HALLELUJAH, thank you Jesus for explaining this gift. Now I understand more about this gift Holy Spirit gave me and why I feel so hurt when the people don't move on God as I've exhorted them to. It really breaks my heart and I have to give them to Jesus for me to get pass it. Then it happens again when I see them, lol. I'm continually in this cycle with them because my hope is that they will see their life the way God sees it. But until Jesus give me peace to stop with them, then I keep exhorting them.

What do you mean by people don't move on. Having the gift of exhortation means to encourage, being patient, not controlling, but a comforter and empathetic. It's important to discern whether you're thinking is true. Also it's very different from people pleasing.

@jennie612 no, no, no. Please don't misinterpret what I was saying. Basically, when I would encourage someone to do what the Lord has told them to do and they don't, but yet are still in the same condition the next time I see them, it breaks my heart that they are still in that condition because they haven't obeyed (or moved on) what they know the Lord has told them to do. If the Lord wants me to encourage them to do what He told them, again, I will encourage them at that time. But there eventually comes a point that I don't feel lead by the Lord to encourage them on that topic again. It has nothing to do with controlling anyone. No jezebels here, ma'am. If anything, I'm only thinking of a specific incident in the matter.

@@jesusbride3080 I apologize, about my comment. And thanks for clarifying it. I'm just making sure base on your comment about your spiritual gift. About your childhood experiences with closest to you (until adulthood) and relationship with God, where and when did you know about your spiritual gift, how are you so sure, I'm interested to hear more. It's possible that having the same spiritual gift is having the same personality and life experiences. Just curious. I apologize again about my comment and I appreciate your considerate reply.
