Summary of "Four Basics of Hearing God's Voice: Episode 11"
Overview
Andrew Wommack teaches four foundational ways God speaks and, in this episode, focuses on the role of the born‑again spirit in hearing God. He distinguishes basic conscience and the Bible’s general guidance from the believer’s renewed spirit (the mind of Christ), which brings intuitive, inner revelation. Wommack contrasts spiritual knowing with carnal thinking, explains how to discern spirit versus soul, and urges believers to renew their minds so they can confidently follow spirit‑led impressions. He also illustrates practical faith through generosity and encourages training, study, and community involvement via his ministry.
“I think this is what I’m supposed to do.” — an example of the kind of inner, spirit‑led impression Wommack describes
Key strategies, self‑care techniques, and productivity tips (actionable)
- Learn and use the four layers of spiritual guidance to evaluate decisions:
- Conscience: an intuitive sense of right and wrong.
- The Word of God: the general will and authoritative standard for life.
- The born‑again spirit (for believers): inner, intuitive revelation—often expressed as “I think this is what I’m supposed to do.”
- Additional layers (implied in the series): use Scripture to discern between them.
- Test impressions and desires against Scripture:
- Compare inner promptings with Bible teaching. If consistent, you gain assurance they are from God.
- Renew your mind (Romans 12:1–2):
- Regularly study and meditate on Scripture to replace old, carnal thought patterns.
- Focus on transformation by renewing the mind rather than trying to suppress the old nature.
- Practice spiritual discernment with the Word (Hebrews 4:12):
- Use Scripture as the dividing line between spirit (truth/revelation) and soul (carnal thinking/emotions).
- Learn to trust and act on spirit‑led impressions when confirmed by Scripture:
- Don’t automatically dismiss “I think” impressions—they may be the born‑again spirit in communion with God.
- Align desires by delighting in the Lord (Psalm 37:4):
- Seek God first so He reshapes your desires to match His will.
- Build confidence despite fear or weakness:
- Acknowledge human weakness and rely on the Spirit’s power (example: Paul’s reliance on grace rather than human wisdom).
- Practice generosity as an expression of faith:
- Giving (tithes, sacrificial gifts) is presented as a spiritual principle God can use to meet needs and multiply resources.
- Invest in community, training, and practice:
- Join teaching events, conferences, or formal Bible training (e.g., Charis Bible College) to deepen understanding and apply truth.
