LESSON  104-A:   LAYING ON OF HANDS - an act of Imparting to another person
 
I. A form of communication, "reach out and touch someone" - Hebrews 6:1.
 
   A. Touch is a way to bestow comfort, sympathy, encouragement, love and to express
        feelings, including anger & intimidation.
 
        1. Touch with the hand shows affection or some other disposition between two or
            more people.
 
            a. Touch can communicate when words are not adequate.
 
    B. The desire to touch is also a method of identifying with who or what is the object of affection or expression,
           (be it person, animal or item).
 
          1. Touch is usually stimulated by emotion.
 
              a. Emotion is an outward response to an inward stimulus.
 
              b. Being stimulated inwardly, one then chooses to identify with the person or object resulting in the desire
                   to touch or embrace.
 
          2. Since emotions can be stimulated both positively and negatively, self control must be exercised in the                             purpose of the touch.
 
               a. Never use your hand to spank or slap a child.
 
                    i. The rod is for that purpose - Proverbs 23:12-14.
 
               b.  A child should not fear your hand or touch.
 
                     i. He should fear the rod, the symbol of correction
 
               c.  A child should have a positive experience regarding the touch of your hand.
 
     C. Touch can transmit spiritual and moral encouragement as well as strength.
 
         1. Touch can be generated by either the giver or theÿ receiver - Mark 5:25-30.
 
             a. A touch should impart a virtue of some sort.
 
                 i. Healing, comfort, sympathy, encouragement, strength, affection, blessing or a spiritual gifting.
 
     D. WARNING - Evil can also be imparted by laying on of hands. 
 
          1. Curses, demonic oppression, or whatever the one who lays hands on you has to give.
 
          2. So beware who lays hands on you and for what purpose.
 
              a. You may receive what spirit is operating or motivating them if they are under such influence.
 
II. LAYING ON HANDS AS A MINISTRY OF TOUCH WHICH IMPARTS SOMETHING SPECIAL
 
NOTE: The purpose is to transmit a particular type of benevolence or operation of God from one person, acting as authority, representative or intercessor of the Lord, to another person who is seeking or in need.  This touch is not stimulated by emotion, but by direction of the Holy Spirit.
 
     A. For blessing, to convey happiness and benevolence.
 
          1. Desiring all goodness for the one touched, Matt. 19:13-15.
 
     B. For healing.
 
          1. Christ our example - Mark 6:5.
 
          2. His servants, apostles, etc. - Luke 9:1-2 & Acts 5:12.
 
          3. Believers other than the apostles - Luke 10:1-2, 9.
 
              a. All who will believe - Mark 16:17-18.
 
     C. For imparting what you have to give.
     
          1. You must possess what you wish to impart, (you can't give what you haven't got) – Acts 3:1-8.
 
           a. To convey sin to the sacrifice - Leviticus 16:20-22
 
           b. To bestow anointing for a position - Numbers 27:18-23 and Deuteronomy 34:9.
 
           c. Imparting the Baptism in the Holy Spirit - Acts 8:15-18;  9:17 and  19:6.
 
           d. To impart Gifts of the Spirit - 1 Timothy 4:14 and  2 Timothy 1:6.
 
           e. To bestow divine providence - Genesis 48:14-20.
 
               i. Only when led of God to do so.
 
           f. For miracles, signs and wonders - Acts 5:12.
 
    D. To commission others to service - Numbers 8:10 & 27:23.
 
          1. Do not be hasty to commission  - 1 Timothy 5:22.
 
              a. This refers to ordaining to ministry.
 
              b. Prove a person's ministry first because you are responsible for him.
 
                  i. If he causes problems, it was you who set him in position to do so, and you can take credit.
 
                 ii. If he does well, it was you who set him in position to do so, and you can take credit.
 
III. GIVE TO OTHERS WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU BY HIS SPIRIT - Ephesians 4:15-16 (you can give it to                       others)
 
      A. Love - benevolent action to meet the needs of others - 1 Corinthians 12:31 and  13:1, 13.
 
           1. Spiritual gifts and the Holy Spirit.
 
           2. Miraculous signs and wonders - Acts 4:29-30
 
      B. Bestowing, conveying or imparting by laying on of hands is not just a formality and words spoken.
 
           1. It is a "want to" of the heart that is directed and enabled by the Spirit of the Lord that resides within.
 
               a. It is from your WILL that impartation of what you have to give is brought forth to give.
 
               b. The WILL is also referred to in the Bible as the "heart"- the seat of your intentions and motives.
 
               c. The Spirit of the Lord directs your (self) WILL, your desire, your "I want" when you are yielded to Him.

   C. In response to obedient believers.
 
      1. Peter, raising Dorcus - Acts 9:36-40
 
      2. Paul, raising the young listener - Acts 20:9-12
 
II. WHAT IS RESURRECTION?
 
    A. Coming back to life of the material/physical body after death has occurred.
 
       1. At death the soul and spirit depart out of the body leaving it "lifeless" –
           James 2:27.
 
          a. The spirit is the God given life force which exercises the will and properties to
              "live" - Genesis 2:7.
 
          b. The soul is the personality, intellect and emotions which are located in the mind.
               (More on this later)
 
       2. When the soul and spirit re-enter the body it comes alive -  Kings 17:21.
 
          a. Breath of Life is the spirit (pneuma) from God - Genesis 2:7.
 
