Romans 10:17 - "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing, by the word of God." 

Jesus said, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed" (John 20:29).  Blessed means "empowered." so, according to Jesus, you'll have more power if you'll believe before seeing a physical manifestation.

For you to believe something you don't see with your physical eyes, you have to turn inward. You have to activate your spirit being. When you do that the part of you that is like God rises up and gets stronger. Keep standing on the Word, first and foremost.

The everyday kind of faith you use for living -- doesn't come from moving in the gifts of the Spirit. It doesn't come from seeing Jesus or having special visitations and experiences with God. It comes by hearing and hearing and hearing the Word of God.
