Question To Think About If You Are Still Unsure Of Your Dominant Redemptive Gift
- What about the list of Personality Traits causes you to believe you are that gift?
- If it’s the Power (7 in the Spirit), do you SEE those things in your life presently or are they things that you WISH were in your life?
- If it’s the Problem (7 in the flesh), what are other possible reasons that those weaknesses could be present?
- If you are unsure about your gift based on the Personality Scores (e.g. all pretty much the same or several are tied), look at the Problem (7 in the flesh) for that gift. Which is most like you in the flesh (when you’re mad, wounded, etc).
- Ask God and give him time to show you
