Andrew Wommack’s daily TV program: Gospel Truth To subscribe to Andrew’s email newsletter: http://www.awmi.net/youtube-subscribe/ Most people have lost a sense of destiny, God’s will for their lives. Many even believe you just can’t know God’s will—that in His sovereignty, He will make it happen regardless of what you do. Too long this viewpoint has kept Christians from knowing the full potential He planned for them. But no more. God created you with a specific purpose, and the good news is, He wants you to find it. This insightful teaching will guide you on your path to find, follow and fulfill God’s will in your life.

welcome to gospel truth with Andrew
Wommack celebrating 50 years of sharing
God’s unconditional love and grace and
now Andrew begins teaching from the life
changing Word of God about how to find
follow and fulfill God’s will welcome to
our Monday’s broadcast of the gospel
truth today I’m beginning a brand new
series entitled how to find follow and
fulfill God’s will actually this is a
combination of three separate teachings
that I used to make matter of fact when
we our product I don’t know if you can
see all of this on my table but I’ve got
three DVDs three CDs and it used to be
entitled how to find God’s will that was
one teaching how to follow God’s will
and then how to fulfill God’s will and
so we have the three different volumes
in CD and DVD but then I have combined
them all into one book on how to find
follow and fulfill God’s will we also
have this in Spanish and then we have
three different study guides on each one
of these so this is what I’m going to
begin to teach on and you know recently
we had my 50th anniversary where we were
just trying to praise God and show the
great things that God has done over 50
years of ministry for me but it really
all started when I was in high school
now I usually reference everything from
March the 23rd 1968 that was my first
year of being in college but it actually
started a year to eighteen months before
that when I was in high school and you
know until you graduate from high school
your life is pretty much planned out if
you’re here in the United States you’ve
got 12 years worth of your your
education that’s pretty much planned out
but then when you graduate from high
school you have to decide what you’re
gonna do and if you’re going to go into
college and and what’s your major gonna
be and so as I approach my senior year
of high school I began to realize that
you know I was going to have to start
making some decisions and one of the
things that was really really good that
I got in the Baptist Church and then I
praise God for is that I was
taught that I was not an accident that
God had a purpose for my life and I’m
gonna be emphasizing this and I’m gonna
be talking about this but this is true
of every single person watching this
program it is not up to you to just pick
and choose what you want to do but God
has a purpose for your life I believe
that and I’ve never really given it a
lot of thought because as I said my life
was planned out until I graduated from
high school at 18 years of age but
somewhere around 17 in my senior year of
high school I began to start seeking God
to find out what do you want me to do
what do you want me to do with my life
and this is the thing that got me to
seeking the Lord my senior year of high
school I started asking people at our
church I talked to the pastor I talked
to the youth director I talked to
friends teachers that were there and I
basically was asking everybody how do
you know what God’s will for your life
is and you know I didn’t get an answer
they would just say well you just have
to seek the Lord or one of the things
that I was often told was that you know
God just moves your life supernaturally
and things just work out kind of like
fate yeah God just moves you in things
work you know just because God is
sovereign and I don’t believe that
that’s true and accurate according to
the scripture I knew that if I didn’t
pursue God’s will I wouldn’t find it you
know Matthew chapter 7 verse 7 says ask
and you shall receive seek and you shall
find knock and it shall be opened unto
you everyone that asked receives he that
seeks finds to him that knocks the door
shall be open you have to seek you have
to knock you have to pursue the things
of God God’s will does not just
automatically come to pass in your life
it doesn’t sovereignly come to pass in
your life you have a part to play I
believe that but I didn’t know how to
get from where I was to where I could
really hear God’s voice and be led by
him and so in my senior year of high
school out of desperation I just figured
that in the Bible someplace there had to
be a word from God something some kind
of instruction that would
me in the direction that I wanted to go
and so for about a year or 18 months I
actually went and bought a five volume
set of Matthew Henry’s commentaries I
mean those things were like a
thousand-page each and it covered every
verse in the Bible and I read through
the Bible multiple times in my senior
year of high school just seeking God God
what is your will for my life and I say
all of this to say that this is what
really got me jump-started in my
relationship with the Lord I knew God
had a purpose what was it and it took
about 18 months of me just studying the
word in reading and then you will often
hear me talk about my experience on
March the 23rd 1968 that’s now been over
