I think there can be someone present that may possibly quench the gift out of fear or for whatever reason. I was guilty of that very thing years ago. I learned not to fear and follow after His Spirit. Some people get a thought on the interpretation and make the error thinking that they need to have more in order to proceed. Not so, you only need very little prompting and must have faith.
Sometimes God will give you more and sometimes less, it's by faith......

I agree. I think when you have been used, you recognize that feeling and become more sensitive as you feel after the mind of God.
