Day 9, binding and loosing

Matthew 18:18 NKJV
“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

To be honest I still cannot understand this passage.

According to Freeda,  Jesus was teaching this base on Moses teaching on Deu 6.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9 NKJV
“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

My understanding on Deu 6,  is I shall teach the word of God to the my children anywhere and anytime. What it is to do with binding and loosing ?

Reading Matthew 18.

After reading verse 19,  it seem to me that this is concerning agreement and disagreement between me and another person. Basically what ever agree on earth will be agree as well in heaven.

Matthew 18:19 NKJV
“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Take one step back. Jesus was teaching on how to settle the disagreement.

Matthew 18:15-17 NKJV
“Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.  But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’  And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

1,  talk to the person one-to-one basis. If cannot resolve.
2,  bring some people along as witness.  If still cannot sort it out.
3,  bring it to the church. If still cannot resolve.
4. That is let the person be sinner.

Check Dictionary.com,  heathen mean unbeliever.

I believe this is referring to between believer. Because the matter will be bring to church. What happened if this is between believer and non believer?   In this world it is impossible that we only work with believer. This is not the purpose as well. As the gospel should be given to the world. One of Jesus teaching that only sick person need to see Dr. Only sinner need Jesus. If our circle only within believer,  non believer will never come to know the Gospel.

Is this happen to me.

Point 1 did not take place. She never talk to me one-to-one basis to resolve the issues.

Point 2. It happened that I brought my brother along.

Point 3. I brought to the church counselling. But halt due to one party only cannot be counseled

Point 4. Taken place believe

Then on earth,  I need to go to court of law. It take longer than I expected to resolve the issues.

At the end what Freeda try to bring up is we should bind the word of God with my spirit,  soul and body. Loosing every symptom of sickness or evil.

I bind myself,  spirit,  soul and body to the healing stripes Jesus bore for me. And loose myself from every symptoms of my sickness. Life in Christ is my portion and His life is all I will receive.
