#1 Gift, Evangelism (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’m able to interpret certain parts of the Bible to things that will happen. Say 666 the mark of the beast, well it may not be 666 but a computer chip, or explain that 1 day to God may be 1000 years to us, or talk about my trials, i have no shame in my sin, be it past or present we are all sinners and we all fall short.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Everyone has a gift, sometimes they go astray from their potential and I personally know what it is like to feel not good enough, and to have someone encourage me

#3 Gift, Mercy Showing (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Mercy is a tough one, people need to pay for their choices, but not overpay. With mercy should come honor.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, 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

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
