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 these same believers may 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.
> WHEN YOU WERE BORN AGAIN
IN CHRIST JESUS
YOU GOT EVERYTHING IN YOU
THAT YOU NEED, AND THE REST OF
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS LEARNING
HOW TO REST IN WHAT JESUS
> HAS ALREADY DONE.
>> WE ALREADY HAVE THESE THINGS
AND IT WAS JUST REALLY ABOUT
RESTING IN THE FINISHED WORKS
>> OF JESUS.
> AND NOW, HERE’S ANDREW.
WELCOME TO OUR THURSDAY’S
BROADCAST OF THE GOSPEL TRUTH.
TODAY I’M CONTINUING TO TEACH ON
A SUBJECT THAT I’VE ENTITLED
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT IT.
AND YOU KNOW
WE’VE HAD A LOT OF FUN
OUT OF THIS.
WE’LL HAVE PEOPLE CALL IN
AND SAY, I WANT THAT BOOK
THAT ANDREW’S TALKING ABOUT,
AND SO OUR PRAYER MINISTERS
WILL SAY,
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT IT.
AND THEY’LL SAY, I DO?
AND THEY’LL SAY, NO,
BUT WE’LL SEND IT TO YOU,
AND THEY SAY,
WELL, YOU SAID I ALREADY HAD IT.
THAT’S THE TITLE OF THE BOOK
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT IT
AND THE SUBTITLE IS:
SO QUIT TRYING TO GET IT.
AND WHAT I’M TRYING
TO GET ACROSS IS THAT
JESUS HAS ALREADY
ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING.
WHEN HE SAID ON THE CROSS,
IT IS FINISHED,
HE HAD PAID THE PRICE.
OUR VICTORY WAS WON.
HE IS NOW SEATED AT
THE FATHER’S RIGHT HAND,
AND HE IS NOT HEALING
PEOPLE TODAY,
SAVING PEOPLE TODAY,
DELIVERING PEOPLE TODAY.
HE’S ALREADY DONE IT
2,000 YEARS AGO
AND ALL WE ARE DOING
IS APPROPRIATING
BY FAITH WHAT JESUS
HAS ALREADY PURCHASED.
AND IF YOU BEGIN TO
UNDERSTAND THIS,
IT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
ONE OF THE THINGS IT DOES
IT TAKES AWAY THIS SENSE OF
I’VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING
TO MAKE GOD MOVE.
NO, GOD HAS ALREADY ANTICIPATED
EVERY NEED
THAT YOU WILL EVER HAVE,
AND HE’S ALREADY MOVED
BEFORE YOU EVER HAD A NEED.
THE SUPPLY WAS MADE
BEFORE THE NEED EXISTED.
MAN, THIS IS HUGE
WHAT I’M SAYING,
AND YET MOST PEOPLE
JUST CAN’T SEEM TO PUT THIS
INTO PRACTICE
IN THEIR EVERYDAY LIFE.
THAT’S THE REASON
THAT I’M ENCOURAGING YOU
TO PLEASE GET THIS TEACHING.
BECAUSE I SAY THIS
SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
THAT THIS WILL CHANGE THE WAY
YOU RELATE TO GOD.
LET ME USE AN EXAMPLE OVER
HERE IN GENESIS, CHAPTER 1.
I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE TIME
TO READ THE WHOLE CHAPTER,
BUT GENESIS, CHAPTER 1,
IS WHERE GOD
CREATED THE HEAVENS
AND THE EARTH.
HE CREATED THE DRY LAND,
THE MOON, THE STARS.
HE CREATED ALL OF
THE VEGETATION
THAT WE HAVE ON THE EARTH.
HE CREATED ALL OF THE ANIMALS
IN THE LAND AND IN THE SEA.
AND THEN HE CREATED MANKIND.
AND AFTER HE HAD DONE
ALL OF THESE THINGS,
LOOK AT THIS
IN GENESIS, CHAPTER 1,
AND IN VERSE 29,
AND GOD SAID, BEHOLD,
I HAVE GIVEN YOU…
NOTICE THE TERMINOLOGY,
I HAVE GIVEN YOU.
