- And i didn't notice that accent or that voice because your
- 00:09:07.770 --> 00:09:09.105

- Satellite networks. this kind of
- 00:11:46.529 --> 00:11:48.964
- Global visibility has spawned
- 00:11:48.964 --> 00:11:51.267
- 22 foreign offices, plus 53
- 00:11:51.267 --> 00:11:54.537

- Body of 9,400 worldwide.
- 00:11:58.073 --> 00:12:03.879
- >> 25 years ago in the year
- 00:12:03.946 --> 00:12:06.015
- 2000, andrew wommack ministries
- 00:12:06.015 --> 00:12:08.951
- Was a mom and pop shop with just
- 00:12:08.951 --> 00:12:11.187
- A handful of staff members
- 00:12:11.187 --> 00:12:13.122
- And 45 students on robinson
- 00:12:13.122 --> 00:12:15.424
- Street in colorado springs.
- 00:12:15.424 --> 00:12:17.760
- >> so here we are at the
- 00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:18.761
- Robinson building. this was
- 00:12:18.761 --> 00:12:19.995
- Our next step and we moved
- 00:12:19.995 --> 00:12:21.197
- In here in the summer of 1992.
- 00:12:21.197 --> 00:12:24.166
- >> who would've guessed
- 00:12:24.233 --> 00:12:25.434
- That in 25 years, andrew's
- 00:12:25.434 --> 00:12:27.937
- Bible teaching program
- 00:12:27.937 --> 00:12:29.572
- Would reach around the
- 00:12:29.572 --> 00:12:31.040
- World as it does today?
- 00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:32.975
- >> today i'm going to start
- 00:12:32.975 --> 00:12:33.876
- Teaching about the love of god.
- 00:12:33.876 --> 00:12:35.845
- >> at that time, he'd been
- 00:12:35.845 --> 00:12:37.146
- Ministering on radio for 20
- 00:12:37.146 --> 00:12:39.048
- Years and had only seen
- 00:12:39.048 --> 00:12:40.983
- Modest growth. what
- 00:12:40.983 --> 00:12:42.785
- Changed with television?
- 00:12:42.785 --> 00:12:44.553
- Perhaps first it's important
- 00:12:44.553 --> 00:12:46.121
- To understand what did not
- 00:12:46.121 --> 00:12:48.057
- Change. andrew did not change.
- 00:12:48.057 --> 00:12:50.893
- >> you're an angel. you're
- 00:12:50.893 --> 00:12:53.062
- Always up in the air
- 00:12:53.062 --> 00:12:53.863
- Harping about something.
- 00:12:53.863 --> 00:12:56.799
- >> you going to leave this
- 00:12:56.866 --> 00:12:57.600
- Little color thing on the table?
- 00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:59.568
- >> his teaching series did not
- 00:12:59.568 --> 00:13:01.370
- Change. his practice of making
- 00:13:01.370 --> 00:13:03.572
- Materials available free of
- 00:13:03.572 --> 00:13:05.207
- Charge did not change. the use
- 00:13:05.207 --> 00:13:07.910
- Of the ministry helpline did not
- 00:13:07.910 --> 00:13:09.745
- Change, the way he shared how
- 00:13:09.745 --> 00:13:11.547
- The word of god had radically
- 00:13:11.547 --> 00:13:13.515
- Changed his life did not change.
- 00:13:13.515 --> 00:13:16.385
- His use of real life stories to
- 00:13:16.385 --> 00:13:18.621
- Illustrate journey did not
- 00:13:18.621 --> 00:13:20.422
- Change. his intimate radio
- 00:13:20.422 --> 00:13:22.258
- Delivery did not change. in
- 00:13:22.258 --> 00:13:24.293
- Fact, it's accurate to say that
- 00:13:24.293 --> 00:13:26.562
- Andrew put radio on tv and then
- 00:13:26.562 --> 00:13:32.234
- Everything changed. everything
- 00:13:32.234 --> 00:13:35.237
- Began to grow. what made the
- 00:13:35.237 --> 00:13:37.806
- Difference was the simple idea
- 00:13:37.806 --> 00:13:40.042
- That andrew's anointing would
- 00:13:40.042 --> 00:13:42.077
- Communicate best through a
- 00:13:42.077 --> 00:13:43.679
- Single television camera for the
- 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.048
- Person at home, the tv screen
- 00:13:46.048 --> 00:13:48.450
- Magnified his heart and his
- 00:13:48.450 --> 00:13:50.452
- Message as he sat across the
- 00:13:50.452 --> 00:13:52.588
- Table talking to just one
- 00:13:52.588 --> 00:13:54.790
- Person. the power of television
- 00:13:54.790 --> 00:13:57.526
- Multiplied that connection
- 00:13:57.526 --> 00:13:59.328
- Millions of times over and a
- 00:13:59.328 --> 00:14:01.897
- Massive new audience began to
- 00:14:01.897 --> 00:14:04.433
- Have their lives changed by the

