How a Revival of the Altar Changes the World

What has the power to change your heart, your family, your church and your region? The Altar!

Throughout ancient history God met with heroes of the faith at altars. Altars connected earth to heaven. Altars were a place of worship, sacrifice and communion with God all throughout the Old Covenant. When Jesus comes into the world, He lays His life down on the altar of altars, the cross. From His sacrifice the world was remade. His ancient followers and the generations of history-makers that followed in His footsteps have changed history by the power of the altar through  prayer, sacrifice and obedience.

Altars over Thrones is a cry, a call, an invitation and a spark. It’s a cry for God to awaken and move in this generation. It’s a holy call to throw off complacency and seek God in fervent prayer. It’s an invitation to know the heart of Jesus. It’s a spark to ignite revival.

“In recent days I have heard this phrase, “Will you build Me an altar?” A place of consecration to God, but equally a place of confrontation to the enemy. This is a time to bow and acknowledge the greatness of God and then place our desires for recognition on this altar. Too many have pursued a name for themselves, building thrones and empires of false status. In this book, John carefully unpacks these tensions of power and helps us understand the right heart attitudes of the Kingdom. So, will you build your God an altar?”

Rachel Hickson

“In Altars Over Thrones, John Hammer issues a prophetic call to the church in America—a call to return to the place of encounter with God, intercession for His purposes, and surrender to His lordship. He exposes the subtle yet dangerous shift that has taken place in the church, where many have exchanged trust in the power of God’s presence for confidence in political influence and human strategy. This book will stir your heart, challenge your assumptions, and call you back to the place where true power is found.”

Adam Narciso

“In his book ‘Altars over Thrones,’ Pastor John Hammer unashamedly calls the church back to wholehearted devotion to the Lord in every area of our lives.  This book carries incredible insights that will encourage, challenge and provoke you toward a love for the Lord and His people like you once had or perhaps never had before.  If you take this book seriously, you can certainly expect fruit in your personal life and even your ministry as well.”
