Matthew 18:18 (NAS)
Truly I say to you, whatever you shall bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 18:18 (Philips)
Believe me, whatever you forbid upon earth will be what is
forbidden in Heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be what is permitted
in Heaven.
Matthew 18:18 (NLT)
I tell you this: Whatever you prohibit on earth is prohibited in
heaven, and whatever you allow on earth is allowed in heaven.
Before Jesus
ascended to Heaven, He transferred His authority to His disciples, those
who were His close followers. Because you are now a close follower of
Yeshua, you too possess His authority.
You, therefore,
can speak as Jesus spoke, for He has given you dominion and jurisdiction on
earth. You have the right to bind evil or wrong things, which means that
you can forbid and prohibit their illicit activities. You have the power to
fasten Satan and his minions in chains. What you declare bound on
earth will also be bound in Heaven. Adonai will uphold your authority and
your words.
On the other hand, if you
see someone that Satan has bound in his chains, you have the authority to loose
that person from those bonds and to set him free. Through the word of God,
you can annul anything unholy that was spoken against him. With your authority,
you can deprive Satan of his power. You have the right to overthrow,
demolish, and destroy his kingdom. Your Heavenly Father will back up your
decisions, based on the authority that He has given you
