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
again this week I’m teaching on a
subject that I’ve entitled you’ve
already got it and the subtitle of this
book is so quit trying to get it people
are asking God for things that he’s
already given and you know I’ve used
this example a lot but if I was in a
church service I’ll often go and just
hand my Bible to someone and then I’ll
say now what if this person has got my
Bible laying in their lap how would I
respond if they say could I have your
Bible if you’re asking me to give you
something that I’ve already given you
how do you respond to something like
that you know honestly I don’t know how
I’d respond I decide like wondering what
are they asking for what do they mean
don’t they realize that I’ve already
given them a Bible if you’re asking for
something that you’ve already got the
person who gave it to you is just kind
of dumbfounded like you know they don’t
know what to say very similar to the
response that you’re getting from God
when you’re saying Oh God healed me and
you hear nothing and oh god bless me and
oh God give me finances and you’re
begging God for all these things and you
aren’t hearing anything if God could be
confused I believe that God would be
confused thinking why are they asking me
to do but I’ve already done
didn’t I say like in you know first
Peter 2:24 that by my stripes they were
healed they were if they were healed
then they are healed why are they asking
me to he
kill them it’s because we don’t believe
we are here we believe more what we feel
what the doctor says than what God says
and so that that silence that we get on
the other end of our prayer is God you
know again I’m taking some liberties
here but in a sense it’s like God saying
to Jesus didn’t you tell them that by
your stripes they were you why are they
asking for this when you said that
you’ve already done it you know it’s
just not smart to do that this is a what
I’m trying to get across that God has
anticipated every problem we could ever
have and before you ever had the need
God had already created the supply the
supply existed and if you’re born again
if Jesus has become your Lord we read
these verses already that you have
already received forgiveness God already
lives on the inside of you and
everything that God is and has is inside
of you you don’t need God to give you
something you need to draw out what God
has already put on the inside of you and
I’ve been reading through Ephesians
chapter 1 let me go down to verse 15 and
in verse 15 through the end of this
chapter Paul begins to pray a prayer
before I read this prayer let me just
ask you a question if you were asked to
write a prayer out for people 2,000
years in the future you know and Paul
wrote this it was nearly 2,000 years ago
and here we are reading his prayer today
if you were gonna write a prayer for
people 2,000 years in the future how
would you pray for them because I’ve
heard so many people pray I can tell you
what the majority of people watching
this program would pray you would pray
something like Oh God just blessed these
people God pour your spirit out upon
these people do a new thing Oh God move
Oh God and it would be all pleading with
God to do something some new thing touch
these people how is Paul’s prayer pay
attention to this Paul’s prayer isn’t
God do something God pour out your
spirit God move it’s
I’d show them what you’ve already done
that’s totally different
most of us are asking God to do
something he hasn’t done paul was
praying that we would get a revelation
of what Jesus has already done
he’s already provided everything in
verse 15 he says wherefore I also after
I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus
and love unto all the saints cease not
to give thanks for you making mention of
you in my prayers that the god of our
Lord Jesus Christ the father of glory
may give unto you the spirit of wisdom
and revelation in the knowledge of him
somebody right there says well right
there he’s asking God to give them
wisdom if you take it in context verse 8
says wherein he hath abounded towards us
in all wisdom and prudence God had
already given them when you get born
again you’ve got the mind of Christ in
your spirit 1st Corinthians chapter 2
verse 16 says they you’ve already got
the mind of Christ you’ve already got
wisdom
he’s just praying that God would draw
this wisdom out if you take it in
context you can see that so he says that
God would give unto you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation and the knowledge
of him and look at this in verse 18 the
eyes of your understanding being
enlightened in other words this is just
praying that you would begin to
understand what God has already done
he’s not praying that God would touch
them do a new thing pour out your spirit
give them faith give them a new
anointing do something you’ve never done
before no he’s praying that their eyes
would be opened to what they already
have the eyes of your understanding the
