The Believer and His Priesthood: The Sixteen Laws of an Altar, Part 2

Apostle Grant Farah 9 August 2026 7 min read

Altars:

  1. Are Places of Ritual Repetitive Activity.
  • Spirits are very attracted to consistency.
  • Some of us don’t make it very far because we start things then stop along the way.
  • If you look at the nature of God, He is consistent.

Malachi 3:6 (KJV)

6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

James 1:17 (KJV)

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV)

8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

  • You even notice with darkness you can realise there are certain evil altars that cause patterns in your life.
  • Some families get sick at a certain time of year, some experience deaths at a certain time of year.
  • This should make it easier for you to come against these attacks with altars of light.
  • This is also why you should be careful of offices or titles you take over, you can inherit spiritual battles.

2 Samuel 21:1 (KJV)

1 Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.

  • There was a famine upon the land because of what Saul did.
  1. Speak.

Revelation 16:7 (KJV)

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

  • Even if you don’t have all the right words altars can speak on your behalf.
  • Man speaks to the ear of God but altars speak to the heart of God.

Genesis 8:20-21 (KJV)

20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

  • Notice how God answered in His Heart.
  • God had to change certain decisions he had made against man.

Acts 10:2 (KJV)

2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

  • He had two major altars, alms and prayer.

Acts 10:3-4 (KJV)

3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

  • His altar began to speak directly into the heart of God.
  • He didn’t even know that he needed the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
  • The altar knew what he needed and moved the heart of God for him to receive him.

Acts 10:44 (KJV)

44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

  1. Have the Capacity to Override Any Judgement from God.
  • There are certain things you don’t need to suggest that your forefathers suffered.
  • You may not know the types of calamity that is in your bloodline but when you raise altars you will realise you become exempt from those things.
  • David had made a mistake and the children of Israel were being punished for it by death, 70 000 men died because of the judgment God sent.
  • The angel however gets to a certain place and the Word says He repents.

2 Samuel 24:16 (KJV)

16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.

Numbers 23:19 (KJV)

19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

  • What was in this certain place that made God repent?

Genesis 22:2 (KJV)

2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

2 Chronicles 3:1 (NIV)

1 Then Solomon began to build the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.

  • This place was actually where Abraham raised his altar with his son Isaac.
  • Araunah was in a place with such power and he didn’t even realise it.

2 Samuel 24:25 (KJV)

25 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

  • Altars can cause judgements that come from God to be put to an end.
  • God does not tabernacle with all believers the same.
  • It is evident that some Christians have a greater level of command in the realms of the spirit.
  • This difference is due to altars.
  1. Altar Behaviour.
  • An altar can make you act in a certain way.
  • Don’t just accept any and every gift certain tokens are connected to altars that will make you act in a certain way.

Numbers 23:29-30 (KJV)

29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

  • This also shows you that not every prophet is a prophet of God, he seemed to be into divination.
  • He wanted to curse the children of Israel but because of the altars the children of Israel had he couldn’t curse them.

Numbers 24:10 (KJV)

10 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

  • He wasn’t able to curse them he started to bless them.
  • However the people later in the book of Numbers started acting strange because of these 7 altars.

Numbers 25:3-4 (KJV)

3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

  • Because they did not defy those altars they began to alter their behaviour and place them under a curse.
  • When you see your self making foolish mistakes at times its not really you, its altars of darkness you haven’t yet dealt with.
  • Look at why we are saying don’t just accept any gifts:

Matthew 26:15-16 (KJV)

15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

  • It was not just a gift, it was given to him to act in a way they needed to capture Jesus.
  • This is why we ask you not to do these unnecessary gatherings such as baby showers and kitchen teas.
  • You don’t know what instructions other gifts are sent with.
