August 3 | Daily Devotion | Repentance Is The Mark Of Being Truly Born Again | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · 10m · CFC Daily Devotions
Repentance is the defining mark of a truly born-again Christian. Without genuine repentance—a turning away from sin with changed behavior—one's claim to conversion is hollow and superficial.

July 29 | Daily Devotion | Set Your Mind On The Things Above | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 28, 2026 · 10m
The message urges believers to set their minds on heavenly things rather than earthly concerns, drawing from Colossians 3:1-2 and Romans 12:2. This transformation involves adopting a heavenly perspective in all circumstances, which brings rest by affirming that God is always in control, even when things go wrong. Ultimately, living as a favorite child of God allows one's life to testify to the Father's love.

July 22 | Daily Devotion | How To Pray Without Ceasing? | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2026 · 10m
True prayer is not a ritualistic act but an all-encompassing attitude of mind, like breathing, which should be present at all times. The speaker emphasizes praying without ceasing by focusing on the 'attitude' rather than the duration, drawing parallels to the widow who sought legal protection for her rights. Therefore, believers must pray primarily for protection against Satan from stealing what Christ has purchased for us spiritually, such as peace and joy.

May 9 | Daily Devotion | The Christian Life Is Like A Race | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 8, 2026 · 11m
The Christian life is compared to a race, with Old Testament saints as witnesses in the stands. Believers must remove encumbrances and unresolved matters from their past that hinder progress, settle any debts or wrongs, and run with endurance while fixing their eyes on Jesus, understanding that overcoming daily temptations constitutes genuine spiritual progress.

April 27 | Daily Devotion | Things That Give Room To The Devil | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 26, 2026 · 8m
Zac Poonen teaches on Ephesians 4:26-31, explaining how Christians give the devil a foothold in their lives through unresolved anger, covetousness, stealing, corrupt speech, bitterness, and slander. He emphasizes that Satan was defeated at Calvary and has no rightful place in believers' thoughts, speech, finances, or homes, calling Christians to guard against worldly habits and trust God rather than seeking provision from others.

April 25 | Daily Devotion | Set Your Mind On Heavenly Things | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2026 · 10m
Zac Poonen teaches that believers should maintain a heavenly perspective by setting their minds on heavenly things rather than being bound to earthly concerns. He illustrates this with the metaphor of a rubber band tied to heaven that stretches down to earth for necessary daily tasks but must spring back up when those tasks are complete. This practice of keeping one's mind fixed on Christ's heavenly position is essential for experiencing spiritual victory, receiving God's revelation, and living as an overcoming Christian rather than remaining spiritually shallow and defeated.

April 22 | Daily Devotion | Listen To God As A Disciple To Resist The Devil | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 21, 2026 · 9m
Zac Poonen teaches that disciples must listen to God daily through prayer and Scripture reading, beginning each morning with an open ear to hear God's direction for the day. He emphasizes that spiritual strength comes through two practices: feeding on God's Word (at least 15 minutes daily) and actively resisting the devil's schemes through spiritual discipline and warfare, comparing this to physical nourishment and exercise needed for bodily strength.

April 2 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Made Satan Powerless Against You | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2026 · 8m
Jesus died on the cross not only to forgive sins and crucify our old nature, but specifically to make Satan powerless against believers. Satan, though not dead, is now paralyzed like a snake without the ability to harm those who recognize Christ's victory and stand in faith against him, freeing believers from fear of the devil.

March 6 | Daily Devotion | The Lord Will Fight For You If You Keep Silent | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 9m
The central message is that when facing conflict, the believer should remain silent and trust in God's fight. The speaker draws parallels from Psalm 46:10 ("Be still and know that I am God") and 2 Chronicles 20, advising that instead of fighting, one should stand still and wait for deliverance. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that spiritual warfare requires refusing to fight with human beings, as doing so forfeits power against Satan.

February 11 | Daily Devotion | God Will Exalt You At The Proper Time | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 10, 2026 · 10m
The central message is that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble, making humility the key to overcoming spiritual battles. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual strength comes not from religious knowledge or outward displays, but from deep humility, which frightens the devil. Believers should embrace difficult circumstances as the 'mighty hand of God' to be broken down and brought low, knowing that God will exalt them over sin and Satan at the proper time.

January 18 | Daily Devotion | God Shuts Down The Accusations Of Satan | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 17, 2026 · 12m
The message uses Zechariah 3 as a picture of the believer's life, contrasting Satan's accusations with the Lord's cleansing and clothing with Christ's righteousness. It emphasizes that while we all have imperfections, the believer's response, modeled by Zechariah, is to support and encourage a brother or sister rather than criticizing them. Ultimately, maintaining the church's light requires the sacrificial outpouring of life from fellow believers, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

January 12 | Daily Devotion | Love Of Money Will Cause Spiritual Blindness | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 11, 2026 · 9m
Love of money causes spiritual blindness and leads to compromise of spiritual principles. The sermon uses the example of Balaam, who was willing to curse God's people for financial gain despite clear direction from the Lord, illustrating how wealth and comfort can corrupt even those who claim to hear from God. The key warning is that those who love money will miss spiritual truths and God's guidance that others, even the humble and simple, can perceive.

November 15 | Daily Devotion | God Wants To Point Me Out To The Devil | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 14, 2025 · 13m
The Holy Spirit convinces believers of three things: the necessity of depending on Jesus, the assurance of righteousness before God, and the definitive judgment of the devil on the cross. The speaker emphasizes that the church must be a visible testimony to the devil, demonstrating the mystery of Christ where all social, racial, and cultural distinctions are broken down. Ultimately, believers should live lives—in private, in their families, and in their church—that are so evident in their devotion to God that they silence the devil's accusations.

