#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (93%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have been shown mercy. And if there is no mercy then hope may be lost

#2 Gift, Teaching (93%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love studying the origins of Words as they were translated in the original language in order to gain insight. Because the Word is alive and breathing, God speaks to us differently at certain times on our journey using the same scriptures we’ve heard before. So being effective in teaching assures I’m not adding or taking away from God’s actual Words thereby allowing the Holy Spirit to move. I may not know alot but what I do know. I like to teach based on truth

#3 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Up until I was 23, I lived a life tainted with drugs and alcohol to cover up sexual abuse from childhood. Even though I believed in God and had gone to church all my life I felt dirty and unworthy so I stopped going. Then there came a time that my pain was greater than my fear to trust God. So I met a lady who mentored me and my spiritual experience was me on my knees calling out to Jesus to clean me and save me. Believing He died for me and God raised Him so I also could live. Since then Jesus has been my Savior and Lord…even though not all of my life since then has been representative of me following Him as Lord.