50 years ago and I had this miraculous
encounter with the Lord that just
instantly changed my life changed my
destiny changed my whole focus of
everything and I often start with that
and talk about that experience March the
23rd 1968 but it was really preceded by
a year to 18 months worth of just
studying the word and longing to know
God what is your will also if you have
watched these programs in just the last
few months I had a series entitled
taking the limits off God or don’t limit
God and during that series as I was
giving my testimony about what God has
done in my life and how that’s just
changed me I made many references to the
fact that you have to first of all know
what God’s purpose for your life is
before you can fulfill it you cannot do
this accidentally you don’t just fall
into the things of God you know I’m
still giving an introduction to this and
I’ve already said some things that are
so contrary to the way that the average
person thinks the average person
basically does their own thing and then
when they get born again they’ll ask God
to bless what they’re doing but they
don’t have any absolute assurance that
they’re doing what God called them to do
you know since that experience in 1968
God has been leading me and
I’ve been doing what God directed me to
do and as a result I never ask God’s
blessing on anything and huh no some
people think well that’s terrible
but if you’re doing what God told you to
do God would be unjust to command you to
do something then expect you to do it in
your own steam and power when you are
doing what God tells you to do there is
a supernatural flow there is a divine
flow that is just different than when
you’re doing your own thing and asking
God to bless it and one of the reasons
that some of the people watching this
program right now have not experienced
the power and the anointing the blessing
of God in your life is because you are
headed this direction and God wants you
to be going this direction and God is
not going to bless and empower you to do
something that is contrary to his will
it’s not because God doesn’t love you
but it’s because God made you with a
specific purpose in mind you know let me
share some scriptures with you on this
and and there’s a lot I’m gonna have to
really be rushing through some things
but I encourage you to please get these
materials because there is more than
what I can share in one program you
really need to get hold of this this is
foundational if you don’t know for
certain what God’s will for your life is
there is no way you’re gonna fulfill it
accidentally it just doesn’t work that
way listen to these verses in Psalms 139
and in verse 14 he says I will praise
thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made marvelous are thy works and that my
soul knoweth right well my substance was
not hid from thee when I was made in
secret and curiously wrought in the
lowest parts of the earth nine eyes did
see my substance yet being unperfect and
in thy book all my members were written
which in continuance were fashioned when
as yet there was none of them how
precious also are thy thoughts unto me O
God how great is the sum of them and he
continues and goes on and talks about it
let me share this with you out of the
NIV if I can get over there
my thought the phone went into sleep I
don’t know how to do it sorry I am
technically challenged but in the NIV I
did have it right here but the NIV says
that before you were even formed God had
written all of your days in his book now
there’s a lot of applications of this
but here’s one thing I want to say is
that you know today we have aborted now
over 60 million children in just the
United States and if you were to look
worldwide there are I don’t know
hundreds of millions billions of
children that have been killed because
people just think well that’s a part of
the woman’s body and it’s her choice she
can do whatever she wants to but this
says that God saw all of your substance
before it was even formed and while you
were still in your mother’s womb God had
written in his book what your days were
gonna be like did you know every one of
these 60 million plus children that have
been aborted in the United States God
had a plan for their life he had written
out what their life was gonna be like
now God has a plan for us he doesn’t
force that plan on us it doesn’t come
automatically I’m gonna be sharing a lot
of scriptures and showing this with you
but you know just one real simple
scripture that it’s easy to see this the
second Peter chapter 3 verse 9 where it
says God is not slack concerning his
promises as some men count slackness but
he is long-suffering towards us not
willing that any should perish but that
all should come to repentance that
states very clearly that God’s will is
for every person to come to repentance
and yet Jesus said that there would be
more people enter by the broad gate
under destruction than there would by
the narrow gate unto everlasting life so
it shows us that God’s will doesn’t
automatically come to pass
God doesn’t force us to conform to his
will all you’ve got to do is look at
your own life to see that God doesn’t
force you to serve him there are people
watching this program right now that
you’re doing things that you know it’s
not God’s will but you go ahead and do
it anyway God doesn’t force you to do
what he wants you to
but God has a perfect plan and even when
you were still in your mother’s womb God
