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.

Zac Poonen · Mar 27, 2022 · 58m
The message emphasizes that while love should be the greatest aim, believers should also ask for the special gifts of the Holy Spirit, particularly prophecy. Prophetic words are vital today for encouraging, edifying, and building up the church, especially as external pressures increase. The goal is to be receptive to the Spirit's word so that it can be an effective witness.

Our Calling is to be Heavenly-Minded - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 7, 2022 · 52m
The central message is that believers must adopt a 'heavenly-minded' perspective by understanding their union with Christ—that they died, were buried, and were raised with Him. This spiritual reality means believers should focus their minds on things above, not earthly attachments. To achieve this, one must rely on the Holy Spirit to detach from worldly desires, recognizing that their life is now hidden with Christ in God.

Don't Ever Lose Heart or Feel Condemned - Zac Poonen (SPANISH Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Jan 27, 2022 · 57m
The speaker encourages believers not to lose heart or become discouraged, drawing from Paul's experience in 2 Corinthians. He emphasizes that discouragement can drain spiritual power and reminds the audience that God works all things, even difficult circumstances, together for good, ultimately conforming us to the image of Christ. Furthermore, he teaches that true spiritual understanding comes when the veil is removed by the Holy Spirit, allowing believers to see the glory of Jesus Christ when reading scripture.

Zac Poonen - For Children: The Holy Spirit Comes Inside us to Supply Our Every Need
Zac Poonen · Jan 24, 2022 · 28m
The speaker contrasts God's work in the Old Testament, where help was external, with the New Testament, where God comes to live inside believers. This internal presence, powered by the Holy Spirit, provides the strength to overcome sin from within, unlike the external help of the past. This internal power is necessary because repeated confession of sin without internal change is insufficient.

Why God Gave My Wife A Blessed Ministry - Zac Poonen (Hindi)
Zac Poonen · Dec 10, 2021 · 29m
The speaker recounts his wife's journey into ministry, highlighting that her calling came not through conventional means like Bible study, but through divine providence. He details how God used setbacks—such as her failing a practical medical exam and the financial struggles of her husband—to keep her in a location where she could meet him and begin their life together. The core message is that God uses seemingly negative circumstances to achieve His greater purpose.

Keeping Our Conscience Clear Always | अपने विवेक को निरन्तर साफ रखना | Zac Poonen | Hindi
Zac Poonen · Dec 2, 2021 · 50m
The central message emphasizes maintaining a clear conscience by refusing to give credit or glory to Satan for anything, as all power belongs to God the Father in heaven. The speaker draws parallels between the body's vulnerability (due to sin) and the need for a pure heart and conscience, asserting that true freedom and blessing come from being filled with the Holy Spirit, which purifies all areas of our inner life.

God Has Much More for His Children -- Zac Poonen -- December 1, 2021
Zac Poonen · Dec 2, 2021 · 52m
The sermon contrasts the old covenant with the new covenant, emphasizing that true spiritual greatness comes not from external gifts or ministry prowess, but from having the Holy Spirit dwelling within one's heart. The speaker urges the congregation to focus on 'being' more Christ-like in daily life and conversation rather than merely 'doing' impressive spiritual works. Ultimately, the greatest value lies in possessing the Spirit within, which allows one to relate to God with intimacy, as exemplified by the cry of 'Abba, Father.'

The Blood Of Christ - What It Does - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 24, 2021 · 1h 3m
The speaker emphasizes that true, lasting joy comes only from being in the constant presence of God, which is achieved by being free from the spirit of condemnation. He contrasts the old covenant's ministry of condemnation with the new covenant's ministry of the Holy Spirit, which convicts of sin but never condemns. Believers must learn to distinguish between the two, recognizing that God's communication is always one of hope and restoration, never worthlessness.

Being A Witness For God To Satan - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2021 · 48m
The speaker discusses the unique nature of ministry in the New Covenant, contrasting it with the Old Testament where prophets often worked in isolation. He emphasizes that the Church functions as the Body of Christ, requiring teamwork, as seen in the early apostles. The central message is that Christian ministry should not seek to prove God's favor through worldly victory or triumph over enemies, but rather should live solely to please the Father, relying on the Holy Spirit's revelation, which requires humility.

Seven Things We Must Always Do | सात बातें जो हमें हमेशा करनी चाहिए | Zac Poonen | Hindi
Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2021 · 1h 7m
The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship requires more than just hearing the gospel; it demands a deep, internal transformation that mirrors Christ's life. The speaker contrasts the old covenant's focus on external adherence to law with the new covenant's emphasis on an internal life empowered by the Holy Spirit. Key takeaways include the necessity of living by the Spirit's power, embracing forgiveness, and understanding that true spiritual life is a continuous process of following Christ's example.

Living The Christ Life In The Family First | मसीह का जीवन प्रथम परिवार में जीना | Zac Poonen | Hindi
Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2021 · 1h 10m
The central message is that Christian life, particularly within the family, must first manifest the life of Christ. The speaker uses the analogy of a non-functioning DVD player to argue that one cannot effectively share the Gospel if it does not work in one's own home. He emphasizes that God desires to begin His work in our hearts and homes first, drawing parallels to the temple in Exodus and highlighting the necessity of being filled with the Holy Spirit and standing against the devil, which are prerequisites for living out a Christ-like family life.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit - The Genuine and the Counterfeit - Zac Poonen | Hindi
Zac Poonen · Nov 17, 2021 · 1h 3m
The speaker emphasizes that while Bible knowledge and spiritual disciplines are valuable, they are insufficient without the baptism in the Holy Spirit. He draws a parallel to seeking forgiveness, noting that only those who realize the depth of their spiritual sickness will actively seek God. The core message is that a genuine desire for the Holy Spirit's fullness, rather than mere intellectual understanding, is necessary for a life transformed by God's power.

