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.

BUILDING THE BODY OF CHRIST: 6.Loving The Truth - Zac Poonen (Hindi)
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 57m
The central message emphasizes that true unity—whether in marriage, church, or personal life—is only possible when believers are filled with the Holy Spirit and adhere to God's Word. The speaker warns that people can be deceived by false teachings, the lure of money, or personal desires, as these things can make us think we are growing spiritually when we are not. True spiritual growth requires constant reliance on the Spirit and recognizing the truth over superficial appearances.

The Laws Of The Spirit And The Body - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 58m
The speaker contrasts the 'law of Moses' with the 'law of the Spirit,' emphasizing that the latter is life found in Christ Jesus, not a written code. True understanding of the gospel requires living out the Spirit's life, which sets believers free from the law of sin and death, preventing self-condemnation. Following Christ's example means living visibly according to the Spirit's life, rather than merely understanding doctrine or admiring Jesus from a distance.

Yielded, Blessed And Broken - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 21, 2014 · 57m
The central message is that Christians must bear witness to Christ through their entire way of life, not just by speaking about Him. Drawing parallels from Israel's failures and the calling of the early church, the speaker emphasizes that being a witness means living so visibly for Christ that neighbors and colleagues see the transformation in one's life. This calling is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and the responsibility to meet the needs of others, even when feeling inadequate, is a divine command.

Showing Jesus By Our Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 18, 2014 · 58m
The central message is that the church's primary witness to the world is not merely through speaking the word, but through living a life that reflects God's goodness. Drawing from Acts 14 and John 20, the speaker emphasizes that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to be witnesses through their very lives. A true church, marked by the presence of Jesus, should exhibit a life that testifies to God's reality, lest it become merely an imitation lacking the essential 'fire' of the Spirit.

The Spirit And The Word Change Us - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 18, 2014 · 57m
The sermon uses Genesis 1 to illustrate that life, like creation, is a process of gradual, divine restoration following the fall into sin. Sin creates an internal vacuum that people try to fill with worldly things like sex, money, or power. True restoration comes only when this vacuum is filled with God, which happens through the gentle work of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, leading to a gradual transformation into the image of Christ.

Immersed In The Holy Spirit - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 13, 2014 · 1h 5m
The speaker cautions against seeking spiritual experiences based on personal testimonies, emphasizing that true understanding must come from diligent study of Scripture. He uses the example of the Bereans, who were praised for examining the Scriptures daily, to illustrate that believers must test all claims against God's Word. The central message is that one must understand the true meaning of Jesus' name—which signifies salvation from sin—rather than treating prayer as a mere mantra or relying on tradition.

True partnership means aligning one's life and desires with God's divine purpose.

The Spirit of Prophecy For The Last Days - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 12, 2014 · 58m
The speaker interprets Joel's prophecy regarding the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the last days, noting that this event began on Pentecost. He emphasizes that the spiritual inheritance promised to God's sons and daughters is crucial, warning that earthly achievements and possessions will be worthless compared to this spiritual calling. The ultimate goal should not merely be reaching heaven, but being saved from sin and being with Jesus.

The Spirit Of Resurrection - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 12, 2014 · 1h 1m
The speaker discusses the significance of the Holy Spirit, referencing the title 'Spirit of Him Who Raised Jesus from the Dead' in Romans 8:11. He emphasizes that true Christian life requires voluntarily laying down one's earthly life, similar to Christ, and that the Holy Spirit dwells permanently in the heart of those who are willing and humble. Maintaining this permanent residence requires immediate confession of sin and constant humility.

The Upward Pathway To Glory - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 12, 2014 · 58m
The speaker contrasts the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that while the Old Testament is instructive, the New Covenant through Christ is superior because the Holy Spirit dwells within believers. He advises that instead of focusing on the sin of others, a true New Covenant believer should focus on confessing and seeking deliverance from their own sin, particularly concerning their own deceitful tongue and hypocrisy.

Being Balanced In The Christian Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 22, 2014 · 1h 15m
The central message is that the Christian life's goal is not merely the forgiveness of sins, but attaining the 'glory of Christ.' This pursuit requires constant effort, as illustrated by Paul's resolve to press on toward that goal. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that living this life requires continuous dependence on the Holy Spirit, which is accessed through faith—believing God is more eager to grant the Spirit than the believer is to receive it.

6.Q&A Session (Part-2) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 25, 2014 · 49m
The speaker emphasizes that the power to witness for Christ comes from continuously seeking the Holy Spirit's filling to overcome sin. He advises living according to one's current conscience, not the standard of others, and cautions that grace to overcome sin is maintained through humility, not by retaining gifts. True ministry is characterized by an intimate relationship with God, not just supernatural gifts.

