Watch “The Hand of the Lord” Jentezen Franklin, host of Kingdom Connection & Pastor of Free Chapel. www.jentezenfranklin.org

the following program is sponsored by

friends and partners of Kingdom

connection

Jerusalem one of the oldest cities in

the world considered holy by three major

religions this city where Jesus walked

Tod was crucified buried and rose again

was the origin that started a movement

2,000 years ago and that spark a revival

continues today through the celebration

Center a new building project that will

be in the heart of Jerusalem a safe and

secure place to worship for new

messianic multicultural communities

imagine the name of Jesus returning to

the nation of Israel and really that’s

ultimately what this is about that the

people of God will come into a fuller

revelation of who their Messiah is and

come into that place where they worship

and we’re calling this the celebration

center for a reason because this is a

place of worship in that city the

prophecies are being fulfilled through

ministries like this and and I want to

be a part of that revival I believe that

there is a blessing that comes on people

when they begin to partner and bless the

nation of Israel let’s spark revival and

see an outpouring of the Holy Spirit as

we support the celebration center in

Jerusalem

I want you to have a clear understanding

of the power and faith I want your faith

to get up concerning the power in the

Ministry of laying on of hands why is it

so important is it just people touching

and there’s nothing to it the answer to

that question is absolutely not

the Word of God is powerful in its

instruction concerning laying on of

hands look in the book of Acts chapter

11 and verse 21 Acts 11 in verse 21 and

the hand of the Lord everybody say the

hand of the Lord the hand of the Lord

was with them and a great number believe

notice a great number a great number

believed and turned to the Lord the hand

of the Lord was with them and a great

number everybody said get ready for

great numbers get ready for increase

because the hand of the Lord is with you

the hand of the Lord was with them and a

great number turned and believed what a

strange phrase the hand of the Lord why

didn’t it say the Lord was with them why

did he say the hand of the Lord was with

him and I began to find this phrase over

and over and over in the scripture acts

13 there was a there was a Simon the

sorcerer who dealt in black arts in

witchcraft and he had the whole region

under his fear and intimidation spells

and acts chapter 13 and verse 11 one of

the Apostles goes in and he says and now

behold he pronounces this judgment over

this over this which he says now behold

the hand of the Lord is upon you and you

shall be blind for a season and

immediately he was blind and seeking

someone to lead him by the hand the hand

of the Lord shall come upon you it’s

what the apostle said the hand of the

Lord you know when I when I was growing

up and we had big problems and things

that were too great and too difficult

for us to solve the old-timers would

have a phrase they would say let’s just

put it in the hands of God

and there’s more to that probably than

even they realize in Exodus chapter 3

God said I will

reach out my hand and that’s something

I’ll stretch out my hand and smite the

Egyptians and afterward I’ll give you

favor with his people and you will not

come out empty God said three things he

said the hand of the Lord will be used

to come against your enemies

number two the hand of the Lord will

come against them with judgment and

number three when the hand of the Lord

is released into the battle that you’re

in Israel will be compensated for the

things that have been stolen from them

in Exodus chapter 13 in verse 3 he said

remember that they the Lord brought you

out of the land of bondage by the

strength of the hand of the Lord it was

the hand of the Lord that brought you

out the there is something called the t

fillin which the Jews used the rabbi’s

use it’s a little box and if you ever go

to Israel and you go to the Wailing Wall

you will see the priests with a t

filling and it’s a little box that they

tie to the top of their head between

their eyes at the instruction of the

scripture and they tie around their hand

and have it a little box on their hand

it contains the commandments of the Old

Testament and they will go and they will

pray and they’ll have that on their hand

and on their forehead to this day and in

verse 14 of Exodus 13 it says and when

your sons ask what does this mean you

shall say by a strong hand God has

brought us out of the land of bondage

you said when when in generations to

come when they see that little box that

is tied to your hand and they say what

does that mean you will teach generation

after generation that with notice the

wording with a strong hand God brought

us out of bondage in Exodus 15 and 6 thy

right hand has become glorious and power

it will – two pieces the enemy in

numbers chapter 11 and verse 23 God

asked Moses is my hand

waxed short it’s a question that we need

to ask today as we begin to lay hands on

people has God’s hand wax short that he

can’t do miracles anymore that he can’t

provide anymore that he can’t bless

anymore

God told Moses that in a time when he

had a fresh challenge he said do you

think the same God who brought you out

with a high hand now that you’re in the

wilderness and you don’t have food and

