Christians…STOP BINDING AND LOOSING! It Doesn't Mean What You THINK It Means!

[@thebeatagp]

[@NewCreationInChrist896]

Amen the battle belongs to Jesus Christ. We have His inherited Power and Authority to rebuke in (Jesus’s name) and believe in His promises which is the (POWER of FAITH). We lean on the Holy Spirit for understanding in context of scripture and by exercising faith for His will to give Him glory. Matthew 17:20 “Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you”

[@megamatt1915]

definitely a great discussion that can come about with this video. although, i do have one thing to say: at 8:55, you ask the question, “how can we think that we could have the authority to bind up the devil?”, while i do agree that God most certainly is the only being that can “bind up” or take control of the enemy, it is still clearly shown in Luke 10:19 that Jesus has given us authority to *tread on “all the power of the enemy…”* which is most certainly expressed in the Christian life through ministry and prayer. We believers definitely have the authority to pray against the will of the enemy in various situations in our lives. Although we must remember to be sure that what we’re praying against is truly the enemy’s will, not just some fleshly idea we’ve found to be inconveniencing us in our lives. For example, we *should* 100% be praying against the enemy’s will to harm marriages and for the Lord’s will to come through, because we clearly know through Scripture that divorce is not the will of God, and Satan’s entire character is built around stealing, killing, and destroying people’s lives and attempting to turn everything in their life away from the will of God. Binding and loosing is exegetically not the best language to apply in prayer, but we most certainly still have authority over the power of the enemy in prayer and in our lives as a whole.

Brother Allen I had a few experiences with speaking to demon possessed people and I just wanna tell you from experience one time a roommate was rolling on the floor like a snake having a seizure, n when I touched him him stood up, something said to me cast him out, so I said with authority “come outta him in Jesus name” I’m telling you he screamed and ran outta the back door barefoot in 14 degrees weather. He moved out a few days later. Now two other incidents my friends car wouldn’t start near the Holland tunnel n we were stuck n didn’t know what to do, so I said just agree with me, and I spoke in Jesus name and the car started right away, this happened more than once. I guess the moral to the story is “ let it be unto you as your faith is” bcuz without faith you can do nothing bcuz without faith it’s impossible to please God. #IlivedThis🙏🏾

[@MattR3838]

Bro I agree. I definitely think in context of all scripture. I think we can bind if it is in line with what Jesus binds. So lets look and see what authority he's given us to bind and loose.;

[@7sealmedia]

amen

[@deer.8009]

What's important to keep in mind, "binding and loosening" appears in scripture in other places as well. Particularly in spiritual warfare cases. Mark 3:27 "No man can enter into a Strongs man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first BIND the strong man; and then spoil his goods. Jesus is clearly "in this case" speaking of binding the enemy "the strongman" in order to render deliverance. In Luke 13:12" And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, woman thou art "LOOSED" from thine infirmity. Jesus goes on to say this lady was bound by satan, but he loosed her by the power of His word. It's also important to understand that according to scripture; Luke 9:1, Luke 10:19, Mark 3:15 God has given the believer the authority over the enemy. Our physical flesh doesn't have power over darkness, but the Spirit of God in us does. However, if you are a born again believer in Jesus Christ, you have been given power and authority over the enemy, to cast him out, bind him and loose. It's important to understand God has equipped the believer with power of the Holy Ghost and His Word to bring the kingdom of God. It's every believers job to TAKE authority over the enemy.

[@DebbieD7777]

This is so true did i miss understand Allen did he say we as believers don't have power and authority over the devil so we can't cast out demons with the power of the Holy Spirit ?🤔

[@iamhischosen3866]

Amen! Speak Holy Spirit!!!!

[@beautifulflower67]

Amen! Absolutely biblical. I’m sorry but there’s a disconnect somewhere with Allen’s message. The Word says WHATEVER we bind or loose, but he attributes it to only two instances. Surely there’s more, because “whatever” covers a lot of territory. Obviously it’s not us! It’s Christ IN us, and yes, He has the power to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we dare ask or think! If it’s His will, He WILL do it.

[@TyroneMdiniso-zh9gr]

Brother Allan, it’s unfortunate that after this explanation and biblical confirmation there are still some people who don’t get it!

