4-29-2017 – A Word to the Wise: My purpose here is not to prove what takes place in the womb rather to suggest what may occur. These suggestions are based on intensive studies of the Motivational Gifts, personality and the womb.

4-28-2017 – A Word to the Wise: Take the Mercy, this gift is slow to react because the gift filters everything through the emotional state before it gets to the intellect. Every feeling of the mother is experienced intensely by the fetus. This may explain the phenomena of some miscarriages where the mother rejects the pregnancy, thinks about abortion and eventually miscarries. (Cf. Abortion and Fears of Abandonment. R.J. Weil and C. Tupper, Personality, Life Situation, and Communication: A Study of Habitual Abortion, “Psychosomatic Medicine, 22:6, Nov.-Dec. 1960, pp.448-455). Because this gift is so sensitive to emotions it feels the absolute rejection by the mother and therefore takes its own life.

4-27-2017 – A Word to the Wise: The Prophet fetus will more strongly react to feeling on the part of the mother who rejects the child. The Mercy infant will desire to heal the mother, and attempt to calm her anxious spirit. The Server will attempt to distract the mother away from distressing feelings. Using this perspective, we may find some answers to some things that occur in the womb.

4-26-2017 – Thus, the gifts precede personality development and give direction to the personality. While experiences present the opportunity to learn. Even in the womb some of this may be observed. The passivity of the Mercy, slowness to respond, as over the Prophet with hyperactivity and quick responses.

4-25-2017 – A Word to the Wise: There are core issues with each of the gifts that makes up these filters. For instance, the Teacher from the beginnings filters everything through Truth. The Mercy assesses everything through the filter of pain. The Exhorter filters with consequences. The Giver through material value, the Prophet filters virtue, the organizer through loyalty, the Serve filters service. These filters strain out what is immaterial, and what is important.

4-24-2017 – A Word to the Wise: Let’s look at the Gift of Server. The traits of this Gift are physical in nature. Sensitive to the environment heat, cold, smell, taste, are traits of this gift. At the same time the Server tends to reject negative emotions. The purpose for this rejection is to intensify the physical ability of the individual. Suppression of the emotions increases physical ability and stamina. Thus in the womb one would expect to see increased physical activity for longer period of time. Exploration of the environment occurs.

4-21-2017 – A Word to the Wise: So, the question arises when may they be seen? And more importantly, what is their source and purpose? My perspective is they are given by the Lord to each individual and marks that person as His creation. There are several scriptures which assure this interest by the Creator. Psalm 139, Job 10:8,11; Isa 49:1,5; 44:2; and Lk 1:15,31 to name a few. So how do the gifts appear in the womb?

4-20-2017 – A Word to the Wise: My paper on the Motivational Gifts describes some of the individual traits of each of the Gifts so I will not rehearse them here. But these traits are clearly seen much earlier than adulthood.

4-19-2017 – A Word to the Wise: So where is this framework discussed in scripture? Romans 12: 4-7 sets the stage for the Biblical understanding of the gifts which it specifies as seven; (Prophet, Teacher, Administrator, Encourager, and Server. Giver, Mercy). Interpretation of this passage varies with scholars. My conclusion about this passage is that the Lord has given to every person one of these gifts. Some suggest it happens at conversion. This I outright reject because the traits of each are clearly seen prior to conversion.

4-18-2017 – A Word to the Wise: This then is the frame of the creation given at conception. Rather than the product of experiences, it is the frame for which all experiences occur and develop.
