I think that God had given you an open heart to receive from Him but you don't always believe that and you get sarcastic to make up for it. The one great desire that God has given you in your heart is to be loved by Him. You want that more than anything and if you could have a relationship with a man that could give that kind of pure and unadulterated love you would take it. When a believer learns how to respond to the love of God the fear of not being able to goes away and that love becomes reciprocated to others. The gift of the Holy Spirit was given to us at salvation so that God's love could be shed abroad in our hearts (Rom 5:5). Every born again believer has that gift of love in our heart and may we comprehend and grow in every dimension of that love with all believers (Eph 3:18,19).

The gifts of the Spirit are as the King James version: 1 Corinthians, Chapter 12. In my opinion, you are receiving the word of knowledge, when you spoke about hearing a word in Hebrew. You not knowing the meaning of the word you searched its' meaning, this what you were suppose to do. It makes me wonder what word you heard and its' meaning, if you would like to share. I have also had my experiance with the samething, hearing a word, and looking up the meaning. Then you mentioned, you keep talking about the Word, God puts it in us to spread the gosple, the more you experiance the more you will want to talk about it, I also do the samething when speaking to people. You need to read your Bible, because Jesus said if people, were quite even the stones would cry out, sorry, I don't have the scripture at this time so you could look it up. Some pastors don't think people (carnal) would understand, so they don't talk about ( feed them milk instead of meat of the Word) the deep meaning of the Word.

Everything on earth sings praises to God we just need the spiritual ears to hear them which God grants to those who truly seek His truth, but beware of the demons who will whisper lies, even Jesus hear the voice of Satan, but GOD gave us the power to rebuke them and the least in the kingdom of God is greater then the most powerful witch our demon in this word. God REIGNS!

The Great Commission is to go into all the world with the Good News of forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Are you doing what He commanded?
P
Perhaps you will want to become somewhat familiar with the Signs and Wonders Movement.
God is Glorified when a sinner comes to faith in Jesus Christ and receives the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. This is done through the same "foolish" method He ordained from the beginning: PREACHING.
Gibbering and being slain in the spirit (for example) are real, but are not gifts from God.

WOW ok so its not just prophecy that you speak against but all the gifts of Spirit except for PREACHING? WOW. you would cut these words out of the BIBLE then???
Romans 12:3
[ Serve God with Spiritual Gifts ] For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
1 Corinthians 1:4
[ Spiritual Gifts at Corinth ] I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,
1 Corinthians 12:1
[ Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity ] Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:
1 Corinthians 14:1
[ Prophecy and Tongues ] Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:12
Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.
Ephesians 4:7
[ Spiritual Gifts ] But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
And You know that Faith and all the armor of GOD are spiritual gifts too? then you would strip people of God's protection for them?
Wow, I thought you were among the flock but I think we might need a few shepherds to look into this.
Ephesians 6:10-20 (New King James Version)
The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
You do realize every one of those things listed above are "spiritual gifts" right? only through the grace of God are we given, our measure of Faith, our salvation, the Holy Spirit, which is the word of God and shoes of peace. the only thing we do on our own is pray and that is To God who answers them if we abide in His word and have Faith which He places in our hearts.

the bible clearly lists the spiritual gifts. they exist. the bible also tells us seek ye shall find knock and the door shall be opened etc. and the same bible(kjv niv etc) tells us that we should seek ALL the gifts of the spirit, above all the gift of prophecy. while their are aspects of some portions of the "charismatic movement" ( a poorly chosen general term for conversation) which are not scriptural, this does not void the gifts of the spirit from being of God-tongues and prophecy are BIBLICALLY sound and paul even states that while he's rather speak a sound word in front of a crowd he also states that he speaks in tongues more than everyone else... and he says that tongues should not be TAUGHT AGAINST in the church. it's an interesting swing of the pendulum, that in my opinion is just as unbiblical as clucking like a chicken and saying it's the power of God, to say that all things "charismatic" are not scriptural when they are in fact in the Bible, and God tells us in that same bible to seek the gifts and also tells us those who seek find.
I don't think God ever intended for us to be putting on display our ...er, His Gifts He has given us , just to (hint hint) see how spiritual (hint hint) we are. It just has a funny taste.
For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

Christ assended on high and gave gifts unto men...Eph.4;4 There is one body, one spirit , even as you are called in one Hope of your calling, and one God and father of all...4:7 But unto everyone of us there is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.3:7 whereof I was made a minister ,according to the gift of grace given me, by the effectual working of his power....4:7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of Christ. And he gave for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry and the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come in the unity of faith, and unto a knowledge of the son of God,unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. From whom the whole body fittly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies according to the effectual working of the measure in every part maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in Love.3:9 to make all see whatis the mystery which has been hidden in God who made all things by Jesus Christ. According to the eternal purpose he purposed in Christ
