August 4 | Daily Devotion | The Mark Of New Covenant Blessing Is Not Wealth And Health | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · 11m · CFC Daily Devotions
True blessing under the New Covenant is not measured by material wealth and health, but by spiritual transformation and union with Christ. The mark of God's blessing is internal holiness and a clear vision of Christ, not external prosperity.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 38 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 12, 2015 · 24m
The sermon emphasizes that effective prayer requires specificity, moving beyond general pleas like "have mercy." Furthermore, receiving God's blessing is not based on our desire or even God's desire, but strictly on the measure of our faith. The core principle is to trust in what God *can* do, rather than focusing on our own perceived limitations or what we can accomplish.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 35 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2015 · 24m
The speaker emphasizes that casting out demons requires faith, not just dramatic displays like screaming or prolonged fasting. He draws from scripture to show that Jesus often spoke a single word to cast out demons, and he warns against false teachings that encourage people to confess healing when they are not fully healed. True spiritual authority comes from submitting to God first, then resisting the devil, which is demonstrated by speaking the word of Jesus.

Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2015 · 24m
The sermon uses the account of Jesus calming the storm to teach that true discipleship requires overcoming the fear of death, which the speaker identifies as the highest form of slavery. Jesus's death, according to the speaker, was not only to forgive sins but also to render Satan powerless and deliver humanity from the fear of death. Overcoming this fear is achieved not through mental effort, but through receiving God's deliverance by faith.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 24 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2015 · 25m
The speaker continues studying Jesus' teachings, focusing on the wrong attitude of anxiety from Matthew 6:25-34. He argues that anxiety is not merely a weakness but a sin, equating it in seriousness to sins like murder or adultery because Jesus commanded believers to 'not be anxious.' The core message is that believers should trust in their Heavenly Father, who cares for them as much as He cares for the birds, and should not worry about basic needs like food or clothing.

The speaker emphasizes that true assurance of salvation comes from believing God's Word, not from emotional experiences or feelings, as the devil can mimic these. He strongly advises young people to prioritize reading the Bible daily, using all spare moments for study. Furthermore, he shares personal testimonies about God calling him to leave a secure career for ministry and stresses the importance of seeking counsel from older, wiser believers before making major life decisions.

Zac Poonen · Jan 29, 2015 · 41m

Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 1h 3m

8.The Righteousness Of Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 1h 5m
The sermon contrasts the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that obedience in the New Covenant stems from love, not fear or reward. The central message stresses that true faith is not based on intellectual understanding but on heart-level trust in the Lord, as exemplified by the poor and simple.

Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 1h 4m
The central message is that believers must obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit immediately, just as the body must obey the head. Jesus' peace is available when we follow His guidance, which is contrasted with the world's spirit controlled by Satan.

4.The Obedience Of Faith And Love - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 57m
The central message is the transition from the 'obedience of fear' to the 'obedience of faith.' The speaker argues that Old Testament obedience was often based on fear of punishment, like a child obeying out of fear of spanking. In contrast, the New Testament calls believers to the obedience of faith, which means trusting God's guidance even when the reasons are not fully understood, trusting that God knows what is best for us. This maturity is achieved through the Holy Spirit, moving us from being like children under the law to grown sons under grace.

The central message is that the believer's righteousness should flow effortlessly, like a river or tsunami, rather than being a constant struggle. The speaker emphasizes that the power residing in Christ within the believer is greater than any worldly or satanic force. True victory comes not from personal effort or weaponry, but from faith in God's power through Christ.

Zac Poonen · Jan 19, 2015 · 56m

Following Jesus' Perfect Faith - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Jan 7, 2015 · 40m

He draws from 2 Timothy 2:2, stressing that passing on the gospel requires entrusting it to men who are not only faithful but also full of faith. Ultimately, the message is that true faith is cultivated through brokenness, drawing parallels to Isaiah 53 to counter the devil's narrative that suffering means God is against us.

Being Full Of Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 59m
To remain consistently filled with the Holy Spirit, one must actively desire it, which requires valuing God above all else. This desire must be coupled with faith, meaning one trusts God to work in their life. Furthermore, maintaining this spiritual life requires keeping one's conscience clear by immediately confessing sin, and practicing humility by going down in the world rather than defending oneself.

Seek For Reality In Your Inner Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes that Christian teaching must be balanced, drawing from various prophetic messages throughout scripture rather than focusing on one area. He contrasts the law, which came through Moses, with grace, which was realized through Jesus Christ, asserting that grace is infinitely superior to the law. Ultimately, true understanding of grace is tested by recognizing that if sin rules one's life, they are under law, not grace, and faith must be rooted in the heart's choice, not just the mind's agreement.
