Summary of "Four Basics of Hearing God's Voice: Episode 13"
Four Basics of Hearing God’s Voice (Episode 13 — Andrew Wommack)
Core message
Andrew Wommack teaches that God speaks through multiple means (conscience, Scripture, and the born‑again spirit). This episode focuses on hearing through your born‑again spirit and using inner peace as a primary guide for decisions.
Key idea: When you put God first (delighting in the Lord), He gives desires in your heart. Those desires, when checked against Scripture and accompanied by inner peace, are reliable guides.
Practical wellness, self-care, productivity and decision-making tips
Use inner peace as a decision compass
- Notice the sense of peace or lack of peace in your heart when weighing options.
- Prefer the option that produces the most peace (Colossians 3:15).
- If you consistently lack peace about a choice, don’t proceed — even under pressure.
Combine intuition (inner witness) with an objective standard
- Match impressions, desires, or “nudges” with core values or an objective baseline (in this teaching: the Word of God).
- An inner confirmation plus alignment with Scripture increases confidence in a decision.
Test impressions against truth/standards (the “acid test”)
- Use Scripture as the primary reality-check for impressions or desires (Hebrews 4:12).
- Remember feelings can come from other sources (the flesh, deception, external pressure); always verify against your standard.
Cultivate the right interior condition
- “Delight yourself in the Lord”: put spiritual priorities first so desires are reordered and you can act more freely and confidently.
- Regular spiritual alignment helps make instincts and priorities more reliable.
Learn from experience and heed past inner warnings
- Notice times you acted against your peace and what resulted; use those lessons to trust future inner guidance.
- Don’t let social pressure or authority override a clear lack of peace.
Practical attitude toward opportunities and commitments
- Move forward on sensed God‑given desires (e.g., to give, serve, act), trusting provision will follow (2 Cor 9:10).
- When choosing among multiple options, pick what you truly desire if you have put the Lord first.
Brief supporting methods and reminders
- Your born‑again spirit can have revelation or “knowing” (1 Cor 2:16; 1 John 2:20).
- Feelings of peace are qualitatively different from worldly “lulls” — they are a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23).
- Use both a “map” (Scripture) and a “voice” (Spirit) together for best guidance (analogy: map + spoken directions).
Examples and testimonies
- Personal decisions guided by peace: quitting a direction at age 18 despite opposition; later success.
- Regret example: yielding to pressure to ordain an elder despite lacking peace, which led to trouble.
- Organizational example: ending a vendor relationship despite large savings because of lack of peace; staff responded positively.
- Desire-driven ministry examples: being in the right place after a change of desire (TV ministry, Bible college, leading someone to faith).
Additional notes from the broadcast
- Short segments mention faith/healing declarations (e.g., “the moment you believe your healing is done; say ‘God is my healer’”).
- Fundraising/appeal: resources available (booklet Four Basics of Hearing God’s Voice, Spirit, Soul & Body book, CDs/DVDs/USBs) and an invitation to give or become a monthly donor to expand Charis Bible College and Spanish broadcasts.
