Hi Daniel.
My spiritual gift is encouragement is the form of mercy. My husbands gift is compassion in the form of mercy.
We use these gifts to bless those who are the least of these and are less fortunate by giving rides to and from church, befriending these people and I also have a intercessory prayer ministry in which I pray for many intentions in addition a letter writing ministry to encourage others.
My husband witnesses about the Lord and wants to see people saved. My mission statement is to love, encourage and share joy to those around me and my husbands is to love encourage and share Christ to those around me.
We use our gifts to edify the body of Christ our family and friends and those who are not yet Christians.

I don't understand why you have focused your question just on Christians. Why not Muslims and people of ALL faiths? As a Christian, I believe that we have all been given something special, regardless of our faith. Everyone in the world has something special to offer those around them.
My personal "gift" is the ability to relate with children. I work in an ER where this gift comes in quite handy at times. The children who come in are scared and do not know what is going on. I am able to calm them down and talk with them and learn their fears and help our nurses and doctors understand what the child is feeling. I feel there is serious truth to the phrase "the closest thing to Heaven is a child". And in doing what I do, I feel I am glorifying God.

Prayer and working with the children in my church. I have prayed so much throuhg all of the things that are going on in my life and the lives of others it's become natural and through most of my day even in conversion I am praying. I have a natural gift for wokin with kids so I plan to start a Christian based learning center and Daycare somewhere in the near future like the next 6-10 years

I believe it is spiritual discernment. And I pray the Lord will give me wisdom in all things- so that I may know what is always of Him and what isn't. If I know something is not of Him- I do not take part in it....If I feel conviction over it, or sense something "wrong or evil" about it....I will tell my children the same, when they are wanting to be involved in something I know they shouldn't be- no matter how innocent it is- there are many traps the devil sets up....and he can lure anyone with things that look good on the outside but they are rotten and lead to destruction in the inside. That is why I love Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide that leads to destruction and many are those who enter by it- but the gate is narrow that leads to life and few are those who find it"

Hello. I think that the number of christains today with spiritual gifts is relatively small. This is why the church as a whole is not very strong. But I believe that God will bring a revival to the church and then you will see many christians with the gifts of the Spirit. Sorry for those who answered your question rudely. They just don't see Jesus.
God Bless.

One of my gifts is my voice. I sing in my church choir. I also seem to have the gift of "listening" and offering good advice. I'm the one all my friends come to to vent or ask for help or advice. I offer a shoulder to cry on and compassionate answers based on Biblical principles.

My spiritual gift is loving and caring for others. To use it God had called me to be a nurse. So, I work with the elderly, loving and caring for them with all my heart.

My gift is being able to preach. Just that glorifies the Lord.

If God exist then the best way to glorify him would be to love your fellow man and try to be the best person you can be.
