"The Anointed Altar"

Enhancing the Believer's Walk with God!

In Exodus 40:10, 29:36-37, and Numbers 7:88, we find references to the “anointed altar,” a sacred place where believers can encounter God's presence. This anointed altar in a believer's life can add significant value to their walk with God, leading to spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with Him.

The anointed altar signifies a consecrated space dedicated to seeking God, offering prayers, sacrifices, and worship. In biblical times, altars played a significant role in the religious practices of Israel. These were places where individuals and the community could approach God, seeking forgiveness, atonement, and communion. The anointed altar was set apart from ordinary objects or spaces and was specifically designated for worship and connection with the divine.

The anointed altar holds symbolic meaning as a place of surrender, intimacy, and divine encounters. Firstly, it represents surrender as individuals brought their sacrifices to the altar, symbolizing their willingness to submit to God's will and surrender their desires and sins. It signified the acknowledgment that everything belongs to God and that humans come before Him humbly.

Secondly, the anointed altar represents intimacy with God. It was a physical space where people could approach God, seek His guidance, and experience His presence. The act of offering sacrifices, or prayers, at the altar symbolized the desire for a deeper connection and relationship with the divine.

Lastly, the anointed altar signifies divine encounters. Throughout the Bible, various scenes depict the altar as a place where God met with His people. Examples can be seen in Genesis when Abraham built an altar to worship God, or when Moses met with God at the burning bush. The anointed altar was seen as a gateway to experiencing God's presence and receiving His revelations.

In summary, the anointed altar signifies a consecrated space dedicated to seeking God, offering prayers, sacrifices, and worship. It holds symbolic meaning as a place of surrender, intimacy, and divine encounters; representing humanity's willingness to submit to God, seek a deeper relationship, and experience His presence. Enhance your walk with God by spiritually endeavoring to experience the anointed altar!

"The Supremacy of Jesus Christ"

The brazen altar was the first piece of furniture the Israelites engaged with in the tabernacle of Moses for daily prayer. This shows us God’s grace from the beginning. The sacrificial lamb, Jesus Christ, represents this brazen altar. The placement and position of the brazen altar tells us we must depend upon His blood and His grace in order to boldly approach his throne.

God’s gift is not a question of human will or human effort, but a testament to God’s mercy. It depends not on one’s willingness nor on strenuous exertion as in running a race, but on God having mercy on us (Romans 9:16). Jesus shows us we should approach him in faith through His blood, His grace, and His sovereign supremacy over all human affairs. I must acknowledge daily the supreme authority of Jesus Christ over everything in my life.

His grace and blood demand this kind of exaltation in “brazen altar” worship and prayer. We are showing God we trust Him and acknowledge Him in the things He allows into our lives. It is through this kind of grace He multiplies peace in our spirit to become overachievers in the assignments of life and in building His kingdom. This grace and blood through prayer conquers fear, anxieties, and the oppositions of our enemies (I John 4:18, Psalms 44-48). So, when I practice fearing God and His word through repentance at the brazen altar, I am activating the grace and blood of Jesus Christ in prayer. We are showing He is Lord and sovereign over our entire lives when we embrace this attitude in prayer. We demonstrate grace and that the blood is fully capable to handle the mountains and oppositions of our day. He releases peace and strength into our inner man so we can face, with courage, the oppositions greater than our physical capabilities and resources.

This grace and blood from the brazen altar serve as an antiseptic for any wounds and offenses we may experience. His Spirit becomes intimate with us through prayer to provide relational comfort and healing to potentially fatal offenses. The brazen altar of Jesus Christ is designed to calibrate our attitudes in prayer so we can access the promise of God through faith, His grace, and His blood!

The Supremacy of Jesus Christ facilitates grace by His blood to combat end time insanity, offenses, and lawlessness. The brazen altar of Jesus Christ provides us this kind of access to the power of overcoming grace through prayer.

HOW TO PRAY:

1. I decree and declare that God will multiply grace in my life and my family that I might accomplish His kingdom will today.
2. I claim His cleansing blood through grace for any offenses that I have been hit with.
3. I decree and declare His supremacy, that it is greater than my dilemmas today. Jesus is sufficient in grace for what I am facing today, because of His brazen altar sacrifice.
4. I claim multiplied peace and grace towards the souls I am working with. He will in time manifest the promises of His Word towards the people that I am laboring to save even though it may look impossible right now.

The World Network of Prayer Presents 

24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer

As of January 1, 2023, WNOP has continued the 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide. It has been such a great success in 2022 that it was requested again. Each week WNOP is posting a prayer focus as daily prayer for the entire week. Also, weekly a video is posted on the WNOP Facebook Page of a prayer leader and/or minister leading in periodic prayer.

Many people throughout the world have signed up by committing in their hearts unto God that they will consistently join together in united prayer and fasting. WNOP also has partnered with those in local churches who are already a part of a current 24-hour prayer chain. All of these hours of consecration are culminating to help provide a complete mass prayer covering over the entire Church body and to help bring greater success in all that we do in Christ! Together, let’s “watch and pray” and behold great and mighty things in the kingdom of God! Let’s prevail over the enemy with victory and declare, “Not on My Watch!”

Following is the “24/7 Watch” daily prayer focus for this week. Join us in consistent prayer & fasting.

National Day of Prayer: Thursday, May 2, 2024

"For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him" (II Samuel 22:29-31).

Join us in praying for our nation!

National Prayer:

Jesus, we profess our faith in You. You are the Light of the world, and in You there is no darkness. For You are our lamp, O LORD, and our GOD who lights our darkness. Forgive us for fearing and focusing on the darkness around us instead of being filled with faith and shining like the city on a hill You have called us to be. Forgive us for the times when we have been the absence of light, allowing darkness to dwell in America. Lead us forward to dispel the darkness and bring light throughout the Church, Family, Education, Business, Military, Government, and Arts, Entertainment, and Media. We are saved by grace through faith, released from the darkness that once held us captive and now free to walk in the newness of life in You. Light dispels darkness and exposes what is hidden and wicked, so we commit to rise and shine! For by You, Lord, we can take courage to run against the enemy, and by our God we can fight the good fight and keep the faith as living lampstands in our communities and country. We fear no evil for You are with us. Lord, Your way is perfect, You lead us on paths of righteousness for Your name's sake. Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Your Word is Truth, instructing and inspiring us to live in the abundant life You gave when You saved us from the death and destruction of the enemy. Fill us with Truth as we read, study, and live Your Word. God, You are a shield for all those who take refuge in You. As we abide in You and Your Word abides in us, we take up our shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and run boldly into the darkness to Lift Up the Word and Light Up the World! In the Mighty name of Jesus we pray, amen!
