Dear Prophetic Diaries Family,
By the grace of God, after reading this sequel, you will be able to pray against the evil altar of delay and stagnation established in your life. I encourage you all to take these prayers seriously and not be dismayed when it seems as if things are going wrong or you are constantly having bad dreams. Just know that the power of God is at work, and these altars will be brought down.
I encourage you all to read the sequel on understanding evil altars and demonic attacks. That sequel will give you insight on how altars operate.
Before you begin these prayers in this sequel, it is imperative that you identify some of the altars that could potentially be at work in your life.
A key way of identifying what altars are potentially at work in your bloodline or personal life is to see the same demonic cycle repeating itself. For instance, you were close to finishing a degree, but something happened that made you take some time out. Another example following this could be that your mother was about to finish her degree but then had to take time out as well, and the same issue happened to your grandmother too. This is an example of the altar of delay and stagnation at work in your bloodline and life.
Pay attention to cycles that have occurred in your bloodline and in your own personal life. These things are not coincidences!!!
Understanding Delay and Stagnation
Delay is a verb that means to make someone or something late or slow.
Stagnation is defined as the lack of flow or movement.
The 400-year-long Egyptian enslavement of the Israelites is one instance of delay and stagnation in the Bible. The Isralities' journey into the Promised Land was also stalled as a result of their disobedience; what was supposed to take 11 days took 40 years.
Genesis 15:13 NKJV
Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.
An example of the altar of stagnation at work in your present life could be that it takes longer for you to walk into your God given purpose and flourish in the will of God. God has a blueprint for your life; we are called to serve him and operate in high places for His glory. We are also called to spread the gospel.
Questions for you to ask The Lord of Hosts:
God, what is my purpose?
What is my ministry for your glory and kingdom?
What areas of my life have been stagnant or delayed?
James 1:17 NKJV
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
God has blessed us with talents and gifts that he wants us to use for his glory. Stagnation and delay can prevent you from excelling in your God given purpose and from advancing in the kingdom of God.
Consider this scenario...
Stagnation is like a car that refuses to start even after a jumpstart. As a result of your car failing to start, you will arrive at your destination later than expected. You may need to take the train or bus to reach your destination as your car isn’t working.
What is supposed to be a quick journey then becomes a long one due to a hindrance that is preventing you from reaching your destination.
Let's make something clear, children of God, your destination in this scenario is your destiny, your calling, your God given purpose and the full manifestation of God’s promises in your life.
Dreams That Can Indicate Altar’s of Delay and Stagnation:
Dreaming that you are driving, but your car is moving slowly, or that you are in the backseat when someone else is driving you.
Dreaming of your old house, childhood neighbourhood, or friends.
Repeating the same exam or not finishing exams in your dreams.
Seeing yourself in your old primary school/secondary school.
Seeing the faces of old teachers, colleagues and managers.
Dreaming that you have lost your keys or are struggling to lock a door.
The Purpose of This Prayer
As children of God, we need to understand that God wants us to advance forward. When we look at Hebrews 12:1, the Lord highlights to us that it is in his will for us to run the race that he has set before us.
Hebrews 12:1 NKJV
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
Run is a verb meaning to accelerate.
It is in the will of God for you to accelerate; therefore, the spirit of delay is not your portion.
According to the Bible, to run means to have strength, faith, patience, and endurance.
2. By the grace of God, you will have the strength in Christ Jesus to tear down the altar of delay and stagnation.
Furthermore, when we look at Hebrews 12:1, we begin to unerstand that:
There is a cloud of witnesses in heaven that shall be witnesses to the great plans that the Lord has for you coming to pass.
2. We must lay aside every weight and sin that is so easy to ensare us. We need to repair the altar for the Lord and repent for the sins of our bloodline and our personal sins that have enabled the altar of delay and stagnation. Do you know that procrastination is a sin?
3. Our walk in Christ will not always be easy, and we may have to endure hardship, but we must run the race the Lord has set before us with endurance.
4. Delay and stagnation are not your portion, as the Lord wants you to run/accelrate in your walk with Him. Which means achieving the destiny He has ordained for you.
Joel 2:25-27 NKJV
25 So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.
26 You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
And praise the name of the LORD, your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
And My people shall never be put to shame.
27 Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel:
I am the LORD, your God
And there is no other.
My people shall never be put to shame.
Continually, when we examine Joel 2:25-27 we begin to understand that:
The Lord will restore everything that has been robbed from you due to delay and stagnation.
2. The Lord will not allow this demonic altar of delay and stagnation to put you to shame.
3. You will know that the Lord, your God, is in your midst, as there will be a divine restoration in your life. What would take man 5 years to accomplish, God will do it for you in less than a year.
