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.

transcribingGod's Commands Can All Be Obeyed - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 31, 2013 · 57m
The sermon addresses the concept of obeying all of God's commands, emphasizing that true obedience stems from a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit. It teaches that while the commands are numerous, the core message is one of complete surrender and living in right relationship with God. The speaker encourages believers to focus on the heart condition rather than just the list of rules.

COIMBATORE CONFERENCE - Session 2 - 11.45 AM to 1.00 PM | Zac Poonen.
Zac Poonen · Oct 26, 2013 · 1h 7m
The speaker discusses the inadequacy of the old covenant and the law to truly change humanity, comparing it to trying to repair an old, irreparable car. He emphasizes that true transformation requires recognizing one's inherent sinfulness and accepting that the old self must be crucified with Christ. Furthermore, he stresses the necessity of daily self-denial—choosing the 'way of death to self' every day—and actively seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit, distinguishing this divine life from merely 'good' living.

Zac Poonen · Oct 26, 2013 · 1h 20m
The speaker emphasizes the need for the Holy Spirit to come into the heart, ensuring that every word spoken by God comes directly to the listener's heart for true transformation. He encourages the congregation to pray for this divine impartation, asking God to remove any laziness or sleepiness from their hearts so that what they hear will work in their lives.

7.In the things to come Jerusalem vs Babylon - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 18, 2013 · 47m
The sermon discusses prophetic passages concerning the Second Coming of Christ, using the fig tree as a primary analogy. Jesus's cursing of the fig tree symbolized Israel's lack of fruitfulness, representing a spiritual failure. The speaker argues that while the physical nation of Israel has seen resurrections and rebuilding, the spiritual fruitfulness—the manifestation of the Holy Spirit—is still lacking, though the religious activity continues. The message warns that the signs of the end times are becoming apparent.

1.Seeing the Glory of Christ in His Person - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 18, 2013 · 1h 7m
The central message is that the primary ministry of the Holy Spirit is to reveal the glory of Jesus Christ, not merely through the study of scripture. While one can study the Bible extensively, this can lead to accumulating doctrine without truly seeing Christ's glory. True revelation, as exemplified by Peter, comes through the Holy Spirit, allowing one to see the glory of Jesus Christ, which is superior to mere scholarly knowledge.

The Helper Has Come - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 21, 2013 · 56m
Jesus came not only to forgive sins but also to fill believers with the Holy Spirit, enabling them to be a source of 'Living Water' for others. The speaker explains that the Holy Spirit was not merely poured out externally, as in the Old Testament, but was given to dwell within the believer's innermost spirit after the veil was rent at the cross. Living in the New Covenant requires allowing the Spirit to dwell within to flow out continually, rather than living under the old covenant's system of fear, punishment, and reward.

The "Maximum" Christian - Zac Poonen - June 29, 2013
Zac Poonen · Jul 1, 2013 · 54m
The speaker emphasizes that while the blood of Christ is necessary for salvation, a genuine fullness of the Holy Spirit is essential for living a life pleasing to God on Earth. He distinguishes between 'life' (living according to Christ's principles) and 'ministry' (the work done by the body of Christ). Furthermore, he warns that salvation alone is insufficient; the quality of one's life's work will be tested by fire at Christ's return, not the quantity.

The Holy Spirit and the Word of God - Zac Poonen - June 28, 2013
Zac Poonen · Jul 1, 2013 · 1h 2m
The speaker uses Jacob's story from Genesis 28 to illustrate that God meets with sinners, not just the righteous, pointing to a prophetic dream of the ladder representing Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that the greatest need is for people to experience the Holy Spirit's work in their lives, moving beyond mere doctrine to a genuine, heart-level meeting with Jesus. The message concludes by tracing the biblical narrative from Genesis 1, showing God's plan to restore humanity's image after sin corrupted creation.

God Shows His Way To Those Who Fear Him - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that while humans often believe they know the right path, this perceived right way can actually lead to death. Drawing from Proverbs, the speaker stresses that we must not rely on our own reasoning but instead seek God's wisdom in every situation. The ultimate goal is to live with an attitude of complete dependence on the Holy Spirit for guidance.

The Power Of The Spirit To Make Us Christ Like - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 54m
The central message is that when God is with us, it means we have the power to overcome sin and choose good over evil, not that we will be protected from physical suffering or sickness. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to walk like Jesus, who never sinned and was good to everyone, proving God's presence. This power allows us to choose love and avoid hatred, as God's love is poured into our hearts through the Spirit.

United With Christ In His Resurrection - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 58m
The sermon emphasizes that true spiritual life comes not from mere knowledge of scripture or adherence to religious rules (the letter), but from being open to and guided by the Holy Spirit. The speaker uses examples from the Bible, such as Adam and Eve and the church in Laodicea, to illustrate that intellectual knowledge or outward religious activity can lead to spiritual death if pride is allowed to set in. Ultimately, believers must allow the Holy Spirit to convict them of sin rather than relying solely on their own understanding or study.

Through The Bible - English - 27 (Ezekiel) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon uses Ezekiel's calling as an example of God's calling, which often requires moving beyond one's initial plans and accepting necessary discipline. The speaker emphasizes that true service requires submission to God's will, even when it involves suffering or going to undesirable places. Furthermore, the vision of the wheels illustrates the sovereign working of God and the Holy Spirit in all life circumstances, regardless of direction.

