The Way Into the New Covenant Life - Zac Poonen - July 24, 2016
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual power, particularly the anointing of the Holy Spirit, is sought in private devotion rather than in emotional public gatherings. He draws parallels between Jesus' anointing at the Jordan and the necessity for believers to undergo a 'death to self' to experience the power of resurrection. This means deliberately choosing to live according to Christ's will, even when it contradicts personal desires or expectations, which is the path to understanding God's truth.

The Blessed Life of the New Covenant -- Zac Poonen -- August 7, 2022
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2022
The speaker argues that true Christian life is found not merely in studying the Word or performing religious duties, but in embracing the 'way of the cross' and the 'new covenant.' He emphasizes that the goal is not perfection in one's own strength, but a daily desire to become more like Christ, recognizing that ministry is secondary to the life itself. This transformation is facilitated by the Holy Spirit, moving believers from the legalistic focus of the Old Testament to the grace-filled calling of sonship.
