Anointing With Power — Zac Poonen

Pentecost and the Anointing With Power

So brothers and sisters, what happened on the day of Pentecost is happening even today. Not only the speaking in tongues but the anointing with power. Tongues without the power to live a holy life is useless.

Seeking the Fullness of the Holy Spirit

God, for 16 years after my Christian life, I was defeated. But 47 years ago, God met with me. I have been praying and fasting and seeking God for the fullness of the Holy Spirit. God met with me in an amazing way.

And what happened was that I suddenly began speaking a language I did not know. I had no intention to do that. That was the way God gave me an assurance. He has filled me with the Holy Spirit. And about six months after that, two things happened.

Victory Over Sin and the Birth of a Church

I began to understand the life of victory over sin. I never knew before that. Secondly, the first CFC church was born. Now when I look back, I see, like the day of Pentecost, I experienced Pentecost. I did not join a Pentecostal church.

The Holy Spirit Beyond the Gift of Tongues

Because I do not teach that everybody must speak in tongues. We emphasize victory over sin, not speaking in tongues. But seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit. That I will say to all of you. That is what changed our life.

Humility, Forgiveness, and an Overcoming Life

Not a new teaching. You have heard many things today. But if you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, your life will remain just the same. Except that you have a little more knowledge in your head. Humble yourself.

Forgive everybody. Earnestly desire for an overcoming life. Lord, I want you to be first in my life. Pray and fast and seek God for the fullness of the Holy Spirit. I guarantee your life will be changed.

You have been blessed by my message. You will be blessed a thousand times more when you are filled with the Holy Spirit. God bless you.
