The Ministry Anointing of the Apostle

Chapter 5 5 Apostolic Authority

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:19 lthough I believe that every believer can operate to some degree in binding and loosing, I also believe that the full extent of authority released through binding and loosing will come through the ministry of the Apostle. All believers have the authority to use the name of Jesus, but authority is also related to anointing. Some will walk in greater spiritual authority because of a stronger anointing in a particular area. A Apostolic anointing releases a greater authority to bind and loose. The Church has heard teachings on binding and loosing, but we have not yet seen the fullness of it yet. Apostolic preaching and teaching binds the powers of darkness and looses people from their grip. Entire cities and regions can be opened up by binding the strongman and loosing multitudes from his control. The result is multitudes of people being saved, healed and delivered. There is a great amount of authority released through true apostolic ministry. Devils will only respond to authority. They don't respect those who do not walk in authority. Strong apostles are a threat to Satan's domain, and he fights them viciously to stop or hinder them from ministering.
