Hi Rashelle,
I was at church and they did some teaching on it. The one story I remember is with Adam, God told him to name the animals. God gave him the ability, but Adam had to open his mouth and say the name. When Adam said the name, God didn't laugh at him. It's also like playing the piano, you may have the ability, but it is you who plays. God gives you the ability, then you do the speaking. After they asked if anyone wanted to pray for this gift, and I did. But I tend to be a pretty analytical person, so I was trying to think things through. I ended up leaving the church that night, but I didn't think I had received the gift. When I went home, I just started praying, first in English, then with my spirit. At that time, I would experience things, then God would open the Bible to me, and He opened Acts 2 where it said 'That which you see and hear is what was promised by the prophet Joel'.
