But before you continue in this episode. If you have not yet listened to this past Sunday's message, then go ahead and pause now and go listen to ...

Zechariah was a priest, and the father of John the Baptist. He and his wife were very old and unable to have children. Then one day the angel Gabriel visits Zechariah to tell him that God has chosen his family to fulfill the final promise of the Old testament, that they would give birth the the "prophet of the power of Elijah" who would declare and pave the way for the Messiah.

Well, hey, and welcome to another episode of the Becoming Better podcast I am your host, Brendan Krismer, and we are so glad you are here. Well, on this episode, Jason, Josh, and I sit down and talk a ton about how to know what gifts of the spirit you have been given and how and when they should be used in the local church expression.

People get fixated on the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit. Some say those supernatural gifts don’t apply to us today, while others say that spiritual gifts like healing, prophecy, speaking in tongues, etc, are the only way to know that the Holy Spirit truly dwells in us.
