It is important to note that all the fruits of the Spirit grow within us to a fullness, and it is impossible for most men to be overflowing with the same to all men, but the perfection comes with letting go of the contradicting emotions. With time, such negativity stifles the flow of the fruits of the Spirit and within some time of this rebellion, one gets dry in the spirit. The principle also applies to the priesthood receiving the gift(Lev 7:33). They must be right with God.
From here comes the principle of laying of hands, fellowship, and watching who is laying hands on you. Discernment of the spirits of men here is important. Drink from your own cistern. The people can err, not because they were not right with God, but because those ministering on their behalf make an abomination of their offering by disgracing it(1 Samuel 2:12-17). We are all priests now we give other people the functionality of being our priests when for example, we seek prayers, we give or "plant seed"(which is a more committal form of giving,) e.t.c.