HE’S…HE DIDN’T SAY,
I AM GIVING YOU,
OR HE DIDN’T SAY, I’M GOING
IN THE FUTURE TO GIVE YOU
EVERY HERB BEARING SEED,
WHICH IS UPON THE FACE
OF ALL THE EARTH,
AND EVERY TREE,
IN THE WHICH IS THE FRUIT
OF A TREE YIELDING SEED;
TO YOU IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT.
AND TO EVERY BEAST
OF THE EARTH,
AND TO EVERY FOWL OF THE AIR,
AND TO EVERY THING
THAT CREEPETH UPON THE EARTH,
WHEREIN THERE IS LIFE,
I HAVE GIVEN,
NOT I AM GOING TO GIVE,
I HAVE GIVEN EVERY GREEN HERB
FOR MEAT: AND IT WAS SO.
AND SO I COULD GO
INTO MORE EXPLANATION,
BUT I’M JUST TRYING TO POINT OUT
THAT THE LORD DIDN’T CREATE
ADAM AND EVE,
AND THEN THEY CAME TO HIM
AND THEY SAID, GOD, I’M HUNGRY.
AND HE SAYS,
OH, WELL, I…I…
HERE LET ME CREATE SOMETHING
FOR YOU TO EAT.
NO, HE CREATED ALL OF THE FRUIT,
ALL OF THE VEGETATION
BEFORE MANKIND EXISTED.
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THIS?
WHY DID GOD CREATE MAN
LAST ON THE SIXTH DAY?
ON THE SIXTH DAY,
HE CREATED THE ANIMALS
AND THEN HE CREATED MAN,
SO ON THE VERY END
OF THE SIXTH DAY
RIGHT BEFORE GOD FINISHED
ALL OF CREATION
AND THEN GENESIS, CHAPTER 2,
SAYS, HE RESTED
ON THE SEVENTH DAY.
THE VERY LAST THING
GOD DID WAS TO CREATE MANKIND.
AND YET, THERE’S
MANY SCRIPTURES
THAT SHOW WE WERE REALLY
THE CROWN JEWEL
OF HIS CREATION.
WE WERE THE FOCUS
OF HIS CREATION.
HE CREATED ALL OF THESE THINGS
IN THIS WORLD FOR US.
RIGHT HERE HE SAYS,
I’VE GIVEN YOU
ALL OF THESE HERBS,
ALL OF THIS FRUIT,
ALL OF THESE TREES.
THAT’S WHAT IT IS FOR FOOD
FOR YOU AND FOR THE BEASTS
OF THE EARTH.
WE WERE THE FOCUS
OF GOD’S CREATION
AND YET, HE DIDN’T CREATE
US FIRST.
HE CREATED US LAST.
DID YOU KNOW IF HE…
IF HE HAD CREATED US FIRST,
WE WOULD HAVE
HAD TO DOG PADDLE
ON WATER FOR THREE DAYS
OR FOUR DAYS
UNTIL GOD CREATED THE DRY LAND.
IT WASN’T READY FOR US YET.
AND THEN WHEN HE SAYS,
LET THERE BE TREES
AND LET THERE BE
ALL OF THESE THINGS.
THOSE THINGS DIDN’T START
AS JUST LITTLE SEEDS
AND TOOK 100 YEARS TO GROW
INTO A MATURE TREE.
HE CREATED EVERYTHING MATURE.
HE CREATED ALL OF THE ANIMALS
FULL GROWN,
AND THEN THEY REPRODUCED
BY A SEED.
BUT MY POINT IS
IF HE WOULD’VE CREATED US FIRST,
NOT ONLY WOULD
WE HAVE HAD TO TREAD WATER
FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS
UNTIL HE CREATED DRY LAND,
BUT THEN WE WOULD HAVE
TO DODGE THE TREES
AS THEY WERE COMING UP,
THE MOUNTAINS AS THEY WERE
BEING FORMED,
AND THINGS LIKE THIS.
IT WASN’T READY FOR US.
HE CREATED US LAST
NOT BECAUSE WE WERE LAST
IN IMPORTANCE.
WE WERE FIRST IN…OF…
IN IMPORTANCE,
BUT IT WASN’T READY FOR US.
HE PREPARED IT SO THAT
WHEN WE GOT HUNGRY
WE DIDN’T HAVE TO SAY,
OH GOD, I’M HUNGRY,
AND THEN HE SAYS, OH WELL,
HERE, LET ME CREATE SOMETHING
FOR YOU TO EAT.
