Praise God for a the wonderful opportunity to minister the Uniquely His message last week at the Family Enrichment Week at Calvary Assembly of God in Dover, Delaware. I ministered three nights on the personalities in the Orchestra of Life and two nights on our Identity in Christ. The podcast of these teachings are included here on this blog site.

The first podcast is an introduction to Uniquely His and why it’s important to understand Who and Whose we are.

The second is a short presentation on the personalities as instruments in the orchestra. The Popular Sanguine as a saxophone or trumpet is popular and loud. The Powerful Choleric is compared to the drums who set the pace and the Perfect Melancholy to the first clarinet or violin who sets the pitch – perfect. The Peaceful Phlegmatic is compared to the French Horn – mellow and patient as it waits its turn to play the background music. But all are needed and lend their voice to make the orchestra complete.

The third podcast covers how to blend with the other instruments. When we know and meet the emotional needs of each personality it helps them feel valued and better able to operate in their strengths. People shrivel or thrive according to how well these needs are met. The responsibility and choice is ours.

Adjusting to the other Instruments in the Orchestra is the subject of the fourth podcast. Though we are all motivated to act certain ways we can choose to use the fruit of the Spirit to adjust our behavior in consideration of others.

In the fifth podcast we discuss Surrendering to our Personality Place in the Orchestra of Life. Stop competing and start complimenting by understanding each others’ design. Stop competing and start completing by putting on love. Stop comparing ourselves because it sets us up for rejection and keeps us from accepting ourselves and others. Romans 12:4-6 tells us “So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ’s body, let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be without enviously or pride fully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren’t.”

The sixth podcast covers honoring God with the offering of our lives as living sacrifices within the context of our personality.
