Bible Question: Is there scripture on binding and loosing spirits? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Darlene! The terms "binding and loosing" are only used in three verses. Job 38:31 which deals with our inability to affect the stars. Mt. 16:19 and 18:18, which both deal with the exercise of church judgement. The terms are never used in reference to spirits. The only term used in Scripture is to cast out demons. Nowhere does it tell us that we have the power to bind them! I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
