as we all know our gifts are given to us and we are the tool not the master.

I do not know how many, but I have seen in Prayer Groups and such that there are some people that do let Spiritual Gifts get to their heads. When a person starts believing he/she is more special than others, that he/she is very close to God and like a God, when pride sets in, like it did to Lucifer, that person unfortunately is full of pride and on the road to self-destruction. Whether these are the Fake Ones and never had any gifts to start with I do not know.
But I have seen many people who have been blessed with many spiritual gifts and are very humble about it..they know these gifts are not for them but to be used in the betterment of mankind. They do not flaunt or force the FRUITS of those gifts on anyone. I have also seen simple people who live quiet lives with extra-ordinary gifts, My grandmother was a very lovely lady, and there is no doubt her live was one of great spiritual wealth. God will bless the most ordinary with the Gifts of the Spirit if that person is a person of prayer, love, faith and united to the will of God. Such a person will be a person of Great Humility, knowing and understanding, and being so humbled God has blessed him/her with such giftedness, and will never take away from God what belongs to God and will always give God all the Glory. Such people always let you know that here is no doubt that they have no power but the power God has given her/him.

Maybe we don't know how to use our gifts the way He intended. For instance, if you had a vision, would you share it with everyone or just those close to you? Are you supposed to with your church even if it may differ from thier beliefs??Anyway, all you can do is think about it until an answer comes that will help you figure out what to do with it, in the meantime driving you crazy.

Not all spiritual gifts come from God and people are easily tempted with fame. You know the old natural self that was crucified and died with our Lord pops up and causes problems as it is the essence of selfishness.

Did you know the phrase "spiritual gifts" does not exist in the entire Bible anywhere?

Miraculous spiritual gifts do not exists. People get to thinking that they are special and their vanity goes to their heads.

Because they forget that those gifts were intended only for them and not for the world.
