Summary of "Four Basics of Hearing God's Voice: Episode 5"
Main theme
Andrew Wommack teaches about conscience, conviction, and how believers should relate to God and truth. He emphasizes that people have an intuitive knowledge of right and wrong (the conscience) but can progressively harden themselves against it until they reach a “reprobate mind.”
Key teaching points
- Romans 1 describes a progression away from conscience toward increasingly sinful behavior when people reject God’s truth; persistent rejection can lead to a seared conscience and loss of conviction.
- A “reprobate mind” (Romans 1) describes people who no longer feel conviction and who not only sin but rejoice in others’ sin.
-
Christians must not be conformed to the world (Romans 12:2); taking in ungodly influences produces ungodly results.
“Garbage in, garbage out.”
-
Your heart/conscience can wrongly condemn you because of religious upbringing or amplified guilt; God is greater than our heart (see 1 John; Hebrews passages).
- Believers should purge a condemning conscience through the blood of Jesus so they can approach God with full assurance of faith (Hebrews 9–10; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
- True worship must be “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24) — approach God based on Christ’s work, not on your own merit.
Practical advice and steps
- Recognize the conscience’s role: allow it to show you right from wrong, but avoid living under amplified religious condemnation.
- If your conscience condemns you as a believer, purge it by:
- Acknowledging Jesus’ sacrifice for past, present, and future sin.
- Thanking the Father that you are made righteous through Christ.
- Claiming the righteousness given in Christ and approaching God in faith (not the flesh).
- Stand up and speak truth when culture promotes ungodliness; do not be molded by worldly values.
- Assure your heart that you are of the truth when you stand for it — faith requires assurance, not passive doubt.
- Be wary of repeatedly resisting conviction; continual resistance can lead to a loss of God’s drawing and conviction.
