Zac Poonen - The Ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Church - Part 1 - NCCF - June 24, 2012 (1 of 2)
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian understanding must move beyond merely being forgiven to being saved from sin, citing Matthew 1:21. He contrasts the Old Covenant, where the Spirit was merely 'upon' people, with the New Covenant, where the Spirit dwells 'within,' requiring a heart cleansed first. He warns against prioritizing God's use of us over our inner cleansing, and discusses the true meaning of baptism as immersion in the Holy Spirit, which requires continuous filling.

Zac Poonen · Jul 13, 2012
The speaker discusses the ministry of the Holy Spirit, contrasting the early church's reliance on personal conversation and memory with modern over-reliance on the written Bible. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit's work is to glorify Christ, leading to profound humility, as seen when Isaiah and John reacted to the glory of the Lord. True spiritual guidance points always back to Christ.
