Question

Can spiritual gifts be imparted by the laying on of hands?

Answer

Now, that man can’t help because he doesn’t dream. Neither can you help because you do dream. Now, look. God made you that way. Is that right? Now, what if I told you, “Dream me a dream.” Could you do it? No, sir. Yet, you dream dreams. But I say, “Dream me a dream.” You can’t do it. The one who puts a dream upon you, has to do it. Is that right? How many understands that far, what I’m talking about? Now, let…That’s right. Now, look. Now, you begin to be germitized, as your body, in your great-grandfather, the germ begin to begin to become active. Did you know that? Why here, Levi, paid tithes when he was in the loins of Abraham, his grandfather. Is that right? See? Now, if you germitized in your great-grandfather, come out through your grandfather, down to your father, then in, and that’s how you become germitized for your body. But your spirit, your soul was made up before the foundation of the world, when God made man in His image. Now, a person that cannot dream, his subconscious is there, that’s God’s way of doing it. The man that does dream, his subconscious is here, he can’t help it. But a seer, that’s borned a seer, His subconscious is neither back there, nor here. It’s right here with him. You don’t go asleep. You’re wide awake and see it. Now, who understands what I mean? See? It’s not laying on of hands. It’s not in imparting spiritual gift, as the error is going across the country today. That’s wrong. If you believe me to be a prophet sent from God, hear my word: That’s an error, no such a thing. Gifts and callings are without repentance. God ordains them; God has set in the Church. See? All right.
