Many believers are currently realizing that darkness is spreading all around them. But they also see that prayer, as we currently practice it, lacks the power to break through this darkness. The depth of their own walk with the Lord no longer seems strong enough to bring about change. Many believers are therefore struggling against increasing attacks of discouragement from the darkness. Hopelessness seems to be gaining more and more ground.
Devastation and destructive consequences seem unimaginable if we do not soon see God at work.
More and more often, calls to pray from God’s throne room are heard in churches. Yet hardly anyone knows an effective strategy for how to enter this throne room and thus into God’s presence. Many do receive the vision of praying from the throne room. However, those who truly live in intimate fellowship with God know that there is still a struggle ahead from the vision to actually living in God’s presence.
Thus, a desperate longing for God’s intervention and help grows.
God, however, has unfolded a plan that transforms cities and nations—a strategy He employs among the nations to withhold His hand of judgment and bring about an outpouring of His Spirit in families, churches, cities, and nations.
This is the strategy of the altars, which God already had Abraham practice to secure the Promised Land.
Through the sacrifice of Jesus, everyone who believes that Jesus is the Son of God and accepts Him as their Lord and Savior is born again as a new creation. Thus, we who have come to faith belong to the royal priesthood of God.
Consequently, each one of us is called to be built up into a spiritual house. This also includes building up our hearts into a spiritual altar (1 Peter 2:5; 2:9) within the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), which we have become.
The personal altar opens heaven to us, so that God’s angels have direct access to us and our physical surroundings at all times. On the other hand, we have direct access to God’s throne room to live in fellowship with Him.
Direct fellowship with God through our personal prayer altar not only transforms us into the likeness of Jesus but also changes the entire atmosphere in our surroundings. Wherever we go after setting up our personal altar, God’s angels will swarm out, and the Kingdom of God will begin to manifest. People will become thirsty and hungry for God and His Kingdom, and the Holy Spirit will draw them to us so that they may be baptized. Healing and deliverance will take place in our surroundings because the power of God works through our altar from the open heavens, even independently of us.
When prayer altars are built, heaven evangelizes. The example of Uganda shows us that a network of prayer altars has transformed an Islamic country into a nation of God, where today over 85% of the population professes faith in Jesus Christ.
