Binding and Loosing

Once you're a Spirit-filled Christian, you have the Holy Spirit living INSIDE of you. You have God's power to bind and loose.

Jesus says in Matthew 16:19, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth SHALL HAVE BEEN bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth SHALL HAVE BEEN loosed in heaven.

This is very similar to the Lord's prayer:

"Our Father, which is in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, your will be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN...."

We have what's happening in heaven under God's rule, and what's happening on earth which, after Adam and Eve's 'fall,' is now under the devil's rule.

Once you have the Holy Spirit, you have God's power. He delegates His power to you, to bind and loose. You can bind demonic spirits. You have God's power to do it.

(If you notice in witchcraft, those people will do sacrifices to the devil to get his power. They are playing with fire...)

There are only 2 sources of power - God's power which is the most and in control over all. Or the devil's power, which is lesser and was given over to him after Adam & Eve willfully disobeyed God, and some day God will throw him in the lake of fire after judgment.

People these days are seeking the supernatural. They are watching Harry Potter, and Twilight seeking supernatural gifts but they are seeking in the complete opposite area. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. He will deceive you. He will lie to you, just like he did to Adam and Eve. His lie is still the same, 'you will be like God.' No, the only way you will be like God, is if He saves you and you submit to Him, and He baptizes you in the Holy Ghost. THEN you will be delegated HIS power to do GOOD for Him.

Deuteronomy 30 says, "I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your children may live..."
