Subject: Binding and Loosing power over darkness? |
Bible Note: We live in a physical and spiritual world (literally). So building on the covenant right that we have through Abraham. The covenenant blessing is splits in to, both Ishmael and Isaac. Both were blessed, so what was the difference between the covenant that God made with Isaac and the one He made with Ishmael? Surely blessings is part of the covenant. Ishmael will be blessed and will be mulitplied (Gen. 17:20), Isaac will be blessed and will be multiplied, but the difference is - the descendants through the seed of Isaac shall possess the gates of their enemies (Gen 22:17). Jesus is that seed through which we possess the gates of the enermy (Heb. 11:18). It is only manifested through those who accept the seed, Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. No longer shall we possess but now we do possess. So Christians have authority over the spiritual world (Luke 10:19; Col 2:10-15). For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age (Eph. 6:12). So through Jesus Christ we have victory and authority over all principalities. Why should the spiritual world listen to us? because at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth (Phil. 2:10) and because He greater who is in us is greater those he than is in the world (1 John 4:4) satan deceives many with apparent power. We have the authority over him and his henchmen. So command them to leave, demand seven fold return when they steal and bind them. It is our right as a Christian. I pray that the Holy Spirit gives all the full revelation of this message. Amen and Amen |
