Summary
The speaker addresses questions regarding spiritual readiness for Christ's return, emphasizing that honesty—both in one's outer and inner life—is key, regardless of past sins. He explains that 'living in one's will' means actively choosing to obey God's commands, such as forgiving others and trusting Him with anxieties, rather than succumbing to natural worry or bitterness.

Questions & Answers - Zac Poonen - April 6, 2019
Zac Poonen · Apr 8, 2019
The speaker discusses the nature of genuine spiritual questioning, advising that questions should relate to life and God's will rather than mere theoretical knowledge. He addresses the concept of free will, affirming that God does not take it away, and outlines the primary evidence of being born again: a desire to pray (breathing) and a longing to hear God's Word. Finally, he discusses church divisions, noting that true overcomers sense the Lord's departure and may start a new, pure church.
