can you describe how your gifts work?

[buildthefarm]

yeah thats a real question. or more like do you mind explaining how your gifts work? after a long conversation with an old friend this weekend about spiritual gifts, in which i told him things he never knew or had ever really understood about my gifts, something has hit me. i have only heard some insider descriptions of what happens during the opporation of spiritual gifts. for example ive never really heard anyone describe what happens inside during a word of knowledge, or the interpretation of tounges or probably some others. i understand to some extent my own gifts but even those i dont know all about. and what really strikes me is are there things going on inside me on Gods end that i am unaware of. is there something in me that happens and i dont really think about or dont understand or dont persue. if i knew a little more of what goes on in other people i think it would be easier to pick up on those things in myself. and i think that kind of info would help many believers.

i generally feel the 'rivers of living water' thing flowing out of my gut...burning sensation (prayer, teaching, tongues).
i'll get lightening bolt kinda thoughts or ideas. especially when i minister... scriptures, parables hit me almost faster than i can put them down, & when i'm done, i'm like, "hey, i was flow'in, i need to multiply this to help others".
songs stuck in my head.
dreams.
here lately the bible app on my phone has been coming on almost like how you 'butt dial' someone... i walk across the room holding my phone & it's on w/ scripture loaded that happens to match the kind of ministry i am currently doing (no coincidences!)

it's funny how i'll be turning something over in my mind...like talking to myself & He teaches or shows me stuff anyways... and of course...if i ask... well, it's like being under an apple tree w/ one basket & yet He drops the whole tree! i think if we really asked Him more things & then tuned into the answer, we'd be blown away, LOL.

i share about tongues & interp. in those vids i put up...but sure other people could share their experiences w/ a different facet.

and of course... there are things that have enuff overlap in confirmation...like a dream, a news article, and a scripture so i step out & release something prophetically.... and yet it takes some time/years to fully manifest...but when it does, it sure does feel good doesn't it? like taking the least spot at the banquet & He calls us up higher. some things just are going out on that limb because we know, love & trust the character of God...so part of it is a test!
