Rebuilding the Personal Altar of Prayer

We are living in what the Bible defines as the last days.  That is why the Lord is encouraging every believer to rebuild the altar of prayer in our personal lives.  Most believers will admit that they have struggled in their personal times of prayer.  I believe that we must rebuild and strengthen our personal altar of prayer.

Our personal altar of prayer is the place where we meet with God for our devotion and quiet time. It can be a particular place and time.  It can be a particular room in your home such as your study, den or bedroom.  We must make it a priority to set aside time to pray and listen for the instructions of the Holy Spirit.

Our personal altar will be a place of personal visitation.  Why not schedule out a time to meet with the Lord on a daily basis.  I believe that He longs to spend time in fellowship and communion with His children.  In Revelation 3:20 John records the words of Jesus, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”(NKJV)

No one in the Scripture was called a friend, or a minister of God who did not develop and maintain a strong personal prayer life.  God not only wants us to work for Him, but also to walk with Him in relationship.  Our Lord is looking to partner with us in fulfilling His kingdom plans. 


Those who are successful in the work of the Lord understand the power of the personal prayer altar.  To be successful in our walk and relationship with Christ we must develop a solid personal altar of prayer.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...

They Turned Back in the Day of Battle

Psalms 78:9 – “ “The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.”             Ephraim was the younger of two sons of Joseph.   His first born was Manasseh.   It was Ephraim that received the blessing of Jacob.   The tribe of Ephraim became the largest of the ten northern tribes of Israel.   Many times the Bible used the name Ephraim to represent the whole nation of Israel.             In verse 9 they are armed and carrying bows.   They are dressed, equipped, and ready to battle.   Yet we learn that they turned back in the day of battle.   The Bible identifies this as sin.   To turn back in the day of battle was displeasing to God.               To be armed meant that they were equipped with armor, a sword, and a shield. ...
