Authority in Spiritual Warfare: Binding and Loosing

📖 Introduction

Spiritual warfare is a reality every believer faces. It is a battle unseen, fought not with flesh and blood but with divine authority given to us by Christ. One of the most powerful truths in the New Testament is found in Matthew 18:18, where Jesus says, "Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." This promise speaks directly to our authority as Christians to engage in spiritual warfare effectively through prayer.

Binding refers to restraining or hindering the enemy's works, while loosing means releasing God's blessings, freedom, and will in a given situation. When practiced in prayer and faith, binding and loosing become vital tools to combat the plans of the enemy and establish God's kingdom here on earth.
