Bible Verses
Matt. 18:18 Truly I say to you, Whatever you bind on the
earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose
on the earth shall have been loosed in heaven.
John 7:17 If anyone resolves to do His will, he will know
concerning the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I
speak from Myself.

We know that God created man for the purpose that man would
become one with Him to destroy Satan and his works. Man has a
free will, and God's intention is that man would will to join
his will to God to oppose the will of Satan. This is the
purpose of creation; it is also the purpose of redemption.
The life of the Lord Jesus demonstrates this. Although we do
not know the reason, we know that God would not act
independently. If God's people would not sympathize with Him,
if they would not subject their wills, and if they would not express their oneness with God in their prayer, God would
rather delay and sit back, than do anything alone. God has
shown great honor to His people to allow them to work with
Him. Although He is omnipotent, He loves to be restricted by
His children. Although He is zealous for His own will, He
would rather allow Satan's evil plots to run rampant, if His
people neglect His will and do not sympathize with Him or
work with Him. Oh! If God's children will not be as cold as
they are now, and if they will be willing to stop themselves,
to submit to God's will, to care for God's glory, and to keep
His word more, God's eternal purpose concerning what He
intends to accomplish in this age will be fulfilled much
sooner. The church also would not be in so much confusion,
sinners would not be so stubborn, the Lord Jesus would return
sooner, the kingdom of heaven would descend sooner, Satan and
his hosts would be cast into the abyss sooner, and the
knowledge of Jehovah would spread over the earth sooner. It
is because believers care too much for themselves and do not
work with God that so many enemies and so much lawlessness
remain unbound, and so many sinners and so much grace are not
loosed. Oh, heaven has been too restricted by men on earth!
