Teaching Articles

Decades ago, I was participating in an all-night prayer meeting bombarding the gates of heaven. I remember beating the wall and yelling,“God, if You loved the people in Arlington, Texas, half as much as I do, we’d have revival!” Immediately, my lightning-fast...More

Elijah wasn’t perfect; yet he called fire down from heaven three times; he was the first person to raise someone from the dead; he caused the greatest revival in history up to that point; his word started and ended a three-year drought; he multiplied food ... More

Kneeling beside my bed, I began to pray, “How can I ever be like You? How can I fulfill what You have placed in my heart to do? I don’t know where to begin.” As I opened my eyes, I saw my Bible lying on the bed in front of me, and then I heard the... More

Have you ever been mad at God? Certainly, everyone has had anger rise up against a person. And there are a lot of people who are angry with themselves. Anger is a problem all of us have to deal with. Many people come from backgrounds... More

This last July, we celebrated our 27th anniversary of the incorporation of Andrew Wommack Ministries with a special television broadcast. In that program, we reported on many of our outreaches... More

Is there someone in your life who just rubs you the wrong way? If there is, it may surprise you to learn that it's not really that person who is creating the rub. There is someone else at work, your real enemy, and he may be using them in an... More

It’s true that we serve a God of miracles. But brace yourself, because what I am going to say about that will come as a total shock to some of you. The Lord’s preference is not to meet your needs through a miracle. Now before you think... More

I think all Christians would agree that we should be praying for our nation during this critical time in our history. Judicial activists are no longer interpreting the law but attempting to legislate from the bench. By using these activist judges... More

I have been blessed of the Lord to pray for thousands of people and see awesome miracles. It thrills me to see a person instantly healed or set free... More

Every person views their life through a filter. For example, an optimist sees opportunity in every situation they face, while a pessimist can only see defeat and failure. Both could be facing the same circumstances, but how they filter things determines... More

I want to share with you a brand-new teaching I've entitled Christian Philosophy II. This goes beyond the theological issues I dealt with in the first teaching, and it expounds on a Christian way of thinking and moral and social issues of our day such... More

The word myth is defined by Webster’s Dictionary this way: “A real or fictional story that appeals to the consciousness of a people by embodying its cultural ideals or by giving expression to commonly felt emotions.” That definition expresses exactly what... More

Everyone faces temptation. But the truth is, very few people deal with it effectively. That shouldn’t be the case, and it doesn’t have to be the case for believers. There are some very simple and effective ways of dealing with temptation... More

Most Christians believe that the primary purpose of salvation is to avoid hell. That may have been what you were taught, but it’s not what the Bible teaches. In fact, that kind of thinking serves to inoculate people from the truth of the Gospel concerning... More

You may not know about the second most important experience I've had with the Lord. There isn't space to write the whole story here, so I'll give it to you in a nutshell. On January 31, 2002 the Lord powerfully spoke to me through Psalm 78:41... More

Most Christians believe that praising God and being thankful is good; however, many think it is optional, something to do after they have served the Lord in other ways. Some Christians only praise God when their circumstances are good and they have a... More

Kneeling beside my bed one day in 1968, I began to pray, “Lord, what do I have to do to get from where I am to where you want me to be?” I opened my eyes, and as I saw my Bible lying on the bed in front of me, I heard the Lord say this... More

I once had an employee ask me what my most important teaching was. I didn’t know how to answer. I think they’re all important. Everything the Lord has shown me works together with other truths to make a whole. I said I couldn’t single out just... More

Would you like to see the blind receive their sight or the lame walk when you pray? Do you desperately need healing yourself? Here’s the good news—whether you’re praying for another’s healing or receiving your own, it’s available to every... More

These verses say that all things that pertain unto life and godliness are given unto us through the knowledge of God. Certainly, faith must be one of those things because without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6). So faith must come... More

Without faith it's impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6), so our relationship with the Lord is dependent on it. Faith is what brings the things God has provided for us from the spiritual realm into the physical realm (Heb. 11:1). Our faith is the victory... More

