WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.080 Father, We just thank you God for your word today. 2 00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:06.240 Let it be a refreshing to us. Let it be 3 00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.679 a newness to us. God, Holy Spirit, I give you 4 00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.800 the space, I give you the platform. God, I want 5 00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.280 you to be our teacher today. God, Fatherly welcome in 6 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.800 the newness of your word, the newness of what you 7 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.640 would have to share with your people. I pray for 8 00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.359 hearts to be ready to receive. 9 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:38.119 From you in Jesus name. Amen, Amen, Amen, what morning 10 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:39.880 it has been great. 11 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.359 I wanted to start and open today with a few 12 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.600 observations from the last times that we've been listening to 13 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.200 all the sermons, and just I'm gonna go like super 14 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.000 duper like breeze over them. I'm just gonna give you 15 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.840 my observations, okay. Because they were talking about Isaac and 16 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:02.200 j Isaac and Abraham. Abraham had wells that he had dug. 17 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.640 Isaac went out to redig the wells that his father 18 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.799 had dug, but they were stopped. And so what happens 19 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.760 is Isaac is confronted in Genesis twenty six, verse eighteen 20 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.519 from there on by the Philistines. And so the first 21 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.359 time that he has a confrontation, he names the well 22 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:29.000 esik in verse twenty. Then in verse twenty one, he 23 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.879 digs another well, and they quarrel over that one also, 24 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.920 so he called that one's name Sitna. And then he 25 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.400 moved from there and dug another well, and they did 26 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.040 not quarrel over it. So he calls it reroboth because 27 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.920 he said, for now the Lord has made room for us, 28 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.599 and we shall be fruitful in the land. Notice that 29 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.200 every single time that he names it, he names it 30 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.719 after what happens as a result of them claiming it 31 00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.319 and opening it up. Right, And so for first, Isaac 32 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.359 calls the first one contention. I looked up the next one. 33 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:07.120 It's actually called strife. So the first one was an 34 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.719 altercation with words, the second one was an altercation physically right, 35 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.039 And so they kept getting worse and worse confrontations till 36 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.280 the third one. Then a breakthrough happened where the enemy 37 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.919 did not contend over that well. 38 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.120 Amen. Amen. 39 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.800 So in these biblical times it meant that that the 40 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.000 hope of the enemy is for you, when you are 41 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.879 met with contention, that you will stop. 42 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:38.919 And turn around. 43 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:44.240 The enemy does not anticipate your willingness, though, to contend 44 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.319 fiercely over what is yours. Because remember those wells were 45 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.199 dubbed by his father Abraham, and Isaac came and redug 46 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.159 the wells and named them. So here's my observations from 47 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.560 what we've been talking and how it applies to the 48 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:02.680 ancient pathways. 49 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:03.560 Right. 50 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.000 So, number one, where the inheritance is not enforced, the 51 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:14.479 enemy enforces his will on it. Number two, when the 52 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:21.800 rightful errors do not contend, the enemy will occupy. Number three, 53 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:27.680 when the believer moves in confidence, God makes a place 54 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:34.199 for us in the inheritance. That's all three, right, So 55 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.840 I want you guys to think about those things. As 56 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.000 we are teaching and learning about all of these different 57 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.319 ancient pathways. There is going to be resistance, but I 58 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.360 want you to agree right now with me that we 59 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.960 do not permit discouragement, We do not permit contention, We 60 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.240 do not permit fear right or spiritual sleepiness to keep 61 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.439 us from our inheritance. 62 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.280 Amen. Amen, let's move on to the title for today. 63 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.439 While we travel the ancient pathways, it's the anointing and 64 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.560 laying on of hands. These are huge topics for us 65 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:11.479 right as believers, and so I want to get right 66 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.599 into this. Let's begin with this, Lord help me out, 67 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:16.839 say Lord, help Frank. 68 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:19.680 The origin of oil. 69 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:21.920 Many think the origin of oil is the holy anointing 70 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.519 oil that is mentioned in Exodus and Leviticus. However, I 71 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.000 found in Genesis twenty eight, verse ten through twenty two. 72 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.519 It says here it is now Jacob. Verse ten says 73 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.079 now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went towards Haran. 74 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.319 So he came to a certain place and stayed there 75 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.879 all night because the sun had set. And he took 76 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.199 one of the stones of that place and put it 77 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:44.160 on his head. 78 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.600 And he lay down in that place. 