4. The Lord will remove any shame and reproach that have been attached to your life due to delay and stagnation.
By the grace of God, you will now have obtained knowledge of what the word of God says against the altar of stagnation and delay. The evil altar of delay and stagnation, which has been preventing you from fulfilling your Christ given potential/purpose and destiny, must now be attacked in Jesus mighty name.
Destroying The Evil Altar of Delay and Stagnation
We are now going to pray against the altar of delay and stagnation. We are going to go before God’s throne of grace, asking him for mercy and for Him to hasten His judgement on this demonic altar.
Read this prayer out loud and believe that the Lord your God has answered it for you.
Dear Heavenly Father,
1. Enter the Lord's gates with thanksgiving.
Praise the Lord for everything that he has done in your life. Tell him how grateful you are for your life and his mercy.
I thank you for this day and for your grace, love and mercy. In your word, it says, ‘Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name’ (Psalm 100:4). Lord, I thank you because you are faithful. I thank you, Lord, because your thoughts towards me are to give me a future and hope (Jermeiah 29:11). I thank you, Lord, because you sent your one begotten son for me to give me life for eternity. I glorify your name oh Lord, for you are a good God; your mercy and love endure forever. Thank you, Ruach Elohim, for being my defence and my rock of refuge (Psalm 94:22). I glorify your name, oh Lord, you are worthy to be praised.
2. Repentance.
Ask the Lord your God to have mercy upon you for your sins, inequities and transgressions. Ask the Lord to have mercy upon you for every idol worship in your bloodline and idolatry that you have participated in that has enabled the altar of stagnation and delay in your life. I want to highlight to you all that you may not have actively committed some of the sins listed in the repentance prayer but you don’t know what sins your ancestors and forefathers have committed in your bloodline. Therefore, it is important for you to repair the altar for the Lord by repenting for the sins of your blood line.
Isaiah 58:12 NKJV
Those from among you
Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
My father in heaven, please have mercy upon me for every sin I’ve committed, knowingly and unknowingly. In your word, it says, ‘Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19 NKJV).
Lord, please forgive me for the sins of masturbation, homosexuality, fornication, rebellion, sexual perversion, incest, abortion, witchcraft, divnation, sourcery, lying, stealing, gossiping, unforgiveness, jealousy, sexual immorality, beastiality and pride. As it says in your word, ‘For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me (Exodus 20:5 NKJV). Lord, have mercy upon me for the sins of my inequities and transgressions, the sins of my mother's house, my father's house, and my ancestors, in Jesus mighty name.
Lord, have mercy upon me for eating in my dreams, for not honouring your word and walking in disobedience. It is written in your word that ‘For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them (Galtatians 3:10 NKJV). Lord have mercy upon me for not following the law and remove any curse that was attached to me due to my sins and iniquities.
Lord, please have mercy upon me for every diabolical thing done in bloodline. Lord, forgive me for idol worship in my bloodline. Forgive me, Lord, for participating in the beliefs of new age, witchcraft, astrology and spiritualism. Have mercy upon me, Lord, for believing in the power of manifestation or the forces of the universe in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, please forgive me for operating in occultism and ritulism.
Ruach Elohim, through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, I also repair your altar in my life. King of Kings and Lord of Lords, I give myself to you as a living sacrifice. I ask for you to have your way with me and let your will be done in my life.
I dedicate my heart as an altar to you, oh Lord, as for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15). Forgive me, Lord, for entertaining the spirit of fear, worry and anxiety. Forgive me, Lord, for the sins of procrastination and laziness. Father God, please have mercy upon me for all these sins and the sins of my bloodline. Forgive me oh Lord for the sin of idolatry. Forgive me, Lord, for idolising money, work, and relationships. Forgive me, Lord, for delaying the things you have placed in my spirit to do. I repent, oh Lord, and I turn away from these sins. I stand, Lord, as a repairer of the breach (Isaiah 58:12).
As I approach your throne of grace, Lord, I ask that you will have mercy upon me and allow my heart to be an altar for you, Lord. Mighty one of Israel, I appeal my case to you in your courtroom and I ask for the throne of grace to be erected in my life, in my bloodline and in my heart. I ask Heavenly Father for you to be my God and for you to have dominion over my life. Lord, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. I repent of my wicked ways and ask for my heart to be restored back to you.
