Of course, laying on of hands alone won't heal you. If it would, there would have been no need for God to lay our sicknesses and diseases on Jesus. The laying on of hands merely helps you release your faith in the Word of God.

Laying on of hands is one of the fundamental principles of the doctrine of Christ. Hebrews 6:1,2 says, "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. "

There is more to laying on of hands than its role in healing.

Leaders in the New Testament Church laid hands on men to ordain them into the ministry. They laid hands on the seven deacons appointed to serve tables. They also laid hands on believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit: "Then laid they [Peter and John] their hands on them [the Samaritans], and they received the Holy Ghost" (Acts 8:17).

In Paul's letter to the churches in Galatia, he said, "He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?" (Gal. 3:5). Of course, the answer was, "By the hearing of faith." Paul said that the miracles which occurred among them and the manifestations of the Holy Spirit were done by the hearing of faith.

The reason we are less successful in much of our laying on of hands is because we make a practice of it without the accompanying preaching and teaching of God's Word. Too often the laying on of hands becomes simply a form, ritual, or empty formality in our churches. We come, hands are laid upon us, but nothing happens.

We seem to have the idea that Jesus went around laying hands on everyone He met, but He didn't.

If we read the Bible carelessly, we probably think Jesus healed everyone who was sick everywhere, and whoever was within reach of Him anywhere automatically received healing.

This couldn't be true, however, because Peter and John went through the gate called Beautiful just a few days after Jesus had ascended, and a man crippled from birth lay there begging alms.

The Bible says he was carried there every day. It hadn't been too many days since Jesus Himself had walked through that gate.

If Jesus always healed everyone in Jerusalem and throughout the countryside, where did those sick people come from who were brought into the streets so that Peter's shadow might fall upon them? (Acts 5:15,16).

Once Jesus walked up to the pool of Bethesda, which had five porches, or sheds, around it, filled with sick people. Every so often, an angel came down from heaven and "troubled" the water, and the first one into the water got healed.

Jesus said to one man, "... Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent
