Andrew Wommack Devotional for June 6 2026

TODAY’S ANDREW WOMMACK DEVOTIONAL.

TOPIC: Discipline Brings Life

Matthew 18:18-19, "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."

Text: Matthew 18:15-19.

Verses 18 and 19 have many applications, but taken in context, they are specifically referring to church discipline. Some might think that church discipline is only symbolic and carries no real weight; however, Jesus is making it clear that in the spiritual realm, discipline that is directed by the Holy Spirit has much power.

The scriptural commands concerning church discipline are designed to help restore the brother or sister who is in sin just as much as they are designed to protect other members of the body from that sin. If the person being disciplined repents, the objective has been achieved and no further action should be taken. Church discipline is two-fold. It consists of withdrawing both our fellowship and our intercession.

Proper intercession can actually keep Satan 'at bay' though an individual is living in great sin. This is good if the person uses this freedom to repent and come back to God. But, if the person takes this freedom from the wages of sin to commit more sin, there comes a time when this form of intercession ceases to be beneficial.

In that case, intercession against Satan's attacks should be withdrawn, and we should actually retain that person's sins unto him so that he can no longer get by without experiencing the death that sin brings (Rom. 6:23). As he starts reaping what he has sown, it, hopefully, will cause him to turn back to the goodness of God that he once enjoyed. This is the binding and loosing being referred to in this verse. Heaven and earth are affected by our binding and loosing.

Today's devotional highlights the spiritual authority believers carry in matters of discipline and agreement. Jesus reveals that what is bound or loosed on earth has spiritual significance in heaven, showing that actions taken in alignment with God’s Word carry real weight in the spirit realm. Church discipline, when led by the Holy Spirit, is not punishment but restoration and protection for the body of Christ. It is designed to bring correction, encourage repentance, and preserve the purity of the believer’s walk with God. This teaching reminds us that obedience, accountability, and spiritual sensitivity are vital in maintaining a healthy Christian life and community where God’s will is honored.
