I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Throughout my Christian walk this scripture caused me much confusion in the mind. But since it was a scripture that says, 'Key of the Kingdom of Heaven' I thought I better get clarity on it, and see how it works. We like keys... they open doors and close doors!
So a few years ago the Lord gave me a revelation regarding this scripture. I'll share it with you.
Binding and Loosening
(Matthew 16:19 International Standard Version, good understandable translation)
“I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you prohibit on earth will have been prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven.”
Oxford Press
“Binding and Loosing” The expression occurs twice in Matt. (16: 19 and 18: 18) and is spoken first to Peter and then to the whole group of disciples. It is a rabbinical term, an authoritative declaration about what is permitted or forbidden.
I hope this clears things up for you also. Now, if you are a believer and have become a child of God's, you can NOW take authority in Jesus name, and begin to prohibit or permit.
This has been one of the most powerful scripture to getting things in order in your Christian walk.
Use the word of God... speak this scripture out loud... remember you must always use God's word 'in love' and without any selfishness.
Blessings to you on the journey of Binding and Loosening.
