Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Praise the Lord. Praise the lord. Welcome to 2025. What the word says. Triumph. 2025. We are back and we are going to do what we always do best, what we know how to do best, which is look at what the Word says and share with you.
[00:00:18] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:00:19] Speaker A: What the Word says, family from the Word of God. And we look at what is the Word of God saying for us in this season, in this time. That is what our program Triumph is about. Triumph is about sharing with you the things that God wants you to pay attention to and to do in His Word during this time so that we can live a triumphant life. So that you can live a glorious life. So thank you so much for the support. Thank you so much for those who have been coming to the website, reading the articles, participating in the prayers, teach us how to pray. Just the other week, we just had five days of prayer and declaration.
[00:00:59] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:01:00] Speaker A: And I trust that you are blessed. Those of you who joined, I know that you were blessed. But this is 2025, and now we're going to get into what the Lord is telling us we need to focus on and put our attention on in this year, what we can add from all the things that he began to share with us from last year. Triumph was a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful year for the things that we got to share with you, the Word of God that we got to share with you.
I really, really thank God for the opportunity to be able to share, to have the platform to share this word with you, the Word of God with you, and the things that God is doing, you know, in this time. And it's such a awesome, awesome, awesome privilege for myself, for my wife, you know, to be granted this platform where we can share with you from the Word of God and serve in the gospel of Christ. So, Lord, so last year on Triumph, we got to look at some beautiful things. These teachings are still available for you.
So if you still want to go through them, if you haven't gone through them, if you haven't gone through them, I suggest that you actually take some time to go to the website on this platform.
And so that you can see, there we have Triumph.
So we looked at Triumph. There's a message called the Message for this Season that was mainly an introduction of the season that we are in, you know, and then we have Triumph two, which is how to respond to the attacks of the season. All right? So they're going to be attacks if you're a child of God. What we, we're sharing there is that we are In a war. Glory to God.
We are in a war. So it was very important for us to understand what the word of God is saying for us in this time and in this season. And that is how triumphant the program triumph came about. And we are going to continue with it, you know, until the day of the Lord's return, until we rapture, okay? And then there was the wiles of the devil. So we also looked at this is trying. The wiles of the devil. Triumph three, the wiles of the devil, where we got to look at who we are up against, who we're truly up against, who.
These attacks of this season and the prophecies, the prophetic words that the Lord Jesus Christ gave for this season, okay? How we can position ourselves, who we. The Bible says that do not be ignorant of Satan's devices. So we needed to understand who are these entities? What are these entities that we're dealing with? So you can go and also listen to watch Triumph 3, the wiles of the devil, all right?
And then Triumph four. We looked into the faith of the Word of God. We looked into the faith of the Word of God, which is so beautiful. Beautiful. So it's got many parts, the faith of the Word of God. I think it's got four, four, four parts that are up right now. But then there's a fifth one.
There's probably a 6 and 7 one, which I will do, you know, very shortly. So you don't want to miss that. So it's the faith of the Word of God, like we looked at. What does the Word of God say? Faith is what we endeavour to.
[00:04:30] Speaker B: Why?
[00:04:30] Speaker A: Because to live a triumphant life as a Christian. In these last days, the Bible, the Word of God revealed to us that if we're going to be triumphant, it's going to be through faith. Okay? And within the principle of faith, all right, there are other principles that work with faith. There are other laws that work with faith. So if I should say this, within the. Within the principle of faith, there are other laws, all right? There are other laws that work with faith that you need to understand. That's why, you know, you see that there probably for the other. There's. We're still continuing to teach on those different laws.
And so the faith, you know, one of them is hearing, right? That's a law. He says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. So we're looking into all of these things, and then we looked at what the Word of God actually said. Says faith is how the Word of God defines it. All right. The descriptive words that are used, all right. To communicate what faith is from the scriptures. And we said in that message that faith is what the word of God says it is.
[00:05:44] Speaker B: Okay?
[00:05:45] Speaker A: I know there are many other descriptions, many other teachings that you have that helped you to understand or to come to the level where you understand what faith is, many different types of descriptions and definitions. But we endeavored here to actually go and to look into what the word of God, what the scriptures say faith is. And we look at what the Apostle Paul said faith is. We looked at what the Lord Jesus Christ said faith is, and we're able to come up with beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Describing words of faith from the scriptures. Okay? And then you have, you know, obviously teachings from people in the teaching ministry, great men of God who come, who came and who gave us these amazing and beautiful descriptions of faith. But one that I, from this study, the one that I shared on that program. You must go and listen to it, okay, Is that faith is actually the present continuous state of spoken persuasion. All right? So when you look at the defining words of faith, the descriptive words of faith that are used that the Holy Spirit carefully chose and put together for us to define what faith is, you know, you find out that, you know, a description that you can give of that is faith is the present continuous state of spoken persuasion, you must go and you must go and listen to that teaching. It will bless you. It'll bless you. Okay? So those are so many parts, the faith of the word of God. Well, there's four parts to that.
So on Triumph, that's what we've got to look into, get into last year. And then also we got.
One of our programs is.
Before I get into that, like, I was talking about the laws, right? So I was talking about the laws that work and govern and that make the principle of faith work. So we said one of them is hearing, One of them is like seeing, like, visualizing. Then there's some key ones, okay? There's some key ones that the word of God describes for us that you cannot.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: You can.