word for understanding right here is the
Greek word da Noya and it means deep
thought not surface level not just
intellectual knowledge but a heart
knowledge that their eyes would be in
line that they may know what is the hope
of his calling again I have taught on
every one of these phrases for 30
minutes to an hour at a time I’m
skipping through this very quickly but
the eyes of your understanding being
open to the hope of his calling we are
partakers of his
calling of his ministry I am
representing him you are representing
him Christ we have a union with him man
that that is awesome I wished I had time
to teach on that and what the riches of
the glory of his inheritance in the
Saints some people when they think about
the glory of God they want to picture
the throne in heaven they want to
picture the rainbow that surrounds the
throne all of the angels the twenty-four
elders the crystals see multitude and
all of those things are good in their
place but this is saying that your eyes
would be open to the glory of his
inheritance that’s in the Saints I’m not
denying that heaven is awesome the glory
of God is in heaven but the glory of God
is in you second Thessalonians chapter 2
says we’ve been called to the obtaining
of the glory of the Lord Jesus you now
have the glory of God in your spirit and
some of you are immediately looking like
where is it you look in the mirror it’s
not in the physical body it’s not in
your mind unless you’ve been renewing
your mind and drawing that glory out and
renewing your mind but it’s in your
born-again spirit you have the glory of
God
the inheritance is in the Saints it says
in Romans chapter eight I believe it’s
verse 18 that the sufferings of this
present world are not worthy to be
compared to the glory which shall be
revealed in us not to us but in us you
already have the glory of God and when
we get to heaven we’re gonna get a
glorified body and a perfect soul mind
that doesn’t have any limitations and
the glory that’s already in you is now
gonna flow through you in all of these
things but you’ve already got it in you
it’s not going to be revealed to you but
in you Romans chapter 8 verse 18 you
have the glory of God this inheritance
is in the Saints if for some reason you
had to replace if
you could just avoid the glory that’s on
the inside of you the power the
inheritance the riches of the glory of
this inheritance if you could just
somehow or another wipe all that out and
it had to be replaced it would bankrupt
heaven to replace what’s on the inside
of you
man you’ve already got this glory on the
inside of you but it doesn’t do you any
good if it’s just trapped in your spirit
and if it doesn’t come through your soul
if you don’t know what you’ve got and if
you don’t have it in your body if you
aren’t acting on it it doesn’t do you
any good but someday we’ll get to heaven
and we will have this glory revealed to
us and I believe that that’s one of the
reasons that you know God is going to
have to wipe tears away from our eyes
most people interpret that as we just
suffered so much in this life that we’re
going to limp into heaven and when we
get there we’re all going to be crying
because you know this earth life was so
bad but I believe it could also be that
when we stand before the Lord and all of
a sudden we get a glorified body and a
renewed mind and we understand what we
had the whole time that we had the glory
of God I had the same power on the
inside of me that raised Jesus from the
dead and I suffered with sickness and
disease and arthritis and this pain and
that pain and they say and I’d put up
with all of this when I had the glory of
God on the inside of me the whole time I
believed that there’s gonna be weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth and
God is gonna have to supernaturally wipe
tears away from our eyes not only
because of all of the hardship that we
had in this life but when we realized
that we live so far below our privileges
and didn’t take advantage of it I think
that there’s gonna be some weeping and
wailing and God’s gonna have to wipe
tears away from our eyes so in that 18th
verse he’s praying that you would see
that what is the riches of the glory of
his inheritance in the Saints and in
verse 19 and what is the exceeding
greatness of his power to us word who
believe according to the working of his
mighty power which he wrought
in Christ when he raised him from the
dead and set him at his own right hand
in the heavenly places far above all
principality and power and might and
Dominion and every name that is named
not only in this world but also in that
which is to come and hath put all things
under his feet and gave him to be the
head over all things to the church which
is his body the fullness of him that
filleth all in all
again I could take every one of these
phrases in each individual verse and
just amplify on these but the main thing
I want to get across is then verse 19
he’s praying that your eyes would be
open to the exceeding greatness of his
