People have advanced a word of caution to those who supposedly go forth with their gifts as it may lead to an unhealthy situation of pride or self-righteousness.
Especially unhealthy for those also whose gifts teach the counter-culture of the Kingdom and have to contend with Lord Lords who are still of the world, and particularly those today aligned with Corporatism and political infighting. Their allegiance is only to the world man has made in our own image, while lip service feigns allegiance to God (while ignoring what God thinks of their world - Luke 16:15, James 4:4). What happened to Jesus because of His revolutionary teachings to the ways of man will happen to any who teach this counter-culture resulting in various forms of persecution, especially by their supposed own flock. The 'traditional' choir doesn't take kindly to those who sing a different tune.
But then Christianity (especially Gentile Christianity) has always been divided between those who follow scripture and those who follow the institutional religion which rejected the Kingdom/governance of God to re-align (thus whoring) itself with the governments of man 1700 years ago. It has remained so ever since among all offspring. So for the few on the narrow path of the Kingdom, yes things can be rather unhealthy.
