When faith is released as a gift, it enables a child of God to operate in an unusual supernatural grace. Whatever such a person believes comes to pass spectacularly and in an astounding manner. Though this gift can be developed like all others, and though it can be imparted like all others, many are born with it.
Gifts aren't things you work for. They are given by God's divine design. In other words, God designs you with it. After it's programmed in you, it becomes your responsibility to work it out.
1Co 12:9 KJV To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
In the scripture above, gifts are given by the Holy Spirit but the one that receives it must practice till that gift becomes mature through continuous use.
