“Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.” Joel 2:12–13. NKJV

As we continue to consecrate ourselves in the 31-day Sacred Solemn Assembly, a Prophetic call is being made. The call is to each participant to respond inwardly to everything GOD has revealed in the last “twenty” days. A call for purification, a call to surrender, and a call to spiritually realign yourself. This is a sacred time that the Spirit of the LORD is calling His people back to the altar.

GOD is not calling for ritual or a tradition; He is calling you to come and have a divine, consecrated meeting with Him at the altar of your heart. The altar of your heart is where your heart becomes realigned with GOD’s heart, where recalibration is activated, and where GOD responds to your humility. This is a sacred time where insincere outward displays of “look at me” do not move GOD. Nor does your spiritless loud prayer, praise, and worship. This calling is an intentional coming back to the altar and allowing the Holy Spirit to wash your soul so that you can return to GOD with all your heart.

This spiritual operation is not done at the physical altar but at the altar of your heart. Three main things happen at the spiritual altar. First…the call to REPENT. This is where the doorway of restoration begins. It is not driven by fear, but by deep love for GOD. Repentance is the holy response to divine conviction—it is turning our hearts back toward God’s original intention.

Second…the call to SURRENDER. At the spiritual altar, you surrender what you have been carrying and receive what GOD has already prepared for you. Surrender is not weakness, but it is Godly Worship. Third…the PROMISE. When repentance is sincere and complete surrender is made, then comes spiritual RENEWAL. This is the level GOD renews hunger and thirst for Him and his presence.

Remember:

The spiritual call is crystal clear in the Word of GOD. Therefore, let us return to the spiritual altar with humility, honesty, and be ready to surrender all unto GOD.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly FATHER,

Thank you for the promise of renewed restoration at the spiritual altar. May spiritual breakthrough be the anchor to repentance, surrender, and divine renewal.- In JESUS' matchless and holy name, Amen.
