Angels In The Bible: If angels don’t have physical bodies, how did the Israelites make the golden angels for the ark of the covenant and how do you explain what Ezekiel saw?
Activity Of Angels: The fourth man in the fiery furnace wasn’t an angel, he was Jesus.
God still heals people and casts out demons, whether you like it or not. These weren’t just “sign gifts” that only the apostles were privy to. Raising the dead isn’t one of the signs that will accompany believers in Mark 16. We can’t make God do anything, but if we ask according to His will, He will do it, and it is God’s will that people be healed.
Likewise, we can not in ourselves bind Satan. We must never try to do this. However, we can bind and command Satan and cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. The verse in Mathew about whatever we bind or loose on earth being bound or loosed in Heaven doesn’t just refer to the preaching of the gospel.

how can you claim that we, in ourselves, cannot bind satan, and in the next sentence, say we can bind satan? you sound unstable. please backup your statement with scripture.
Mathew 16 19 says "whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven." This refers to binding Satan and his forces, not just the preaching of the Gospel, the way many people interpret it. I meant we couldn't bind Satan in and of ourselves, strictly under our own power. We have to do it in the name of Jesus. "ask in my name and it shall be granted unto you"
