The practice of the laying on of hands is a doctrine with deep biblical roots and is regarded as a foundational principle in Christianity. It is a formal spiritual act in which one person places a hand on another for a specific, divinely appointed purpose.
The primary purpose of the laying on of hands is to acknowledge or transmit a spiritual blessing, gift, or authority from God through the one laying hands to the recipient. Therefore, the laying on of hands is an ordinance established by God and involves a supernatural exchange of spiritual resources. These spiritual resources are expected to manifest in the life of the recipient and possess the capacity to influence their character, circumstances, and future direction.
Even though the laying on of hands is ordained by God, this doctrine is heavily exploited by the devil, causing harm to believers and ministers. This book examines the lives and testimonies of Christians and church leaders who were negatively imparted. The book also provides a balanced approach to the laying on of hands, with the intention of making the process safe for both Christians and church leaders.
