This verse is emphatic that Satan was bound by Christ himself at the cross, and so we don't need to re-bind him with Harry Potter like charismatic prayers, though I'm not suggesting that Jill is saying that, this is a general response to her question.
Satan doesn't own this world - God does; Psalm 24:1 'The earth is the Lords and the FULLNESS thereof' and so there is nothing that we have to bind or pray against, for Satan being bopund at the cross by Christ himself doesn't own anything and so have no legal right to any nation, country or territory.
Finally, Christians are to grow and mature by submission and surrender to Christ. There is no command in the Bible where mounted upon our nimbus 2000 we are told to then our on utter magical charismatic incantations in tongues which magically bind Satan as if a scene from the latest Harry Potter film. Christ has bound Satan for us at the cross ( Colossians 2:14-15) for us and our command is only to personally be obedient to him, to proclaim his law to the lost so that they might be saved. |
IB, this post is so wacked out I laughed when I read it. I haven't read such nonsense on AFF like that in a LONG time....
You're comparing the Christian fight with a Harry Potter movie?!?! whatever....

Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and
to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
1 Corinthians 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again,
that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
1 Thessalonians 2:18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again;
but Satan hindered us.
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Satan clearly hasn't been bound yet.... nor his influence....
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
although I do agree that the Spirit of God abiding in us is greater than anything that opposes us....

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because
your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
I'm sorry, you were saying something about having nothing spiritual to pray about or fight against???
I'm not sure what planet you're from.... but if you haven't experienced any type of spiritual warfare yet, you obviously aren't any threat to Satan or to his purpose....
