Many versions of the Bible translate this verse by saying "will be bound" but a more literal and accurate translation would correctly say "is already bound". So, when I come to understand that Jesus is telling Peter and His disciples that what every they bind on earth is already bound in Heaven, and likewise whatever they loose on earth has already been loosed in Heaven, I see the secret to living in authority and power upon this earth is coming into agreement with Heaven! When I bind or loose anything, what I should be doing is coming into agreement with Heaven. Sickness, poverty, depression, cancer...all these things have been bound from Heaven, they do not and cannot exist there, so when I bind these things from my life on earth I am simply coming into agreement with heavenly realities. And, when I loose someone, or myself, from one of these things I am coming into agreement with the fact that they do not exist in Heaven, so they may have no place on earth. But, when I come into agreement with a man centered idea that contradicts the Word of God I allow the "

Gates of Hell" to keep back the realities of the Kingdom of Heaven from manifesting on this earth. When I deny a man centered idea and come into agreement with God's Word I am using the "Keys of Heaven" to release heavenly realities here on earth! Believe God's Word, and come into agreement with it, and you will see the supernatural power of God unleashed in your life!
