Michael Miller on Deliverance, the Gifts of the Spirit, and Walking in Word and Spirit Michael Miller—co-host of Remnant Radio and pastor of Reclamation Church in Denver—shares his journey from a mixed religious upbringing to a life devoted to Jesus. In this episode, Michael explains why he’s a continuationist, unpacks 1 Corinthians 12–14, and offers a biblically grounded framework for deliverance ministry. We talk about discerning the spirits, how believers can open doors to demonic influence, and what healthy, Christ-centered deliverance looks like. Michael also shares practical wisdom for pursuing the gifts of the Spirit with humility, balance, and discipleship within the local church. If you’ve ever wondered whether the gifts are for today, how to test the spirits, or how to walk in Christ’s authority with wisdom and love—this conversation will encourage and equip you.
