Faith?

   We all have faith in something whether that something is big or small that makes no difference, but do we all have faith in Jesus Christ? If we have faith in Christ we believe on his name and we show it by following his commandments. I have seen how my faith in Christ has lead me to be on a mission; i have always believed in Him and knew of the teachings but it was not till a while back that i fully had faith in Christ and acted upon that faith. By finally acting on my faith i recieved a greater understanding of how important it is for us to act on our feelings and not just say that we know. If saying i could lift that weight on the barbell would make me stronger and bigger then i would be HUGE! But it doesnt work that way you have to move that bar to get the results you want. Faith leads to action and action leads to results, if we are trying and truly putting forth our best efforts we will see greater results. 
                                                              Ether 12
16Yea, and even all they who wrought miracles wrought them by faith, even those who were before Christ and also those who were after.
 17And it was by faith that the three disciples obtained a promise that they should not taste of death; and they obtained not the promise until after their faith.
 18And neither at any time hath any wrought miracles until after their faith; wherefore they first believed in the Son of God.


This whole chapter is about faith and the miracles that happened because they first had faith. I know that if we have faith and show that faith by following the commandments of God and do the things that would be pleasing to him we can too recieve mighty miracles, it is not easy but that doesnt mean we cant do it.
