Day One: Why Are Altars So Important?

For those who have journeyed with WeRemnant/Remnant Tribe, the Biblical concept of altars is not new to you. We studied the personal and corporate altars many times. Occasionally, we taught on territorial/national altars. Over the course of the next 21days of corporate prayer, fasting, and obedience, we shall dive even deeper into the concept of altars from a family / genealogy / Body of CHRIST perspective. Specifically, how to identify the altars in your families and ministries, their speaking’s (yes, altars speak), how to break demonic ones, and finally, how to erect holy altars.


Let’s begin with a quick refresher.


What Is an Altar?

An altar is a meeting place of mankind and spirits. This is the gateway / door / access point between the spirit realm and the physical realm. The first altar in Scripture was Eden. There, ADONAI ELOHIM (The LORD GOD) met with Adam (man and woman) in the cool of the day (see Genesis 2 and Genesis 3:8). The separation of man into man and woman happened in Genesis 2:21-22 when GOD took man’s rib and built (created) woman from the raw materials of Eden plus man’s rib. Before this surgery, there was one physical body with the breath of GOD in it. That man met with GOD in Eden. The original altar, Eden, didn’t require sacrifice. There was no sin. However, when sin entered, a sacrifice was needed for us to connect to the spirit realm. The doors of Eden were shut, and we could no longer walk in and out of the FACE (PRESENCE) of GOD without blood (see Genesis 20-24). Interestingly, the first time the name “Adam” was used in the Hebrew Bible versions was after sin entered the picture. But that is a different teaching for another time.


The first time we see altars outside of Eden is when Cain and Abel built altars unto GOD.


“Then she gave birth again, to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd of flocks while Cain became a worker of the ground. 3 So it happened after some time that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to Adonai, 4 while Abel—he also brought of the firstborn of his flock and their fat portions. Now Adonai looked favorably upon Abel and his offering, 5 but upon Cain and his offering He did not look favorably. Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.” Genesis 4:2-5


Notice something here. Cain brought what he worked for, what he liked: the food of men. At this time, men only ate fruits and vegetables. There was no release for mankind to eat animals until after the LORD terraformed the earth through the flood at the time of Noah (see Genesis 9:1-4). On the other hand, Abel brought what GOD required. He was a shepherd for the purpose of sacrifices, clothing, and fertilizing the earth, and of course, pets. I’m sure there were other functions, but these are the logical core ones. Abel brought what he knew GOD would want, not what he liked.


Altars Have Rules.

1. The sacrifice on the altar is determined by the spirit – holy or demonic – to be contacted. It is their altar, and the human is the attendant, also called the priest. 


Demonic priests can be broken down into witches, warlocks, soothsayers, necromancers, sorcerers, diviners, etc. They access the spirit realm through altars, determine price for specific tasks, facilitate the payment of that price, then send the spirits to do things on behalf of their followers, congregations, etc. Demonic priests stand between their demon gods and the people who worship them. 


We are priests of the holy altar. We are called apostles, prophets (and intercessors), evangelists, teachers, and pastors. We perform the same function as demonic priests, except the SPIRIT we attend to is the KING SPIRIT and HE cannot be sent on errands. Rather, we request mercy, entreat HIS favor, remind HIM of HIS WORD, and bring our lives into agreement with HIS WORD, such that HE will do for us what HE desires, according to our asking, seeking, and knocking.


GOD already told Adam and Eve the sacrifice HE wanted: blood. GOD HIMSELF killed an animal and used the skin to clothe them. The parents must have taught their children, Cain and Abel. How else would they know? Therefore, the first place children learn to worship GOD is at home through the parents, not at Sunday school or from the children’s ministry leaders.


Notice the LORD GOD did not accept Cain’s sacrifice. Rather, HE accepted Abel’s because it was what HE wanted.


2. An altar is not an altar until a spirit – holy or demonic – responds to the sacrifice. If one spirit rejects it, another spirit will accept it. GOD rejected Cain’s altar but sin (a spirit), accepted it. Therefore, Cain was the first to raise up a demonic altar.


“Then Adonai said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, it will lift. But if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the doorway. Its desire is for you, but you must master it.’” Genesis 4:6-7


3. The type of spirit initially contacted, and the type of sacrifice initially offered, will determine if it is a holy or demonic altar. When Israel built an idol to the golden calf in the desert, it didn’t manifest its character in the people until they built an altar to it. Even though Aaron, the priest of GOD, said it was an altar to the LORD, GOD rejected it and said the people have become debased (humiliated). The worship of idols humiliates us.


“Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, ‘Get up, make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what’s become of him!’ … 5 When Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. Then Aaron made a proclamation saying, ‘Tomorrow will be a feast to Adonai.’ 6They rose up early the next morning, sacrificed burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to make merry. 7 Then Adonai said to Moses, ‘Go down! For your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have become debased.’” Exodus 32:1, 5-7


4. The altar will manifest the spirit initially contacted. Meaning, if it is a holy altar, it will manifest the holy things spoken into it. The holy agreements (covenants) made between the HOLY SPIRIT and the initial priest of the altar speak or manifest forever until terms of the covenant are violated. Then it will stop speaking. The same rule applies for a demonic spirit. The altar Abram erected in Canaan was speaking the same things to Jacob, his grandson, over a 120 years later.


“Then Adonai appeared to Abram, and said, ‘I will give this land to your seed.’ So there he built an altar to Adonai, who had appeared to him.” Genesis 12:7


“Surprisingly, Adonai was standing on top of it and He said, ‘I am Adonai, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your seed.’” Genesis 28:13


5. Spirits are jealous they do not share altars. For demonic altars, their priests often must construct multiple altars to contact different spirits (false gods), depending on what they are requesting. That’s why there is the altar of baal, ashteroth, ogun, moloch, the goat god bathemat, etc. Each god has their abilities limited to specific outcomes – fertility, wealth, abundant harvests, victory in war, etc. 


We, priests to the KING of kings, only need ONE Altar, which is, the Altar of the Cross. Why? Because our GOD is not limited. HE is MASTER of everything and RULER over all the affairs of men.


6. Spirits do not die, and each altar has a priesthood. The speaking’s of the altar continue long after the original priest dies. The altar is still active and will respond to someone with bloodline rights, or with knowledge of that priesthood (the way of worship on that altar). An example is the Altar of the Cross. The BLOOD sacrifice of KING JESUS CHRIST is still speaking long after HE died and resurrected only for those who know how to apply it.


“But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities. The chastisement for our shalom was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5


“So Yeshua said to them, ‘Amen, amen I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.’” John 6:53


“And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ 20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.’” Luke 22:19-20


7. Over time, morality, culture, the lives and ways of men, are determined by their altars. For those who attend to demonic altars, their hearts are evil; therefore, they practice manipulation, lawlessness, wickedness. When GOD rejected Cain’s altar and sin accepted it, the manifestation of sin was murdering Abel. 


When we attended to the altar of the Cross, the sacrifice of KING JESUS CHRIST’s BLOOD applies to us. As we begin to minister (attend) to this altar, it changes us. We start to love, forgive, help others, etc. 

As we walk through these 21 days, we will be dealing with hard truths. What altars are still speaking over you, your children, family, ministry, or community? Where did it start? What are the original speaking’s? If they are good, how can we tap into them? If they are bad, how can we break them?


Hope you will join us for this deep journey with the HOLY SPIRIT.