79 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.639 Then he dreamed, and behold, the latter was set up 80 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.399 on the earth, and its top reached heaven. And there 81 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.759 the angels of God were ascending and descending. And behold 82 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.800 the Lord stood above it and said, I am the 83 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.160 Lord God, God of Abraham. 84 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:02.199 Do you have that? 85 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:17.879 Yep, I'm the Lord God of Abraham, your father, and 86 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.079 the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie 87 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.639 I will give to you and your descendants. Also, your 88 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.319 descendants shall be as the dust of the earth. You 89 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.680 shall spread abroad to the west and to the east, 90 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.639 to the north and to the south, and in you 91 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.720 and your seed all the families of the earth. 92 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:38.279 Shall be blessed. 93 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.720 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever 94 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.399 you go, and will bring you back to this land, 95 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.879 for I will not leave you until I have done 96 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.240 what I have spoken to you. Then Jacob awoke from 97 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.040 his sleep and said, surely the Lord is in this place, 98 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.040 and I did not know it. And he was afraid, 99 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.319 and said, how awesome is this place. This is none 100 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.399 other than the House of God, and this is the 101 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:06.240 gate of heaven. Then Jacob rose early in the morning 102 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.560 and took the stone that he had put put at 103 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.800 his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured 104 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:19.480 oil on top of it. And he called the name 105 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.240 of that place Bethel, but the name of that city 106 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.199 had been lost previously. Then Jacob made a vow, saying, 107 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.319 if God will be with me and keep me in 108 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.040 the way that I am going, and give me bread 109 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.040 to eat and clothing to put on, so that I 110 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.800 come back to my father's house in peace, then the 111 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:44.000 Lord shall be my God, and this stone, which I 112 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.040 have set as a pillar, shall be God's house. 113 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.399 And of all that you give me, I. 114 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.240 Will surely give you a tenth to you. So this 115 00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:04.759 is an interesting interaction right. So the man goes and 116 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:10.560 sleeps in this place. God comes and interfaces with him, 117 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:11.639 like he interacts with him. 118 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.639 He's like, I'm gonna give you your inheritance. 119 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.399 I'm gonna give you the promise that I promised your 120 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:17.160 father Isaac. 121 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:20.519 Then the man. 122 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:27.920 Wakes up and his response is anoint the stone, anoint 123 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:37.279 the pillar. So he spreads oil over it, right, and 124 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:44.279 then the man makes a vow. Interestingly, though this morning, 125 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.279 you don't have this one. I don't think over there 126 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.680 at the I don't think you have it up for 127 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.360 the screen. But this is Genesis thirty one eleven thirteen. 128 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:55.879 Watch this. 129 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.600 Because I found out that oil changes things when it 130 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:07.279 touches it. Okay, in the Old Testament and in the 131 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.519 New Testament, it was used for healing purposes. Wherever there 132 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.639 was an open wound or an open sowred, they would 133 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.600 rub oil on it, right, they would anoint people with oil. 134 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:24.240 In more than anything, though it remains. I was researching 135 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.920 what olive oil would do to a rock, and it 136 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:34.440 completely changes the rock's surface forever. Like it doesn't evaporate, 137 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.000 It goes into the rock and it changes the color 138 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.480 of that rock forever. So that stone stayed like that 139 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.519 verse chapter thirty one of Genesis, verse eleven and thirteen. 140 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:52.240 Check this out. 141 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.039 Then the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, Jacob, 142 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:04.039 this is long after that interaction, okay. And I said, 143 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.679 here I am, And he said, lift your eyes now 144 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.639 and see all the rams which leap on the flocks 145 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.559 are streaked, speckled, and grayish gray spotted. For I have 146 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:21.200 seen all that Laban is doing to you. I am 147 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:27.120 the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar, and 148 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:31.440 where you made a vow to me. Now arise, get 149 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.759 out of this land and return to the land of 150 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:34.399 your family. 151 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:43.600 Was the oil important to the man or to God? Both? 152 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.879 So what we're looking at right there is that God 153 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.519 responded to him, and then he says at the at 154 00:09:55.679 --> 00:10:00.039 later on down the road, he reminds him, Hey, the 155 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:04.320 place that you put the oil on is where I 156 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.679 I'm recalling it to your memory again. So there's a 157 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.600 remembrance that happens not just to man, but to God. Right, 158 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.840 he honors the fact that there was a point of 159 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:19.480 contact with the oil and the pillar. He remembers our 160 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:21.559 response to his word. 161 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.279 And so this is what today is about for us. 162 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.720 Is that I want us to remember the response, but 163 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.480 I want you to know that God is a faithful 164 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:42.799 God who remembers your response to him. So in Genesis 165 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:47.320 it's used for marking right where he takes a vow. 166 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.000 It's used for consecration in the Old Testament to set apart. 