Matthew 16:19 says, “…whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall
be bound IN HEAVEN: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall
be loosed IN HEAVEN.” Does anything need to be bound in heaven,
or does anything need to be loosed in heaven? Not in the heaven where
God is. The Bible speaks of three heavens (II Corinthians 12:2). The
first heaven is the atmospheric heaven that’s around the earth, the second
heaven is where the great solar systems and galaxies lie, and the
third heaven is where God is. So, when we exercise our authority to
bind or loose, the heaven that’s affected is the first heaven, for in the
atmospheric heaven around the earth is where there is demon activity.
In Second Corinthians 4:4, Satan is called the god of this world.
How did he get to be the god of this world? Adam originally had the
authority over the earth, for in Genesis 1:28 God told man to subdue
the earth and to have dominion. But when Adam disobeyed God and
sinned, committing high treason against God, he turned over his
authority upon the earth to the one he obeyed – Satan; that’s how
Satan became the god of this world. But when Jesus defeated Satan,
He restored that authority back to the Church – the Body of Christ.
Satan no longer has any authority over us.