HE ANTICIPATED THE NEED
AND HE HAD SO MUCH FOOD
ON THIS PLANET.
YOU KNOW TODAY WE HAVE OVER
7 BILLION PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET
AND GOD HAS NEVER CREATED
NEW FOOD.
HE HAS NEVER CREATED NEW
SOURCES OF FOOD.
HE CREATED ALL OF THIS
IN THE BEGINNING,
AND THIS EARTH NOW IS SUSTAINING
OVER SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE.
IT COULD’VE DONE THAT
WHEN THERE WAS ONLY
ADAM AND EVE.
HE CREATED SUCH AN EXCESS,
SUCH AN OVER-ABUNDANCE
THAT IT WAS JUST AMAZING.
HE DIDN’T WAIT UNTIL WE NEEDED
TO BREATHE, AND WE SAID,
GOD, I’VE GOT TO BREATHE.
I’M DESPERATE TO BREATHE,
AND THEN HE HAD TO CREATE AIR.
NO, HE CREATED AIR
AND ANTICIPATED OUR NEEDS
AND HE SET IT UP
SO THAT THE TREES ACTUALLY
TAKE THE CARBON DIOXIDE
THAT WE EXHALE
AND THAT FEEDS THE TREES
AND THEN THE TREES PRODUCE
OXYGEN AS A RESULT
SO THAT THIS CLIMATE,
THE WHOLE EARTH
REPRODUCES ITSELF,
CLEANSES ITSELF,
AND SO GOD ANTICIPATED
ALL OF THESE KIND OF THINGS.
AND IN THE SAME WAY
WHEN YOU GOT BORN AGAIN,
GOD ANTICIPATED EVERYTHING
THAT YOU WOULD EVER NEED.
ANY HEALING
THAT YOU WOULD EVER NEED,
YOU DON’T NEED GOD TO COME
HEAL YOU.
I’M GOING TO BE SHARING THIS
IN MORE DETAIL
AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THIS,
BUT IN 1ST CHAPTER
OF THE BOOK OF EPHESIANS,
VERSES 18,
THROUGH THE END
OF THE CHAPTER,
HE’S ALREADY PUT
THE SAME POWER
THAT RAISED JESUS CHRIST
FROM THE DEAD,
RAISING-FROM-THE-DEAD POWER
ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
IT’S NOT OUT THERE
THAT YOU HAVE TO PRAY IT DOWN
AND HOLD YOUR MOUTH JUST RIGHT
AND SAY EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT
AND IF YOU DO EVERYTHING
AND PUSH ALL THE RIGHT BUTTONS,
THEN GOD WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.
NO, IT’S ALREADY
ON THE INSIDE OF YOU
IF YOU’RE BORN AGAIN.
YOU ALREADY HAVE
RAISING-FROM-THE-DEAD POWER.
HE ANTICIPATED
THAT YOU WOULD NEED THAT.
SO WHEN YOU NEED A HEALING
IN YOUR BODY,
YOU DON’T NEED TO SAY,
OH GOD, PLEASE HEAL ME.
1 PETER 2:24,
BY HIS STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED.
IT’S ALREADY DONE.
YOU AREN’T HEADED TO A VICTORY.
YOU ARE COMING FROM A VICTORY.
JESUS HAS ALREADY TRIUMPHED
OVER SICKNESS, OVER DISEASE,
OVER POVERTY, OVER OPPRESSION,
OVER EVERYTHING.
HE’S ALREADY WON THE VICTORY
AND THAT VICTORY
LIVES ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
THAT VICTORY IS NAMED JESUS
AND YOU HAVE HIS NATURE
AND HIS POWER
LIVING ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
YOU DON’T NEED
GOD TO COME DO SOMETHING.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
IS FIND OUT WHAT YOU’VE GOT
AND LEARN THE LAWS OF FAITH
THAT GOVERN HOW
THE POWER OF GOD
FLOWS AND ALLOW IT TO FLOW
OUT OF YOU.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG GOD
TO COME AND DO IT,
NO MORE THAN ADAM AND EVE
HAD TO BEG GOD TO FEED THEM.
OH GOD, HELP ME TO BREATHE.