[@BeautyUnraveled]

Dr Tony Evans has a great sermon on Spiritual Authority and binding and loosing, I hear what you are saying, but we do have some spiritual authority and believers need to be aware. You seem to suggest that it is arrogant to think we can bind and loose, but we are doing so IN JESUS NAME, we clearly know who has the power.

[@hiveship1]

Exactly!

[@heatherm6123]

Thank you for the link. I love listening to Dr Tony Evans. I’m definitely going to check it out.

[@kaylablack2218]

I totally agree. And for to him to say that if an angel didn’t think he had the authority then why should we, because God gave it to US. The scriptures says what it says and means how it is. He gave us the authority to bind demonic powers and loose heavenly ones in His name. None of it is done on our own power or authority but it’s through the power of God and the authority He gave us in Jesus name. The enemy wants us to think we are powerless so we won’t resist him. My Bible says resist the devil and he will flee. When the deciples cast out demons they went back to Jesus and said “Even the demons are subject to us” Jesus didn’t say “no they aren’t”. He gave us the authority to cast out devils and bind powers that are in opposition to the kingdom of God. Now I do agree we can’t bind the devil himself, but we can bind his demons and we can push him back in by the power of Jesus Christ!

[@NevetsWC1134]

No peter had authority. Not us. Jesus was literally giving him authority while Jesus was gone. We can't bind or loosen anything from earth and heaven.

[@cydehustla]

This is right sister and Luke 10:17 - 20 confirms Jesus give us authority in his name to defeat the enemy... I don't fully agree with what Brother Parr is saying. The sermon by Dr. Tony Evans is bibically more sound.

[@STRENGTHFROMABOVE]

We all have things we’re believing will change. We prayed, we believed, but we don’t see anything improving. But what you can’t see is that the moment you prayed, in the unseen realm, the source of what was coming against you was cut off: the source of that fear, the source of the addiction, the source of the sickness. There will always be a time where it looks like God didn’t do what He promised. Don’t get discouraged because you don’t see anything happening. It’s just a matter of time. What God promised you is on the way.

[@jmarang1]

I can testify that I have seen this and done this. Mr. Parr attempts to diminish the authority of the Holy Spirit filled believer in this video, but once you take that step of faith and command a sickness to leave or a devil to leave and suddenly the person being prayed for is healed and delivered, there is no going back. No KZbin video can ever change this experiential knowledge in our walk with God. It’s the name of Jesus that has such tremendous power, when wielded by a spirit filled Christian who uses the Word of God (sword of the spirit) to pierce even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow! Heb 4:12. First God must permit and impart this power and we must be obedient to His timing of how and when to use it, so that we are praying out of the Spirit and not the flesh. We are warriors on a battlefield and Jesus Christ is our General.

At the time I didn't know why I said this, it just came up out of my Spirit, the spirit left and later on that day I got a call from my Job, they explained that somehow my check was shortened and they wanted me to come and pick up the remaining money that I was owed.

Hi Allen. I grew up in the Pentecostal church, so the terminology of binding and loosing is used frequently. It was not until about a year ago that i began to understand the true interpretation of that passage of scripture and the context in which it was being used. However, I do believe that scripture does support that we as believers have been given some authority over the enemy in our lives. Not in the sense of being able to "bind" him, but more in the sense of breaking the powers of sin and darkness over our lives through the blood of Jesus Christ and power of the The Holy Spirit working in our lives. I base this on: Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17-18, James 4:7, Revelation 12:11 and Philippians 4:13. I don't claim to be an authority on scripture, this is just the way that I interpret it.

[@berniegatchalian2630]

Hi oldmanriver. Allow me to share some of my thoughts on this, and hope it helps. I believe from Scriptures that we do have power as believers. What confuses us believers is what that power is and what it does. A lot of believers mistakenly believe that that power is to do miracles and signs and wonders. But if you study the Bible carefully, you’ll see that the power is not so much these things, but power over sin IN CHRIST and through the Holy Spirit’s indwelling. It’s living a life that honors God and a “supernatural” life where we “walk in the Spirit and not gratifying the desires of the flesh” that truly demonstrates God’s power. I hope this helps in some way. And yes, as believers with the Holy Spirit in us, we do have “power” and “authority” to cast out demons from someone (unbeliever) that may be “possessed”. But that power is also not absolute in the sense that it is still the Lord working through us. It’s not like a magic wand that we just take out and boom, done! Even in casting out demons, the Lord is still sovereign over the situation.

