THE CONNECTEDNESS TEST - HOW IS YOUR CONNECTION WITH GOD AND WHAT SHOULD YOU BE DOING WITH OR ABOUT IT? TAKE THE TEST AND THEN MAKE A MOVE
To "CONNECT" is to join two or more things together, link, or fasten together; to unite or bind. To "DISCONNECT" on the other hand is to separate or break the link between two things, such that they are no longer bound together like they originally were. It is to break the supply of something or to cut off from something. To be consistently connected with God is to experience yourself as living within Him, having your identity emerge from Him, and to grow in intimate union with Him. I call this 1) God-mindedness and God-consciousness, in that you are consistently minded about and living from a growing knowledge of who God is, and His proximity to you,
2) Self-mindedness, to the extent that you are consistently minded about and living from the truth of who you are in Christ, and
3) Residence-mindedness, in that you are consistently minded about and living from the truth of the fact that you factually live with Christ in God.
Therefore, it goes without saying that to be disconnected from God is literally to be separated from life in Him (“the God-life”), and this manifests when there is brokenness in one or more of these 3 elements that I shared above.
I know that this already sounds pretty intense, but consider that the consequence of sin entering into the world was death (Genesis 2:17, Romans 6:23) and death actually means “separation/disconnectedness from God”. Gasp! That means that as a child of God, you are not meant to be experiencing any “death” in your life, or at least, any and all disconnectedness in your life should be the subject of a transformation journey that you are on, whereby God is restoring your connectedness to Him in that and every other area of your life.
Consistent and sustained INTIMACY and CONNECTEDNESS with God is your right and inheritance as one who is reconciled to God, and if you are not experiencing this in its fullness, OR if you are only experiencing this sporadically, then understand that you are submitting yourself to the wages of sin, which you have been delivered from.
If your CONNECTEDNESS AND INTIMACY with God is looking solid, I praise God for you. However, I want to encourage you to reach for more, because in God, there is always more more more! If God has kept you this far, imagine how much more He is standing ready to do in and through you, if you would press in.
So, how is your connection with God? Take THE CONNECTEDNESS TEST, and when you are done, consider SIGNING UP for one of my Christian Transformation & Lifestyle Coaching Courses (

Test Score and Summary
I pray that this exercise has had you thinking through the extent to which you are experiencing and manifesting the lavishness of the God-life which you were created and saved to experience. Chances are, you decided to take this test because you have a nagging feeling that there is more to your experience of God than what you have been settling for. Chances are, your spirit has been raging within you, asking for more, more, more ... because indeed your spirit was created to enjoy delightful connectedness to God.
Reducing your connectedness with God to a number is difficult for me, but for the sake of giving you something tangible to work with, here goes:
If you scored 61 to 100, this may indicate that you are experiencing and growing in consistent connectedness with God. My prayer for you is that your connectedness with God continues to grow and that from your place of intimacy with God, you consistently walk in His purpose for your life, fulfilling your life-assignment and glorifying Him. Don't let this stop you from getting your hands on great courses that support and enhance your intimacy journey with God. Check out

and/or email me on
thenarrowgateway@gmail.com
and let's chat about about how I can help you to identify and make the life shifts you need to make in order to better experience and manifest the God-life..
If you scored 1 to 60, this may indicate that you might be experiencing disconnectedness from God from time to time, or even for most of the time. If this is you, I'd like to encourage you not to accept this as status quo. The life of God is ABUNDANT but you will only experience it if you are growing in intimacy with the Lord. I invite you to check out

and let's chat about how I can help you to identify and make the life shifts you need to make in order to experience and manifest the God-life.
