BEWARE SPIRITUAL GIFT ASSESSMENTS

Your spiritual gift assessments being preformed in churches are nothing
more than a psychological evaluation to judge your value or character,
so your church leaders can decide where best to use you for their benefit.
Rick Warren, Bob Buford ( founder of the leadership network), and
Peter Drucker all believe that God used people in their areas of strength.
You must direct people into the appropriate ministries.

“The pastor, as manager, has to identify their strengths
and specialization, place them and equip them for service,
and enable them to work in the harmonious and productive
whole known as the body of Christ.”

Peter Drucker



This is the church leadership deciding what your gifts or talents are.
This is not God given. It’s the pastor, manager, not God who will
decide where you should serve the church, This is not from God.
For if you know God’s word, only the Holy Spirit can show you
what your gift is, not man.


11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things,
distributing to each one individually as He wills.

1 Corinthians 12:4-12


27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world
to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things
of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;

1 Corinthians 1:27


How church leaders put you into servitude to them, not God. With their psychological evaluation to judge your value or character to serve their will.
This assessment will help them to determent where to use you, what they
require your giving to be, and to train you to judge those who won’t bow to
their demands. Here is just an example of the psychological test.
My comments in parentheses.


1. I am able to sense the direction God desires for His people to move and share it with others.

No desire toward it

Almost Never True

Sometimes True

Almost Always True          (Only God can move His people, not one person)

No desire toward it

Almost Never True

Sometimes True

Almost Always True           (Give us your money)

No desire toward it

Almost Never True

Sometimes True

Almost Always True          (Give us more of your money)


13. I am good at setting goals and seeing the direction a group of people should take.

No desire toward it

Almost Never True

Sometimes True

Almost Always True         (I’ll set your goals, not God. You work for me.)


16. I am willing to work at a task regardless of how simple or trivial it may seem.

No desire toward it

This is totally base on psychology, which has no business in God’s church. This is their way of assessing your ability or talent to be used by them to further their goals, not God’s. All their programs and ministries they promote can not be found in God’s word.

Only God’s Holy Spirit can tell you your gift, not man. These churches are being taken over by false teachers who through their vision casting, say they have received their instructions from God and therefore you can not question them and you must obey them.

The sad part is that some of these pastor believe they are doing God’s work, not even realize what they are doing is destroying God’s true church conforming it to the world.

It has become, who can have the largest church, the riches church, and who can entertain the people to keep them coming back to support their church.


Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word,
and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word,
and he becomes unfruitful.

Matthew 13:22


And do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that good and
acceptable and perfect will of God.

Romans 12:2


13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms
himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great
thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers
of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15


God’s gifts are distributed as He wills, not man.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for
the profit of all:  8 for to one is given the word of wisdom
through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the
same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of
healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles,
to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different
kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things,
distributing to each one individually as He wills.

1 Corinthians 12:7-11
