Key Wellness / Healing & Self-Care Strategies (Andrew Wommack)

  • Pray with expectation of “receiving”

    • Base point: Mark 11:24 — when you pray, believe you receive, and it will come to pass.
    • If you don’t “see” results yet, don’t erase the fact you feel symptoms—rather, don’t treat the physical report as the final reality.

  • Shift from “carnal” (five-senses-only) thinking to spiritual awareness

    • “Carnally minded” = being controlled only by what you see, taste, hear, smell, and feel.
    • Teaching point: the spiritual realm is real and more foundational than physical symptoms.
    • Goal: stop concluding “nothing happened” just because you can’t yet perceive change physically.

  • Use faith to “open the valve” between spirit and body

    • Analogy: healing power is in the spirit; the soul/inner person functions like a valve.
    • Faith is what allows spiritual truth to flow into the physical realm.

  • Don’t deny symptoms—override them with a “greater truth”

    • Example approach: acknowledging symptoms medically/physically is okay, but your spoken beliefs must align with God’s promises.
    • “Trump the physical” rather than deny it:
      • You may say: “I may have pain/cancer, but I’m healed by the stripes of Jesus.”
    • Distinction made: saying “I don’t have anything” as pure denial can be mis-framed as unbelief if it doesn’t match real faith.

  • Recognize your healing authority is internal (through Christ)

    • Emphasis that God’s power is within believers (covenant power), not something you must “get through heaven” externally.

  • Meditate on scripture as “substance” for what you can’t see yet

    • Hebrews 11:1 — faith is the substance of hoped-for things and evidence of unseen realities.
    • Healing is described as already “existent” in the spirit realm; faith helps manifest it.

  • Learn to “see” spiritually through prayer

    • Story reference: 2 Kings 6 — Elisha prays for his servant’s spiritual sight.
    • Application: spiritual perception reveals God’s help and protection are already present.

  • Speak healing-related words directly (not only to God about the problem)

    • Proverbs 18:21 — life and death are in the power of the tongue.
    • Hebrews 4:2 — God’s word must be mixed with faith to produce benefit.
    • Instruction style:
      • Don’t only pray indirectly; speak to the “mountain” / issue using authority.
    • Example phrases given:
      • “Pain, in the name of Jesus, I command you to leave my body.”
      • “Whatever is causing this pain, I command healing to you.”

  • Use consistent confession (avoid “tongue-hijacking” by fear)

    • Warning against repeating negative reports in conversation:
      • “I’m hurt, I have pain, the doctor says I’m dying,” etc.
    • Counter-practice:
      • Replace speech patterns with faith-filled words aligned to scripture and promises of healing.

  • Triangulate faith with real-life testimony

    • Mention of a verified testimony (Julianne Hartman) who reported healing after adopting the “speak to pain/body using scripture” approach.

  • Seek prayer support

    • Encouragement to call for healing prayer and request their free booklet, plus keep listening to ongoing teaching.
