Could you give an example of when you operated in the gift of faith? What did God have you believe for?I've operated in this gift many times.
The gift of Faith most often operates in conjunction with other gifts.
Yes, you can earnestly seek any of the gifts.
Remember we don't operate in the gifts to do what we want, but to do what God wants.
Here's a fun one. Years ago when I was still fairly new to my faith, I ran video cameras for our service (that was a new thing back then). We were having a baptism service - 2 services - I was running cameras for both. At the end of every baptism service the pastor always make a joke and asked, "anyone else want to go?" (people pre-signed up for baptism). In nearly 20 years he had always made that joke and no one had ever taken it seriously.Could you give an example of when you operated in the gift of faith?

I was with a group of people I knew from my military days. We'd been to a friend's wedding. It was Sunday morning. We'd had a meeting in a motel room and it was time to head off. I had about 1,000 miles to get home and I had to work the next day. Two of the guys came by motor bike. One was in agony, could not even get up. He had a bad tooth and there were no dentists open on a Sunday.Could you give an example of when you operated in the gift of faith? What did God have you believe for?
My understanding of the gift of faith is that God can utilize this gift to drop in someone extraordinary faith that goes far beyond personal faith. Some might say it is needed in order to raise someone from the dead. If anyone has experience in this gift could they please share? I assume like prophecy, you can desire this gift. 1 Corinthians 12:31 (NASB)
31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way.
One of the reasons I ask is I believe God could gift someone to shut the virus down for a particular area. Our personal faith hopefully can keep it out of our family, based on Ps 91 and other scriptures. However, if the gift of faith were operating, God (if willing) could have someone hedge their entire county, state, or more. Any thoughts?
When this virus first came, I tried to activate God's healing through a prayer of faith, and sent an email off to our government stating "I believed, healing would happen". However, nothing happened. This is not to say you should not try, if it be God's will he can use you to do it.
For the bible does say "if you ask for anything, he will do it".
There could have been any number of reasons why he did not answer me. I would say start to pray, "God do you have any place, person, etc that you want me to stand in faith for".
What I have done more recently, is just privately pray "God heal those whom it is your will to heal right now, and let them know you are healing them".
