Introduction: Altars, Foundations, and Destinies [6:34]
Prophet Jesse Jangfa begins a teaching series focusing on altars, foundations, and destinies. He expresses his hope that the series will provide enlightenment and transformation. He references Isaiah 28:16, highlighting the sure foundation in Zion, and Psalms 11, discussing the importance of foundations in the face of wickedness. The core message is that a solid spiritual foundation is vital for the righteous to withstand attacks from the wicked.
Defining Foundations [10:45]
The preacher explains that a foundation is the bedrock upon which a structure rests, guaranteeing its stability. In civil engineering, the depth of a building's foundation determines its height and longevity. Spiritually, the strength of a person's foundation determines the height of their destiny and how far they can go in life. The teaching will focus on spiritual foundations, altars, and their impact on destinies, whether positive or negative.
Spiritual Foundations: Early Exposures and Hereditary Roots [13:29]
A spiritual foundation refers to a person's early spiritual exposure or hereditary roots, which can include both Godly Christian truths and satanic practices. These exposures and roots significantly influence the overall outcome of a person's life. It's crucial to pay attention to these things, as a person's spiritual foundation can be rooted in Godly Christian truths or ungodly satanic practices, both affecting their life's outcome.
The Impact of Spiritual Foundations on Destiny [16:17]
A person's spiritual foundation includes their past deeds, activities, and inherited traits from family or ancestry. These factors determine how far one goes in life and their ability to fulfil their divine destiny. Both God and Satan have destinies for individuals, making it essential to pay attention to daily life and foundations. A Godly foundation facilitates the fulfilment of destiny, while a faulty foundation can give the enemy an advantage.
Godly vs. Faulty Foundations [19:15]
A Godly foundation, characterised by early exposure to Christian teachings and practices, enables a person to fulfil their destiny swiftly. Conversely, a faulty foundation, even in a righteous person, can give the enemy an upper hand. God wants individuals to correct any issues in their foundation early to make the most of their time. Some people have a righteous foundation, making it easier for them to do a lot for God.
Evil Foundations and National Impact [22:54]
An evil foundation creates a pathway for demonic powers to contend with a person's destiny. Evil foundations can be set for families, cities, and nations, leading to proneness to violence or other negative traits. Nations built on Godly foundations, like the US, have historically experienced blessings and development due to their embrace of the gospel. The foundations of nations can be either Godly or evil, influencing their overall trajectory.
Sin, Iniquity, and Demonic Access [28:06]
Evil foundations are established through unrepented sin and iniquity, opening doors for demons and principalities to take people captive. Sin creates a bridge between man and God, which Satan exploits. Sin is not uniform; certain sins, like iniquity and transgressions, create legal grounds for demonic access. Generational curses and inherited liabilities can result from these unaddressed sins.
Transgressions That Empower Evil Foundations [32:56]
Sin and iniquity, when unrepented, open doors for demons to have legal grounds to take individuals, families, or nations captive. The degree of violation of God's law determines the authority Satan gains. Idolatry is a primary iniquity that creates evil foundations, affecting even those who are born again. Christ redeems believers from the curse of the law, but spiritual laws still hold.
Redemption and Spiritual Laws [35:13]
God does not extend curses in Christ Jesus, but Satan, as an outlaw, seeks to enforce them. Believers must know their authority in Christ to exert it over the enemy. Repentance is essential for sins that have already opened doors for the enemy. Generational curses due to idolatry do not automatically disappear upon being born again; believers must actively resist and exert their authority in Christ.
Practices That Create Evil Foundations [38:36]
Several practices create evil foundations, including idolatry, witchcraft, bloodshed (murder or abortion), occult practices, satanic priesthood, slave trade, sexual immorality, and evil dedications. These practices empower spirits and create legal grounds for demonic influence. Believers involved in these practices must genuinely repent to close the doors they have opened.
Altars and Covenants: Establishing Demonic Influence [42:47]
Evil foundations often involve altars, which are platforms where the spiritual realm interfaces with the physical. Altars are central to idolatry, witchcraft, and occult activities. Many families and communities dedicate people, especially children, to demonic priesthoods. These dedications create covenants that spirits use to lay claim over individuals, causing unending battles.
Covenants and Generational Impact [49:25]
Altars always involve covenants, establishing agreements between people and spirits. Spirits seek to own not just individuals but their future generations. God's covenant with Abraham extended to his descendants, providing them with divine protection. Similarly, satanic covenants can lead to generational curses and misfortunes. Believers may face battles due to covenants established by their ancestors.
Vicissitudes and Unexplained Battles [53:48]
People born into families with satanic covenants may face unexplained vicissitudes and battles. These can manifest as difficulties in growth, spiritual development, or consistent misfortune. Often, these issues stem from covenants and evil foundations. God may reveal these hidden issues through revelation, prompting believers to address them through prayer and repentance.
Bondage and Oppression: Results of Evil Foundations [55:09]
Evil foundations and covenants result in bondage, oppression, and captivity. Jeremiah lamented that the fathers sinned, and the children bear their iniquities, with servants ruling over them. These high-level iniquities and transgressions empower spirits to take people captive. In consulting altars, people enter covenants, and spirits fight those who try to leave their jurisdiction.
