If you look around, you will find out that peace is a scarce commodity in the world. Many are desperately searching for peace in their homes, but Jesus said in John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Prayer is a key to meeting your needs; thereby establishing lasting peace in your home. Now, what are the benefits of family prayer altar?
And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Genesis 25:21
1. Deliverance: Prayer is God’s prescription for deliverance from every affliction of the wicked (James 5:13). When one person in the home is down, the other(s) can stand in the gap and enforce his or her deliverance by praying and declaring God’s Word over him or her. James 5:15 says: “And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” Prayer can revive any situation!
In our text, the Bible says: “And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.” Remember, as a child of God, barrenness is not your portion, so if the devil is trying to afflict you with it, cry unto God for your deliverance. With the agreement of your spouse and unwavering faith in God, your prayers will surely be answered. Don’t watch afflictions reduce your home to a place of woes, because until God hears your voice in prayers, your deliverance is not in view.
The children of Israel were in bondage for 400 years but in Exodus 3:7-8 the Bible says: “And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians…” This is your hour of release from that long-standing affliction in your home! However, you should call on God as stated in Jeremiah 33:3 and be sure of His deliverance. Raise a family prayer altar and win battles from there.
Prayer: Father, I raise a family prayer altar unto You. Let my all-round deliverance be given in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
