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.

April 25 | Daily Devotion | Set Your Mind On Heavenly Things | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2025 · 10m
The central message urges believers to continually set their minds on heavenly things, reflecting their spiritual identification with Christ. The speaker uses the analogy of a rubber band, arguing that while daily life requires focusing on earthly necessities, the mind must always be prepared to swing back to heaven when earthly concerns are set aside. This requires actively seeking the things above through the power of the Holy Spirit to live a deeper, heavenly-minded Christian life.

April 20 | Daily Devotion | Pursue Love More Than Anything Else | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 19, 2025 · 9m
The central message emphasizes that the 'royal law' is the law of love, urging listeners to prioritize loving others above all else. The speaker warns against focusing on minor faults in others (specks) while ignoring major internal failings, such as an unloving attitude or unforgiveness (the beam). True spiritual growth requires submitting to God's Spirit to cultivate His nature of love, rather than relying on personal effort.

April 19 | Daily Devotion | Confess The Promises Of God And Not Your Failures | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2025 · 9m
The central message is that believers can partake of the divine nature through the promises of God, which is achieved through the gift of the Holy Spirit. This divine nature allows one to overcome the corruption of the world, which manifests as strong desires, and guides one to focus on the glory of God rather than personal slights. Ultimately, the speaker urges listeners to confess their faith in Jesus and trust God's promises, leading to a life free from anxiety.

April 14 | Daily Devotion | Without God We Can Do Nothing | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 13, 2025 · 12m
The central message emphasizes that apart from Christ, our efforts in life and ministry amount to nothing, comparing worldly achievements to wood, hay, and stubble that burn away. True spiritual life requires constant reliance on the Holy Spirit and recognizing that inner attitudes, especially regarding money, are more important than outward actions. The speaker urges listeners to examine their motives and depend solely on Christ's power.

April 8 | Daily Devotion | The Holy Spirit Comes Inside Us To Manifest Life Of God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 7, 2025 · 10m
The speaker contrasts God's work in the Old Testament, where help was external, with the New Testament, where God dwells internally through the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that while external help can solve visible problems, only the Spirit residing within can solve internal struggles, such as sin and weakness of will. Therefore, believers must rely on the power of the Holy Spirit from within to live righteously, rather than merely confessing sins externally.

March 12 | Daily Devotion | Avoid Those Who Quench The Fire To Walk The Narrow Way | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 11, 2025 · 11m
The message emphasizes the necessity of walking the narrow way, which requires constant vigilance against the dangers of worldliness and legalism. To remain on this path, believers must continually look to Jesus, take up the cross daily, and guard their hearts against people who quench the fire of the Holy Spirit through gossip or worldly distractions. The speaker urges listeners to avoid those who cause divisions and instead seek fellowship with people who call upon the Lord with pure hearts.

March 1 |Daily Devotion |Be Filled With The Holy Spirit To Be Thankful In All Situations |Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 28, 2025 · 12m
The central message is that true thankfulness in all situations is not a natural ability but a result of being filled with the Holy Spirit. The speaker contrasts getting 'drunk' on worldly luxuries with seeking the Spirit, which results in a permanent spirit of thankfulness. This spirit is necessary to overcome complaining, grumbling, and criticism, transforming one's life and bringing heaven's atmosphere into the home.

February 25 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Is Our Saviour, Baptizer And Forerunner | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 24, 2025 · 10m
The message outlines three progressive stages of the Christian life, using the Old Testament Tabernacle as an analogy: first, knowing Jesus as Savior from sin; second, being baptized into the Holy Spirit; and third, following Jesus as our Forerunner into God's presence. The speaker emphasizes that true Christian growth requires moving beyond merely escaping hell by actively seeking the Holy Spirit and following Christ's example in daily life, rather than just believing in Him.

February 24 | Daily Devotion | Hearing Jesus Himself Speak To Us | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 23, 2025 · 10m
The central message is that true understanding of God comes not merely from reading the Bible or hearing preachers, but from hearing Jesus speak directly to the heart through the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that one must maintain absolute honesty with their conscience, as ignoring it leads away from God. Ultimately, the goal of Christian life is to cultivate a personal relationship with Christ, desiring to hear Him speak daily.

9th Feb 2025 - Yielding Our Body And Its Passions Fully To The Lord - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 9, 2025 · 1h 16m
Zac Poonen teaches on yielding our body and its passions fully to the Lord by drawing parallels between Israel's exodus from Egypt and the Christian's journey to victory over sin. Using 1 Corinthians 10 and Hebrews 3-4, he explains that baptism and the Holy Spirit's baptism are meant to lead believers from slavery to sin (Egypt) into a life of complete victory over fleshly lusts (Canaan), not mere wandering in the wilderness of defeat.

Zac Poonen - The Fear of God and Respect for Elders
Zac Poonen · Feb 3, 2025 · 14m
Zac Poonen teaches that the fear of God is foundational to understanding Scripture, comparing it to learning the alphabet before studying other subjects. He illustrates how those who truly fear God, like Simeon and Anna, recognize God's work and receive divine guidance, while those who merely study Scripture intellectually without reverence—like the Pharisees—miss its essential message and make wrong decisions. He emphasizes that beginning with the fear of God enables believers to understand Scripture properly and receive the Holy Spirit's guidance in daily situations.

January 30 | Daily Devotion | Don't Think You Are A Somebody When You Are A Nobody | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 29, 2025 · 12m
The message warns against self-deception, particularly when believers become complacent due to seniority or perceived gifts, leading them to think they are 'somebody' when they are spiritually 'nobody.' True spiritual maturity requires remembering one's humble beginnings. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that believers must sow to the Holy Spirit's promptings to reap eternal life, rather than sowing to the flesh, which leads to corruption.

