I am so riddled with frustration at the moment and have found myself asking What happens if there is a person who truly understands the truth? and iif he/she had the ability what would they do if they didnt want it? Is it possable to reliquish and andover to another this ability? if so How?
The gifts and the calling are irrivocable.
At first I was frightened by some of my abilities. Partly because my congregation taught they could only be from the devil and only be inaccurate. I certainly don't want to see things, preceive things and follow God as the first in the family to obey every time, but I always end up on the radical side of things and then later on the whole family thinks its the only truth God gives.
Most of my fear in this comes from.... 'thus says the LORD' I would hate to ever hear a word and not speak it. I would hate to ever hear my own flesh speak and say it as the LORD's words. Where I've been raised these abilities are not taught and no one has discipled me. From about the age of 30 I have had to learn and at the age of 40 God called. If one lacks wisdom of how to apply the gifts they are given they should ask of God and he will give an answer. Likely it will not be the answer expected.
I have been blessed with varification on many things. Little miracles to confirm what I heard from God so that I would not misspeak or mistake an action to take. There is only real peace in taking the path that God created for you from the foundation of the world. Whom God calls, he also equips.
I may not be able to speak boldly to evangelize like my sister does, but I could speak to anyone on healing herbs without fear showing hidden things in the scriptures that people have not seen.
