Andrew Wommack: God Wants You Well - Week 1 - Session 3

welcome to gospel truth with Andrew Wommack a teaching ministry that focuses on God's unconditional love and grace and now here's Andrew welcome to our Wednesday's broadcast of the gospel truth today I'm continuing a series that I started this last Monday talking about God wants you well I'm excited about this because I tell you I have seen a lot of miraculous things happen in this area of healing and every time that God manifests manifest a miraculous healing and I mean people get healed they get causes people to glorify God you know on my program yesterday I was using the scriptures out of Mark chapter 2 where this man was let down through the roof and it says when the people saw it they glorified God and said we've never seen it on this fashion other instances people says man he speaks with authority these aren't just words this isn't just a sermon but it has so much power it changes people's lives people are being healed and this is my experience too that every time you see a miraculous healing people get born again people begin to commit their lives to the Lord healing in itself is not the goal now I am NOT saying that healing is unimportant but I am saying that it serves a purpose to illustrate that if God can touch the physical bodies and heal us in this physical realm then certainly he can do even the greater spiritual things and the things that are spoken about eternity are also true and we need healing to help verify and demonstrate that the things we're saying about God able to forgive a person sins and take care of your emotions and heal your marriages and all of these other things we need demonstration and proof that these things are true we got a skeptical world that to a large degree has just written the church off because they say all of these things but there's no ability to demonstrate it they aren't demonstrating it and so it's easy to say that you're wrong because there's no way to really prove it but when you start proclaiming that God not only wants to deal with spiritual and eternal things but he wants to heal your bodies and people start walking in the miraculous power of God and miracles start happening and the dead are raised and the blind eyes are open and the Deaf ears are open I guarantee you there are multitudes multitudes of people today that have been born again because they have seen the demonstration of God's healing power there are great miracles happening I know that there are many of you think all I've never seen them and if this stuff is true why isn't it on the news you know I've seen three people raised from the dead and I've had people say well if that's true then why don't you go to the news and why don't you tell them and you know what there is a disbelief there is a spirit of Antichrist that is why I'd work in this world and you aren't going to get the news media and all of these things to start proclaiming these healings for one thing they would look at it is a liability issue if they start saying this well then what would happen if this wasn't true if it wasn't accurate and they're going to just take the the easiest way out they aren't going to take a stand they would be criticized people would turn off their broadcasts because there's people that just absolutely believe that God isn't real or if God exists that he doesn't want to do anything about our physical situation and heal us it's a convenient way of believing it's a way of coping with all of the tragedy and the death and the hurt and the pain and the sickness and the disease rather than try and believe God which it takes effort and you would have to study the word and you couldn't just sit there and watch as the stomach turns on the television and x-rated and r-rated things and you couldn't be a fanatic and follow all of these things it would take some effort to renew your mind and to overcome your unbelief and to seek God it takes effort to see the power of God in manifestation and rather than put forth that effort there's people that would rather just Excel those things don't happen and you know we just have to depend upon the doctors and medicine and and you can't trust a supernatural thing and it's a convenient way to live you can still be carnal you don't have to seek God you can pray lord if it be your well and if you get here well then you say thank you Jesus and if you die well you know it must have been God's will that's a convenient way of dealing with things you have to take no responsibility it doesn't take any effort on your part but I'm telling you it's worth the effort and again I say I've seen thousands and thousands of people healed and people are born again all over the world because of these healings miracles are happening and God used miracles to draw people unto himself we use those verses yesterday let me just continue reading I didn't read all of this in John chapter 10 but Jesus was being grilled about what writing and what authority do you have to do all of this and he said they asked him says are you really the Christ and in John chapter 10 verse 25 he says I told you and you believe not the works that I do in my father's name they bear witness of me and so they kept interacting with them and saying no you aren't the Christ you don't have the right you're doing this through the power of the devil etc so jesus answered them in verse 34 and he says is it not written in your law I said you were gods if he called them gods unto whom the Word of God came in the scripture cannot be broken say ye of him whom the