Matthew 16:19 - I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
The Greek meaning for bind is "declare as illicit". The Greek meaning for loose is "declare as lawful."
What we declare as illicit on earth will be in heaven ------ what we forbid
What we declare as lawful on earth will be in heaven ------ what we allow
Things happening on earth in the past and present are not due to God forbidding or allowing, but due to men forbidding or allowing them on earth, for we have been entrusted with the earth through His dominion authority.
This is the most important understanding on the Kingdom of God. Missing this will totally change the way you view the world through the biblical lens, and the way you live.
"Let us pray and let God work" is NOT the message of the Kingdom of God.
"Let us pray and be empowered to do God's work" is the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
We are not waiting for God to move. God is waiting for us to move. We are not waiting for a move of God again and again. We are THE move of God because God has already moved heaven down for us 2000 years ago through His Son.
