Are you tired of feeling stuck in a cycle of delay and poverty? Do you feel like no matter what you do, you just can't seem to break free from these burdens? Well, I have good news for you – you don't have to carry these altars of delay and poverty any longer. In Jesus' name, you can break them once and for all. First of all, let's define what we mean by "altars of delay and poverty." Altars are physical or spiritual structures used for worship or sacrifice. In this case, we're referring to the negative spiritual structures that hold us back from experiencing God's blessings and abundance in our lives. These altars can take on different forms – it could be unhealthy mindsets, generational curses, or even physical obstacles. And delay and poverty are the outcomes of these altars, causing us to feel stagnant and lacking in our lives. But here's the catch – these altars are not from God. In fact, God wants us to live in abundance and prosperity (John 10:10). So why do we still find ourselves trapped in such circumstances? The truth is, it is often because of our worries. We worry about our finances, our future, and our relationships. We worry about not being good enough or not having enough. And when we worry, we give these negative altars power over our lives. One of the most powerful weapons against these altars is prayer. In Philippians 4:6, it says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Prayer is a direct conversation with God, and when we bring our worries to Him, He promises to give us peace that surpasses all understanding. So instead of dwelling on our problems, let's choose to pray and trust that God will take care of us. Another way to break these altars is by declaring God's Word over our lives. In Proverbs 18:21, it says, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Our words have more power than we realize, and when we declare God's promises over our lives, we are speaking life into our situations. So instead of speaking about delay and poverty, let's declare God's truth – that we are blessed, prosperous, and victorious in Jesus' name. Furthermore, we must also take practical steps towards breaking these altars. Sometimes, our worries can cause us to become complacent and not take action. But remember, faith without works is dead (James 2:26). So if we want to see breakthrough in our lives, we must also take steps of faith. This could mean seeking financial advice, working on our mindset, or even making lifestyle changes. Whatever it may be, let's trust that God will guide us and give us the strength to take action. Lastly, surround yourself with people who will encourage and support you in breaking these altars. Proverbs 13:20 says, "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." We are greatly influenced by the people we spend time with, so let's choose to surround ourselves with those who will speak life and faith into our situations. Join a Bible study group, attend church services regularly, or simply reach out to a friend who can pray with you. In conclusion, we all face altars of delay and poverty in our lives. But we don't have to let them consume us. In Jesus' name, we have the power to break them and live in abundance. So let's choose to pray, declare God's promises, take practical steps, and surround ourselves with faith-filled people. And soon enough, we will see those altars crumble before our eyes. Remember, God is bigger than our worries, and He has already won the battle for us. So let's place our trust in Him and break free from these altars of delay and poverty.
