“What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven....” Mat 18:18

“These are precious words. Here heaven is measured by earth, for there is always more power in heaven than the measure of our asking; there is always more to be loosed or bound in heaven than we ask down here. Why do we seek deliverance from sin? Why are we always crying to God for enduement with power? To pray “Thy will be done in me” is a good beginning no doubt, but we must go on to “Thy will be done on earth.” The children of God today are taken up with far too small things, whereas their prayer is intended for the release of heaven’s mighty acts. Prayer for myself or my own immediate concerns must lead on to prayer for the Kingdom. In this the church should be heaven’s outlet, the channel of release for heaven’s power, the medium of accomplishment of God’s purpose. Many things have accumulated in heaven because God has not yet found His outlet on earth; the church has not yet prayed.”
