The few times I have been exposed to the prophetic gifts I have felt nervous and uneasy. I have always considered this reaction to be on account of deficiency in my faith and my righteousness. I have wondered at times, but have relied on the spirit indwelling in me. Jesus is a trusty guide.
The few times that I felt that something in a service as amiss in the spirit, if I didn't leave immediately, I discussed it with my wife and my pastor only. Part of being a good sheepdog (shepherd's helper) is not getting the sheep all riled up ready to stampede for something that might be nothing.
Skepticism is easy. Believing is hard.