had written down what his plan for your
life was and think about this
60 million plus children that have been
aborted in just the United States
60 million think what God’s plans for
each one of them was there could have
been some of those people that God had
planned to be the president to be
lawyers to be doctors to be leaders to
be all of these things men that it’s no
telling what inventions what kind of
things could have happened but see our
world today we just think no we are just
an evolved animal no we are just
something that happened our parents
didn’t plan us we just happened but this
says it doesn’t matter whether your
plant parents knew you were coming or
not
God knew you were coming he has a
purpose for your life and before you
were even born he had written in his
book but his plans for your life are and
somebody says well he must have planned
something bad for me in Jeremiah chapter
29 11 he says I know the thoughts that I
think toward you thoughts of peace and
not of evil to give you an expected in
the NIV says a hope in the future God
doesn’t have bad plans for anybody God
never made a piece of junk God has never
made anybody to just suffer and to
struggle God did not make you to be sick
God did not make you to be poor God did
not make you to be depressed and
defeated God’s plans for you are better
than anything that you have ever
experienced and I am Telling You that
according to the Word of God I’m gonna
be sharing many more scriptures on this
but according to the Word of God God had
a plan for your life from the day one
that you were conceived before you were
even born God had a purpose for your
life and it is not up to you to do your
own thing and ask God to bless it but
you need to find out what God’s will for
you is in Ephesians chapter five it says
don’t be ignorant but understanding what
the will of the Lord
man that’s pretty straightforward right
there and I’m saying this in love I know
some people might take offense at it I
don’t mean it that way but I’m just
repeating scripture don’t be ignorant
but understanding what the will of the
Lord is it’s ignorant on our part it’s
inexcusable on our part that’ll live a
life just doing our own thing and hoping
that it’s okay hoping that we’re doing
something that’s good in helping people
and hoping that this is what God wants
us to do and asking God to bless our
thing life is not a dress rehearsal this
is the real deal every day that the Sun
comes up you cannot call that day back
you’ve only got one day at a time and
you need to make sure that you are doing
what God called you to do you cannot be
wasting time and I know that what I’m
saying right here is unsettling to a lot
of people there are some people that
honestly you have numbed yourself you’ve
gotten into a routine it becomes a rut
you know what a grave is if a rut is
nothing but a grave with both ends
knocked out in other words you haven’t
stopped yet but you’re in a rut and all
you got to do is just put some bookends
on that and it’s a grave and that’s
where most people are most people are
just muddling through life they don’t
know for sure what God has called them
they don’t have a purpose they don’t
have a drive a direction and they’re
just getting up going to work and coming
home and they’re they’re bored and
they’re miserable they talk about blue
Monday going to work on Monday and
they’re so excited on Friday because
they don’t have to work anymore I’m
telling you if that’s describing your
life you have not found God’s will for
your life when you find the perfect will
of God when you are in the center of
God’s will there is a supernatural
satisfaction and peace that comes upon
you that you cannot get any other way
and I’m not talking about people that
are just rebelling towards God this
applies to them yes but even if you are
born again and if you love God with all
of your heart but if you aren’t going in
the direction that God has called you to
do he will place a holy dissatisfaction
in your life trying to get you to get
out of
that rut and move in the direction that
he wants you to go some of your praying
for peace and joy and yet God isn’t
going to give you the full measure of
peace and joy that he desires you to
have when you aren’t doing what he
called you to do I’m not saying that
God’s punishing you or doing anything
bad to you but it’s because he’s trying
to stir you up and let you recognize
this is not the direction he wants you
to go you know I could give you many
examples of this but a classic example
is I used to go to Charlotte North
Carolina matter of fact this year is
gonna be my last year 33 years I’ve been
going to Charlotte North Carolina every
September and ministering in a church
their freedom drive on freedom Drive in
Charlotte North Carolina and anyway one
of my partners in Matthews North
Carolina had a business and he would
always invite me to come speak to his
employees he had 30 to 40 employees and
he had telling the clocks running you
listen to this man and I just preached
him and man we saw miracles after we saw
great things happen anyway one year when
I went there I came out and there was a
woman an Asian lady who is sitting at
the reception desk and she wasn’t back
there with the rest of them so I stopped
to talk to her and I asked her who she
was she told me and she said who are you
and I told her my name and she says what
do you do and I said I’m a minister of
the gospel and her eyes got big she says
