Your New Walk – Binding And Loosening
Binding and Loosing Angels and Demons
This is definitely GOOD NEWS!
Binding: An action or something that ties together, attaches or holds down. Also limits or holds someone to an agreement.
(In Matthew 16:19, we have an agreement with Jesus as His children)
Loosing: To free from confinement, to set free, release. The American Heritage Dictionary says: to let fly!
Matthew 16:19 Jesus: I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever
you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
The Passion translation: I will give you the keys of heaven’s kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in heaven, and to release on
earth that which has already been released in heaven. (Also read Matthew 18:18)
We need to understand that we do NOT battle against people but we do battle against what’s influencing them. This may be a
lot to take in but it’s absolutely true.
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood (humans), but against the rulers, against the powers (words), against the world
forces of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places.
Verse 13 says: We MUST wear ALL the armor that God provides so we’re protected as we confront the enemy – we are victorious!

When someone is throwing insults (words) at us, we need to know that a demon or two or three is behind this scheme. Recognizing this fact and
remaining quiet takes 1. Help from Holy Spirit 2. Keeping our mouths shut when we really want to yell back 3. Being “aware” of the situation 4.
Binding the enemy and loosing God’s angels.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15 Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (feigning goodness); so it’s no surprise that his followers, also
disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.
We need to recognize the enemy’s tactics and bind him up immediately! This is where discernment (the ability to judge well) is needed
because these evil spirits “size us up”, then “set us up”. Spiritual discernment is given by Holy Spirit and we should ask for this everyday
along with wisdom, knowledge, understanding, common sense, insight and revelation.
If we’re not “aware” of Satan’s tactics, we can fall headfirst into all kinds of trouble, quickly.
Discernment gives us an “on and off” switch to stop and examine our thoughts to see who they line up with.
Very important!
2 Corinthians 10:5b Take every thought captive (grab hold of to examine) to the obedience (must line up with
God’s word) of Christ.
P.S. I was just thinking that sometimes it seems easier to go with the flow or the world BUT then you get to reap what
the world reaps – death. Yes, it requires strength and discipline to choose God’s ways BUT the rewards are over and
beyond what we can imagine!!!
Choose life!
Psalm 119:130 Your words (the Bible) gives light and understanding.
Verse 105: Your word is a lamp before my feet and a light for my journey.
The more we read the Bible the more we can discern God’s truth and we will not be easily deceived. Again God has written out everything
we need to know. We are responsible for reading the Word and praying over it.
Accusing spirits tempt us to misunderstand other people. Their goal is to bring us down along with others. Their mission is to destroy
all that God has for us including our peace and joy. Their battleground is our human mind.
The Accuser constantly points out our weaknesses to others and their weaknesses to us. When we realize where the accusations (our
thoughts) are coming from, it is our responsibility to take the authority Jesus has given to us and bind these suckers up!
2Corinthians 10:4-5 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. They have divine power to demolish the enemy’s
strong places or camps. V.5 We destroy every claim and every reason that keeps people from knowing God. We keep every thought
under control in order to make it obey Christ. (Declare: My thoughts line up with the Word of God!)
Always say “In the Name of Jesus” when doing this. The demons do not have to obey us BUT they shake when they
hear Jesus’ Name or the blood of Jesus.
Prayer/declaration: I am covered in the blood of Jesus; no weapon formed against me can stand! I put on
the armor of God – the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, my feet covered with the Gospel of Good News, I hold the
shield of faith, I wear the helmet of salvation, I carry the sword of the Spirit. (read Ephesians 6:11-18)
Prayer 2: In the Name of Jesus, I cancel ALL of Satan’s authority over this situation. Accusing and bickering spirits, you are
bound from _____; you can no longer harass them! Angels, you are loosed to bring love, joy and peace. Holy Spirit, thank You for
healing hearts and showing _____ Your Truth. Amen and Amen

DECLARATION
My family and I are filled with God’s wisdom, knowledge, understanding, common sense, discernment, insight, and revelation.
We step into Jesus’ cloak of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. We tie the cloak with love, forgiveness and
thankfulness. (taken from Colossians 3:12-15) I put a circle of Jesus’ blood around each one in my family and their possessions;
enemy, you can not cross that line. No weapon or hidden trap can stand. We have the mind of Christ
and are filled with joy and peace.
Phillippians 4:8 Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, good report, excellent
and praiseworthy – dwell, ponder and think on these. Amen and Amen
When we take the authority Jesus gave us and bind and loose, all of heaven backs us. Now that’s Good News!
God is waiting on us to do our part and for many of us we just didn’t understand BUT now we do!
Happy Binding and Loosing!
