IMAGINE THE JOY OF KNOWING WHAT OUR LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER HAD IN MIND FOR US TO BLESS
THE WORLD,
AND TO BE BLESSED BY DOING WHAT WE HAVE BEEN CALLED TO DO, BECAUSE THE FEELING IS ONE OF FULFILLMENT.

This section will lose its basic purpose and understanding if you haven't read the previous pages,
SO FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DO SO.
BLESS YOU.
Be sure to study page 4 -- PLAN FOR PERFECTION -- when you have found out what God intended
you to be. Then you will know how you fit into the Body of Christ, and what is your opportunity to bless the
Body of Christ. You will also be blessed.
Please see the notes below from Alive to God before you get into the detail of this page.
I have received permission from them to insert their notes into this page.
BLESS YOU.
Another month has passed! It is hard to believe that in two short months it will be December!
This is usually such a busy time of the year and we want to assure you that we, together with our intercessors will be praying
for you and trust that God will in a very real sense 'carry' you during this last stretch of the year.
NOTES The latest notes are below. They deal with a very important issue. You and I need to be FAITHFUL TO WHAT GOD HAS
CALLED US TO DO! We must not try to be something we are not, but we must simply walk in the calling and purpose that
God has placed within us. We are trusting that these notes will be as 'life transforming' for you as they have been for us.
WORD FROM OUR INTERCESSORS One of our intercessors felt strongly that they had a word for you. We trust that it will be relevant to you and your situation. Exodus 14:13 'Do not be afraid, Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians
you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.' That was my prayer! We don't want to see the Egyptians (enemies) again. Remove them from our lives! Lord fight for all
of the ALIVE TO GOD members and bring them peace! Another prayer: I was really burdened! I saw someone imprisoned, boxed in. In Luke 4:18 Jesus says the Spirit of the Lord
is upon Me. 'He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners.' So my prayer was...........Jesus set the prisoners free.
Set those who feel boxed in and trapped, free. That's what You came to do, so do it for each person.
NEWS FROM THE OFFICE The ministry is growing! And the work load continues to grow at our offices. The opportunities to reach people continues to

