The Spirit Of Elijah - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Theme of the conference : How to be Ready for Christ's Return. Message by Br.Zac Poonen from the 2008 Hyderabad conference with Telugu translation.
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant Church is characterized by purity and unity, drawing an analogy to melting separate pieces of iron in a furnace to form one inseparable body. He argues that the Church, as the Body of Christ, must reflect this oneness and holiness, citing Jesus' prayer in John 17. True spiritual power and building up the Body of Christ come from this purity and unity, not merely from large numbers or outward displays.

Finding a Church with Spiritual FireBelievers should not remain in spiritually dead or leaking churches out of mere tradition, but must seek fellowship where the fire of God is present.
Discerning the Signs of the TimesJust as people discern the weather, schools, or hospitals, believers must learn to discern the spiritual signs of the times in which we live.
The Return of JerusalemJesus prophesied that Jerusalem would be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled, a sign that has unfolded in our generation.
Two Biblical Focal Points for the Last DaysThe Bible highlights Jerusalem and the region of Iraq around the Euphrates River as focal points for end-time events and conflicts.