NO, HE HAD ANTICIPATED
EVERY NEED
AND HE HAD MADE THE SUPPLY
BEFORE THE NEED EXISTED.
IN THE SAME WAY,
GOD HAS MADE THE
SUPPLY FOR YOU
BEFORE YOU EVER HAD A NEED.
IF YOU’RE FACING
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS TODAY,
IT SAYS, IN DEUTERONOMY 8:18,
THAT YOU SHALL REMEMBER
THE LORD YOUR GOD:
FOR IT IS HE THAT GIVES YOU
POWER TO GET WEALTH,
THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH
HIS COVENANT WHICH HE SWORE
UNTO YOUR FATHERS,
AS IT IS THIS DAY.
HE DOESN’T GIVE YOU
WEALTH SPECIFICALLY.
THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT…
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM
THAT YOU NEED
A FINANCIAL MIRACLE RIGHT NOW
AND YOU’RE JUST PRAYING
AND ASKING GOD TO JUST
GIVE YOU MONEY.
GOD DOESN’T GIVE YOU MONEY.
GOD GAVE YOU THE POWER
TO GET WEALTH,
AN ANOINTING TO GET WEALTH,
THE ABILITY TO GET WEALTH,
AND YOU HAVE TO OPERATE IN FAITH
AND THEN GO LAY YOUR HAND
TO SOMETHING AND DO SOMETHING
AND YOU CAN PRODUCE WEALTH.
BUT GOD,
HE DOESN’T HAVE MONEY IN HEAVEN.
YOU KNOW THEY PAVED
THEIR STREETS WITH PURE GOLD.
I MEAN GOLD TO US IS IMPORTANT.
WE PUT IT IN BANKS.
HE PUTS IT ON HIS STREETS.
IT DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING
IN HEAVEN.
MONEY DOESN’T EXIST IN HEAVEN.
GOD DOESN’T HAVE MONEY
TO GIVE YOU,
BUT GOD GIVES YOU POWER,
AN ANOINTING TO GET WEALTH.
YOUR HANDS ARE BLESSED
SO THAT DEUTERONOMY,
CHAPTER 28, SAYS,
HE WILL BLESS THE WORK
OF YOUR HANDS.
YOU GO SET YOUR HAND
UNTO SOMETHING,
YOU START DOING SOMETHING
AND GOD WILL SUPERNATURALLY
MULTIPLY IT.
BUT DID YOU KNOW
A HUNDRED TIMES ZERO IS ZERO.
AND THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE
ASKING GOD TO JUST
GIVE ME WEALTH
AND THEY’RE SITTING THERE.
THEY AREN’T DOING ANYTHING.
THEY AREN’T WORKING FOR…
THEY AREN’T WORKING A JOB.
THEY AREN’T LOOKING FOR A JOB.
THEY AREN’T DOING ANYTHING,
AND YET THEY’RE JUST
WANTING MONEY TO FALL
OUT OF THE SKY.
MONEY IS NOT GOING TO FALL
OUT OF THE SKY.
GOD IS NOT GOING TO COUNTERFEIT
UNITED STATES CURRENCY
OR ENGLISH CURRENCY OR BRITISH,
YOU KNOW, ANY…ANY NATION
ON THIS PLANET GOD IS NOT GOING
TO COUNTERFEIT YOUR CURRENCY.
GOD HAS GIVEN YOU AN ANOINTING.
YOU GO SET YOUR HAND
UNTO SOMETHING
AND HE WILL BEGIN TO BLESS IT
AND IT WILL SUPERNATURALLY
PROVIDE YOUR NEEDS.
BUT SEE, GOD ISN’T CAUGHT
BY SURPRISE.
IF THE DOCTOR COMES
AND TELLS YOU THAT
YOU’VE GOT CANCER,
THAT YOU’VE ONLY GOT
A SHORT TIME TO LIVE,
YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO TO GOD
AND SAY, OH GOD,
THE DOCTOR SAYS THIS.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
AND IT’S SOMETHING BRAND NEW
AND GOD, CAN YOU HEAL S…
HEAL THIS?
WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING?
NO, GOD HAS ALREADY
ANTICIPATED THIS,
AND HE PUT THE SAME POWER
ON THE INSIDE OF YOU
THAT WAS USED TO RAISE
JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD.
