Binding and Loosing

In Matthew 16:19, Jesus is talking to Peter, "And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in heaven."

In Matthew 18:18, Jesus is talking to all the apostles. "Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

Bind
Strong's 1210; deo (deh'-o) bind, be in bonds, knit, tie, wind. Vines adds that to be bound can mean to be under the constraining power of the Holy Spirit.

Loose
Strong's 3089, luo (loo'-o) loosen, break (up), destroy, dissolve, (un) loose, melt, put off. In Luke 13:16 it is used to denote being made free of disease. In Rev 1:5 it is used when Jesus was released from death. In Acts 2:24 it says Jesus was raised up by God, being loosed from the pains of death.

We can bind all the spirits at once. He also brought to mind 2 Thes. 2:7 "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way." Most teach that the restrainer is the Holy Spirit, but this cannot be as many people are saved after the Antichrist is revealed. Also, Jesus said the Holy Spirit would be with us always. The Holy Spirit is the power that does the restraining, but it is through the overcomers. We could not restrain lawlessness by working with individuals, but must do so by treating all evil spirits as one entity. Jesus did not differentiate each spirit, indeed, did not use the plural, but said "unclean spirit."

Ps. 149:8 says we bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron. Fetters usually were made with woven rope, so this is implying more permanence. We are to bind all unclean spirits whether they are in people, animals, equipment, buildings, the dry places, between assignments, or in the heavenlies. In Matt. 8:12 Jesus says some of the Jews will be cast into outer darkness. Also in Matt. 22:13 and Matt. 25:30. Where is outer darkness? I don't know what or where this refers to but it is not earth and sounds like outer space. Are spirits there to torment them? We take no chances but bind them all.

Bind and Loose as the Holy Spirit Leads

For me, it is something like this:
All unclean spirits, you are bound in Jesus' name and you will not communicate, manipulate or operate in any manner. You will not move or transfer, but are literally bound by the Word and Power of God. All your operations will cease. Any disobedience will result in your immediate removal to the abyss.

Satan, you and your princes of darkness, and all in your chain of command are bound in Jesus' name. You will not communicate with each other or with your demon troops. As God sees fit to release you, we speak confusion, error, failure, and infighting into your hierarchy. We loosen all people, animals, equipment, nations and buildings from your schemes and manipulations and we destroy those works in Jesus' name. You will not resurrect any work except as made legal to do so by a person under your control who desires it. With any disobedience, you will join Abaddon and the others in the abyss. There will be no reproduction in your kingdom of any kind.

In all the righteous people of God, cellular reproduction will be restored to the way God intended. All fragmentation, mutation, and perversion of this process will stop. The aging process will be reversed.

We bind the actions of harmful bacteria, microbes, viruses, retroviruses, amoebas and all other disease causing organisms to cease on God's chosen and we loose them from the damage that has been caused.

We loose all God's people from physical and spiritual blindness and deafness.

We loose all the finances that have been stolen from God's people and command it to be returned seven times over.

We bind all God's people to Him and all that He has chosen for the harvest. We loosen them from the grip and influence of the enemy.

We bind our minds to the Mind of Christ, our will to the Will of God and our emotions to most holy emotions.

We bind favor with God and man to those who are walking uprightly with God.

We loose the pain of death from all God's people who are not ready to go yet.

Thank you, Jesus.
Amen and Amen.