- Way to pray, and so many others.
- 00:14:21.951 --> 00:14:25.821
- Over the years, these teachings
- 00:14:25.821 --> 00:14:27.489
- Have been repeated, updated,
- 00:14:27.489 --> 00:14:29.625
- And refined as andrew has
- 00:14:29.625 --> 00:14:31.860
- Continued to mine the riches of
- 00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:34.363
- God's word in his private time.
- 00:14:34.363 --> 00:14:36.899
- >> faith doesn't make god
- 00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:38.934
- Do anything. faith just
- 00:14:38.934 --> 00:14:40.736
- Appropriates what god has
- 00:14:40.736 --> 00:14:43.672
- Already provided by grace.
- 00:14:43.672 --> 00:14:47.109
- >> the practical insights that

- Of heaven. that fact has
- 00:14:57.987 --> 00:15:00.322
- Filled an invisible reservoir of

- Goodwill in the hearts of his

- On television would not be
- 00:15:18.273 --> 00:15:19.975
- Complete without mentioning the
- 00:15:19.975 --> 00:15:22.011

- Daystar network. it was
- 00:15:57.046 --> 00:15:58.881
- Then andrew received the
- 00:15:58.881 --> 00:16:00.516
- Life-changing revelation that
- 00:16:00.516 --> 00:16:02.317

- Through his small thinking.
- 00:16:03.852 --> 00:16:04.953
- >> but this is something that
- 00:16:04.953 --> 00:16:06.355
- Has come from a recent
- 00:16:06.355 --> 00:16:08.157

- The ministry across town.
- 00:16:15.831 --> 00:16:17.633
- >> robinson over to elkton,
- 00:16:17.633 --> 00:16:19.902
- Where we are now was really a
- 00:16:19.902 --> 00:16:22.538
- Supernatural affair because
- 00:16:22.538 --> 00:16:24.373

- And alcohol, but i still had
- 00:26:35.817 --> 00:26:37.152
- This incurable disease,
- 00:26:37.152 --> 00:26:38.453
- Multiple sclerosis.
- 00:26:38.453 --> 00:26:40.622
- I ended up in a nursing home.
- 00:26:40.622 --> 00:26:42.323
- Everything that i used to
- 00:26:42.323 --> 00:26:43.725
- Be able to do,
- 00:26:43.725 --> 00:26:44.426
- I couldn't really do anymore.
- 00:26:44.426 --> 00:26:47.228
- They had put me on disability
- 00:26:47.295 --> 00:26:49.030
- Because of the ms,
- 00:26:49.030 --> 00:26:49.798
- So i had all the time
- 00:26:49.798 --> 00:26:50.598
- In the world
- 00:26:50.598 --> 00:26:51.466
- And i was sitting my...
- 00:26:51.466 --> 00:26:52.467
- Sitting in my bedroom one night
- 00:26:52.467 --> 00:26:53.902
- And i asked god, i said,
- 00:26:53.902 --> 00:26:54.803
- I need a teacher.
- 00:26:54.803 --> 00:26:55.670
- What...what teacher
- 00:26:55.670 --> 00:26:56.438
- Should i...i listen to?
- 00:26:56.438 --> 00:26:57.906
- And he led me to andrew wommack.
- 00:26:57.906 --> 00:26:59.040
- >> so i started listening
- 00:26:59.040 --> 00:27:00.241
- To all these
- 00:27:00.241 --> 00:27:00.942
- Different teachings
- 00:27:00.942 --> 00:27:02.277
- >> god has already
- 00:27:02.277 --> 00:27:04.012
- Provided everything
- 00:27:04.012 --> 00:27:05.714
- That you ever will need,
- 00:27:05.714 --> 00:27:07.615
- And you just rest in this.
- 00:27:07.615 --> 00:27:10.919
- >> you trust him.
- 00:27:10.919 --> 00:27:12.520
- >> i stayed so focused on jesus
- 00:27:12.520 --> 00:27:14.923
- And his love for me
- 00:27:14.923 --> 00:27:16.157
- That i didn't realize
- 00:27:16.157 --> 00:27:17.392
- My symptoms were fading away.
- 00:27:17.392 --> 00:27:19.160
- And when i just quit
- 00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:20.261
- And turned to god
- 00:27:20.261 --> 00:27:21.329
- And asked him for help,
- 00:27:21.329 --> 00:27:23.298
- That's when my healing came.
- 00:27:23.298 --> 00:27:23.298