January 27 | Daily Devotion | Has Music Replaced The Holy Spirit? | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 26, 2025 · 11m
The speaker argues that modern Christianity has been compromised by the influence of music, money, and psychological gimmicks, which have replaced the true power of the Holy Spirit. He contrasts superficial displays of faith, like elaborate worship or reliance on music, with the genuine, life-altering surrender to God found in silence and discipleship. True worship, for him, is the complete surrender of the self, not mere performance.

January 23 | Daily Devotion | Seek To Be Filled By The Spirit Of Wisdom | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 22, 2025 · 10m
The central message is that true wisdom comes from being filled with the Spirit of Wisdom, which teaches one to fear and revere God above all else. Following Jesus' example, believers must learn to disregard what their eyes and ears tell them, instead relying solely on what God's Word says in their hearts. This requires a conscious choice to remain under the fullness of the Holy Spirit's anointing.

January 22 | Daily Devotion | Discipline Your Body In Order To Win | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 21, 2025 · 6m
The message emphasizes that a disciplined life is necessary for the Christian race, drawing parallels to athletes who control their bodies to win. The speaker advises listeners to apply this discipline to their time, money, and especially their bodies through practices like fasting and moderation in eating. Ultimately, this self-discipline is presented as a means to be filled with the Holy Spirit and achieve victory in life.

Zac Poonen - The Baptism in the Holy Spirit Unites Us as One Family
Zac Poonen · Jan 21, 2025 · 17m
Zac Poonen teaches that genuine baptism in the Holy Spirit does more than grant personal anointing or spiritual power—it unites believers into one family, transforming them from disconnected individuals into a cohesive body of Christ. True spiritual maturity requires not just personal holiness but also becoming an integral part of a local church, characterized by sympathy, encouragement, humility, and tender-heartedness rather than criticism and condemnation.

January 21 | Daily Devotion | Discipline Yourself In The Use Of Money | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 20, 2025 · 8m
The central message is that faithfulness in managing earthly money is a test that determines whether God will entrust us with true, eternal riches. The speaker advises believers to be disciplined, frugal, and careful with their spending, warning against unnecessary debt and wastefulness. Ultimately, this discipline in finances is presented as a prerequisite for receiving deeper spiritual blessings, such as greater revelation and the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

January 10 | Daily Devotion | Self Justification Is An Abomination To God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 9, 2025 · 8m
The sermon warns that many churches today, despite having doctrine and singing, lack the fullness of the Holy Spirit, purity, and zeal for God, risking divine removal. Drawing parallels from the Golden Calf incident and the apostles' warnings, the speaker emphasizes that self-justification before men is an abomination to God. True commitment, like the tribe of Levi, requires standing firm for the Lord, especially when comfort and ease set in.

Zac Poonen · Nov 28, 2024 · 55m
The sermon emphasizes that the Holy Spirit's work is characterized by a deep reverence for God, which is described as a 'fear of the Lord.' The speaker contrasts this with superficial manifestations of the Spirit, arguing that true spiritual sensitivity involves discerning God's will and maintaining a pure heart. Ultimately, the Spirit leads believers to fear God, making them sensitive to spiritual realities, much like a dog tracking a scent.

Seeking God For The Spirit's Power | ಆತ್ಮನ ಶಕ್ತಿಗಾಗಿ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕುವುದು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Nov 28, 2024 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that God honors those who honor Him, drawing lessons from Psalm 91 and James. Key takeaways include that we must actively seek God, ask Him with the right motives (not for self-glorification), and approach Him with unwavering faith. The speaker recounts the early church's experience, noting that their power came from genuinely seeking the Holy Spirit for God's glory, not for personal recognition or ministry success.

November 27 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Came To Explain The Father | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 26, 2024 · 12m
The central message is that the Holy Spirit reveals God not as a distant, rule-bound judge, but as an intimate, loving Father. The speaker contrasts this true intimacy with legalism and hypocrisy, arguing that true knowledge of God comes through the Spirit's revelation, making us feel secure and childlike in His embrace. Jesus's role was to reveal the Father, moving beyond the restrictive interpretations of the law.

November 26 | Daily Devotion | A Helper To Help Keep God’s Commands | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 25, 2024 · 11m
The speaker discusses why many Christians exhibit insecurity, jealousy, and difficulty in fellowship, attributing this to a deep-seated sense of being 'orphans' who lack true intimacy. He emphasizes that the primary ministry of the Holy Spirit, as taught by Jesus, is to help believers keep God's commandments, which requires a selfless, sacrificial love mirroring Christ's own. This unity and willingness to sacrifice for one another is the key to the church's growth.

November 14 | Daily Devotion | Moving from Self-Centeredness to God-centeredness | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 13, 2024 · 12m
The central message is the necessity of moving from a self-centered life to one completely centered on God, mirroring the transformation from Adam's body to the body of Christ. This transformation is not instantaneous but a daily process, requiring the believer to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit to see the glory of Jesus. True Christ-likeness goes beyond mere good behavior or self-improvement; it must be motivated by a deep desire to glorify God in every aspect of life.

Zac Poonen - God's Plan for Our Families
Zac Poonen · Nov 4, 2024 · 57m
Zac Poonen teaches that the New Covenant emphasizes family life through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, which delivers believers from spiritual orphanhood and insecurity. He argues that healthy families require both husband and wife to know God intimately as Father and to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit, which then naturally produces strong marriages and parenting—more foundational than external practices like family prayer. The true test of being filled with the Spirit is manifested in one's family relationships, not in manifestations like speaking in tongues, and this must be established before any effective ministry in the church can occur.
