Ministry Notes: Why You Shouldn’t Let Just Anyone Lay Hands on You

Kenneth E. Hagin — Key Principles & Examples

⸻

1. Principle: Laying on of Hands Is a Point of Impartation
• Scripture teaches that laying on of hands is one of the elementary doctrines (Heb. 6:2).
• It is not symbolic only; it is a moment of spiritual transfer.
• Hagin emphasized that power, faith, gifts, or even wrong spirits can be transmitted.

Key Quote (paraphrased):

“Spiritual things are real. Something is imparted when hands are laid on you — for good or for bad.”

Pulled Out by the Strong Tree Ahead

On By Stace.ihsIn faithLeave a comment

Inspired by the Jeep Vision

The swamp had swallowed the Jeep one slow inch at a time.
What began as firm ground turned into soft earth, and what looked like a shallow stretch of water became a hidden bed of mud that clung like hands. Every foot forward took effort. Every turn of the tires stirred up more resistance. The deeper it went, the slower it moved. And finally… it sank.

Not all at once.
Not dramatically.
Just little by little… until the back end dipped and the Jeep could go no farther. Continue reading “Pulled Out by the Strong Tree Ahead” →

Daniel’s Faith = An Observation

📌1. Daniel’s Faith Was an “Observation”

In Daniel 10, the angel says,

“From the first day you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before God, your words were heard.”

From a quantum point of view, Daniel’s act of setting his heart—his focused observation of God’s will—began collapsing invisible resistance into a defined outcome. Continue reading “Daniel’s Faith = An Observation” →

(How to Remain Untouched in a Negative Spiritual Climate)

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”
— Isaiah 26:3

“My peace I give to you; not as the world gives.”
— John 14:27

The Invisible Atmosphere

Every environment carries a spiritual charge.
Words, thoughts, and emotions release energy — the same way sound waves travel through the air.
Science demonstrates that plants, water, and even cells respond to kindness or cruelty. The Bible said it first:

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” (Proverbs 18:21)

When the air around you feels heavy with complaint, anger, or accusation, it’s not just psychology — it’s a spiritual atmosphere. Continue reading “Thermostat Faith: Holding Peace in a Toxic Atmosphere” →

Ministry Ethics: Referencing Psychology with Care

Guidelines for Ministers Who Teach About Emotional and Mental Healing

1. Stay Within Your Scope of Competence

Speak confidently about the Word, pastoral experience, and Spirit-led insight — but recognize when a topic crosses into professional territory.

“I’m not a licensed counselor, but here’s the spiritual side of what we’re talking about.”

This humble clarity protects both minister and listener. Continue reading “Ministry Ethics: Referencing Psychology with Care” →

Gifts: Treasures of Your Heart Revealed

The Treasures Revealed

1 Corinthians 14:25 (NKJV)

“And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.”

When the Spirit of God truly moves among His people, hearts cannot remain hidden. The light of His presence reaches into the unseen corners of a person’s soul and gently exposes what lies within—whether pain that needs healing, sin that needs cleansing, or sincerity that needs affirmation.

Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 14:25 describe a moment when prophetic truth pierces the heart. The “secrets” (krypta) of a person’s inner life are made “manifest” (phaneráō). It’s not public humiliation—it’s holy illumination. In that light, the person realizes that God knows them completely. Nothing is hidden from His gaze, yet nothing is beyond His grace.

Longevity: Guarding Life with Words

Guarding Life with Your Words

“Whoever desires life and loves many days, that he may see good,
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.
Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.”
(Psalm 34:12–14 NKJV)

The psalmist gives us a simple but powerful formula for a long and good life: right speech, right actions, and a heart that pursues peace. Words are seeds, and the atmosphere we create with them either strengthens or shortens our days. Continue reading “Longevity: Guarding Life with Words” →
