This is the formal process of obtaining the blessing and approval of King Jesus for families, groups, and teams according to Matthew 18:15-20. King Jesus calls this process ‘binding’ and ‘losing’.
- binding and losing is the key for access to the unlimited authority and power of King Jesus
- the spiritual gift of discernment is central to all prayer
- binding and loosing is only applicable to disciples of King Jesus
- therefore nonbelievers and Christians need the agreement of disciples in order to enact binding and loosing
- moreover, a broad base of deep and meaningful relationships among disciples is also a requirement
- all request will be honored so long as the need is according to the Word of God
- however the channel of communication matters
- Channel of 2: many requests are honored whenever two disciples stand in agreement
- Channel of 3: additional request are honored whenever three stand in agreement
- Channel of the Church: if a considerable amount of time has gone by and the prayer request has not been answered then take the need to elders of the Church to obtain a greater degree of significance and the request will be answered
- Always combine other channels of prayer no matter the status of the request (see Part III – Warfare on this page)
