When The Door Slams
I assure you: Whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loose in heaven. Again, I assure you: If two of you on earth agree about any matter that you pray for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among them (Matthew 18:18-19).; Stand up, shake the dust off yourself! Take your seat, Jerusalem. Remove the bonds from your neck, captive Daughter Zion (Isaiah 52:2 HCSB).
This is A prophetic word to the church that says, "Loose thyself!" It is a powerful verse that relates to self-deliverance. We have been given the power and authority to loose ourselves from all types of bondage.
Zion is a prophetic word and symbol for the church. Isaiah prophesied that Zion would be a "captive daughter." This is so true of the condition of the church today. Even though many are saved and have received the promise of the Spirit, there are still many bondages that remain in the lives of believers. "Can a person deliver himself of demons?" My answer is yes. It is also my conviction that a person cannot really keep himself free of demons until he is walking in this dimension of deliverance.
How is it that a person can deliver himself? As a believer (and that is our assumption), a person has the same authority as the believer who is ministering deliverance to another. He has the authority in the name of Jesus, and Jesus plainly promised those who believe,: "In My name they will drive out demons" (Mark 16:17). A person needs only to learn how to go about performing self-deliverance. After a person has experienced an initial deliverance at the hands of an experienced minister, he can begin to practice self-deliverance.* The good news is that we have been given a prophetic promise and command to loose ourselves. Jesus told His disciples that "whatsoever" we loose on Earth is loose in heaven
Whatsoever is binding, harassing, or operating in your life contrary to the will of God can be loosed from your life because you have been given the authority to do so. The range of thing that can bind a believer is almost limitless. There are many bondages we can categorize that need to be exposed and broken in the lives of all believes. Once you identify the enemy, you can then proceed to free yourself from his clutches.
Think about this: I have ministered to many believers who are still bound and tied to their past. Your past can be a chain that keeps you from enjoying the present and being successful in your future: This remined me of a story about a young woman while ministering deliverance, a strong spirit manifested who boasted that he would not depart. The minister commanded the spirit to identify himself, and he replied that his name was Past. The spirit proceeded to explain that it was his job to keep the woman bound to her past so that she could not be successful in her Christian walk. The young woman had many unsuccessful relationships, and the past continued to haunt her.
This encounter helped to give a revelation of the fact that there are numerous spirits assigned to people to keep them bound to the past that have left scars and wounds that have not completely healed. Many of these wounds have been infected and have become the dwelling places of unclean spirits. People need to be loosed not only from demons but also from other people. Ungodly soul ties are avenues spirits of control and manipulation utilize when working upon their foolhardy victims.
Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any areas of unconfessed sin. Acknowledge these to the LORD and thank Him for His forgiveness
