Depends on one's spiritual gifts / calling. The seven sons of Sceva (some say were unbelievers others say they were believers not called to do battle with demons) were in over their heads. I realize greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world, yet I also see that Michael chiefest and strongest among the angels...
Jude 9 (NKJV)
9Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”

17And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

Ephesians 3:10 says, "God works through the church to deal with principalities, powers, rulers of Darkness and spiritual wickedness. These are the four divisions of Satan's armed forces. So if God can't get the attention of the church, then you are subject to what happens in the culture.
Jesus said, "I will give you the keys to the Kingdom." Jesus is talking about the Church. The Kingdom is the rule of God. Jesus is not just giving us one key but keys. Because hell has gates. So for every hellish gate there is a heavenly key. And that key is to unlock a door up there to fix a problem down here. Every time Satan shows up with racism, injustice, or any other sins you are to use that key to unlock that door. Because the Church has that key. Many Churches are praying without any results because they don't have that key because of their alignment with God.
Gods kingdom is lived from the perspective of heaven, not earth. That's why Jesus said, Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
What far too many Christians do is mix a little of God with a lot of the world. Is this something that you have done? Have you wound up experiencing less of God because His kingdom is not of this world? When you bring the world into the Word, you are asking the King to bless something that His kingdom is not a part of, and He won't do it. If you lose sight of the kingdom, Gods perspective gets lost. Yet when Gods kingdom is prioritized, you get to see heaven both rule and overrule in your life.
It is time for the body of Christ (The Church) to start Binding - Loosing and Decreeing with authority.
Binding occurs on Earth. It means to restrict or restrain.
Loose means to permit or to free up.
Decree - You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established for you: and the light shall shine upon your ways. Job 22:28 NKJV
The Gates of Hell will deceive and keep a Christian locked up in bondage while releasing chaos in your life to steal, kill and destroy you.

Matthew 18:18-20 Amplified Bible (AMP)
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be [a]what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be [b]what is already permitted in heaven.
19 Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and [c]everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven.
20 For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I Am in the midst of them.

This authority was given to the apostles, and primarily to Peter (apostle to the Jews) and Paul (apostle to the Gentiles). However prayer can now be effective in exercising Christ's authority through the Church.

When they forgive others, and when they don't forgive others.

Look at the context of the Matthew 18:15-21 NASB passage.
Compare to this:
23 "If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained." (John 20:23 NASB)
The children of the kingdom are still children. Sometimes I have frustrated children; by expecting them to be adults. Sometimes I have allowed the Peter Pan (I'll never grow up) in myself. Knowing the additude of heaven for a particular instance (should it be loosed or bound) is needed. Being sensitive to (who touched me), is needed. If we use our carnal flesh to decide, we may find things not working. If we invite him in; it is no longer us that does it.

Example applications of binding and loosing prayers
Binding the enemy's plans; loosing God's plans
This is based on the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6:10. First we bind the plans of evil in the situation we are facing in the name of Jesus Christ. Then, we call forth God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
"Father in heaven, I stand in faith on the authority I have as a believer in Jesus Christ, and a co-heir to his kingdom. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind every evil spirit and every evil plan made in this situation. I cancel the enemy's plans and call forth God's plans for this situation. God's word says that God has plans for good and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11) for us and I claim those plans now. Father, I ask that your will be done in this situation, as it is done in heaven. I give thanks and praise to you. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
Simple Binding Prayer:
"Father God, I thank you for sending your Son Lord Jesus Christ to die for me, and resurrecting him to sit at your right hand in Heaven right now. I thank you for bestowing upon Him all power and authority over evil. In the name of Jesus Christ, I speak to any evil spirits, especially spirits of *___________ (fill in the blank), I bind you from attacking me now and throughout this day. Leave me now and go straight to Lord Jesus Christ who will deal with you. I am covered and protected by the blood of Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."
*Note that evil spirits often have specific functions and names. Examples of evil spirits include principalities, powers, rulers of Darkness, spiritual wickedness (these are the four divisions of Satan's armed forces), lust, adultery, pride, despair, strife, anger, unforgiveness, discouragement, condemnation, shame, hate, envy, covetousness, idolatry, homosexuality, suicide, obsession, oppression, domination, control and witchcraft. These are just a few of the many possible spirits.
The Blood of Jesus Christ is a powerful weapon for protection from the enemy's attacks. The following prayer is a good one to pray before starting the day:
"Lord, I cover myself and everyone around me with the blood of Lord Jesus Christ. I cover all of the members of my family (call them by name) with the blood of Lord Jesus Christ. I cover my home, my land, my car, my finances, my marriage, my ministry, with the blood of Jesus. In the Name of Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of His blood, I break off every power of the kingdom of darkness and cancel every argument in heaven that has established itself against the plans of God in my life and spoil every attack of the enemy. I call forth, in the name of Jesus, all of God's plans and purposes for my life, and my family. As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord. Satan, the blood of Jesus is against you and you have no authority over my life. NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME (OR MY FAMILY) SHALL PROSPER!"
