIS complete obedience. As a MAN and the Perfect Sacrifice, HE gave the HOLY SPIRIT complete authority to walk the earth. If we go back to Genesis 1, we are introduced to ELOHIM, the FATHER (DECIDER), the SON (WORD), and the HOLY SPIRIT (DOER). That is why HE told HIS disciples that when we see HIM, we have seen the FATHER because the FATHER wants to be known by what HE does.

“All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.” Matthew 11:27

“Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, “Show us the Father?”’” John 14:9

This is profound! The DECIDER of all things wants to be known by HIS Decisions. HIS Decisions or HIS Will is made known by HIS SON. HIS SON chooses to make the DECIDER of all things known to us by HIS SPIRIT – the HOLY SPIRIT that lives in each one who believes in the SON. I know, that was a lot. Stop. Read that again and let it sink in how special you are to the FATHER.

The FATHER who puts all things under the control, authority of the SON, wants the SON to show us that HE has done this. HE also wants the SON to show us how to use the authority HE put inside the SON, such that all that is subject to the SON will now be subject to us in HIS Name. This is cooler than words can describe. To help us grasp how intensely cool this is, let’s take a quick case study.

The SON opened the door for me to minister to a young lady who was having doubts about her marriage. She saw events happening that made her anxious, which caused her to doubt her husband’s love and faithfulness to her. Nothing he did was right, everything led to a fight or argument, and the home was in turmoil. She was crying all the time, walking around on eggshells, and considering divorce.

Until she made a prophetic prayer appointment and the HOLY SPIRIT – the SPIRIT of KING JESUS – made the FATHER known. Remember, the FATHER wants to be known by what HE does – the Decisions HE makes. The HOLY SPIRIT simply use me to remind this lovely young lady of the Decision the FATHER made, which was to put all things under the authority of HIS SON, KING JESUS CHRIST, and give us the permission to use that Name to wrestle with demonic spirits, and win.

The FATHER put Power and Authority inside HIS SON, KING JESUS CHRIST. Then HE Decided that we would have permission to use that Power and Authority.

Once she believed and realized just how much Power and Authority she had access to, she repented for allowing demonic spirits of anxiety, fear, and whatever else, to ruin her marriage. She then commanded them to leave her in the Name of KING JESUS.

The conversation about what the FATHER Decided took about 45 minutes to an hour. Commanding the demonic spirits to leave took about 10 minutes.

She was completely free. Marriage saved, just in time to get up and make dinner for the family. She spent time with her husband, loved on him, and the rest is, as they say, history.

Thanks be to GOD who gives us the victory through our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
