Why You Should Have A Praying Altar In Your Home by ACKCITY: 1:01pm On Aug 09, 2021
If you are passionate about being close to nature, and to God, if you desire to be able to hear from God and get answers to your prayers speedily, then you must urgently create an altar for yourself in your house.

You altar size depends on how your house is, it depends on how much space you have in your home. Some people have very large rooms in their homes that they use as their prayer altar. Others have a small dedicated place for their praying altar.

Your altar should be a place of communication between you and Your creator. This place should be devoid of anything that can be termed unholy.

For instance, your prayer altar should not be a place where you can have sex, it doesn't matter whether the person you are having the sex with is a spouse or not. Your prayer altar should be free of furniture, unless you just want to have a small table where you can place your bible, your dedication books, pen for writing the things you hear while communicating with God, and possibly a few other things that will help you focus while you are praying and communing with God.

As for me I have a very large room which I set aside as my praying altar, in the room I have written psalms and other bible verses splashed on the wall, a times when I am weak to pray, I use those psalms and other bible verses to pray.

And this "altar" is not assumed a "holy" place or consecrated zone at all? undecided
And it isn't the case that God only answers prayers said at this "altar", right? undecided

Prayer itself has to do with with Kingdom of God - and so it is important to do as Jesus Christ commands and not as we prefer. undecided

Jesus Christ said in Matthew 6 vs 6, that as long as we pray in silence and in hiding, God hears us. He didn't ask that we make a project of this command though , and as there are so many other commands to pay attention to when praying to God, it is meaningless to make a project of that which we have not been commanded to. undecided

Here is a summary of sorts of some of the New Covenant teachings and commandments given by Jesus Christ where Prayer is concerned - please be sure to carefully read through all the passages to understand what Jesus Christ is telling you in each case and try to obey them all when next you go to pray to God..see if He does not answer you then.


* Ask, Seek and Knock, in order to receive, find and have the door opened to you
Matthew 7 vs 7
* Pray continously. I.e. don't stop asking, seeking, knocking until you have recieved, found and had the door opened to you
Matthew 21 vs 22 & Luke 18 vs 1- 8
* Avoid vain repetitions because God knows what you want even before you ask Him
Matthew 6 vs 7 - 8
* Always pray in secret and in hiding
Matthew 6 vs 6
* Pray the Lord's prayer-
Matthew 6 vs 9- 13
* Forgive everyone who has hurt or offended you before you pray so your father in Heaven will forgive you your sins-
Matthew 11 vs 25 & Matthew 6 vs 12
* Always approach God in Humility-
Luke 18 vs 9 - 4
* Believe that you have received what you ask for and it shall be done for you

* Ask God for the Holy Spirit -
