1 | he has no power over me | John 14:30 | jimtine1 | 182539 | ||
John 14:28-32 (The Message) The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson 28"You've heard me tell you, 'I'm going away, and I'm coming back.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I'm on my way to the Father because the Father is the goal and purpose of my life. 29-31"I've told you this ahead of time, before it happens, so that when it does happen, the confirmation will deepen your belief in me. I'll not be talking with you much more like this because the chief of this godless world is about to attack. But don't worry—he has nothing on me, no claim on me. But so the world might know how thoroughly I love the Father, I am carrying out my Father's instructions right down to the last detail. Why Jesus says this here is to maybe assure the discip;es that satan is fighting a losing battle. Because of our Lord's sinlessness, satan could have no hold on Him. Only over those who have yet to accept Him does satan have power over. Because of the love Jesus has for His Father, that love is what Jesus is wanting His disciples to grasp so they too will keep satan under their feet where he belongs. |

2 | seeking info on the laying on of hands | Gal 5:22 | jimtine1 | 182537 | ||
According to the footnotes in the KJV Study Bible Paul is "speaking of the ordination of an elder,which should not be performed until the candidate has had time to prove himself. as far as the 2nd pt. of this scripture which says "neither be partaker of other men's sins" it is saying do not ordain a person unworthy of the office of elder. "keep thyself pure" refers to a refusal to become involved in the ordination of an unworthy candidate for that office. This scripture does Not mean that if the Holy Spirit is leading you to minister to someone by the laying on of hands, that you shouldn't. On the contrary. We are to be obedient and always be led by the Spirit of God. If youi jump over to 2 Tim. 1:6 you will see there it says " Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God which is in thee by putting on of my hands." and also in Acts 6:3-6 where there were chosen "7 men full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom and of honest report whom we may appoint over this business." They carried out certain duties of distributing funds to the widows who had no one to care for them and so became the church's responsibility. Therefore the apostles "laid their hands on them." (the 7 chosen for this) The laying on of hands accdg. to the notes on this scripture in the KJV is very clear and ties in both the old and new testament. | ||||||
