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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

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

[E]xperience

I attended Sunday school at the Pascoe vale Presbyterian Church where I participated in the PFA youth group. My father was an Elder of the church.
My Wife Kaye introduced me to Paul and Diepthan Lee Pastors of the AOG Hope of Glory Church in Prahran. We would go to church every Sunday the service would start and I would be slain in the spirit for a good part of the service. In the 3 years we spent at Prahran my life changed completely, God was now in my life and I was reborn in 1997
In 2000 we attended Sunday morning and evening Services at Eastside Christian centre in Bayswater. We attended the Alpha Course and were baptized on 22 April 2001.
In 2005 we attended the deliverance Ministry of Fruitful Vine Church at Lysterfield. Where I was prophesied over to have the gift of discernment of spirits and an intercessor for cancer. I have a burning desire to heal the sick, comfort the downtrodden, and shelter the needy.
In 2005 Pasters Rick and Rozi Penny who were part of the John Paul Jackson’s Streams Ministries team moved from America to Australia. They are now Pastors of the Southern Grampians Life Centre (SGLC) Church in Hamilton. They taught the Art of Hearing God 1 and 2, Dream interpretation 201 and 202. Over the years we completed all these courses. In 2018 we began regularly attending SGLC. We are currently studying Cert IV in Ministry.

One night in 1997 My now wife Kaye was praying for me, this was soon after I was born again. She said to me reach out and touch Jesus, he is standing right there. There I was standing in the lounge room with my eyes shut tight praying and she was telling me that Jesus was standing in front of me. To a newborn this was pretty confronting, I decided in a leap of faith to do what she said, so I put out my right hand with my eyes still shut and feeling in the dark. My hand touched something firm and solid so I closed my hand around it. It felt like some one’s forearm and at that split second, I realised that I was holding the physical presents of the Holy Spirit and electric shock roared up my arm and just as it got to my shoulder I let go. I had been electrocuted a couple of times before by accident, my instinct was to let go before it hit my heart. I often wonder what would have happened if I had have held on. Every now and again since I get a welling up in my right hand especially in church. God has always had his hand on me all my life. He saved me even before I was born; my mother was forced into an abortion by my Grandmother while my father was away at the war. The Doctors aborted my twin brother but God hid me under his wing and protected me.
I know God wants to use me and now is the time.
