P. 219

The holy oil was anointed on the heads of those ‘to be

             priests,’ which were followed by ‘laying on of hands’. In the
             world of today, we perform the laying on of hands to ordain

             ministers. As it can be observed, the laying on of hands is an
             important process that cannot be dismissed. Likewise, the

             laying on of hands by the father in the household of faith is
             carried on.

               The blessings that come from the laying on of hands can
             only be received by those who value it. The application is

             similar to being redeemed by only believing in the Lord. As

             working. The laying on of hands can only be recognized as

             good, when it is per-formed or received through experience.
               Jesus, when imparting the power and authority to the

             disciples, probably utilized ‘laying on of hands,’ and the
             practice was common in Israel. Through this laying on of

             hands, the power invested within Jesus imparted in its purity
             to the disciples.

               The Holy Spirit commanded me to impart the anointing
             of the Holy Spirit through the lay-ing on of hands. That is

             why I perform the laying on of hands. During this process,
             I undergo many different experiences. Often, I can feel a





                                                                         219