father hath sanctified and sent into the world thou blasphemous because I said I am the son of God well that's a great teaching I ain't got time to go into that in verse 37 it says if I do not the works of my father believe me not you know if we were to just take that statement right there by Jesus and apply this to most ministers today and if we said if ministers aren't doing the works of the father as demonstrated through Jesus now what did Jesus do well there's of course many many instances but one on that kind of summarizes it is acts 10:38 it says how that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with power and with the Holy Ghost who went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil part of how Jesus did the works of his father was that he went around healing all not some but all who were oppressed to the devil and he said here if I don't do the works of my father which part of that work was healing all that were oppressed of the devil believe me not if we were to just apply this to ministers today and say man if you are not demonstrating the supernatural power of God then don't listen to them you know what there's a lot of Ministers that if we were to apply that same standard to them today nobody would be listening to them there's huge amounts of people that have a word that they preach but they don't back it up with any power or demonstration in the physical natural realm and Jesus is saying if I'm not doing this if I can't demonstrate the power of God then don't listen to me that's one of the reasons that Jesus made the impact that he did is because he not only had something that he preached but he lived it there was power and demonstration in his life and because I would man it shook the entire nation it shook multiple nations and of course here we are 2,000 years later and Jesus is still the central figure of the human race in the next verse it says in verse 38 but if I do talking about if I do the works of my father though you believe not me believe the works that you may know and believe that the father is in me and I on him Jesus used the miracles that he did and said even if you aren't going to believe my words will then believe my works believe this demonstration how do you reconcile the fact that people are raised from the dead blind eyes are open and deaf ears are open in the lame walk and the dumb talk how do you deal with that it had to be demonstration of the supernatural power of God and that's what Jesus is saying even if you won't believe my words believe because you see the demonstration of the power of God you know you'll hear people today say well now wait a minute the devil can also do these things I've never seen people healed by the power of the devil I don't doubt that maybe it could happen I don't know but I'm telling you what you know I remember when I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and started speaking in tongues and people says you got to watch that stuff that's of that devil and you know I've never been into a bar and heard those people in there speaking in tongues I've never been where they're you know doing all this stuff people in bars don't speak in tongues people these gangbangers they aren't speaking in tongues you'll hear this criticism often that all this is the devil boys showed me the devil's crowd that they are healing people showed me that the miraculous power of God you can't do it it's not happening that's a false thing and some people are afraid and saying well it's not only God who does is it you know Jesus said you can believe me because you see these works when you start seeing the miraculous power of God manifests through a person it's because God's anointing is on them Satan isn't healing the sick Satan isn't causing people to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues and fall in love with God and that that's not the devil I'll tell you some of the arguments that people bring up it just makes you wonder how dumb can you get and still breathe forgive me for being blunt and so in Hebrews chapter 2 it's talking about that Jesus is the superior way of God manifesting himself and how did God manifest himself through Jesus yes Jesus spoke like no other men spoke Jesus spoke words of life but Jesus also demonstrated the power of God through miraculous healings he dealt with the needs of people he provided for people physically financially and caused them to prosper Jesus manifested power in this physical natural life to show that he could also deal with these greater spiritual and eternal things and in Hebrews chapter 2 it starts talking about that since Jesus is the greatest manifestation of God we ought to give more earnest heed to the things which we have heard lest at any time we should let them slip for if the word spoken by Angels was steadfast this time at the Old Testament law and the Old Testament doctrine if all of those things were steadfast in every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that hurt him now here it is talking about that Jesus himself spoke the word and it says that those who came after him his disciples and apostles they confirmed it and how did God bear witness in the next verse it says God also bearing them witness both with signs and wonders and divers miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost according to his own will now again here it is talking about miracles and this is talking about signs and wonders and if you even have ever read the Gospels and the book of Acts you cannot deny the fact that healing was one of the central things