Spiritual gifts
winner08:
The Bible says we have certain spiritual gifts. My friend says that mine is having a better understanding of God's word. I said a better understanding than who, you? She has a hard time understanding. Of course I disagree with her I don't think I have that gift. Anyways what are y'all spiritual gifts?? This should be good.

I dont know mines Darren. At one point i may think i have understanding and then wham im slapped back down. Im glad it happens too b/c it humbles me.
If anything i would say one of the best gifts that God has given me is "common sense". Thats why i question everything. The older i get (im 30yrs OLD!!!) the more i realise that it aint really common sense its just being able to see through alot of things, i.e. peoples motives, emotions, media, you name it.
Also another if gift is that God gave me a heart. I dont just judge someone. I try to see it from their perspective too. That one i am still working on because in my teens and early 20's i was taking on everyones problems and not mines. Then i shut down and stop caring about others. Now im slowly getting back to caring again.
God Bless,

I can't lay claim to any gift. What things I can do better than others at times, others can do better than me. I think God gives us gifts at various times for various purposes but doesn't really endow them permanantly. All the ones listed in I Corinthians are ending or have ended except faith, hope and love. The spiritual gifts are gifts that the Spirit has. If He will just lend me these three that's the best I can hope for. I know when they peek out of this package, it's Him.

So far all I've got is x-ray vision & the ability to fly...I'm hoping for super speed to show up by the end of the month. I can't keep showing up late for work.
Oh, wait...you said SPIRITUAL GIFTS not SUPERHUMAN GIFTS. My bad... :D

AK4 Your reply about everytime you think you know, God slaps you down or out of you. Anyways I feel that way too, for me it is most of the time. I think I know something and most of the time it is wrong. This is where my on ego comes into play. Which brings me to another question. On my other thread you and Brenda talk about Ray having in site about the age of men. This reality just hit me, most of y'all already knows this I;m a little slow on the up take. Ray is really getting his info from God, which makes him a prophet of God. Like in the old testament. Sorry I knew Ray was smart but if he has the truth about man and even the beat of mines don;t know, then Holy Cow!! Ray is a true prophet of God. This reality, This whole reality just hit me like a ton of bricks. MAN! that's what I call a revelation.
