This is right on Sandra P.~the best teacher is the Holy Spirit... here's what I've learned, wait upon Him and its okay to make mistakes i.e. sometimes I get over zealous and am apt to lay hands at first on everyone, this is not scripturally sound and I had to "learn" the hard way... so you'll learn, it's best to stay in tune with the Lord always in much prayer and study through the Word. Pray the Lord to put godly mature proven mentors in your life, that you can glean from. The Holy Spirit has more wisdom than we'll ever possess and so I ask Him all the time to lead me or nudge me... stop me or send me. It's all a learning process and part of the anointing. You'll learn.. I tell you the gifts are powerful and you become so greatful to the Father for giving them to you but like True Flight said, you must wait on the Father's direction and the Holy Spirits prompting, you must focus on Him and not the gift. This is hard for many people, especially at first... you get so excited but learn from me and others and be patient, humble and keep in mind we are the Lords hands and feet. It's such a privelege to be used by Him !!
Love in Him
