  The Difference between Knowing God and Knowing the Bible - Bro Zac Poonen                            It is much easier to know the Bible than it is to know God - because you don’t have to pay a price to know the Bible; all you have to do is study.  You can be immoral in your personal life and impure in your thought life, and still know the Bible very well. You can be a well-known preacher and yet be a great lover of money at the same time. But, you can’t know God and be immoral in your life. You can’t know God and be a lover of money. That’s impossible! And that’s why most preachers take the easier path of knowing the Bible rather than knowing God.  I want to ask you: Are you happy with just knowing the Bible or is there a desperate hunger in your hearts to know the Lord? The apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:8-10 that his greatest longing was to know the Lord better. He considered everything...

The story of Samuel begins with his mother, Hannah, being barren. It’s interesting to see how many women are mentioned in Scripture as having been barren for many years before having children - Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Hannah. They all sought God in prayer, and each of them gave birth to a son who had a unique place in God’s purpose. They did not accept their barrenness. They prayed to God earnestly for children. God granted them their request and each of them had a child through whom God fulfilled a unique purpose.  Many mothers pray for their children while they are still in their wombs. But these women prayed with an unusual intensity. It’s wonderful when a child is born into the world through intense prayer like that. That is how Samuel was born. Hannah had prayed to the Lord for many years for a child. Finally she made a vow saying, “Lord, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will g...

  WORD FOR THE WEEK  23 October 2011 Christian Fellowship Church, Bangalore, India http://www.cfcindia.com ------------------------------------------------------------             Rebellion is Largely Centred Around the Tongue                                 Zac Poonen In Rev 13: 5-6, we read:  “And there was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies; and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.  And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.” Notice the word ‘mouth’ occurring a number of times in this chapter - “a mouth like a lion” (v.2). Man’s praise of God is expressed through his mouth. And man’s rebellion against God is also expressed through his mouth. It says in Prov.18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue...

Just wanted to share..... Every year i always wanted to be a part of Christian Fellowship Church(CFC) conference at Bangalore. I was converted by listening to these church messages on the net at cfcindia.com ,my life has changed a lot after listening to Bro Zac Poonen.Last year i tried hard to be a part of  the conference; i applied for leave but unfortunately could not get leave. I was only rejected because i told my manager that i was attending our church conference.Unfortunately did not get leave last year(2010). I was really sad i was very eager in making my presence there,slowly i realized that i was still unworthy of making  my presence there.I thought that there were few areas i have not corrected my self in my walk with god.One thing flashed in my mind when god has given me this job he knows what i need if he thinks that im not worthy of getting there let it be, i shall view the meetings online live.Moreover the word of god says in Romans 12 :1,2 (below) E...

Dear all !!!!!Speaking of God's love on us...Many people argue that u have all bad habits in you and you speak as if u are a very holy person.  The reason behind this is people try to see with God in other people with their human understanding .Do you think that our brain is capable enough to understand God or a person who is living all out his life for god. FRIEND GOD CAME INTO THIS WORLD FOR SINNERS...and sinner doesnt mean who has all bad habits on earth.  when god has accepted them who are we to comment on them.Just keep your mouth shut and mind your own business. Many people do not understand the reality behind a believer's life...There is lot of churning going around in his life ...Satan tries to create all problems to make this person come back to his old ways .I heard of a testimony of one of our brother's in church..He hails from a hindu background and he accepted christ.Their family dint accept him and ask him to move out of home..... Look at his earnestn...

This song speaks of the purpose of trials and the author inspires us to hold on the statutes of the lord... Be blessed ....

When Jesus instituted the 'breaking of bread', He used a word that He never used before - the word `covenant'. A proper understanding of this word is essential if we are to partake in the Lord's table meaningfully. A Covenant Relationship With God The first mention of the word 'covenant' is found in Gen. 6:18, where God promises to establish a covenant with Noah (Gen. 9:9,11). God had judged the whole world because of man's sin and now He made a covenant with Noah that He would never again judge the world with a flood as He had just done. God gave a sign to mark the covenant that He then made. It was what we now call the 'rainbow'. God, however, called it 'My bow in the cloud' (Gen. 9:13). The word used for 'bow' there is exactly the same word as is translated elsewhere in the Bible for the weapon, the bow. A bow is always aimed in the direction of the one who is to be shot with the arrow. The significance of the bow in the cloud p...

Praise god for all his mercies!!! For all things that he allows us to come through in our lives.. Corrections,Exhortations,Warnings,uplifting,Promises..Grace,care... you might be wondering all of a sudden why am i talking about all these... Im just going to share about the things that happened about in my office last nyt I have been warned by a member who is 4 yrs younger than me...i felt like banging him right there... Once a thought flashed in my mind even god has suffered on the cross for my sake though he has nothing to do with my sins... I tried to follow Christ in this matter. But it was really hard for me to drive away the bitterness from my heart... i prayed god to grant me largeness of heart... and he did... i could forgive him immediately..... The other thing i wanted to talk about is about my manager... I was down with Viral fever and i thought of not attending office but since my manager will have to share my load of heavy work i dint mind going to office....

we often do not value the gifts that our heavenly father has revealed to us....coz we are born of sin .....the only thing that keeps us always lively in our walk with god is to keep our eyes on the lord everyday and every moment....We often settle for the least despising the best that god has instore for us. The only secret i believe as Paul says "I have lived before God's face".Its really hard by our human effort to be really as told in scriptures .when god gives us grace its the greatest blessing of everthing.I have taken his grace for granted and have disobeyed his commands in the recent past...Iam now in the same state as i am before .My conscience keeps reminding me that iam a sinner...But god in his great wisdom and love has been kind to me....As the scriptures quotes "SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT MY BODY IS WEAK", this is exactly my condition as of now.By god's grace i could realise my loop holes and restarting my journey to choose the heavenly life... I d...

ternal Security - Zac Poonen ETERNAL SECURITY – FOR ALL WHO FOLLOW JESUS Zac Poonen Jesus said, “Man shall live by EVERY (single) word that proceeds from the mouth of God” – and not just by any one word of God ( Matt.4:4 ). So, if we take just one verse of Scripture without comparing it with other verses in Scripture, we can arrive at wrong conclusions and end up believing what is false. Many preachers have deceived people by giving them false hopes through quoting just one verse of Scripture, ignoring other verses. Many a wrong understanding of Biblical doctrines arises from not comparing Scripture with Scripture. When Satan quoted a Scripture to Jesus saying, “It is written”, Jesus balanced it by saying, “It is ALSO written” ( Matt.4:6 , 7 ). God created birds with two wings, so that they could fly straight. Biblical truth is also balanced in the same way. When considering the doctrine of eternal security, we must find a balance between the two great truths of th...
