Andrew Wommack Quotes

Prayer is not trying to twist God’s arm to make Him do something. Prayer is receiving by faith what He has already done!

Jesus declared, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63).

Whatever we focus our attention on is what will dominate our thoughts (Proverbs 23:7). If our thoughts are dominated by the things of this world then we are going to get worldly results in our lives. We need to focus on God to get godly results.

Most Christians speak to God about their mountain instead of speaking to their mountain about God!

The heart attitude behind your prayer interests God much more than the actual words you say.

Individual sins (committing a homosexual act, doing drugs, getting drunk, etc.) aren’t what send you to hell. Your sins have been forgiven, but the sin that’ll send you to hell is not accepting the payment for those sins. Everything revolves around how you respond to Jesus.

As you spend time with the King of kings and the Lord of lords, His attitude becomes your attitude.

Boldness, confidence, and faith will rise in your heart as you realize that God’s supply is always greater than your need!

Complete salvation is being able to be so intimate with God that He’s your very best friend.

Faith works by the knowledge of the Word.

A minister friend of mine once said that as he carries his little girl around, she never has to say, “I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that my dad will not drop me. And I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that my dad’s going to feed me.” For that daughter, there is no striving to believe her father is going to be good to her. She just rests and relaxes in her loving relationship with him. She knows he is going to take care of her, because she knows him and his character.

Prayer is communion with God.

If loving and communing with God isn’t your primary purpose in prayer, you’re missing out on what Christianity is all about!

Looking into the brightness of God’s glory blinds you to other things.

Prayer becomes religious when you try use it for something God never intended.

Living holy doesn’t make God love you more, but it does increase your love for Him.

Eternal life truly begins the moment you’re born again. It’s a present tense—not future tense—reality. If you’re a believer, eternal life is now!

Prayer is receiving by faith what God has already done!

Christ already made full provision for the abundant life through His atonement. It’s now not up to Him to do, but you to receive what He’s done!

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13).

Eternal life is knowing God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ!

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6). He meant that there’s no direct connection between the two. They are interrelated, as you’ll later see, but spirit is spirit and flesh is flesh. You simply cannot contact your spirit through your emotions or your physical body. Herein lies one of the great problems of the Christian life! If you don’t understand that spiritual reality can’t be felt, then you’ll be confused when God’s Word declares that you have the same power that raised Jesus from the dead (Eph. 1:18-20).

Every revival has had a revelation of God’s grace. Each awakening has possessed an acute awareness of man’s need to forsake independence and acknowledge his dependence on God. Therefore, anyone desiring revival today must start with recognizing their own complete inability to produce right relationship with God through human effort and good works—both in the initial born-again experience and in day-to-day maintenance.

The revelation of God’s grace contained in Romans delivers believers from a performance mentality—which bases relationship with God on our own efforts—to a total trust and reliance upon the Lord, His goodness, and grace.

If you try to be a mediator today like Moses or Abraham, you are antichrist: against Christ, against His finished work, and attempting to take His place!

God desires all believers to be so familiar with His love that our approach toward Him is bold.

Faith is a powerful force, but you must believe in order to reap its benefits.

It often takes a period of time before what God has done in the spiritual world manifests in the physical world.

Faith is the bridge from the spiritual realm into the physical realm.

God instantly answers every prayer that’s based on a promise in His Word.

God’s Word is absolutely true; it never fluctuates or varies.

Your body has the ability to kill pain. Medicines don’t really relieve it; they just stimulate your body to produce endorphins. It’s the endorphins that alleviate your pain.

An intimate relationship must be developed over time, whether it's with God or anyone else.

God wants to meet your needs, but seeking to receive something from Him shouldn’t dominate your prayer life.

The Lord doesn’t want your service as much as He wants you. He loves you more than He loves what you can do for Him. Now, that’s an important point to make, because in our day and age—especially in the type of church atmosphere that I grew up in—it’s all about service, a push to do something for God. It’s true that you were created for God’s pleasure and glory, but God ’s acceptance of you is not related to what you do for Him. The Lord sacrificed Himself so He could have you, not your service.