that Jesus did healing is one of the central things that the disciples did and this verse is saying that God used those healings to confirm the word the word confirmed means to establish to verify to prove that these things that are being spoken are real because if you can do if you can cause a physical manifestation if someone who is blind all of a sudden can see if someone who is deaf all of a sudden can hear it is a demonstration that those things you're saying about the greater merit matters of the soul the spiritual realm your emotions if you can do those physical things then you can also do those non-physical intangible things on the inside of people you know at our recent gospel truth seminar that I held in Phoenix I forget all of the details but we saw hundreds and hundreds of people heal in one night I had I was calling out healings and I spoke that there are people here being healed of deafness and I don't know how many people stood there could have been 100 but there was at least 50 I don't know there was a lot of people that stood and of course I assumed that most of them weren't totally deaf are they you know I didn't have a interpreter for the deaf there so they probably had to have some degree of hearing but there was at least fifty to a hundred people that stood for prayer and out of those I had people say all right if you can already tell that you're healed if your hearing has already improved removed your hearing aids check yourself and out of those people I'm not sure how many but there was at least thirty that instantly were healed and they could hear better one of them sent me an email and they were some friends of mine from a long time ago and they had this guy had hearing aids in both ears and with these hearing aids he still was having trouble hearing and he went home that night he didn't he wasn't one of those that testified that he was instantly healed but the next morning when he got up and I think went to the mailbox or something he could hear the crickets he could hear all of these sounds he hadn't put his hearing aids in and his hearing was totally restored and you know why when we saw those miracles happen you know what the crowds increased people started coming forward we had people born again we had people baptized in the Holy Spirit people fell in love with God I'm not saying that healing is unimportant but I'm saying healing is a stepping stone to even greater things and that's what these verses are saying it's what Jesus said of himself he says even if you aren't going to believe me because of the words that I speak believe me because of these miracles and if I'm not doing miracles well then don't listen to me boy if we were to apply that to the average preacher today I guarantee there wouldn't be very many preachers out there minister look at this passage of Scripture in mark chapter 16 this is some of Jesus last instructions to his disciples it was after his resurrection and as he was being caught up into heaven these are some of the very last words that he said to his disciples before being taken back into heaven and he said in mark chapter 16 and in verse 15 it says he said unto them go you into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved he that believeth not shall be damned and as he was talking about preaching the gospel in the very next verse verse 17 and these signs shall follow them that believe in my name they shall cast out Devils they shall speak with new tongues they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover right in the context of go preach the gospel to every living creature he says and these signs are going to follow those who are truly preaching the Word of God miraculous things are going to happen in one of those things the last thing listed is that you're going to lay hands on the sick and that they shall recover this is how the Lord says the gospel is supposed to be preached and he said he would confirm the word with these things if you keep on reading in verse 19 he says so then after the Lord had spoken unto them he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God and they went forth and preached everywhere the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following amen this is how the gospel began the Lord of course operated in the supernatural power of God and went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil Acts chapter 10 verse 38 then he told his disciples you go preach the gospel and as you go you lay hands on the sick and they shall recover and then it says that when they went forth and preached God confirmed the word in other words they didn't just preach it in word but they demonstrated the power of God by the healing people and when people saw that this is supernatural you know none of those disciples in themselves they they couldn't have healed a gnat with their own power and ability but then they would pray in the name of Jesus and the dead would be raised and the blind eyes would be open and miracles would happen and God would use that to confirm that this is supernatural that the things that they're preaching are true and because of it people would be born again and this is how the early New Testament church started and I mean in a very short period of time they turn the world right-side up and if you read the book of Acts every single one of them went forth and did miracles they saw the power of God in manifestation there's a passage in John chapter 20 or 21 I forget the exact reference I could find it but anyway it says that these things were written about Jesus and