YOU DON’T NEED HIM
TO GIVE YOU POWER.
YOU DON’T NEED HIM
TO STRETCH FORTH
HIS MIGHTY HAND
AND TOUCH YOU,
AND ALL OF THESE PRAYERS
THAT WE PRAY.
NO, GOD HAS ALREADY
TOUCHED YOU.
HE’S ALREADY PUT THAT
RAISING-FROM-THE-DEAD POWER
IN YOU.
YOU KNOW, I’VE QUOTED THIS
A NUMBER OF TIMES.
LET ME JUST TURN OVER
TO EPHESIANS, CHAPTER 1,
AND START SHOWING THIS TO YOU
OUT OF SCRIPTURE.
IN EPHESIANS, CHAPTER 1,
IT SAYS, IN VERSE 1,
PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST
BY THE WILL OF GOD,
TO THE SAINTS
WHICH ARE AT EPHESUS,
AND TO THE FAITHFUL
IN CHRIST JESUS:
GRACE BE TO YOU, AND PEACE,
FROM GOD OUR FATHER,
AND FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
WHO HATH…
NOTICE THE TERMINOLOGY.
WHO HATH BLESSED US
WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS
IN HEAVENLY PLACES
IN CHRIST JESUS.
IT DIDN’T SAY GOD CAN BLESS US.
GOD WILL BLESS US.
NO, GOD HAS BLESSED US.
THIS IS THE POINT
THAT I’M TRYING TO GET ACROSS.
SO MANY PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT
GOD HAS THE ABILITY
TO DO THINGS,
BUT THEY DON’T BELIEVE
HE HAS USED IT YET.
THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE
TO ASK GOD FOR HEALING.
THEY HAVE TO ASK GOD
FOR PROSPERITY.
THEY HAVE TO ASK GOD FOR JOY,
FOR PEACE, FOR ANOINTING,
FOR ALL OF THESE KIND OF THINGS.
NO, GOD HAS ALREADY BLESSED US
WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS.
NOT SOME,
BUT ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS
IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST.
AND I’VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE
CHALLENGE ME ON THIS
AND SAY,
WELL, THOSE BLESSINGS
ARE IN SPIRITUAL THINGS.
YOU’VE GOT TO PRAY AND ASK GOD
TO BRING THEM DOWN
INTO THE PHYSICAL REALM.
THAT’S NOT WHAT THIS IS SAYING.
IF YOU LOOK THIS UP IN ANY OF
THE MODERN TRANSLATIONS,
I FORGET WHICH ONE IT IS NOW,
BUT IT ACTUALLY SAYS
THAT HE’S GIVEN US ALL EARTHLY
AND SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS
IN THIS LIFE.
THIS IS JUST AN OLD ENGLISH WAY
OF SAYING THAT GOD’S ALREADY
BLESSED US.
WHATEVER YOU’RE
ASKING GOD TO DO
HE’S ALREADY DONE IT.
IF YOU’RE ASKING GOD
TO HEAL YOU,
HE’S ALREADY HEALED YOU.
1 PETER 2:24, SAYS,
WHO HIS OWN SELF
BARE OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BODY
ON THE TREE,
THAT WE, BEING DEAD TO SINS,
SHOULD LIVE UNTO
RIGHTEOUSNESS:
BY WHOSE STRIPES
YOU WERE HEALED.
IT DIDN’T SAY YOU ARE GOING
TO BE HEALED,
YOU CAN BE HEALED,
YOU MIGHT BE HEALED.
NO, YOU WERE HEALED.
JESUS HAS ALREADY PLACED
THIS RAISING-FROM-
THE-DEAD POWER
ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
YOU KNOW I’M GOING TO CONTINUE
TO GOING THROUGH EPHESIANS 1,
VERSE BY VERSE,
BUT LET ME JUST JUMP DOWN
TO VERSE 19,
AND IT SAYS, HE’S PRAYING THAT
YOUR EYES WOULD BE OPEN
TO WHAT IS THE EXCEEDING
GREATNESS OF HIS POWER
TO US-WARD 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.
HE’S PRAYING THAT YOU…
YOUR EYES WOULD BE OPEN.