Through The Bible - English - 39 (Luke-1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The speaker discusses the Gospel of Luke, noting its unique perspective as a Gentile writer detailing Jesus' life. A major theme emphasized is the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which the speaker warns against counterfeits, urging listeners to seek genuine power rather than mere emotional experiences. Furthermore, the speaker draws parallels between the Holy Spirit coming upon Mary to conceive Jesus and the Spirit coming upon the believer, noting that the purpose of this anointing is to produce the character of Christ in one's life.

Through The Bible - English - 44 (Acts-1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon analyzes Acts 1, emphasizing that the Christian life follows the pattern of Jesus first doing and then teaching. The speaker cautions against focusing on earthly blessings or understanding times and seasons, urging instead to seek the power of the Holy Spirit. True power empowers one's specific calling—whether it's motherhood, teaching, or ministry—rather than transforming one into a different role.

Through The Bible - English - 43 (John-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
Jesus's mission, according to John 6:38, was not merely to atone for sin but to live out the will of the Father by denying his own will, which is symbolized by taking up the cross. True spiritual power to deny the flesh and follow God's will comes only through the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, the true mark of God's blessing is not prosperity or longevity, but the continuous transformation of one's character to become more like Christ.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 14 (2 Kings) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon analyzes 2 Kings, contrasting the Old Covenant ministry of Elijah with the New Covenant ministry of Jesus, emphasizing that the goal is salvation, not judgment. It uses Elisha's request for a double portion of the Spirit to illustrate that true spiritual growth requires continuous dissatisfaction with current blessings, always seeking more of the Holy Spirit. The speaker concludes by comparing the widow's oil miracle to the church's debt—a debt of un-preached gospel to the world.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 45 (Acts - 1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The speaker analyzes the structure of Luke's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, noting that Luke details what Jesus began to do and teach, while Acts describes what Jesus continued to do and teach through the church. He warns against modern deviations from Jesus' pattern, such as demanding financial support or changing core teachings, emphasizing that Jesus' character and mission remain constant. The talk concludes by stressing that the focus should be on the Kingdom of God and the power received through the Holy Spirit, as demonstrated by the early apostles.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 51 (2 Corinthians - 1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon emphasizes that Christian life is characterized by being ambassadors for Christ, requiring believers to undergo trials and suffering, as this process strengthens them for God's glory. The speaker contrasts the ministry of the letter (which can be restrictive and judgmental) with the ministry of the Spirit, which brings true life and victory over sin. Ultimately, true transformation comes from the Holy Spirit, not just from hearing powerful sermons.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 48 (Romans - 2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon outlines the logical progression of the Gospel through Romans, starting with humanity's sin and God's justification through Christ's death and resurrection. It emphasizes that true Christian life moves beyond merely accepting forgiveness (Romans 5) to actively becoming a servant of God (Romans 6). The core message contrasts the 'law' (human effort) with 'grace' (God's work), urging believers to rely on the Holy Spirit to write God's law in their hearts, rather than trying to achieve holiness through self-effort or legalism.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 26 (Isaiah - 3) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon emphasizes that preparing for Christ's return requires clearing the way for the Lord, which involves eliminating discouragement, pride, and roughness from our lives. Key themes include recognizing that all blessings are gifts from God, the necessity of relying on God's strength rather than our own, and understanding that God upholds and empowers His servants through the Holy Spirit. The speaker encourages meditating on Isaiah's prophecies to build faith in God's sovereignty and power.

Do Everything in Love for God and Man - Zac Poonen - March 3, 2013
Zac Poonen · Mar 14, 2013 · 59m
Jesus declared himself the light of the world, but Christians are called to realize that they, as disciples, are the light of the world. This means living out a life of love, as John's gospel teaches that God is light, and 1 John 4 states that God is love. The speaker advises against deriving doctrine from historical sections like Acts or the historical parts of the Gospels, emphasizing instead the teaching sections for understanding scripture and the true mark of being filled with the Holy Spirit, which is the outpouring of God's unconditional love.

The Secret of Godliness - Zac Poonen - March 2, 2013
Zac Poonen · Mar 14, 2013 · 1h 1m
The central message is that building the church requires understanding two key truths about Christ: His eternal deity and His full humanity. The speaker argues that merely studying scripture is insufficient; one needs revelation from the Holy Spirit to see Christ clearly. True church building, which is the pillar and support of the truth, depends on recognizing that Christ lived fully in the flesh while remaining pure in spirit, which is the great mystery of godliness.

Zac Poonen · Feb 23, 2013 · 1h 0m
The message emphasizes that life in the coming year will be a time of shaking, requiring believers to plant both feet firmly in the unshakable kingdom of God. Acceptable service to God must arise not from fear or obligation, but from deep gratitude and reverence. Ultimately, an indestructible life, characterized by the Holy Spirit's gifts like joy and peace, is what allows one to remain unshaken regardless of earthly turmoil.

7) The Secrets Of Jesus Life by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 23, 2012 · 1h 2m
The central message is that believers must continuously be led and filled by the Holy Spirit to progress toward the likeness of Jesus Christ.

He warns that relying solely on the church community can lead to neglecting this vital personal connection with God.
