This DVD album was recorded from the Gospel Truth TV broadcast. Each DVD contains one week of programming. Please note that while they do cover the same material as a CD album, they are not exactly the same. This teaching is a foundational truth that is essential for understanding how much God loves you and believing what He says about you in His Word. Each person is made up of three different parts: spirit, soul, and body. Learn how these three parts relate to God and to each other. At salvation your spirit is totally changed, but your soul and body is not yet redeemed. This series will teach you how to release the life that is already in your spirit, into your physical body and emotions.

welcome to gospel truth with Andrew

Wommack today Andrew illustrates the

power of God’s word to change our lives

in his teaching spirit soul and body

now here’s Andrew welcome to our

Tuesday’s broadcast of the gospel truth

today I’m continuing a series that I

started yesterday this is probably my

favorite thing to teach on it’s the

thing that God used to just transform my

life and I’ve seen this change so many

people’s lives that I loved teaching on

this and it’s it’s what I call spirit

soul and body the recognition that you

are a spirit it’s the spirit realm where

all of the spiritual truths are located

in you and the relationship between that

and your body and your soul this just

changed my life and right before I get

back into that teaching let me mention

that we have rereleased my book I’ve put

out tens of thousands of my book on

spirit soul and body and now we have an

accompanying study guide that goes along

with it that has lessons in it it’s got

a teacher outline where it has questions

that you ask and then there’s questions

for the person to take an answer key

there’s also a cd-rom in the beginning

of the book where you can reproduce this

as many times as you want to provide

materials for people and this is

designed for you to teach Sunday School

or do Bible studies of course it’s good

for personal study but I’m really

excited about providing this teaching in

a way that it enables you to disciple

other people I really believe this is my

heartfelt belief that this is probably

basic Christianity 101 this ought to be

the very first thing that a person

learns when they get born again and if

they would learn this and get a firm

grasp on these truths that I’m teaching

in this series I call spirits on body I

believe that it would be just like a

foundation that would allow you to grow

and mature as a Christian that would

provide just

unparalleled growth in your life I

really think that most people have

missed this that it’s not a reality it

certainly wasn’t a reality to me and

when I learned this it’s like the key

that unlocked all the treasures of God

my life just transformed and I still

live by this every day of my life I

apply some truths some application of

this to my life every single day and so

I’m excited about it I know what it’s

done for me I know that what it’s done

for many many people and I believe that

it has a potential of changing you you

know let me just present it this way if

you love God if you have made a

commitment of your life to the Lord and

you believe that there is more from God

for you than what you’ve experienced but

if you’re frustrated how to get there

then I believe that this teaching is

your answer I really believe that now it

may need to be explained there may this

may just be like a foundational truth

and entry level but this will begin the

process of getting you out of that realm

of being frustrated in not understanding

the things that God this will just make

the Word of God come alive on the inside

of you so I’m very excited about this I

was sharing yesterday from first

Thessalonians 5:23 and we use that verse

to basically establish that you do have

a spirit soul and body most people have

heard those terms but functionally most

people consider the spirit and the soul

to be just different names for the same

thing but no you are a three-part being

you are a triune being you aren’t just

body and soul which most people

understand that you know your body

you’re looking at my physical body

you’re in touch with your physical body

you’re in touch with a part of you

that’s not tangible as far as physical

but you have an emotional part that

everybody knows and instantly you know

if you’re happy or sad or whatever but

there’s a third part of you that the

Bible calls the spirit and I also use

this verse out of John 3:6 yesterday

that Jesus said that which is spirit is

spirit and that which is flesh

flesh basically was saying spirit is

spirit it’s a separate realm over here

and then there’s the physical realm

there’s a spiritual realm they aren’t

the same thing

they exist at the same time but you

cannot discern the spiritual realm by

any physical or natural thing you know

I’ve had two or three emails in just the

last few days where somebody heard me

make a statement about somebody being

raised from the dead and they write in

and they say I want you to verify this

you give me some documentation and and

if this is true you know we’re going to

put it in the newspapers and we’re going

to do this and we’re going to just get

in people’s face with this and we’re

going to make it happen and you know

what I don’t think you can do that first

of all I’ve seen three people raised

from the dead my son was one of them and

I queried the doctors about this and I

