"16 Types of Prayer: #3 Binding & Loosing Prayer"

Prayer is the vehicle we use to communicate with the Lord. Over the last few days we have been covering different types of prayer. Today we take a closer look at "Loosing & Binding".

This is mentioned in the passage of scripture located in the Bible at Matthew 18:19. It reads as follows: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven". This may excite people of faith everywhere. First we see we have been given "keys". This represents authority as well as trust. I don't know about you but I don't give any of my keys to just anyone. It has to be someone I sincerely trust. I hope a bright light begins to flicker in the minds of our readers about how important you are in the eyes of the Lord. What a honor and privilege he has entrusted to you and I. The keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. His Kingdom. There is no Kingdom in Heaven, Earth or underneath the Earth greater than his Kingdom. We have a awesome responsibility to use this trust/authority wisely.

Next, we see the word "whatever". What a broad based word whatever seems to be. One definition on Dictionary.com defines whatever as "in any amount; to any extent". I don't know about you but of a lot of things come to mind that could be classified as "whatever". There may be various dark situations trying to come against ones life, family, church, community and a whole bunch of other stuff right now that can now be declared as improper or unlawful. With this in mind believers everywhere can begin to stand up to earnestly contend with Kingdom authority bestowed upon them to legislate Kingdom transactions in the heavens which will in turn bring forth positive change in the earth. Did you see that? You no longer have to sit back and accept negative situations impacting your life. Based on this scripture you and I can stand with complete authority to take control over "whatever" negative seen or unseen force that may be coming against you.

Began to bind up whatever is impacting your life negatively while loosing the positive counter part. For instance, bind up all fear then loose holy boldness in your life because God has not given us the spirit of fear but power, love and a sound mind. This is just a small example of what can be done by applying the Binding & Loosing prayer principle.

"Surprise Me God 30-Day Experiment: Created by Terry Esau: Day 5”

I am still riding on the sheer excitement of being entrusted with our own LIVE online TV show. This is totally incredible. Never would have imagined it in a million years. Anyways, while on the way to church out of the clear blue in the mist of total silence one of my children blurts out......"well today is the last Sunday of the year 2007. What are you going to do with it?" This was a very thought provoking surprise to hear come out of the mouth of a child whose age is just entering the double digits. Needless to say My husband and I began to quickly focus on this important fact brought to our attention. Inside I knew it was the Lord presenting me my "Surprise" in a very memorable way.....yet again.

"Prayer Exercise"

Lift your hands and say these words with me: Father God you are a awesome and mighty God. I thank you for trusting me with the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Moving forward I promise not to take this authority lightly. Teach me what to bind & loose around me in Jesus Name. Amen".
