Subject: Tell me who unties them? |
Bible Note: My friend I have heard people binding demons for years, I would imagine there would have to be zillions of bindings by now. Yet we still have problems. First of all I don't have problems with demons since I place and keep myself under the blood of Jesus and there is no demon that will cross the bloodline. Secondly I don't talk to demons I talk to my Creator, the Great I AM, why would I want to talk to a defeated foe, when God tells me to praise and worship Him in all things? Thirdly 90 percent of most people’s problems are flesh, and they find it easier to blame a demon on something they refuse the crucify the flesh over. Fourthly Satan whether we like it or not is an angelic being (a bad one I’ll attest) and Jude 9 and 10 and 2 Peter 2:10-14 tell us not to talk about these beings in reviling accusations, but rather let the word of God be our shield and buckler. Fifthly if you want to keep binding Satan then read 2 Peter 2:12 and see what your result will be. James 4:7 tells us exactly how to handle Satan. It may not be as exciting as you wish it to be, but this is exactly how to do it. Submit to God, few people totally submit oh they may go along with God until they get what they want but very few totally submit. Resist Satan, I contend if your busy submitting to God you are resisting Satan and the word says Satan will flee. Do you see anywhere it saying tell Satan you bind him? Let us not be presumptuous, self-willed; speaking evil of angelic beings, but rather let’s say the Lord rebuke you. |
