You've Already Got It! - Week 1, Day 1 - The Gospel Truth

[Music] welcome to gospel truth with Andrew Wommack a teaching ministry that focuses on God's unconditional love and grace you don't need God to give you something you need to draw out what God has already put on the inside of you we're asking God for more when the truth is you've already got it you don't need more what you need is revelation of what you've already got and now here's Andrew welcome to our Mondays broadcast of the gospel truth today I'm going to begin a brand new series it's actually a follow-up kind of an application to what I taught on spirit soul and body your true identity in Christ and I've got this teaching entitled you've already got it the subtitle of it is so quit trying to get it and it's got a picture of a dog chasing his tail on here and you know it's kind of like a dog chasing its tail if it ever catches it it found out it already had it all along and a lot of people are asking for things that God has already given them and this is a paradigm shift it's a completely different way of looking at things that God has already given us everything we will ever need you don't need to ask God to heal you to bless you to prosper you to reveal his love to you he's already done all of these things what you've got to do is begin to start believing that God has already done it and you've got to learn how to start receiving instead of asking God to start giving now that's a major difference what I've said right there and I think that the majority of people don't even understand how important this is but out of all of the things that I teach this is one of the most important I say that about a lot of things because I believe everything I teach is important but just in my own personal life this has made a huge difference in the way that I relate to God in the way that God moves in my life and I am seeing much better results now and I have this mindset that God has already done his part it's not up to me to beg and plead with God to do something but rather it's a renewing of my mind and me just drawing out what God has already put in me instead of asking God to give me things that is a huge huge difference and let me just say right up front as I begin teaching this that I have ministered now for over 50 years and I have seen I mean thousands of times then I just preached my heart out about how God already loves you God's already blessed you you've already got all things in heavenly places in Christ and I'll say all of these things and then right afterwards I have people come up and says would you please pray that God would just give me his love that God would heal me and it goes against everything that I was teaching and so I've learned this over the years that you know I can argue people into seeing my point of view on certain things now you may you've always got a choice whether you believe it or not God doesn't force anybody to believe things but you know I can argue a person into seeing that healing is a part of the atonement of the Lord Jesus and that by His stripes we were healed first Peter 2:24 I can argue them the end of that position even though they may have been taught against it and they can at least come to a place where they say well I see it now they may choose to go ahead and go about what the doctor says or go by what they're feeling and stuff God doesn't force them to believe it but I can argue them into that position I can argue people into seeing that Jesus became poor so that we through his poverty might be made rich 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 verse 9 and most people have been taught that no God wants us poor God isn't gonna you know supply anything except just the bare necessities and stuff but I can argue a person with the Word of God into a position where they at least see and understand what I'm saying but when it comes to this truth about God has already done everything you've already got it I have tried to argue people explain this and people just can't see this this has to come by revelation is what I'm saying this is something that I can I can preach my heart out and a person it just seems like it goes right over their head there is no natural way to understand this because I'm talking about something that you cannot see that you can't prove in just a test tube or in some physical way this has to come by revelation and yet I'm saying this is one of the most important revelations that God has ever given me so I would like to say right up front and ask you to just agree with me that if you believe that God is speaking through me and through this program if you are looking for God to speak to you then I just want you to enter into agreement that God gives unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation and knowledge of him that the eyes of your heart would be open that you would receive this by the Spirit because this is something that just does not make sense to a person who is only going but what they can see taste hear smell and feel you've got to receive this through the revelation of the Holy Spirit and the good news is that God wants to reveal this to you more than you want him to reveal it so if you will just cooperate and if you will open up your heart I'm gonna say some things that are gonna be diametrically opposed to what religion teaches and I mean it is gonna counter a lot of religious teaching but that doesn't mean it's wrong you know just look at it this way most people watching this program have already had a lot of religious teaching a lot of religious training and stuff and you hold on to these things but let me ask you how's it working for you and I know from dealing with