📖 Introduction: What Is an Evil Altar?

An evil altar is a spiritual platform where covenants are established, sacrifices are made, and demonic powers are invoked against individuals, families, or territories. These altars may be physical or spiritual—raised by ancestors, witchcraft agents, occultic groups, or even through personal sin and idolatry.

Altars are places of transaction—whether divine or demonic. If God’s altars release blessings, then evil altars are responsible for bondage, delay, confusion, failure, and spiritual attacks.

🙏🏾 The Power of Prayer Against Evil Altars

Prayer is a spiritual weapon that tears down evil altars and raises godly altars of righteousness. When you engage in violent, targeted prayers, the legal ground of the enemy is broken, and demonic powers lose their hold.

Isaiah 54:17 – “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper...”
Jeremiah 1:10 – “See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down...”