A survey conducted by the Barna Research Group in December of 2008 says that 20 percent of Americans have decreased their giving as a way of dealing with the current financial hardships. Twenty-two percent of that group have stopped... More

Did you know there is more written in the Bible about finances than there is on heaven and hell, prayer, or faith? Jesus taught more about this subject than any other, so it’s obvious that our stewardship of money is very important to God... More

There are very few things in our world today that were ever a part of God's perfect plan for mankind. The elaborate government systems, with all their checks and balances and laws, would not be necessary if it were not for the corruption that sin produced. The... More

Many years ago, the Lord dealt with me strongly using the life of Moses about His timing for His will. We can't speed up His timing but we can slow it down. When Moses killed the Egyptian who was oppressing one of his Jewish brethren, he was... More

A true revelation of God’s Word is the single most important element of a victorious Christian life. The Word of God often refers to itself as a seed. There are a total of forty-four verses in the New Testament where the Greek word “sperma”... More

Most Christians today have not been able to take full advantage of their redemption because of a lack of understanding God's grace. They believe God has the power to meet their needs, but they doubt God's willingness to use that... More

Many people around the world who embrace “Christianity” have never heard the true Gospel. They believe Christianity is nothing but a different set of rules, substituting Christian “dos and don’ts” for... More

I used to think people with hard hearts were God-haters or, at the least, people in rebellion to Him. That’s what I used to think until the day the Lord told me I had a hard heart... More

The Bible teaches us that our thoughts are the determining factor which controls our actions. Proverbs 23:7 says, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." Romans 8:6 says, "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and... More

I don't know anyone who wants to be sick. Everyone wants to be healthy. That's evident in the huge amount of money that flows into hospitals, doctors' offices, and pharmacies. People will do just about anything to retain or regain their health... More

Over the last forty years of teaching the Bible, I have learned some interesting things about how Christians determine what they believe. Unfortunately, one of the things I've learned is that many Christians never let the Bible... More

Her name is Grace, but she didn't understand what "grace" meant. In fact, those who attended her church called her "the Judge". She drove the people from her church when they sinned, often telling... More

There are few things more controversial in the body of Christ than the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the accompanying gifts that the Holy Spirit gives. Much of modern-day Christianity sees the born-again experience as all there is. Therefore, many... More

Happiness is a universal pursuit. There is no language, culture, race, or religion that doesn’t share this common goal. Everyone wants to be happy. God made us this way. It is God’s will for us to be happy. Why then are so many people unhappy... More

Recently one of my employees told me about a man she met at a business near our office. When the man found out that this employee worked for me, he said that about thirty years ago, he had given one of my tapes to his niece who was living a very ungodly... More

I've been through some rough times since 1968 when I first started in ministry. I've often felt like giving up. In fact, many people I knew in those days thought that I should. But Jamie and I stuck it out, and we now see countless lives... More

Many of you probably know the story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath. I'd like to point out something in this story that you may've missed. It's a key to fulfilling God's will for your life.... More

No one is immune to doubt. It can and does happen to us all. You’ve just got to know how to handle it when it comes. Even the greatest men and women of God recorded in the Bible had to deal with doubt... More

Relatively few people are determined to do evil. They don't wake up in them orning seeking ways to transgress. Rather, they fall into sin because they have not prepared their hearts to seek the Lord. This passage in 2 Chronicles 12:14 is speaking... More

A miracle — the supernatural intervention of God. All of us have needed a miracle in the past, need one now, or will need of one in the future. The problem is that most Christians don't know how to receive a miracle from God. The best advice is don't wait... More

Most of us have had times when we have prayed a prayer of faith, and our prayers seemed to go unanswered. Maybe you got into the Word of God, planted a seed, and prayed for a miracle. Then, nothing happened. The problem is that... More

The dictionary defines "grief" as, "deep sadness, as over a loss; sorrow" (NAHD). This is not limited to, but certainly includes, the loss of a loved one. It includes the sense of loss that many feel for those who died in the terrorist attacks. People grieve over... More

