Impartation by laying hands

"For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;"

Romans 1:11

Our opening scripture shows us that impartation is intentional. The word impart above means to give away. Do you know that spiritual graces and gifts can be transferred to you through the laying on of hands? The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 34:9, "And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses." Joshua received the spirit of wisdom and was full of the Spirit because Moses laid hands on him. There is an impartation that takes place whenever hands are laid on you.

Through the laying on of hands, you can receive a divine impartation of the Spirit that can change your life and take you to a high realm of the Spirit. I was in a meeting almost twenty years ago in Delta State where an Apostle from the United States of America was invited to. Prior to that time, I had already read some of his books. Before the close of the meeting, this particular minster I respect and his associate began laying hands on everyone in the meeting. I wanted him to lay hands on me and I had prayed about it in my heart. God answered my prayer and He laid hands on me.

After he laid hands on me, something happened to me. There was an impartation. When I got home, I just started writing, I wrote for hours the things that the Holy Spirit laid in my heart. What had happened to me? He imparted to me his gift. He was a prolific writer and that grace was imparted to me that day when he laid hands on me. In 1Timothy 4:14 Paul said, "Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery."

Prayer.

Dear Father, I thank you for all the impartations I have received through the years through the laying on of hands. I ask that you stir up these deposits and graces that are in me so that I may be established in your will in Jesus Name. Amen.
