How Do We Get a Testimony?
We all know that it is easier to talk about a testimony than to acquire one. The process to receive one is based on the law of the harvest: “For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7). No good thing comes without effort and sacrifice. If we have to work hard to obtain a testimony, it will make us and our testimony even stronger. And if we share our testimony, it will grow.
First: Desire to believe.
Second: Search the scriptures.
Third: Do the will of God; keep the commandments
Fourth: Ponder, fast, and pray
