Basking in God's Presence
Binding and Loosing
Binding and loosing finds it meaning in two ways. First, it involves an authoritative act by a Christian to restrict or cast out demonic activity. Under the Holy Spirit's direction and authority, believers may speak to demonic powers and bind their evil from dominating others, or, they may loose God's favor, healing, or blessing upon others (Matthew 16:19; 18:18).
Blessing, Prayer of
The prayer of blessing involves pronouncing God's favor or goodness upon others. • Exodus 39:43 says, "Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them" (NIV). • Leviticus 9:23 says, "Moses and Aaron then went into the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people" (NIV). • Joshua 22:7 says, "When Joshua sent them home, he blessed them, (8) saying, "Return to your homes with your great wealth-with large herds of livestock, with silver, gold, bronze and iron, and a great quantity of clothing-and divide with your brothers the plunder from your enemies" (NIV). • Ephesians 1:18 reveals Paul's apostolic blessing.