said was he dead and they wouldn’t say

he was dead they just would avoid saying

it they would say nobody comes in the

way he does and leaves any other way

than in a body bag and then they’d go on

and talk about things and then I’d say

so was he dead and they’d say you can’t

ever live through something like what he

did and they would go on and later they

have said off the record that you know

he was dead he was stripped naked he had

a toe tag on he was in a cooler but see

for liability issues people aren’t going

to say things like this person was dead

because if they were dead and if they if

they put this person in a cooler well

then they would be subject to liability

issues because he came back to life

according to the carnal way of thinking

if you don’t factor God into it

somebody’s going to say so you know this

was malpractice there was still a spark

of life there and you put him over there

we could sue you it could he could have

been dead and so they won’t say those

kind of things and even if they did say

it well then they would be in trouble

with all the rest of their medical

profession who don’t believe in miracles

don’t believe that people can be raised

from the dead etc and if they were to

say that then they would suffer the

criticism

the rebuke and the ridicule they would

start being say you’re a religious

fanatic you’re supposed to be scientific

you can’t assume that this person was

dead how do you know that they weren’t

in a coma anyway the point that I’m

making is see the physical realm there

is no way to really prove that the

spiritual realm exists there is no way

to prove that God is not a miracle if a

person wants to be skeptical

you can always say that they just were

in a deep coma and that somebody

misdiagnosed it and there’s always a way

around this when Jesus raised Lazarus

from the dead there was no doctor that

verified that he had been dead for four

days I guarantee there’s some people

that if they apply the same standard to

Jesus that they were trying to apply to

me that you know you have to have

documentation and you have to have some

medical doctor will come out and verify

this and some paper trail in some

autopsy or something that verifies these

things if they tried to get me to adhere

to that Center if they tried to apply

that same standard to Jesus they

wouldn’t be able to say that Lazarus was

raised from the dead or that the ruler

of the synagogue’s daughter was raised

from the dead there wasn’t any

modern-day medical pronunciation that

they were dead so here’s my point I’m

just saying that some people are so

skeptical they want physical proof that

this has happened spirit is spirit flesh

is flesh you know what there is enough

proof we just put out this healing

documentaries Volume one and we had on

there this story of Hannah Tara des who

had this disease she was

three-and-a-half years old and yet she

was only wearing nine-month old clothes

that’s her size she was dying the

doctors had given her up said there was

nothing to do and instantly she was

healed she went back and over a year’s

period of time went through all the

medical tests they finally took the tube

out of her belly and they rode across

her record miracle but you know what

that still isn’t going to satisfy some

people who say well you can’t you know

there’s no way to prove it spirit is

spirit flesh is flesh and those people

who are trying to come up with some

physical proof of the spirit realm

you’re spitting in the wind Jesus

said that which is spirit is spirit that

which is flesh is flesh you need to

recognize that there is a spiritual

world here and you need to accept it on

the basis of what the word says now to

some people there’s probably some people

watching this program you’ll say well

that’s not enough I need some kind of

physical proof I’ve actually heard of

stories where they they have people who

are dying on scales and when they die

they weigh them and as they you know

exhale their last breath and stuff like

this they notice that there is a

decrease in the weight of that body that

it’s like something leaves that body

which according to the scripture it

would be your spirit your spirit leaves

spirit and soul leaves at the point of

death and so they’re trying to come up

with some kind of physical proof that

there is a spiritual being on the inside

but you know what that’s never going to

satisfy anybody again I say physical is

physical spirit is spirit and you the

only way you can know what’s going on in

the spirit realm John 6:63 Jesus spoken

he says the words that I speak unto you

they are spirit and they are life if you

want to know what’s going on in the

spirit realm you’ve got to look in the

Word of God and take what God’s Word

says this God is a spirit John 4:24 says

God is a spirit and God has revealed the

spirit world which he created which he

lives in through the words that he’s

given us and we have to get to where we

start taking his word as proof of what

spiritual truth and reality is here’s

another scripture goes along with that

in James chapter 1 verse 22 it says but

be doers of the word and not hearers

only deceiving your own selves for if

any man be a hearer of the word and not

a doer he is like unto a man beholding

his natural face in a glass this is time

at your physical face in a mirror is the

modern way we would say this for he

beholdeth himself and goeth his way and

straightway forgetteth what manner of