I believe that one of the biggest reasons that the body of Christ hasn't made a greater impact on our generation today is because of our failure to operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Without a doubt, Jesus and the first apostles used the gifts like a... More

One of the greatest benefits of our salvation has to be that of hearing God speak to us personally. There can be no intimate relationship with our heavenly Father without it. But, as easy as it is for us to speak to Him, the average Christian has a hard time... More

Would God send His only Son to bear our sin, becoming sin itself, and then judge Him without mercy for that sin if His sacrifice wasn’t enough? No! Yet, many Christians act as though it wasn’t enough and continue to... More

The Word of God is awesome! It has all the power we will ever need for every situation in our lives (Heb. 4:12). All we have to do is mix it with faith and, praise God, a miracle (Heb. 4:2)! I know many of you are thinking, It isn’t that easy... More

If I were to ask a group of people what’s the greatest thing in life, I would probably get as many answers as there were people. Certainly many things contribute to a full and happy life, but I hope all believers would agree that... More

Elijah just appears on the scene in 1 Kings 17:1. Little introduction is given to this man who was one of the greatest prophets in the Bible. He didn't come from a family of prophets and there is no indication that he had connections that would... More

How many of life’s lessons have you learned through the "school of hard knocks"? I’ve certainly learned a few that way. They make great testimonies—if you survive them, but I don’t recommend it. There’s a better way! God’s Word... More

Did you realize that the virgin birth of Jesus was totally normal in every respect except one? Mary didn’t become pregnant without contact with a seed. The laws of reproduction that God created weren’t suspended. Everything was exactly like all the millions... More

At our Helpline, prayer ministers often pray with callers for healing. As a result, we receive good reports of God's faithfulness. We want to build your faith by sharing testimonies of God's healing power. In January, a woman called to request... More

At our Gospel Truth Seminars, I always take time before meetings to talk with friends and partners. One of the most common questions I’m asked is, “What do I need to do to receive the blessings of God?” It is usually followed... More

If you have listened to any of my teachings, you’ve heard me speak about the love of God. That’s what changed my life. The titles, subjects, and Scripture references of my albums are all different, but I’m always teaching about some... More

One of the leading evangelists of our day has been quoted as saying that he believes only fifteen percent of professing Christians are truly born again. That’s a startling statement! I’m not sure that’s accurate, but I certainly believe... More

There are a number of keys to seeing the miraculous power of God manifest on a consistent basis. One of the least understood, and therefore seldom practiced, is the fact that healing is under the authority of the believer. God has... More

This thorn in the flesh that Paul mentioned has been used and misused by Christians to justify submitting to nearly any problem that comes along. Satan has twisted this passage of Scripture to deceive many, many people into believing that God would not... More

Most people have been led to believe that self-doubt, self-condemnation, feelings of unworthiness, and conviction for individual sins are the work of the Holy Spirit. But it’s just not true! Those of you who are... More

Proverbs 18:16 says, "A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men," but it’s not talking about skills, talents, abilities, or even anointing. I used to think it was, as a matter of fact; I used that verse in that... More

I’ve been waiting two years to write this letter. It was two years ago, October of 2005, that I was holding a series of meetings in Scotland. The avian flu virus (bird flu) hit with all its force. The authorities were killing birds by the... More

Psychology has its roots in ancient philosophers like Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato. None of these men were worshipers of the true and living God. At best, they believed in a god that was not involved in the affairs of men, and at worse they worshiped... More

Many people think faith is acting like something is so when it really isn’t so, and if we do that long enough, then it will become so. But that’s not it at all. Faith is real. Faith is substance. This is saying that faith is real. It is the... More

I'm going to begin this by dropping a bomb: Sin is no longer an issue with God; we are redeemed! With that statement, you are either rejoicing, shocked, or confused. That is one radical statement, but one I believe I can back up by the Word of God... More

Genesis 3 relates one of the most amazing stories in the Bible. Eve was convinced by a talking snake that she didn't have everything she needed to make her happy. How could this happen? It's understandable how people today are discontent and looking... More

