“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”  Matt 18:18
I once met with a couple of men weekly for a breakfast meeting at a pancake
restaurant.  In doing this, my heart’s desire has always been to search the Lord
for what He would share at these meetings, and one particular week there was
just silence.  Wrestling with this, I surrendered this ministry to the Lord and met
this day with only one person who showed up.  As he waited for me in front of
the restaurant, there was another man present.  Assuming that maybe this was
an opportunity to proclaim the Kingdom of God and share, I greeted the man
and introduced myself to him; however, I later realized that this man was
demonized.  In conversation with the man, the Holy Spirit repeatedly whispered
one word to me…. “confusion.”  The man had much to say quoting his scripture
and speaking of the end times; however, the Holy Spirit repeated this word of
knowledge to me (1 Cor 12).  In closing, I was constrained at a point in my
conversation with him to bind this spirit by simply saying to him, “In the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ, I command you demon of confusion to be quiet.”  A force
came upon him knocking him backwards a few steps, and when trying to talk,
he was muzzled.  Panic ran across his face as he desperately tried to talk;
however, no sound came from his moving lips.  It was at this point that I was
able to share the Gospel with him.  Praise the Lord.
In Christ,
