Strength in the Struggle

Text Michele

Spiritual breakthroughs rarely happen immediately — just ask John Wimber, who prayed for 10 months before witnessing a healing, or Todd White, who persisted for over four years before seeing results. Their stories reveal a powerful truth: we sometimes have to engage in spiritual resistance training. Just as muscles grow through resistance, our faith can be strengthened through doubts, delays, and disappointments. Even Jesus prayed twice to fully heal a blind man, showing that sometimes miracles unfold step by step. So, if you feel stuck, don’t give up — you’re building spiritual muscle! Declare this: “I am getting stronger every day in the spirit and I won’t back down.” Share this episode with someone battling discouragement, and let’s push through resistance together.
