The Trumpet: A Mouthpiece Part I a.

"Behold, I have put My words in your mouth...To root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant." Jeremiah 1:9-10


In these verses, God was telling Jeremiah that with Jeremiah's mouth, He would use him to tear down the kingdom of darkness and to build up the kingdom of God.  We can clearly see that statement is two-fold: AGAINST the kingdom of darkness and FOR the kingdom of God.  This two-fold authority and power is also given to us as believers.  It is never to be used in the natural realm to tear down people, but is to be used in the spiritual realm--through prayer--to tear down the things the enemy is doing behind the scenes that are in opposition to the plans and purposes of God and to work with God to fulfill His plans and purposes in the earth.

Here's an extremely quick run-through on authority:  God gave Adam the authority in this earth; Adam gave it ti satan; Jesus came, got the authority back; and He gave it back to people where it belonged in the first place.

On the earth, the spirit realm has been limited to people.  God has just chosen it to be that way.  If it weren't set up like this, there would be no need to pray.  God's will would just automatically happen.  God's will would just be done all the time, and in every circumstance.  But, that's not what happens and that's not the way God has set it up.  Instead, here's what I have experienced:
1.  God moves on His people to pray.
2.  We choose whether or not we want to yield to Him and pray.  If we do,
3.  He then anoints us to pray His will, and in return
4.  He is released to DO His will.
I know it sounds crazy to our limited, human way of thinking that the All-Powerful Jehovah God is somehow limited--but that's the way HE set up our relationship and HE knows what he's doing.

Having said that, let's look at something Jesus did.  In Matthew 6:10, Jesus prayed to the Father, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."  Those very words that came out of His mouth, somehow, someway, opened the doors for God to be able to do things in the earth.  Just by Jesus opening His mouth and praying that seemingly simple prayer, it gave angels the right to do what God wanted.  Not only that, but that simple prayer also closed the doors for the devil to be able to do things in the earth.

When you and I are praying for certain situations, we can open our mouths and invite God's will to be done and the same results happen.  It gives God the right and releases angels while taking satan's rights and restraining demons.  That's basically what "binding" and "loosing" is all about.  Here's what Matthew 16:19 says:

     "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,  and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." NKJV


Here's how the Amplified Bible words this verse:


"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven."


Keeping in accordance with the above scripture coupled with Matthew 6:10, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven", I can only loose on earth what is in heaven; I can only bind on earth the things that are in hell.
