Elijah faced such desecration that he said he was the only righteous one left not worshipping Baal! Today there is a true parallel—The altars of righteousness have been removed from our homes, schools, and even our churches, while the enemy builds his altars of compromise and imported religions. God is calling for His righteous remnant—7000 who have not bowed their knees to compromise, to rise up and rebuild the altars of true worship!

Greetings, friends and new listeners, and welcome to The Sound of Faith. I’m Sharon Otts, thanking you for tuning in today because we know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Today’s message by my father, Brother Hardy, Build Again the Authors, is truly a word of due season to him that is weary and a call to the church to rise up and rebuild the altars of righteousness that are fallen down and even torn down by compromise and syncretism. These are sobering times, but God is not silent, and he speaks to us today. Build again the altars.
SPEAKER 03 :
Folks, stumble because they disobey. But if you obey the truth, you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. And if you continue in the word, then you are his disciple indeed, and then you shall know the truth. Wise men built on the rock. The author of God. The foundation of God. The word of God. The precepts of God. The righteousness of God. Paul said, I don’t want to be fed with my righteousness, which is by the law. But I want the righteousness of God, which is by faith in Jesus Christ. The righteousness of God by faith. Because Jesus is faith. He is righteousness. He’s the rock. He’s the foundation. Build his house on the rock. Say what you built on, the blood of Jesus. What else? Righteousness or living right. Living holy because he said, be ye holy for I’m holy. And if you couldn’t be holy, why did he tell you to be holy? And he said, follow peace with all men and holiness without or apart from. No man shall see God. How many say amen? You don’t believe it. For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification. That you should abstain from fornication. Whoredom, that means. That you should know how to possess your vessel in sanctification, in holiness, and in honor. Neither yield ye your members as servants of unrighteousness from iniquity unto iniquity. And the fruit in the end thereof, the wages, is death. But rather, what? Yield yourself unto righteousness, unto holiness, And what the fruit is holiness of righteousness. When you live right, you bring forth fruit of holiness. When you live wrong, you bring forth fruit of filth, iniquity, transgression. It’s not all that cry, Lord, Lord, that enters in, but to whom you yield your members, servants to obey no matter what you call yourself. His servants you are to whom you obey. Obedience unto righteousness. Or sin unto death. I’m going to build the altars of God. I want to be wise. How can I be wise? Jesus said in the 7th chapter of Matthew. The wise man built his house on the rock. Now listen to this. And the rains descended. And the floods ascended. And the winds blowed and beat their self on it. Can I stop a little bit? You’re not going to fly to heaven on a magic carpet even though you’re on the rock. Let me go another step. The foolish man built his house on sand and the rains and the winds and the floods beat. They both went through the same thing. You don’t believe me. Is that right? You all following me? How many is following me? End of the 7th chapter of Matthew. Does it say that? Wise and foolish? Both had similar experiences. Let me open it up and see. Better check and see if it’s still there, Lord. I’m pretty sure it’s forever settled in heaven. You didn’t write a new Bible since then. Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, Matthew 7, 24, and do with them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon the rock. And the rains descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house. Just beat on you. That’s if you’re saved and on Jesus. And if you backslide, and if you’re a sinner, here’s what’s going to happen. And every man that hear these things of mine and do with them not shall be like unto a foolish man which built his house upon the sand and the rain is descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon it. You’re going to have the same thing. But the only difference is the one that’s on the rock when the rains come and the floods ascend and the weeds beat on you said when it’s all over said you’re going to stand. Said but if you’re backslidden in the center the rains are going to come the winds are going to blow the floods are going to just beat on you said but you’re going to fall. So if you’re saved or a sinner, you’re still going to have rain. You’re still going to have floods. And the winds are going to beat on you. The only thing is, when the test is all over, you’re standing on the rocks saying, victory is Jesus. And when the rains come, I tell myself, don’t worry. Behind the cloud, there’s the sun. Somebody couldn’t prove that. Elijah could. Enoch could. But they haven’t come back yet. Philip couldn’t. He came back. My, but his feet was running