______________________________________________________________________________________________ FAITHFUL TO WHAT GOD HAS CALLED US TO DO!
INTRODUCTION God has a unique purpose and destiny for each one of us. Within each one of us HE has placed something of great value.
Something that was designed and breathed into us, which was meant to be used by God to touch and reach others. At the
same time God is at work within us, so that what He has placed and planted within us can grow, develop and bloom into all
He intended it to be. Our greatest happiness can be discovered when we do what God has called us to do. When we are
fulfilling the destiny and purpose that He has placed within us, we can discover a place of fulfillment and happiness. We should
not become restless, discontent or dissatisfied. When we pursue what is not part of what God has placed within us, it can
destroy us and those around us. We should remain faithful to what God has called us to do. Be what God meant you to be!
TESTIMONY I have always known that God has placed within me the desire to encourage other people. I am an encourager at heart. In fact,
I do not enjoy confrontation. I prefer to encourage and inspire people, even though sometimes confrontation is an essential
part of life. If I operate in this God-given gift, it brings the greatest joy and fulfillment to my life. If I decided that I would rather
correct or admonish people, I would soon run out of steam and get discouraged. When I operate in what God has called me
to do, I thrive, I make progress and I take ground. When I do what comes naturally to me, because of what God has placed
within me, it is easy. It is not a battle or a struggle. I have discovered that the best thing to do is to be faithful to what God
has called me to do and to operate in line with what He has placed within me. If I do this, I am strong. But when I try to be
what God has not called me to be, it saps the very life out of me! When we try to be what we were not meant to be, it is usually
destructive. If we take what was not intended for us, we usually have to spend our lives fighting to keep it!
SCRIPTURE READING Judges 9:7-13 When Jotham heard about this, he climbed to the top of Mount Gerizim and shouted, Listen to me, citizens
of Shechem! Listen to me if you want God to listen to you! Once upon a time the trees decided to choose a king. First they
said to the olive tree, Be our king! But the olive tree refused, saying, Should I quit producing the olive oil that blesses both
God and people, just to wave back and forth over the trees? Then they said to the fig tree, You be our king! But the fig tree
also refused, saying, Should I quit producing my sweet fruit just to wave back and forth over the trees? Then they said to
the grapevine, You be our king! But the grapevine also refused, saying, Should I quit producing the wine that cheers both
God and people, just to wave back and forth over the trees? In this story Jotham was speaking to a group of people who wanted to be something they were not intended to be. They wanted
to take something for themselves that was not intended for them.
1. DON'T TRY TO BE SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT In this parable we see a story about not trying to be something we are not. How often we wish we were more like someone else.
Perhaps we even wish we had another persons anointing or calling. Maybe you wish you could just be more like someone else
and we end up striving in our own strength to lift ourselves up and elevate ourselves. In this parable the olive tree was asked to be
king. The fig tree was asked to be king and the grapevine was asked to be king. They were not designed to be kings! They were
designed to be an OLIVE tree, a FIG tree and a GRAPEVINE! Trees were never designed to be kings. Trees were designed to be
trees. Years ago there was a Pastor whom our family knew. He was a good Pastor who enjoyed Pastoring. But his wife felt he
could be so much more. She wanted her husband to be in the big-league! She pushed and pushed and pushed for her husband
to be something he was not. It eventually destroyed them, their ministry and their marriage. Be comfortable in your own skin, in
your own anointing, in your own gifting and in your own special purpose in God! Develop what God has placed in you and dont
try to be something you are not.
2. NOT EVERY OPPORTUNITY SHOULD BE TAKEN In the parable above, each tree has the opportunity to respond. In each case the tree asks the question: Should I? When we get
offered opportunities, we should ask ourselves if this opportunity or promotion is in line with the peculiar and unique gifts God has
given us. We should ask ourselves if this is what we are actually called to do! A better position or more recognition may seem like
something very attractive, but would it be the right thing and what would the costs be? Can we expect Gods blessing when we
operate outside of the unique and special calling God has placed on us? Often the deciding factors are things like power, wealth and
honour. Perhaps we should also ask the question: Should I? Perhaps we need to carefully examine our hearts and our own secret
motivations and intentions of our hearts. We may be risking more than we could gain. Judges 9:9 They said to the olive tree, Be our king! But the olive tree refused, saying, Should I
Also note that the Olive Tree REFUSED the opportunity to be something it was not, even though being the king would have been
something more than just a tree.
3. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE YOUR NATURAL, GOD-GIVEN TREASURES God has placed treasure within you. This treasure is something unique and special. It is exactly what those around you need and
are longing for. The greatest joy and blessing in life is to be useful to God and useful to others. Judges 9:9 First they said to the olive tree, Be our king! But the olive tree refused, saying, Should I quit producing the olive oil
that blesses both God and people, just to wave back and forth over the trees? Should I quit producing the olive oil that blesses both God and people? Why would we give up the very thing that was placed
within us that would be a source of blessing to both God and man? What God has placed within you was designed to be a
blessing. Dont underestimate what God has placed within you. The King James Version of this scripture says is more insightfully: But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be
promoted over the trees? There is something rich and fat about what God has placed within you. It is of great value. It would be unnatural for the
olive tree to give up this great asset. In the same way it should be unnatural for us as Children of God to give up that
special dimension that God has placed in us. God knows best about what He has placed within you and I.
4. DON'T BE TEMPTED TO LOOK OUTSIDE OF WHAT GOD HAS PLACED WITHIN YOU There is often a temptation to look outside of what God has placed within us. Perhaps this is just one of those human traits.
We always think that the grass is greener on the other side and so we are tempted to look outside of what God has placed
within us, assuming that something else would be better. There was once a story told about a man who worked with scorpions.
He loved to work with these dangerous little creatures and he would always try to save them. Often he would get bitten by
the very creatures he was caring for. One day someone came to him and said: Why do you continue working with scorpions
when they bite you? He responded and said: Why should I stop doing what comes naturally to me just because the scorpion
does what comes naturally to it? Dont look for reasons to stop doing what comes naturally to you. What God has placed
within you is a part of His very character and personality. What God has placed in you will reveal something of Gods nature
and personality to others. We must deal with the temptation when it comes. We will be tempted to look outside of what God
has placed within us, but when we are tempted we should even hold our calling tighter.
5. WHEN WE STAY WITHIN OUR GOD-GIVEN GIFTING, GOD HEARS US! Judges 9:7-13 Jotham climbed to the top of Mount Gerizim and shouted, Listen to me, citizens of Shechem! Listen to me
if you want God to listen to you! The lesson is that we should be faithful to what God has called us to do. The reward is that when we do this, HE will be faithful
to listen to us. If however we will pursue and take that which does not belong to us, we can get to a place where God does
not hear, listen or harken to us. This is for me such a serious warning. Dont try to be something you are not or were not
intended by God to be and in this way you will stay connected to God. Be something that you were not called to be and
there is a very real chance that you will experience a disconnect with God and this can lead to destruction. I once heard
someone say: If you take something that does not belong to you, you will have to fight for that thing for the rest of your
life! and then on top of that is the real likelihood that you will NOT enjoy closeness with God! BUT, if we will stay within our
God-given calling and gifting, we can know real fulfillment and a sense that we do not need to fight to hold onto what we
have and we can enjoy the knowledge that God is with us and that He hears us when we call!

