Miracles are performed by God as an indicator that God is present and His kingdom is alive and well on earth today. In Matthew 12:29 we read, "Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his good unless he first binds the strong man?" Jesus did this to satan when He came to earth - Jesus bound satan, defeating satan which loosed the rights for kingdom living and set man free from his born sin! Hallelujah!
Jesus has given us this right to do so on earth today. We, as His church with the keys given us can take the strong man or let him have his way. God wants us to claim the earth for the kingdom of God! Binding and loosening are part of our lifestyle in the kingdom.
Our example, one of many, can be found in Acts 16:18. "And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And he came out that very hour."
With this example given by Paul we see how to bind "something" on earth. There was a demon present in the life of this woman and Paul cast it out. The demon was forbidden to be a part of the woman any longer. The demonic spirit no longer had reign or control over the woman's life. We could say she made a lifestyle change here for the kingdom of God!
What are you allowing to control you? Are you willing to let go of the things holding you back? Let God be first in your life. Take hold of the keys He has given you. You have them. Use them. Let His power and authority reign in you today! Let His miracles be present in you and with you - all for His glory!
