Spiritual gifts are just that - SPIRITUAL gifts. Their operation is in the spiritual realm. They are meant to edify the soul, the spirit, and the church. Carnal matters are the opposite of spiritual matters, and yet almost all the spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible are misrepresented, misused, and misunderstood, and then applied to carnal concerns. It is very obvious that most people are far more concerned about physical healing that spiritual healing. Yes, we are to pray for those who are sick in the body, but the health and wellbeing of the soul and spirit is much more important. It is God who heals ALL our diseases, and He does so out of his mercy, love and compassion, but never to prove himself or to increase our faith because that is not where faith comes from.
