Curry Blake talks about that, when we go all out for Him there are times and perhaps many times, we are going to alone, but we are alone with Him, it seems based on the amount of vital relationship with Him.

Are you wearing a shirt that says I love Jesus or testifying about Jesus as you walk in the mall? If not, no one is probably thinking wow that guy must be a Christian and really made an impact on my life.
If you are doing those things and that is why people are noticing you, then good for you and that may very well be a gift.

Is he? What was the need to interfere with constructive criticism?
You take what he says so lightly, do you? Please allow people with discernment to answer him back while you remain quiet. Makes sense, right? Think about it.
How do you know they were perplexed? Are you saying you felt their energy as well? Why is someone being perplexed a mustered seed? In what way did you perplexing people increase their faith or bring them closer to God? And how can you tell that you perplexing them had that effect on them?
Do you stare at people too? Is that how you came to know they were staring at you?

perhaps the lack of response to this thread isn't b/c we as the body lack in the gifts, nor is it that we do not know what we have.
PERHAPS the lack of response is because WISDOM tells us that certain things are not to be spoken about openly in a place like CC.
By that I mean those who want to turn EVERYTHING INTO DEBATES will find a way to do so, thus the wise thing to do is not through "pearls before swine" And YES even "Christian" places are FULL of swine.

Didn't know spiritual gifts were to be kept top secret and to mention your gift is throwing it before swines.
Where in scripture did Jesus say, hide your gifts that no one will see them?
People will chat their personal business, but the spiritual gifts outlined in scripture which God has blessed them with they can't talk about?
If people don't know your gift, how will they know if they can come to you for help with a particular issue that only you alone could help with in a way that is much more excellent than someone who does not have that gift?
I'm getting so irritated with people misusing scripture to support their ridiculous opinions.

I am in no way offended by correction, either to myself or others.
I simply understand what was trying to be expressed. Perhaps not all the terminology was correct, and that is where arguments/debates/ misunderstanding and feeling the need to "correct" someone starts.
Are you offended that someone is beginning to step into a deeper walk with the Lord, is excited by what the Lord is showing them/having them do, and wanting to share it?
I don't know of any "secret gifts", but I do know many people who operate in the different gifting's ..... not many of them come out saying "my gift is......."
exactly.....
in fact He said:
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
(Matthew 5:16)
let your light shine.....
NOT
go around tooting your own horn saying : "I have this and can do that"
For the sake of an example here, lets just put everything in this thread till now aside........
suppose the thread started and someone came on saying
"My gift is prophesy and tongues......."
Well, anyone who has clicked around this site long enough already KNOWS where that conversation is going to end up.........
WISDOM tells us it's NOT WISE to go there (AGAIN).
Imagine how the AUTHOR/ORIGINATOR of scripture feels..............

Have you ever had the experience of pulling up at a traffic light and looking at the guy in the car next to you, only to have him turn and look back at you? Why did he do that? Because he FELT your attention energy and your consciousness focused at him and turned to see where it was coming from. His animal instincts told him to do so because some part of him was sensing that energy. Have you ever felt someone looking at you or felt someone silently enter a room behind your back? http://mesacreativearts.com/html/sensing_energy.html the energy is the Holy Spirit.
In the creation story we see we were created in an entirely separate order from the rest of Creation, we were God breathed into life, must be total Spirit of the living G-d, and not "animal instinct", the world has us so mixed up with the rest of creation we are often deceived into forgetting our divine roots.
There are no accidents, He knew at the creation GG, Gregoryp, , I and others would be desiring to walk in obedience and be grown into the image of the Son.
Sharing what He is doing more often than not brings an increase is what and how He is manifesting His gifts in our lives, I can see this happening here through us.
Thank you Jesus.
Bless you all in Jesus name

My spiritual gifts are teaching,encouragement,and intercession! For many yrs. I taught Sun. School from infants to mixed adults,( this was also how God taught me). I was a mentor to a young ladies ministry,where we talked about their upcoming life and the choices facing them. I love to see ppl smile and be encouraged,life is hard and with all our choices there are consequences. I would love to help lift someone's burden if only for a while. People so badly need to know they are not alone in this chaotic world and that someone does care. We are to let our lights so shine before man. I love being intimate with the Father,I pray throughout the day and night. My greatest hope is that I can stand in the gap for someone else's needs,or lack of faith to strengthen their prayers. There is NOTHING too small or too big,or to shameful to talk with the Father about.

Yes, I believe the indwelling Christ is being let out of you, that is what marks the Spirit filled Christian from the outward form christian.
Jesus told us there would be some who would hold to an outward form and deny the power thereof, you are walking in the power he came to bring us.