I don't know what 'bind and loose' prayer even is, never did or heard that kind of prayer but "We bind and destroy the work of darkness in the name of Jesus" No prayer or way of praying is the 'right one'. Legalism and rules don't apply to real believers who know, by the Holy Spirit , how and what to pray, cuz words given by the Spirit of God aren't rigid or repeated. I don't see any wrong in this prayer of bind and cast out, I mean believers are literally given power to trample over the kingdom of darkness not to cowardly think in corner whether God will hear or not. Though that authority doesn't apply to literally everything (Example saying some vain nonsense like 'I bind and destroy poverty and become millionaire in name of Jesus) A Holy Spirit filled believer will be led how to pray. Faith is the key, it's weird to see why ppl think 'too much faith' is trying to tell God what to do 😅um God Himself gave authority to saints through the Holy Spirit.

Like a sheriff deputizing a citizen.. It was for them at that time. He was not talking to you he was talking to the 70 disciples and Apostles at that time.. because the holy spirit was not yet given, Jesus had not ascended yet, this was fulfilling of isaiahs prophecies about the minstry of Jesus so the true jews and believers would know who he was.

This verse has been a subject of debate for centuries. Some say the keys represent the authority to carry out church discipline, legislation, and administration; (18:15-18) while others say the keys give the authority to announce the forgiveness of sins (John 20:23). Still others say the keys may be the opportunity to bring people to the kingdom of heaven by presenting them with the message of salvation found in God’s Word (Acts 15:7-9). The religious leaders thought they held the keys to the kingdom, and they tried to shut some out. We cannot decide to open or close the kingdom of heaven for others, but God uses us to help others find the way inside. To all who believe in Christ and obey His Words, the kingdom doors are swung wide open. 🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽

Another scripture reference for binding and loosing: Luke 13:16 Satan bound the lady for 18 years with the spirit of infirmity. She was a slave to infirmity which would be sickness in this context. Also, Jesus said she has the right to to be loosed, meaning free from the spirit of infirmity because she is the daughter or seed of Abraham. We are authorized to put the devil and our spiritual enemies under our feet. Please reference Psalm 18:38 and Psalm 91:13. This is all by the authorization and power of The LORD not our own power.

A lot of people will probably have a hard time accepting this message because they want to feel like they're in control and they can protect themselves and their loved ones from all hurt, harm, and danger.

The Lord gave his disciples a measure of authority, or "exousia" (bind), over impure spirits, and said He has given us authority over unclean spirits. Jesus spoke the Word, and rebuked demonic spirits. Jesus had authority over all realms. I think it requires study in order to use God's Word properly. God gave us spiritual armor, and rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son. Jesus disarmed the powers and authorities (exousia) and "made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross."

Praying my brothers and sisters on this platform… context is one thing Understanding the context is another… some of you will listen to this message and think it is entirely correct without doing the correct research and correlation of scripture.. Man has become so intellectual that we have put chains on ourselves… YAHWEH has no chains and no boundaries… James 4:2(b) yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us. Key word “think” the Power that worketh within us “THE HOLY SPIRIT who is the Spirit of the LORD who intercedes on our behalf Romans 8:26-27 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. Binding and Loosing works but there is a process 1. Your heart must be right (pure) 2. Repentance before you go to God in prayer (all things in JESUS name) 3. Know that Binding and Loosing has a sequence I can go on but it will be lengthy… bottom line is We have been given authority over the enemy in the name of JESUS … the weapons of warfare are not carnal but mighty through GOD to the pulling down of strongholds.. What I read on the this platform are a lot of yes men who may have knowledge but possess no power. I love you all in Christ Jesus and pray that the HolySpirit lead you and guide you someone or a place of worship that has leaders who are equipped to teach what you truly need to know.

Sorry brother, but nowhere in the text does it say that binding and losing is only applicable for church discipline.

You can only know the power of these principles and the keys that have been given every born again believer when you witness deliverance from unclean spirits. Jesus is able to bring judgment against the devil, and the Holy Spirit dwells in us, who has the same power to cast him out.

