Power Through Our Hands

And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch (Acts 5:12).

There is an enormous release of divine power when we stretch or lift our hands in prayer. The Apostle Paul said, “I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting” (1 Timothy 2:8).

When you lift your hands up to the Lord in prayer, you activate the heavenly powers and make them available on your behalf.

You see, your body extremities, such as your fingers, are spiritual openings; they are spiritual vents for either entrance or exit for the Spirit. When we stretch out hands, the anointing is released. The anointing isn’t the Spirit; it’s the Spirit that gives the anointing, and the Spirit lives in you. He transfers or imparts the anointing through your hands.

The anointing is a special power. It’s the power of God that heals, removes burdens, delivers and causes people to prosper. It destroys the yoke of bondage and opens doors. You have something to give; something to transfer to others.

As the Apostles stretched forth their hands, many signs and wonders were wrought amongst the people. This means: hopes were restored, burdens were lifted, sicknesses and diseases were healed, destinies were mended, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The same Spirit is in you today. The blessings of God for others can be released through your hands. Practice lifting up your hands in prayer, and you’ll see the release of power through you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Hallelujah!
