  • 1967. but anyway, i'm a yankee, so i just would turn you off
  • 00:08:28.898 --> 00:08:31.500
  • So i just would turn you off every time i heard your voice on
  • 00:08:31.567 --> 00:08:33.736
  • Every time i heard your voice on there. i didn't care to hear
  • 00:08:33.803 --> 00:08:34.804

  • Enough to... to survive. >> well, that's about it, so...
  • 00:08:52.288 --> 00:08:53.155
  • >> well, that's about it, so... >> that's about it. but i... i
  • 00:08:53.222 --> 00:08:55.358

  • 00:09:02.064 --> 00:09:04.100
  • What, an hour, hour and a half, and i didn't notice that accent
  • 00:09:04.166 --> 00:09:07.703
  • And i didn't notice that accent or that voice because your
  • 00:09:07.770 --> 00:09:09.105
  • Or that voice because your presence and the way that you...
  • 00:09:09.171 --> 00:09:10.740
  • Presence and the way that you... you spoke all went together. and
  • 00:09:10.806 --> 00:09:13.709
  • You spoke all went together. and that's when it started dawning
  • 00:09:13.776 --> 00:09:15.411

  • 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

  • 00:12:27.937 --> 00:12:29.572
  • Would reach around the

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Over the years, these teachings
  • 00:14:25.821 --> 00:14:27.489
  • Have been repeated, updated,

  • 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

  • A chronic disease,
  • 00:26:20.869 --> 00:26:22.070
  • With symptoms that include pain,
  • 00:26:22.070 --> 00:26:24.072
  • Fatigue, difficulty walking,
  • 00:26:24.072 --> 00:26:26.241
  • And depression.
  • 00:26:26.241 --> 00:26:28.677
  • Years after i got diagnosed
  • 00:26:28.743 --> 00:26:30.178
  • With ms, i ended up in a rehab,
  • 00:26:30.178 --> 00:26:33.381
  • And i got saved
  • 00:26:33.381 --> 00:26:34.783
  • And set free from drugs
  • 00:26:34.783 --> 00:26:35.817
  • 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