III. HOW ARE BODIES RESURRECTED?
 
   A. By the power of God - Romans 8:10-11
 
      1. Just like Jesus - Romans 6:5
 
   B. The same body that was buried, cremated or otherwise destroyed, will be revived.
 
      1. Same identity as before death, fully recognizable, and in normal healthy form –
          1 Corinthians 15:35-38, 42.
 
         a. As in the mature prime of life, since eternity has no time or space limitations.
 
            i. There is no such thing as age or its results.
 
      2. Raised in a spiritual body;  changed to immortality - 1 Corinthians 15:44-53.
 
         a. Jesus is an example - Luke 24:38-40.
 
            i. Phillipians 3:20-21
 
IV. WHO WILL BE RESURRECTED?
 
   A. Every person who ever lived - John 5:28
 
      1. The just and the unjust - Acts 24:15   (1 Cor. 15:22)
 
V. WHEN WILL "THE" RESURRECTION TAKE PLACE ?
 
    A. There are actually two primary resurrections yet to occur along with some secondary resurrections.
 
       1. The first resurrection is for a specific category of participants called the JUST – Revelation 20:4c & 6.
 
           a. Occurs at the last trumpet (the coming of Christ) - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17.
 
Note: Some speculate that only those who have matured and conformed to the image of Christ will be in this group as the "firstfruits" of the resurrection; they are also identified as the five wise virgins. These are proven qualified to rule and reign with Him for the 1000 years.  The rest of the dead have to wait.
 
       2. The second primary resurrection is for the DEAD.
 
           a. This occurs after the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth - Revelation 20:5.
 
    B. Secondary categories of future resurrections.
 
         1. The 144,000 of the tribes of Israel - Revelation 12:5 and Revelation 14:1-5.
 
         2. The martyred tribulation saints - Revelation 6:9-11 and Revelation 7:9-14.
 
         3. The two witnesses - Revelation 11:7-11.
 
IV. WHY WILL ALL PEOPLE BE RESURRECTED ? (covered in more detail in next section)
 
     A. To be judged - John 5:28-29.
 
          1. All are raised immortal to receive their eternal reward or consequences.
 
              a. Wicked - Revelation 20:11-13  &  Matthew 25:46.
 
         2. The soul and spirit of both the JUST and the UNJUST are immortal and go on forever in either case.

              a. For eternal reward for the saints.
 
              b. For eternal death (separation from God) for the wicked, called the second death – Revelation 21:8.
 
VII. WHERE DO THE RESURRECTED GO?
 
     A. The JUST go to be with the Lord - John 14:2-3 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. 
 
          1. To live eternally with Him - John 5:29.
 
          2. Ruling and serving with Him in His Kingdom - Rev. 20:4.
 
     B. The wicked, unsaved or unjust go into eternal separation.
 
          1. Cast out of God's presence which is to be in "outer darkness" - Matthew 25:30  and  22:13.
 
              a. God is light;  therefore, to be eternally separated from light is to be in total darkness, probably in another                     dimension. (More in lesson 110)
 
          2. Separation from God (light and life) is spiritual and eternal death;  the second death - Revelation 21:8 and
              Revelation 20:13-15.
 
              a. They are appointed to the same place as their leaders - Revelation 21:8 & 20:10.
 
                   i. Eternal torment and fire - Matthew 25:41.

LESSON  104-C  ETERNAL JUDGMENT – (This Is For Keeps)
 
I. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ETERNAL JUDGMENT?
 
   A. To determine the eternal destiny, reward or punishment each individual is to receive - Matthew 16:27.
 
        1. Every person will be judged by their spiritual "works" or "deeds" - Romans 2:1-6.
 
Note: Since their sins were cleansed by the blood of Jesus, there is no judgment for sinful behavior of the true believer whose sins have been confessed and repented of.  Also, a man's personal accomplishments do not carry any weight in this judgment.  He or she is judged on how they lived their lives as believers, for obedience and conforming to HIS will, and the work of the cross in their lives - Luke 9:23-26; and being led of the spirit -
Romans 8:1.
 
           a. Whether a person has elected to be judged for "his works rather than for faith and trust in Christ's work of                    the cross.
 
           b. For obedience to God, to His Word and to the leading of the Holy Spirit, and how he lived his life.
 
                i. For doing things God's way - the "gold, silver and precious stones; or doing things man's way – the                                 “wood, hay and stubble" - 1 Corinthians 3:12-15.
 
                ii. This includes how ministry is done - Matthew 7:21-24.
 
   B. Jesus, the Christ is the Judge - John 5:26-27.
 
        1. He is the only "JUST" judge - John 5:30.
 
            a. He is eminently qualified;  as a man who obeyed God and did not yield to temptation to sin.
 
            b. He knows the Word; He fulfilled the Word; He is the Word.
 
   C. The Word of God is the standard by which all are to be judged - John 12:48.
 
        1. This is why this gospel must be proclaimed around the world - Matthew 24:14.