HE’S NOT PRAYING THAT
GOD WOULD GIVE YOU THIS POWER.
HE’S PRAYING THAT YOUR EYES
WOULD BE OPENED
TO WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.
YOU ALREADY HAVE
THE SAME POWER
THAT WAS USED TO RAISE
JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD.
THAT POWER IS NOT OUT THERE
SOMEWHERE THAT YOU’VE GOT
TO PRAY IT DOWN
AND ASK GOD TO GIVE IT TO YOU.
IT’S IN YOU.
YOU ALREADY HAVE,
IF YOU ARE BORN AGAIN,
IF JESUS LIVES ON THE INSIDE
OF YOU,
HE DIDN’T JUST PUT A TINY BIT
OF HIMSELF ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
HE DIDN’T JUST COME
AND PUT ONE FINGER
INTO YOUR LIFE.
JESUS, IN ALL OF HIS POWER,
IN ALL OF HIS ABILITY,
LIVES ON THE INSIDE OF YOU,
AND EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS,
AND EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN DO
LIVES ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
IT’S ALREADY THERE.
YOU DON’T NEED TO ASK GOD TO
OH GOD, PLEASE JUST GIVE ME
MORE POWER.
GOD, GIVE ME MORE FAITH.
I’M GOING TO BE TEACHING ON THIS
AS WE GO THROUGH THIS SERIES.
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT
THE SAME FAITH THAT IT USED
TO RAISE JESUS CHRIST
FROM THE DEAD.
YOU DON’T HAVE A FAITH PROBLEM.
YOU GOT A KNOWLEDGE PROBLEM.
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE,
AND THAT’S THE REASON
THAT THE WORD OF GOD
IS SO IMPORTANT
THAT WE HAVE TO MEDITATE IN IT
AND LEARN THESE THINGS
AND FIND OUT OUR TRUE IDENTITY
AND WHAT WE HAVE IN THE SPIRIT.
BUT YOU’RE ALREADY BLESSED
WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS
IN HEAVENLY PLACES.
YOU’RE ALREADY BLESSED.
AND YET HOW MANY PEOPLE
OH GOD, JUST PLEASE BLESS ME.
I HAVE PEOPLE COME TO ME
ALL THE TIME.
FOR SOME REASON
IT SEEMS LIKE THE AFRICANS
MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE.
I…I NEVER SEEM TO TALK
TO AN AFRICAN THAT DOESN’T COME
AND SAY, WOULD YOU PLEASE
JUST BLESS ME?
AND I ALWAYS QUOTE TO THEM
THAT YOU’RE ALREADY BLESSED.
WHAT CAN I DO THAT GOD
HASN’T DONE?
WELL, I KNOW,
BUT WOULD YOU BLESS ME?
AND YOU KNOW I UNDERSTAND
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING AND STUFF,
BUT REALLY,
IT’S A WRONG ATTITUDE.
WHEN YOU ARE ASKING ME
TO BLESS YOU, WHAT CAN I DO
THAT JESUS HASN’T ALREADY DONE?
YOU’RE ALREADY BLESSED.
AND YET, MOST PEOPLE
GO AROUND THINKING, I JUST NEED
A BLESSING FROM GOD.
I NEED A TOUCH FROM GOD.
I NEED GOD TO GIVE ME MORE.
I MEET PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME
THAT ARE JUST,
MORE, GOD, MORE,
OH GOD, GIVE ME MORE.
WELL I WILL SAY THIS,
YOU CAN OPERATE IN MORE
THAN WHAT MOST OF US
ARE OPERATING IN,
BUT YOU…
GOD CAN’T GIVE YOU MORE.
WHEN YOU’RE SAYING,
OH GOD, I JUST NEED MORE OF YOU.
YOU CAN’T GET MORE OF GOD.
YOU’VE GOT THE FULNESS
OF THE GODHEAD
DWELLING IN YOU BODILY
IS WHAT IT SAYS
IN COLOSSIANS, CHAPTER 2,
VERSES 9 AND 10.
AND YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM.
YOU DON’T NEED GOD
TO GIVE YOU MORE.
WHERE IS GOD GOING TO GO
TO GET MORE?
IT SAYS, OF HIS FULNESS
HAVE ALL WE RECEIVED,
AND GRACE FOR GRACE.