thousands of people and talking to them personally that there are many people watching here that you may have been serving the Lord and known the Lord for quite a period of time and yet the average person watching this program is struggling to receive healing to receive prosperity to receive joy peace deliverance vision and on and on you believe in God you were praying but how's it working for you and I believe that the average person would say well there's a lot of struggles there's things that you believe God wants to do in your life that you aren't receiving and so my point is that if that's true then don't hold on to just these doctrines of men if it's not working for you be open to something new and I'm going to be saying some things that I promise you will challenge a lot of the religious concepts that you have had but again jesus said in mark chapter 7 verse 13 that your traditions and doctrines and men make the Word of God of none effect and so the reason that we aren't experienced in all of the abundance the joy and the peace that God has for us is not God's fault it's our fault and one of the things that hinders us is this wrong thinking and what I'm gonna be teaching in this series about you've already got it this is gonna make a radical difference in the way that you relate to the Lord and the way that you receive from God and in my own personal experience and in the experience of many people that I've ministered to I mean this is a game-changer you know I'm thinking right now about Caroline and mikesh who I would like to encourage you to go to our website and you can look under our healing journeys our healing testimonies and Mike had this huge tumor that was on his chest and I mean I think he had it for years I like it was up to eight years and he had pictures of this thing with tentacles that went all through his chest and it was a cancer and it was sapping his life and he got hold of this book the one entitled you've already got it and it just transformed his life as a matter of fact as way of introduction into this I would just like to play this little testimony that we have a video of mikesh watched this and I'll be back at the end of the program [Music] in the year 2000 I noticed that I had a pimple here and I didn't think anything of it you know it was just it was just constantly a little itch here of course it at night I'd come home take my shirt off and I'd have to investigate because you're just constantly aware of it through that year it started getting red and then it got larger and larger like a small area about the size of my finger and I noticed that it wouldn't heal over I began to photograph it because I believed that God was going to heal me and I wanted to document the dates I prayed for it I believed in healing and it still didn't go away [Music] the desert oasis of Tucson Arizona sits in a sheltered Valley here Mike and Caroline Hesh joined a nondenominational church submitting themselves to a strong-willed pastor in time they became victims of religious ideas as malignant as the tuber that threatened to consume both of their lives I was part of this ministry for like 20 years they had taught healing but it was all performance-based doctrine oh you must be sinning oh you're not doing God's will oh you're in rebellion to the pastor oh this so that everything was a reason why I wasn't getting better and he had talked to our pastor about it and the pastor said 2lx nothing that herbs can't heal it's a nutritional problem I seem to just be getting worse and worse and worse when it wouldn't go away my pastor said why don't you go to the doctor then we can pray specifically for God to show us exactly what it is so that's when Mike made an appointment with the dermatologist to have it checked out and he comes in and he looks at it and he didn't look at it for maybe 5 or 10 seconds he said excuse me I'd like to go get my colleague come and then they did the doctor thing you know where they huh and they're you know with their little thing probing around the edge and they didn't say anything in front of me but I could tell that it was kind of serious he left the room and he said the nurse will direct you you know what to do when I got to the counter she handed me a piece of paper and she told me you have an appointment and it was like two weeks out and I can't remember if he was behind me the doctor that saw me or in the hallway passing through he just stopped and he said no that's not soon enough you know and I could sense the fear the so he said I'll take care of this and well the appointment was two days out from the day I was there and I thought whoa to get a doctor to a surgeon to see you in two days I mean you know something's happening here and I looked at the sheet that the doctor fills out and he checked the diagnosis he called me on the phone and after the appointment and he said that the doctor said you need to have surgery right away to have that removed and wrote up a little note and this is what it was a malignant neoplasm and she said well I'll look it up and I'll call you back so here I'm driving to work and she calls me back very seriously she says Mike it means that you have malignant neoplasm cancer she said well it's not benign in other words it's something that's actively growing now I'm thinking wow I've got something pretty serious here a little bit of fear came in but because it wasn't huge I really felt like you know what I know Mike believes in healing and that the Lord can take care of this once I talked to her I told the pastor I said what do you think I should do he said you know Mike you can do whatever you want but he said I said well they want me to cut it off he said