People spend billions every year to retain or restore health. No one wants to be sick. Yet, religion often tells us that God is either causing sickness or allowing it for a reason. But that’s not true—GOD WANTS YOU WELL.
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
Tuesday’s broadcast of the gospel truth
today I’m going to continue a series
that I started yesterday talking about
God won’t you well we’re going to be
talking about supernatural divine
healing and I tell you I am excited
about this this has made a huge
difference in my life and I believe that
this is an area that the body of Christ
is wanting in and I can spend a lot of
time making that point but really most
people don’t have to look any further
than their own experience to realize
that they they believe that God of
course is all-powerful and so when they
get into a crisis situation when the
doctor says there’s no hope when you’re
hurting and in pain I guarantee even
believers our excuse me non-believers
are crying out to God and asking God for
healing and looking for something
supernatural and so many many people
believe God can do anything but they
just don’t seem to have a handle on how
to get healing to work in their life and
they pray and most people are not
experiencing much success in this area I
can guarantee you that all over the
world right now we’ve got people from
every background men women young old
every situation and there are hurting
people that are watching this broadcast
they are desiring to see God’s
supernatural healing power in their life
and yet they have no assurance no
confidence that it’s going to happen
there is fear there’s worry there’s
discouragement people are hurting in
this area and the good news is that
Jesus paid for your healing just like he
paid for your forgiveness of sins now I
know that that is a statement that is
not shared by the majority of people
that’s offensive to a lot of religious
people who put healing in a category
where it’s kind of an add-on God could
do it if he wants to but you aren’t
guaranteed healing and there are people
that are going to take great offense at
what
say but let me just reiterate a point
that I made yesterday on our
introduction to this subject that the
people who take that approach and
believe God can do it but it’s just
totally up to him it’s on a whim
sometimes he does sometimes he doesn’t
you never know what God’s going to do
people who have that opinion about
healing don’t see healings come to pass
they might once in awhile see something
minor happen but you aren’t going to see
a person that has healings operating
their life they pray for people if you
look at the healing evangelists every
single one of them a consistent belief
is that you have to believe that it’s
God’s will for you to be well and so
just looking at the results you can look
at the fruit people who believe God can
heal but they have no confidence that he
really wants to heal those people very
very seldom produce the fruit of healing
the people who do produce the fruit of
healing believe without exception that
God wants you well and I am in that camp
I believe that it is God’s will for you
to be well and I believe that the Word
of God teaches us how to receive it I’ll
have to confess I don’t know everything
I’m still learning there are things in
my own body that I deal with and I’m
believing God I’m not saying I’ve got it
all figured out and by me just being
honest and trying to be upfront with you
there’s going to be some people who will
instantly just reject me because they
know it all and they are just going to
instantly say well then what right do
you have to talk about it but I can say
that I have seen miraculous healing
operate in my life through me to other
people and I’m seeing tremendous results
in this area and I really believe that
the vast majority of people watching
this program could benefit by the things
that God has shown me and by the things
that I’m learning and so I’m just
encouraging you to open up your heart I
know that I’m going to be saying things
that are contrary to what the majority
of people believe but I believe that
that’s the reason that they aren’t
seeing the miraculous power of God work
in their life if you want different
results in this area of healing than
what you’re getting then you’re going to
have to do something differently
proverbs 23:7 says as he thinketh any
heart so is he your life is the way it
is because of the way you think your
values the truths that you hold dear and
if you believe that God can heal even if
you believe that God won’t steal but if
you aren’t seeing it work in your life
you’re going to have to change something
that you believe to get different
results it’s a definition of insanity to
keep doing the same thing and pray for
different results if you want something
different you’re going to have to
believe something different you’re going
to have to do something different and so
don’t rebel or be upset just because I
say things that are contrary to the way
that you’ve been taught if things aren’t
working there needs to be some changes
so I’m saying all of this just trying to
prepare the ground so that the seed that
I plant will be able to take root in
produce in your life let me use a
scripture out of Mark chapter two and
this is an example of Jesus and in mark
chapter two verse 1 it says and again he
entered into Capernaum after some days
and it was noised that he was in the
house and straightway many were gathered
together in so much that there was no
room to receive them no not so much as
about the door and he preached the word
unto them now before I gone with the
rest of this story let me just make a
point and that is that one of the
reasons that Jesus drew such great
crowds there was multiple things it’s
