Have you ever tried to tie things together? Like shoe strings, sailing knot’s! When I look at Matthew 16:19, I first thought that this said as an example “Satan, I bind you from me in Jesus name”. As I get older in the Lord, I find that this meaning a “bind too” is a more accurate translation rather than binding from. An example would be tying someone up or binding things together. The Old Testament word was used to “Bind” to bind God’s word to us.
So something to think about Luke 11:13 If you then, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” So lets acknowledging the Holy Spirit and bind Him to us as we study our Father’s word, binding the Holy Spirit to a ministry or personal event. This does not take away of God moving has He will's, but keeps things within the confinds of the authority of the Word of God.
I learned this in praying for open air meetings, walking the area, binding the Holy Spirit power there for Salvation, deliverance, Healing, Holy Spirit Baptism, gifts of the Spirit. I then began to develop this in to other areas, quite time, work, home and it seems to work well. I know He is everywhere, and this acknowledgement reminds me that He is a part of my personal life as well.
Matthew 16:13 netbible, When Jesus came to the area of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 16:14 They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 16:15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16:16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 16:17 And Jesus answered him, “You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven! 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.” 16:20 Then he instructed his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