when he hit the ground. He was still running. Went down and preached Christ. To Samaria, and then he went and preached Christ to the Ethiopian eunuch, and the Spirit of God caught him up in the heavenly chariot. And when he hit the ground, he was still running, preaching holiness to the Lord. And I’ll tell you what you do if you’re struggling, just praying fast. You’re like that jet taking off. Oh, praying and fasting and straining and revving all of your power. And you’re breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking. But they tell me after that thing gets up about 25,000 feet or higher, and it levels off above the storm, above the clouds, above the bad weather. Amen. It gets a tailwind behind. It gets in what they call a jet stream. And that thing begins to just… 800 miles an hour, 900 miles an hour. Boom, there they go. They broke the sound barrier. There’s an explosion. You’re all the way in the spirit. Pow! The devil’s domains busted through. You got through the second heavens. You’re in the third heavens. You’re in hell. These folk don’t know what I’m talking about. They ain’t never got off the ground yet. Bunch of chickens going around. Honey, some of you need to stay in that dirt. prayer fast until you climb above them things. You know what a lot of you Christians are like? That jet plane goes out onto the runway out there, and it calls up to the tower, sends his number up clear for takeoff, and the tower sends him instructions back. And you know what he does? Honey, he throws them flaps down and opens that throttle up and roars them engines. I mean, he throws the full juice to it, but that plane don’t even move a half inch. He gets out there and throws them flaps down so it won’t go nowhere. and then opens up all the motors and just revs it with all its power. Well, honey, if God would give you the power, some of you the power, all you’d do is you’ve got your flaps down, you’ve got your feet dragging, and all you’d do is just buck and jerk and buck and jerk and sputter and buck. You ain’t going nowhere. But, honey, when you get the right combinations, when you send the right number, and he looks on that board, so that’s it. You’re cleared for takeoff. Let her roll. Pray and fast, and you raise them flaps up. And you start down that runway. Praying fast a little bit more. And you’re going down there and running. Praying fast. And pretty soon after a while, your wheels is off the ground. But you ain’t all the way up in the jet stream. There’s some more battles to come. How many say amen? Oh, but nose that nose straight on up. Look unto me, oh, ye the ends of the earth. And be seen. Look unto the hills. For once cometh thy help. Thy help cometh from the Lord that made heaven and earth. Yeah.
SPEAKER 02 :
Honey, I’m already up there, Lord.
SPEAKER 03 :
Put the tailwind on, man. You better stay close to that. Don’t you get out of the spirit. You got to play a little bit. I’m in the jet stream. It’s been 10 fights. Oh, it’s been 10 months of playing them fast. And they say, man, them chickens, they don’t bother me anymore. I’m up too high. They can’t get up there. And they say, man, as long as those people talking about you is hurting you, you’re not up high enough. Throw the throttle up. Praying for some more. That thing’s strange. 5,000 feet. 10,000 feet. All of those storm formations banging it. Some of you are in them old engine types. They fly right through the storms. The wind’s just flapping. That’s all you are. You’re always in the storm. Face look like a Missouri mule. I’m feeling good. A tailwind pushing me. And you conserve that fuel. Oh, it’s just wonderful. You just sit back and you’re just going. Oh, you don’t believe it. But God knew he was going to let the old jet plane come. And he said you need to walk and not faint. And you keep on walking and praying and fainting. And you start to run and not be weary. And pretty soon, honey, he puts a little bit more spirit on you. And what? And you begin to mount up on wings. How many has ever been up here what I’m talking about? Some of them are just chickens down in the barnyard. I don’t like that. Just buck, buck, buck, buck, buck.
SPEAKER 04 :
Just buck everything.
SPEAKER 03 :
I don’t like that.
SPEAKER 1 :
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck. I feel good.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m up in the jet stream. In his presence, you just get in his presence. I mean when that sun begins to come through the cabin window up on top of them clouds. It could be snowing and blowing down on the earth. And that heat comes through that window. You feel so good. You know, this time of the year, that couple days ago when that sun come out a little bit. Didn’t that feel good? You just wanted to get in the sun. You followed all the way around the house. For our God’s a sun. How many say amen? And just like when that jet levels off and that sun comes through and the announcer’s voice comes over, the communication system says, welcome aboard. This is flight so-and-so. We’re going to so-and-so. Said we’re up 28,000 feet. It’s wonderful that the sun’s shining.
SPEAKER 1 :
Woo!
