News and Commentary

Overview

This sermon by Apostle Joshua Selman focuses on how believers can:

  • Tear down demonic altars (and the negative “speakings” connected to them)
  • Rebuild righteous altars through a covenant-based, daily spiritual life

1) First key: Break the hold of demonic altars by engaging the blood

The speaker argues that simply casting or binding spirits without understanding “rules of engagement” often fails, because demons can operate through established spiritual/legal systems described as altars.

The remedy: the blood of Jesus

The “blood” is presented not as a literal red liquid to be chanted, but as the spiritual/legal basis carrying both mercy and justice:

  • Christ’s substitutionary death (described as sinless becoming sin)
  • A resulting “memorial” in heaven
  • This memorial functions like a court/legal mechanism that counters accusations—Satan as the “accuser of the brethren”

Approach God’s justice through Christ’s sacrifice

Believers are urged to seek liberty through Christ’s sacrifice rather than through purely personal effort. The sermon emphasizes that fasting and church activity cannot replace the valid basis of what Christ accomplished.

Categories of sin addressed for blood-application

The sermon distinguishes sin categories that may require spiritual remedy:

  • Personal sin
  • Territorial sin
  • Bloodline/ancestral inheritance

Even if personal wrongdoing is removed, the speaker claims other sources may still require spiritual intervention.

2) Rebuild a righteous altar: the “covenant of sacrifice” (not money)

A second major emphasis is that tearing down evil requires rebuilding righteousness through ongoing covenant practice.

Repentance and the blood that “speaks”

The sermon claims repentance is required for the blood to “speak,” emphasizing that the blood is backed by a broken and contrite heart.

Ongoing covenantal practice

The “covenant of sacrifice” is framed as continuous—not one-time:

  • Sacrifice your life: total surrender to God
    • The speaker warns that some seek deliverance without full commitment, thereby giving demons legal ground.
  • Maintain righteousness through “priesthood”
    • Altars are described as maintained by systems and people that “fan the coals,” so believers must be consistent participants in spiritual maintenance.
  • Avoid a dual life
    • The sermon warns against serving God while keeping parts of life dedicated to idols.

Spiritual freedom is presented as more than prayer or fasting—it is becoming a living sacrifice before those practices.

3) Engage the covenant of sacrifice daily: prayer and giving

The sermon provides practical ways to sustain the altar of righteousness.

Prayer as a lifestyle

  • Citing Leviticus 6:12–13
  • The “fire upon the altar” should be present every morning, not only during crises

Giving (time, energy, and resources)

Giving is presented as a third element, including:

  • Time
  • Energy
  • Resources
  • Not just money

The speaker critiques a “money-only” mentality and argues that if time/energy/resources are not directed to God, they may be directed toward the operations of darkness.

Corporate gatherings

Corporate church gatherings are encouraged because some battles require “higher graces” and corporate anointing, not only private prayer.

4) Personal testimony + visions: spirits operating through “programming”

The preacher shares personal experiences to illustrate altar/spirits operating through spiritual “programming.”

Testimony of spiritual oppression and correct engagement

He recounts seeing spirits enter his room while he was using the name of Jesus, yet experiencing no immediate change. This leads him to conclude that the name must be engaged correctly through spiritual/legal realities such as:

  • Blood
  • Covenant
  • Repentance

Visions of fear tied to poverty/inefficiency

He also describes visions involving a fear-based “creature” connected to poverty/inefficiency, suggesting that lack can be spiritual programming—not merely personal laziness.

Imagery of sufficiency and supernatural provision

Imagery is used to describe sufficiency as an unseen mechanism producing bread/honey while he only “holds and serves.” This supports the claim that God can energize giving and production supernaturally.

5) Spiritual/legal framing of family deliverance

The sermon frames family deliverance as God working through one willing representative within a family—likened to:

  • The burning bush to Moses
  • God “waiting” for the first person willing to respond

The goal is that a deliverer’s commitment and sacrifice can disrupt long-standing generational patterns, including:

  • Poverty
  • Marital instability
  • Untimely death
  • Mysterious illness

Closing emphasis

The sermon ends with an altar call, stressing individual responsibility to “make it right with Jesus,” framed as closing a door to darkness.

Overall Conclusion

To dismantle demonic altars, the sermon argues believers must:

  1. Apply the blood of Jesus based on Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice and repentance—presented as the true legal basis for liberty.
  2. Rebuild and maintain righteousness through the covenant of sacrifice:
    • Total surrender of life
    • Consistent prayer (altar fire “every morning”)
    • Giving of time/energy/resources
  3. View deliverance as a process requiring spiritual intelligence and covenant responsibility—not emotional wishing or sporadic spiritual action.