Man of God. This is yet another fantastic video and teaching. Incredible! Thank You again! So, desperately needed. Me and my fellow Apostle were just talking about this last week. You have done a great job clearing up any confusion; If they listen! Which I pray they will do. The context is very important and you nailed it. If you read the Bible, the only time it talks about Satan being bound is in Revelation 20:1 I believe. When Satan is bound in chains for 1000 years. Right before the Millennial Reign of Christ. Another thing that people miss is that authority was NOT given to the whole Church. Everyone and their grandmother thinks they can just go around binding and loosing stuff. They even tell new believers in Christ they can do the same thing. It's troubling when I hear it misused so much. That passage is talking about a very specific thing and Jesus was talking to his Apostles. Because they had to continue what Jesus was doing, which was teaching the Kingdom and allowing the people to enter into the knowledge and truth of the Kingdom of Heaven. Not everyone can do that. James 3:1 tells the Church that not all of them should be trying to be teachers because our judgment is going to be harsher. There is a special anointing that comes with teaching the principles of the Kingdom and Jesus. And the Lord was making it clear that he was giving the keys to be able to do that to Peter, who was a leader amongst the Apostles, as well as the other Apostles who were charged to continue to teach Christ and the Kingdom Principles and Doctrine that will allow people to become citizens if his Kingdom through Faith and his Spirit and that knowledge. I've heard people trying to bind Demons and loose Jobs and houses and money and everything else. Hopefully now people will hear this and understand.

Pastor Allen, please do a video on sowing and reaping! (Finances and prosperity gospel. 😑) I learn a lot from your content.

[@611mellissa]

I use to do this until I knew better. Great message! Love this video

[@kenelsaintsoir3274]

Pastor Allen, I agree with you 100 %. It’s not right when certain individuals are twisting the word for their own gain. Keep up the good work, brother, educating everyone who is willing to listen.

Well, don't I feel foolish! Lol This just shows me how much more of Holy Spirit's discernment I need as I move through the scriptures. I definitely have taken this verse out of context and have been doing so for a while now and even did it today. Thank God for this conviction! God is showing me the way everyday and its a blessing. It is NOT a coincidence that this has appeared on my YT timeline!!

💖🙏💖🙏💖 because it sooo resonates with our flesh the belief that we should be rich and healthy, that's why people resort to such tactics as binding the devil! Many a Chrsitian bought into the idea without ever questioning it. For the Bible clearly states in 1 Peter 5:8 : Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy is the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. So much for the idea of binding him. Rather we may use the following verse to stand against him Ephesians 6:11 : Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

@@csmoviles Jesus taught about binding the strong man. 28 “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 “Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

[@Jesucrist.M1and1.17]

What's important to keep in mind, "binding and loosening" appears in scripture in other places as well. Particularly in spiritual warfare cases. Mark 3:27 "No man can enter into a Strongs man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first BIND the strong man; and then spoil his goods. Jesus is clearly "in this case" speaking of binding the enemy "the strongman" in order to render deliverance. In Luke 13:12" And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, woman thou art "LOOSED" from thine infirmity. Jesus goes on to say this lady was bound by satan, but he loosed her by the power of His word.

[@sandrakennion8856]

I say a spiritual warfare deliverance prayer when i need to, I got this prayer from a facebook group who deals with spiritual warfare, the prayer is- I take authority over you and I bind you in Jesus name and I command that you loose the captives free now in Jesus mighty name, loose this person (their name) in Jesus name from the strongmen of- (there are 12 strongmen in total) "Whatsoever I bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. Whatsoever I loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. I take chains from heaven and I bind you up hand and foot. I put a gag in your mouth and command you to be quiet. I dry up your waters of death in Jesus name. Jeremiah 50:38 & 51:36, I take away your strength and cut you off from satan in Jesus name, I break your assignments in Jesus name. . . . satan . . You are a defeated enemy! (read colossians 2:15) & ( Mark 3:23-27)

This will never work if you don't understand scripture. We have weapons of warfare. We obey the Lord and trust in Him. We walk by faith and not sight. We cast down vain imagination. This is spiritual warfare. Not saying some prayer out of context. Walk in the Spirit and not the flesh.

[@heatherm6123]

Pastor Allen I appreciate your knowledge and understanding of scripture but I’m struggling with the point of not having authority especially during times of spiritual warfare. Can you speak to Luke 10:19-20 and it’s reference to us having power and authority to overcome the enemy and the spirits must submit in Jesus name?