A Challenge to Greater Godliness - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 2, 2021 · 1h 6m
The central message is that every Christian is called to be a witness to what the Lord has done in their lives, regardless of natural gifting. The speaker urges listeners not to be complacent, comparing a lukewarm Christian life to a beautiful house without electricity. To truly live out their faith, believers must be filled with the Holy Spirit to overcome shyness and seize every opportunity to share the gospel, especially with their immediate family.

Zac Poonen · Oct 31, 2021 · 1h 40m
The message encourages the congregation to hear the Lord's call to walk with Him in a deeper, closer manner, referencing John's vision on Patmos. It emphasizes that while not everyone is called to preach or evangelize, all Christians are called to be witnesses of what the Lord has done in them, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Elders: You Should Lead Your People Into the New Covenant -- Zac Poonen -- September 18, 2021
Zac Poonen · Sep 19, 2021 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes that claiming to be a 'new covenant church' requires understanding its core implication: the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which was unprecedented under the old covenant. He warns against counterfeits, such as those taught in some charismatic circles, and stresses that true assurance of salvation and the Spirit's work must come from a personal, undeniable witness from God. Furthermore, he distinguishes between the initial filling, continuous experience, and the lifelong process of growing into Christ's likeness, urging leaders to maintain a constant dependence on God.

Global Online Meeting Q&A -- Zac Poonen -- September 11, 2021
Zac Poonen · Sep 13, 2021 · 1h 29m
The speaker advises developing a lifelong thirst for God by consistently reading the Bible with an open heart, seeking a challenge from God's word daily. To maintain this hunger, one must confess sins and forgive others, as these simple acts keep the 'fire burning' in the heart. He also addresses questions on baptism and the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that belief is paramount and that the Spirit's work is sovereign, like the wind, and not dictated by ritual.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit - The Genuine and the Counterfeit -- Zac Poonen -- September 11, 2021
Zac Poonen · Sep 12, 2021 · 1h 4m
The speaker emphasizes that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a transformative experience that goes beyond mere behavioral improvement, requiring a deep, internal change of heart devoted to God. He stresses that this experience is not for everyone but is specifically for those who are desperately thirsty for more than their current comfortable Christian life. True desire for the Spirit is what draws one to Christ, just as one seeks forgiveness for sin.

The Secret of Living in God's Presence Always -- Zac Poonen -- September 8, 2021
Zac Poonen · Sep 9, 2021 · 51m
The central message is that through the New Covenant, believers have the unprecedented privilege of dwelling in God's constant presence, mirroring Jesus' life. This access was made possible by the rending of the veil at Jesus' death, allowing Christians to live an unshakeable life by keeping the Lord continually before them. The speaker urges listeners to move beyond merely accepting Jesus as a savior to understanding him as our baptizer in the Holy Spirit and our forerunner into God's immediate presence.

Zac Poonen · Sep 5, 2021 · 1h 11m
The message emphasizes the necessity of being filled with the Holy Spirit, noting that this power from on high is essential for living the Christian life, echoing Jesus' own ministry. The speaker also cautions against basing church affiliation on convenience or size, pointing out that Jesus' ministry was not defined by large crowds but by divine power.

Filled With the Spirit and Overcoming Satan -- Zac Poonen -- September 1, 2021
Zac Poonen · Sep 2, 2021 · 56m
The sermon contrasts the Pharisees, who had correct doctrines but corrupt inner lives, with the need for believers to live according to their faith. The central message emphasizes that merely knowing doctrine or having a good external appearance is insufficient; one must actively 'work out' what God is already working in them through the Holy Spirit. This involves proving oneself to be a blameless child of God by eliminating grumbling and complaining, thereby being a light in a crooked generation.

Demonstrating God's Manifold Wisdom To Satan - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 1, 2021 · 1h 1m
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding and revelation come through the filling of the Holy Spirit, allowing believers to grasp mysteries beyond what Jesus taught during his earthly ministry. Furthermore, he teaches that Christian witness extends beyond humanity to include confronting Satan, as believers are called to proclaim the manifold wisdom of God to the spiritual authorities. Overcoming Satan is achieved not by promising future improvement, but by confessing that the blood of Jesus has cleansed all past sin and by boldly declaring one's testimony.

The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation -- Zac Poonen -- August 29, 2021
Zac Poonen · Aug 30, 2021 · 48m
The central message is the necessity of seeking the fullness of the Holy Spirit to gain the boldness required to witness for Christ publicly, regardless of ridicule. The speaker urges listeners to move beyond a merely 'good' Christian life to one characterized by shameless devotion to Jesus. True spiritual growth is demonstrated by being willing to confess Christ even when it brings shame.

Thank God For The Past But Press On To Greater Heights - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 25, 2021 · 49m
The speaker reflects on 46 years of ministry, emphasizing that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, rather than doctrine alone, is the source of true spiritual power. He draws parallels to Isaiah 32, noting that the Spirit transforms barrenness into fertile ground where righteousness and peace dwell. True Christian life, he argues, requires continuous filling with the Spirit to achieve victory over sin and live in constant immersion under the Spirit's power.

Zac Poonen · Aug 22, 2021 · 1h 41m
The message emphasizes that being filled with the Holy Spirit is the key to Christian witness, providing the power and ability to know God and overcome temptation. The speaker contrasts this with the parable of the talents, warning that many Christians waste their lives by viewing God as a demanding master rather than recognizing His immense love. True holiness comes from understanding God's loving nature.