man he was but whoso looketh into the

perfect law of

being continued therein he being not a

forgetful hearer but a doer of the work

this man shall be blessed in his deed so

these verses are likening the Word of

God unto a mural mirror if you want to

see if your hair is combed you look in a

physical mirror and you aren’t really

seeing your hair you’re seeing a

reflection of your hair but you’ve

learned to take what you see in that

mirror and take action accordingly well

if you want to see what you’re lacking

the spirit there isn’t a physical mirror

or a spiritual mirror in the physical

realm that just shows you you can’t get

science to somehow or another verify

what your spirit is like spirit is

spirit and flesh is flesh so how do you

know you have to look into the Word of

God and trust it as much as you trust

the mirror that you look in you know

when you look in that mirror you just

trust what you see when you look in the

Word of God you need to get to the point

that this is a spiritual mirror you know

if somebody says how are you today well

most people will give a response based

on either how you are in your body or

how you are in your soul you’ll say oh

man I’m hurting all over I’m tired I’m

sleepy I’m this on that or you might say

that man I’m really discouraged I really

said this has happened or I’m really

blessed or I’m really happy see that’s

all about your body and about your soul

but if somebody asked you how are you

and if you responded about how you are

in the spirit how do you know how you

are in the spirit well this is a mirror

you’d turn over to like Ephesians

chapter 1 verse 3 where it says blessed

be the God and father of our Lord Jesus

Christ who hath pass’d tents blessed us

with all spiritual blessings in heavenly

places in Christ Jesus if you want to

know what your spirits like you turn

over there and you hold up your mirror

and you say well man I’m blessed I got

all spiritual blessings you turn over to

Galatians chapter 5 verse 22 and it says

the fruit of the Spirit talking about

what’s going on in the spirit round the

fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace

long-suffering gentleness goodness faith

meat

his temperance that’s what’s in your

spirit see if somebody says how are you

in your body you say oh I’m hurting or

oh I feel great today yeah how are you

in your spirit well according to this I

am full of love and joy and peace and

you aren’t there some people listening

to me right now that you’re just

thinking so this is kind of just a mind

game it’s not dealing with reality in

other words you just you know you really

are discouraged you really are depressed

but the Bible says over here in

Galatians 5:22 that you’re full of love

and joy and peace and so you just say it

when it really isn’t so and if you’ll

say it long enough and believe it hard

enough maybe it’ll become reality see

that’s the way some people interpret

what I’m saying but that is not what I’m

saying

I’m saying that the spirit realm is as

real as this physical and soulless realm

ever thought about being as a matter of

fact everything physical that you see

the scripture says in Hebrews chapter 11

through faith we understand that the

worlds were framed by the Word of God so

that things which are seen that’s

talking about physical we’re not made of

things which do appear and notice

everything physical the Stars the Sun

the Moon the earth the trees everything

physical tangible you and me every

animal the air that we breathe

everything physical that mankind can put

in a test tube and analyze and say that

this is real this is tangible every

tangible thing that exists was created

out of something that can not be seen it

didn’t say that it was created out of

nothing see a lot of people will say

that that God just created the worlds

out of nothing no it was out of things

it was out of spiritual reality things

existed in the heart of God God is a

spirit God existed before anything he

created existed there was spiritual

substance and God created physical

substance from spiritual substance so

the worlds weren’t created from nothing

they were created from spiritual reality

so here’s what that means

a spirit realm is the parent force

certainly the parent has to be greater

than anything it creates if everything

was created out of the spiritual realm

it was created of things which do not

appear that means it wasn’t physical it

was created from spiritual substance if

spiritual substance is the parent force

then it’s actually greater than the

force that it created the spiritual

realm existed before there was anything

physical or tangible it exists during

this time that there is physical and

tangible things and the Lord has said

that there was going to be a destruction

of this earth and a new heaven a new

earth and the spiritual realm will

continue then the spiritual realm is

greater by the virtue of the fact that

it has existed longer than anything

tangible it’s greater in the sense that

there aren’t the same limitations on the

spirit realm that there are on the

physical realm and it’s greater in

eternity it’s going to last forever

where this this physical realm is going

to pass away and there’s going to be a

new heaven and a new earth created the

spiritual realm exists

this isn’t theory this isn’t just a mind

game when I’m saying that the Bible says

that I’ve got love joy and peace there

are times that my physical senses my

five senses can’t discern that because