Living As Jesus Lived: 1.The Holy Spirit Sets Us Free - Zac Poonen (Romanian)
Zac Poonen · Jun 13, 2014 · 1h 4m
The speaker argues that many modern Christian teachings are incomplete, comparing them to a portrait of Jesus missing vital pieces. He emphasizes that true Christian life must follow the Word of God completely, not just partially. He stresses that believers should prioritize following Jesus in the present life rather than just securing a place in heaven, and that the church must model Christ's example by rejecting materialism and financial dependence.

Love Is The Greatest - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 22, 2014 · 59m
The speaker warns that many Christians are missing their true inheritance in Christ, being satisfied with mere forgiveness rather than the full life offered by the new covenant. He emphasizes that true spiritual life requires more than just cleansing from past sins; it demands justification, where Christ's righteousness clothes us, leading to an internal transformation empowered by the Holy Spirit. This internal work, which the law could never achieve, is the ultimate purpose God desires for believers.

Three Characteristics Of God's House - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 22, 2014 · 56m
The speaker outlines three essential characteristics of God's house: the foundation of the Bible and obedience to God's word, the constant fire of the Holy Spirit, and the necessity of reaching out to others rather than focusing on self-benefit. He emphasizes that the 'house' today is the church and its relationships, which must be renovated through forgiveness, reconciliation, and outward focus, mirroring the principles of the Jubilee.

The Spirit Of Resurrection - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 21, 2014 · 1h 0m
The central message is that true belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ must fundamentally change one's daily life and values, distinguishing genuine faith from mere intellectual assent. The speaker warns that simply being born into a Christian family or reciting prayers is insufficient; one must genuinely experience the Holy Spirit to make Christ a living reality in the heart. This spiritual reality is what truly validates the resurrection and should govern all aspects of life.

Raising Our Children For God (3 of 7) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 21, 2014 · 17m
The speaker discusses the spiritual challenges facing Christians in the last days, noting that disobedience to parents is a growing issue. He emphasizes that parents' primary calling is not merely teaching practical skills, but rather modeling and explaining what God is like to their children. This modeling—through attitude toward people versus material things—is how children learn to see God, which requires being filled with the Holy Spirit.

BEGINNING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE ARIGHT | Four Foundational Truths - Zac Poonen (1 of 8)
Zac Poonen · May 19, 2014 · 1h 6m
The speaker outlines four foundational truths for new Christians: repentance, faith, water baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that true repentance means turning away from earthly concerns and focusing on the Kingdom of Heaven, citing John the Baptist's message. He warns that many people mistake mere religious activity or belief in 'faith' for genuine repentance, which requires a fundamental shift in priorities.

Zac Poonen · May 9, 2014 · 1h 2m
This message addresses the danger of legalism, contrasting it with the true work of the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that genuine Christian living is not based on adherence to rules or works, but on the empowering presence and guidance of the Spirit. The core message is to rely on grace and the Spirit's power rather than self-imposed religious obligations.

New Covenant Servants: 1.Motivated By Love - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 8, 2014 · 53m
The speaker distinguishes between serving under the old covenant and serving under the new covenant. He explains that the old covenant operated on a basis of obedience to avoid curses and gain rewards, much like parenting. In contrast, the new covenant requires service motivated purely by love for Christ, as exemplified by Jesus's questioning of Peter. True service in the new covenant flows from an inner cleansing and relationship with the Holy Spirit, not merely adherence to external laws.

1.God Honours Those Who Honour Him - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that God's divine power, received through the Holy Spirit, is a free gift, much like the forgiveness of sins, and should not be treated as something to be earned through works. This divine power grants everything pertaining to life and godliness, meaning believers have no excuse for remaining enslaved to known sins. True knowledge of God, which is central to eternal life, is imparted by the Holy Spirit.

4.Partaking Of God's Nature - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 59m
The sermon reviews God's promises, emphasizing that the ultimate goal is for believers to partake of God's nature. The speaker urges listeners to seek honor from God rather than man, cultivate a heart filled with heaven's virtues (righteousness, peace, joy), and remain humble to receive God's sufficient grace. True transformation into Christ's image requires complete submission to the Lordship of the Holy Spirit.

CFC Messages · Mar 29, 2014 · 1h 15m
The speaker emphasizes that true holiness originates from within, residing in the heart and mind, rather than being merely external adherence to rules or outward displays. He contrasts this internal transformation with worldly distractions like music and money, asserting that the Holy Spirit's work is internal, leading to a life that reflects the glory of Jesus Christ. The message stresses that the greatest work of God is writing His law on the heart, which is the essence of true spiritual life.

CFC Messages · Mar 29, 2014 · 55m
The speaker emphasizes that true holiness and revival must come from within, not just from outward appearances or impressive church buildings. He draws a parallel between cleaning the inside of a house and the necessity of purifying the heart and life of believers. The central message is that genuine holiness is manifested in the private life, the home, and the ability to control one's inner self, which is only possible through the filling of the Holy Spirit.