167 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.720 It's used for ordination, to set a purpose. It's used 168 00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:59.440 for identification as one being holy. 169 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.600 This is what the oil's about. 170 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.240 In the New Testament, we see that the Apostles in 171 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:16.279 Mark six thirteen, the apostles anointed people with oil. It 172 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.840 says in Mark six thirteen, and they cast out many 173 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.879 demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and 174 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:30.240 healed them. 175 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.279 Let's go to the laying on of hands. 176 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.159 The hands are one of two parts that you actually 177 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.679 see on God the Father, because it says that no 178 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.679 man may see him lest they die. But he showed 179 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.440 Moses his back and the finger from which he wrote 180 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:53.440 on the tablets. So the hands are pretty important for us. Also, 181 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.559 the hands are the central form of feeling for the 182 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.120 human body. A person could read by using their hands. 183 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:08.360 It's the only part that we use to communicate community 184 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.279 like this, Give me a hand, let me give you 185 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.159 a hand with that right. It's also the part that 186 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.879 you can show one person honor right by shaking their 187 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.879 hand right, or display aggression right, like that you know. 188 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.200 We're going to fight, right? Or what do they say? 189 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.200 Sometimes show me your hands right when they want to 190 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:34.360 see that you're at peace. 191 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:36.759 So what do you do? You just show your hands right. 192 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.240 The other part is like when you applaud, that means 193 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.159 you agree with what's being said or being communicated. Right, 194 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.200 So that's agreement. But let's talk spiritually about it. 195 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:49.519 You guys. 196 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.080 Remember Ivan Roman, he was here during the summit. He said, 197 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.159 the laying on of hand is not just a random 198 00:12:55.399 --> 00:13:02.039 church tradition. It's transference, it's activation. It's a biblical principle 199 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.519 back by Heaven. When you understand what's happening, you stop 200 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:12.759 being timid and you start moving with purpose. Before the 201 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:17.320 apostles look at some ways in the Old Testament that 202 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.759 the lay in hands is applied. During the time of 203 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:26.039 Moses numbers twenty seven eighteen, and the Lord said to Moses, 204 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.440 take Joshua, the son of None with you, a man 205 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.879 in whom is the spirit, and lay your hands on him. 206 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.519 Set him before Eliezer, the priests, and before all the congregation, 207 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:40.440 and inaugurate him in their sight. And you shall give 208 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:44.000 some of your authority to him, that the congregation of 209 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.759 the children of Israel may be obedient. He shall stand 210 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.440 before Eliezer, the priest, who shall inquire before the. 211 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.440 Lord for him, by the judgment of the Urine. 212 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.559 At his word, they shall go out, And that is word, 213 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.559 they shall come in he and all the children of 214 00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.960 Israel with him, all the congregations. So Moses did as 215 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.639 the Lord commanded. He took Joshua, set him before Alias 216 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.080 or the priest, and before the congregation, and he laid 217 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.200 his hands on him and inaugurated him, just as the 218 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.399 Lord commanded, by the hand of Moses, already having the spirit, 219 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.799 he then inaugurates and ordains him in public. 220 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.039 Moses gives him some of his. 221 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:23.519 Authority through the lane on of hands. 222 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:25.840 A place of contact, right. 223 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.720 I just talked about a place of contact with the oil, 224 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.960 same thing with the hands, a place of contact, right. 225 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:36.399 And God moves in power through that. He honors through 226 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.799 faith what you and I are doing. If we're touching 227 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.399 and agreeing on something right, all right. 228 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:44.440 So if we. 229 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.679 Look further back in Genesis, forty eight fourteen. It says, 230 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.279 then Israel stretched out his right hand laid it on 231 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.320 Ephraim's head, who was the younger, in his left hand 232 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.840 on the on Manessa's head, guiding his hand knowingly, for 233 00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.360 Manessa was the firstborn. 234 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.360 So Israel blesses Joseph through. 