well and he didn't tell me you know he didn't say you can't do it he said well that's not God's Way we believed that if you went to the doctors for anything like that to have it removed you're sinning and if you're sinning then you can't trust the Lord for healing it and he said but the choice is yours whatever you want to do but he said you know he said I would just counsel you not to do anything while you have that fear I called the the doctor that they had made the appointment with and I cancelled it that day and so she's like okay you know I was still believing but still a little bit hesitant like it's not that big it wouldn't be any big deal to get it you know burned off for power they were gonna chop it out and be done with it the next day I'm coming to work it's like 8:30 in the morning and my cell phone rings I answer the phone this I'm dr. so-and-so I diagnosed you with this yesterday they just told me you canceled your appointment I said that's correct I did and he said you can't do that that I said well I can do that and he said I want you to know I'm writing here down in my records that you're warned of this is a very deadly thing that you're dealing with and that you've been warned by me and then I was like really scared [Music] well that following February I guess it would be 2002 got very sick with the flu and when that happened it was just like the tumor it just started growing out as a tumor I remembered what the guy said that if you let it go it couldn't attach the size which I think in layman's terms means it can just turn into something else or like mutate into some other form or go throughout the rest of my body or something I'm watching and bandaging and as he's starting to get weaker and weaker and this tumor is getting bigger I'm thinking why doesn't he just get this thing cut off but at the same time as I'm thinking that and I would vocalize that to him at times just like you know this is it you know this is just getting worse you're getting you know sicker just let's get this cut off and I would always go back to you know I I have to do what I feels right in my heart and I just don't have a peace from God about getting that cut off you know cuz the Bible says let the peace of God rule in your hearts I know that's not the solution I don't have that peace in my heart but as he would refuse stubbornly refused and continued to stand on the word and God's promise of healing I would try and agree with him and stand with him and so for the next like five years I went through this rollercoaster at the church I would get over one hurdle and then the bar would go up a little higher and then here would be another thing that was uncovered that I wasn't doing right and that how could God hear me being a sinner the whole time as it starts getting worse and worse the tumor just it would stink you wrap it with paper towels and we have them soaked spray some herb tinctures to try and help cut down on the smell of it and it would use and it would bleed and we're wrapping it and saran wrap and then that would fill up with the ooze and then we'd have to drain that off and change it out and the tumor was just feeding off the blood in his body his whole complexion was like gray his heart rate for like months was in the 90s it was just it's horrendous I just noticed that just start started slowly losing energy like somebody just letting the air out of me so this tumor started getting so big and very heavy we've got to find some kind of sling or whatever so I end up going to the store and buying a couple bras cut out one side and I would just wear that it's like a harness to support to support it over here it just it just wasn't a good thing you know this was something that we just had to live with and eventually God would heal but I'm watching Mike's life being sucked out of him I didn't know what was going on I just knew that things in my body weren't working right on the inside and and then this thing I had that it was growing it grew off but I call it a tentacle or like this arm I could see like growing out underneath my skin in there and spreading out and it's nasty it was just like a manifestation of the devil in which it really was you know the Bible says that the devil comes to kill steal and destroy and that's what he was doing he was just sucking my life out he's destroying you know any productivity in my life he was stealing away my happiness and my joy I do have to say though that it was all by my consent because I didn't take a stand against him you know and at that point Mike was so sick it was just it was very hard for me to leave him all day when I would be working and I would call Mike and I could just help when he'd answered the phone like he was just like I don't know if I'm gonna come home and find him alive one scripture that really encouraged me was proverbs 4:23 22 where it says my son attend unto my words incline thine ear unto my sayings let them not depart from thine eyes but keep them in the midst of thine heart for their life to those that find them and health to all their flesh I just decided since I didn't have anything else to do during the day that I was just gonna every moment that I had I was gonna get in to God's Word and I knew that I was I was short on the life and I needed help to all my flesh I was flipping through the channel trying to find someone to listen to while I was getting ready for work and I came it went through the channels and there was the guy yelling and the guy doing this and I didn't want to listen to that and I landed on this channel where this guy was sitting in a chair talking calmly and he said hey I'm beginning a brand new series and I'm gonna start talking