[0:00] Hallelujah! We thank God you've tuned into this message by David Entry at Caris Church. No hand can help you with the fulfillment of your destiny but the Word of God. May God's hand align you further into your destiny through this Word.

[0:19] When hands are laid, something happens. People catch things. When Simon the sorcerer saw that the Holy Ghost was given by the laying on of hands.

[0:35] The Holy Ghost was given by the laying on of hands of the apostles or the laying on of the apostles' hands. He saw it. Wow! God has programmed his movements on earth that human beings can lay hands on some people and the Holy Ghost says, that's the means by which I'm going to come.

[0:56] Wow! Wow! But it's not every hand that when it's laid anything happens. You read the text. It said, When Simon the sorcerer saw verse 18 of Acts chapter 8.

[1:10] When Simon saw that through the laying on of... It's not every hand. I thought I would have gone laying hands.

[1:22] Nine hands doesn't guarantee anything. In certain people, certain individuals have been mandated from above to lay hands for heaven to move.

[1:37] Shana bak kahaya. The apostles said, verse 2, Acts chapter 6, It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables.

[2:01] It said, Therefore, look ye amongst you. And it says that, Amongst you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom.

[2:14] This is very interesting. Thank you, Jesus. Someone say thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom.

[2:25] Whom we, you choose them, but we will appoint them. But it takes an apostolic audacity to appoint people to do some things in the church.

[2:39] Whom we will appoint over this business. What's the criteria for those that you choose? What's the criteria? One.

[2:52] One. Honest report. Two. Three. One more time. One. Two. Three.

[3:04] One. Two. Three. One. One. Two. Two. Three. Three.

[3:16] One. Two. I'm trying to figure out those who didn't do well in GCSE Mass. And then we may appoint them on this business.

[3:33] The Bible says that. And then they said, Verse 4, And we, But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and the ministry, like what I'm doing now.

[3:45] Ministry of the Word. So the apostles, their job is prayer. They can do the tables, but it's not right. Others can do it. Because there are certain things that it takes an apostolic grace to do.

[4:00] Things like when, What's Simon the Socialist? It takes an apostolic grace to do. So it says that. What were the things the apostles were supposed to do?

[4:12] Huh? They will give themselves continually. So the prayer thing shouldn't stop. Continually. Apostles have to give themselves continually to prayer.

[4:24] He said, We will give ourselves continually to prayer. If you are ahead, Pastor, You have to give yourself continually to prayer. We will give ourselves continually to prayer. And what?

[4:37] And the ministry of the Word. So they tell this clearly. These are what we are supposed to do to advantage the church. But I realized that that's not all they were supposed to do.

[4:48] They had the ability to do. All they were supposed to do. There are other things that only apostles can do, Which others cannot do. It's not only these two things. The Bible says, The saying pleased.

[5:01] Pleased the multitude. Hey! The saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose these guys. And then when they chose these guys, Verse 6, I saw that the apostles could do something else no one could do.

[5:17] Not only prayer, Continual prayer, Or ministry of the Word. They also did something to the people that have been chosen. The apostles did something to them.

[5:33] Would you imagine That They said, When you choose these people, We will do something to them. They said, Whom we will appoint over this business.

[5:45] Verse 3, How are they going to appoint them? By laying their hands on them. When they laid their hands on them, They've introduced them into an office.

[5:57] One of the things I didn't say last Saturday, Was it Saturday I spoke about laying on off hands? One of the things I didn't say about laying on off hands, First Timothy chapter 1 verse 6 says, Wherefore, Let's read it out loud.

[6:11] Let's go. I knew some people would not read it. Let's go. Wherefore, I will be in repentance, That God's prayer of the gift of God, Which is indeed, By the living of all hands.

[6:24] One of the purposes, Which is embedded in this, For laying on, I'm about to drop something very, Those who are not here, I feel sorry for them.

[6:39] I'm about to drop something very big. One of the spiritual significance, Oh, I like that word, That phrase is better.

[6:49] Spiritual, Spiritual significance, For laying on off hands, Is buried in this text. And second Timothy, Sorry, First Timothy, Chapter 4 verse 14, Is still there, Talking about, How, The, Neglect not the gift, That is indeed, Which was given to thee, By the, By prophecy, With the laying on off hands, Of the, The, The gift was given to you, With the laying on off hands, By prophecy, The, The, The gift came, As they prophesied, And laid hands on you, Shodaba Haya, The gift came on to you, Prophecy would have been enough, So why the laying on off hands, Because in Leviticus chapter 1 verse 4, I didn't quote that one, That one, I don't think I've ever quoted it, You got to look at it, For the purposes of laying on off hands, Ah,