[00:07:56] Speaker A: You need to. You need to know them. All right? You need to know them. The other one is there's some that you know very well that you were taught, you know, because of the teaching ministry, the Holy Spirit, through the teaching ministry of many teachers, apostles and pastors who have a teaching ministry, were able to share and teach us these things. But then there's some other ones that, you know, there's some other ones that they never really got to. So. So we're Going to hear, endeavor to put it, put all these things together, package them together for you properly so that you can get a whole and fulsome description and teaching about faith. Because faith, the Bible says it is impossible to please. Without faith, it is impossible to please God, okay? So faith is critical. And the Bible says that to live triumphantly in this season is going to be by faith. Is there going to be any change if there's going to be anything that you're going to do with God?
All right? That number one, pleases God and number two, has results.
The Bible shares with us and reveals to us that that is going to happen through faith, all right? So don't you ever, ever, ever look down upon or feel bad or feel ashamed about exercising and using your faith to do certain things, right? Why? Because faith is celebrated. Because God is pleased, okay?
In heaven, faith is celebrated. God is pleased when you, when you step out in faith, God is pleased when you go to do that thing, to do that good work and you're using your faith, maybe you do not have everything that you require, but you believe and you start to use faith, all right? To do those good works to impact your world, to impact your, your family, to impact your community.
Glory to God. Okay? So, so there are all these laws and the other ones that now I wanted to add from what you probably already have is, you know, we talked about hearing and then we talked about visualizing seeing, and then we talked about speaking.
And then that's another law of faith. And then the other ones is that you probably, some of you probably know right by now. But you know, for those of you who don't, we're going to be also talking about a law that works with faith, which is the writing, the spirituality of writing, the power and the purpose and power of writing. We're going to get into that in our next messages on triumph. The purpose and power of writing. Writing works with faith. All right? So that's something else that you can add to the faith that you have. Add to your faith. Glory to God. You, you can add these laws to your faith to make your faith more effective, to make your faith more sharp, all right? And to make that process of faith quicker.
So the other one that the scriptures also revealed to us, what faith is is writing, the power and purpose of writing. And then the other one is the name of Jesus Christ, okay? So that will give us probably about seven of them, okay? And we're going to, by the grace of God, we're going to get into that in this year, all Right. So. So those are all those laws that work with faith. All right? The name of Yeshua, the name of Jesus, Glory to God. And I think in this year, in this year, you know, the Lord, what the Lord has been ministering and communicating to us, what we need to add in this year, this year, as we walk and live in a season of triumph.
Okay. In a season of triumph. Okay, so let me open a scripture to you.
First Corinthians, chapter 15.
First Corinthians, chapter 15.
[00:11:46] Speaker B: Actually.
[00:11:49] Speaker A: Glory, glory, glory, glory.
You see what the Lord has been really sharing.
First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 54. So he says, so when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory. Death is swallowed up in, you know, another translation tells you, the triumph. Glory to God. All right, so that is where triumph comes from. Death is swallowed up in victory. Glory to God. All right, okay.
Verse 55 says, O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
[00:12:32] Speaker C: Says, the sting of death is sin.
[00:12:34] Speaker A: And the strength of sin is the law.
[00:12:36] Speaker C: Says, but thanks be to God.
[00:12:39] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:12:40] Speaker A: But thanks be to God, which gives us the triumph, the triumph through our Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God, which gives us the triumph, the victory.
[00:12:52] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:12:53] Speaker A: This is what a triumph is all about. Walking in victory as a child of God.
[00:12:58] Speaker C: Walking in victory.
[00:12:59] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:13:00] Speaker A: Amazing, amazing, amazing.
We are walking in victory. We are walking in triumph. And then we saw, you know, from when we started last year on this, we saw that the Word of God shared with us that this is going to be happening through faith. And then we got into faith and then many, many other things that the Lord shared with us for that year. And there's some things as well that the Lord has, you know, been sharing with me that I wanted to, you know, share with you about what we're going to need to add. All right, what we're going to need to add. And one of those things that the Lord began to share with me that I needed to add and intensify in this year, you know, as the day of the Lord, as the day of the Lord is approaching. All right, so we are a year closer to the day of the Lord in this year. Glory to God. And the Holy Spirit has been ministering to me that, okay, you need to add this.
Okay, add this to your work. Add this to your daily life, and I'm going to share it with you. Glory To God. I'll read from.
I'll read from Genesis.
Let's go there.
Genesis chapter eight.
So Genesis chapter eight.
So what the Lord has been sharing with me is that.
Genesis chapter eight.
And I'll read from verse 20. Okay, so now this is, you know, after the flood, right? And then there's a. There's something that I want you to pay attention to.
Okay?
Okay.
[00:14:40] Speaker C: So.
[00:14:41] Speaker A: And God speak unto Noah, reading from verse 15. Let's read from verse 15. And God speak unto Noah, saying, go forth of the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons, wives, and bring forth with you every living creature that is with you of all flesh, of both the fowl of the cattle and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and that they may breed abundantly in the earth to be fruitful and to multiply upon the earth. And Noah went forth, and his sons and his wife and his sons, wives with him, every beast, every creeping thing, and every foul whosoever creepeth upon the
[00:15:11] Speaker C: earth after their kind went forth out of the ox.
[00:15:14] Speaker A: Now, this is where I want to. So this is just an introduction. I'm gonna. We're gonna really get into some amazing scriptures.
Hi.
[00:15:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. You're gonna love this. When you add this, when you. When you learn about what God wants us to do in this season, what God wants us to add to our work, add to our development, add to our discipline of worship. Daily discipline of worship. You're going to be amazed with this. Okay, verse 20. This is where I want to go to.
[00:15:42] Speaker C: It says, and Noah builded an altar.
[00:15:45] Speaker A: Glory to God. So in this time, glory to God.
[00:15:48] Speaker C: The Lord is saying, you need to
[00:15:50] Speaker A: build an altar, right? You need to build a personal. When I say build an altar, we're talking about building a personal altar. Okay? Now, what is an altar? Okay, first. Okay, let's finish what Noah said here and then we can get into.