IT ALSO ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL THAT YOU DO NOT LOOK AT HOW THE RESULTS ARE ARRIVED AT, BEFORE ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS.
THIS DESTROYS OUR INNOCENCE, AND GIVES A DISTORTED AND UNTRUE RESULT.
WE END UP FOOLING NOBODY BUT OURSELVES, BECAUSE PEOPLE SEE US CLEARER THAN WE SEE OURSELVES.
BLESS YOU FOR YOUR INTEGRITY.
IT WOULD BE A TRADEGY FOR YOU TO LOSE YOUR BLESSING OF KNOWING WHAT GOD HAD IN MIND FOR YOU
WHEN HE THOUGHT OF YOU BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.
Do you know who God made you to be?
He wants you to be a blessing, and for you to be blessed by living from what is deep inside of you!
Let's begin the journey to find out ---
We need first to see what makes us do the things I do - time after time.
As the scriptures below show, God had a particular destiny for you and you in particular, when He thought of you before the foundation of the world, to outwork in your part of the Body of Christ.
To be a blessing to the Body of Christ, and be blessed yourself because you are living what is deep inside of you.
4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-- 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfilment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. 11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:3 -14 [New International Version]
From the above verses it is clear that we have a Spiritual C.V., and all we need is a way of establishing
what is in our heart, and what Father God placed within us, and the way we do that is with the questionaires
below. These have been tried and tested since 1988, and always the people have said "Yes that's me!".
Every attempt is being made to avoid any form of pre-condtioning!!!
Only what is spontaneously expressed from the heart is real.
Lets find out what Father God had for you!
We will gather our results in this chart from the questionaires further down.

The Valley of Dry Bones indicates our placement in Christ in terms of our position in Christ. It shows our
role in the Body of Christ, that we are all part of. It shows what part we have to play in showing forth the
Person of Jesus to all and sundry; to create a corporate example of Jesus that people can see.
Motivation - understanding the four basic temperaments that are God-given in each individual, with a better
understanding of how the Holy Spirit can use them for God's glory - the basic inward drive which God places in
each Christian to express His love.
This includes the
Spiritual Motivation shown in the Amended Morris Sheats Questionnaire. [1 Corinthians 12:4, Romans 12:3-9]
The Temperaments indicate the combination of inborn traits that subconsciously affect man's behaviour.
Character is the result of your natural temperament modified by childhood training, education and basic attitudes,
beliefs, principles and motivations. Personality is the outward expression of ourselves which may or may not be
the same as our character, depending on how genuine we are.
Ministry - the opportunities of Christian service which are open to us for the exercise of our basic motivation.
God has placed within us a desire for meaningful achievement; the ultimate is knowing that you have a significant
part in a divine plan, thus each Christian has a particular and necessary function in the Body of Christ.
[1 Corinthians 12:27-37, Ephesians 4]
This is brought out through the Amended Hout's Questionnaire, which helps establish which direction we need to
move in.
Manifestation - the actual result in the lives of those to whom we minister as determined by the Holy Spirit.
Thus the Divine Plan is carried out through the Body of Christ by the proper functioning of each mans gifted
ministry and motivation ,sons of God, Members of the corporate Body of Christ, a supernatural nation
possessing the spiritual Kingdom of God ,by the 15 manifestations of God's life - the supernatural giftings.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We will start by looking at our Valley of Dry Bones, Temperaments, Amended Morris Sheats and
Amended Hout's Questionaires, in turn, which affects how we interact with each other.
VALLEY OF DRY BONES QUESTIONAIRE

