					<description><![CDATA[I agree that you do not know Wommack from Adam.

The belief that &quot;God wants you well&quot; and &quot;God provides divine health and healing&quot; (two typical Wommack maxims) could be harmful to your friend who is seriously ill and even cost her her life. Let me explain through an example. Pentecostalism has a long history of failed so-called divine healings. A. B. Simpson was the founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. He was a keynote speaker at many of their conferences. The Bethshan Conference on Holiness and Healing in London (1885) is regarded by many as a turning point in the origins of the modern Pentecostal movement. A. B. Simpson taught that saints who use doctors’ prescribed medicine were apostatizing their faith in God. Three young missionaries to Sudan who were influenced by his abominable teaching died in 1890 when they refused to take medicine. If God sent them to Sudan to preach the Gospel of salvation to the lost, it was Satan through A. B. Simpson who prevented perhaps hundreds of souls from getting saved, because Satan is a murderer (John 8:44), not God.

Why did they and so many others to this day refuse to take medicine? Well, they are told &quot;God wants you healed&quot; and then, after they had lain their hands on the sick, the sick are told that they are healed. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then the long wait for their healing to visibly show positive results begins,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; whilst they refuse to take any medicine because they are told that it dishonors God, they suffer manifold psychological pains and sorrows. &quot;Just confess your healing&quot; they are told because &quot;Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.&quot; (Hebrews 11:1. In this way they twist Scripture to the detriment of sick people.

Go ahead, don&#039;t warn your friend against Wommack, and encourage her to follow his advice. It will only make you an accessory to her subsequent Wommack-woes.

And speaking of Adam, this is the kind of heresies Wommack presents. The Berean Call wrote:

Andrew Wommack, a word-faith teacher that majors on the promise of healing, teaches that Satan was originally on this earth in the Garden of Eden as Lucifer. He was God&#039;s number one angel sent to earth to be a blessing to Adam and Eve. He was an angelic being sent to be their protector, to minister to them and serve them. He was there on a divine mission, still in his perfect state. ]]></description>