power towards us who believed the same
power that he used when he raised Jesus
Christ from the dead there are a lot of
Christians that think well yes I have
some power but I just don’t have enough
power Oh God give me power give me more
anointing give me more faith you know
there are people that will use
scriptures like in 2nd Kings chapter 2
where Elijah received a double portion
of Elijah’s anointing and he wound up
performing twice as many miracles and
I’ve actually been in churches where
they have double portion night and they
will come and you know let us anoint you
with oil and we’re gonna pray that
you’ll get twice the anointing now you
could get twice the anointing functional
in you but you can’t get twice the
anointing Elisha could get twice the
anointing that was on Elijah because he
only had a portion but we have the
fullness I just read this in the last
verse verse 23 that his body is the
fullness of him that filleth all in all
it says in John chapter 1 I believe
verse 16 that all his fullness have all
we received and grace for grace you have
the fullness of the God you can’t get
more full than full you can’t get a
double portion of all you didn’t get
just a little
bit of Jesus when you got born again you
got the whole Jesus you have the
fullness of the Godhead dwelling in you
bodily and you can’t get more so when
you say God I just need more of you I
need more power
I need more anointing I need more faith
I need you might need more operative in
your life but you can’t get more where
would God go to get more you’ve already
got the fullness of Jesus on the inside
of you where are you going to get
anything more than that see the reason
that we aren’t seeing the power of God
manifest is first of all we don’t know
what we have we don’t believe it 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 you need to start
using what you’ve already got we need to
get into faith instead of into unbelief
and it says that this power that has
come towards us is the same power that
he wrought in Christ when he raised him
from the dead you know I don’t know how
to express this but if you could hook
the power of God up to some kind of a
physical meter that could measure the
power of God like one of these vu meters
that you see you know swing over if you
could somehow or another put the power
of God to some kind of a meter I believe
that the creation of the universe was
awesome but it wouldn’t be near as great
as Jesus being raised from the dead that
would peg out that meter and one of the
reasons I believe that is because in
creation there wasn’t any resistance
there is no indication that Satan
existed at that time he was still
Lucifer an anointed angel that was
working for God instead up against him
there wasn’t fallen angels there was no
resistance to creation but I’m guarantee
you at the resurrection of Jesus Satan
had every demon out of hell every every
bit of force that he had was trying to
block Jesus being raised from the dead
so there was resisting
when it came to raising Jesus from the
dead and therefore raising Jesus from
the dead not just his physical body but
bringing Jesus out of hell with the keys
of death and of Hell dangling on his
side that was the greatest manifestation
of God’s power that there has ever been
you know the church that I attended for
a long time it was a large church that
had these musicals and plays and things
and in one of them they had a person
that was a personification of Satan and
when you know Jesus was being persecuted
by the scribes and the Pharisees and the
hypocrites this person in this black was
always there whispered in people’s ear
and it made a point that Satan was the
one that was inspiring all of this
opposition and when it came to the
resurrection of Jesus they had a tomb
there and they had a huge stone that had
been rolled over the playing and then
the resurrection morning came and it
showed Satan it showed this person that
personified Satan pushing with all of
his might against that stone that was
covering the tomb and then there was
this explosion and there was all of this
smoke and when the smoke cleared you saw
Satan laying on his back with this big
tombstone on top of him and Jesus
standing on top of it with his arms up
and of course it was just a way of
trying to illustrate that Satan and all
of his power was fighting against the
resurrection of Jesus and yet he
couldn’t stop it you have that raising
from the dead power the greatest display
of God’s power that has ever existed in
the history of the world that same power
is in you this is what he’s saying go
back with all of those things I’ve said
and remember this he’s praying that the
eyes of your understanding would be in
line that you may know what is the hope
of his calling what the riches of the
glory of his inheritance in the Saints
what is the exceeding greatness of his
power to us word who believe according
to the word according to means in
proportion to our to the degree
I look it up in a dictionary and that’s
