Most Christians believe that God can do anything, and many believe that He has made promises to heal, deliver, bless, and prosper His children. But some of these same believers find themselves unable to reconcile the Word with what they experience. They live in frustration or disillusionment, wondering why God’s promises don’t seem to be working for them. But God is no respecter of persons (Rom. 2:11). What He has done for one, He’s done for all.

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 already had
