Faith means following when we don't know the destination and accepting when we don't know the consequences.
As I browse Yahoo, I've read a short lecture about faith written in the 19th Century:
Basically, men showed faith or asked questions in faith to get those miraculous visions and directions. Those men, picked as prophets and revelators of God, were given experiences above and beyond the gifts given to normal men in order to direct us toward God's will when it is most needed.
So with man also - he spoke by faith in the name of God, and the sun stood still, the moon obeyed, mountains removed, prisons fell, lions’ mouths were closed, the human heart lost its enmity, fire its violence, armies their power, the sword its terror, and death its dominion; and all this by reason of the faith which was in them
Had it not been for the faith which was in man, they might have spoken to the sun, the moon, the mountains, prisons, lions, the human heart, fire, armies, the sword, or to death in vain!