TEMPERAMENTS QUESTIONAIRE
[1.] Choose the most applicable THATS ME word; first choice, dont think about it!!!
THE ENTIRE PROCESS MUST FLOW FROM A POSITION WHERE THERE IS NO PRECONDITIONING, IT MUST BE
INNOCENT, OR THE WHOLE PURPOSE IS DEFEATED.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY WITH INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM OF FUNCTION
INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM OF FUNCTION WITH CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life
for his friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command.
John 15:12-14.
INTERACTIVE MINISTRY ACTUAL EXPERIENCE OF MINISTRY
This is probably the least dealt with, and yet is the most essential understanding required for unity in the
Body of Christ.
Without this understanding ultimate unity is impossible.
The understanding of the relationship and inter-action between the various ministries is crucial,so that
we stop judging each other, simply because we see things differently.
In this category another aspect of ministry to brought in at this point is to show the purpose of ministry,
and that would be:-
THE NINE PURPOSES OF THE ANOINTING by Kim Clement
1. Anointed to honour
2. Anointed to sanctify
3. Anointed to minister
4. Anointed to see
5. Anointed to know
6. Anointed to do good
7. Anointed to rule
8. Anointed to preach
9. Anointed for victory
There is one body and one Spirit just as you were called to one hope when you were called - one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. Ephesians 4:4-7.
WHO DID GOD MAKE ME TO BE?
AMENDED MORRIS SHEATS QUESTIONAIRE
IT IS VITAL THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO ATTEMPT BEING MADE TO PUT PEOPLE IN BOXES.
THE FRUIT IS ALWAYS THE WAY, WE LOOK AT WHAT HAS BEEN DONE; --- EXPERIENCE SINCE 1988 IN
THIS FIELD HAS SHOWN OVER AND OVER, AGAIN, THAT THE FRUIT OF WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST IS FREEDOM;
GLORIOUS FREEDOM TO BE WHO WE ARE.
[1] This calling has been chosen for you by Jesus [see Ephesians 4:7 -11] so integrity in terms of your spiritual
voice [the response from deep inside you] is essential.
[2] You need to feel deeply about your answer, not just think it is a good idea to be that way.
[3] Where a word has ..................... the emphasis is on that word.
The question to answer is
Does the feeling Oh thats me, - rise up inside of me?
Is it something that never goes away inside of me,
most of all, is a burning passion inside of me?
Go down the numbered questions from 1 to 72 and answer Y = yes or N = no.
1. Do you enjoy communicating correction with and to people about and on certain issues that you feel passionate about?

Ephesians 1:10 in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the

Eph 1:11 in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working
according to the counsel of His will,
Eph 1:12 for our being to the praise of His glory, even those who did first hope in the Christ,
Ephesians 2:10 for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we
may walk.
Ephesians 3:10 that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly places , through the assembly,
the manifold wisdom of God,

