Breaking Altars

Altars—both physical and spiritual—are powerful spiritual systems of covenant and sacrifice. In families, demonic altars are often erected by ancestors or individuals through rituals, sacrifices, or agreements with dark powers. These altars serve as platforms through which demonic spirits operate, and they can destroy individuals and entire family lines if not broken.

Here’s how altars are used in families to destroy people and destinies:

1. Altars Establish Evil Covenants

An altar is where covenants are made. When someone in your lineage makes a pact with spirits—whether for protection, wealth, fertility, or power—they often raise an altar (knowingly or unknowingly). That altar becomes a legal ground for demons to operate across generations, binding descendants to the original agreement.

• Example: A grandfather dedicates the family to a shrine for wealth. Generations after him suffer cycles of sudden death, barrenness, or madness because the demonic covenant was never broken.

2. Altars Demand Sacrifices (Including Lives)

Demonic altars often require regular sacrifices—blood, suffering, or acts of sin. When those demands aren’t met, the spirits behind the altar attack family members to extract it.

• Signs: Repeated miscarriages, premature deaths, accidents at the same age, poverty, and mental illness.

3. Altars Enforce Evil Patterns

Family altars are responsible for recurring negative patterns—cycles that repeat in each generation despite efforts to break free.

• Examples:
  • No one gets married or stays married.
  • Men die before 50.
  • No one rises above a certain level financially or academically.
  • Alcoholism or sexual perversion follows the bloodline.

These are spiritual systems programmed through altars.

4. Altars Imprison Destinies

Altars can be used to capture and delay destinies. They spiritually bind a person's purpose and gifts, making them ineffective or hidden. A person may have potential, but never realize it due to an altar speaking limitation.

• Examples: Someone with high intellect but always fails exams. A gifted singer never gets an opportunity. A visionary always meets closed doors.

5. Altars Attract Familiar Spirits

Altars become access points for familiar spirits—demons assigned to monitor and manipulate family members. These spirits know your patterns, weaknesses, and history, and they work to maintain bondage.

• They influence choices, relationships, dreams, and even emotions, keeping people under the influence of the altar.

6. Altars Accuse and Block Prayers

Altars serve as legal grounds for accusation in the spirit realm. They can block prayers, hinder deliverance, or delay blessings because of unresolved ancestral covenants.

• Revelation 12:10 speaks of the "accuser of the brethren." Altars often function through demonic accusation.

7. Altars are Reinforced through Family Practices

Family traditions (e.g., idol worship, ancestral festivals, pouring libations, certain names) can renew and reinforce the power of the altar unknowingly.

• Participating in these seemingly harmless rituals can reactivate dormant altars.

8. Altars Operate Through Bloodlines

Even if you never participated, you can be affected if you’re part of the bloodline tied to the altar. This is why people suffer from things they can’t trace, because of bloodline covenants.

How to Break Free

• Repentance & Renunciation (1 John 1:9)
• Blood of Jesus (Hebrews 12:24)
• Deliverance Prayers & Fasting (Mark 9:29)
• Holy Communion – to spiritually disconnect from evil altars
• Raising a godly altar – worship, prayer, sacrifice unto God (Genesis 12:7)

Prayer to Break Generational Altars and Covenants

Heavenly Father, In the name of Jesus Christ, I come before You as Your child, redeemed by the blood of Jesus. I stand on the finished work of the cross, and I declare that I belong to You—spirit, soul, and body.

Lord, I renounce and break every generational altar raised by my ancestors, knowingly or unknowingly, that speaks against my destiny. Every blood sacrifice, every dedication, every evil covenant made on my behalf or by my bloodline—I reject and renounce it now in Jesus’ name.

I declare that Jesus Christ is the only altar I am connected to. His blood speaks better things than the blood of Abel. Let the voice of the blood of Jesus silence every evil voice crying from family altars that seek to keep me in bondage.

I break every spiritual chain, every curse, every covenant, every legal ground the enemy has used through these ancestral altars. I declare by the authority in the name of Jesus that I am delivered permanently from their power.

Father, send Your fire to destroy every evil altar speaking against my life, my marriage, my children, my career, my health, and my destiny. Let every point of contact between me and those altars be consumed now by the fire of the Holy Ghost.

I bind every familiar spirit operating through these altars. I cast them out in Jesus’ name. Let them never return.

By the blood of Jesus, I rewrite my spiritual DNA. I disconnect myself and my future generations from every evil foundation and reconnect us to the covenant of life, blessing, and righteousness through Christ.

I decree:

• No more backwardness.
• No more sickness or untimely death.
• No more poverty or shame.
• No more spiritual stagnation.

I seal this deliverance with the blood of Jesus, and I declare that every broken altar shall never rise again. From today, I walk in freedom, victory, and divine favor, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Amen.

You can pray this multiple times, as led by the Holy Spirit, especially during fasting. Include Scripture like:

• Hebrews 12:24 – “...the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.”
• Galatians 3:13-14 – “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law...”
• Jeremiah 1:10 – “...to root out, to pull down, to destroy, and to throw down, to build and to plant.”
• Colossians 2:14-15 – “...having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us...”