[7:51] I'm teaching on laying on off hands, Interesting isn't it, What does it say? Now, When you are, When you are sacrificing on, An event offering for your sins, Okay, So, You bring your lamb, That was the acceptable, System God put in place, Temporary, So Jesus came, So they will bring the lamb, You can't, I can't go to, Pastor Acobie's house, And take a lamb, And provide, I have to buy it, It must be mine, And then, The lamb, When I can't, I don't, At least you are the high priest, I don't just say, Oh, This is my lamb, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, If I am going to sacrifice the lamb, On my behalf, For my sins, I have to, Do something, I have to lay my hands, On the lamb, It's there, He,

[8:53] The one bringing, Shab, Put his hand, Upon the head, Of the, Upon, Not the shoulder, The head, Of the burnt offering, That's why, When hands are laid on the head, It's a different story, It's a different dimension, Lay, The hands, On the head, Of the, Bent offering, And it says, That once you do that, It shall be accepted, For you, To, To, So, It's like, Your sins, Is going to pay for your sins, For you, So now, When the lamb goes, It's not just a lamb that is gone, But it's, It's going to represent you, One of the significant, Spiritual significance, For laying on offense, Is, Identity, When we lay hands on you, We are identifying our grace with you,

[9:54] So that the grace, That has been permitted by heaven, To be operative here, As we lay hands on you here, As the hands are laid on you, We are saying that, We accept that this one is qualified, To be partaker of this grace, Oh, I feel like preaching, Oh, I feel like preaching, So you identify, With the one, Upon whom the hands are laid, We are, That is why, In 1 Timothy chapter 5 verse 22, It said, Don't be quick to lay hands on people, It said, Lay hands on no man, Suddenly, So you don't become partaker, Of somebody's sin, It's there in your bible, Isn't it?

[10:36] Yeah, Adam and see, Keep, Thyself pure, Ah, So, As I call you and lay my hands, It can contaminate me, Why? Because I'm putting my endorsement, The grace endorsement, On you, So sometimes, It bypasses who you are, And the grace on my behalf, Is oppressed, So when you oppress it, It's like, The one who endorses you, Is supposed to answer for why, He endorses you, Why?

[11:07] So when we come here, And we lay hands on you, It's like, We are authorizing you, To be partakers, Of the grace working here, By identifying with you, By saying that, This one I identify with is, It can flow in my grace, Whatever is working on my life, I am, When I lay hands, I'm identifying that, That can work in your life, There are things, That a person, Can carry, But has not yet, Materialized or manifested, So, I meet Bishop David Oyedepo, And he smiles on me, That's, I've caught something, Just the smile alone, I've caught, This is what is hurting, A lot of religious people, They don't understand these insights, A grace carrier smiles at me, Genuinely, Hey, I got something, Smiles at me,

[12:10] Say, David, How are you? And then, If he makes a mistake, And touches me, Affectionately, Touches me affectionately, Listen, What I'm trying to tell you, I've caught things, That haven't yet manifested, Oh yeah, But it's now in the DNA, My father was, My father was, Bored head, Not like mine, But, A bit, Yeah, Mine is more, Because of the hard water in London, Yeah, It's true, But, When I, When I was getting married, My hair was, Plenty like Tommy's, With curls, With curls, With curls, With curls, But you see, I had, In my DNA, The, Going of hair, But I hasn't materialized yet, Did you understand what I'm saying, Yeah, There are things, Because of my lineage, My inheritance, There are things,

[13:12] In my DNA, That has not materialized yet, I didn't know, Hair will grow, In my ears, But, As we grow, As we show up, It will come, Oh yes, Oh yes, So, There are things, That have been loaded, In my destiny, That have been manifested yet, Hasn't manifested yet, There are young, Ladies standing here, Who in future, Will be, The mother of twins, Amen, But it hasn't manifested yet, No one knows, But it's there, It's there, In your, The DNA of your destiny is there, This is what I'm trying to say, When I lay hands, On you, Even graces, That have not manifested yet, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen,

[14:12] Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Because it's there, Yeah, It's there, Again, When a man impregnates, A woman, The baby doesn't come, With beard, Some, Baby girls, When they are born, Their hair really, Does not even have hair, But sometimes, After some time, They didn't come with hair, But it's in their DNA, Because their mom, Or their dad, Is hairy, It has long hair, It's in their DNA, It's all with time, So sometimes, It might not have manifested, But the DNA, That has been loaded, Into your system, Oh, I see, Tamban, Catching something, So when, Hands are laid on you,

[15:12] Those hands, That are laid on you, Have, One, In spiritual significance, Is that, I lay my hands on you, I identify you, With an, As an authorized carrier, Of what I carry, That is why, Watch this, Can I draw attention, To something, Sit down, Sit down, You guys, I'm not teaching, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, In Acts chapter 6, Which I was talking about, In the verse 2, The apostles said, It is not desirable, That we should, Leave the word of God, And serve tables, That is what they said, What does that imply, That statement, That means, They knew how to serve tables, But at this level, They can do something, Others can do, They knew how to serve tables, However, Some people, Need to be appointed, To do the serving of the table,

[16:14] But for them to do it, Apostles said, We, Have to identify, The grace we carry, Upon them, For them to do this job, Did you understand that?

