Webcast of Discipleship Conference with Zac Poonen! (March 19-21)

"Come to us when you are sick and tired of yourself." -Brother Zac

I was just going to post the same note. Context: Don't come to us (our fellowship) when you are sick of that doctrine or the hypocrites in this or that fellowship but "come to us when you are sick and tired of yourself."

Oh how that would solve some problems!

Not an exact quote but a good summary of the thought;

If the Christianity you have doesn't work in your home why would you want to give it to others?

"If you take the letter of the New Testament and judge by it, it will kill" brother Zac

"If the Christianity you have doesn't work in your home why would you want to give it to others?"

"You wouldn't gift wrap a broken DVD player and give it to a friend would you? good stuff."

I was listening to that message and unfortunately don't have time to listen to the others due to work but I will be listening to the session after its all said and done.

God Bless,
Matthew

My computer started playing the live broadcast even though it is still set waiting for me to hit the play arrow. I guess the Lord would have it that I watch this session. :)

This is the first message in this conference I have been able to hear. The transmission was periodically disrupted but I was able to locate all the bible references and follow his preaching points. I hope this will be found later on this site or some site.

In particular, there is much in this message on the Authority of believers in Christ over Satin - the truth of it. Greg, this is useful in our prayer for meetings in Victoria as we know this Truth (both those that come to hear and those that come to speak).

This is also the first message that I was able to listen to. I tried several times to listen to the first message, but I kept getting interrupted and only made it part way through.

Here are the scripture verses that were quoted in session 5:

Matthew 16:18
1 John 2:6
1 John 4:17
Ephesians 1:20
Philippians 2:14
Ephesians 5:20
Romans 8:28
Colossians 2:14-15
Luke 10:17
James 4:6-7
Revelation 12 (accuser of the brethren)
Matthew 18:18
Matthew 12:28
2 Corinthians 2:10-11
Matthew 18:32,33,34 (maybe more verses involved)
Hebrews 8:12
1 Corinthians 10:17
1 Corinthians 11:30
Ephesians 4:26-27
John 14:30

I think these are all of them, but I might have missed a few.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Live webcast has been online since 9 AM Mountain Time. Session 4 will finish at 10:30 AM Mountain Time. Session 5 will start at 11:00 AM Mountain Time.

God Bless

'True worship is to be near Jesus no matter where I am.'

'The "old time gospel" is not what was preached 100 years ago, but what was preached 2000 years ago!'

Most people think that to be filled with the Holy Spirit you MUST speak in tongues. Jesus is our Forerunner, and He never spoke in tongues.

But it says about Him that when He was filled with the Holy Spirit He went about doing good (Acts 10:38). That's something in which we all can follow Him!

It's quite different to be convinced about the life of Christ and to [i]experience[/i] it.

If you've actually tasted that an orange is sweet, no amount of someone else's trying to convince you that it is not sweet will change your mind.

"O [i]taste[/i] and see that the Lord is good."

Love is the perpetual debt we owe to every human being (Romans 13:8).

"My goal is not to speak to 10,000 it is to speak to 1. Are you willing to sustain just 1? To sustain a weary 1 with a word... "

"...and in order to get that word for that weary 1, God wakens me morning by morning to listen as a disciple. Like Samuel, speak Lord for your servant listens."

loose quotes from brother Zac

Do you want to be God's mouth? Get rid of all that is worthless in your day-to-day interaction with people, and live before God's face alone (Jeremiah 15:19-20).

The conference has resumed. It is on hearing the thoughts of God.
1 Corinthians 2:11.

If you were to share all your thoughts with someone else, that person would have to be someone you love and trust deeply.

How amazing a privilege it is, then that God says He will reveal all His thoughts to us (I Corinthians 2:6-16)!

A holiness that does not lead you into fellowship with others who are pursuing holiness is a counterfeit.

Beware of the sin of doing nothing -- as the Priest and the Levite did in the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

The Kamikaze pilots and suicide bombers put many Christians to shame by their sacrifice of [i]everything[/i] -- even their own lives -- for their belief.

The ultimate goal of Christ is not to produce individual holiness, but a Body -- "one new man" (Ephesians 2:16).

You are today the sum total of the choices you have made up to this point in your life.

Demons possess, the Holy Spirit fills!

The result of demon possession is that the person loses self-control. The result of being filled with the Holy Spirit is that the person gains [i]more[/i] self-control (Galatians 5:23).

Leadership in Babylon is imposed from above. Leadership in the Church is accepted from beneath.

In relation to impure thoughts;

"seek for a life of total purity in your thoughts and your dreams"

"never give up! Continue to resist and fight! Seek for the grace of God and to be filled with the Spirit continually"

Such a necessary exhortation today for so many. God is able! We are not able but He is able to do ALL things!

The last session is in progress.
