It talks about gifts in the Bible, spiritual gifts, do you know what yours are? I've wonder what mine was and I still don't know. Serious answer only please. I guess I'll have to pray more about it.

If you are lucky enough to reach enlightenment ! you will find out what are they. Most of us live all our life not knowing our gift, or our purpose in life!

There are many spiritual gifts.
I have the gift of speaking in "tongues" a private prayer language.
I have also Known what was being said during an interpretation.
I have gift of healing,prophecy, word of knowledge, discernment,hospitality, and teaching.
The holy spirit will give you gifts as you need them when you need them.
some gifting stay all the time, like tongues, and some are offices.
as you pray and grow you will see them.
people probably already see them in you and are surprised if you tell them that you don't know what they are.
I always wanted to be musical, which I am not. I felt that if your gift was music and singing that everyone would know what my gift was...it would show easy. God told me that if He gives a gift, it shows to everyone just as much.

You are certainly on the right track about praying to find out what your spiritual gifts are. It's not always easy to determine. I feel like God uses me as a peace maker because I don't care for conflict but I will confront a problem to try and work it out. I am a very organized person so God uses that in my job as the church clerk and working with the church social events. I am a very emotional person and God uses that to make me compassionate towards mankind. Keep in mind, these gifts work only when we allow God to mold us and teach us and when we are walking in his will and we certainly don't do them perfectly all the time. This process starts the moment we accept Christ as our Savior and continues until the Lord takes us home. I pray God will show you at the right time what we wants you to do for him.

There are many awesome gifts available for believers. There are the motivational gifts in Romans, the gifts of grace in Corinthians (chrisma) and the gifts that Jesus gave to the church in Ephesians. It would benefit you to study the Scripture and seek guidance from your pastor. It is such a broad subject that I can't help you much in such a limited media.

You can find what is known as a "spiritual gifts inventory". It will guide you. It is like a question survey. They are pretty accurate. The best one I have seen is from the Church Growth Institute in Nashville. You can probably find them on line. Caution-stay away from Charismatic surveys. They "bend" things their way.
If you can not find one-email me and I'll dig one out and get the address for you.

I got delivered about 3 months ago at a Youth Conference and I got told that I had the gift of tounges and that them kind of gifts sometimes come with time. Sometimes it takes time to figure out what your gifts are. I don't even know that I know all of mine yet. It takes time. God Bless and I hope you finally figure out what yours are!

The fruit of the Spirit refers to the virtues of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness (meekness, humility) and self-control. When you display irresponsible behaviour, pride, expressions of enmity, lack of love, and other works of the flesh (Galatians. 5:19-21), you are lacking the fruit of the Spirit.
If you have been born again by the power of the Holy Spirit, you are eligible to receive the things of the Spirit of God. You must be willing to let the Holy Spirit produce these virtues within you (Gal. 5:22,23).
Yes i know what mine are. The church where i attend, handed out a quiz we all took to show where our gifts are.

You will spend a lifetime discovering your spiritual gifts. These you will take with you when you go to heaven to serve God.

My spiritual gift is to make rosaries. Seriously, it's not that easy. I've had friends how tried and, while they made a rosary, they didn't make it well or usable. So, I concider it my spiritual gift.