not one faceted Jesus was the perfect
representation of God and he wasn’t just
strong in one area of his life he had it
all together
Amen I don’t think any of us
representing God today have it all
together certainly not in the category
that Jesus did so he wasn’t just
one-dimensional he had it all and it
talks here about how he preached the
word unto him but this is at the
beginning of his ministry and one of the
reasons that multitudes came to hear
Jesus and that there was so many people
packed into this house that they
couldn’t even get inside they couldn’t
even get around the windows or the door
because people were everywhere one of
the reasons is because Jesus used
miracles to draw people unto himself as
he began his ministry the very first
miracle that he did was turn
water into wine and you know it’s
amazing how that the religious people
they use the same Bible that I use but
because they don’t believe that God
works miracles today and they will
actually come up with doctrines that
these things passed away with the
Apostles and stuff like this they will
take scriptures like Jesus turning water
into wine and they will spiritual eyes
and talk about how all of our lives were
bland and plain like water and when
Jesus comes he gives your life purpose
and meaning and you can make comparisons
and draw analogies from that I’m not
saying that that’s wrong but it is done
so often that people who use the same
Bible that I’m reading out of will take
this instance where jesus healed the man
let down through the roof and healed his
physical body he was paralyzed and they
will just spiritual eyes this and people
don’t even realize that Jesus used
physical miracles he wasn’t just making
spiritual illustrations and analogies
out of this he was physically healing
people and that is the reason that the
crowds came after him this is at the
very beginning of his ministry and it
was before all of his teachings had
totally developed in God out there and
you got to remember he didn’t have the
benefit of books and tapes and CDs all
of the things that we’ve got it was just
his personal appearance and the things
that he was doing right there and the
thing that he used that drew the
multitudes probably more than anything
else was the miraculous demonstration of
his ability to heal Jesus used miracles
to draw people and I tell you one of the
reasons that the church isn’t making a
greater impact today is because they has
not have not emphasized healing and they
are just preaching something about when
you die and go to be with the Lord which
certainly that’s important I’m not
trying to minimize that but I am trying
to maximize an area that I believe has
been neglected and we need to present
the whole counsel of God and show that
it is God’s will to touch your bodies
right now and see this is exactly what
happened right here it says there were
so many people around him that they
couldn’t even get around him and so it
says in verse 3 and they came unto him
bringing one sick of the palsy with
was born of four and when they could not
come nigh unto him for the press they
uncovered the roof where he was and when
they had broken it up they let down the
bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay
that’s obvious by this story that they
were coming because they wanted healing
and they had heard the stories of Jesus
healing other people and they were
motivated to come here by the power of
God to heal you know why people aren’t
breaking holes in our roof and getting
people down through the roof because it
is so crowded in the churches that they
can’t get in the church they can’t even
look in the windows they can’t come in
the door you know why they aren’t doing
this today because we aren’t
demonstrating the power of God the way
that Jesus did forgive me for being
blunt and being honest but I tell you
today we’re depending upon all of the
padded pews and all of the nice things
and the fact that we’ve cut our service
down to just ten minutes of singing and
15 minutes of preaching units and it’s
convenient and people can come and we’re
drawing crowds in that sense but I tell
you people aren’t motivated this way
because there isn’t the same power of
God being manifest by the people of God
today that there was when Jesus was here
representing his father and this is
wrong we need to be representing God we
need that the same thing will work today
that work then when you start seeing the
miraculous power of God in people’s
lives being changed it will draw people
people are still sick today people are
still looking for God to help them in
this physical area and if the church was
to stand up and take the position that
God called us to take and represent him
properly and if we were presenting him
as he’s not only for the forgiveness of
your sins yes it includes that I’m not
minimizing that but if we were to
present that Jesus is here to forgive
your sins and to heal your body at the
prosper you financially and to deliver
you from the oppression and the
depression of the devil and if we
representing that and could back it up
with the power of God flowing through us
man our crowds our churches couldn’t
hold the people they’d have it to be
cutting holes in the roof and letting
people into our meetings – and you know
what by me saying that that condemns a
lot of people but at the same time if I
point a finger at you
at three point back at me I have seen a
lot of miraculous healing power of God
but I could be much stronger in this I’m
preaching to myself I’m motivating
myself brothers and sisters Jesus if he
was here without the hindrance of having
to flow through me if he was here
without my limits that I’ve imposed on
him by my own problems and prejudices
and background and everything I
