Spirit, Soul & Body: Episode 3

Main summary

Key takeaways

Wellness and Self-Improvement

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:

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