False Teachers Series

Andy Wommack has propagated his heretical, false doctrines through his worldwide cult network of Charis Bible Colleges. As in this post regarding healing, his damning, twisted theology gives his followers false hope of being healed.

The problem with Wolfmack’s false teaching that it is always God’s will for a person to be physically healed. There are many people in the Bible who are faithful servants of God, loved Him, and yet they were not healed. Paul himself, Galatians chapter 4, had a bodily illness. It’s a matter of physical record that not everyone who loved God, served Him in perfect health. Sickness is not necessarily a result of sin, but it is part of being in a cursed world and in a corrupt, mortal body, as Jesus was (Philippians 2:6-8, Hebrews 2:14).

Wommack teaches that it isn’t up to God to determine who receives healing; it’s up to the person! Just like Satan, Wolfmack wants to be a little 'god' and diminish God's sovereignty and put power and control of healing in the hands of man.

If it is always God’s will to be healed and a person prays for that healing, but the healing does not come, then, there’s only one person who could bear the blame, because it cannot be God’s fault - He is perfect. The only other one then to whom to look is one whose sick. It’s his fault, it’s her fault, they don’t have enough faith. They haven’t sown a big enough seed into the ministry so they can reap a harvest. Maybe they’re not saved. Of course Wolfmack blames the person and implies that if healing doesn’t happen, they failed to renew their mind or they are not a 'believing believer'.

God does grant physical healing to people today, but only when it is His sovereign will to do so. The fact of the matter, though, is that when He does grant physical healing, it is much more the exception than the rule. But God does heal and so if you are sick, if you have a loved one who is sick, there is nothing at all wrong with praying that God would heal you or your sick loved one.

Never forget that sometimes God is most glorified in us when we suffer. Sometimes He is most glorified in us when we suffer. God does still physically heal people today, but only when it is His sovereign will to do so. When God does that, He doesn’t do it just for the comfort of the individual who’s sick. He does it to glorify Himself and further His purposes. He is not doing it through Andrew Wommack.

If God does not bring healing, rest assured knowing that this is His sovereign will for your life and He will use that to sanctify you, to sanctify me, to conform us more to the image of His Son. He will sanctify us through that and ultimately He will glorify Himself, He will glorify Himself. God sometimes is most glorified when a watching world looks at a sick believer or a persecuted believer. When the lost world looks at suffering Christians, and yet they remain faithful to Christ, they still glorify Christ, they still tell others about Christ. God’s glorified in that. His grace is sufficient. His cross is sufficient.