SPEAKER 02 :
And when you sit in heavenly places in the third heaven with the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost says, this is flight. J-S-U-N. Woo! Said everything’s all right in my Father’s house.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hallelujah! Peace and happiness there. Joy there. No more sighing. You don’t believe it. I tell you how you get up there, you’ve got to build the altars up. You’ve got to walk with God. And your walking won’t get weary. And when he runs, you run with him. And you run, you won’t faint. And then when he begins to flap them wings. Honey, we’re on the verge of it. God has sowed people all over. He’s hit them like Obadiah did.
SPEAKER 1 :
50, 50, 50.
SPEAKER 03 :
Power, power, power, power. Huh? Pentecost means 50. That’s all it means. On the 50th day, see, 40 is trials. probation, preparation. Jesus came back after he was crucified and resurrected. He walked 40 days with them. He upbraided them for their unbelief and their doubt. He opened up the scriptures. He prepared them. He qualified them. He got rid of their doubt. He says, come on, Thomas. I was with you three and a half years and you didn’t come up yet. But now here I am. Stick your hand in. Let’s get it over with. Get ready. I got to prepare you because after the 40, after the preparation, then I’m going to start all over again. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. And when you come to 10, there’s a new beginning. I’m going to begin to do a new thing. And on the 10th day, in a new first, on the 50th day, said, I’m going to send the power back. Said, after I prepare you, get rid of your doubt and unbelief. Come on. God wants you to say, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Believe me. I’ll pay your bills. Stick your hand on my side. Trust me. Just trust me. I’ll pay your bills. I’ll heal you. Trust me. How are you going to be a deliverer when you don’t know whether God can deliver? I’m going to go out there and deliver somebody. Somebody said to me, oh, Brother Hardy, I can pray for other people. He said, now I can pray for myself, but I don’t want you to pray for me. Get out of here. He said, man, I can’t believe for myself, but I can believe for others. I said, honey, I can believe for myself better than anybody else because I’m the one that knows what I need the most. And I don’t know whether you’re going to pray, but I’m going to be praying for me. In the name of Jesus. I had an old fever. The virus tried to get me. He said, they shall lay hands upon the sickness. I said, in the name of Jesus, lay hands on it. Somebody said, lay hands on it. It don’t hurt me. It feels pretty good. He said, Lord, they have digged down your altars. Can I read it to you? Can the word of foundation be laid? Only that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus the Lord. And if any man build thereupon silver, gold, precious stone, wood, stubble, and hay, for the day shall declare it and the fire shall try it of what sort it is. If any man’s works be burnt up, he loses reward. But if his works remain, he gets a reward. For in a great house There are not only vessels of honor, but some to dishonor. And if a man purge himself of these, he will be a vessel of honor, sanctified, meet for the master’s use, prepared unto every good work. You know what the good work is? Let your light so shine before men that they might see your good works. Say, why, when’s the best time to fulfill that scripture now when they say there is no God? How are they going to know there is a God? Let your light so shine before men that they might see thy good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Let your light so shine before this generation that says there is no God and they’re going to see God in you, the hope of glory, Christ in you and God working in you. And they’re going to say there is a God and they’re going to glorify him. What are the good works? Acts 10, 38. God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power who went about doing good but wasn’t healing all that were oppressed of the devil. The word oppressed is canna dynastia, which means overloaded, crushed down, and fairly ruled and conquered by the devil. Where do we get that word dynasty? In the English, canna dynastia, which means he has conquered you and got you crushed down. Healed means to be loosed and set free from. Delivered means to be loosed and set free from. Salvation and to be saved means to be loosed and set free from. Usually when you say salvation is from sin, you’re loose and set free from. Deliverance, they usually think in their mind of a habit or a bondage you’re delivered or loose or set free from. Healing, it’s usually a sickness or a disease. But they’re interchangeable. God said he’d heal your soul of its spiritual sicknesses and disease. Isn’t that right? Here’s the way sometimes the preachers feel, but they have not all believed the gospel. 