what it means so we have the power of
God according to the power that he used
that he wrought in Christ when he raised
him from the dead and set him in his own
right hand in the heavenly places far
above not just above but far above all
principality and power and might and
Dominion and every name that is named
not only in this world but also in that
which is to come you are seated with
Christ in heavenly places you are far
above all of the devil’s power and
Dominion and principalities and again
see most Christians they know that there
is a devil they know that there are
demons they know that there is spiritual
opposition but the average Christian is
intimidated and afraid of the devil
because they don’t know what they
already have and they are asking God Oh
God give me power and they they will
even come to the Lord I’ve heard people
before Oh God rebuked the devil no he
said James chapter 4 verse 7 you resist
the devil and he will flee from you God
in the devil have already meant Jesus
beat him Jesus is now far above and you
are you have that same power and
authority you are now seated with Christ
in heavenly places you have that same
power and authority but if you don’t
know it and if you are saying oh god
please rebuke the devil for me it won’t
get done he said you resist the devil
and he will flee from you it’s not your
power it’s God’s power but it’s in you
and if you don’t use it it won’t get
done if you’re asking God to rebuke the
devil if you’re asking God to take this
sickness away to take this poverty the
way to take your depression away and if
you’re just sitting there passively as
if I can do nothing but God you can do
all things would you please touch me
would you do this you’re gonna die
you’re gonna be poor you aren’t gonna be
over your depression
because God gave that authority and
power towards you and you have to first
of all believe it again a verse I’ve
used many times Philemon 1:6 the
communication of your faith becomes
effectual that means it begins to work
by the acknowledging of every good thing
which is in you in Christ Jesus you have
to acknowledge that it’s there you have
to believe you have to know that you
were seated with Christ above all
principality and power and then you have
to use it and the power of God is
voice-activated proverbs 18:21 death and
life are in the power of the tongue
you’ve got to start speaking it out your
mouth and say Satan I resist you in the
name of Jesus you flee from me it’s
God’s power but it’s in me and I command
you I resist you and you have to flee
from me and only when you take your
Authority and start using it and
resisting the devil will that sickness
will that poverty will that depression
and oppression leave you you can’t just
say oh god please do it for me God has
done his part you’ve already got the
same power that God used to raised Jesus
from the dead living on the inside of
you if you are born again that ought to
be enough for your headache for your
sugar diabetes for your cancer for your
cold for your whatever the power that’s
on the inside of you is so exceedingly
great that it’s not even comparable to
the problem that you have I had a man
come to me one time and he asked if I
would pray for him and I said what’s
wrong and he said I got pain in my neck
it goes down into my shoulder down my
spine I got pain in my hip I got a
sciatic nerve and he described things
from head to toe all the way down to his
feet talking about his feet hurting and
he says but if you could just pray and
get the pain in my neck to leave I could
live with all the rest and when he said
that I just said well I understand I
said if we were to ask God to heal all
of these things at one time the lights
and have
my Tim I’m not sure that God’s got
enough power to pull all of this off I
mean let’s just ask him for a little
portion of this because he may not be
able to do all of and when I said that
this guy just said boy I was really
stupid what I said what I said it was
real stupid I said God’s power is so
exceedingly great that it is no problem
for anything from your head to your toe
we got a woman in our Bible College she
came to one of our conferences this year
and I forget the exact number but it was
over 50 something diagnosed problems in
her body that she was living with and
did you know she’s now in our Bible
school and I talked to her just last
week and I forget now but I think there
might be one or two things that she’s
still dealing with in just a couple of
months over 50 things diagnosed problems
in her body have all been healed God is
not short of power the power that is on
the inside of you is the same power that
raised Jesus Christ from the dead and
it’s more than enough for anything that
you need but you’ve got to first of all
acknowledge that you have it quit asking
God to give you something that you’ve
already got start thanking him that
you’ve got it start using your power and
start agreeing and the devil will flee
from you I’m out of time today but I am
