Breaking Evil Altars the God’s Way – Part 2
Introduction
There are many signs and symptoms that point to the presence of evil altars in the lives of individuals and families. These include mysterious deaths, insanity, incurable diseases and sicknesses, endless cycles of divorce, and persistent financial struggles. These indicators are not mere coincidences—they often point to deeply rooted spiritual issues operating from unseen realms. In this article, we delve deeper to understand what connects a person to these evil altars. There must be cords, ties, or spiritual ropes that bind individuals to negative spiritual programs. Until these connections are severed, freedom remains elusive. Our focus is to explore how the scriptures teach us to break free from these entanglements and walk in the liberty that Christ offers.
Understanding the Cords That Bind
Imagine a donkey pulling a cart filled with Bamburi cement. The donkey exerts itself, struggling under the weight of its burden. But how exactly is the donkey connected to the cart? Through a rope—simple, yet powerful. As long as the rope holds, the donkey remains tethered to the heavy load. The moment the rope is cut, the donkey is free.
Likewise, many believers are spiritually yoked to evil altars, pulling heavy burdens of curses, patterns, and cycles that are not theirs to bear. One can be faithfully attending church every week and still remain bound, because the ropes—the spiritual ties—have not been identified and broken.
The Invitation of Christ
Jesus gives a profound invitation in Matthew 11:28:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
This rest is not just physical relaxation—it is a spiritual reprieve, a divine disconnection from burdens we were never meant to carry. But He doesn’t stop there.
In Matthew 11:29, Jesus continues:
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
This is the key—take my yoke and learn from me. Deliverance is not just about breaking away from darkness but also binding oneself to light. There is no spiritual vacuum. You must unyoke from the world and yoke yourself to Christ. This is not automatic; it is a personal journey of discipleship. Being a weekend churchgoer is not the same as being a disciple. Discipleship is a deliberate path of learning, submitting, and walking with Jesus.
The Ropes Behind the Patterns
Once you yoke yourself to Jesus, He begins to show you the real reasons behind your burdens. Take, for example, a family plagued by repeated divorces. Behind this altar may be ropes of excessive anger, infidelity, or unforgiveness. These behaviors, although seemingly natural, are spiritual ropes that empower the altar of divorce. They are the works of the flesh mentioned in Galatians 5:19-21—sexual immorality, fits of rage, jealousy, selfish ambition, and so forth. These carnal behaviors become the fuel for demonic systems to thrive.
Evil altars draw strength from carnality. The more you operate in the flesh, the more you unknowingly sacrifice to these altars. You may be giving large offerings in church, fasting regularly, or praying daily—but as long as the flesh remains your base of operation, those sacrifices may not yield the freedom you desire.
The Truth That Sets Free
John 8:32 says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Truth is not just knowledge—it is the person of Christ and His Word. Once you identify the parasite—whether it is pride, anger, lust, or bitterness—you must starve it. The truth starves the lies and the patterns that empower evil. Freedom begins with revelation and is sustained by transformation.
You cannot dwell in the same spiritual house with the devil and expect deliverance. The flesh is the devil’s office. If you report for duty in his office, the wage is death, not life. That’s why Galatians 5:13 reminds us:
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh.”
Liberty in Christ is not a license to sin; it is the power to overcome it. Christ didn’t just set us free from something; He set us free for something—a life of righteousness, peace, and power.
Conclusion
Breaking evil altars the God’s way is not a one-time event; it is a continual process of spiritual exchange. You must first identify the ropes, the spiritual cords that tie you to evil systems. Then, through discipleship, truth, and obedience, you sever those cords and yoke yourself to Jesus. There is no freedom without Christ—and no deliverance without discipleship. Evil altars may be stubborn, but the truth of God is stronger. You are not destined to carry burdens you were never designed to bear. Jesus is still calling: “Come to me…”
Choose His yoke, and find your freedom.