Before I get ahead of myself, okay? And it says, and Noah builded an altar unto the Lord.
Okay, Noah builded an altar unto the Lord. So now the flood has come, all right? And Noah and his family are saved
[00:16:17] Speaker C: and they come out of the ark. And the first thing that Noah does
[00:16:22] Speaker A: is after God gives him an instruction, and he's saved and the water has subsided, you know, and then he comes out onto dry land. The Bible says, and Noah builded an altar. Glory to God unto the Lord.
[00:16:35] Speaker C: And took every clean beast and every
[00:16:37] Speaker A: clean fowl and offered up burnt offerings on that altar.
Glory to God. Then it says, and The Lord smelled a smith savor. And the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake. For the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I again smite anymore everything living as I have done. All right. Glory to God.
While the earth remains seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter and day and night shall not cease. Okay, now God starts to speak to Noah. God starts to make these promises to Noah. God starts to make these declarations to man.
But Noah first builded an altar where he began to offer sacrifices unto God.
[00:17:24] Speaker C: So in this time, in your daily walk, in your daily life as a child of God, you need to build
[00:17:29] Speaker A: your own personal altar. And we'll get into that.
[00:17:31] Speaker C: How should. Why? What.
[00:17:32] Speaker A: What do you mean, build a personal altar? Okay, should I go get bricks and whatever and start to, you know. No, that's not what we're talking about. But, you know, you get to understand it. You get to understand it as we share. Glory to God. Verse nine, Genesis. Chapter nine. Sorry. Chapter nine, Genesis, verse one says, and God blessed Noah and his sons and said unto them, be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth.
Okay?
[00:17:57] Speaker C: So Noah builded an altar.
[00:17:59] Speaker A: So in this time, you have to build an altar. So now what is the purpose of building this altar right for you in
[00:18:06] Speaker C: this time, in this end time, what is the purpose?
[00:18:09] Speaker A: Why would God said to you he wants you to build a personal altar? You need to be intentional because, you know, a lot of the times there are Christian spiritual practices that we engage with because of the culture or the tradition of the church that we are a part of.
[00:18:28] Speaker C: But we do not necessarily know the spiritual significance of these things based on
[00:18:35] Speaker A: what the word of God teaches.
Okay.
[00:18:38] Speaker C: So it's very important that you know.
[00:18:40] Speaker A: Yes. When you go to church, they tell.
[00:18:43] Speaker C: And sometimes in some churches, they don't really share or teach as to why
[00:18:47] Speaker A: you're doing these things.
[00:18:48] Speaker C: They just go.
[00:18:48] Speaker A: And then people. You just find, you know, people doing certain things, and then you just, oh, this is what being a Christian is. This is what we do. So I just did it. But they never actually.
[00:18:58] Speaker C: And the thing is that God's people
[00:19:01] Speaker A: are blessed for it, okay.
[00:19:04] Speaker C: Even though they don't understand what they are doing. But then there's a time where God
[00:19:07] Speaker A: wants you to now understand what you are doing, for you to now have a revelation and understanding of what you were doing. Okay?
[00:19:14] Speaker C: So in this time, in this season,
[00:19:15] Speaker A: God wants you to understand what altars are, what A personal altar is.
Glory to God, what a personal altar is. So now you find that, you know, with Noah, and then we're going to see just now with Abraham. Genesis, Genesis, we can go to Genesis, chapter 12 with Abraham, and then we'll see with Isaac and with Jacob, right?
[00:19:36] Speaker C: These are things that they carried with them.
[00:19:40] Speaker A: They had these personal altars, okay?
[00:19:44] Speaker C: So in these last days, you need to have this revelation.
[00:19:46] Speaker A: And we're going to get into it
[00:19:47] Speaker C: in triumph, because there, I think there is.
There is a level.
[00:19:52] Speaker A: There is an operation of spiritual things.
[00:19:55] Speaker C: There's a level, an understanding of spiritual things.
And because right now we're in a season of war.
[00:20:00] Speaker A: We're in a season of attacks.
[00:20:02] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:20:04] Speaker C: And in the realm of the spirit, these are wars of altars. Do you understand?
[00:20:11] Speaker A: Okay,
[00:20:14] Speaker C: so those. The kingdom of darkness, okay?
Unfortunately, a lot of the times they understand the spiritual significance of these things
[00:20:25] Speaker A: even more than God's people do, all right?
[00:20:28] Speaker C: And they use them, okay? So now God does not want us
[00:20:31] Speaker A: to be ignorant of all these things, okay?
[00:20:34] Speaker C: So now when you see something like
[00:20:35] Speaker A: this, when you see it, like, the
[00:20:37] Speaker C: Holy Spirit draws your attention to something
[00:20:39] Speaker A: like this, all right? Something like this from the Scriptures, and you see it with Noah, then you're
[00:20:43] Speaker C: seeing it with Abraham, you see it
[00:20:45] Speaker A: with Isaac, then you see it with Jacob.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:20:48] Speaker C: And then when you come in, when Moses comes, and then it becomes. It's formalized under the Old Testament, right? But prior to the Old Testament, these
[00:20:57] Speaker A: were personal altars, okay? So the.
[00:21:00] Speaker C: When the law came, when Moses came, and the law came, now God started to tell Moses to, okay, I want you to build this altar for the children of Israel, okay? Build this altar for them. So this altar became formalized and it became a place where the nation of Israel would now come formally, like you do now, like. Like now, like what we are now
[00:21:24] Speaker A: doing now when we go to our local church, okay?