guarantee you’d be doing a much better
job than what I’m doing he’d be doing a
much better job than what most of us
have ever seen represented we need to
get back to this Jesus drew people they
were if they were so motivated they took
the tiles off the roof they broke up the
roof and they let this lame man down
through the roof because they couldn’t
get to him any other way people would
still do the same thing today if they
had any confidence that when they
brought a person to church that they’d
get them healed people would do the same
thing I’ve had people come to my
meetings and ambulances hire ambulance
isn’t come because they believe that
they’d be healed and they were healed
I’ve had people come on their deathbed
I’ve had people that were not supposed
to live through the night and we have
seen many many many of these people heal
I guarantee it’s still the way that it
works the way that it was in Bible days
is still the way that it is today in
verse five it says and Jesus saw their
faith he said unto the sick of the palsy
son thy sins be forgiven thee now it’s
obvious that they came for healing but
Jesus said your sins be forgiven you you
know there is so much here I’m not going
to preach on this because I could spend
the rest of the day and I want to move
on to the rest of this but let me just
say that when you forgive a person their
sins if you totally understood what that
meant that would mean that healing is
yours deliverance is yours prosperity
because all of these negative things
sickness and all of this stuff came into
the world through sin and if sin has
been dealt with and removed and
therefore all of these side effects and
negative effects of sin have been broken
and you can go on and walk in health and
prosperity and deliverance when Jesus
said your sins be forgiven you he
literally was given this man the key to
his healing and to everything else he
wasn’t just dealing with
sealing but he was dealing with that
entire person in verse 6 it says and
there were certain of the scribes
sitting there which reasoned in their
hearts why did this man thus speak
blasphemies who can forgive sins but God
only and boy they were offended that he
said your sins are forgiven God’s the
only one that can forgive sins of course
what they were missing was that Jesus
was God and he had every right to
forgive this man sin but of course they
didn’t believe that and so there was an
immediate criticism of him
and look at this in verse 8 it says and
immediately when Jesus perceived in his
spirit that they so reasoned within
themselves he said unto them why reason
ye these things in your heart he was
demonstrating that he was God he had the
ability through the Holy Spirit to see
and perceive what they were thinking
without them saying it he knew what was
going on in their heart and in verse 9
he says whether is it easier to say to
the sick of the palsy thy sins be
forgiven thee or to say arise and take
up thy bed and walk now before we get to
the rest of this let me just make this
point which is easier to say your sins
be forgiven or to say be healed rise up
and walk now both of them are impossible
to do only God can forgive sins and only
God men in their own strength and in
their own power if they were separated
from God and if it wasn’t God’s powerful
and through them no person can heal a
paralyzed person that’s not natural it’s
not normal so both of them are
impossible to do but just talking about
saying which one is easiest to say you
know it’s actually easier to say your
sins be forgiven you because you can’t
see us in you can’t see that sin you
can’t see if the sin was forgiven so you
could say your sins be forgiven and
there’s no way to disprove that it
happened so it would actually be easier
to say your sins are forgiven you but as
far as healing goes if you say you’re
healed well then there’s immediately the
physical realm is either going to
confirm our prove you wrong when you say
this it’s actually harder to say be
because there’s instantaneous
manifestation of either healing are the
continued paralysis and so it would be
harder to say your you’re healed than it
is to say your sins are forgiven and I
believe that what Jesus is doing is just
saying I’m going to do the thing that is
harder to say and if I can do the
greater thing well then I can also do
the lesser thing in other words if I can
heal this man’s physical body that will
be proved that I could also deal with
his sins and that’s the point that he’s
making and so he says whether is easier
to say to the sick of the palsy thy sins
be forgiven thee or to say rise take up
thy bed and walk but that you may know
that the Son of man hath power on earth
to forgive sins he saith to the sick of
the palsy I say under the arise take up
thy bed and go thy way to thy house and
immediately he rose and took up the bed
and went forth before them all
instruments that they were all amazed
and glorified God saying we never saw it
on this fashion so Jesus right here in
the tenth verse he says but that you may
know that the Son of man hath power on
earth to forgive sins and then in the
eleventh verse he healed this man so
jesus himself said the reason I am
healing this man is to show you that if
I can heal the physical bodies if I can
do that thing which is in the natural
then I can also do this thing that’s in
the spiritual and Jesus proved to
skeptics that he had the power to
forgive sins and to deal with the
spiritual inside greater details of the
spirit man by proving he proved it by
healing the physical man now let me say
this if Jesus had to prove himself and
to establish his authority and his
ability to do supernatural spiritual
things and deal with people’s sins if
Jesus felt a need to prove it by doing
physical healings then let me just say
