Your faith is as strong as your trust is in God. You can’t expect mountain-moving faith without trusting the One who has the power to move the mountain—Hello! Therefore, if you want to strengthen your faith, intensify your relationship with the Holy Spirit. When intensity occurs, a bond begins to establish.
It’s good to know, or at least have an idea, of the strength of our faith before being faced with challenging circumstances. When we know our weakest areas, it guides us where to place our focus for improvement.
Below is a sample faith test. The entire pre and post-assessments can be found in the Paulette Talks Faith Workbook.
