Tear Down and Rebuild Altars of Your Destiny: Securing Your Divine Purpose

Apostle Joshua Selman, in his teaching “Tear Down and Rebuild Altars of Your Destiny,” explains the spiritual significance of altars, showing how they serve as channels for spiritual transactions between the natural and supernatural realms. He highlights that altars can either be sources of divine empowerment or tools of demonic manipulation. Every individual and family has altars, whether positive or negative, that influence their destiny. In this teaching, Apostle Selman outlines how to identify and tear down negative altars while rebuilding godly ones to align with God’s will for our lives.

Key Scriptures:

• Judges 6:25-26:
  “That same night the Lord said to him, ‘Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old. Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it. Then build a proper kind of altar to the Lord your God on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that you cut down, offer the second bull as a burnt offering.’”

  • In this passage, Apostle Selman emphasizes the call God gave to Gideon to tear down his father’s altar to Baal and rebuild a proper altar to the Lord. Similarly, there are altars in our lives that we may have inherited—altars of failure, poverty, sickness, or cycles of defeat—that need to be torn down. Only then can we rebuild new altars of breakthrough, success, and divine purpose.

• Genesis 12:7-8:
  “Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your offspring I will give this land.’ So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.”

  • Apostle Selman teaches that like Abraham, we must intentionally build altars that represent covenant relationships with God. The rebuilding of altars is a spiritual exercise of reconnecting our lives to divine purpose, ensuring that our destinies align with heaven’s agenda.

• 1 Kings 18:30:
  “Then Elijah said to all the people, ‘Come here to me.’ They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down.”

  • Selman uses Elijah’s act of repairing the broken altar as a metaphor for what we must do in our own lives. Before calling down fire from heaven, Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord, symbolizing the need to restore our commitment to God and revive our spiritual foundation before expecting divine intervention.

How to Tear Down Negative Altars and Rebuild Godly Altars

Apostle Selman’s teaching offers practical steps on how to tear down altars that work against our destinies and how to rebuild godly altars that release favor, blessings, and alignment with God’s will. Here are the key steps to help you engage in this spiritual process:

1. Identify Negative Altars in Your Life:
   Just as Gideon was called to tear down the altar of Baal in his father’s house, we must ask God to reveal the negative altars in our lives that have been hindering our progress. These altars may be manifesting as patterns of stagnation, delay, generational curses, or repeated failures. Apostle Selman teaches that through prayer and the revelation of the Holy Spirit, we can uncover these hidden altars.

2. Engage in Strategic Warfare Prayer:
   Tearing down negative altars requires intentional, targeted prayer. Apostle Selman emphasizes the importance of engaging in spiritual warfare to break the hold of these altars over our lives. This involves renouncing any agreements made—knowingly or unknowingly—with altars that do not align with God’s will.

3. Rebuild an Altar of Worship and Sacrifice to God:
   After tearing down negative altars, Apostle Selman teaches that we must rebuild godly altars through worship, prayer, and sacrifice. Just as Abraham built an altar wherever he encountered God, we too must establish altars in our lives that prioritize communion with God and devotion to His purpose. These altars can be physical places of prayer or spiritual practices of worship and dedication.

4. Invoke the Blood of Jesus:
   Apostle Selman stresses that the blood of Jesus is the ultimate weapon in dismantling any form of demonic altars. The blood not only cleanses and protects but also seals new covenants with God. As we rebuild godly altars, we must invoke the power of the blood of Jesus to cover every area of our lives and destiny.

5. Live a Life of Consistent Sacrifice and Obedience:
   Altars require continuous maintenance through sacrifice and obedience. Apostle Selman encourages believers to live in obedience to God’s Word and be willing to make sacrifices—whether through time, resources, or service—that demonstrate our commitment to the Lord. Maintaining these altars ensures sustained victory and dominion over the forces of darkness.