235 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.519 The laying on of hands on his two sons, Ephraim 236 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:09.840 and Vanessa. So he said, those will be my sons 237 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:14.159 now right, and so he blesses him. Blessing can be 238 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:19.320 a fourth telling. Blessing can be prophetically calling things that 239 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.440 aren't as though they will be right, and having full 240 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.840 faith in what you're doing, to bless. 241 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:27.720 Someone through the hands through touch. 242 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.360 In the New Testament, the laying on of him. The 243 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.840 laying on of hands was commonly during the time of 244 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.639 Jesus for healing any type of sickness or disease. 245 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.519 Okay, Mark sixteen. 246 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.720 Eighteen tells us that we will lay hands on the sick, 247 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:52.600 they will recover. Okay, here's where the two combine, Mark 248 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:58.639 six thirteen. Mark six thirteen says, and they cast out 249 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.559 many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick, 250 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:09.679 and healed them. Sometimes we like read things too fast, 251 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:13.559 right but like you slow down and you take a 252 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:17.080 look at how oil worked all the way from the 253 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.320 beginning to the very. 254 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:23.039 End and through the New Testament. 255 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:30.320 Now, somebody might argue that that was Old Testament still 256 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:40.320 because Jesus had him been crucified. However, we'll we'll go 257 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.159 through that later. It's James five, okay, but I'll go 258 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:46.200 I'll hit that one too. 259 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:47.919 Let's see. 260 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.600 I want to show you more examples of what the 261 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:50.679 lane on the hands does. 262 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.840 Though. Okay, is that good? Is that okay? All right? 263 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:55.240 Because I want us to really get this. 264 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.720 In Acts eight seventeen, it shows us that the apostles 265 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.680 laid hands for the transference of power. It says in 266 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.200 verse seventeen, they laid hands on them, and they received 267 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:13.680 the Holy Spirit through the laying on of hands. Watch 268 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:20.039 this in Acts nine seventeen through eighteen. And Anonius went 269 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:24.000 his way and entered the house, and laying his hands 270 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.440 on him, he said, brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who 271 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.200 appeared to you on the road as you came, has 272 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:32.920 sent me to you that you may receive your sight 273 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.039 and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Immediately there fell 274 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.960 from his eyes something like scales, and he received his 275 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:45.119 sight at once, and he arose and was baptized Hallelujah right. 276 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.039 Acts nineteen one through six. 277 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.359 And it happened while Paulo's was at Corinth, that Paul, 278 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.559 having passed through the upper regions, came to Emphesus, and 279 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:58.759 finding some disciples, he said to them, did. 280 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:00.640 You receive the Holy Spirit when you? So? 281 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.279 They said to him, we have not so much as 282 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:05.599 heard of whether the Holy whether there is a Holy Spirit. 283 00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.599 And he said to them, into what then were you baptized? 284 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.359 So they said, into John's baptism. Then Paul said, John 285 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.720 indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the 286 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.240 people that they should believe on him who would come 287 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:21.880 after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. Right when they 288 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.920 heard this, they were baptized in the name of the 289 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:28.319 Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands on them, 290 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:34.519 the Holy Spirit came upon them and spoke with tongues 291 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:41.400 and prophesied. In the New Testament we begin to see 292 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.039 a deeper, a deeper how oil was used in unity 293 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.599 with smearing on with the hands and the laying on 294 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:51.599 the hands with power James five fourteen through fifteen is 295 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.599 anyone among you sick, let him call for the elders 296 00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.480 of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing 297 00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:59.279 him with oil in the name of the Lord. And 298 00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.160 the prayer of faith will say the sick, and the 299 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.240 Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sin, 300 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.799 he will be forgiven. Here's another example of how to 301 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:14.880 use the hands on Timothy four to fourteen. Do not 302 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.319 neglect the gift that is in you, which was given 303 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:23.200 to you by prophecy. With the laying on of hands 304 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:31.519 of the eldership, there is a transference of Holy Spirit, gift, thing, 305 00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:40.440 and empowerment through the laying on of hands. Or roberts 306 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:45.720 One said, I do not lay hands suddenly on anyone. 307 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:49.880 He got that from Fir Timothy five twenty two. In 308 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.279 context here it says, do not lay hands on anyone hastily, 309 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:57.880 nor share in other people's sin, keeping yourself pure. In 310 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:01.359 other words, we're not talking about ordination, right. I don't 311 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:04.200 want I don't want us to get confused, because in context. 312 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:04.759 That's about ordination. 