you don’t have anything to drink do you

think my hand has waxed short and God is

saying to every person under the sound

of my voice do you think my hand has wax

short that I can’t heal cancer that I

can’t heal I can’t set your children

free from drugs that I can’t deliver you

today from alcohol do you think my hand

is so short that it can’t provide a

house a car or anything else that you

need that I have supplied already do you

really think I’m that weak that my hand

is so short that my blessings can’t

reach you the hand of the Lord was

against the Philistines for Samuel 7 and

13 everybody shout the hand of the Lord

notice this first Samuel chapter 7 and

verse 13 the hand of the Lord was

against the Philistines all the days of

Samuel in other words all the days of

Samuel because he was a praying and a

fasting man over and over he fasted his

prayed his mother fasted when she

brought him when she was praying to have

a baby she fasted and God gave her a

baby because she was on a fast and now

now that fasting in that prayer has so

come back in his life that the Bible

said all the days of Samuels life the

hand of the Lord was against the

Philistines and I’m praying that that is

God held back the Flis things all the

days that God would hold back the

enemies of America the terrorists and

those who would want to hurt our

soldiers our men and women that are in

harm’s way could everything in his hands

remember his hand in Psalm 78 and verse

41 they tempted God they turned back

listen to these words they remembered

not his hand and that’s something what

strange wording they remembered not his

hand you know how many of you remember

how God has by his hand provided when

you started with almost nothing and look

how God’s hand don’t forget his hand

don’t forget in a fresh challenge how

his hand I love that song great is thy

faithfulness all I have needed

thy hand hath provided remember his hand

remember his hand do not forget his hand

in the prayer of Jabez 1st chronicles

chapter 4 let’s pray it together oh that

you would bless me indeed number one and

enlarge my territory number two and that

your hand would be with me number three

and that you would keep me from evil so

God granted him his request notice that

one out of four of those prayer requests

that God honored was when he said let

your hand be upon me in the middle of

expansion and increase get the hand of

the Lord there acts eleven said the hand

of the Lord was with them and the people

multiplied this is the year of increase

and things will multiply because the

hand of the Lord is with you

in Isaiah 45 in verse 11 he said ask of

me things concerning my sons and my

daughters and concerning the work of my

hands command ye me concerning the work

of my hands God said you command me I

look that word up command and it means

to Commission God said I give you the

right to Commission the work of my hands

God said I want you to ask me boldly and

put things in my hands I want you to

expect I don’t want you to carry those

problems but listen to me carefully in a

moment when we pray for you at every

campus I want you to assign some

problems to his hands target some areas

of your life and put them in his hands I

want you to put that struggle that

business that marriage that teenager

that situation that financial dilemma

put it in his hands God today God today

wants every parent to put your children

as hands are laid on you you are

transferring from your hands to his

hands everybody take your hands and do

like this and I want you to put all your

problems in there put all your problems

in there

anything that’s big in your mind and now

I want you to let go of it and put it

God’s hands whoever your children are

dating if you don’t like them and you

feel like they trying to miss your

children uh put them in the hands of the

Lord Acts chapter 4 and verse 29 behold

their threats and grant to your servants

all boldness to speak that by stretching

forth your hand to heal signs and

wonders would be done by the Holy Child

Jesus you understand we are the body of

Christ now and when we in his name

stretch forth iron hand we’re stretching

forth his hand through us to heal for

signs and wonders and miracles to happen

right in our church today in 1st Peter

chapter 4 humble yourself before the

mighty hand of God and in due season

that hand will exalt you take it out of

your hands and put it in God’s hands

that’s the key you know that this thing

of laying on of hands is so important

and so powerful that in the book of

Hebrews it talks about the foundations

of our faith you know the foundation of

your faith is important if the

foundation of your house is not right it

doesn’t matter what else is built on and

he talks about the doctrines and he says

there’s the doctrine of baptism the

doctrine of eternal judgment there’s

other doctrines that’s talked about the

doctrine of the second coming of Jesus

Christ is talked about there and then

there is the doctrine of the laying on

of hands how sad it is that many modern

churches have completely ignored laying

on of hands they don’t do it they don’t

believe in it they don’t even ever pray

for the sick or pray for anybody through

the laying on of hands and yet the Bible

said the Bible said that it is a

foundation a foundation in the church

that must be carried on from generation

to generation

ibaka three puts it this way his

brightness was his life and he had horns