[16:25] Because, Even though they were chosen, They couldn't have done it, Effectively, Or, In line with God's, Dictates and demands, And purposes, If hands had not been laid on them, Why?

[16:38] Because to do ministry, It takes accepting grace, So when you come in courage, And as you are ministering in courage, And you are singing in courage, There is a grace you can catch, If you leave courage, It will shock you, It's still flowing, It's still flowing, The anointing you are operating under, It's the anointing, That belongs to the head pastor, In the house, Which I said, Anointing, Anointing is not in heaven, Anointing is on earth, In people, Yeah, Is that one, Oh, That's why, I don't joke with laying on of hands, The Lord, Led me, And inspired my heart, That these seasons of prayer, Almost every evening, There must be some laying on of hands, Yeah, Hence, We're laid on them, Don't neglect, The gifts of God, First Timothy 4, 14,

[17:38] Which is in you, By the laying, By prophecy, And the laying on, Of the hands, Of the presbytery, The presbytery, The eldership, They came together, They said, We endorse this person, Then they, Can you imagine when, Barnabas and Saul, Were sent, He said that, Then they lay, Verse 4, They laid their hands on them, Verse 3 actually, They laid their hands on them, And sent them forth, The three of them, These were, Authorized agents, Operating around that, But, Because the Holy Spirit, Spoke to them, They were, Where didn't Paul just go, No, There was a, Oh, Thank you Lord, There was a certain, Concentration of grace, In those meetings, All the rest, Combined their, Graces, And then, Dossed it on Paul and Silas, That he can go down, Yeah, They endorsed them, You think it was, Only Paul and Silas, Who were there, Verse 5 says,

[18:39] That they had, John Mark, As their assistant, So, John Mark, Was also around the corner, But this, He wasn't, He wasn't part, Of the team, So, When hands are being laid on you, You have to, Switch, You have to switch, And be aware, Something is happening, It facilitates, The transfer, Oh, Colin died, Many years ago, In 2001, In Bible school, He was teaching us, On laying on of hands, Great, A mighty apostle of God, Was teaching us, And, I asked a question, I've said it here before, That, So, What if someone lays hands on you, And the person who is laying hands, Who is laying hands, Is for spiritual transfers, The one who is laying hands on you, Let's say, Is a liar, He has, He's a thief, He has, You know, Character flaws, Spiritual flaws in his life, Is he not transferring that as well?

[19:41] Yes, And no, And that's where it gets scary, So, Those of you who have been following your mother, To the fireplace, To, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Your mother is not looking for God, She is looking for solution, There are two different things, When we come here, We are looking for God, Yes, But now your auntie, That is trying to kill all the demons, From her background, All the demons should die by fire, Die by fire, It is not evil, But they won't die anyway, It's not evil, But she is going for solutions, Solutions, And most people, Their focus is not looking for Christ, For Christ to be, For the spirit to fill them, For Christ to use them, They are just going to use, The atmosphere, Because they have been told,

[20:41] There is power there, You see, You need to understand, That when hands are laid on you, It's not only to cancel, Or counteract demonic activities, That too can be done, Especially when you are laying hands, To heal the sick, Jesus laid hands on the woman, And commanded the devil, Come out of him, So, Laying off us, Is such a wonderful thing, So, Colin, That said, If there's cracks, If they lay hands, And they have character, Spiritual flaws, They are likely, They can transfer it, But they can transfer it, If your spirits, If, See, If you are fornicating, And you go for them to pray for you, Ha!

[21:22] That one, Because there's crack, Around your life, It's different from, You've fornicated, And you've repented, You understand what I'm saying, You haven't repented, You are coming for a miracle, Meanwhile, The guy who is, So called prophet there, He, He, He, He's not clean, In the presence of God, He's not clean, So, By the time people leave the service, They have contracted, All kinds of spirits, Yeah, Are you getting what I'm saying, Yeah, That's why sometimes, There are prophets, But we have to be weary of people, Who quickly, Quickly call themselves prophets, I saw some churches, That might be, Christian by, Doctrine, But they don't care about, Christian doctrine, It's not, A lot of practices, That are going on, Telling people, Go and do fraud, And bring their money, To the church, And that, That is, That is, That, That kind of thing, Which is not, There might be Christians, Per se, But,

[22:23]  The oppression is, It's false, And it creates room, For demons to operate easily, That practice cannot be, Endosed, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You understand, You understand what I'm saying, Out of my belly, Shall flow, Thank you for listening, To this message, By David Entry, We pray you have been, Strengthened, And enlightened, You can connect, With David Entry, On all relevant, Social media platforms, Including Instagram, And LinkedIn, You can also hear, More messages, From David Entry, On all relevant, Streaming platforms, And the Caris Church app, Don't forget to like, And share the message, Be blessed, To this text, To this text, you