I’ve got turmoil I’ve got fear I’ve got

worry

I’ve got anger somebody’s hurt me this

and that and I’ve got all of these

things and some people would say well

say you’re just sitting there saying you

got it but the truth is you’re angry no

the truth is that in my spirit realm I

am identical to what the Word of God has

to say about me my born-again self I do

have love and joy in peace now I might

have anger out here in my emotions but

that doesn’t mean that I don’t have what

the Word of God says it means that

there’s a conflict between my physical

carnal man and the spiritual me that’s

on the inside and the victory in the

Christian life is not in denying that

you have these negative things out here

in the physical realm but it’s in

realizing that that’s not the real you

this is the real me I’m now a born-again

person and Who I am in the

spirit is the real me and I let the

spiritual man dominate and overwhelm the

physical man with its negative emotions

and fears and and negative physical

sensations see when God created Adam and

Eve just four times like I’m going to

refer to some of this I won’t turn over

and read all of this but you can study

it on your own

when he created man in Genesis chapter

one and then it was retold in Genesis

chapter 2 it says that he formed his

body out of the dust of the ground and

there was a physical tangible body Adam

had a body just like you and me but

there was no life in it it was like a

corpse and Jesus I mean our the word

says that God breathed into man the

breath of life and man became a living

soul the word breathed there is the word

well in the New Testament it’s noumic he

breathed into man and he became a living

soul God imparted spirit into him and

this word for breath in the Old

Testament and the New Testament is what

is translated spirit in the New

Testament it’s numa and so what

literally happened God put a spirit in

man and at that moment life came into

man life doesn’t come from the physical

realm life comes from the spirit another

verse that would verify that is James

chapter 2 verse 26 and it says as the

body without the Spirit is dead so faith

without works is dead also that verse

says that your body without your spirit

is dead that shows that the Spirit is

the life-giving part see that

corresponds perfectly with when God took

Adam and breathed into him the breath of

life and he became a living soul

God imparted spirit and instantly life

came to man James 2:26 if the spirit

leaves death comes to man spirit is the

real life-giving part and herein lies

one of the great problems that people

have most people do not acknowledge the

spirit

realm not the spirit world outside and

certainly most people do not acknowledge

that they are spirit and that the spirit

part of us is the real life-giving part

and so they try and find satisfaction in

all of these physical emotional ways

they try and find it in money and in

indulging their flesh and appetites and

lust and desires and they’re trying to

impart life and find contentment and

real purpose in life and all of these

physical ways and as in a practical way

they deny the spirit realm the spirit

part of man but it’s just the opposite

the spirit is the life-giving part of us

and if you experience life in your

spirit if you take the Word of God like

a mirror and hold it up and begin to

learn these truths and relate to God and

find God and if your spirit comes alive

it doesn’t matter if your body is in

pain it doesn’t matter if your soul has

not been educated it doesn’t matter if

you are suffering hunger and these

physical sensations and needs are not

being meant there are multiple examples

of people that have found so much

contentment through the spirit realm

that it enables them to put up with

physical hardships and emotional

hardships and they just are happy and

joyful and stuff and then on the other

side of this there are so many millions

of cases of people that now have

prosperity and peace and all of these

things in the physical realm and yet

it’s still totally unsatisfying because

the spirit man has never been satisfied

I’m telling you this is this is just

profound

these are some of the basic concepts of

humanity that most people do not

understand they are living a physical

realm thinking that if they can’t see it

taste it hear it smell it

feel it it doesn’t exist what I’m saying

is that the your five senses only

monitor the physical body and the

soulish emotional part of you but there

is a third part of you

a spirit that is the real life-giving

part if you haven’t been born again then

the spirit that’s on the inside of you

is dead

not meaning non-functional it’s

functional but it is functioning in

death instead of in life it’s separated

from God the giver of that spirit and so

all it’s doing is producing tragedy and

hurt and heartache and stuff that’s all

it can do because it’s dead but when you

get born again you get a new spirit that

now has everything you need in it and

the rest of the Christian life isn’t

learning how to ask God to do something

but it’s discovering what you already

have in your spirit it’s becoming

spiritually minded instead of carnally

minded and when you do that I guarantee

you changes everything around this is

transformed my life and I’m just now

beginning to get into some of the really

good things about this I encourage you

to continue to listen to these programs

and also we’ve got these new products
