EVERY CHRISTIAN CHOOSES BETWEEN TWO ALTARS

February 18

eloved of God, every Christian is empowered of God so that they have the choice of bowing down to one of two altars in their life. This message from heaven will greatly encourage and bless you as you listen to your Father. You may ask, “Father, what are those two altars.”

First, you have the power to choose to bow down to an altar of fear. Connected to that same altar of fear are such things as: discouragement, negative speaking and thinking, even going so far as bowing down to the altar of despair. You may say, “Lord, who in their right mind would bow down to one of these altars?” I remind you Child of God that every time that you give up in discouragement and allow it to rule your mind and person, you have made that altar greater and more powerful than the second holy altar. “Which altar is the holy altar,” you ask?

The second altar to which you are empowered to bow down to is the altar of praise and worship. Inherent in the word “worship” in the original language is the idea of bowing down. In other words, if you bow down to an altar of discouragement or defeat or negativism, you have refused to bow down to the altar of praise and worship. You also have in that holy altar the idea of bowing down before God in prayer and thanksgiving. As you directly refuse to bow down to fear, despair, negativism and discouragement, you then will need to rise and go to the holy altar of God. Here you will meet with Him in the very moment of your greatest attack of evil. Here you will find the holy presence of God and the strength to rise and go forth in pure victory and the joy of the Lord. What is your choice, child of God?

Prayer

O Lord of Heaven, I thank you profusely for the gift of making a holy choice to bow down to no other altar than to the altar of trust, love, encouragement and great joy. I will go there often to worship you O Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen!
