BINDING OR LOOSING !

BINDING OR LOOSING ! The spirit world can be controlled By the Word of God and your words. Jesus gave Peter some insight concerning the kingdom. "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 16:19). Notice the binding or loosening are taking place on the earth. With words you bind things, or you lose other things. Sometimes you think you are just being honest, and you loose the devil against your finances or against your body by saying things like, "Well, we just never can get ahead." "If I ever do get a good job, I lose it." Or "I feel sick all the time." Or I don't think I can do anything because I'm sick." Those words loose the enemy against you. The enemy operates on the authority of your words. Notice, begin: the authority is taken on the earth first. The Word says: "Whatever you do will prosper, and no weapon formed against you will prosper. If you give, it will be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men give into you. You have favor with men and God." (Psalms 1:3; Isaiah 54:17; Luke 6:38; Acts 2:47). That's what God said about it. But sometimes we say, "nothing I ever do works. It always blows up in my face." We have said that because we have not understood the power of the words spoken out of our mouth. In fact, Jesus said whatever is in the mouth comes out of the heart. Do you realize what negative words can do to your spirit ? They may not affect anyone else much, but they will affect you. Words spoken are powerful because you release them into your spirit. How, ? Because faith comes by hearing. You release the ability of God by speaking God's Word in you, and your words. God's word in your mouth produces a force called "Faith" in the human spirit. What is abundantly in your heart gets back in your mouth, and when it gets in your mouth, it gets abundantly in your heart. It starts what is called a dynamo going, and it generates a spiritual force called faith. (Hebrews 11:1) says this faith is the substance of things hoped for. It is the evidence of things not seen. So faith is the evidence of those things that you hope for. That faith comes from God's Word. Faith is both the substance and the evidence of the things desired. What is the substance of what a farmer desires ? The only thing he has to start with in the spring of the year is seed. He has the seed of a harvest. Now compare yourself with the farmer: what do you have in the spring of the year, you have seeds for a harvest. The seed is in itself. The ability to reproduce is in that seed. It will produce the same many times more than you are he plants. God's Word --- is incorruptible seed --- your words without God's Word is corruptible seed --- His promises are incorruptible seed --- are just as powerful. Not one bit of the power has departed from His Word. There is as much power in His Word now as there was the day that He spoke it. His Word is not void of power --- but his people are void of speech: or saying what they feel or talking like the devil all the world. They will not speak what God have said. But they speak what the world says. They speak what the enemy says. Even as that is created power in His Word to be released when you speak it, that is even also evil power present in the words of the enemy to affect and oppress everyone who speaks them. People have understood to some degree that there is created power in God's Word. But I don't think they have ever stopped to think that as surely as there is power in God's Word, there is evil power present in the words of the enemy and the world to affect and oppress those who speak them, that's where all oppression depression comes from.