[00:21:27] Speaker C: So it was formalized, but prior to it being formalized, hallelujah. Abraham, Noah, Abram, Isaac and Jacob, they
[00:21:35] Speaker A: had their own personal altars for their family.
[00:21:38] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:21:40] Speaker C: Hey.
The Bible says, and Noah builded an
[00:21:43] Speaker A: altar unto the Lord. Glory to God.
[00:21:46] Speaker C: Noah builded an altar unto the Lord. So in this year, 2025, what you're going to add as a child of God, as a son of God, as a child, as the seed of Abraham, is you're going to have to now, by revelation, with understanding, build a personal altar.
[00:22:02] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:22:03] Speaker C: Where you offer sacrifices daily and you begin, you see that there are Certain things. There's a certain way things will begin to go with you that does not happen or go with other Christians.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: Okay, let's look at Abraham. Genesis, chapter 12.
[00:22:20] Speaker C: Okay, so this is just an introduction
[00:22:21] Speaker A: we're going to get into. There's so many scriptures that I want to share with you.
And you'll be so blessed. You'll be so blessed. This is triumph.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:22:29] Speaker C: So Genesis chapter 12, now we see
[00:22:31] Speaker A: all these men of faith.
[00:22:35] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:22:35] Speaker C: And the Bible says that.
[00:22:36] Speaker A: And Noah was a righteous man. And then Noah being a righteous man and Noah being a prophet of God, he had a personal altar for him and his family.
[00:22:45] Speaker C: So you need to also now, in this year, 2025, build your own personal altar. If you're going to make it, if you're going to make impact.
[00:22:53] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:22:54] Speaker C: If you're going to make impact,
[00:22:57] Speaker A: this is critical. All right, we're going to look at Genesis, chapter.
Genesis, chapter 12.
Okay, I'll read from verse seven. Let's look at Abraham.
[00:23:15] Speaker C: So this is the call of Abraham.
[00:23:17] Speaker A: God calls Abraham at this point.
Okay. It says, now the Lord I'll read from just to give context for some people that probably wouldn't know Genesis 12:1
[00:23:27] Speaker C: says, now the Lord had said unto
[00:23:28] Speaker A: Abraham, get thee out of thy country
[00:23:30] Speaker C: and from thy kindred and from thy father's house unto a land that I will show you says, and I will make you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great.
[00:23:39] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:23:40] Speaker C: It says, and you shall be a blessing. And it says, and I'll bless those
[00:23:43] Speaker A: that bless you and curse those that curse you.
[00:23:45] Speaker C: And in you shall all the family
[00:23:47] Speaker A: of the earth, all the families of
[00:23:50] Speaker C: the earth be blessed. So Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken unto him, and Lot went with him. And When Abraham was 70 and 5
[00:23:57] Speaker A: years old, Glory to God.
[00:23:58] Speaker C: And Abraham took his wife.
[00:24:00] Speaker A: Now let's get to verse seven.
[00:24:01] Speaker C: Says, and the Lord appeared unto Abraham and said unto thy seed, will I give this land.
Hey, altars is what makes men great.
Personal altars, you know, you know, you're probably accustomed to, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the former altars, all right, that are built in local churches.
[00:24:24] Speaker A: Those are great.
[00:24:25] Speaker C: Those are good. You must participate there.
[00:24:28] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:24:29] Speaker C: But then, but you need to understand how those formal altars came into being. They came into being when Moses brought the children of Israel out. And God now wanted to train them in his ways, train them in the ways that he wants to be related to by him. And then now, they formalized this altar and said, okay, you're going to build this altar, Moses, I want you to build this altar for the children of Israel, and they must come and offer sacrifices unto me. So that was a formalized one, all right? But then when you look at the paychecks, you see that they had these personal ones. So God is saying, I need my children to go back and to establish these personal altars.
So you have to establish these ones in your family. You have to establish this altar. It's a personal one. Even if you're single, if you're married, you and your wife and your children, you have to establish this altar, this personal altar.
In this. If you. If triumph, all right, is going to be his triumph, is going to be a reality in your life. If walking and living in triumph is going to be a reality in your
[00:25:36] Speaker A: life, you have to establish this personal altar, okay? And we'll look at what we're going to be doing at that altar and how you need to conduct yourselves with that altar. Okay? Verse seven. We're still at verse seven.
[00:25:47] Speaker C: Says, and the Lord appeared unto Abraham and said, and unto your seed will I give this land. And there builded he an altar.
[00:25:54] Speaker A: Unto the Lord who appeared unto him,
[00:25:57] Speaker C: Abraham builded an altar. So the moment the word of God came to, there was an altar.
Hey, child of God, you need to build an altar. You need to build a personal altar if you're going to live triumphantly in these last days.
[00:26:13] Speaker A: Hey, okay.
All right, let's read.
[00:26:18] Speaker C: Says, and he removed from thence and unto a mountain on the east of Bethel.
[00:26:24] Speaker A: Okay, Verse eight. Right.
[00:26:25] Speaker C: On the east of Bethel. And he pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west and hai on the east. And there he builded an altar unto the Lord.
[00:26:35] Speaker A: He builded. Moses builded an altar.
[00:26:38] Speaker C: Why? Because an altar is a place where Moses was like, this is where I'm going to be now, communing with God. You know, every time, you know, I make. I come to this altar, to the personal altar. This is where you have your personal dialogue with God. Now, in this year, you're going to be doing this intentionally. In this year, you're going to be doing this more frequently. You're not just going to be waiting for church on Wednesday. You're not just going to be waiting for church on Thursday. You're not just going to be waiting for church on Sunday. Every day.
[00:27:06] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:27:07] Speaker C: You go to that altar.
