Recieving faith and a sign from God; Just like when the Iron is Hot

       There are many questions reguarding faith and wanting signs from God. What is faith? How can I believe something without seeing it first? How can I obtain faith? God gave signs to people in the past, so why not me? These are all questions that many people have asked, and many more. Well I would like to compare faith and recieving signs to a hot iron.
       I was told this analogy that really changed my attitude: if someone held up a hot iron, so you could see the glowing white and orange, and said this is hot. would you believe them? What if you were blind folded? Would you trust and have faith in them? Or would you insist on having a sign first and having that iron placed on your chest so that you could know that it was hot?
       In Doctrine and Covenants 63: 9-10 it says: "9 But, behold, faith cometh not by signs, but signs follow those that believe. 10 Yea, signs come by faith, not by the will of men, nor as they please, but by the will of God."
       Then in the Book of Mormon in Ether 12:6 it says: "And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye recieve no winess until after the trial of your faith."
       That blindfold that was talked about in the analogy will not come off, no matter how hard we fight against it, until we excersize  just a particle of faith. Just by trusting in our Father in Heaven we are excersizing faith. Just like it said in D&C 63:9 " But, behold, faith cometh not by signs, but signs fallow those that believe." And as well, as it said in D&C 63:10, we will not recieve signs by our will but by only  the Lords will, will we recieve any answere.
       Going back to Ether 12:6 it says "... wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye recieve no witness until after the trial of your faith." AFTER we excersize some faith and believe in Heavenly Father and his prophet, in which he has called, then shall He take that blindfold from us and show us the glowing of the iron rod that is set before us.
       It is my testimony that those who are asking any of these questions, or ones like it, that they dont wait for that hot iron to be pressed on their chest. Pray to our Father in Heaven and open your heart unto him. He is here for us and he loves each of us. I have done this very thing and I have had the blindfold taken off. I know that God lives and that His son, Jesus Christ, is my savior. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is His true and living church. I know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God and  that Thomas S. Monson is the acting Prophet today. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