Paul wrote the book of Romans as a letter to the Christians in Rome. These Roman believers were mostly Gentiles who had received the Gospel, been born again, and were committed to following the Lord. However, they were being troubled by Jewish believers who were trying to mix the Old Testament law with Christianity.

A lot of churchgoers in America think that merely believing God exists is enough to be saved, but the Bible says, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble” (James 2:19). In other words, it’s no great accomplishment to believe in God—even the devil knows that God is real. You have to do more than mentally acknowledge God’s existence; you have to submit yourself to Him.

Every revival has had a revelation of God’s grace. Each awakening has possessed an acute awareness of man’s need to forsake independence and acknowledge his dependence on God.

The seed of God’s Word must be planted in a person’s heart before they can be born again.

Nothing this world has to offer can even compare to experiencing God’s pleasure.

Jesus had to reveal what prayer was not, before He taught what it is.

God’s Word must come to a person and enter them in order to change their life.

Prayer is primarily for loving and worshiping God. If you would seek first His kingdom and just fellowship with Him, you’d find your needs already provided.

Your perspective changes when you put God first by praising Him!

You must learn to relate to God in the midst of your daily responsibilities and weekly routines because they occupy the majority of your life.

Don’t limit your relationship with God. Walk and talk with Him all day, every day!

God’s Word in the New Testament reveals the depth of His love and forgiveness through Christ.

Praying God’s solutions from the Word releases life, but praying negatively and focusing on your problems only energizes and strengthens them.

Prayer should not be so much about petitioning God as it should be about promoting our own spiritual growth.

In the same way you BELIEVED and RECEIVED salvation, so it is with your healing!

Your body has the ability to kill pain. Medicines don’t really relieve it; they just stimulate your body to produce endorphins.

God wants you to bless Him because it’s the purpose you were originally created for.

Wishing and trying aren’t faith. True faith must be present in order to give substance to your hope.

Prayer is communion with God. It’s fellowship, relationship, and intimacy with Him.

Your perspective changes when you put God first by praising Him.

And when he [Jesus] had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease” (Matt. 10:1,

If you pray, “Oh God, please have mercy. Don’t pour out Your wrath!” you have just pushed the Lord aside and declared, “Jesus, I know You atoned for us and that You dealt with sin. The Word says that You are the only mediator, but I think I can help. It’s also going to take my pleading and interceding to make things right!” You’re trying to add to what Jesus has already done! Jesus + anything = nothing. Jesus + nothing = everything. By attempting to intercede the way Abraham and Moses did, the way others in the Old Testament did, you aren’t esteeming what Christ has done and you’re trying to become a mediator.

Romans has literally changed the world. Back in the 1500s, Martin Luther became frustrated with all of his religious observances. When he finally despaired of ever earning his salvation, the Lord spoke to him through this verse in Romans:

Although it is true to tell someone that their sin has separated them from God and caused them to be worthy of eternal damnation, the good news is that Jesus came and bore all of our sin for us. We don’t have to atone for our own sin. We don’t have to become holy enough to earn salvation. It’s a gift.

We will be taking a look at why we have emotional problems, what solutions the world offers versus those the Word of God offers, and why God’s answers bring lasting results. God has equipped us through His Word to control our emotions—good and bad. We can walk in true emotional stability each and every day of our lives if our faith and trust is in Him.

Before God sends you on a journey, he will reveal to you something about that journey. He will prepare you for the problems and the things that you are going to face along the way.

Lasciviousness = controlled by what you feel. “Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness” (Eph. 4:19). There’s a godly type of feeling. You don’t just deny that your senses exist. However, most people have gone beyond simply receiving sensory input to being dominated by them. They’ve left what God intended feelings to be and entered into lasciviousness—where feelings run their lives. Feelings should be the caboose not the engine. They were designed to follow what you think, not lead the way. When you let the caboose act like the engine in your life, you’ll find yourself either going nowhere or heading straight for a train wreck! For a believer, this should not be!

Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Savior. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!

Do what the Word says! When you pray, praise God that your problem has been taken care of. Then, exercise your authority and speak directly to the problem. If you don’t, you won’t see your desired results.

Romans expounds the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ to both Jewish and Gentile believers. It’s written to everyone! Anybody who truly understands and embraces its message will be forever changed in the way they relate to God.

If the problem is pain, speak to it, saying, “Pain, in the name of Jesus, I command you to leave my body. Whatever is causing this pain, I speak to this part of my body and command it to respond so this thing can stop in the name of Jesus.” Talk to it! Jamie’s Foot

(Matt. 6:33). When you’re passionately in love with God, He takes care of you—supernaturally—better than you could ever take care of yourself! By literally living to love Him, you release powerful spiritual dynamics that positively affect the flow of provision in your life.

Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:22, 23,

When you were born again, He put His Son on the inside of you. You have the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, and more. (See Gal. 5:22–23.) Your spirit is always rejoicing, always healthy, always believing, always full of hope, and always exactly like Jesus is. The only reason you don’t benefit from it is that your mind is going more by what it feels in the physical realm than what you see in the Word of God. We trust what we see in a mirror more than we trust what we see in the spiritual mirror. We’re basing our life on external things—how we feel and what the situation looks like—rather than on the truth of what God’s Word says. My teachings entitled Spirit, Soul

Every person’s sins have already been atoned for. People aren’t going to hell for individual sins. They’re going to hell because they rejected the payment for their sins. They’re not only rebels and God-haters. Multitudes of religious people go to hell because they thought that by attending church, paying their tithes, reading the Bible, and trying to be good, they could pay for their sins. It is fine to do those things, but they falsely believed that God would accept them because of some worth or value of their own, without receiving Jesus as their Savior. That’s not accepting the payment for their sins. They are still trying to make up for their own sins. There will be many people like that in hell.

However, when God is truly the center of your life, everything else works out. The Lord makes it work supernaturally. I can’t explain how, but it’s a kingdom principle. When God prospers you, it’s effortless. Yet, I’ve met very few Christians who are truly in this divine flow. When your whole heart is simply “God, I love You!” you’ll find that He has many ways of working things out.

encourage you to pray this out loud right now: Father, my focus has been on the outside. I’ve been trying to stop all of these actions and clean myself up in order for You to love me. But now I see that it’s not this way at all. It’s just a matter of receiving Your love. Father, I want to know You. I desire to receive a spiritual revelation of Your love. Your Word says that the Holy Spirit will teach me all things, lead me into all truth, and bring all things to my remembrance that Jesus has spoken to me. Right now, I believe that You are revealing Yourself to me through the Holy Spirit. By faith, I receive Your unconditional love. Father, I ask You to break these feelings of guilt, shame, confusion, and condemnation that a works mentality has produced on the inside of me. Thank You for showing me Your supernatural love. Right now, I believe that a seed is being planted in me that will grow. As I meditate on these truths from Your Word, they are going to become a deeper conviction, a deeper revelation of Your unconditional love for me. I thank You that it’s Your love that will cause me to start living right. It’s Your love that will break these bondages in my life. I receive Your love. Thank You, Jesus!

Spiritual mindedness releases the flow of God’s life in you, but carnal mindedness shuts it off. Simply stated, carnal mindedness = death, and spiritual mindedness = life and peace (Rom. 8:6). “Death” means “anything that’s a result of sin.” This isn’t limited only to the ultimate physical death of your body but includes all of death’s progressive effects as well (i.e., sadness, loneliness, bitterness, illness, anger, poverty, etc.). In this fallen world, being dominated by your natural senses produces death. But spiritual mindedness produces life and peace! Jesus declared, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). When your thoughts are dominated by what the Word says, you’re spiritually minded. It doesn’t matter what your physical circumstances might be—God can keep you in perfect peace! “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” (Is. 26:3). As your mind stays on Him, your soul agrees with your spirit, and God’s peace is released into your soul and body. Your born-again spirit is always in perfect peace—it’s just a matter of drawing it out! On the other hand, you won’t experience the peace within when your mind stays fixed on your problems. Peace—an emotion—is linked to the way you think! Your lack of peace isn’t because of any circumstance or person; it’s just that you’ve allowed your mind to be dominated by what you can see, taste, hear, smell, and feel. You’re busy thinking about the potential damage, considering what the problem has done to others, and hashing through their opinions on the subject. All the while, God’s peace has been present in your spirit, but you haven’t drawn it out. Open that closed valve and let peace flow!

But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Eph. 4:20-24). Renew your mind to the Word, and put on the new man! Ephesians 4:24 plainly reveals that your born-again spirit—the new man—was created after God in righteousness and true holiness. You need to recognize and acknowledge your true self in God’s mirror. Right now in your spirit, you are righteous and holy! At times, you might think, I’m getting holier, but in reality, you’re just referring to your actions in the physical realm. The degree of holiness you live outwardly may vary, but the nature of your born-again spirit is righteousness and true holiness. That’s why you must worship Him in spirit and truth! “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). Your spirit is the part of you that completely changed. Old things passed away. All things became new. You cannot approach God unless you come to Him through the righteousness and true holiness of who you are in the spirit. You aren’t worthy to come into His presence based on the righteousness and holiness of your thoughts and actions. Even at your best, you still fall short of doing everything you should. Even when you’ve been seeking the Lord wholeheartedly, you still have negative and impure thoughts in your mind. No matter how hard you try, you’ll never measure up to God’s perfection through your own efforts in the physical, emotional, and mental realms.

Ephesians 4:18 talks about “having the understanding darkened.” If you don’t renew your mind and use it to study and meditate God’s Word, it’ll automatically gravitate toward what you can see, taste, hear, smell, and feel. This darkens your understanding. Understanding is the application of knowledge. “Knowledge” puts food into your mouth and chews. “Understanding” actually swallows and digests it so that the beneficial nutrients can be released into your body. The knowledge of God is critical, but must be understood to be useful. Without understanding, you can’t release the life that’s in it. When a Christian walks like an unbeliever, they get the same results—death. Believers who don’t understand and apply the knowledge of God in their lives gravitate toward carnal mindedness. Without spiritual knowledge and understanding, your mind can’t be renewed, and the life of God in your spirit can’t be released. That’s why understanding this revelation of spirit, soul, and body is the first step toward walking in life and peace! When a believer’s understanding is darkened, they are “alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart” (Eph. 4:18). In other words, the life of God is still there, but they are alienated from it due to ignorance, which refers to the mind. This is where most Christians live their lives—separated from the life of God within, due to their own ignorance of spiritual truth. In His Word, God declares that by His stripes, you were healed (1 Pet. 2:24). You look at yourself and ask, “Is that cancerous tumor gone?” Still feeling pain, emotionally drained, and fearful, you continue, “God says I’m healed, but I’m not. It’s still there, so I must not be healed.” By adopting that attitude, you’ve allowed your five senses to dominate you more than God’s Word. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in you, but you didn’t believe it (Eph. 1:18-20). You let your mind be controlled by what it saw in the physical realm more than the spiritual realm. Therefore, even though you have the resurrection life of God in your spirit, it won’t manifest in the physical realm because you’re carnally minded, which equals death.

Andrew Wommack and Curry Blake,

Your body doesn’t really control anything. It just goes with the flow of what it sees, tastes, hears, smells, and feels unless otherwise influenced by the soul. It’s amoral—neither good nor bad. Left to itself, your body just reacts to and goes along with what’s happening in the physical realm. When your soul agrees with your spirit, the life of God in you will manifest itself in your physical body. You’ll experience healing, deliverance,

anointing, victory, power, joy, prosperity—on and on it goes!