October 31 | Daily Devotion | The Devil Has No Right To Any Part Of Me | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 30, 2025 · 11m
The central message is that because every part of a believer has been purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ, the devil has no right to occupy any area of our lives, mind, or body. Believers must take a strong, assertive position of faith, demanding justice and reclaiming what belongs to God. This requires total surrender, as God will only work in areas we willingly allow Him to enter.

October 30 |Daily Devotion | Persistent Faith For Spiritual Protection And Not For Earthly Blessings
Zac Poonen · Oct 29, 2025 · 10m
The message uses the parable of the persistent widow to emphasize that true faith requires persistent prayer and asking God for justice, not just for earthly blessings but for spiritual reclamation. The speaker warns that many Christians focus on material gains, allowing the enemy to occupy vital areas like the mind, emotions, and body. True faith means persistently claiming that everything—body, soul, and spirit—has been purchased by Christ's blood and belongs to God.

July 29 | Daily Devotion | Set Your Mind On The Things Above | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 28, 2025 · 10m
The central message encourages believers to set their minds on heavenly realities rather than earthly concerns, drawing from Colossians 3:2. By remembering that they have been raised and seated with Christ, the believer's perspective must shift to a heavenly standpoint. This mindset allows one to find rest, peace, and assurance in God's ultimate control, even when facing unexpected difficulties or crises.

July 22 | Daily Devotion | How To Pray Without Ceasing? | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2025 · 10m
True prayer is not a ritual or a timed activity, but a constant attitude of mind, like breathing. The speaker emphasizes that believers should strive to pray without ceasing by keeping Jesus's reality at the forefront of their minds throughout the day. Furthermore, prayer should focus on asking God for protection against the enemy (Satan) from stealing what Christ has purchased for us spiritually, such as peace, joy, and love.

April 22 | Daily Devotion | Listen To God As A Disciple To Resist The Devil | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 21, 2025 · 9m
The speaker urges listeners to prioritize listening to God daily, suggesting this requires dedicating time to God's word, like reading for 15 minutes daily. He emphasizes that spiritual strength is built not only by feeding on scripture but also by actively resisting the devil's schemes, comparing this to physical exercise. Knowing the enemy's tactics is crucial for spiritual warfare and building resilience.

April 2 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Made Satan Powerless Against You | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2025 · 8m
The central message is that Jesus Christ defeated Satan on the cross, rendering him powerless against believers. The speaker emphasizes that because of this victory, believers should no longer live in fear of Satan, but rather walk in freedom. He encourages the audience to declare this victory confidently, comparing Satan's current state to a paralyzed snake rather than claiming he is dead.

March 11 | Daily Devotion | Discern Every Spirit And Keep Your Conscience Clear | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 10, 2025 · 11m
The speaker emphasizes the critical need for discernment when evaluating spiritual teaching, warning against being swayed by a preacher's spirit rather than just their accurate words. He stresses that true Christian living requires maintaining a blameless conscience before God and man, which involves constant confession and reconciliation. Ultimately, he cautions against the dangers of cults, which seek money, control, and misuse women, contrasting this with the freedom found in adhering strictly to Scripture.

March 6 | Daily Devotion | The Lord Will Fight For You If You Keep Silent | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 5, 2025 · 9m
The central message is that when facing conflict, the believer should remain silent and trust in God's fight on their behalf. The speaker draws from Psalm 46:10, advising to 'be still and know that I am God,' and uses the example of King Jehoshaphat to illustrate that fear dissipates when one seeks the Lord. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that true spiritual strength comes from refusing to fight with human beings, as this focus distracts from the spiritual warfare against evil principalities.

February 23 | Daily Devotion | The Overcoming Life In The New Covenant | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 22, 2025 · 12m
The message discusses the struggle between the law of sin in the flesh and the desire to live a holy life, drawing from Romans 7. The central message is that while believers are not free from sin, they can overcome it through the mind's determination to follow God's law. Furthermore, the speaker warns against the 'no entry roads' of self-condemnation and discouragement, emphasizing that Christian growth is a process requiring active cooperation with the Holy Spirit, as detailed in Philippians 2:12.

January 18 | Daily Devotion | God Shuts Down The Accusations Of Satan | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 17, 2025 · 12m
The message uses Zechariah 3 as an illustration of the New Covenant reality: Satan constantly accuses believers, but the Lord rebukes him and clothes the believer with the righteousness of Christ. The key takeaway is that believers must emulate Zechariah by supporting their brothers and sisters, not by accusing them, but by loving enough to help them grow in Christ. This ministry is sustained by the Holy Spirit, which empowers us to overcome life's mountains through grace.

January 4 | Daily Devotion | Discerning The Spirit Of Babylon | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 3, 2025 · 13m
The message contrasts the 'Spirit of Babylon' with the 'New Jerusalem' (the bride of Christ), warning that spiritual adultery comes from being unfaithful to Christ. This unfaithfulness is characterized by friendship with the world system, which deceives those who claim to be Christian. The speaker emphasizes that true devotion involves doing the will of God, contrasting the world's lusts (flesh, eyes, pride) with the life found in Christ.

November 23 | Daily Devotion | The Spirit Of The World | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 22, 2024 · 10m
Jesus died not only to save us from our sins but also to rescue us from the 'spirit of the world'—a mindset governed by worldly values. The speaker warns that loving the world, which manifests as excessive consumption of media or materialism, will squeeze out the love for God. True discipleship requires drawing a clear line between oneself and the world's desires, choosing instead to live according to God's will.