313 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.920 That's about laying your hands on somebody to transfer to 314 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:13.960 them authority right in order that they may become a pastor, elder, leader, 315 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.799 in the church right, and so don't be too hasty 316 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:19.400 to do that. He said, what I do is I 317 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.759 build expectation in them before I touched them. I'll show 318 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.480 you an example of that, because I have to. I 319 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.599 have to be able to understand what the man was saying. Right, 320 00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.359 And so I grabbed a portion of the Bible, and 321 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:34.319 Acts three one through seven. It says now Peter and 322 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:36.640 John went up together to the temple at the hour 323 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.720 of prayer the ninth hour, and a certain man, laying 324 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.200 from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily 325 00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:45.400 at the gate of the temple, which was called Beautiful, 326 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.400 to ask alms from those who enter the temple, who 327 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:51.920 seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, 328 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.240 ask for alms, and fixing his eyes on him with John, 329 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:03.319 Peter said, look at us. So he gave them his attention, 330 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.319 expecting to receive something from them. 331 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.279 Then Peter said, silver and gold I do not have. 332 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:16.119 But what I do have I give you in the 333 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.039 name of Jesus Christ from Nazareth. 334 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:19.960 Rise up and walk. 335 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:23.119 And he took him by the right hand and lifted 336 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.240 him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones. 337 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:38.039 Received strength perfect timing. He got their attention right. 338 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:48.200 He set an expectation, he executed and then got results. 339 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.039 What all Roberts was saying was profound. He said, I 340 00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.799 don't pray for them when they come up for prayer. 341 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:01.960 I have already prayed before I showed up. 342 00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:02.839 Today. 343 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.759 We believe in the horizon the practice of the Word 344 00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:14.920 Acts sixty four. But we will give ourselves continually to 345 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:21.599 prayer and to the ministry of the Word. I want 346 00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:25.880 to invite up the pastors and the elders. 347 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:28.519 To please join me in the front. 348 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:39.160 So there's a transference of power that happens from one 349 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:43.559 to another today. Maybe the Lord was speaking to you 350 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:52.799 during the during the day, maybe during the message he's 351 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.759 been speaking to you. This is how we activate James 352 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:08.400 five fourteen. This is how we activate that verse for 353 00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.759 Timothy by the prophecy and the laying on the hands 354 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:12.240 of the elder. 355 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:12.480 Shit. 356 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:16.559 If you feel like the Lord is calling you up, 357 00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:20.680 he's encouraging you, and he's inviting you forward for healing, 358 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:28.880 He's inviting you forward for gifts. Maybe he has a 359 00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:30.359 special word to give to you. 360 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:35.240 I want us to put these. 361 00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:40.559 Things into practice here. I want to invite the worship 362 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:51.920 team up to. We're not talking about ordination right now 363 00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.039 unless the Lord puts it on them or something like 364 00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:58.559 where it's like, oh, I feel like the Lord is 365 00:23:58.599 --> 00:23:59.400 telling me that you're this. 366 00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:02.680 You know, like, we're not talking about an ordination. 367 00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:05.440 We do special ordinations for all that kind of a thing, 368 00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:08.319 right but I wanted to give you examples of what 369 00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.319 it's applied to. 370 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:11.039 It's very real. 371 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:14.319 You are called a king and a priest unto the Lord. 372 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:18.880 And so if you feel like the Lord is calling 373 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.799 you up, let's just pray. Father, this is for me. 374 00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:28.400 Everybody across the room, just pray. Seek the Lord, Holy Spirit, 375 00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:39.079 Holy Spirit. 376 00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:44.240 Come. I thank you Lord that you're here in this place. 377 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:53.400 I thank you God that you're a good father and 378 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.319 you give good gifts to your children.

Lord, we've been fasting and praying and seeking 381 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.680 your power, God and your presence. I thank you for 382 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.960 your presence even right now. 383 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:12.319 And Jesus. 384 00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:24.200 We've already prayed for you. The Lord may touch you 385 00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:33.200 when you come up here with power from on high. 386 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:36.079 I want the ministry team to be ready, please, to 387 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:38.640 assist the elders and the pastors and the leaders up here. 388 00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:41.400 And at this time, I want to ask you that 389 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:43.319 if that's you, if that's you, you felt like the 390 00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:45.599 Lord is calling you to come forward and receive prayer. 391 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.119 Maybe it's a baptism of the Holy Spirit. Maybe it's 392 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.440 a fresh outpouring in your life. Maybe you've been feeling 393 00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.000 a little bit a drive.