3. Ask the Lord to baptise you with the Holy Spirit and make him your helper and friend.
Lord, I ask for the Holy Spirit to be the head over my life. May the Holy Spirit convict me and guide me in all my ways in the mighty name of Jesus, as it says in John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
Heavenly Father, I ask for the Holy Spirit to be in me. May I be sensitive to the voice of your Holy Spirit and his ways. Lord I ask for your Holy Spirit to reveal revelations and the hidden mysteries of the spirit. May the Holy spirit give me the grace to pray and identify hidden evil altars of delay and staggnation in my life. I ask for the Holy Spirit to be a witness to the evil altars of delay and stagnation being broken in my life, in Jesus name.
4. Ask the Lord, your God, to destroy every evil covenant you came into agreement with that allowed the altar of delay and stagnation to operate in your life.
Lord, I ask of you to destory every demonic covenant I came into agreement with through my personal sins and iniquities that have enabled the altar of delay and stagnation. I also ask for you to break every evil demonic covenant with the altar of delay and stagnation that was established through eating contaminated food and eating in my dreams.
Lord, the Bible says, ‘Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?’ (Amos 3:3 NKJV).
Therefore, I come out of agreement with every covenant of delay and stagnation. I decree and declare that I am under the new covenant.
In Hebrews 9:15 it says, He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. I decree and declare that I shall receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
May the precious blood of Jesus Christ break every covenant I came into agreement with that established the altar of delay and stagnation in my life. I renounce and denounce every covenant with the spirit of delay and stagnation. The word of God is living, powerful and sharper than any two edged sword (Hebrews 4:12 NKJV). I therefore ask, oh Lord, in your courtroom that you dismantle every covenant of delay and stagnation. I decree and declare that there will be a grace of speed over my life, and I will accelerate.
There will be no more delay, and I will not be stagnant in these particular areas of my life (begin to list the different areas of your life where you have been delayed and stagnant) in the name of Jesus.
Lord, every prophecy that you have assigned over my life, I decree and declare that it shall come to pass in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, open up the scrolls and the books of my life that pertain to my destiny and destory every altar of delay and stagnation. In Jermeiah 1:12 it is written, You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word. Lord, I ask for you to perform your word over my life in the mighty name of Jesus. I ask for you to remove every piece of debris from the altar of delay and stagnation in my life.
5. Ask Yahweh Sabaoth to destroy the altar of delay and stagnation, as well as to stifle all of the lies and accusations directed at you.
Lord, every altar of delay and stagnation that was erected due to my personal sins and the sins of my bloodline. I ask of you Lord to break and destroy that altar. Lord, I ask for you to raise your judgement against the altar of delay and stagnation. As it is written in Ezekiel 12:28 Therefore, say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.
Lord, I ask for your words to come to pass over my life. You said in your word Psalms 112:2-3 that His descendants will be mighty on earth; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house.
Elohim El Shadi, I ask that I receive the blessings you have called for me to have and the wealth that you have ordained for me to have. May I be rich in the spirit; may I obtain the grace of speed. I ask for the Holy Spirit to guide me and lead me in all my ways. May everything that you have called me to have or do spring forth without delay in the mighty name of Jesus.
Lord, I ask for you to send destiny helpers that can help me be where you want me to be, in the mighty name of Jesus. Habakkuk 2:3 NKJV says, ‘For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Jehovah Jireh, at your appointed time I ask for you to prepail me into the next dimension of favour and speed. Lord the vision that you have for me will not lie, May you remove every altar of delay and stagnation that was delaying me from being able to see your will for me i.
By the precious blood of Jesus Christ, I silence every voice that is speaking against my destiny, purpose, and inheritance at the altar of delay and stagnation. Lord, I approach your throne of grace boldly, as your word says in Hebrews 4:16 NKJV ‘Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.’ Lord, I need you to destory the altar of delay and stagnation. I also need you to remove any idols that were sitting on these two altars. Through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, I will advance forward, I will finish projects, I will walk into my God given purpose, I will not struggle to find a job, there will be no marital delay, I will no longer be barren, and I will receive my kingdom inheritance in the mighty name of Jesus.
Lord, through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, I also repair the altar of the Lord and I give myself as a living sacrifice. I ask for you to have your way with me and let your will be done in my life.
6. Begin to praise the Lord and celebrate as he has dismantled that altar of delay and stagnation. Tell the Lord that you will see evidence that his altar is no longer at work in your life.
Lord, I thank you so much, as I know that the altar of delay and stagnation has been broken in my life. Thank you, Yahweh Saboath as you are a God of war. You have defeated the work of the enemy as it is finished. Your word says in John 19:30 It is finished. Therefore, through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, I come into agreement with the finished work on the cross.
In Jesus Mighty Name, We Pray.
Amen
