Foundations pt5 – Ministry of the Laying on of Hands
Foundations pt5—Ministry of Laying on of Hands
[Heb 6:1-3 NASB95]
Mark Hankins recently said that this is a fundamental ministry that is a missing ingredient in the church today, and it is hindering the Holy Spirit from moving.
The ministry of the laying on of hands has several Biblical reasons: the act of ordination, healing and/or blessing, and impartation.
God told me to have Norvel Hayes lay his hands on me.
What instructions do we need to know about the ministry of laying on of hands?
Here are three reasons and implications for the ministry of laying on of hands.
The Act of Ordination
[Deu 34:9 NASB95]
[1Ti 4:14 NASB95]
[1Ti 5:22 NASB95]
[Act 6:6 NASB95]
[Act 13:1-3 NASB95]
This is an important aspect of ministry. (Ordination service at CGIA.)
Healing and/or Blessing
[Mat 19:13-15 NASB95]
[Mar 10:16 NASB95]
[Mar 5:23 NASB95]
[Mar 6:5 NASB95]
[Mar 8:23-25 NASB95]
[Luk 4:40 NASB95]
[Luk 13:13-14 NASB95]
[Mar 16:18 NASB95]
[Act 28:8-9 NASB95]
[Act 9:17-19 NASB95]
[Act 4:29-31 NASB95]
Impartation

[Act 19:6 NASB95]
[Rom 1:11-12 NASB95]
[2Ti 1:6 NASB95]
Implications of laying on of hands.
You need to be connected to the church for that ministry to happen. If you are not around the men and women of God, hands will not be laid upon you. You are missing this FOUNDATIONAL ministry in your life.
You do not need to be OVERLY afraid of “negative” transference. Every leader who is going to lay hands on you is a human. You do need to determine if they have a demonic spirit but understand the blessing on you is stronger than the curse.
Control your spirit.
Guard your tongue.
Carefully select your spiritual authorities.
Guard your senses (hearing, seeing, feeling).
You need to release faith in God for what happens when hands are laid upon you. According to Mark Hankins, Hagin would have people say, “When he lays his hands on me, I will receive.”
You need to take every opportunity to have hands laid upon you.
God uses the ministry of laying on of hands to ordain us into the ministry, to bless/heal us and to impart a gift to us.
