The POWER of Altars ....
The Almighty God, the Father is a Holy King. HE will only permit humans in HIS presence to address HIM in a holy form. The human nature is automatically sinful/ unholy. So in order for us to appear blameless/ holy before God, we need Jesus' intervention. It is our relationship with Jesus that transforms our appearance to the Father. God does not tolerate sin. That's why Jesus, came to earth. HE came as a bridge for mankind. We assume Jesus' holiness in order to enter into God's presence.
Jesus came as a spirit who inhabited a human body. HE is the only full form of complete human righteousness that has ever appeared in the earth. Hence, for us to appear righteous before the Almighty God we need(ed) to use Jesus as our scapegoat. Light and darkness cannot co-exist. Sin represents darkness. We need to first repent. The human nature is unholy/unrighteous. Prior to Jesus' coming to the earth, God accepted sacrifices on an altar from a high priest. Hebrews 9

The business of dominion and power is a complete process. At an altar humans receive and or revoke power and authority. The reason the Hebrew nations were feared in history was because of the power of their 'living' God. It starts with repentance. Romans 8 Repentance includes:
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
Matthew 28: 18
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
"I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and to trample on all the power of the Enemy; and in no case shall anything do you harm.
"Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them".
- Acknowledgement of our sinful human nature
- Acknowledgement of existence of the spiritual nature
- Choosing to be dominated by the spiritual nature
- Inviting Jesus to be Lord of the process
Genesis 1: 26-30
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, HE gave man dominion. However, the devil tricked man into transferring his dominion rights to him. As a result man lost dominion. God sent Jesus into the earth to restore dominion and power to man. But in order for that to happen, we would have to follow the process.
Jesus, after he returned from the wilderness where he was tempted by the devil; the first thing HE said was REPENT. If you want to be a victor instead of a victim you have to walk in obedience and resemblance to who and what Jesus said and did.
THIS IS THE PROCESS:
- Repentance
- The Word
- Sacrifice
- Personal Sacrifice
- Sacrifice of Praise & Worship
- Prayers (petitions, etc...)
- Sacrificial Gift
- Prophecy
An altar is like an airport. It is a place of commuter exchange in the spirit realm. It is the only point in the earth where a spirit can enter the physical realm through the form of a body. It's a gateway. It is the most powerful place on earth. Destinies gain/ lose strength there. There are two major powers. The altar of the 'Throne of Grace' represents good, and the altar of 'sin and iniquity' represents evil. Evil altars are a copycat of good altars. At an altar there is a god who demands acknowledgement and sacrifices in return for power. The Almighty God is the God of the Throne of Grace, while the devil is the god of sin and iniquity.
The Almighty God is a King, therefore HIS WORD is law. It is important to know HIS WORD in order to effectively communicate with HIM. God requires repentance from humans for first giving up their dominion (which HE gave them) to the devil. Romans 10 The only thing that a human has that God did not first give to him is worship. Everything originates with God. Because HE has freely given you everything you have, your correct response of acceptance and appreciation must always be one of sacrifice. Romans 12 God has a protocol. Everything which HE requires has an outline. Psalms 100, Psalms 150, Matthew 6, Philippians 4, Proverbs 3, Leviticus 27, etc... When we follow HIS protocol HE gives us HIS revelation by way of a prophecy. A prophecy is a message that has been communicated to a person by a supernatural entity. Everything the devil does is a copycat to God.
Once a human takes back his dominion from the devil then he is in right standing with The Almighty God. He then has more power than the devil based on his reconciliation which Jesus enabled.
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
It was a serpent who tricked Adam and Eve into giving up their dominion. Jesus restored dominion over this same serpent. Matthew 16
Luke 10: 19
Matthew 18: 18-20
The only way to live according to the ordinance of God is to walk in obedience to HIS Laws. 1 Peter 2 Man was made to live a fulfilling life full of power and dominion. Altars give power and repentance gives dominion. Draw nigh unto God and HE will draw nigh unto you. James 4 You cannot serve two masters. Victory belongs to Jesus. When HE died on the cross HE declared "it is finished!"Revelation 1 The ultimate power belongs to The Almighty God and HIS children. It's your choice today. Take back control!
