Episode 60: Knowing the Spirit-Week 9 of 12-How do we operate in the gifts of the Spirit

New week. New episode. Join me as we jump into chapter 8 of Knowing the Spirit by Costi Hinn.

Episode 59: Knowing the Spirit-Week 8 of 12-What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit

This week Spiritual Gifts are our main topic. Using Costi’s book, we will break this episode into 4 main sections, focusing on Extremes/Opinions/& Human Tendencies, what exactly is a Spiritual Gift, the purpose of the gifts, and what exactly are the gifts. Costi makes sure to highlight as we get started that we should be letting Scripture speak definitively knowing the nature of the gifts before making statements about what we believe to be the Spirit’s normative pattern. These gifts are grace gifts and totally undeserved. These gifts are for the common good for the Body of Christ and to lead people to truth. Join me as we dive into this chapter and seek to apply this truth to our everyday lives as believers.

Episode 58: Knowing the Spirit-Week 7 of 12-What does Spirit filled worship look like?

This week as we dive into Chapter 6 of Costi’s book, Knowing the Spirit, we focus on Worship. What is worship? Why is it important to understand what worship is? Join me as we use Costi’s book to discuss this important topic. May you walk away understanding what proper worship is and bring Glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus. Also may you seek to live this truth out in your everyday life.

Episode 57: Knowing the Spirit-Week 6 of 12-What is the Filling of the Holy Spirit

Welcome back friends as we dive into the topic of the filling of the Holy Spirit. As always, we will allow the Word of God to guide us. Our experience should never dictate truth. Rather we will let truth dictate truth. We will compare the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to the filling of the Holy Spirit and hopefully walk away with a better understanding of the two. This topic is important so we can accurately teach others and with the help of the Word and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, successfully live out this truth in our everyday lives as believers. So friends, be being filled! It is a great command and you will be blessed!

Episode 56: Knowing the Spirit-Week 5 of 12-What is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Back for Week 5 as we unpack an important topic and ultimately reality for every believer in Christ, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is a big topic and it takes a great amount of time to discuss it, so I have broken this chapter into two separate weeks. We will look at specific texts to understand what Baptism is. The scripture that Costi has us focus on this week is found in 1 Corinthians 12:13 where it reads, “For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body-whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free-and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” What did this mean for the early church and what does this mean for us as believers today? Join me as we go to the Word of God to guide us through this subject and use Cost’s book, Knowing the Spirit, as our secondary resource. My hope is you walk away with a greater understanding of who the Holy Spirit is and why being Baptized in Him is the most important event that will take place in your life.
