How to build altars
It starts with building your personal altar; by commitment to a consistent time of prayer with the Lord.
Taking prayer personal retreats and fasts
Joining other prayer altars in areas where you have a burden.
Proverbs 27:17
Matthew 13:44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
