1 | Spiritual | Matt 18:18 | Appleseed | 10248 | ||
I love you all. I write this is pure love. I agree that Matt 18:18, is related to the church, body of Christ. I never said it was not. My previous message builds, adds, on Abrahamic covenant that we have through Jesus Christ. And it states that the spiritual world exists, we have the authority of darkness (as per my previous message), and therefore we can bind demons. I think this is the point that most find difficult believing. If you don't believe you can bind them in the Name of Jesus Christ, then you are right, you cannot. If you believe you can bind them in the name of Jesus Christ then you are right too, you can. Jesus said, All things are possible to him who believes (Mark 9:23). “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matt. 19:26). With God, is the operative word. So believe in Jesus and believe His Word. Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do” (John 14:12). Believe it or not, we have the authority over the spiritual world and we will be measured in what we do with it. To summarize a quote taken from the Young’s Literal Translation Jesus said, “And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it; and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.” (Matt. 16:19 - YLT). Note some translations say Heaven, the Literal Version says heavens. It refers to the spiritual realm. How do we loose and bind demons? With our tongue, consciously or idle words (Lev. 5:4-6, Jer. 44:25, Prov. 13:3, Prov. 18:20-21 etc). If I don’t believe, then they are loosened with my words. If I believe, then they are bound with my words. David said, “I believed, therefore have I spoken” (Ps. 116:10). There is power in our tongue. That is why it is so important to do everything in the Name of Jesus Christ (Col. 3:17) Jesus said, “I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matt. 12:36-37). Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing (James 3) Read a book called, “A Divine Revelation of Hell” by Mary K. Baxter. Forever young in the Vine Me (Your brother in Christ) |
