Bind and loose what does that mean? To answer this question turn to Matthew 16:19 in your Bible.
Where it says:
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Jesus is speaking directly to the Apostle Peter his words meant that Peter would have the right to enter the kingdom himself.
And that preaching the gospel would be the means of opening the Kingdom to believers and shutting it against unbelievers.
Bind and loose was common to Jewish legal meaning to declare something forbidden or allowed.

Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Bind and loose or otherwise known as binding and loosing will be discussed next.
How To Bind And Loose
Bind and loose what does each word mean? Before learning how to bind and loose it’s important to understand the meaning
To tie or fasten – To Bind fasten with chains – To throw into chains
When you bind you are forbidding it, prohibiting it from happening, and putting it in chains.
To loose any person (or thing) tied or fastened
When you loose you are setting it free or untying something.
Now you are ready to use this in prayer.
For example, you know of a situation maybe even in your own life that is an injustice, demonic, not Godly, and a complete violation of the word of God.
After you have established that this is not the will of God you have authority to bind it up and loose the Kingdom and its righteousness in place of it.
Here’s an example of what this would sound like…
“I bind up fear and loose the love of Christ”
So when you bind up something you would think of the opposite to loose over the situation.
The best time to bind and loose is before a situation where you are about to face a confrontation or a specific bad situation.
This gives you an advantage over the enemy to make sure God has already sent his angles to take care of it before you get there.
Conclusion
Bind and loose is important to understand and use on a daily basis. Christians need to be steadfast and ready to use this authority given to them by Jesus to defeat demons and help other Christians as well.
Binding a demon is not the same as casting it out. Binding provides temporary relief while casting out has lasting effects. That is why it should be used consistently.
