BINDING SPIRITS

“We bind you in the name of Jesus...”
People in the Charismatic movement often command the Devil. They imagine having the authority to bind evil spirits. That and if they put on the armor of God, their meeting will be protected from evil influences. But the power to bind evil spirits is a power given to only a select few in the church.
“Then he summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness.” (Matthew 10:1)
Who were the twelve? They were the Apostles. So how on earth can charismatics presume that a “Life in the Spirit Seminar” will prepare them for exorcism? If we all had authority over evil spirits, why did Christ picked only twelve for the job?
“Yet the archangel Michael, when he argued with the devil in a dispute over the body of Moses, did not venture to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him but said, May the Lord rebuke you!" (Jude 1:9-10)
