You have faith. Increase it by rooting and establishing yourself in His love. Eph 3:17.

He is 100% and more towards you and will withhold no good thing from you.

If it comes from a good seed, planted in good soil, it will grow.

I agree. Recognizing the true divine nature of God who IS LOVE, and increasingly reflecting that nature ROOTS/establishes us. 2 Peter 1 comes to mind:

3His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

5For this very reason, make every effort to
supplement your faith
with virtue,and virtue
with knowledge, 6and knowledge
with self-control, and self-control
with steadfastness, and steadfastness
with godliness, 7and godliness
with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection
with love.

8For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The pinaccle of faith is LOVE because that is the Divine Nature.

Recognize --have faith in, trust -- God's love, and put that faith into practice.

Go to church, volunteer at church, read religious books, watch religious TV, and do research. The Holy Spirit will do the rest.

A way to get Heaven attention to get more faith and to grow and even have calling from the Lord For His purposes is to STOP SINNING this will get Heaven attention because Jesus will have to do that for you and protect you from the adversary who will put more sin on you....... But you must do what Jesus tell you and know what spirit Jesus Spirit is , one way is to get the spirit to confess ``Jesus is Lord ``...... See in revival people can get pruned in the spirit and can grow in the Lord ...were pruning means that Jesus will have more authority in your life and the devil will have less authority in your life ..... which means you will have to know the wiles of the devil and keep him away through faith in Jesus Words ...... there are many Healing Preachers who only trust is the faith of Jesus through being bold in their works of the Lord ... but are very poor in discernment of spirits and are limited in their growth in their relationship with Jesus ....Be Blessed In Christ.......

Go into your room by yourself. Pray... cry out to God for it. Then do some worshipping and read the teachings of Yahushua the Messiah.

...and then do some more praying!

Well, you could try abandoning logic, reason and common sense.