But spiritual mindedness produces life and peace! Jesus declared, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). When your thoughts are dominated by what the Word says, you’re spiritually minded.

God not only wants to forgive us of our sins, He also loves us dearly and desires to heal our bodies, bless us financially, and deliver us from discouragement and depression

and strife that you find yourself in. God will prosper you in a way that you could never accomplish just through your own effort.” If we presented the truth that God is not only for the forgiveness of sins, but for all these other areas too, then people would see that He is truly relevant to our daily life.

Everywhere Jesus went, He healed people. God the Father used these miracles to show people that Jesus had power on earth to forgive sins. This confirmed Christ’s message and proved the validity of His words. Since that’s the way God did it with Jesus, I’m following a good precedent.

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5

intimately.

Healing is part of Christ’s atonement. If Jesus died to provide healing for us, then it’s not just incidental. If the Lord suffered and took stripes on His back for our physical healing, then it’s not insignificant. If Jesus thought enough of healing to purchase it for us, then we ought to think enough

How then does God in His holiness fellowship with you if even at your best, you still fall short of His standards? He communes with you Spirit to spirit! You became a brand-new creature who is now righteous and holy. In your born-again spirit, you’re as pure as Christ is because His righteousness has been given to you. “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us...righteousness” (1 Cor. 1:30). Jesus Himself literally became your righteousness!

But chemical imbalances don’t cause depression. Depression causes chemical imbalances.

And while God certainly works miracles, miracles don’t come from the outside in. They come from the inside out. God created us to conceive miracles in our imaginations.

I’m not saying I do this perfectly—because I certainly don’t—but to the degree that I seek the Lord and keep my imagination focused on Him, I have peace (Is. 26:3).

But God has given us the seed of His Word to meet every need in our lives. We just have to conceive it.

God began renewing my mind through His Word. Then I started experiencing that same divine reality as before—only this time it wasn’t just in a physical, emotional way. The Lord revealed truths that changed my thinking and released His power in me. Joy and excitement came back again, but now they were based on understanding from the Word. I could recall Scripture and rejoice in it any time I wanted. In this way, God’s Word began to produce an abiding stability in my life!

We won’t see our real potential until we get beyond ourselves and get into a realm of trusting God for something supernatural.

God is going to call you to do something that is absolutely beyond your natural ability. He wants to do things in a supernatural way so it testifies of His glory and people will recognize His love for them.

Fear empowers the enemy; faith empowers God.

A third time the man asked, “Can you see?” But this time when the woman began to open her eyes, he said, “I didn’t tell you to open your eyes. You’ve got to see yourself seeing before you can see.” Finally understanding what the man was trying to tell her, the minister’s wife kept her eyes closed and prayed in the Spirit. “I can see it,” she said after a few minutes. “I can see myself seeing.” “Open your eyes,” he said. The minister’s wife slowly opened her eyes. She could see!

You cut yourself off from experiencing God’s life in you when you align your soul with what you can see, taste, hear, smell, and feel instead of what you perceive in the Word. What’s in your spirit must flow through your soul in order to get out to your body and the physical world around it!

The awesome truth we need to understand here is that the greatest temptation we face in life is success. Hardship is not the worst situation in our lives. Even someone with a minimal commitment to the Lord will seek Him when the pressure is on. Failure and disaster typically drive us into the arms of God. Success is different; it makes us feel like we can make it all on our own. When everything is going good and the pressure is off, or when we don’t have to seek God because it looks like everything is going our way, the contents of our heart will be revealed. Success, not failure, is the true test of character. The question is: Are you going to seek God as strongly during the good times as you do when you are struggling?

Every person who has been born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit has enough power and anointing on the inside of them to raise the dead, walk on water, and have their shadow heal people.

Grace and peace are multiplied through the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ.

God has given us all things according to the knowledge of Him. We receive all the fullness of God through salvation. We experience this fullness by renewing our minds with the Word of God.