THAT’S OUT OF JOHN, CHAPTER 1,
I BELIEVE IT’S AROUND
VERSE 16, 17.
OF HIS FULNESS
HAVE ALL WE RECEIVED.
YOU’VE GOT THE FULNESS OF GOD
LIVING ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
WHEN YOU’RE SAYING
OH GOD, I NEED MORE OF YOU,
WHERE IS GOD GOING TO GET MORE
TO GIVE YOU?
NOW YOU CAN DRAW ON
MORE OF THAT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
YOU CAN RENEW YOUR MIND
AND LET YOUR MIND COME
UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE SPIRIT
AND YOU CAN WALK
IN MORE OF GOD.
YOU CAN MANIFEST MORE OF GOD.
THERE’S ALWAYS MORE OF THAT
BECAUSE NONE OF US
HAVE TAPPED EVERYTHING
THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US.
BUT FOR YOU TO JUST SAY,
OH I NEED A BLESSING.
I NEED MORE OF YOU.
OH GOD, GIVE ME MORE FAITH.
GOD, GIVE ME MORE JOY.
WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS,
GALATIANS 5:22,
THAT YOU HAVE LOVE, JOY, PEACE.
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT JOY.
GOD DOESN’T HAVE ANY MORE JOY
TO GIVE YOU.
HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY MORE GRACE
TO GIVE YOU.
HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY MORE PEACE
TO GIVE YOU.
NOW YOU CAN GET MORE GRACE,
MORE FAITH, MORE JOY,
MORE PEACE OPERATING IN YOU
AS YOU RENEW YOUR MIND
AND YIELD TO IT.
THAT’S WHAT THIS WHOLE TEACHING
IS ABOUT.
WE CAN TUNE OUR
RECEIVER TO GOD
BETTER TO WHERE WE RECEIVE
WHAT HE’S ALREADY GIVEN US.
BUT YOU DON’T NEED
TO BE BEGGING
GOD FOR MORE.
YOU NEED TO FIND OUT
WHAT YOU’VE ALREADY GOT
AND START USING IT.
I KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING
COMPLETELY CONTRARY
TO THE VAST MAJORITY
OF CHRISTIANITY TODAY.
MOST CHRISTIANS ARE IN
A CONSTANT STATE OF,
OH GOD, I AM NOTHING,
I HAVE NOTHING,
I CAN DO NOTHING,
BUT I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO
ALL THINGS.
WOULD YOU PLEASE
DO SOMETHING?
AND WOULD YOU TOUCH ME?
AND WOULD YOU RELEASE
YOUR POWER?
WOULD YOU HEAL MY BODY?
WOULD YOU SEND ME FINANCES?
THAT’S WHERE
MOST CHRISTIANS LIVE,
AND YET THAT’S NOT
WHAT PAUL IS SAYING.
PAUL SAYS,
BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
WHO HATH ALREADY BLESSED US
WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS
IN HEAVENLY PLACES
IN CHRIST JESUS.
YOU ARE ALREADY BLESSED,
BUT IT’S IN YOUR SPIRIT.
IT’S NOT IN YOUR SOUL.
IT’S NOT IN YOUR BODY.
YOU HAVE TO DRAW IT OUT.
AND HOW DO YOU DRAW IT OUT?
YOU FIRST OF ALL GOT TO BELIEVE
IT’S THERE.
I REFER BACK TO A SCRIPTURE
I’VE USED A LOT,
PHILEMON, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 6,
AND PAUL WAS PRAYING
FOR PHILEMON AND HE SAID,
I PRAY THAT THE COMMUNICATION
OF YOUR FAITH
WOULD BECOME EFFECTUAL
BY THE ACKNOWLEDGING
OF EVERY GOOD THING
THAT’S IN YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.
TO ACKNOWLEDGE
SOMETHING MEANS TO RECOGNIZE
THE REALITY OF,
TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT IT’S ALREADY DONE.
ACKNOWLEDGING SOMETHING
ISN’T ASKING FOR SOMETHING
TO BE DONE.
YOU’RE ACKNOWLEDGING
WHAT’S ALREADY DONE.
YOU HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
WHAT’S ALREADY IN YOU.
GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN YOU
EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE PRAYING
THAT HE WILL GIVE YOU.
