You cannot push a button or flip a switch and operate a gift of the Spirit. They only operate as the Spirit wills.
This is the first time I have heard a gift describe as you have here. Do you have a specific scripture you are thinking of to cause you to believe this? Most folks I know believe you possess those gifts.

Any body who has the Holy Ghost, can be used to operate in one or all of the gifts of the Spirit, if he has the faith; but, it is the Holy Ghost who is really operating them. (
I Cor 12:3-11) No one can operate them at their own will. We are instructed in
(Rom 12:6) to exercise the gifts according to the proportion of faith. For example: It doesn't take a lot of faith for most of us to speak with tongues, but it takes a bit more faith to interpret that tongue.
