The Right Side Of The Altar

Righteousness alone does not guarantee blessing; you must be positioned correctly at the altar and activate covenant ordinances through specific acts.

Faith and fear operate by the same mechanism—both are empowered by the knowledge and beliefs you feed them. Working with God requires certainty about your spiritual positioning and appointed time of manifestation. Zacharias and Elizabeth walked righteously before God, yet remained barren because they stood on the wrong side of the altar. Understanding the difference between being on the right side and the wrong side of the altar is essential for accessing the blessings God has already promised.

Teaching Overview

1. Faith and fear are both activated by the knowledge you possess and believe; you empower whichever one you feed through your thoughts and acknowledgments.
2. Righteousness and good genealogy do not guarantee manifestation of blessing—you can walk uprightly before God yet remain barren if you are positioned on the wrong side of the altar.
3. Being blameless before God is not sufficient; you must also align with the specific ordinances and customs established by your ancestors to invoke the covenants and altars they raised.
4. God cannot remember you and act on His promise unless you have a covenant and an altar established; His remembrance is activated through specific spiritual acts and positions.
5. Specific positions, acts, and numbers invoke specific principles that God has ordained; just being a Christian is not enough—you must enter into the conditions tied to God's blessings.
6. All years lost are being restored now—God's manifestation is coming when you align with the right side of the altar and the order of your priestly course.

Key Distinctions

---

Faith and Fear: The Twin Powers of Knowledge

• Faith and fear are both fed by the knowledge you possess and believe to be true.
• You empower your faith by the truths you know until it becomes your reflex and overflows uncontained.
• Fear is also a spirit fed by false information that you believe and empower, causing you to function according to what you acknowledge and feed.

"You empower your faith by the truths that you know. To the point that your faith overflows that it cannot be contained anymore, that it becomes your reflex."

Working in Certainty

• God sends certainty through understanding your appointed time of manifestation.
• Many believers fail because they are not certain of the path or why certain things happen to them.
• Certainty removes the doubt that delays breakthrough and positions you to receive what God has spoken.

"Working with God is about working in certainty."

Righteousness Without Blessing: The Barrenness Problem

• Zacharias was a priest from the Levite tribe, of the course of Abia (the eighth of 24 priestly families established by King David).
• Elizabeth was a direct descendant of Aaron, the first priest, coming from the line of divinity and oneness with God.
• Both walked blamelessly before God in all commandments and ordinances, yet remained barren and wasted years with no manifestation.

"You can work uprightly. You can work right justly. But you may be on the wrong side of the altar."

The Number Eight and New Beginnings

• The number eight is the prophetic number of new beginnings; Jesus rose on the eighth day (the first day of the new week).
• Abia was the eighth of the 24 priestly families, and 24 (12 times 2) represents spiritual governance while 12 represents natural governance.
• Zacharias carried the prophetic name meaning "God has remembered," yet God was not remembering him despite his faithfulness and correct lineage.

"The number eight is the number of new beginnings."

The Error of Position, Not Morality

• Some delays are not caused by demons but by standing on the wrong side of the altar or at the wrong altar entirely.
• A blind man cried to Jesus from the wrong side of the altar and God did not answer; when he cried from the right side, saying "Son of David," Jesus immediately stopped and brought him near.
• Good genealogy and a good name are not enough to guarantee success; you can be doing everything right and still drown while Jesus is in the boat with you.

"A good name is good, a good family is good, but it does not guarantee success."

Covenant Activation Through Altar Practices

• God remembers His promise and acts only when a covenant has been established and an altar has been raised.
• Noah came out of the ark and immediately built an altar and sacrificed; the moment the aroma rose to God, He said in His heart, "I will not again curse the ground."
• God's remembrance is not about forgetting—it is about His attention being recaptured and activated by the aroma of a covenant sacrifice.

"The aroma is what reminded God of what God has to do."

