test to find your spiritual gift

Just completed a test from MinistryMatters that shows you your spiritual gifts. They ask you to pray before you take the test. I LOVE that we can stop at anytime and at any place and speak with our Lord.

Here's my results and I have to tell you that I was overwhelmed when I saw my first gift. It is the most special gift in the world. A therapist once said that I had a survivor mentality. I know it as FAITH. I've always had Faith that God was in control. I don't even want to consider what life would be without this gift.

Here's the results:

Faith

The divine ability to recognize what God wants done, and to act when others fall back in doubt. Although as Christians we are all called to have faith, people with the spiritual gift of faith receive it in an extraordinary measure. Even in the face of barriers that overwhelm others, people with this gift simply have confidence that God will see God's will done. Believing deeply in the power of prayer, they also know that God is both present and active in their lives. People with this gift, by their works and by their words, show others that God is faithful to God's promises.

 

Teaching

The divine ability to understand and clearly explain God's truths, and to show how we can apply these in our lives. People with this gift enjoy studying the Bible and inspire listeners to greater obedience to God's Word. They prepare through study and reflection, and pay close attention to detail. In addition to communicating facts, they are careful to show that the Scriptures have practical applications. They can adapt their presentation in order to communicate God's message to a particular audience effectively.

Mercy

The God-given ability to see and feel the suffering of others and to minister to them with love and understanding. More simply, this gift is "compassion in action." People with this gift are called to reach out to someone who is hurt or rejected, easing their suffering. They feel fulfilled when they can show others that God loves them. They are skilled at gaining the trust of those in need and enjoy finding ways to comfort them.