[00:27:08] Speaker A: Glory to God. Okay, let's continue to read.
[00:27:14] Speaker C: It says, and he builded an altar unto the Lord. And called upon the name of the Lord. So when you build.
So what you need to understand is that the purpose of the altar, the purpose of the altar was for you to what? To call upon the name of the Lord. The Bible says Abraham called upon the name of the Lord there.
So you, you build your personal altar in your house, you build that personal altar, and every day you call upon
[00:27:39] Speaker A: the name of the Lord there, like Abraham. Glory to God.
Okay, all right. So, all right, what is an altar? So while we're still here, just go into file, see what the altar is in my notes here.
Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory. So this year, 2025, you are building an altar, a personal altar. All right? You're not going to wait for the.
[00:28:09] Speaker C: For the cell meeting.
[00:28:10] Speaker A: You're not going to wait for the
[00:28:11] Speaker C: church meeting, all right, you're going to establish. The Lord is saying, my children need
[00:28:16] Speaker A: to establish these personal altars in your house, in your home. Personal altars.
[00:28:22] Speaker C: Hey, yah. And there in those personal altars, daily you call upon the name of the Lord there.
You call upon the name of the Lord there.
Hey, you know, okay, so there's some key aspects of what an altar is.
[00:28:40] Speaker A: You know, it's a place of sacrifice.
An altar is a place of sacrifice.
Okay? So you need to mark that. And also you can go and research that also from the scriptures.
[00:28:52] Speaker C: It's a place of sacrifice.
[00:28:54] Speaker A: Okay? And it's also when you find that every time,
[00:29:01] Speaker C: every time God came and spoke to Noah, spoke to Abraham, spoke to Moses, spoke to the prophets, Hallelujah. They knew that that place now was now different, okay? Because God appeared to them, they marked it as a place of encounter.
They marked it as a place of encounter. So an altar is a place where you encounter God.
Hey, so now the Lord telling us now that he wants us in this
[00:29:33] Speaker A: year to build personal altars.
[00:29:35] Speaker C: Now what is he talking about? He's talking about. He wants to have encounters, personal encounters, personal encounters with his children, personal encounters with you. Personal encounters where the Lord will come and communicate with you there.
[00:29:50] Speaker A: Glory to God.
[00:29:51] Speaker C: All right, so it's a place of personal encounter. It's a place of encounter.
[00:29:55] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:29:56] Speaker C: And also it's a place that is a simple.
[00:29:58] Speaker A: It's a place of worship.
[00:30:01] Speaker C: So when you establish. And you build an altar, we'll talk
[00:30:04] Speaker A: about how to build an altar and know, for those, you know, who might need to. To learn about that.
[00:30:11] Speaker C: So it's, it's a place where you, you, you. You expect to encounter God.
[00:30:15] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:30:17] Speaker A: Hey, all Right.
Okay. And then also it's, you know, you know about this. There's an altar in heaven and there was the altar in the synagogue. And this was an altar of the
[00:30:29] Speaker C: Ark of the Covenant that they had
[00:30:30] Speaker A: to establish in the temples. All right, Glory to God. And we'll get to that. We'll get to that. So we just wanted to just look into what an altar is. Glory to God.
[00:30:41] Speaker C: Okay, so what did Abraham do at the altar? The Bible says that Abraham called upon the name of the Lord there.
[00:30:48] Speaker A: Abraham called on the name of the Lord.
Okay, that is very, very important when it comes to the altars that we're going to look into as well. Okay, and then let's go to Genesis, chapter 13.
[00:31:04] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:31:06] Speaker A: I'll read from verse one says, and Abraham. Okay, let's read.
[00:31:09] Speaker C: And Abraham went up out of Egypt.
[00:31:11] Speaker A: Okay. So now he had gone to Egypt. He had met, you know, with the Pharaoh and so on and so forth. And then he had left Egypt. And then the Bible says when he left Egypt, all right, he went back to that altar that he had built in Bethel. Right? So another thing that I want you to notice, that he said there in chapter 12 from verse 7 says that
[00:31:30] Speaker C: and Abraham passed through the land.
[00:31:33] Speaker A: That's verse six actually says, and the Lord appeared unto Abraham and said, okay,
[00:31:38] Speaker C: unto thy seed will I give this land. And they build it here, an altar
[00:31:41] Speaker A: unto the Lord who appeared unto him. So an altar is a place of encountering God, a place where you're going to encounter, where you establish, right, that this is your meeting place with God. This is your personal meeting place with God.
[00:31:53] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:31:54] Speaker A: All right, Verse seven says.
Okay, verse eight says, and.
[00:31:59] Speaker C: And he removed from thence. He moved from thence unto the mountain of the east of Bethel.
[00:32:04] Speaker A: That word Beth El is house of God.
[00:32:06] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:32:07] Speaker C: House of God.
[00:32:09] Speaker A: Glory to God.
[00:32:10] Speaker C: This is.
[00:32:10] Speaker A: He went to Beth El. Beth El is house of God. Glory to God. It says.
[00:32:15] Speaker C: And he pitched his tent there. He pitched his tent. All right, so what you do at the altar is that it's a place where you go to encounter God. And it's a place where you, as
[00:32:26] Speaker A: a child of God, you pitch your tent there. All right, so it's a place.
[00:32:30] Speaker C: So the idea is that you live in that place of encounter. You live personally, you're preparing. You're planning to live at that place of that altar.
[00:32:40] Speaker A: Glory to God.
[00:32:41] Speaker C: Where you've been encountering God.
[00:32:43] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:32:46] Speaker A: It says, and what says at Bethel,
[00:32:49] Speaker C: the house of God.
