How do you stir up your spiritual gifts?
You are correct in saying, "step out". It's a bit like a child taking it's first steps. Bit shaky at first, but it develops. Don't be put of by making mistakes, we all do. Your mistakes will teach you what does not work, and help you get stronger.
I wrote a hub just recently on how my gift was used to bless another person.
They don't want us to self promote, so I can't include the link here.
It's called "words of knowledge", if you want to know more.
Blessing.
umm, with a spoon of course (jeje -get it "stir" them up with a spoon
).
No, seriously:
1. To stir up the gift, the person must be able to clearly identify what that gift is. It should not/ought not be a man-made talent, as that is not a gift, but just that: a talent/a knack-for.
2. Once identified, the person should go into silent listening with the Spirit, 3 days/3nights to clear the mind of "noise" and the body of resistance, so the works of that gift can be shown to you/in you.
3. Once revealed, the person should be consumed by the 'action of faith == 'anointing' (which will more than likely happen if the person allows themselves the first two.
4. Once the gift is put into action: watch over the seed, water it with good things, wait for the growth and the harvest it. When harvest comes, share that good fruit/its seeds with everyone --friend or adversary.
As the saying is fulfilled: "they will see your good works and glorify your Creator."
James.
I agree with seeker. God will reveal your spiritual gifts through prayer. When it's revealed, put the gifts into action to stir them up.
