Following God doesn’t always mean life gets easier. Sometimes the wind pushes back, progress feels slow, and you wonder if you heard Him correctly at all. But what if resistance isn’t a sign to quit? What if it’s proof you‘re on the right track?

Highlights:
“Resistance is often the greatest place for revelation.” (01:04)
“Often the confirmation of the Word of God is the resistance of the enemy to show you you’re on the right track.” (02:29)
“The wind did not die down because Peter came to Jesus. The wind died down because Jesus came to Peter.” (17:47)

Delays, disappointment, and unanswered questions can make you wonder if God’s still working. But His purpose isn’t limited by your timeline, and His promises aren’t canceled by what you can’t see yet. If you’re struggling to trust God in the waiting, remember: He’s still moving, still opening doors, and still working all things together for your good.

You can’t claim breakthrough if you cling to blame. People may disappoint you, overlook you, or hurt you, but they can’t stop what God has promised for your life. If you’ve been stuck in blame, comparison, or insecurity, it’s time to let go and trust that God is still working.

“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
–Romans 8, chapter 31
