Spiritual
gifts do not come visibly, automatically, and immediately to all that
received the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught
that most gifts are "not visible to the natural vision, or understanding
of man," and that it "requires time and circumstances to call
these gifts into operation."