Ancestral Sins and Their Consequences [57:50]
Jeremiah stated that ancestors sinned and died, but their descendants suffer the punishment. This highlights the reality of ancestral sins and their ongoing consequences. Spirits do not easily release those under their bondage, even if they are born again. Believers must understand and address these issues to break free from the cycles of captivity.
Dealing with Evil Foundations: Repentance and Restoration [59:33]
To deal with evil foundations, one must study the patterns in their life or family. Unnecessary suffering and difficulties often have demonic connotations. Believers can bring repentance for their actions and those of their ancestors, closing doors to spirits and proclaiming restoration. Identificational repentance, as demonstrated by Daniel and Nehemiah, is crucial.
Gateways for Demonic Spirits [1:03:31]
Several things open doors for demonic spirits, including sinful habits, fear, emotional hurt, sexual immorality, drugs and alcohol, occultic involvement, and ancestral sin. Sexual immorality can transfer demons and curses. Occultic practices and ancestral sins create legal grounds for spirits to enter and oppress individuals.
Spiritual Spouses: Incubus and Succubus [1:09:28]
Many believers experience oppression from spiritual spouses (Incubus and Succubus), which are not consensual but rather a form of torment. These spirits often attack during vulnerable times, disrupting relationships and opportunities. While sexual immorality can open doors, many affected believers have never engaged in such activities. These attacks are often rooted in underlying covenants within the family.
Covenants and Spiritual Oppression [1:13:42]
Spiritual oppression, such as attacks from spiritual spouses, is often linked to covenants. These spirits seek to lay claim over individuals, disrupting their lives and relationships. Many women with fibroids or ovarian cysts report experiences of spiritual molestation. These connections highlight the importance of addressing underlying covenants and spiritual foundations.
Deliverance and Understanding [1:18:13]
The teaching series aims to bring understanding and awareness, culminating in a deliverance service. Christians can be oppressed or suppressed by demons, which can inhabit their bodies or souls. Sicknesses like cancer and fibroids can be caused by demons. Faith is not denial; acknowledging the problem is necessary to address it.
Examples of Godly and Evil Foundations [1:21:17]
Timothy is an example of someone with a Godly foundation, influenced by his mother and grandmother. This foundation enabled him to grow in grace and influence, achieving much at a young age. Gideon, on the other hand, had an evil foundation due to his father's altar to Baal. He could not fulfil his destiny until he dealt with the altar, highlighting the hindrance evil foundations can pose.
Gideon's Transformation and the Importance of Addressing Evil Altars [1:25:31]
Gideon's story illustrates that individuals with evil foundations must address them to fulfil their divine call. God instructed Gideon to tear down the altar in his father's house before anointing him. This act enabled Gideon to enter his calling and bring deliverance to his nation. Similarly, believers must identify and dismantle evil altars hindering their destinies.
Inheritance and Generational Patterns [1:30:06]
Science supports the concept of generational inheritance through epigenetics. Medical conditions and curses can be transferred along bloodlines. It's crucial to stand up against these patterns and seek divine intervention. God instructed Gideon to deal with the evil altar to receive his anointing, emphasising the need to address these issues for personal and generational breakthrough.
Polygamy and Witchcraft [1:32:10]
Polygamy is identified as a major cause of witchcraft in Africa, creating strife, jealousy, and competition that lead to demonic activities. Individuals from such backgrounds must be aware of these dynamics and seek deliverance. The blood of Jesus is the basis for deliverance and victory, blotting out transgressions and breaking curses.
Pleading the Blood of Jesus [1:34:27]
The blood of Jesus is invoked to break evil foundations, altars, and covenants. Like the Passover Lamb, the blood of Jesus provides protection and deliverance. Believers are encouraged to plead the blood of Jesus over their families, wiping out transgressions and destroying demonic strongholds. The blood speaks mercy and blots out ordinances written against them.
Destroying Evil Covenants and Breaking Curses [1:38:37]
Every evil covenant, altar, and power working against lives and families is destroyed by the blood of Jesus. Negative inheritances and satanic embargoes are broken. The power of the Holy Ghost is invoked to destroy evil foundations and covenants. The authority of the blood of Jesus is used to overcome witchcraft, occultic involvement, and other demonic activities.
Restoration and Divine Inheritance [1:46:12]
Everything stolen by evil powers due to faulty foundations is restored. Joy, health, and blessings are returned. Evil dedications are uprooted, and demonic pregnancies are aborted. Godly inheritance can also flow, as Levi paid tithes in the loins of Abraham. Believers are encouraged to set Godly foundations for their children, ensuring they inherit faith and divine favour.
Conclusion: Taking Foundations Seriously [1:51:47]
Taking the issue of foundations and altars seriously is crucial. Many fight battles stemming from ancestral sins. Believers are encouraged to seek divine revelation and address any necessary changes. The goal is to end patterns of defeat and set a Godly foundation for future generations. The series will continue, providing further insights and deliverance.
