We have found that the minds of our loved ones are being blinded from the truth of the Word. But what can we do about it? I'm glad you asked!
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:19
Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 18:18
Jesus said that we, as believers, have power over all the power of the enemy. The Word power in the greek means "authority". Praise God! We have authority over all the power of satan in the lives of our loved ones. We do not have authority over people's will's, but we do have authority over the devil's evil influnence on them.
Now, someone might say, "how can you say that?"
Because 1 John 4:4 is true: Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. He that is in you is greater than the devil in your family! That's just what the Word of God says!
Notice the above scripture taken from Matthew's gospel. Jesus is telling us that whatever we bind - or in other words, refuse to allow on earth - God in heaven will refuse to allow. Also, this verse says that whatever we loose, or allow on earth, God in heaven will also allow it.
Let that soak in for a minute. Such authority the Lord has put into our hands! According to these passages, in the name of Jesus we can bind up the devil's works in the lives of our husband's, wives, sons ad daughter's, and we can loose the spirit of God to minister to their hearts.
Now, how is this accomplished? By opening your mouth and saying with all authority and boldness: "satan, in the name of Jesus Christ, I bind you from interfering with the Word of God reaching my loved ones, so that they can hear the Word, believe it in their hesrts and make confession unto salvation. I break your power over them, in Jesus' name, and command you to loose your grip on them!
We release our authority over the devil by speaking words.
Jesus never told you to think the devil away, but He did show you how to use the sword of the Spirit against him by speaking God's Word out of your mouth. (See Ephesians 6:17 and Luke 4:1-13.)
If you want to see your family set free from the bondage of satan, you will have to open up your mouth and speak it forth.
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
