Some battles do not answer to hard work. You have prayed, you have fasted, you have done everything right, and the same pattern keeps repeating in your life and in your family line. Scripture tells you why that happens and what to do about it, because in Judges 6:25 the first assignment God gave Gideon was not to fight Midian, it was to pull down the altar in his own father’s compound.
An altar is a place where something has been dedicated, where words have been spoken and where a claim is still being pressed. That is why the same sickness follows a family, why the same delay meets every child, why money enters a house and leaves the same week. God has not left you without a weapon. Jesus said plainly that every plant His Father has not planted will be rooted up.
These 50 bold prayer points to destroy evil altars come with scriptures attached, so you are standing on the Word and not on your own confidence. Pray them out loud. Aim every one of them at the altar and the scheme, never at a human being.
What The Bible Says About Evil Altars
An altar in scripture is a place of exchange. Something is offered, something is dedicated, and an agreement is established. That is true of the altars God accepts and it is equally true of the ones He commands His people to tear down.
Gideon pulled one down at night. Elijah rebuilt a broken one and fire answered. Josiah went through the land breaking them systematically. The pattern in scripture is never negotiation. It is demolition, followed by the building of a right altar in its place, which is why the last section of this list is worship rather than warfare.

How To Pray These Prayer Points
Pray these out loud and pray them with your Bible open. The authority in these prayers is not in volume and it is not in the words themselves. It is in the finished work of Jesus, which is why every point on this list carries a verse. Midnight is a good hour for this kind of praying, and so is any hour you can pray without interruption.
Two things to keep straight. First, aim at the altar and the scheme, never at a person, because your fight is not against flesh and blood. If a specific relative keeps coming to mind, ask God to deal with the arrangement and to save the person. Second, tearing down is only half of it. Replace what you pull down with worship, with the Word and with obedience in the areas God has already spoken to you about, or the ground you take will not stay taken.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good prayer to pray against evil altars?
A good prayer against an evil altar does three things: it names what you are pulling down, it stands on a specific scripture, and it puts the authority where it belongs, in the name and the blood of Jesus. Point 3 and point 21 on this list are the plainest examples. Pray them slowly rather than quickly.
How do you destroy demonic altars?
Scripture shows a pattern rather than a formula. Gideon pulled the altar down, Elijah repaired the right altar and called for fire, and Josiah went through the land breaking them one after another. In practice that means repentance where there is anything to repent of, renouncing every agreement made knowingly or unknowingly, pulling down in the name of Jesus, and then building worship in the same place. These prayers to destroy monitoring spirits follow the same order.
What Bible verses can I use to destroy evil altars?
Judges 6:25 for the assignment itself, Matthew 15:13 for anything God did not plant, Jeremiah 23:29 for the Word as a hammer, Colossians 2:15 for the victory already won, and Luke 10:19 for the authority you carry. The six verses at the top of this page are the ones to memorize first.
What is a powerful prayer that can destroy evil?
The most powerful prayer you can pray is one that agrees with what God has already said. That is why declaration matters so much in this kind of warfare, and why these warfare prayers and declarations sit alongside this list. You are not informing God of your problem. You are enforcing a verdict that was reached at the cross.
Keep praying until something moves, and then keep praying because it moved. If the fight is over delay in your life or your family, take it further with these midnight prayer points against delay. If it is money that keeps disappearing, stand on these prayer points to break every financial curse. And when what you need is a fresh start rather than another battle, pray these deliverance prayers against delayed breakthrough.
