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