[@MarcusJSmith]

Perfectly asked question

[@ms.5779]

I would like to hear his thoughts on this subject several years, life experiences from now

[@Blessedone328]

Shouldn’t bind and loose unless you tell those things where to go and under who#s authority.

[@chaunceyellerbee8738]

JOHN 14:12 Jesus said whoever believes in "HIM" will do the same works as *HE DID* and even greater works then *HE DID* So Jesus Himself gave us authority to follow his acts and to continue to uplift those gifts through the Holy Spirit.... In JESUS Name

[@tiamia84]

Thank You so much! I just read this yesterday and was wondering what the actual meaning of this passage, as I too am in a season of relearning scripture meanings that I learned in a charismatic church I attended for 13yrs. Thank You Jesus for this ministry!

[@shaylamour]

Why can’t the PRINCIPLE of binding and loosing be used in different ways? It sounds like he’s saying that because the original context was about the gospel, that automatically means that it cannot be used for other things. God can loose more in Heaven than the gospel(including prosperity, health, etc.), so why does the principle not work for other things? I agree that you can only loose and bind what’s already been allowed by God. It’s nice to know the context, but why do you automatically assume that it ONLY works in that context? The scriptures don’t say that this principle can be used only for church and spreading the gospel. There are many people who have testimonies about binding and loosing.

[@dominicdiaz2813]

This is the right interpretation on those verses.Is so important to trace the Scriptures correctly so we don't end up with false doctrines.You are brother a very good teacher, I'm an elder of His church who always have looks for the sound doctrine and right theology in His Word.Keep the good work!

[@danielh6992]

Thanks for being so level headed and keeping to the simple gospel kept in context. Best to say "The Lord rebuke you"

[@pastorkevsa]

I understand the scriptural context and it’s usage in context and do not entirely disagree. However, it works!! Hard to discredit an experience. I’ve found God to be wise and loving enough to respond to faith and intent of heart. He is not a God of semantics and proper usage of words. How could HE be limited to that alone when it is HIS Spirit that searches the heart (Romans 8:27). He knows the hearts intent (Hebrews 4:12).

[@amourseya4300]

I remember sleeping once and felt a demon in my room and it was starting to attack my dreams. I remember binding it and it left. Too good to not believe brother.

Self deliverance James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” King James Version (KJV Satan is deceiving!! I was doing this too. Yes my sleep paralysis attacks ended calling on Jesus. Jesus ALREADY BINDED THE STRONGMAN. PRAISE IS OUR WEAPON

[@carracoffer7864]

I found this video helpful. I was raised in a very charismatic environment and in the last few years have kind of stepped back and reassessed some of the things I have been taught...so I have a couple questions on this, but truly not trying to be challenging but just seeking truth and understanding. I do agree that these scriptures have been taken out of context a lot and some of the things you pointed out, I was like ,"Oh, that makes sense now"...very good teaching. One thing I kind of am confused about is that you said the angel didn't presume he could have control over satan so we definitely shouldn't...but we are the children of God and he is a King, so as his children, in a Kingdom setup, wouldn't we have more authority than an angel? Again, my background may be causing me some confusion. Also, we have the Holy Spirit in us, so don't we have authority because of God's Holy Spirit in us? Like, I understand that we are not God, but can we say to Satan he has to leave because we have the Holy Spirit in us and He has that authority and because we are God's children? I know you mention Actd at the end there...but I'm just seeking some clarity and understanding on this aspect. Coming out of the charismatic lifestyle I find myself a little confused at times and kind of feel a little unsteady and defenseless because everything I use to know for certain and felt very confident in, is now proving to be out of line and context and I am really enjoying learning correct doctrine and theology and would appreciate your thoughts on these questions I have. Thank you in advance!

[@nowfaithis9799]

I don't know how often Allen Parr responds to comments or if he does at all, but you had the same question I did about his angel reference.

[@courtneynazaire4582]

I have a similar question. Is it a bad thing to pray against the devil? I would think not. Often times, Christians allow the devil/evil spirits to bully them. I know I’ve fallen victim to that. It’s standing in the authority of scripture that has brought me freedom. in fact, even Jesus told him “depart from me Satan.” I would think telling the devil to get out of here isn’t unbiblical?

