4.2 Laying on hands
Laying on hands has become very popular through the Charismatic/Pentecostal movement. What could be wrong with that? Now the thing is once again that by laying on hands you open yourself not just to giving and receiving blessings but also curses and/or sins (as Paul described) and this is again very relevant especially when you have a lot of people in the congregation with Occult backgrounds (which you never know). I do it as well but always with caution. There is a difference if perfected Christians lay on hands or if (like its seen today) everyone lays hands on everyone.1 Timothy 5:22
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
The problem with this is that things you don't know can have a great effect on your life (like ancestral curses) so be careful out there my friends. I am not telling any of you to stop laying on hands but with caution. Laying on hands is very important, but always be sober.
5. Too close or too anonymous relationships within the Church
This issue I see especially in smaller congregations who have ‘’known’’ one another for many years that people start becoming reckless and let their armour down and become blind to another's actions. In small congregations often when people know one another they would never think or imagine that that one person may be a wolf in sheep's clothing. I have seen a small congregation where this ‘christian’ family is so well known but they in secret are witches and no one would imagine and rebukes all claim though the evil presence is suffocating. And in bigger congregations it's the right opposite! No one knows another and everything is mixed and whirled up with everything and those Churches are simply built on sand.
Beware the Wolves in sheep's clothing. Satan knows the bible, and so his demons. Do not stop discerning and don't close yourself to the people around me because you think you know them. And when after many years you find out ‘’he/she was cheating all this time’’ do not be surprised! Truly only God knows everyone.
