Transmitting Gods Power - English

The Holy Spirit presents to us in Hebrews 6:1-2 the
basic tenets of the Christian faith-the fifth of which is "laying
on of hands. "We find this practice in the first book of the Bible
and extending through the entire history of God's people.

By it, we may transmit God's blessing and authority and
commission someone for service by recognizing and
endorsing God's choice.
In the New Testament the laying on of hands was used to
* impart healing,
* transmit the power of the Holy Spirit,
* commission church servants (deacons),
* send out apostles
* appoint elders
* and impart spiritual gifts

Derek concludes by issuing a warning about the dangers of
spiritual contamination and commending the safeguards of
prayer and humility.
