There are indeed evil altars. The evil altars can delay or hinder procreation of couples. Enemies can traumatize their victims upon evil altars if the victims are not in covenant with God. Our example is a story in Numbers Chapters 22 -23. Numbers 22:4- 12, reads,” And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
What did he do,”He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed”.
The elders of Moab reacted thus,” And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam and spake unto him the words of Balak. And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.”
The above passage shows that evil altars exist. Men gather and erect evil altars to torment men and women who are not committed to God. Balak the son of Zippor and the king of Moab, sons of Esau, archenemies of Israel, was terrified at the advancing army of Israel. He defined their ravaging approach as” , this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field”(Numbers 22:4).
Fear came upon BALAK. Most evil people go into action as a result of fear of your blessings including your procreation. They can go far to look into the future to see the unfolding of God’s blessings in your life. Their task is to block those blessings from coming to fruition. King Balak of Moab decided to conspire with the Midianites to first attack the Israelites spiritually, by cursing and defiling them spiritually, before attacking them physically.” He sent messengers therefore unto an Aramean priest, Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him”. The meaning of the “Children of His people”, was that Balaam the Priest is a relation of the Israelites. Balaam was an Aramean. Many troubles of couples mostly start with third parties.

    • As soon as one is really committed to a Christian life, the Spirit awakens in him new and sometimes unsuspected capabilities.
      The Spirit comes to give life to the Church.
      A Church in which signs of the Spirit acting could not be seen could not say that Jesus lives in her midst.
