Faith is designed to produce result. Otherwise, after a while, ppl wouldn't believe in it anymore. That's why there are three main ones, and MANY subsets of all of those. It just depends on which one fits the individual and how much they believe and how long they are willing to.

Most people are in 'it' (it being just about any programme, religion, faith, system) for something.Seems almost instinctive.

And this instinct is backed up by most of the major religions today, even those prescribing acute denial of material goods - there is always a promise of reward/result in this or the other life.

Of course if you are asking why your grades or stock options are not performing despite repeated prayers and donations, then we have to reexamine the small print (holy literature) to see if we have been misled by the salesman (fake fakir, pseudo preacher)

So in short, yes, expect results from your faith, just make sure your expectations are aligned with what was promised.

not only is it alright to expect our faith to get results but its God's word that with the faith the size of a mustard seed it can move mountains in other words with faith in God it can show results of what we are needing to have done for us.

No you are right to expect your faith to give you results. its called expectant faith. you pray to God about something and when you are finished you know that He will answer your prayer in a way that will glorify His name.

BELIEF IS TRUST AND TRUST IS FAITH
“WE TRUST IN GOD” MEANS WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF FAITH IN GOD.

Generally, faith is what you believe, even if you do not believe in believing it will be called your faith. In the world of faith, no one is a non-believer except those who declare themselves as Non-believers of One Alone GOD, by act or by word.
To understand faith, you must understand love. Love is a feeling, which keeps on changing and shivering. Sometimes it is minimized and sometimes it is maximized. To get balanced feeling, one needs to say “I love you” to express love and all those who are in love, keep on saying ”I love you” to assure their love, time to time and moment to moment as much as the feeling demands and feeling depends upon the potence of ones love.
As you know, just saying “I love you” cannot cause peace of heart but much more is desired to convey love and to gain satisfaction. Then gifts to show love are given to the beloveds and then time and services both are rendered to the beloveds to prove loyalty of love.
If you understand what a real love is, then you can easily understand the real faith in GOD because faith in GOD is same as one’s love and to balance the soul and body everyone needs to perform the same things which are performed in love such as by saying:
“There is no god but One Alone GOD, our Lord.”
“No one is good but One Alone GOD, our Lord.”
“There is no one who is our saviour but One Alone
GOD, the saviour of all.”
And that is not enough, one must keep on thanking GOD, Praising GOD, Serving GOD and Worshipping GOD with all of one’s heart, with all of one’s soul, with all of one’s energy and to prove one’s loyalty, one must follow the commandments of GOD our Lord. If one will do all what is required in love for the faith in GOD, one will be declared as the real servant of GOD our Lord and all acts of one will prove that one honourd one’s GOD our Lord and that is what one requires for salvation.
Please keep in mind:
1- Those who act against the commandments of GOD are sinners.
2- Sinners do not honour their GOD their Lord.
3- Those who do not honour their GOD their Lord are enemies of GOD the Lord of all.
4- Enemies of GOD the Lord of all will be punished here and will be thrown in hell there, after the judgment.
Beware please, the devil calls towards sins and saviours, a way not shown by the GOD through testaments and commandments.
“READ THOSE WHO HAVE EYES WITH VISION”

Faith is same for all religions and religions are the ways to follow the commandments of our GOD our Lord and the religions are the teachings to perform the acts according to the revealed books by the GOD our Lord through norms as taught by the messengers of GOD and there is no religion which teaches to perform bad deeds, commit sins and crimes except those which are Satan led.
Difference between faith and religion is simple. Faith, according to the teachings is:
1- Believe in GOD as One Alone and Only GOD.
2- Acceptance of the commandments of GOD for acts.
3- Keeping in view the Day of Judgment before and after the performance of acts.
The real religion is, in which performance of the faith is not a problem at all.
Every faith other than the faith taught by God is blind and every religion which leads to saviours and gods other than GOD is false. Blind faith and false religions will lead people to the fire of hell.
Whosoever trusts in GOD must believe in faith because faith is a concern of the creatures with GOD. And concern is shown with the obedience of GOD and the most obedient is most concerned with GOD and the most concerned with GOD is a direct slave or a servant of GOD.
Obedience of the servant according to the commandments of GOD cause peace and blessing of the GOD. Because it’s not the servant who is mercy full but GOD who gave the commandments which cause mercy. And a servant can never be equal to the master.
Prayer or worship is essential to strengthen the faith and religions are ways of doing so. Religion is required by the faith because religion teaches how to establish faith through acts according to the commandments of GOD to be a perfect slave of GOD our Lord.
Faith in GOD is a feeling concerning the link with GOD.
And religion is a way to express it by following the commandments of GOD through different norms as demanded in the revealed books which different nations follow as a word of GOD our Lord. A real believer believes in all the teachings of the messengers of GOD and follows what is required through acts for salvation.
Life is blessed as a time of prayer
Earth is blessed as a house of prayer.
And all are equal as you see, every one have two eyes, two hands etc. And GOD is Mercy full to all and is not GOD of a certain nation but belongs to every one equally. And those who seek Mercy of GOD through acts of obedience of the GOD our Lord are the best among all.
