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

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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit while visiting a revivalist church and coming to the altar. It was a blissful & loving experience that lasted 24 hours. And have had several miraculous experiences following as well.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Volunteering, attending various study groups and biblical classes at Bethel Church in Redding CA for 20 months.

Learned and practiced in prophetic teaching, hands-on healing and Deliverance/Sozo.

Have attended various Chrisitan churches to learn about the divisions in the Body and how bridge building is happening.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Spending 25 years in a Hindu/yoga community; helping to establish it, leading classes on mental and physical disciplines, pilgrimages, leading study groups & governing the organization as a team.

Extensive travels around the world and connecting with locals through living there and traveling on my own & meeting people

Meeting a variety of people due to my volunteer and professional experience. It’s helped me learn more about others’ life experiences & challenges; oftentimes beyond the stereotypes we’ve been told to believe.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Being in a family with addiction and seeking to become free from it through therapy, meditation and 12 Step programs on Co-Dependency

Leaving behind my old faith of 25 years, I understand well the disillusionment that happens when we start to see things more clearly.

Learning of my identity through Yeshuah involves releasing a lot of trauma and unhealthy beliefs stored within our body. It’s painful, but essential in being more fully His.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. travel to lead groups in emotional healing & breaking free from the deceptions we’ve been fed. Once we release these issues, we become more rooted in our Creator and His Son. Also sharing my and others’ testimonies of God’s goodness & miracles.

4. Living in a community to help grow food, study scripture and support one another in various ways.

5. Take a missionary trip to a country I haven’t been to before..