[00:32:50] Speaker A: Okay, let's go to 1 Corinthians, chapter three.
Oh, glory to God.
[00:32:55] Speaker C: So when Jesus Christ came, what happened? What did Jesus Christ bring for us? When Jesus Christ came?
[00:33:00] Speaker A: All right, remember what he said before when he was going through the cross? He said that I'm going to destroy this temple. What is he talking about now? Jesus was now talking about his body. He says that my body is the temple. I'm going to destroy this temple in three days. I'm going to build up again. And the Bible says. And you know, prophetically, what he was talking about? He was talking about the crucifixion of his body. And on the third day, when he gets raised again, you know, this temple which is his body, is going to be builded up again. And then not only did he do that and accomplish that, he also made us temples.
[00:33:31] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:33:32] Speaker A: He also made us the houses of God.
[00:33:36] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:33:37] Speaker A: Okay, let's go. First Corinthians, chapter three.
[00:33:40] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:33:42] Speaker A: I read from verse 16.
He says, know ye not that ye
[00:33:47] Speaker C: are the temple of God? Says you are the temple of God.
So what is he saying here? He's saying that you are the Bethel of God.
You in Christ Jesus, when you come into Christ and you're born again.
[00:34:00] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:34:02] Speaker C: Hey, hey. What do you. What did Jesus Christ make us? He made us temples. He made us living temples.
[00:34:09] Speaker A: Glory to God.
[00:34:10] Speaker C: And then.
[00:34:10] Speaker A: Okay, let's read it. Verse 16 says, Know ye not that
[00:34:13] Speaker C: ye are the temple of God? You are the Bethel of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Hey, hey.
[00:34:22] Speaker B: Halyah.
[00:34:23] Speaker C: And then says, if any man defile
[00:34:25] Speaker A: the temple of God, him shall God destroy.
[00:34:27] Speaker C: For the temple of God is holy.
Which temple ye are.
He didn't say which temple you shall be and which temple we wish you were. It says, which temple you are.
[00:34:38] Speaker A: Glory to God.
[00:34:39] Speaker C: So you are the temple. Temple of God. You are the Bethel of God. So you see now God's idea, okay? From. From.
[00:34:49] Speaker B: From.
[00:34:50] Speaker C: From Noah to Abraham. Abraham going to Bethel. To the house of God. To the temple of God. To the house of God. And then he pitching his tent there. And then he builds in his altar there.
[00:35:01] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:35:02] Speaker C: And then he begins to call upon the name of the Lord.
[00:35:04] Speaker B: There.
[00:35:04] Speaker C: Now it comes to completion.
[00:35:06] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:35:07] Speaker C: When Jesus comes, he's. He's crucified, he's buried. And then he's.
[00:35:11] Speaker B: He.
[00:35:11] Speaker A: He.
[00:35:13] Speaker C: He's raised from the dead. And then when he comes up from the dead, Hallelujah. We are raised together with him. And then he comes up and he now also has made us temples of the living God.
[00:35:24] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:35:25] Speaker C: And then we're so now in our personal lives, we can be able to now pitch our tent.
Everywhere we are, everywhere we go, everywhere. This body is. That is the temple of God. You are walking and moving temples. You are walking in living temples.
[00:35:42] Speaker A: Glory to God.
[00:35:43] Speaker C: And in the temple. Now you need to now consciously pitch your tent. Pitch your tent and begin to consciously build your altar. Build your personal altar in that temple, in that Bethel that God has made you to be. You being the temple of God, you being the house of God, your body now being the house of God,
[00:36:05] Speaker A: you
[00:36:05] Speaker C: now begin to build that altar, to fan that altar.
[00:36:10] Speaker A: Glory to God.
Let's go back to Genesis, chapter 13. So we're still at Genesis, chapter 13. Okay, verse. Where is it? Yeah, there we go. Let's see what Abraham did here.
[00:36:25] Speaker C: It says, and Abraham. Oh, my goodness.
[00:36:27] Speaker A: Listen to this.
[00:36:28] Speaker C: Says, and Abraham went up out of
[00:36:30] Speaker A: Egypt, he and his wife and all
[00:36:32] Speaker C: that he had and lot with him into the south. And Abraham was very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south, even to Beth El, even unto Bethel. Abraham had to go to this place because that's the place where he encountered God. He always went back to the place of encounter, the place where he encountered God, the place where God spoke to him.
So you need to build that place in your house. Build that place. All right? Now, you being the temple of God is in Christ right now. It's no longer a particular physical location.
Your body, Your bodies, as the members of Christ are now the temple of God. And your bodies, everywhere your bodies goes, the temple of God is going. You are a walking and talking temple of God.
[00:37:27] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:37:28] Speaker C: And within that temple, there is an altar that makes you a walking, talking altar of God. So everywhere you are, the temple is there. Everywhere you are, the altar is there. Everywhere you are. You can pitch your tent there.
[00:37:41] Speaker B: Kaya. Yay.
[00:37:43] Speaker C: You can pitch your tent there. And you can begin now to have encounters with God Almighty. To have encounters with the Word of God. To have encounters with the Spirit of God.
Hey, this is our 2025 Hallelujah. Where we'll be, will be. We'll be conscious, conscious that we are living altars.
[00:38:03] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:38:04] Speaker C: That we are talking altars that we have inside us as the temples of God. We are living altars.
[00:38:10] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:38:11] Speaker C: We are walking temples. Be conscious of it.
[00:38:15] Speaker A: Hey.
Okay, let's continue.
[00:38:20] Speaker C: And Abraham, listen from that place of encounter, from his altar, him Encountering God, him, communing and speaking with God. The Bible now shows us that Abraham was very rich.
[00:38:32] Speaker A: Okay?
