  In fact,   1 Corinthians 12:7   seems to indicate that spiritual gifts are one of the manifestations, or indicators, of the Holy Spirit’s presence in the life of the believer. Galatians 5:22-23  tells us about the fruit of the Spirit, which are behavior patterns that result from the presence of the Holy Spirit in the believer… Love Joy Peace Forbearance (Patience) Kindness Goodness Faithfulness Gentleness Self-control On the other hand, the Bible passages that tell about spiritual gifts are referring to capacities given for service for Christ in the life of the believer.  How many Spiritual Gifts are there?  More than 18.

 In Judges 21, men came to the house with intentions to rape a guest and both times the homeowner offers up his virgin daughter (and this time a concubine wife) instead of them raping his male house guest.  This happens in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah too. 

 Judges 10: 16  Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the  Lord .  And he could bear Israel’s misery  no longer.

Don’t get too caught up in trivial or less important things.   Psalm 46:10 Luke 10:38-42 1 Corinthians 14:33

Lack of devotion to God 2. Lack of prayer 3. Lack of nourishment (man cannot live on bread alone but by every word that comes from God) Let us not become weary in doing good. Doing good how we should live in the Christian life by loving neighbors as ourselves. Also a lack of success causes fatigue.

 1 Timothy 4 Hebrews 11:6, 10:23 John 5:24 Daniel 2:14 Daniel 1:8 Ephesians 4:15-17, 25, 29-32 1 Corinthians 12:11 (and just the chapter) Matthew 5:33 Matthew 5:37 Let your yes be yes Psalms 68:18 Acts 6 Speak the truth in a loving way. Manage anger constructively. Provide for yourself in a generous way. Edit your words in an edifying way.