of light coming out of his hand and

there was the hiding of his power notice

that God’s power is hidden in God’s

hands and that’s why mark chapter 16 he

says Commission the hand of the Lord

command you me concerning the hands of

the work of my hands and in my name

these signs shall follow them that

believe they shall lay hands upon the

sick and they shall recover

we’re placing it in God’s hands the

moment we touch you ask from him to

multiply and increase your finances take

if the enemy tries to come at you you

are to hold your hand up and say talk to

the hand devil the face ain’t listening

and I came by the mighty hand of God the

hand of the Lord is with me the hand of

the Lord be upon this church the Bible

said in Acts chapter 5 by the hands of

the Apostles were many signs and wonders

done and there’s something about hands

being laid on you that God uses it as a

point of contact today we are going to

Commission the hand of God upon your

life upon your family upon your health

upon your business upon your you to be

supernaturally multiplied and increased

place it all in God’s hands the hand of

God will be on you and you’ll be too

blessed to be stressed you will see the

goodness and the favor of the Lord I’m

believing for that it’s interesting that

Jesus hands were nailed pierced as part

of the crucifixion therefore when his

hands come in and are placed in the hand

of the Lord is on you it says to the

enemies the Covenant is behind you

because the marks of the Covenant are in

his hands he will bless you he will keep

you he will protect you the hand of the

Lord will be upon you the angels of God

are going to be released today the power

of God is going to be released today

through God’s extended hand on your life

his hand has not waxed short well I feel

an urgency in my heart there will be

miracles in this room today

in numbers 27 in verse 18 Moses laid his

hands on Joshua God commanded Moses

publicly to lay his hands on Joshua to

catch this and the Moses generation laid

hands on the Joshua generation that’s

what I love about your children will

have hands laid on them by our pastors

in the children’s departments at every

campus they are taking the time to

anoint your children and lay hands and

bless them the word bless means to speak

well off to speak well off so when we

lay hands on you our spirit and our

heart is to speak well we speak well we

speak health we speak protection we

speak increase in success and joy the

will of God the plan of God the wisdom

of God we speak well of you that’s what

the word bless means to speak well it’s

a powerful thing when the older

generation the Moses generation lays

hands on the Joshua generation parents

dads moms lay hands on your children and

bless them and speak well of them you

shall be great you shall do amazing you

will succeed you shall lead the hand of

the Lord shall be upon you speak we’re

in Deuteronomy 24 and verse 9 and Joshua

the son of nun this is after Moses was

dead was full of the spirit of wisdom

for Moses had laid his hands upon him

and the children of Israel hearken unto

Him just like they did Moses in Genesis

48 old man Jacob is dying the grandpa

and he brings his grandchildren in

ephraim and manasseh and he lays his

hands on them and he does it willingly

wittingly the Bible said meaning being

led and he blessed them and spoke well

of them notice everybody look at your

hands the ability to affect future

generations is in your hands he blessed

and spoke a blessing on his

grandchildren and they became exactly

what God told him they would become

exactly in Acts chapter 8 they laid

their hands on them and they received

the Holy Ghost in acts 19 in verse 6 and

when Paul had laid his hands on

them the Holy Ghost came on them and

they spoke with tongues and prophesied

that can happen to you this morning when

hands are laid on you the Bible said the

gifts and the calling of God are without

repentance God never calls you notice

they’re coupled together gifts and

calling gifts and calling gifts and

calling and notice notice that God never

calls you to do something unless he

gives you the gift to accomplish it so

if you’re not gifted in an area you’re

not called to do that well pastor I just

feel like God’s calling me to sing if

you’re not gifted in the area acts 9 and

verse 17 Ananias laid his hands on Paul

and he received the gift of the Holy

Ghost Paul said in Romans 1 in 11 I long

to see that I might see you that I might

impart to you a spiritual guilt do you

know that when we lay hands on you

according to that Scripture we can lay

hands on you and impart spiritual help

in the weaknesses of your life that’s

why Paul said stir up the gifts that are

in people through the laying on of hands

we’re going to do that this morning

we’re going to anoint you acts 13

separate Saul and Barnabas for the work

that I call them and they laid their

hands upon them and sent them forth

there will be people who will be sent

forth with a fresh anointing when we

leave this place you are great you do me

recall so great there is no one else

like you there is no one else like you

upon you how many of you ready today to

say Lord I’m taking it out of my hands

asks Moses when he had a fresh new need

he said is my hand wax short do you

think my hand is too short to reach you

of your knee he’s great Church

seasons and times that that the Bible

talks about is that it’s the time it’s
