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.

How Do You Know You're Baptized In The Holy Spirit - By Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 19, 2024 · 3m 18s
The speaker addresses the common misconception regarding the 'mark' of being baptized in the Holy Spirit, clarifying that tongues are not the required sign. Instead, the core message is that the Holy Spirit grants power, which empowers an individual to be effective in the specific ministry God has called them to. True power enhances one's existing calling—whether it's being a mother, teacher, or something else—rather than automatically transforming them into an evangelist.

How To Show Our Gratitude To The Lord - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 5, 2024 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that true gratitude to Christ is not merely wanting to go to heaven, but actively living a life of devotion to Him on Earth. He warns against spiritual complacency, urging listeners to follow the 'ancient way' taught by the Apostles—which involves daily self-denial and taking up the cross. The core message is that while salvation is by grace, it requires actively sowing to the Spirit, which is the path to finding true rest from anxiety and fear.

Sanctification | 1. A Pure Spirit - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2024 · 51m
The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual growth, or sanctification, is entirely God's work, not something humans can produce through effort or discipline. He advises that believers must resist the temptation to sacrifice the quality of their ministry work for the sake of quantity, remembering that God is more interested in the quality of the work. Ultimately, genuine sanctification must begin with God's initiating work in the heart, distinguishing it from self-effort.

A Spirit-Controlled Tongue - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 30, 2024 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes that the control of the tongue is the ultimate test of one's spirituality, drawing parallels between the tongues of fire at Pentecost and the warning against uncontrolled speech. He argues that faith without works, particularly the work of controlling one's speech, renders one's entire religion worthless, comparing it to a body without a spirit. The message urges listeners to guard their tongues, as they are the most important instrument the Holy Spirit intends to use for effective witness.

The Spirit Of Reality - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 30, 2024 · 1h 4m
The speaker emphasizes that true grace is not merely God overlooking sin, but the power enabling believers to overcome deep-seated sins like lust and anger. He distinguishes between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, arguing that Jesus brought 'truth'—which means reality—allowing believers to live truthfully in their innermost being. Ultimately, he stresses that genuine faith requires reading the Bible directly rather than relying on tradition or cultural influences.

Zac Poonen · Jul 4, 2024 · 57m
The speaker argues that the primary message missing in modern Christianity is the emphasis on holiness, which should govern every aspect of life, mirroring the way the Law governed Israel.

Furthermore, he cautions that money has dangerously replaced the power and focus of the Holy Spirit in contemporary church life.

Why God Gave Us The Bible | ದೇವರು ನಮಗೆ ಸತ್ಯವೇದವನ್ನು ಏಕೆ ನೀಡಿದರು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Nov 23, 2023 · 16m
The Bible was given by God primarily for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness so that believers can become complete men and women of God. True study involves meditating on Scripture daily, focusing not on accumulating knowledge but on allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal Christ within the text. Understanding Scripture requires a humble heart, not just intellectual intelligence.

Santosh Poonen · Sep 15, 2023 · 10m
