Back To The Old Fashion Altar

By Joseph G. Johnson

This book is about prayer. The condition of man's soul. The need for the people of God to return back to what changes a nation and that is the ancient landmark that the father's have set. In God we trust is printed on the American dollar but man is far from what God requires of him. Lead by the spirit of God, Joseph began to open this book to the world. He has always had a heart to be an author, and now time has presented itself.

PREFACE

Because of my experience with having to deal with the powers of darkness, I am convinced every believer must have a powerful prayer life. Believers are in a real warfare. {Eph. 6:10-13} says, God is real and the Devil is also real and if you choose to ignore it or have your own views. This will not change reality, we are all in a war, and this started in heaven.

This scripture tells us of one Lucifer, the head of the Archangels in heaven. He was not satisfied with his position he wanted to be like God. Pride filled his heart, he said, I will ascend above the throne of God, and I will be even like the most high God.

Before he rebelled against God his name was Lucifer, Son of the Morning. He was in the mount of God praising God, playing the harp and pipes [etc] he was the head musician in heaven.

The scripture says, He was a beauty to behold. After his rebellion he became the Devil, Satan. He and one third of the angels fought against God. The angels of God cast him out of heaven and he fell upon the earth.

The scripture tell us woe unto man who is living on earth, for the Devil is fallen with great fury, he is angry and he is mad. He lost the battle in heaven, so he sorted out to pick of God’s creation man.

One can say when he saw Adam he said, Who is this superior creature, that God should put him in charge of the creation? Adam was perfect he was like God; God will come in the daytime, and talk with Adam. Here we see from the first man what prayer is. Prayer is talking to God and God talking to you. Satan being enraged and jealous of Adam sought a plan how to destroy the union with his creator.

One day when Adam was not around or closer to his wife, the Devil went into a Serpent in the Garden of Eden and spoke through the Serpent. Satan used the beauty of the beast and his cunning ways to attract the woman, Eve. The scripture tells us God forbid them to eat of the fruit of the of knowledge. {Gen 2:17} The day they eat of it they will die. The Devil told her she would not surely die. She believed the lie of the Serpent and ate of the fruit and gave her husband Adam, to eat also.

They then could not talk to God, because they obeyed the enemy of God and the enemy of all mankind. Adam was afraid of God afterwards; he could not come into the presence of God. When God call for him he was not in the place where he normally meets with God. We are living in the beginning of the end of time. Jesus is soon to come prophecies are being fulfilled before our eyes on a daily basis.

The day in which we live is evil. There are wars and rumors of wars. At this very time America is engaging in the war on terror. People are fearful, in the region of the beltway Washington, Baltimore M. D. and Virginia County, there was an unknown gunman called, The Beltway Sniper, who were killing people at random. He was snuffing out their lives as they go about their daily domestic chores, one by one in a given time that he chose. Today he has killed 10 people and has critically wounded three.

This judgment upon America, some years ago the great American Evangelist Billy Graham said, If God do not judge America he would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. At this present time the nations of the world is being judge of God.

The words of the American President, America will defeat terror, are ambitious and comforting to millions who put their trust in his military might of the nation. The redeemed knows the real score no nation of the world can defeat terror, and either can effectively destroy the weapons of mass destruction of rugged nations. It’s the will and plan of God that they gather their weapons and mobilizes their forces. God has a score to settle with the nations.

{Eze.38} thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O God, the Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. Verse 4, I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws and lead you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Verse 5, Persia, Ethiopia, Libya are with them, all of them with shields and helmet. Verse 6, Gomer and all its troops, the house of Togarmah from the north and all its troops many people are with you. Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies are gathered about you, and be a guard for them. Verse7: Prepare yourself, the words of Almighty God. He wants the nations to come up to his land and his people Israel to fight.

There he will show his almighty power and there will be a great slaughter. God has already spoken; no longer will my people be trodden down by the nations in the world. Why? God has chosen Israel to be his dwelling place and the people, his people.
