THE PRINCIPLES OF IMPARTATION -PART 3

THE PRINCIPLES OF IMPARTATION -PART 3

Scripture: 1 Timothy 5:22

Topic: The Principles of Impartation -Part 3

In this series of our Quiet Time we will study the diverse ways in which the mystery of impartation is activated as we interact with the Lords anointed and how we can receive the impartation of an anointing, a gift and a spiritual blessing from the anointed.

3.The mystery of impartation occurs when you touch the anointed. 

   

Physical contact will always be a point of transmission of something.  That is why you should not want to shake hands or hug everybody.  

   

"Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure."

1 Timothy 5:22

Unfortunately unbelievers seem to understand this more than Christians.  The touch of the anointed with his anointing is important.  

   

Touching will always be important in Christianity. It will never lose its importance.  Touching a person with faith becomes more than a greeting, more than an ordinary hug and more than a handshake.  The woman with the issue of blood is famous for having faith and touching the hem of Jesus’ garment. Through her faith in this great mystery of impartation, she received a powerful healing and was memorialised in scripture.  

   

"And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,  And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."

Mark 5:25-34

The touch is a foundation of our Christian faith.  It is called the doctrine of laying on of hands. No matter how high we go in God, we cannot leave the foundations of Christianity.  Christianity depends on having great faith in the doctrine of repentance, faith, baptism, resurrection, eternal judgment and laying on of hands.  

"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment."

Hebrews 6:1-2
