Summary of "Spirit, Soul & Body: Episode 3"

Overview

Andrew Wommack teaches that humans are three-part beings—spirit, soul (mind and emotions), and body—and that true identity and stability come from recognizing and living out the born-again spirit (which he identifies with Jesus). The spirit is constant and already complete; the Christian’s task is to align the soul and body with what the spirit (revealed in Scripture) already is. He emphasizes practical, repeatable habits (not emotion-driven responses) to maintain spiritual health and to see that inner reality manifest as physical healing, peace, joy, and victory.

Humans are spirit, soul, and body; live out the born-again spirit by aligning soul and body with the spirit revealed in Scripture.

Key teachings and principles

The spirit is the core of identity and is already complete in Christ.
Scripture functions as a “spiritual mirror” to reveal and confirm identity.
Spiritual life is practical and habit-driven rather than primarily emotion-driven.
Consistent confession, practice, and renewal change the mind and retrain the body.
Trust spiritual reality over transient feelings or sensory evidence.
The fruit of the Spirit are reliable markers of spiritual health (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance).

Wellness / self-care / productivity strategies

Know your true identity by the Word
- Use Scripture as a “spiritual mirror.” When you can’t feel or see your spirit, read and confess relevant Bible verses (e.g., Ephesians 1:3; Colossians 2:9–10) to anchor identity.
Be a doer, not only a hearer
- Act on the truth you read; internalize it through practice so it shapes behavior and feelings.
Walk in the Spirit (daily orientation toward your spirit)
- Prioritize spiritual reality rather than letting transient emotions or bodily sensations dictate actions.
Renew the mind regularly
- Replace mental and emotional patterns with the truths of Scripture so the soul comes into agreement with the spirit.
Retrain the body by repeated practice
- Habits and bodily responses change as mind and soul align with spiritual truth (the spirit + soul aligned overcome the body).
Use regular confession/declaration
- Make brief, consistent verbal confessions of spiritual truths (for example, answer “How are you?” with “I’m blessed”) to reprogram responses and perspective.
Persist and repeat—maintain the “thrust”
- Ongoing focus is required; intermittent attention lets old patterns pull you back.
Trust spiritual reality over feelings
- Feelings and sensory evidence are not the ultimate reality; spiritual identity should guide decisions.
Lean on the fruit of the Spirit as markers of spiritual health
- Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance are the steady outcomes of walking in the Spirit.

Practical, step-by-step methodology

When confronted by discouragement, illness, or pressure:

Stop and identify whether you’re reacting from body/soul (feelings/senses) or from spirit.
Open the Bible to an applicable verse (use Ephesians, Colossians, Galatians, John).
Read and confess that truth aloud—be a doer, not just a hearer.
Repeat until your mind and emotions begin to align.
Continue practicing daily to retrain the mind and the habits of the body.
