A way to discover your charisms:
#1: You feel fully ALIVE within you
For instance, if you have the gift of teaching, you feel fully alive whenever you're up there sharing the word with someone. You're excited, passionate and fully awake within you. There is great satisfaction and joy in what you do.
#2: It has a SUPERNATURAL effect
A charism is not just a talent. It is not just something that you're good at. It must have a supernatural consequence. For instance - a preacher ministering to a congregation through the word of GOD, and someone gets healed or receives spiritual freedom - that in itself requires divine intervention.
This is the same for people who minister through music, prayer etc. The charism is used for the good of all man in co-operation with God.
#3: People have come up to thank you and AFFIRMED you for it
This in itself is the verifying factor - you don't just think you have it. Other people have actually thanked you for it or affirmed you for it. They can identify the charism in you because they have experienced the fruits of it.
