The subject of altars is as old as the Bible, because neither God nor satan can use a person who is not connected to an altar. All the great men or women of the Bible, such as Abraham or David, were connected to godly altars that they built and attended to in their service of God. I want to address two important questions: Why are altars so important to both God and the devil? How can you discern the presence of evil altars affecting your life or bloodline?

To answer the first question, it would be beneficial for us to define what an altar is within the context of the Holy Scriptures:

An altar is a supernatural landing strip, a meeting place, a power station, a consecrated place, a place of exchange, where spirits (God, angels or demons) land. It is where humanity meets with divinity!

Altars are also divine systems of authorization for covenants, promises and rituals that have been made in any bloodline.

Since the fall of Adam and Eve, we see that two types of altars have been in full operation on Earth, namely:

1. Godly or righteous altars
2. Evil or unrighteous altars

 
All altars in the Bible, whether righteous or evil, operate on the same basic premise. Once we come to terms with the above definition, it becomes abundantly clear why both God and satan love to operate through altars. Altars allow the world of spirit to engage the natural world on legal grounds, without violating man’s God-given dominion mandated in Genesis 1:26.

This leads us to the second question: How can you discern the presence of evil altars affecting your life or bloodline? Let’s look at Genesis 4:3-5 (ampc):

And in the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground. And Abel brought of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat portions. And the Lord had respect and regard for Abel and for his offering, but for Cain and his offering He had no respect or regard. So Cain was exceedingly angry and indignant, and he looked sad and depressed.

Perhaps there is no biblical story that displays the difference between righteous and evil altars more clearly than the story of Cain and Abel. These blood brothers each built an altar to engage God’s power. Cain offered vegetables on his altar, whereas his brother killed the best of his flock and placed it on his altar. 

The fire of God fell on Abel’s altar and consumed the sacrifice, but God refused to engage Cain’s altar. Why? Because Cain’s offering of vegetables was bloodless and came from the ground the Lord had already cursed in Genesis 3. Then Cain killed his brother and openly defied God’s authority. 

This story shows us the true nature of evil altars. Evil altars are designed to bring life to the accursed thing and to cause men to be lifted up in pride. Therefore, it’s important for us to know how to discern and destroy these evil altars in our bloodline. I have discovered that the only place where we can destroy an evil altar is in the COURTS OF HEAVEN!

The best way to discern if an evil altar is at work in your life so you can break free of it is by understanding one of the basic laws of an altar, which says “all altars are places of ritual.” A ritual is a repetitive activity. Before I pray for people to be delivered from oppressive evil altars in their life, I look for repetitive cycles of behaviour or happenings that violate the revealed nature of God. For instance, getting angry is not a sin if our anger is measured and short lived. Unfortunately, there are many people who go through endless cycles of anger. Even when they apologize for their anger and hurtful responses, they end up blowing up in anger shortly after. This is a sure sign that such a person is a victim of the spirit of anger. The same goes for people whose mood shifts constantly between joy and depression; an evil altar is clearly at work. 

So, look for repetitive cycles of behaviour or occurrences in your life which cause you or others pain and violate the nature of Messiah Jesus. What you will find are evil altars which have been hiding in plain sight! The following real-life testimonies will help illustrate my point.

 “I have seen the prayers in [Francis Myles’] book answered. I had not spoken with my sister in 2 years and after breaking the evil altars in my bloodline we now talk every day. ELOHIM can do in one moment what I have been trying to change all of my life. Thank you, Jesus!”—Betty P.

“We received a healing testimony from the Sunday morning that you spoke at our church. Someone [who was not at the church] had a tumor. Someone from our church texted them and told them to watch the service as you were talking about tumors being connected to evil altars in the bloodline. They watched the service and then prayed with you as you took us into the Courts of Heaven to prosecute evil altars in our bloodline. This person went back to the doctor and the tumor was completely gone! Hallelujah!”—Pastor Jeff Dollar

Signs of a Destroyed Evil Altar!

And he gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the Lord has spoken: Behold, the altar shall be split and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out” (1 Kings 13:3 ampc). 

How can you tell the evil altar in your life has been destroyed?