about a teaching that I've entitled you've already got it by that time I walked back into the bathroom and I was getting ready and I said man that's a stupid name for a study and but I didn't turn the channel and I just kept listening to it that God has already done for you everything that you've done and by the end of that half-hour I was hooked and so here she offered us some CDs and it was like okay yeah and my wife listened to them first a whole new Bible was opened up to me for seeing what the Bible really was teaching and what I had believed and the things I was believing we're not according to scripture and begin to start looking at everything from a standpoint where it's already accomplished and you are trying to get God to do something but rather you're just appropriating what he is already provided that mindset will totally revolutionize the way you receive from God and then you know passing it on to like saying you got to listen to this this is kind of a miracle for me as well it shows you how far the how quickly the Lord can deliver you when you're willing just to follow what His Word says and what he says in his spirit over some legalistic thinking the average prophecy that you're going to get in most churches is all about God is going to do something great there is coming a great move of God we are going to see something happen but you never hear people very much talk about what has already happened and I believe that instead of getting this mindset of trying to obtain victory it really makes a difference if you understand that through Jesus we've already obtained victory it's a done deal yeah I do I've already got it I was blessed in two ways one I was all these things I had been studying in the last you know especially in the last few weeks but six months prior I was getting you know I believe that was God who had her bring that to me because it was just like he was saying all these things in a little different way than the word says him but he was saying the same thing that the word says I remember getting this revelation about James chapter 1 where it says about being tossed to and fro like the waves of the sea and I thought you know that is so much me a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways it says let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord and so I just said you know what I don't have to focus on two things I can just focus on that and when I did that that's when I learned that I was able to receive from the Lord that it wasn't him withholding I already had it he wasn't withholding in other words God through Jesus Christ was not the variable in the situation it was me it was my unstable thinking the Bible says that by Jesus stripes I was healed just drawing this line in the sand saying nope it's going no further than this that night was a turning point of his healing because even though we still had to mess with the tumor it was still just as bad as before it was just kind of like it he didn't he didn't look at it anymore as that he was seeing himself as healed [Music] it was about two weeks later and suddenly we're changing and I have cut out the same length of the paper towels that we needed to before to wrap this and suddenly it's just like we're folding it up and that it's just like we can cut this much off and the people tell we don't need as much to wrap it and I said Mike this is getting smaller and I said well of course I said God's healed me it's got to get smaller I can't nothing else can happen I don't care what it looks like on the outside my Jesus stripes I was healed that's it all of Andrews teachings we're already confirming the things that might get seen in the word but it was like a second witness for him that yes this is the way it is that since what God said and he it helped him to stand even more on the healing I actually I don't know somewhere around May I didn't have to wear the bra anymore each time as we're changing it it's like Mike this thing is getting smaller and smaller it was just like it was shrinking so it was less and less that we had to deal with until it's a little thing like this and then he can change it himself of course and no longer was wearing the support and it was just like this thing is gone by August it was nothing it was just this little bump a scar on my chest here I was made whole by Jesus Christ and this is the only direction my body can go devil you can't have me I've already been bought [Music] after his healing Mike felt strongly that there was more he needed to learn about standing firm on the Word of God he and Caroline sold their home in Tucson and moved to Colorado Springs to attend Karis Bible College their journey of grace and freedom has just begun and one that powerful and I tell you what God did for Mike and Caroline Hesh he will do for you God is no respecter of persons it wasn't God who just let Mike go for years with this thing not receding and it just seemed to be getting worse it was because of the way that they were thinking and when Mike got hold of the truth that he already had it it didn't buy his own confession it really didn't matter what he saw or what he felt he had it in his heart he knew that it was a done deal and immediately his doubts were gone and his faith rose and today Mike and Caroline are just doing great you've already got a teaching taught me that all the stuff that I was working to try to receive from God I already had when I read those two chapters where he was talking about the fact that we already have healing like God already did it for us I went it gave me eternal salvation and he gave me all the things that I wanted and was looking for and didn't have before I understood that I