[00:38:33] Speaker C: So the Bible reveals to us that this is what the man did.
He went to Bethel, to the house of God, and he pitched his tent, and then he built an altar and he started to make sacrifices.
And then in verse 13, that's from verse 12. And then in verse 13, Abraham was very rich.
[00:38:53] Speaker A: Oh, my goodness. Abraham was very rich.
[00:38:57] Speaker C: Then Abraham appears now very rich.
[00:38:59] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:39:01] Speaker A: Oh, glory to God.
[00:39:02] Speaker C: Says in suva and in gold. And he went on his journey from the south, even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning between Bethel and Hai.
Unto the place of the altar. The place of the altar.
You need to. You need to be conscious that inside you, God has made you to have your own personal altar.
[00:39:27] Speaker B: Hey, hallelujah.
[00:39:29] Speaker C: As the temple of God, you now have within you your own personal altar where you can now begin to commune and encounter God. Encounter the spirit of God there.
Oh, what a blessing. What a blessing.
[00:39:46] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah,
[00:39:48] Speaker C: okay.
[00:39:49] Speaker A: Says unto the place, verse 4, chapter 13, Genesis.
[00:39:53] Speaker C: Unto the place of the altar which he had made there at the first. And they. Abraham, what was he doing there?
[00:39:59] Speaker A: And then, let's read.
[00:40:00] Speaker C: Abraham called on the name of the Lord.
Very significant. I want you to mark that. He called on the name of the Lord. All right, so now you in your personal altar, all right? The agenda when you go there, all right, is to offer gifts and sacrifices.
[00:40:17] Speaker A: That is the fruit of your lips.
[00:40:18] Speaker C: But then the primary agenda is to call on the name of the Lord.
[00:40:22] Speaker A: All right, but then this is something amazing that I want to tell you about. Calling upon the name of the Lord.
[00:40:28] Speaker C: You see, there are in this.
[00:40:37] Speaker A: Should I share this with you? Okay, let's. Okay, yeah, I think we can go there. We can go there. We can go there. All right, we can go there. But first, before we go there, all right, let's go to Hebrews chapter 13.
So we said, number one, you're calling upon the name of the Lord there, okay? No, no, that's. That's. That's number two. Because number one was what Noah did when Noah, he offered sacrifices unto. He took sacrifices and that he offered unto God when he built his altar, all right?
[00:41:07] Speaker C: And then Abraham came.
[00:41:09] Speaker A: And then what Abraham did is he called upon the name of the Lord. Glory to God.
Okay, what do you say? Hebrews, chapter 13.
Hebrews, chapter 13.
[00:41:21] Speaker C: So you're going. You're building your personal altar, and there is a template that you're seeing from the patriarchs of what they did. And now you want to now do the same thing.
[00:41:31] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:41:32] Speaker A: Glory to God.
[00:41:33] Speaker C: You know you want to do the same thing.
[00:41:35] Speaker A: We're talking about the personal altar, all right?
[00:41:37] Speaker C: We're not talking about, you know, the
[00:41:38] Speaker A: formalized one that Moses came with, right?
[00:41:41] Speaker C: The one that you have there when
[00:41:42] Speaker A: you go to your local church.
[00:41:43] Speaker C: No, we're talking about this one, your personal one, like the one the patriarchs had.
[00:41:48] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:41:53] Speaker A: Hebrews, chapter 13.
Hebrews, chapter 13, verse 8, okay?
[00:41:59] Speaker C: He says, Jesus Christ the same yesterday
[00:42:03] Speaker A: and today and forever. Verse 9 says, Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines, for it
[00:42:09] Speaker C: is a good thing that the heart
[00:42:11] Speaker A: is established with grace, not with food,
[00:42:13] Speaker C: not with meats which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
[00:42:19] Speaker A: Okay? Verse 10 says, we have an altar
[00:42:22] Speaker C: whereof they have no right to eat, which serve the tabernacle, says, for the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary. Now he's talking about that formalized altar, okay? That the children of Israel had in
[00:42:38] Speaker A: the sanctuary in the temple, okay? In the physical temple, all right? So this is what he's referring to.
[00:42:43] Speaker C: For the bodies of those beasts whose blood. Now the bodies of the beast that
[00:42:47] Speaker A: they used to sacrifice in the temple on that altar, okay? Glory to God.
[00:42:51] Speaker C: Why? Because God Almighty introduced this thing unto Moses that the children of Israel need to begin to participate in this. So there's something about it. But we saw it with Noah and with Abraham, okay? And then you also see it with.
[00:43:06] Speaker A: With Isaac and with Jacob, all right?
[00:43:08] Speaker C: And now we now, us being in Christ, we also need to continue to
[00:43:12] Speaker A: participate in the same. All right, let's go.
All right, so it says, for the
[00:43:17] Speaker C: bodies of these beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside of
[00:43:24] Speaker A: the camp, without the camp.
[00:43:25] Speaker C: Wherefore Jesus also that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate, outside of the gate.
Let us go forth therefore unto him, outside of the camp, outside of bearing his reproach, it says, for here have we no continuing city, but we seek one that is to come, says, by him, therefore by him, Jesus.
By the sacrifice of Jesus.
[00:43:52] Speaker A: Glory to God.
[00:43:53] Speaker C: Remember, Noah had to offer sacrifices, okay? Noah had to offer those sacrifices. The children of Israel were instructed to offer those sacrifices. And the Bible says that Jesus came and then he offered up himself as a sacrifice for us. So now it says that by him, therefore we now offer unto God hallelujah by reason, by that sacrifice. Of Jesus Christ. We no longer have to make other sacrifices again in the way that Noah did, in the way that the children of Israel did in the temple.
