When ir comes to the gifts of the HS, if you have them, you will discover it. I knew I had the gift of tongues when I spoke in tongues, I learned I had the gift of healing, weakly, it is not a strong gift in me, when I felt the urge to touch a friend on the shoulder and they looked astonished and asked me what I did as the pain they had been feeling suddenly vanished. I learned that I had discernment when a person who I knew battled demons made a comment about a demon close by while I had a strange feeling that I sometimes had had before, a feeling that vanished when the reported demon fled. And over time I have been able to confirm that when I have that sensation, there is a demon nearby
what do you do with the holy spirit?

Give all you can and beg with much begging that you can keep doing it all over again.
To tell you the truth I look for him everyday. Not only in me but in others not only in the saved but also the un saved.
Not that he dwells in the unsaved but that he can bring about a thought or concern that one may express as a chance for me to share the gospel.
I make it a practice to meditate on Gods word in every task I do from plumbing, carpentry, to sweeping the floor or walking the dog.
Leaving the door open to any thought or deed he would have me to do to bring glory be it great or small to God.
I look for that small still voice or big wind....a word from someone....a un expected act of kindness to give or receive.
Comfort when I'm down....and a kick in the pants when I slack.
To me this is walking in the spirit.....he makes me conscious of my surroundings and people...there feelings and needs.
He never fails to remind me of who I am and to whom I belong.
