Transmitting God’s Power Pt. 5

In this teaching, Derek Prince explores the biblical significance of the laying on of hands, highlighting its role in transmitting authority and equipping individuals for service within the church. He references Paul's letters, particularly to Timothy, where he emphasizes that spiritual gifts can be imparted through this practice, as seen in 2 Timothy 1:6, where Paul reminds Timothy to stir up the gift of God given through the laying on of his hands. Prince suggests that Timothy received the charisma of apostleship during this process, underscoring the ongoing need for apostles in the church today, as stated in Ephesians 4:11-13.

Prince also addresses the importance of discernment in recognizing true apostles, warning against the dangers of endorsing unworthy individuals and the risk of spiritual contamination when laying hands on others. He stresses the necessity of prayer, humility, and reliance on the Holy Spirit for protection during such acts. Ultimately, he encourages believers to be aware of the authority given by Jesus over evil spirits, as mentioned in Luke 10:19, ensuring that they are spiritually prepared when engaging in the laying on of hands.