Order Dr. Francis’ Book and 3-CD Set Dangerous Prayers from the Courts of Heaven & Destroying Evil Altars

1. The human attendant to the evil altar loses the power to control others using the voice of the evil altar. At this point, God silences the voice of the evil altar, making it impossible for its human attendants to draw power from it (1 Kings 18).

2.  Supernatural power shifts from the evil altar to the child of God. When an evil altar is judged, its oppressive influence over a person or family bloodline is permanently broken, and the anointing increases in the life of a child of God.

3.  God’s power splits the evil altar into pieces, making future use by anyone impossible. Once an evil altar has been prosecuted and judged in the Courts of Heaven, its malicious influence in the believer’s life or family unit stops. I believe the exact opposite begins to take place.

4.  The power of sickness and witchcraft are entirely broken. 

God’s healing power is released to heal people previously infected by the evil altar!

5.  God turns yesterday’s ashes into something beautiful when the ashes from the altar fall to the ground. This is a prophetic picture of how God will restore the spiritual, emotional, and financial fortunes of people previously bound by an evil altar.

I urge you to identify and tear down the unholy altars and close the enemy’s entryways into your life today!

Dear Mishpochah (Family) By Sid Roth

“For I am about to do something new. See I have already begun! Do you not see it?” Isaiah 43:19

This year is the 45th anniversary of my evangelistic ministry. But since the day I had my encounter with Jesus, which was 50 years ago, you might say I have been in ministry. Before I had even read the entire New Covenant, I was sharing my testimony almost every week for the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International all over the United States. 

This led to a major secular Washington, DC newspaper writing a front-page article about me! Then Kathryn Kuhlman, who had the greatest miracle ministry of my lifetime, read the newspaper article and invited me to do two national television interviews.

Kathryn offered to mentor me if I relocated to Pittsburg, PA. I always regretted turning her down, but I see now it was God. If I had moved in the same gifting as her, I would have missed platforming the best teachers of the supernatural on the planet through my TV show, and so many believers would not have learned how to operate in the supernatural of God. Of course, operating in the supernatural is not an end in itself. The purpose of miracles is evangelism! 

I also have had the high privilege of exposing the church to God’s heart for Jewish evangelism. Even today most Christians who love Israel and the Jewish people are ONLY expressing it through humanitarian activity. We believe in and bless Israel with humanitarian kindness. BUT if a Jewish nonbeliever loves the humanitarian kindness of a Christian and dies in their sins, what good is that?

This is why we have distributed over 3.3 million copies of my Jewish evangelistic books worldwide so far—including over 2.2 million copies that were mailed to Jewish homes in North America! The purpose of Jewish evangelism is to be a catalyst for worldwide Gentile evangelism.

If Paul were alive today, he would say the same words about the Jewish people as he said 2,000 years ago in Romans 10:14-15 (NKJV): How then shall they [the Jewish people] call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?

I am so grateful for your partnership in reaching souls! God has exceeded my wildest expectations with our “Lectures on the Supernatural” outreaches as I started winning Jewish non-believers to Jesus in numbers that have not happened in Israel in almost 2,000 years. 

God also outdid Himself by allowing me to purchase Middle East Television network (METV). This network is available to EVERY home in Israel that owns a television set as part of the basic package. METV also reaches the entire Middle East.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME! God is saying to me and you in Isaiah 43:18-19 (NLT): Forget all that [what God has done for you in the past]—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers [of Living Water] in [all your] dry wasteland.

No one can see what this new move of God will look like because we will walk in paths never walked in before, but I know certain things about the new. It will be the most intense outpouring of God’s presence in history! Billions—both Jews and Gentiles—are about ready to turn to the Lord. This move will not be led by just a few superstars, but hundreds of thousands of believers will walk in a greater anointing than even Kathryn Kuhlman. We will see record numbers of Jews come to the Lord. These new Jewish evangelists will spark the largest Gentile harvest in history! It will be ALL hands on deck! And I have the high privilege of equipping you with the new. If we hang on to the old, we will miss the new!

Here’s my best advice to prepare for the new:

1. Make Jesus your Lord and King, not just a free pass to heaven!

2. Pray in tongues as much as possible.

3. Read and meditate on the Word more.

4. Operate in instant obedience.

5. Operate in instant repentance.

6. Spend time being STILL and in silent awe of God. 

7. Always be grateful to God for His goodness and let His praise be continually in your mouth!