10th chapter, 16th verse of Romans. But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah, say a Lord who have believed our report. And I’d like to read a little bit more. And to whom is the honor of the Lord revealed? How many have seen his mighty power? Has God revealed himself in power? So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. But I say, have they not heard? Yes, verily or truly. Their sound went into all the earth. And their words unto the ends of the world. But I say, did not Israel know? No. For first Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation will I anger you. God never turns anybody over until they know. But Isaiah says very bold and saith, I am fan of them that sought me not. I am made manifest, I am revealed. God wants to reveal or manifest himself to you under them that ask not after me. Talking about God rejected the Jews and revealed himself to the Gentiles. But to Israel he saith, all day long I have stretched forth my hand unto a disobedient. And gainsaying people, and honey, the parallel has come in the reverse. The church has fell into the same thing. They don’t believe the report. They don’t obey. Although God has spoken, his arm has been revealed. All day long he stretched forth his hand to a disobedient and a gainsaying people. I can pray the prophecies of the last month, and God said that. I say then, hath God cast away his people? God forbid. He don’t cast away his people. He casts away reprobates. God forbid, for I am also an Israelite of the seed of Abraham of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away his people which he foreknew. What ye not, or know ye not what the scriptures say of Elias or Elijah, how he maketh intercessions of God against Israel, say ye? What did Elijah pray against when Jezebel had her 850 false prophets, when she digged down the altars of God, when Ahab had married that terrible woman? of a foreign nation disobeyed God when God said, don’t take you a strange wife. I’ve watched young person after young person in this church do it. Some of these mothers are supposed to be saved and fathers say, oh, he’s a nice boy. I got news for you, honey. If he’s not saved, he’s got a devil in him and it’s playing possum until you disobey God. And when you disobey God, he’s going to let the real him be seen. He’s of his father, the devil, and his father, he, what? The lust of his father he will do. And what’s so wrong with Jesus that he don’t want him? And what’s so wrong with my Jesus that you don’t want him? Huh? And if you marry he or she that don’t want to come to church, what are you going to do? They’re not going to want to come more so afterwards than you have lost the upper hand. And if they love you the way they say they do, why don’t they come and get saved? Oh, but you’ll be like Ahab and marry Jezebel, that terrible woman, bringing in her terrible religion. Because all the religions, the Moabites, the Amorites, the Hittites, The Hevites, the Jebusites, and all the other ites, all of their worship was the devils, and always whoredom was associated with their worship. Their temples had female and male prostitutes. They worshipped the god of reproduction. Haman is saying in this, gods of fertility. How many say amen, and when you come and worship, you had to have an unlawful, horrible, homosexual act to consummate your worship? How many say amen? That’s why God hated it and destroyed it. And Ahab married that woman, and she set her up. 450 prophets, that was Baal. Baal, the god of flies. Boy, no wonder God brought flies into Egypt. Said, you ain’t got no god that’s got power over the flies. I got the power over the flies. The Egyptians worshipped the God over the frogs and the flies and all that. God smote them with the thing that was supposed to be on their side. And to all of Israel, they dug down the altars, the right worship, the righteousness, the godliness of God. And they put up the altars of whoredom and wickedness and homosexuality. Until it was so bad that Jezebel killed all of the prophets of Jehovah. Wanted to get rid of that worship so the people wouldn’t know anything but wickedness. The devil’s trying to get rid of you if you’re right so the world won’t know anything but wickedness. The devil’s trying to put your light out. I’m preaching the same message. Only he who will let will let till he be taken out of the way. The devil’s trying to remove you. Same thing coming out of another scripture. Same message. The devil’s trying to remove you and turn your light out because the whole world lies in darkness. The devil’s tore down the altars. The devil’s killing the prophets like Jezebel did. in Elijah’s day, but honey, I’m going to be an Elijah. I said, I’m going to be an Elijah. Now a bunch will go out and say, I said, I am Elijah. How many say amen? I said that 10 years ago on a mission, remember Granny? And I said, oh Lord, make me a last day, John the Baptist. Make me a last day, Elijah, to cry out against sin and prepare a people for the coming of the Lord. They went out and said, Brother Hardy said, he’s John the Baptist. But, honey, I want to be a last day Elijah. I want to build an altar of God back again. Let’s kill all the false prophets. Come on, God. It’s time to have a contest. All you devils have been murmuring and complaining and fault finding and said I’m false. Why don’t you come on up here? I’ll let you pray for me first. Then I’ll pray for you. Even if the man was false, God said