[@thereseservais924]

I also would like to know how to place the story of Paul rebuking the python spirit acting in a female sevant in Acts 16:16-24. You need this authority to free people under demonic powers too. But you must do that in submission unto God and be guided by the Holy spirit. In this you follow what already happened in Heaven. I think that your motivation and heart are to be checked before engaging this kind of siritual fights. It looks than different than in the hypercharismatic churches. This point needs a larger study in my opinion.

[@jakefrickey]

I think it is important here to remember what power God has given us directly in scripture. In a kingdom setup we only have the power given to us by our king. If our king has not given us the authority to do something then our words carry little weight. We are heirs to gods kingdom but we are also servants. Even Jesus did not come to be served but to serve others. Following his example we also should serve others. When it comes to the holy spirit, we should remember why it was given to us in the first place. Jesus left the earth and left us the holy spirit. The holy spirit is a teacher, a guide, and protects us. The holy spirit helps us to know when we are doing what is right or wrong. When demons are cast out it is done in Jesus name. Not of our own power but Jesus. The devil has to leave when you resist him as said in scripture but that resistance as referenced in James 4:7 is to submit yourself to god, and elevate his word above your own desires. When you read the whole chapter discussing this it becomes clear that people had sinful desires within them coming out and rather then humbling themselves before God they were choosing the world. Even when Jesus tells the devil to leave he submits himself to the Lord quoting scripture and staying obedient to the god, rather then giving in to temptation leaving the devil no foothold in his life. Jesus had the power to command the devil to leave and call angels to help him, but he chose not to. This was to fulfill many things, but one of them being an example on how to live ourselves as he lived a perfect sinless life.

[@cindypope4238]

Satan is a liar and we can crush him but he deceives most and they believe him and not God.

[@romanmartin1405]

Being filled with the Holy Spirit releases/looses righteousness upon and through us. This insults and usurps power over demonic agendas in our families and communities. We should definitely bind evil operations that have taken advantage of us, but that doesn't mean we have to necessarily name every devil, but it also doesn't mean you shouldn't. We should focus on being partners with Holy Spirit. Obedience to Holy Spirit and the word of God has plenty of liberty that we learn to experience through trial and error. Acts of faith makes us free in His righteousness, and takes ground from the enemy in heavenly places.

[@gravityworks777]

How do you plunder the house unless you first BIND the Strongman? This scripture tells us to BIND so I just do that. ❤

[@derrickdrodgers]

Thanks for sharing. The issue to me is when we take praying out of the context Jesus have to us in the Sermon on the Mount. Where we are to pray in the context of Gods will always. So me binding and losing must have been established in heaven initially for it to work, otherwise I would be praying amiss. The will of man doesn’t overshadow the will of God. The power of binding is our commanding in confidence what God has already established.

[@derrickdrodgers]

The same thing applies to saying if any two of touch and agree on anything in my name I’ll give it to you. It’s to always be treated in the context of what the formula of prayer provided by the Lord. Just using the name of Jesus doesn’t take away the response of the believers that whenever we pray we essentially say let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, meaning me requesting something out of Gods will while saying his name doesn’t cause God to cancel His will regarding your prayer request because you used the name of Jesus, or to the video at hand just because you said I bind or I loose. We can’t obligate God to something outside his intended will.

You should make a video on cremation vs being buried when you die. Some Christians are afraid of being cremated.

[@MBWchannel]

@@victoriaalvin2446 You've asked to be buried and god knows you can't do it yourself once you pass so I'd assume he would understand your intensions and you'll be fine. I am still not completely understanding the difference between being buried vs cremation but I logically feel as though it doesn't matter because bodies have been destroyed in different ways and fire is just one of them. If I had a wife that specifically requested to be buried or hinted at it in any way I would have her buried or if money was an issue I would buy the grave and make her a handmade casket from some 2 by 4s and bury her myself.

[@margaretmcguire3241]

Jesus’ words meant that Peter would have the right to enter the kingdom himself, that he would have general authority symbolized by the possession of the keys, and that preaching the gospel would be the means of opening the kingdom of heaven to all believers and shutting it against unbelievers. The book of Acts shows us this (Binding & Loosing) process at work. By his sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-40), Peter opened the door of the kingdom for the first time. The expressions “bind” and “loose” were common to Jewish legal phraseology meaning to declare something forbidden or to declare it allowed. Peace & Grace in Jesus precious name. 💕🕊💕