this how arrogant how conceited is it on
the part of preachers ministers the body
of Christ today to think that we are
going to convince
a skeptical world that Jesus is alive
and that he can deal with your sins and
forgive your sins and settle your
eternal destiny and do these things how
arrogant is an on our part to think that
we somehow are better at convincing
people and doing things than Jesus is
Jesus used the physical realm to prove
that he could do the things in the
spiritual realm and yet today people are
saying oh we don’t need that we’re just
going to proclaim that Jesus can forgive
your sins and Jesus can set you free and
we are going to demonstrate it we aren’t
going to prove it we aren’t going to
bring Jesus into the world where people
can see a physical manifestation of
God’s power we’re just going to trust
that they will just know these things
and open up and receive it Jesus didn’t
do that Jesus specifically said I’m
using healing to prove to you that if I
can do this then I can also do that and
Jesus said this in a number of different
places you know I’m getting short on
time today but real quickly let me just
use one of these instances over in the
10th chapter of the book of John this is
another instance Jesus was constantly
the scribes and the Pharisees the
religious people were always criticizing
him and coming against him and you’re
casting out Devils through the power of
Devils you’re doing miracles because
you’re the devil you know it’s amazing
how things seem to come back around in a
circle but today if you go out and cast
out a devil if you heal people say
you’re healed in the name of Jesus there
are many religious people that will rise
up and say that’s the devil man that’s
exactly what they were doing to Jesus
and they said you’re doing all of these
miracles by the power of the devil and
in John chapter 10 in verse 25 they had
said tell us plainly if you are really
the Christ and he says in verse 25 I
told you and you believe not the works
that I do in my father’s name they bear
witness of me so he said right here that
the works that his father gave him to do
and he was talking about the fact that
he was casting out Devils and healing
bodies he says these things testify of
me that I am of God and you know I’m not
going to take time to turn over there
but you could go to Hebrew
chapter two and it says that Jesus was a
man that was approved of God by mighty
signs and wonders and it was confirmed
his word that he preached was confirmed
by God through mighty signs and wonders
and then those who heard him went out
and the Lord worked with them and there
were signs and wonders worked through
them and so here’s three or four
instances that I’ve given you and
there’s many more that I could turn to
in Scripture but there are times that
Jesus himself said I am going to heal
the physical body to prove to you that I
can also do the spiritual things the
scripture says that Jesus was approved
by God how through the acts that he did
specifically the healings and things
like this those who came along in Jesus
footsteps the early apostles that
recorded in Scripture they used miracles
of healing to draw crowds and to
demonstrate that the things we’re saying
are true and here’s the proof of it if
you can see these physical miracles
which are impossible for men to do if
those things can happen then also the
spiritual things that we are proclaiming
can also happen and so the gospel was
preached in power it says in Acts
chapter 4 that after they were beaten
they went back to their assembly and
they prayed and said O God behold their
threatenings and grant unto your
servants that you that we might preach
your word by stretching forth your hand
to heal and that signs and wonders might
be done by the name of thy Holy Child
Jesus they they equated preaching with
demonstrating the power of God and
seeing miraculous things happen and
because they did that they were walking
in the power of God multitudes came unto
them thousands were being saved today
the church as a whole is not
demonstrating the power of God they’re
proclaiming that God is real they’re
proclaiming that he can do things but
they don’t demonstrate it if the average
sick person was to come to the average
church and say would you please pray for
me the average Church and say well why
did you come to me why don’t you go to
the doctors have you tried this pill
have you tried this I heard and they
would send them away the average church
doesn’t even have this as a goal and
then there are some people who believe
that God can
and they may pray for it but they don’t
understand that it’s something that God
has already done and he’s put this power
in us they aren’t taking their authority
but instead they’re coming as a beggar
said Oh God we can do nothing
o God please stretch forth your hand be
healed and they aren’t understanding
that God has already put that power in
us I’m going to be dealing with these
things as we go through this series and
hopefully we’re going to be helping you
to understand it is God’s will for you
to be well we’re going to be sharing
with you about how you can exercise your
faith and begin to receive healing on
your own I tell you this is going to
change people’s lives I know that
there’s a lot of people that will be
upset and not like what I say but I tell
you what I’m not preaching to the ones
who are upset I’m preaching to those of
you who have ears to hear and I ask to
see and a heart to receive and I believe
that this is going to change a lot of
people’s lives I would like to encourage
you to please get the materials I’m just
going to be dealing with just really the
tip of the iceberg on these television
programs but I’ve got materials that go
into much more depth
