THE ALTAR SACRIFICE
- TODAY'S BIBLE TEXT
Text: Isaiah 53:5-10
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

THE ALTAR SACRIFICE
Text: Isaiah 53:5-10
Memory verse: Exodus 20: 24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name, I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
Every Altar requires sacrifice. A sacrifice is a religious rite in which an object is offered to a divinity to establish, maintain, or restore the right of relationship of a human being to the sacred order. It is a complex phenomenon that has been found in the earliest forms of worship and in all parts of the world. The worship of God needs and uses the Altar to influence souls. In the same way the worship of Satan also needs an altar to launch out and to afflict souls.
Most people today are familiar with the concept of blessing. But they know little about the idea of sacrifice, particularly on an altar. A sacrifice on the altar influences the spiritual to affect the physical. The sacrifice on the altar is given by humans as an exchange for a spiritual blessing. When God instructed Moses to build the Tabernacle in the wilderness, He told him how to make a place for sacrifice: “An altar of earth [natural materials, including stone] you shall make for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep, and your oxen. In every place where I record My name, I will come to you, and I will bless you”. The sacrificial altar reminds us that our sin requires a sacrificial substitute so that we may obtain forgiveness from God and that Jesus came to fulfil this great purpose. The sacrifice on the altar is usually something very important to you. Something precious to you. That is why you see an occultic alter requesting for a soul of someone so dear to influence the spiritual.
The death of Jesus on the cross was the sacrifice offered by God to appease himself and to make way for us to access His blessings. He was called the only begotten son of God and offered on the altar of sacrifice. The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and the use of his blood to atone for our sins is the ultimate sacrifice. The last required blood sacrifice to the ultimate altar, the altar of God. This is what made the Altar of God supreme and ultimate. It is because it was offered and accepted by God and heaven as the last and the most important altar. No further blood is required from any animal or human. The blood offered by Jesus Christ became superior and the victory over Satan and all the satanic altars anywhere in the world. Jesus Christ is the ultimate sacrifice on the Cross (The Ultimate Altar). Therefore, you need the blood of Jesus and God’s Altar, the cross to overpower every other altar set against you.
Today the sacrifice required from us and acceptable to God is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart. The purpose of Hebrew rituals and sacrifices was to mediate forgiveness to the people and to restore their relationship with God. But God cannot restore the relationship if we do not come to him with an honest and sincere heart. Before you can apply this blood and use this special Altar of God against every other Altar, you need Christ in your life, you need to surrender to Jesus to access the ultimate sacrifice and the ultimate altar against every other evil altar set against you. Commit your heart to God now and see God influencing your life and destroying the works of darkness in and against your life.

CGDS HYMN 29: SS&S 642:
WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of his Word
What a glory he sheds on our way
While we do his good will, he abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies
But his smile quickly drives it away
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share
But our toil he doth richly repay
Not a grief nor a loss, not a frown or a cross
But is blest if we trust and obey4. But we never can prove the delights of his love
Until all on the altar we lay
For the favor he shows, and the joy he bestows
Are for them who will trust and obeyThen in fellowship sweet we will sit at his feet
Or we will walk by his side in the way
What he says we will do, where he sends we will go
Never fear, only trust and obey - TODAY'S PRAYERS