YOUR HOUSE OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL STUDY
This is an explanation for the questionaire above.
God intended for these characteristics to provide direction and purpose in our lives.
God wanted to bring a blessing of peace, harmony and love to the Body of Christ for us, individually and
corporately.
Not so with satan, however, his intention is to pervert what is good. He does this by coming behind our
backs and uses our strengths to push us into excesses.
Let us look at how he does this:
A. People of the skeleton: If you said yes to question A above.
Strengths: Gods version:
They have an innate ability to bring order out of chaos. They recognize patterns in situations which seem
to not make much sense. Their purpose in the Body of Christ is to assist in bringing the scattered dead bones
in the Body into an order that can then have tendons and muscles attached to them to further put shape to
and broaden the scope of what can be done to bring that Body to life.
This is a type of Father God
Weaknesses: satans version:
Because they readily recognize patterns where others dont, the belief becomes one of seeing the pattern as
paramount above every other consideration. Prime examples of this were the Sadducees and Pharisees.
Patterns other than Gods pattern became the order of the day. Hence religion are fixed rules which have to be
obeyed above all else.
Skeleton
This is the weakness that people need to work on with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 23:27 Whited Sepulchres
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on
the inside are full of dead mens bones and everything unclean.
B. People of the muscle: If you said yes to question B above.
Strengths: Gods version:
There are 700 muscles in the human body, which shows the valuable part that muscles play in establishing
shape in a body. In the Body of Christ there will be more muscle people so as to provide for unity in His Body.
In the right environment they have the muscle to help with keeping the Body of Christ fit and in shape.
This is a type of Jesus
Weaknesses: Satans version:
If the tendons and muscles are not attached to a skeleton then the total effect is one of an amoeba. Basically,
the people are only able to flop around in a very limited way. The people are like a shapeless lump of plasma
wriggling and pulsing around, not able to accomplish very much. They have the tendency to try and keep on
uniting the Body even if the conditions dont support their endeavors.
Muscle
This is the weakness that people need to work on with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Revelation 3:15, 16 Neither hot or cold
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
C. People of the breath: If you said yes to question C above:
Strengths: Gods version:
Jesus speaks of the wind, and says that we dont know from where it has come from, and we dont know
where it is going to. The breath people constantly blow freshness into the Body of Christ, and provide for the
unpredictability of being, to confuse satan. One of the meanings in the Holy Spirits name is pneuma which is
breath.
If the environment is right they bring life into what is called a zombie --- the living dead. If they are walking
in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will enable them to bring life where the Body has become a zombie.
This is a type of the Holy Spirit.
Weaknesses: satans version:
Of the wind, and there lies the problem. Breath people live in the moment and are completely sincere in the
moment. However, they have a really serious problem with doing what they said they are going to do.
They make promises they dont keep. Because they live in the moment, what is past is gone. They will start or say
they are going to start programmes, but they fizzle or dont materialize because of the above.
Breath
This is the weakness that people need to work on with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 5:37 Let your yes be a yes
Simply let your Yes be Yes and your No, No; anything beyond that comes from the evil one.
Ephesians 4:16 Body Love
From him the whole body joined together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
The essential understanding that is necessary here is the fact we will be unable to inter-act with the other A, B or C types
successfully if we have not internalized the following two scriptures:
James 4:11, 12
Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the Law and judges it. When you judge the Law, you are not keeping it,
but sitting in judgment on it.
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge. The One who is able to save and destroy. BUT YOU WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE YOUR NEGHBOUR? [Capitalization mine]
Job 40:8
Would you discredit My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself
Acts 22:6-7
About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me,
Saul, Saul! Why do you persecute me?
# D. People of the skin If you said yes to question D above
The skin protects, beautifies and covers the inner workings of the body.
The skin takes the shape of the inner body.
The skin helps express the individuality of the body.
# Strengths: Gods version.
People of the skin perform a very essential role; binding, loving, caring and nurturing everything that appears to be naked and unfinished.
James 5:19, 20
My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Psalm 85:2
You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. Selah
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
The above scriptures encapsulate the heart of the skin people who operating from their strengths
# Weaknesses: satans version.
What has happened here is that satan has worked overtime to make sure that the people of the skin become wounded and thus
scattered inside themselves; the intention is to disable the skin people from doing what they are born to do.
This also could lead to a lack of focus and there will be little drive to do anything. The more wounds there are the more apparent, this becomes.
Matthew 12:30
"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
James 1:1
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
# People of the Skin
This is the weakness these people need to work on with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 4:16
What is Body Love?
From him the whole body joined together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
The essential understanding that is necessary here; is the fact that we will be unable to inter-act with the other A, B, C & D types
successfully if we have not internalized the following two scriptures:
James 4:11, 12
Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the Law and judges it. When you judge the Law, you are not
keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge. The One who is able to save and destroy. BUT YOU WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE YOUR
NEIGHBOR? [Capitalization mine]
Job 40:8
Would you discredit My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself
Acts 22:6-7
About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me,
Saul, Saul! Why do you persecute me?
The result of the perversion of our strengths into weaknesses is that we will start to persecute the others
that are not like us.
The result of the blending of our individual strengths and the elimination of our individual weaknesses will
result in a glorious 4th type of person --- somebody who is becoming Christlike on an individual basis, and
who is able, by blending purposefully who we are, to show forth the Person of Christ on a corporate basis.

RESULTS SCORING SHEET FOR TEMPERAMENTS
[1]. Write down 4 column headings P D M A
[2]. The person doing the questionnaire reads out the words again in exact order, and the people place a
tick under the column of the word they have selected.
[3]. Then count the ticks for each column doing 1 -20, then 21 -40
[4]. Then give a Biblical person for each column
P = Peter
D = Paul
M = Moses
A = Abraham
[5]. Collect results write down results for each person as they call them out strengths only. The Holy Spirit will
deal with the weaknesses in the persons life.
After you have collected the results you can have a brief look at the temperaments of the Biblical characters below,
although there is much more that can be shared with regard to the temperaments.
It is also wise to note that every person has exactly those aspects as given in your answers in the questionaire,
but while the overview is true, it does vary from individual to individual and also the varous mixes of the temperaments from individual to individual.

