Unlocking Supernatural Power | Week 2 | Laying on of Hands | Andrew Ling | June 11 2023

00:00 Theological Big Idea: Through your natural hands, comes supernatural power. There is a supernatural power that is released through believers when they, by faith, lay their hands on other believers and pray. 01:00 Today we’re talking about unlocking the supernatural power that is available to us all through God, because of Jesus Christ. In particular, we’re going to look at the laying on of hands accompanied with prayer in the Bible. 01:55 Hebrews 6:1-3 02:58 On a human level, we do this instinctively/naturally as humans… 04:12 When the laying of hands is applied intentionally with a reverence and awareness of God as a response to His instruction, the SUPERNATURAL IS UNLOCKED… 05:08 God wants to do this supernaturally in your life. 06:25 In baptism, natural water effects a spiritual cleansing (Acts 22:16) 07:14 In healing and blessing, oil serves as a sign of the work of the Holy Spirit. 07:30 When they are used according to God’s command and mixed with the faith of the believer, there is a supernatural result. 08:33 Matthew 8:1-3, Mark 16:17-18 10:44 Acts 9:17-18 11:50 Acts 19:1-6 12:37 For imparting spiritual gifts through prophecy 12:53 3 Timothy 1:6-7 13:17 Paul encourages Timothy to not be fearful… 13:41 Fear can hold you back from experiencing what God has for you. Fear can hold our church back if we allow it. 14:30 We do not have to shrink back! 14:50 MIRACLE WORKING POWER from GOD! 15:05 Luke 10:1, 9, 17 16:36 This is not for the spiritually elite. This is for ALL BELIEVERS. 16:49 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 18:12 1 John 1:9 18:22 He’s purified us! We’re made righteous because of the sacrifice of Jesus. 18:46 God takes these natural, flawed, beat up hands and allows them to be used to display His glory. 18:59 Remember, this is God’s power, His power IN US. 19:15 Charles Spurgeon refers to it as empty hands placed on empty heads… 19:30 What is holding us back? 19:40 Fear and pride… 20:35 God wants our hearts, and He will do the rest. Remember, this is SUPERNATURAL… we won’t be able to fully grasp it. 23:38 We get so stuck in our heads…. 25:40 Our God can save us! 25:29 Hebrews 10:39, 11:1 27:15 Faith in Jesus Christ is NOT a private matter… It’s a group exercise! 28:57 Personal Story… 34:00 Conclusion and action step…
