How do we deal with our father's Altars?
First and foremost we need to understand where and what our father were involved in during their days.
Whom did they worship? Whom and where did they offer sacrifices? Did they cut covenants on Altars?
We need to do some sort of investigations of the issues of our families. One way of doing so is to try and identify some of what we call weird behaviors in our families as mentioned earlier.
As we do these investigations we need to bear in mind that Altars is a spiritual matter and it has to be dealt with spiritually. The reason we are to do deep searching is because we will need to do deep repentance of the sins of our fathers.
In the book of Daniel 9. When Daniel understood why the Israelite were in captivity he took it upon himself to bring repentance of the sins that had caused the Israelites to be taken onto captivity in Babylon for over 70 years. He did what we call identification repentance.
When we repent we are asking God who bless to forgive us because our fathers sinned against him.
We bring a contention of the things that our fathers believed in and renounce them before God and man in prayer.
We also identify what were the covenants that our fathers cut on these altars and we reject and renounce them using the standards of the word of God.
It is important to note that some of the believes of our father are still in us, so before we bring the identification repentance we must make sure that we ourselves are right with God. We take a lesson from the book of Judges 6:18-24. whereby before Gideon went for battle he himself built a personal altar to God and called it the Lord is peace even though there was no peace in Israel at that time. He first reconciled himself to God even before he destroyed His father's Altar then he was ready to go for battle.
Dealing with Altars is a project that we need to involve God from the beginning to the end. Some of the things that our fathers did nobody knows them therefore we need God to reveal them to us as we pray.
We said Altars allow powers that be to rule over a people and places. We also need to identify principalities and powers that were allowed or enthroned over our lives and family after which by using the word and authority of God vested on us we dethrone such principalities and powers. We break the influence that these principalities and powers has had over our lives and our loved ones, we also renounce the spirits that have been at work that were supervising the altars of our fathers'. (i.e spirits of witchcraft,drunkenness Antichrist,Ancestral spirits and etc.)
Then as Gideon and his friends did,you destroy, overthrow,uproot and cast down all ungodly altars.
After doing so you build and plant Godly Altars to the true living God. You invite God to be God in your affairs and that of you family and everything in it.
Just us Gideon invited his friends its important to invite servants of God to help you deal with the Altars of the fathers.
MAY THE SPIRIT OF GOD GIVE YOU WISDOM AND REVELATION TO DEAL WITH THE ALTARS OF YOUR FATHERS:
