Andrew Wommack – False Teacher
Bethel Church is becoming his favourite playground for spewing his heresy…
“God has already placed His healing power within us, and it is now under our authority. It isn’t up to God to determine who receives healing; it’s up to us!”
“The Lord never told us to pray for the sick in the sense that we ask Him to heal them. He told us to heal the sick.”
Andrew Wommack, Faith For Healing Is Based On Knowledge.
Andrew Wommack believes in the “Word of Faith” theology that conceives of faith as a force conveyed by words that bring about reality. If you say, “I think I’m going to get a cold” you will actually create the cold (unless someone else counters your negative words by saying something positive). All of this takes place independently of God.
In his series titled “The Believer’s Authority”. Andrew Wommack tells the story of when his infant son kept waking up all through the night with symptoms of croup so severe that he could hardly breathe. This happened every half hour all night long. Finally his mother said, “Admit it Andy, he’s sick.” Andrew Wommack said,
“Man I got right down in her face and stuck my finger in her face and I said, ‘Satan in the name of Jesus I command you to shut up. … And for two days she never said a word. We were on vacation. It was an awesome vacation – you can imagine.”
The Believer’s Authority (https://awmsa.net/product/the-believer-039-s-authority-e-book-pdf)
Andrew Wommack teaches that God gave man all authority on earth, so God Himself had no authority. The reason Jesus had to come in human flesh was to gain that human authority. He teaches that God had limited His own authority by giving it to man such that God was unable to speak Jesus’ body into existence. And so God had to find men to do it on their authority. It took God 4000 years to find enough men with enough combined authority to create Jesus’ body. Apart from the help of men God was unable to create a body for Jesus.
Andrew Wommack utters this blasphemy:
“When (people) see that some sickness, disease, tragedy comes into their life, instead of taking their authority and rebuking the devil and commanding him to leave, instead they go to God … and they beg God, ‘Oh God please change this situation. Oh God please get the devil off my back.’ And it’s not within God’s power and authority. He gave us that power and authority.”
The Believer’s Authority (https://awmsa.net/product/the-believer-039-s-authority-e-book-pdf)
2 Timothy 4:3-4 “3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

Mick. Paul of Tarsus said “a little leaven leavens the whole lump” and not I. He also wrote:
Of course there are a lot of incorrect teachings on trhe web. Don’t you know what Paul of Tarsdus said?
You seem to tolerate incorrect teachings.
I do not tolerate incorrect teachings, I weigh all things with the Bible. (It’s incredibly hard to have the entire Bible memorised in order to verify something so fast.) I have yet to find any preacher who never makes a mistake, who never says anything false. But I don’t write them off completely because of one or two statements they make: I ignore the things I discern to be false, and hold fast to the sound doctrine.
I am very well aware of Paul’s teaching that you quote, including that it is an extension of Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 16:12. I am also aware that Jesus even described the Kingdom of heaven as like yeast (Matt 13:33). I am also aware of John’s in 1 John 4:
I am trying to discern whether your teaching on this site is accurate. If I find one mistake, should I discard the entire site? Is misquoting a person, or taking them out of context, worthy of being called a “false teacher”, etc.?
Hi Mick.
As I said earlier, Andrew Wommack is a Word of Faith protagonist who believes your words have creative power – LIKE GOD. Is this part of the doctrine of Christ? – yes or no.
You are welcome to follow Andrew Wommack’s teaching but please don’t expose your wife and kids to his poison. You will have to give an account to God.
Dear Mike
The entire Word of Faith RELIGION is occult. Not just little erroneous doctrines here or there. You can not speak things into existence, like God – this OCCULT religion is based on the occult teachings of Law of Attraction. Word of Faith’s other names are Metaphysical teaching aka Christian Science or New Thought, or Latter Rain Movement.
