Zac Poonen warns against the spirit of the Antichrist that seeks admiration and worship from others, paralleling it with Satan's desire for worship. He emphasizes that this spirit is prevalent in various spheres, including the church, and manifests as a desire for honor and recognition. Poonen highlights that true followers of Christ will face reproach and opposition, contrasting this with the allure of popularity that leads to the Antichrist's acceptance. He urges believers to recognize and crush the seeds of this spirit within themselves to avoid falling into its trap. Ultimately, he calls for a return to the hard truths of the Gospel that challenge the desire for worldly approval.

Zac Poonen emphasizes the urgency of recognizing the spirit of the Antichrist that has infiltrated Christendom, warning that we are in the final moments before the Antichrist's emergence. He explains that this spirit manifests through casual attitudes towards sin, self-exaltation, and deception, which have become prevalent in many churches today. Poonen urges believers to identify and confront these antichrists within their assemblies, as they were driven out in the early church through strong preaching. He highlights the need for a radical stance against sin and a commitment to truth, as only then can the spirit of the Antichrist be expelled from the church. The sermon calls for a return to the purity and power of the early apostles to combat the current spiritual decline.
