"I can't bind and loose because I haven't been trained or ordained by anyone."
How it sounds in your head: Binding and loosing sounds intense—like something pastors do after years of training. I've never been ordained. No one has laid hands on me or commissioned me. Who am I to bind demons or loose Heaven's will? That's for the professionals.
"Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
-- Matthew 18:18Source: Religion creating clergy/laity divide that restricts spiritual authority to ordained positions rather than all believers.
Church structure reinforces hierarchy—pastors do ministry, laypeople attend. Deliverance and spiritual warfare feel like advanced-level activities requiring credentials he doesn't have.
Ananias was an ordinary disciple—no title, no apostolic position. Yet God sent HIM to lay hands on Saul (Paul) for healing and filling with the Holy Spirit. This nobody in Damascus became the instrument for launching the greatest apostle in history. Ordination wasn't required—only obedience.
I REFUSE the lie that I need ordination or training to walk in binding and loosing authority. IT IS WRITTEN that whatever I bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever I loose on earth is loosed in heaven. Jesus gave this authority to BELIEVERS, not to a special class of clergy. I am ordained by the Holy Spirit who lives IN me. IT IS WRITTEN that these signs follow those who BELIEVE, and I believe. I stand in the BARAK blessing—the same covenant that protected shepherds and deceivers now flows to me through Christ. I bind every demonic assignment against my life, and I loose Heaven's will over my future, my finances, and my destiny IN JESUS' NAME.
The Father doesn't require you to earn a degree before He releases His power—He placed His Spirit in you, which means you carry full access and full authority right now. The prodigal got the ring of authority before proving anything; sonship grants authority, not credentials.