for who and I said for the Lord Jesus
Christ and she says you must be the one
and I said what the one what and she
told me that she was a Buddhist and the
night before she had been going through
her Buddhist rituals and just right in
the middle of it she just stopped and
she says God I know that there is a God
I know that you exist but I can’t
believe that this is it and she says
would you just reveal yourself to me
tell me who you are tell me how I’m
supposed to relate to you and she said
that this ball of light came right in
front of her face and it was just
pulsating and she knew that it was God
and she heard an audible voice say
tomorrow I’ll send you a man who will
tell you who I am and the
she says you must be the man and I said
I am the man and I got to lead this
woman into the salvation and into the
baptism of the holy spirit and it was
wonderful to see the way that God had
touched her but you know when I got out
into the parking lot and I sat in my car
I couldn’t even start the car for a
while I was just sitting there praising
God I was so blessed because when you
know that you are exactly where God
wants you to be he told that woman that
I would be there that I would be able to
share with her and tell her who he was I
knew I was in the right place at the
right time and I’m telling you that
there was a satisfaction there was a
peace that goes with that that you don’t
get when you’re out here just doing your
own thing and many of you you love God
you’ve been born again you want God to
use you but you don’t have a clear
direction you’re just hoping that what
you’re doing is OK you don’t know for
sure what God’s will is for your life I
am Telling You that you will never
experience the joy and the peace and the
satisfaction that you desire in your
heart until you find that sweet spot
when you know that you are doing exactly
what God called you to do not hoping so
not just assuming so but you have a word
from God and the good news is God wants
to reveal his will to you more than you
want to know it God had a plan for you
just like this says when you were still
in your mother’s womb he had written out
what he wants you to do with the rest of
your life
God doesn’t wait until you’re 20 and 30
years old and you’ve developed this
talent to be a mathematician to be an
accountant or you’ve got a singing voice
are you you know can speak in front of
people or you’ve got this engineering
abilities and he looks and says oh I
could use this no God doesn’t wait until
you develop and do something before you
were even born God had a purpose for
your life and God gave you gifts and
talents whether you’re a male or a
female where you what color you are what
may
you’re born in everything about you God
has designed it for a specific purpose
to accomplish something to do something
that nobody else can do you know I spend
over a million one and a quarter million
dollars per month on television and
radio time alone and then we have more
than that in salaries then we have the
materials but I’m spending a lot of
money a lot of effort trying to reach
out to people all over the world 3.2
billion people can see this broadcast if
they so desire but did you know that
despite if I was spending ten times that
much money there are people that every
one of you reach that I’ll never reach
there’s family members there’s friends
there’s people that you work with
that’ll never hear me if I spent ten
times as much money I can only do so
much every one of you God has placed you
in a place everything about you your
gifts and talents everything about you
is designed for a purpose it’s not God
just you know created you or you just
happened and it’s up to you to muddle
through life however you can know God
created you he has a purpose for you and
I’m telling you if you could find that
purpose you may not be called to do what
I’m doing but you have a realm of
influence that you are God’s messenger
into that situation God is wanting to
use you to touch people’s lives and to
affect them he has a purpose for your
life you know the people that I’m
speaking to it’s all over the world all
over the world and if every one of you
were to find God’s purpose and start
living in the anointing and under the
blessing of God and doing what God
called you to do this entire world would
be affected if every one of you were to
find God’s purpose you have other
people’s miracles on the inside of you
and if you don’t find that purpose and
if you don’t let the anointing of God
flow through you there’s going to be
people that God ordained you to reach
that will go unreached there are
people that are crying out to God for
help and you are the answer your God’s
answer but it’s not gonna happen
accidentally it doesn’t happen by fate
God doesn’t sovereignly just make
everything happen just like these
children here before they were even born
God had written in their book what they
should do and yet how many millions of
people that God is ordained to do things
didn’t even get the chance to breathe
because people chose to abort them I can
guarantee you that is not God’s will and
we can’t you know I’m dealing with that
I’m dealing with this abortion issue but
just for the moment setting that aside
what about those all of us had do have
life it’s a shame to have this gift and
then still not know what to do with it
and to do our own thing and ask God to
bless it I’m going to be teaching on how
to find follow and fulfill God’s will
