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)
