Spirit Soul Body - Andrew Wommack - Chapter 3

What follows is a summary of the main points Andrew Wommack makes in chapter 3 of his book "Spirit, Soul, and Body."  Chapter 3 is entitled "Renew, Acknowledge, and Experience"  Mr. Wommack makes the following assertions:

1. Under the New Covenant, we have all received (past tense) His fullness. John 1:16. (pg. 17)

2. As a believer, God gave you everything when you were born again. Old things passed away, and all thing became new.  In your spirit, you received the same measure of faith, the same power, the same wisdom, and the same ability as every other Christian. Our spirits are all identical to the Lord Jesus Christ in every way. Your spirit isn't in the process of growing and maturing because it's already complete; you've already got everything. (pg. 18)

3. The rest of your Christian life should be spent learning how to manifest in the physical realm what's already in your born-again spirit. The way your faith becomes effective, productive, and operative is by acknowledging every good thing in you (your spirit) in Christ. (pg. 18) 

4. When you were born again, God put His power, anointing, victory, joy, peace-everything-in you in abundance. The only reason they aren't manifest in your soul and body is your unrenewed mind. (pg. 19)

5. Therefore, its your mind, your thoughts, your attitudes that determine whether you experience victory and the life of God in your spirit or the defeat and death of the fallen natural realm.(pg 20)

6. As you continually look into the Lord's spiritual mirror, you'll begin to see and experience yourself for who you really are. (pg.21)

Spirit Soul Body - Andrew Wommack - Chapter 2

What follows is a summary of the main points Andrew Wommack makes in chapter 1 of his book "Spirit, Soul, and Body."  Chapter 2 is entitled "Release What You've Already Got"  Mr. Wommack makes the following assertions:

1. People who don't understand that the change (salvation) took place in their spirit and has to work its way out into their souls and bodies are usually quite disappointed. (pg. 9)

2. Everything you'll ever need in the Christian life is already present in its entirety in your spirit......... Your spirit is - right now - as perfect, mature, and complete as Jesus Himself. (pg. 9)

3. When your soul comes int o alignment with what it sees in God's spiritual mirror, what's already in your spirit releases into your soul and body.  That's how you experience the benefits of your salvation. (pg. 10) 

4. If your spirit and your soul agree, you experience the life of God. (pg. 10)

5. Most people don't recognize the fact that their spirit is the core of their being. (pg. 11) James 2:26 

6. Even though you have the resurrection life of God in your spirit, your soul can keep it shut off so that not one drop  of life-giving power ever touches your physical body. (pg.13)

7. When your soul agrees with your spirit, the life of God in you will manifest itself in your physical body. You'll experience healing, deliverance, anointing, victory, power, joy, prosperity-on and on it goes. (pg. 14)

8. The truth is that old things passed away, and all things became new in your spirit the moment you were born again. Now, everything you'll ever need in your Christian life is already there. Just renew your mind and release it. (pg. 14)

9. The Christian life isn't a process of "getting from God." Instead, it's a process of renewing my mind and learning to release what I've already received. It's much easier to release something I've already got than to go get something I don't yet have." (pg 15)  

Spirit Soul & Body - Andrew Wommack - Chapter 1

What follows is a summary of the main points Andrew Wommack makes in chapter 1 of his book "Spirit, Soul, and Body."  Chapter 1 is entitled "God's Mirror."  Mr. Wommack makes the following assertions:

1. Even though the bible clearly teaches that we are three-part beings (body, soul, and spirit), very few Christians practice a functional understanding of spirit, soul, and body in their everyday lives. (pg. 1)

2. Your spirit is your innermost part, not our "rational soul." (pg. 1)

3. Mr. Wommack defines our soul as being our mind, will, emotions and conscience. (pg. 2) 

4. We cannot feel your spirit because it can't be accessed in any natural way. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (John 3:6)......You simply cannot contact your spirit through your emotions or your physical body. (pg. 3)

5. If you want to know what your spirit is like, you must find out from the Word. You can't just go by emotion or some other type of perception. God's Word is spirit and life. (pg. 4) 

6. When you look into the Bible, you behold yourself in the spirit. God's Word is a spiritual mirror. (James 1:23-25) (pg. 4)

7. Although Christ's atonement provided for you physically, your body has not yet been saved. It's been purchased, but not yet redeemed. (1 Cor. 15:53) (pg. 6)

8. Soul salvation happens when an emotionally discouraged and mentally defeated Christian starts believing God's Word and then experiences victory, peace, and joy again. (pg. 6)

9. Your soul can be transformed now to the degree you renew your mind, change your attitudes, and conform your values to the Word of God. (pg. 7)