The Pattern of Activation: Acts, Position, and Principle

• Specific acts and positions you take invoke specific principles that God has ordained.
• The angel appeared on the right side of the altar, not the left or wrong side—this positioning was tied to Zacharias performing his priestly duty and burning incense according to the order of his course.
• Just being a Christian is not enough; Lord and Saviour takes you to heaven, but you are supposed to express God on earth through entering into the conditions tied to His blessings.

"Just being Lord and Saviour is not enough. Lord and Saviour takes you to heaven, which is a great thing that's the ultimate goal. But you're supposed to express this God on earth."

Ordinances That Provoke Ancestral Altars

• You must keep the ordinances that provoke the altars established by your fathers—Abraham, Moses, and Jacob—to access their blessings in your time.
• Claiming a spiritual lineage is not enough; the children of Israel claimed Abraham as their father, but Jesus said if they truly were Abraham's children, they would have known Him.
• There are specific things you must do to connect yourself to the altars your ancestors raised; without this connection, the promise remains yours but the manifestation does not.

"If you want that, you need to enter into a deal with those people. You have to go back to where those people did that thing. You have to connect yourself to that thing."

The Worst Delay: Self-Imposed Delay

• Everything—genealogy, name, prophecy—was declaring the future for Zacharias and Elizabeth, but the future could not happen until something in Elizabeth changed.
• The worst delay is the delay you bring upon yourself through wrong positioning or failure to activate the ordinances.
• The birth of John had to come before the birth of Jesus; some of you are delaying your own manifestation because you have not yet taken your position on the right side of the altar.

"The worst delay is the delay that you bring upon yourself."

God's Promise Requires Your Action

• God releases a blessing, but you are responsible for finding it and positioning yourself to receive it.
• God did not bring the promised land to Abraham; Abraham had to go to the promised land because God made the provision but you must go for it.
• God's remembrance is His response, but your action and positioning at the right altar is what activates the entire manifestation.

Key Definitions

Righteousness — Walking uprightly before God in all commandments and ordinances, being blameless; it is a moral condition but not sufficient for manifestation of blessing.

The Right Side of the Altar — The correct spiritual position and alignment with the covenants, ordinances, and customs established by your ancestors; the place where God's angel appears and promises are activated.

Covenant — A promise made by God and an altar established to activate that promise; God deals with you on the basis of a promise that was made and an altar that was established.

Ordinances — Specific acts, customs, and practices tied to the altars your ancestors raised; they are the conditions you must enter into to experience God's blessings.

Aroma — The sacrificial offering and worship that rise up to God and remind Him of His covenant; the act that activates God's remembrance and response.

Manifestation — The actual appearance and expression of God's promise in your life; the fulfillment that requires both promise and positioning.

Key Takeaways

• Righteousness does not guarantee blessing—You can walk uprightly before God, keep all commandments, have perfect genealogy, and still remain barren if you are positioned on the wrong side of the altar. Righteousness is necessary but not sufficient for manifestation.

• Position and principle invoke divine response—Specific acts, positions, and numbers invoke specific principles that God has ordained; your positioning at the right altar is what opens the door for God to appear and act on your behalf.

• Covenant activation requires your action—God has made the promise and established the altar, but you must connect yourself to that covenant through the ordinances and customs your ancestors established; without this connection, you have the promise but not the manifestation.

• All lost years are being restored now—When you align with the right side of the altar and the order of your priestly course, God's remembrance is activated and every year, hour, minute, and second lost is restored in the name of Jesus.

Reflection Questions

1. What specific area of your life remains unfulfilled despite your righteousness, obedience, and faithfulness—and what might this reveal about your positioning rather than your morality?

2. Which ordinances or practices from your spiritual heritage have you neglected, and what covenant activation might you be missing by not connecting yourself to them?

3. When you pray and cry out to God, are you doing so from the "right side of the altar"—the position of alignment with established covenants—or from a place of isolation, and how might your positioning need to change?

4. If "the worst delay is the delay you bring upon yourself," what specific actions or ordinances have you been postponing that might activate your breakthrough?

5. What would it look like for you to move from just being a Christian (headed to heaven) to actively expressing God on earth through entering into the specific conditions tied to your blessing?
