Episode Overview

In this episode, Andrew Wommack continues his series on the question, "Are you satisfied with Jesus?"

Drawing from Scripture and personal testimony, Andrew challenges believers to move beyond carnal perceptions and experience the deeper satisfaction found in spiritual revelation of Christ.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Disciples’ Struggle to Recognize Jesus (00:27–03:10)

• Andrew shares the story of Jesus telling His disciples He is “the way, the truth, and the life,” and Philip’s plea: “Show us the Father, and it will satisfy us.”

• Insight: The disciples’ inability to see who Jesus truly was stemmed from focusing on His physical form, not His divine essence.

  "Jesus' physical body was an actual hindrance to them knowing who He really was." — Andrew Wommack (02:30)

• Many believe they’d have stronger faith if they’d seen Jesus physically, but Andrew argues that Jesus’ humanity actually made it harder for those around Him to grasp His divinity.

2. The Real You: Spirit, Not Flesh (03:10–12:00)

• Andrew explains that just as Jesus was God in flesh, our true identity lies not in our bodies, but in our spirits.

• Quoting John 6:63 and James 2:26, he underscores that "the spirit is what gives life."

• Relates creation account: God “breathed” (spirit) into Adam.

• Getting “born again” means receiving a new spirit; the body and mind remain the same, but fundamentally, “old things passed away” refers to the spirit being made new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

• Vehicle Analogy: Your body is just the vehicle you travel in—it isn’t “you.” Treating someone based only on their appearance is missing the real person.

  "If you are relating to people only on the basis of who they are in the natural, you are missing the real them." — Andrew Wommack (09:50)

3. Knowing Christ Beyond the Flesh (12:00–17:00)

• Refers to Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 5:16-17, emphasizing that we must not “know” others, or Christ, just in the flesh.

• Paul likely saw Jesus physically in Jerusalem—he could have described Him—but initially missed the true, spiritual identity of Christ (15:20).

• Only after Paul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus (as a blinding light, not a body) did he come to know the real Jesus.

  "At one time, I knew Jesus after the flesh, but now I know him by the Spirit." — Andrew Wommack paraphrasing Paul (16:35)

4. Revelation by the Spirit Surpasses Physical Experience (17:00–21:00)

• Paul’s superior understanding of grace, compared to even Peter (who spent years physically with Jesus), came by revelation, not physical proximity.

• Getting to know Jesus “spirit to spirit” brings deeper, true knowledge.

  "You can actually come to know God better through the spirit than you can through the physical, natural realm." — Andrew Wommack (18:50)

• Shares a personal testimony: Watching The Passion of the Christ was less impactful than the revelation he’d received spiritually about Jesus’ suffering—the spiritual revelation was “greater than what was physically being portrayed.”

5. Emphasizing Spiritual Reality Over Carnal Thinking (21:00–23:07)

• Andrew affirms that the greatest revelation—and deepest satisfaction in Jesus—comes by revelation from the Holy Spirit.

• Asserts that relating to God, and to others, in the physical realm alone is "carnal" (not merely sinful, but limited to the five senses).

  "Some people will take offense at this...because they're carnal. They are just into the physical realm." — Andrew Wommack (13:45)

• Encourages listeners to seek God “spirit to spirit” and expect a relationship beyond mere intellectual or sensory knowledge.

Memorable Quotes & Notable Moments

• On the Incarnation:
  “God’s hand is so big that the entire universe...all fits in the palm of His hand. And yet this almighty God entered into a physical body, was born as a little baby, and had to grow.” (01:17)

• On Spiritual Identity:
  “The real you isn’t your physical body...if you haven’t thought about this and let the Holy Spirit reveal these things to you, this is just so far removed from the way most people think.” (05:20)

• On Carnality:
  “…not all carnality is sin. The word carnal is just referring to the physical realm…dominated by what you can see, taste, hear, smell and feel.” (14:50)

• On Spiritual Knowledge:
  “Knowing things by the Spirit is greater than knowing things by the flesh.” (22:50)

The “real you” is your born-again spirit, and the most profound revelation—life-changing and satisfying—comes from the Holy Spirit’s work within.
