How are spiritual gifts different from natural gifts? Natural gifts are traits we are born with and are typically passed down through our parents and ancestors. It is up to us to fully develop and use our natural gifts. We can use them for our own benefit or for the benefit of others and the glory of God, or we can neglect our natural gifts and lose them. But even though anointed, they are no substitute for the ministry of gifts given in the inspiration and power of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual gifts are a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit and are distributed as He wills or determines. They do not become our possession to use as we choose. We must stay in touch with the Spirit and receive from Him as our source. We can expect Him to give whatever gift is needed for the particular situation. But it is up to Him whom He uses. In doing so He will use our personalities and our vocabularies to express what He wants. (source: ag.org)
