Normally laying of hand are pointed directly to the person and you don't have to necessary touch anyone.
It can be done from a distance and still be effective. I do pray for Male and Female and most of the time I do it from a distance without touching.
This actually have to do with the Flesh. And if you suspect as to why, yes it also has to do with temptations of the flesh.
Physical contact is after all very personal space for some. Some people, even a normal pat on the back, they are overwhelm in emotions. Girls are emotional creatures.
Best not to arouse any potential "whatever".
The scripture did mention that even a bad thought about somebody is equivalent to murder. Why? Because from thoughts, it give birth to consequential effects that leads to actions. That is why Jesus says if your hands cause you to steal, it's better to chop it off. Jesus is speaking figuratively to cut off your thoughts before anything happens.
Although this sounds kinda extreme, but all scripture is God inspired and it is the truth.
Don't feel bad or discourage, give yourself time, you will come to see the understanding of it as you mature.
Leaders are God appointed and they have been given authority to pray, to bless, etc. Yes in that sense they pray for all. But even their laying of hands are normally done on the head, no where else. But you notice most Preachers or Leaders are of aged and they are experience.
The scripture says
This scripture is basically saying we are to submit to Church Elders and Leaders because they are ordained by God.
But if you humble yourself by being obedient, God will raise you up to a higher position to minster to others. God is indeed looking for the right candidate who can stay in the spot light and yet not get burned. Humble yourself.
I hope the explanation helps.
P.S: I'm not saying you cannot pray and intercede for a girl. Just do
it in a group of believers and as above, stretch your hands without contact.
God Bless.
hmm ok, looks like things got complicated.
Anyway my intentions were pure and I did it with other group of believers around so.... yeah anyway I still feel it's a little too strict.
It's as if saying that "if I touch any girl, I will feel sexually arouse" or like you said "the girl will feel emotional".
even I do feel emotional when a guy pray to me, does that mean I am literally gay? No, it's the Holy Spirit that is dealing with me.
