In this sermon, the speaker discusses the role of a prophet and the importance of being a seer, someone who sees and understands God's plans and purposes. The speaker emphasizes the need for purity of heart in order to truly see God and receive divine knowledge. The passage in Numbers 12 is highlighted, where God describes Moses as a prophet and reveals Himself to him in a vision. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of having Jesus as our example and role model, as He is the ultimate prophet who prophesied better than anyone else.

In this sermon, the speaker addresses the issue of a lack of fellowship in churches. He emphasizes that the problem is not a lack of activity or programs, but rather a higher estimation of oneself than is accurate. The speaker encourages believers to have a sober estimate of themselves. The sermon also highlights God's sovereignty in delivering Israel from Egypt and choosing Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as His faithfulness in restoring those who turn back to Him. The ultimate result of presenting ourselves to God is that we begin to understand His perfect will and live fruitful lives.

In this sermon, the speaker shares his personal experience of relying on the power of the Holy Spirit in his ministry. He emphasizes the importance of having a connection with the river of God, which is always full of water, to effectively serve in any calling. The speaker initially desired to be an evangelist but realized that God had called him to be a teacher instead. He compares his ministry to pumping water from a hand pump, requiring great effort to obtain a small amount, while desiring to experience the effortless flow of a river. The sermon also references the disciples' encounter with the risen Jesus and the receiving of the Holy Spirit, highlighting the need for believers to continually seek the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

In this sermon, the preacher discusses the fear that many people experience when thinking about the future and the events that will occur in the last days. He mentions that God will shake everything that can be shaken, as stated in Hebrews 12, and that this shaking will cause fear among people. Jesus also spoke about this fear in Luke 21, saying that men will faint from fear when they see the things that are coming upon the world. The preacher emphasizes the importance of not succumbing to fear but instead straightening up and lifting up our heads, as Jesus instructed. He also highlights the tendency for convictions and truths to evaporate over time unless they are set on fire by the Holy Spirit. The sermon concludes by referencing the disciples' fear even after witnessing Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, emphasizing the need to overcome fear with the power of the Holy Spirit.

This sermon emphasizes the importance of unity and love within the body of Christ. It highlights the power of prayer and agreement among believers to overcome the forces of darkness. The speaker shares personal experiences of how prayer and unity in the church have influenced government decisions and protected against anti-Christian laws. The message encourages humility, valuing every member of the church, and being willing to surrender personal opinions and traditions for God's will.

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of knowing God beyond just knowing about His acts. He highlights how many people in the Bible knew God through witnessing His powerful acts, such as the parting of the Red Sea and the feeding of the five thousand. However, the speaker warns against solely relying on these acts to know God, as the people of Israel often murmured and doubted despite witnessing His miracles. Instead, the speaker encourages the audience to seek a personal relationship with God and to know Him through His principles and teachings. By knowing God in this way, one can experience His impartation and be filled with the knowledge of God.

John Nelson Darby explores the distinction between the Greek words 'ginosko' and 'oida' in the context of knowledge in the New Testament. He explains that 'ginosko' refers to objective knowledge, akin to being acquainted with something, while 'oida' signifies inward, intuitive knowledge that comes from within. Darby illustrates this difference using various scripture passages, emphasizing that true understanding involves both types of knowledge but highlights the importance of conscious knowledge in the believer's relationship with God. He concludes that while objective knowledge can inform us, it is the inward knowledge that truly shapes our faith and understanding of God.

Zac Poonen emphasizes three crucial exhortations for Christians: the necessity of being continually filled with the Holy Spirit to effectively live and serve as Jesus did, the importance of knowing God intimately for spiritual strength, and the call to be cheerful givers in all aspects of life. He explains that without the Holy Spirit, believers cannot fulfill their God-given ministries, and that true knowledge of God leads to overcoming life's challenges. Poonen also highlights that giving should come from a place of joy and freedom, as God values cheerful acts over those done under compulsion.

Zac Poonen emphasizes that knowing God intimately is essential for spiritual strength, as highlighted in Daniel 11:32. He encourages believers to seek a personal relationship with God rather than relying on others' experiences, citing that eternal life is defined by knowing God and Jesus Christ (John 17:3). Poonen stresses the importance of listening to God daily, following Jesus' example of spiritual nourishment through His words (Matthew 4:4). He advocates for a continuous listening attitude, even during the night, to remain receptive to God's guidance (1 Samuel 3:10). Ultimately, knowing God equips us to overcome life's challenges by revealing His solutions to our problems.

Zac Poonen emphasizes that God the Father is not a strict figure but a loving parent who cares deeply for His children. He highlights that it was the Father's love that sent Jesus to save humanity, and that believers should approach God in prayer with the confidence of being loved and cared for. Poonen encourages the congregation to recognize that God listens to all His children, regardless of their maturity in faith, and that faith is essential for effective prayer. He reassures that God delights in giving good gifts to those who seek Him, reinforcing the idea that God is a good Father who desires to fulfill the needs and desires of His children. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a deeper understanding of God’s fatherly love as the foundation of faith.

George Fox emphasizes the importance of the Light of Christ as a guiding force for believers, urging them to heed this divine illumination to recognize their sins and the transient nature of worldly desires. He encourages individuals to rely on the Light for personal revelation and understanding, rather than on human teachings, leading to a deeper relationship with God. By embracing this Light, believers can witness the New Covenant and experience true rest and salvation. Fox warns against the distractions of vain thoughts and idolatry, reminding that true life comes from hearing the voice of Jesus.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes that the primary objective of God's dealings with His children is for them to know Him intimately. He illustrates that this knowledge is foundational for strength, steadfastness, and effective service, as exemplified in the life of Jesus and the apostle Paul. The sermon highlights that true guidance and confidence stem from a deep, personal relationship with the Lord, rather than mere external knowledge or service. Sparks warns against the dangers of relying solely on doctrine and external practices, urging believers to seek a profound understanding of God. Ultimately, he calls for a commitment to knowing the Lord, which is essential for spiritual resilience and effectiveness in ministry.

Zac Poonen emphasizes the misconception that God the Father is strict while only Jesus loves us, clarifying that it was the Father's love that sent Jesus to save us. Jesus assures His disciples of the Father's love and care, comparing it to how earthly fathers provide for their children. Poonen challenges believers to approach God in prayer with faith, believing in His tender, fatherly care and His willingness to grant good gifts to His children, regardless of their maturity in faith. He encourages all, regardless of spiritual age, to boldly come to God as a loving Father who delights in hearing and meeting their needs.

David Servant preaches on the transition from the old covenant to the new covenant, emphasizing the appointment of a perpetual high priest after the order of Melchizedek, signifying the abolishment of the Levitical priesthood and the obsoleteness of the Mosaic Law related to it. The earthly tabernacle and priestly ministry were mere foreshadowings of Christ's superior priestly ministry in the heavenly tabernacle, culminating in the inauguration of the superior new covenant promised in the Old Testament. Those who cling to the old covenant miss the mark, as the new covenant has made the old one obsolete, requiring obedience to the law of Christ instead of the Law of Moses.

Zac Poonen preaches about the importance of sincere devotion to God in a world filled with deception and flattery. He emphasizes the need for believers to know God personally, not just through knowledge of the Bible, to avoid being led astray by cults and false teachings. Poonen warns about the dangers of seeking correctness in doctrine without pursuing personal devotion to Christ, highlighting the decline of movements that lose sight of true spirituality. He urges believers to seek shepherds after God's own heart, who prioritize building up believers in Christ rather than seeking personal gain or recognition.

Zac Poonen preaches about the importance of sincere devotion to God in a world filled with deception and flattery.
