Transmitting God’s Power Pt. 4

Derek Prince discusses the significance of laying on of hands in the context of sending out apostles, highlighting the church at Antioch as a model for outreach. He references Acts 13:1-3, where the Holy Spirit directs the church to separate Barnabas and Saul for ministry after prayer and fasting, emphasizing that true apostles are those sent out by the church under divine guidance. Prince critiques the internal focus of many modern churches, urging a shift towards a mission-oriented vision that prioritises the Great Commission over self-absorption.

Furthermore, Prince addresses the appointment of elders, citing Acts 14:23 and 1 Timothy 5:17-22. He stresses the importance of careful selection and the need for multiple witnesses when addressing accusations against elders, warning against hasty appointments that could lead to significant issues within the church. He concludes by underscoring the weighty responsibility that comes with laying on of hands, urging church leaders to seek God's will diligently before making such decisions.