Fearful, Exaggerates, Loud, Egocentric, Undependable,, Restless, Undisciplined, Unstable, Weak-willed.
The Spirit-filled Peter
The Peter is in need of self-control with the help of the Holy Spirit. The Peter is the temperament that is
most prone to fall for the "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life". He also needs
Peace to counter his fiery temper and quick anger.
He has a real need of humility, since he is egocentric by nature. The Holy Spirit will help him become
concerned for the needs and feelings of others. His coversation will no longer revolve around himself, but around
the Lord Jesus Christ, and the sheep of his pasture.
The Christian Peter must beware not to go through life restlessly and unproductively, stirring up strife,
hurting other believers and hindering the work of their Church.
The Peter must rather let the Holy Spirit enable him to be the kind of Christian that helped Peter be the
disciple that walked on water.

PAUL
The Driver
Strengths
Srong-willed, Determined, Independant, Optimistc, Practical, Productive, Decisive, Leader, Confident.
Weakness
Crafty, Unemotional, Self-sufficient, Proud, Inconsiderate, Domineering, Sarcastic, Cruel, Angry.
The Spirit filled Paul
When Spirit-filled, the Paul will invariably produce a dynamic and effective Christian leader. His strong
will power, directed by the Holy Spirit toward eternal goals, make him very productive. He will 'go the
extra mile' in getting the Lord's work done. In fact, many of the great leaders in Church history possessed a
heavy dose of the Paul temperament.
The Paul must be careful to give God the Glory and credit for things accomplished.. Paul said, "Be ye
followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." [1 Cor 11:1] We should follow Christian leaders only as
they follow Christ, as He has revealed Himself in His will in the Word of God.
The Paul is the temperament with the greatest spiritual needs , but is often unaware of the fact. He is
often content to "do the work of the Lord" independant of the Holy Spirit. He must be able to say "I am
crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." [Gal 2:20]
The Paul is need of Peace. He will need to wait on the Lord instead of going off ''half-cocked'. He will not seek
revenge, but will let God be his avenger. He'll thus avoid the ulcers so common to Pauls.
The Paul also needs Gentleness, Goodness, Lon-suffering and Meekness. He will cause him to turn from
being brusque, crude and sometimes obnoxious, and instead be polite, gracious, and couteous. Instead
of ignoring his wife in public he will treat her with respect, and that not because it is meaningful to him, but
because it is meaningful to her.
The natural Paul is often admired and respected, but seldom loved. When controlled by God's spirit he
will have the kind of gracious personality that draws people to him on a genuine and lasting basis.

MOSES
Strengths
Gifted, Analytical, Sensitive, Perfectionist, Aesthetic, Idealistic, Loyal, Self-sacrificing.
Weaknesses
Rigid, Revengeful, Critical, Unsociable, Impractical, Theoretical, Negative, Moody, Self-centered.
The Spirit-filled Moses
When filled with the Spirit, the Moses will not just hear the cries of the needy, he will be available to God
to do something about them. He will go on when others have given up a long time ago.
The Moses is in need of faith. Things thought impossible are to be looked at with the power of God in view.
The Moses also needs joy. This will lift the depression off of him, and give him the strength needed to carry on
the Cristian life. Peace must be matched with joy.
The Moses who is Spirit-filled will begin to look less at himself and his needs, and more at the needs of others.
He will realize that God accepts and loves him as he is, and there is no one better than God in that situation.
If God be for you, who can be against you?

ABRAHAM
Strengths
Calm, Easy-going, Dependable, Effecient, Conservative, Practical, Leader, Diplomat, Humorous.
Weaknesses
Unmotivated, Selfish, Self-protective, Spectator,Indecisive, Fearful, Stingy
The Spirit filled Abraham
The Abraham will have the least apparent change when filled with the Holy Spirit. This is because he is by
nature calm and easy-going. He has the basic qualities you would expect in a Christian. Unsaved Abrahams
often act more like Christians than many Christians do. The Holy Spirit will produce internally the calm,
easy-going person that appears on the outside. He will also overcome the weaknesses of reticence, stubborness,
fear, indifference and lack of motivation.
The Abraham is in need of the fruit of love. This will give him a vigorous life of service. The biting edge will l
eave his humor, and he will be a source of pleasure for those around him. God will use him as a cheering calming
and encouraging influence on others.