Why? Because Jesus came, and then he offered up himself once and for all, forever.
[00:44:29] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:44:30] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:44:31] Speaker C: And then it says, by him, therefore, by Jesus, therefore says, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God.
So now, when you build your altar, what are you offering? You're offering the sacrifice of praise to God.
You now, being the temple of God, you now need to build your personal altar. In 2025, you now need to build your personal altar where you go and you offer a sacrifice of praise to God daily, continually.
[00:44:56] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:44:59] Speaker C: And there you will have encounters with the Lord there. Glory to God. You will have encounters with God there.
You hear the voice of God there, says, by him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually.
Says continually.
In 2025, continually, you pitch your tent there.
[00:45:21] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:45:22] Speaker C: And you begin to offer sacrifices of praise.
Sacrifices of praise. Noah offered sacrifices unto God when he built the altar.
[00:45:29] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:45:29] Speaker C: Abraham came and then he built the altar. He went to Bethel, the house of God, which you have now become the temple of God. And then Abraham began to what? To call upon the name of the Lord there. He called upon the name of the Lord there. Now you begin to offer sacrifices, that is, praises unto God.
[00:45:45] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:45:45] Speaker C: And also, like Abraham, you also incorporate calling upon the name of the Lord there.
[00:45:51] Speaker B: Hi. Yeah, yeah.
[00:45:52] Speaker A: Oh, glory to God.
[00:45:54] Speaker C: Okay. It says continually. That is the fruit of our lips, says, giving thanks, making mention, you see?
Making mention unto his name.
[00:46:06] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:46:06] Speaker C: And that way they're giving thanks is homologie. Homologe, which is making confessions to his name. Calling like. Like Abraham. The Bible says Abraham pitched his tent on the altar of God. And then what did he do? Says he called upon the name of the Lord there.
[00:46:20] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:46:21] Speaker C: That means saying the same thing. Saying the same thing about the name of God there.
Saying the same thing.
What did. What do you mean? Say the same thing.
[00:46:31] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:46:32] Speaker C: Saying the same thing.
[00:46:33] Speaker A: All right.
[00:46:34] Speaker C: Unto his name. Saying the same thing regarding his name. The Bible says that Abraham built an altar unto the Lord.
[00:46:43] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:46:44] Speaker C: And then he began to do what? He began to call upon the name of the Lord There.
Now the apostle Paul now, now delivers this revelation to us
[00:47:00] Speaker A: that when he
[00:47:01] Speaker C: says, now, Jesus came, and then he offered up himself as a sacrifice for us once and for all.
[00:47:07] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:47:08] Speaker C: And then he made us the temple. The temples of God, the Living tabernacles of God.
[00:47:13] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:47:14] Speaker C: And inside us there's an altar, a personal altar.
A personal altar where we can have encounters with God, where God can commune with us, where God can share with us, where God can deposit in us.
And the Bible says that Abraham, he called upon the name of the Lord there.
[00:47:33] Speaker B: Hey.
[00:47:34] Speaker C: And then says, now by him, therefore, let us offer a sacrifice of praise unto God continually.
Noah, as soon as he came out. This is after Noah's salvation. Noah has been saved from the flood, him and his family. And the first thing he did, the Bible says that Noah builded an altar unto the Lord and he sacrificed.
[00:47:53] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:47:54] Speaker C: The clean animals.
[00:47:56] Speaker A: Glory to God.
[00:47:57] Speaker C: Unto God. And then what? Then God spoke to him again. And then says, as long as the earth remains seed, time and harvest, all right, day and night, it says it shall not see his glory to God. Now Noah began to commune with God, have conversations and encounters with God from the altar. And then now Abraham comes along.
[00:48:17] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:48:18] Speaker C: And then God speaks to him. He tells him, abraham, come out of your father's house and out of your kindred. Says, to a land that I will show you.
[00:48:27] Speaker B: Hey.
[00:48:29] Speaker C: To a land that I will show you.
[00:48:30] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:48:31] Speaker C: And the Bible says that Abraham left him and his. And his. And his. And his wife and his. His cousin Lot.
And then God appeared unto him again. He says, I'm going to give you this land. And the Bible says that after that encounter with God, Abraham builded an altar. He went to Bethel. There at Bethel, he builded an altar unto the Lord. And the Bible says Abraham began to call upon the name of the Lord there. Oh, glory to God. In 2025, you're going to build your own personal altar where you're going to be going there to offer sacrifices of praise continually.
[00:49:02] Speaker B: Hallelujah.
[00:49:03] Speaker C: Says making confession unto his name. Says making confession unto his calling upon his name. Calling upon the name of the Lord There. That is what he's talking about here.
Calling upon the name of the Lord there. Yeshua. Yeshua, now listen. Have these names that God calls himself, all right? From generations past, that the God's people have been calling from generations past. The scriptures will show you what those names are now when you have them,
[00:49:33] Speaker A: and will deliver them unto you here. All right?
[00:49:36] Speaker C: When you tune in, all right, now you can now use them to build your personal altar.
And then that God of the Bible, Hallelujah. Will come and have encounters with you in your home.

[00:51:09] Speaker A: We'll look into that on our next session, all right?
[00:51:11] Speaker C: Why? Because that name has all was already
[00:51:14] Speaker A: in use and it was already being used to deliver God's people from trouble, from before Jesus was born, from before Jesus came on the scene. And we'll look into that in the scriptures and you begin to. It will transform your understanding of the
[00:51:36] Speaker C: name of God and how also that
[00:51:40] Speaker A: name will transform your own personal altar, your own personal worship, your own personal prayer life, having knowledge of this, having knowledge of this.
