Questions & Answers - Zac Poonen - April 7, 2019
Summary
The speaker emphasizes the responsibility to pray for unconverted family members, both vertically (parents and children) and horizontally (siblings). He stresses consistency in prayer, citing examples like George Mueller, and advises that while the Old Covenant laws are superseded by the New Covenant, believers should claim promises found in the Psalms and later chapters of Isaiah. Finally, he redefines 'fear of the Lord' as 'reverence'—the fear of offending God—and notes that right judgment is developed by meditating on and obeying Scripture until one begins to think like Christ.

Zac Poonen - God's Plan for Our Families
Zac Poonen · Nov 4, 2024
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.
