Summary
Thor has his hammer. Indiana Jones has his whip. Robin Hood has his bow. Iron Man has…laser hands. I don’t really know what you call them. Anyway- in Matthew 16, Jesus gave us an incredible weapon that we can use to fight our enemies as well. He said Matthew 16:19 “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” And wouldn’t you know, Christians like to argue about what exactly these words mean. Is this about spiritual warfare? Is this about church discipline? In the words of Iron Man himself: “is it too much to ask for both?" Thankfully, this answer is not a mystery. When we look at the biblical vocabulary around fighting off demons and fallen angels in the Bible, it actually becomes pretty simple. Notice: I called today’s episode “What Happens When You Bind a Spirit,” and I didn’t put a question mark on the end of it. I’m not asking a question today. I’m going to show you what happens when you bind a spirit. And once I’m done, you’ll be praying prayers of binding and loosing more than ever. Because this concept is not supposed to be weird for Christians to do. Some Christians think that praying prayers like this is kinda out-there. But it’s actually supposed to be pretty normal. So if you want to learn more, turn with me to Luke 13, and let’s get normal. Sign up for the weekly newsletter! Get additional insights and Bible study tips for unpacking strange things in scripture.
