How God Led Me In My Life (My Testimony) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 30, 2021 · 1h 7m
The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires embracing the identity of an ordinary person, mirroring Jesus who claimed to be merely a man. He draws from scripture to teach that while the Holy Spirit reveals deep truths about Christ, the core lesson is humility, as Jesus always humbled himself and did not assert his own will. Believers must maintain a dual identity: feeling chosen by God before the foundation of the world, yet living outwardly as ordinary people who connect with everyone at their level.

How Jesus Lived Under Grace - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 24, 2021 · 1h 5m
The speaker corrects common misunderstandings about divine grace, arguing that it is not merely unmerited favor but a condition for living rightly, as exemplified by Jesus. He teaches that Jesus lived by relying on the grace of God, not his divine power, and that when a person is under grace, sin cannot rule over them. Ultimately, the speaker asserts that consistent humility, as taught in James 4:6, is the prerequisite for receiving God's grace.

Zac Poonen - God Gives Revelation Only To The Humble
Zac Poonen · Nov 22, 2021 · 21m
God grants true revelation not to the wise or intelligent, but only to those who are humble, comparing this state to that of a baby. The speaker emphasizes that while knowledge can make one feel superior, revelation humbles and requires a heart-level surrender. Ultimately, all human effort is nothing in eternity unless it is done in helpless dependence upon Jesus Christ.

The Absolute Importance of Submission to Authority - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 27, 2021 · 56m

Submission to authority means consistently yielding your own will to the will of God, regardless of convenience, which is presented as the secret to the most perfect life. The speaker encourages listeners to apply this principle to every area of life, including forgiving others.

How Jesus Lived Under Grace -- Zac Poonen -- August 22, 2021
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2021 · 1h 5m
The speaker argues that grace is often misunderstood, asserting that it is not merely unmerited favor but a condition under which sin cannot rule. He uses Jesus' life on earth as an example, noting that Jesus lived by example, not by exercising his divine power. True grace, according to the speaker, is received by the humble, as scripture teaches that God opposes the proud. Therefore, overcoming sin requires embracing humility and acknowledging that one's ability to live righteously is dependent on God's grace.

Zac Poonen · Jul 4, 2021 · 1h 16m
The speaker emphasizes that everything—thoughts, attitudes, and motives—is completely visible to God. He stresses that believers must live with the constant awareness that God is the *only* one with whom they truly have to do. This recognition is crucial because people often behave as if they need to manage the opinions of others, which hinders true freedom in Christ.

Zac Poonen - The Most Important Commandment

The central message emphasizes that true Christian growth comes not from impressive knowledge or ministry activity, but from loving the Lord with one's whole self and loving one's fellow believers. The speaker argues that genuine spirituality is found in humility, comparing the pursuit of knowledge to the 'tree of knowledge' versus the life found in the 'tree of life,' which is accessed through humble devotion. Ultimately, Christian growth requires moving understanding from the mind to the heart, which is achieved through humility.

Elisha: The Holy, Humble, Anointed Man of God - Zac Poonen | Hindi
Zac Poonen · Jun 2, 2021 · 58m