the miracles that he did just as a testimony but it says if everything that Jesus did if all of the miracles that he did would be written matter of fact here it is right here let me just read this to you in John chapter 21 in verse 25 it says and there are also many other things which Jesus did the which if they should be written every one I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written what a statement Jesus did so much the Gospels are just a representation in one of the dominant things in the Gospels is healing jesus healed Jr's his daughter and raised her from the dead raised the widow's son from the dead at the city of Nan jesus healed the blind the Deaf the lame the lepers Jesus did miracles miracles miracles and this is just a very small representation if they would have written down all of them the world itself couldn't contain the books that would be that would be needed to write it all down Jesus operated in the supernatural power of God His disciples operated in the supernatural power of God and if we were true disciples of Jesus today we would be operating in the power of God now that statement I believe is true but it could be used to condemn yourself or to condemn someone else none of us do things perfectly you know what I can truthfully say that I am seeing the power of God manifest in my life like I gave testimony in one service this year we saw over 30 people who had problems with deafness manifest a healing nearly instantly I am seeing the power of God operate but you know what like I said if there was 50 or a hundred people that stood there was only 30 that manifested an instant healing some of them I'm sure since that time have seen the healing come but still it's not every single person and it says Jesus went about healing all that were oppressed of the devil there isn't a single instance that Jesus didn't heal them all that would allow it now there is an instance where Jesus wanted to produce healing and people wouldn't receive it but that wasn't his fault Jesus He healed them all I don't see this manifest completely and there's multiple reasons for it I know some of the reasons I could explain that and as we go through this series I will be talking about things that hinder healing and why not every person receives a healing and I have some revelation on this but I still don't understand it all and I believe if I had we're understanding I would see a greater number of people heal and so I could take the very things that I've said and actually condemn myself and say well you aren't seeing every person he'll I what I'm saying though is I haven't arrived but I've left I am not seeing everything as perfectly as it could be and I'll accept responsibility on my part that I'm not all that I should be but I'm not all that I was I'm moving in the right direction and I'm not condemned I'm encouraged I haven't arrived but I've left and I'm moving in that direction and so I'm saying I don't get condemned when I say this but at the same time I don't sit there and so well you know that was Jesus and Jesus just doesn't want me to operate to the same level and so if I see one or two people healed and that's fine I'm content no I'm not content I'm still pressing I want to see greater manifestation of God in my life I am NOT content but I'm not condemned and there's a balance between those two things you have to you have to receive these truths I'm saying to the point that it motivates you to want to do more but at the same time don't be so condemned or hard on yourself that you just focus on the wire and I doing this how come our ministers aren't doing this and you become so critical in judgmental that you go out and begin to blast everybody there are some people that I really respect that have been faithful to what they know and have impacted their world and it made an impact and yet they don't operate in the supernatural and see things happen I don't think that's the way God intended it to be but faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God Romans 10:17 and we live in a day and age that this miraculous healing power of God has not been preached to the majority of people and there are some people that literally aren't operating in it because they haven't heard this they haven't got the revelation and so they are faithful with what they know and I believe that God loves them and when he they enter into heaven God's going to say well done thou good and faithful servant they were faithful to what they knew to do did that mean that they did everything they were supposed to do no I believe that every minister every minister should be seeing the miraculous power of God manifest in their life they ought to have testimonies of people that are healed and blind eyes that are open in death ears that are opening people that are raised from the dead we were commanded to do that Matthew chapter 10 verse 8 it says go preach the gospel heal the sick cleanse the lepers raise the dead in the same way that we're supposed to preach the gospel we're supposed to heal the sick cleanse lepers and raise the dead Jesus said in John chapter 14 verse 12 that the works that he did we would do also and even greater works than these some people want to argue that the greater works are being on radio and television which I don't believe that is what it's talking about but even if you believe that what are you going to do with the part of that verse it says the works that I do show you do also we are supposed to be doing the works of Jesus and I'm teaching this series on God wants you will to