IT’S ALREADY IN THERE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO DRAW IT OUT.
AND THE FIRST STEP
IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT YOU’VE GOT IT.
THE FIRST STEP IS TO BELIEVE
THAT I’M BLESSED,
AND YOU COULD SAY,
WELL, I LOOK IN MY CHECKBOOK
AND IT SAYS I’M NOT BLESSED.
IT SAYS I’M OVERDRAWN.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT
IN YOUR CHECKBOOK.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO FEEL IT IN YOUR BODY.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FEEL IT
IN YOUR EMOTIONS.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR
AND SEE BLESSED
WRITTEN ACROSS YOUR FOREHEAD.
BUT IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM,
YOU ARE ALREADY BLESSED
WITH EVERYTHING
YOU’LL EVER NEED.
HEALING, PROSPERITY,
DELIVERANCE, JOY, PEACE,
WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE;
IT’S ALREADY THERE.
YOUR SPIRIT IS PERFECT.
AND THE REST
OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
IS RENEWING YOUR MIND
TO WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
IN YOUR SPIRIT.
YOU’RE THREE PARTS:
SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY.
AND IF YOU GET YOUR SPIRIT
AND YOUR SOUL IN AGREEMENT,
THAT’S TWO AGAINST ONE
AND YOUR BODY JUST HAS
TO MANIFEST
THIS SUPERNATURAL ABILITY
AND LIFE OF GOD.
BUT IF YOU GET YOUR SOUL
IN AGREEMENT WITH YOUR BODY
GOING BY, WELL I DON’T SEE IT,
I DON’T FEEL IT,
I DON’T TASTE IT,
I CAN’T HEAR IT, I CAN’T SEE IT;
WELL, THEN YOU BLOCK OFF
THE POWER THAT’S IN YOUR SPIRIT.
BUT YOU’VE ALREADY GOT IT.
EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE ASKING
GOD FOR, GOD HAS ALREADY DONE.
YOU JUST NEED TO GET OUT
OF THE WAY.
YOU NEED TO GET
THIS CARNAL THINKING,
THIS STINKING THINKING
THAT BLOCKS THE FLOW
OF GOD’S SPIRIT THROUGH YOU.
IT SAYS, IN PROVERBS,
CHAPTER 23, VERSE 7,
FOR AS HE THINKS
IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE.
AND EVEN THOUGH
YOU’VE GOT THIS LIFE OF GOD
AND YOU’RE ALREADY BLESSED
WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS,
IF YOU DON’T KNOW IT,
IF YOU’RE THINKING I AM NOTHING,
I HAVE NOTHING,
I CAN DO NOTHING,
THAT’LL JUST SHUT OFF
THE FLOW OF GOD’S SPIRIT
THROUGH YOU.
IF YOU’RE THINKING WHEN IT COMES
TO HEALING, BUT I’M SICK.
HERE’S A DOCTOR’S REPORT.
MY BODY FEELS THIS.
IF YOU’RE ONLY GOING BY
WHAT YOU CAN SEE, TASTE, HEAR,
SMELL, AND FEEL,
THEN YOU ARE SHUTTING OFF
THE POWER THAT’S IN…
ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
BUT YOU DON’T NEED GOD
TO GIVE YOU HEALING.
YOU’VE ALREADY BEEN HEALED,
1 PETER 2:24,
BY HIS STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED.
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT
RAISING-FROM-THE-DEAD POWER
ON THE INSIDE YOU.
YOU JUST NEED TO BELIEVE
IT’S THERE,
LEARN HOW TO RELEASE IT,
HOW TO COOPERATE AND DRAW
THIS HEALING OUT.
IT IS SO MUCH EASIER
TO RELEASE SOMETHING
YOU ALREADY HAVE
THAN IT IS TO GO GET SOMETHING
THAT YOU DON’T HAVE.
I’M OUT OF TIME TODAY,
BUT I WILL BE TEACHING ON THIS
AGAIN TOMORROW.
I’VE GOT THIS TEACHING ENTITLED:
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT IT,
SO QUIT TRYING TO GET IT.
I TELL YOU
THIS WOULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
I’VE SEEN MANY, MANY,
MANY PEOPLE’S LIVES CHANGED
THROUGH THIS.
