Faith is the fire that keeps every action in the Kingdom of God. To learn the ways of faith, we must search and pray for those key points. We can have all the riches of God’s Kingdom, all authority, and all power that is given unto us. Matthew 28:18-19: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Just as your physical body is fitted and designed to thrive on the earth, your spiritual nature is suited to be drawn to the things of Heaven.

Just remember, faith is a gift from God. The Bible is our road map, and if we follow it, we only need to obtain faith as big as a grain of mustard seed. Matthew 17:20: “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your

One of Jesus’s disciples named Peter had an eye-opening experience. Matthew 14:22-33 tells us his experience. Peter’s attempt to walk to Jesus on the water is an example of how faith
