June was marked by a call for realignment and repositioning, as the people of God had strayed from the right path, leading to seasons of dryness and failure. It is essential to understand that the Christian life thrives, and God\u2019s blessings are fulfilled, only by staying connected to the altar of Golgotha.<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>The message emphasizes that letting God&#8217;s altar fall or establishing other altars (symbols of idols or practices contrary to God\u2019s will) leads to ruin in every area of our lives. The biblical example of Elijah facing the prophets of Baal illustrates how the restoration of God&#8217;s altar on a place of ancient ruin brings back divine power and favor. Rebuilding the altar of God means returning to the principles and promises of the divine covenant in every aspect of life.<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>The pastor stresses that every area of our life\u2014whether it be marriage, studies, work, finances, or character\u2014can become a ruin if we do not establish God\u2019s altar there. He urges us to identify these ruins, remove the \u201cother altars\u201d (idols, laziness, rebellion, etc.), and reestablish the altar of God by living according to what God says and desires in those areas.<\/p>\r\n<h6>\n<\/h6>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>The success and prosperity promised for the second half of the year depend on our commitment to do God\u2019s will rather than our own. This involves dying to our flesh, to our personal desires, and allowing the Spirit to lead us according to the divine covenant. The angels are ready to act and bring blessings, but they are drawn to and operate where the altar of God is established\u2014that is, where the divine covenant is honored in every area of life.<\/p>\r\n<h6>\n<\/h6>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>In conclusion, this month of July is an invitation to deep and radical commitment to restore the foundations of our faith. By rebuilding the altar of God upon our ancient ruins and doing His will, we can expect a radical transformation, moving from the desert to a flourishing garden, and being recognized as repairers of broken walls, restorers of paths. This is a prophetic season where the power of God will be fully manifested in the lives of those who align with His will.<\/p>\r\n<h6>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/h6>\r\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":11175,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[28,27,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-messages","category-teaching","category-winners-celebration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11180"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11253,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11180\/revisions\/11253"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
