Can human give spiritual gifts? And ect...

Here is some revelation that I would like like to share, especially to Christian or spiritual brother and sisters.

Allot of us go around seeking for fortune, for people who "move in the spirit" and prophets or even those who move in the prophetic or occult (it's hard to different shade theses days with lots of new upcoming people who claim they are good and sent by God, but proved otherwise)

So thus begs the questions, the same ones that I myself have been seeking, well I kind of got the answer thanks to Quest's international explanatory of the bible and the revelation through the Holy Spirit:

What spiritual gifts can a human being give?

None. Only the Holy Spirit can give spiritual gifts (1 Cor. 12:11). But humans can serve to confirm God’s work in others—announcing or acknowledging their spiritual gifts (see, for example, 1 Tim. 4:14 ; 2 Tim. 1:6 ). Some, however, see Paul wanting to impart something more general, a “gift of grace”—anything from words of insight to deeds of kindness.

So humans cannot give anything of spiritual gifts, but can serve to confirm Gods gifts to other humans, or even acknowladge their giftings and tell them so it awakens. It cannot be depended on another human to "give" spiritual giftings because all the spiritual giftings comes only from the Holy Spirit.

Why can't we see or How can I deal with God directly? This explains it quite clearly:

"God is the creator and the designer of all things. However, sin has damaged creation in such a way that people cannot find their way back to the Creator without God’s special revelation of himself and his plan."

Here is some proof of this statement from Paul himself.

"5For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge — 6God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed."

So all a human can do is mutually encourage each other and acknowladge each others giftings of the Holy Spirit, because in Christ you have the grace and received all these giftings for He had "enriched us" with it. Human beings can do so like for example: announcing through prophecy by the laying of hands (Tim 4:14 "Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you.").

The word of God also tells us to test each prophecy (1 Thes 5:20 "Do not despise prophecies, 21but test everything; hold fast what is good."). The word encourages us and even boldly says to TEST EVERYTHING. Any spirit or prophecy that is afraid to be tested, or even tested deeply should be held like a punch of salt until confirmation and conviction that can only come from the Holy Spirit deep within.

How do we then seek Him and know?

This happens when we ask God the same thing that King Solomon did. King Solomon asked God for knowledge and wisdom, which was very unlikely any king would ask for. Immerse in God's presence by seeking him in a quiet time, with a quiet heart, in praise and acknowladgement of His position as God and somehow deep within the answer which you are seeking for will surface.

It may not be instant, as God is not a microwave oven and because of our sinful nature, it would be hard for us to seek God, as we have som much distractions in the world. Take time, and be willing to give time. If you are willing to make, give and dedicate time unto seeking the Lord, the same amount of what you are willing to give will be measured back unto you.

In other cases, there might be other things that are hindering and blocking your way/ path. I suggest looking for someone else who is matured and prooven about this topic to help and guide you.

I guess that's all I have to share for now, hope that it has helped and encouraged you. If you have any other views, please do write in and then we can discuss. Thanks :)
