#1 Gift, Evangelism (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have been the prodigal son. Walking the dark path who better to lead someone back than someone who has walked a mile in their shoes.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
When you have been on the bottom you learn to look up. I’ve been there so Encouraging some one who is where you once were is second nature

#3 Gift, Mercy Showing (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have been given the gift of empathy to the extent that I can sense and, in most cases feel what someone is feeling. Like the Apostle Paul I have also been given a thorn in the flesh to keep me humble. I know mercy where mercy is shown mercy is given.

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace
