Using Your Spiritual Presents from God

As a Christian, who wants to grow in your spiritual relationship with God, you should be earnestly praying for the spiritual gifts that God wants to provide to the Church through you.  Once you have a gift, you are expected to use it for serving others, building-up your Church, and for the glorification of God. Whether or not you feel you have received a spiritual gift, as a Christian, you are to be an example of and a witness for Christ.  Thanking God always for the many ways He has blessed you and can use you for His glory.

"But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. 
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another,
as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God;
if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth:
that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ,
to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."  - 1 Peter 4:7-11 (KJV)

The gift(s) of the Holy Spirit use your talents, give you certain abilities, and allow you to accomplish much for the kingdom of God.  However, you are still warned to be watchful of the those in the world who wish to destroy God's people and there may even be people who mock your gift(s).  You must remember the gifts are for God's use and you can not be boastful about  yourself in what He has given you or does through you, rather than glorifying God for all He has done.  Continual prayer is required to stay in communication with God and His will for your life and actions.
