Andrew Wommack: How to Know God’s Will for Your Life

How do you know what God wants you to do? In this live episode of The Perdue Podcast, Pastors Aaron and Heather Perdue sit down with Bible teacher Andrew Wommack, who shares lessons from 58 years in ministry, from the encounter that changed his life in 1968 to the way he lets the peace of God guide every major decision. Watch the full episode above, then keep reading for the key takeaways.

How to Know God’s Will: Let the Peace of God Rule

Andrew says the dominant way God gives him direction is through peace. He describes Colossians 3:15 as an umpire that makes the call in your heart, and explains how his peace flipped from reluctance to real excitement before major decisions like starting a Bible college and going on television. When you are unsure, he suggests choosing the direction where you feel the most peace, and the hosts add that if peace is hard to recognize, notice which path carries anxiety or fear.

Get Started and Don’t Quit

Asked for his tip for longevity after 58 years in ministry, Andrew’s answer is simple: get started and don’t quit. He calls obedience his vision, and says that if you keep seeking the Lord and obeying, God can make you look like you know what you are doing, even when your own team says it cannot be done that fast.

Obedience Out of Love, Not Fear

Andrew and the Perdues discuss why obedience that flows from love releases power, while obedience driven by fear or by paying your dues misses grace. They also describe three stages in raising children: first teaching them to obey, then to follow your example, and finally watching faith become their own heart.

From Near Starvation to Worldwide Ministry

Andrew shares honestly about the early years, when he and his wife Jamie nearly starved, their first year’s income was $1,253, and groceries sometimes appeared at the door with no one in sight. He credits Jamie’s strength and her habit of taking her concerns to the Lord instead of complaining, and says the ministry eventually began paying for itself.

Stop Limiting God With Small Thinking

Andrew describes his encounter on January 31, 2002, when the Lord used Psalm 78:41 to tell him he was limiting God by small thinking. That moment led to his teaching on the power of imagination and how to take the limits off of what God can do.