don’t pull him up. Let the tares grow with the wheat. Unless you pull up a tare, you uproot a wheat. But you go out in front of your loved ones and murmur and complain, and then you wonder why you can’t get them to an altar. You’re destroying them. A lot of times the one you’re stabbing, that’s the only one between you and God. Oh, Miriam and Aaron were stoning Moses. And God got some men. He come down in a tabernacle and his glory filled up. And he spoke out and said, Moses, tell Aaron and Miriam to come before me. And God come down. And God said, Miriam. And Aaron, why didst thou not fear to touch my servant Moses and smote him with leprosy? He turned white with leprosy. God was angry. He said, you should have feared to touch my anointed. Honey, you better fear to touch anybody that’s been anointed of God. David, when he had Saul in the cave and could have killed Saul and he was righteous, he would have been vindicated for what if he’d have put a spear and nailed Saul to the ground. Nobody would have said anything because Saul was out to murder him. But David said, no, I will not touch God’s anointed. I’ll just clip a part of his garment and let him know I could have killed him if God delivered him. But I’m going to be what? Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. I’m going to have mercy on Saul. And if any being be against him, let the Philistines or let God be against him. But I’m not. You better fear to put your hand on somebody God put the anointing on. Because I tell you, in these days, somebody that God can put the anointing on, they’re a rare vessel because people are backslidden and carnal and sensual and wicked. You either put your hand on somebody that God’s using for one or two reasons. You’re backslidden and God’s using them to uncover you and pride you or you’re jealous. And the only thing is you’re spiritually lazy. And if you’re praying fast, God will give it to you because he has no favorites. He just uses people that will obey him. You’re nobody special. All you are is somebody that will obey him. He doesn’t need anything of your wisdom and knowledge. He’ll give you the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge. He’ll give you the gifts of healing and miracles. All he wants you to do is present your body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto him, and is your reasonable service and say, Lord, I will obey you. And honey, when you will obey him and acknowledge your wrong like David, when you make a wrong, you’ll be a man or woman after God’s own heart. He’ll use you. But what saith the answer to Elijah when he interceded against Israel? God has not cast away his people which he foreknew. If you want to go on with him, he won’t cast you away. He’ll never leave you or forsake you. What do you not know? You’re not the scripture saith Elias. How he maketh intercessions of God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets and digged down thine authors. I am left alone and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men. who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal, listen to this fifth verse in the Word, five is grace. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. God’s got a number right now, honey. God’s got a number that won’t bow there near the veil. God’s got them here, 50 here and 50 there. He’s been feeding them on bread and water, which is trial and death. He’s been proving them to see if they’re going to stand up for right and righteousness. and will build the altars of God that have fell down, that will lift up their voice and say, Jezebel, you are a false prophetess. You are a sinful woman. You murdered to get what you got. You disobeyed God. How many say amen? And in the midst of that famine, and in the midst of that wickedness, and in the midst of that false prophecy, God is going to send a revival. How many say amen?
SPEAKER 1 :
Up on the Mount of Prayer.
SPEAKER 03 :
He’s going to bring them together, and God is going to prove who’s the real God, who’s the real prophet, and God is going to send a rainstorm. I made up my mind I’m going to be one of those remnant. He said there is a remnant now reserved. In every dispensation and generation, God’s had a remnant. When wickedness got so bad that God had to let Nebuchadnezzar desecrate and destroy Jerusalem and his house that was so wicked. That wickedness was perpetrated and committed until he tore it down. That’s why there is no house now in Jerusalem because of the wickedness. Even like Eli’s day, the light went out and his own sons were committing whoredom in God’s house. I’m going to say amen. Honey, I’m going to lift up the standard in God’s power. Burn, you ain’t going to commit whoredom in here. Your love will drop dead in here. Amen and say amen. Is that right? Is that so? Honey, he had Shadrach and Meshach and Abednego and Daniel that would not compromise and they weren’t afraid of their fiery furnace and they weren’t afraid of the lion’s den because after they got out of the fiery furnace and the lion’s den, their enemies were killed and they were the rulers. Hey, we’re going to go to the Mount of Prayer and get a hold of God and the God that answers by fire. Let him be God!