One of the most needed things among the body of Christ today is revelation knowledge of the Word of God. To understand what revelation knowledge is and how to get it functional in your life, you have to know at least some of the basics about your spirit... More

If you've been a partner with us for very long, you have no doubt been impacted by the grace of God. That's what transformed my life, and I know I have been specifically called to bring a revelation of God's grace to this generation. I believe that this is the... More

God created us to live our lives focused on Him. His purpose from the very beginning was that we should be “God-conscious,” not “self-conscious.” Until Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they... More

My heart was really stirred this last month. I attended a meeting where an old friend of mine was ministering. He had been through some terrible things that nearly destroyed his faith. He became bitter and angry at God for the things that had happened. When... More

Eaters are those who are using their finances primarily for their needs. Sowers are those who use their finances primarily to give to others. This is about the attitude of the heart toward giving. Those who desire more money so they can get more... More

The only power that Satan has is the power of deception, and the worst thing about deception is that you don't know you're being deceived. Otherwise, it wouldn't be deception. Once the truth is received, deception loses all its power. Therefore.... More

I remember the first time Jamie and I heard preaching on prosperity. The message was great, and we needed to hear it again and again. But we couldn't afford to buy even one tape. Jamie... More

Do you ever feel like you and God have drifted apart and that the love and joy you once experienced with Him has faded? If you do, you’re not alone. Most Christians feel like the experiences they have with God diminish over time and that they need another... More

A true revelation of God’s Word is the single most important element of a victorious Christian life. The Word of God often refers to itself as a seed. There are a total of forty-four verses in the New Testament where the Greek word sperma was translated... More

It's always important to have an attitude of thankfulness, but this special season of Thanksgiving reminds us to look back and think about what God has done. As Jamie and I look back... More

As you all know, these sentiments have been expressed many times over by the media in the last few months. Many are even comparing our current financial situation to the Great Depression... More

God is a good God! He isn't mad at us. He not only loves us, He likes us! He will never leave us nor forsake us, no matter how badly we miss it. His mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness! These are radical statements! They go contrary... More

One year at our annual Charis Bible College Expand Your Vision Weekend, as I was worshiping the Lord, I just knew in my heart that the Lord had entered the room. I didn’t feel it, I just knew it. I knew He had walked into the auditorium through the... More

Did you know that most Christians still believe their relationship with God is dependent on their performance? They believe answered prayers and God's blessing in their lives are in direct proportion to their holiness and ability to... More

Ever since the fall of Adam, man has been trying to find a way back to God. There is a longing within every person to be back in the image that God created them in. There is a knowledge that there must be something more. The religions of the world... More

During a Sunday morning service in St. Joseph, Missouri, a few years back, I asked the congregation how many of them really want to please God more than anything else. Every hand went up. Then I asked them, "How many of you think God is... More

All of us have had experiences when it didn't look like our prayers were answered. But is that really what happened? The Bible says in Matthew 7:7, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Is that... More

In one of my meetings the Lord led me to answer life’s three biggest questions. They are: where did I come from, who am I, and where am I going. I have found that most people have never answered these questions satisfactorily... More

Most Christians believe the answer to that question is obvious: “God created Satan.” But that is not really true. God created Lucifer. That may seem like a small distinction at first glance, but once you understand who really made Satan, it will change your... More

If I were to ask you "Do you know who you are?" your immediate answer would be, "Of course I do." But can you imagine what it would be like if suddenly you lost all memory of your name, where you lived, who was your husband or wife, your... More

The word "righteousness" has become a religious cliché that has lost its meaning to many people. Even Christians are confused about what righteousness is and how to receive it. This has left our society without a clear understanding... More

When God speaks, His words are binding; they’re like an unbreakable contract.He always says exactly what He means, He never lies, and He never says, “Oops, I’ve changed my mind.” Hebrews 1:3 says,“Upholding all things by the word of his power.”... More

On March 23, 1968 I had a miraculous encounter with the Lord that changed my life forever. Instantly I received “revelation knowledge” that I’m still trying to understand and communicate today. This knowledge... More
