The gifts of the spirit are just that a gift. We can not boast like we earned it. It is the one of the great Gifts of life our creator has given us.

Original question.

"Do you exercise the gifts of the Spirit?"

We all do if we pray. If your are talking about the 9 gifts of the Spirit? Yes.

1Corinthians 12

Speaking in tongues. Tongues meaning languages.

What happens is an unction and movement that you can vocalize. The unction you know is not you at first you can only bring this out. Why? The Holy Spirit is a perfect gentlemen. It is not to be boastful because it is a gift not earned. I am amazed at the abuses I see on people who say they practice this gift like they are above others.

Just simple pray is just as good in a humble simple mannered believer. "A humble and contrite heart he will not ignore."

When we just pray we are speaking in the spirit without a doubt in any style.

I hope this helps your question. May Christ richly bless us as we seek him in our lives everyday.

Freeper Cheers!
