It’s very important for believers while binding the powers of darkness to mention the specific forces or the areas of their operations. After binding such forces, the believer can as well cast them to a specific location. For instance, one can mention and bind the demons of vanity, fear, anger, lust, forgetfulness, etc…
If someone is also aware of certain locations of concentrated demons, such person can direct prayers to such locations. But one must be a true Christian before he can prevail in doing this. It’s very dangerous for someone living in sin to do this, because the moment the thick smoke of your prayer is noticed in the realm of forces of darkness, you become a potential target of attack.
Consequently, when you say, “I bind the powers of darkness”, that is good, but it may not accomplish much as when you bind specific spirits and their operations. Above all, the intensity of your holiness in Christ is the force that lifts up your prayer-force in all aspects.
A Christian mother take her authority and bind demons operating in her neighborhood and bind them all in the name of Jesus. All of the sudden, the observers saw all kind of demons that were operating in that area being rounded up by angels. These demons were disarmed and made powerless. They were bounds in chains by the angels of God as a result of this woman doing spiritual warfare.
When you fully submit to the keeping power of the Almighty God through Christ, then you will no longer fear what Satan, demons, and their human agents will do to you, whether in the night or in the day. The moment you become daily conscious of the presence of the Spirit of God before and behind you, then you will comprehend that no evil spirit can approach you. Therefore, even the greatest evil spirit, Satan must flee from you if you are always in the presence of the Father and of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nevertheless, the Father has given each believer the banner of victory through the name and the blood of Jesus Christ. And in every field of battle against the powers of darkness, each believer has strength in the Holy Spirit to lift up his banner of victory.
Your banner of victory is your faith and righteousness in Christ our Lord, uphold it daily. But don’t depend on your strength, otherwise, you will fail. Do not depend on men, otherwise, you will be disappointed.
Depend solely on the keeping power of the Father, and live daily in the holy presence of Christ. So shall the Holy Spirit preserve you from all the manipulations of the powers of darkness.
