The Anointing of Friction


As we step into 2026 and take new ground, this message reframes something we all experience but rarely understand: friction.


In The Anointing of Friction, we discover that not every struggle is an attack—and not every resistance is meant to stop you. Some pressure is actually God’s protection, shaping your faith, sharpening your purpose, and preparing you for what’s ahead.


Using powerful everyday illustrations and Scripture, this message challenges believers and seekers alike to stop fighting the friction and start letting it grow.


Whether you’re facing tension, delay, opposition, or personal pressure—this message will give you clarity, strength, and hope.


In this message, you’ll learn:

Why friction doesn’t mean failure—it often means formation

How pressure forges faith in ways comfort never could

Why growth happens after resistance, not before it

How God uses struggle to sharpen, strengthen, and complete you

What it means to develop a never-quit mentality in hard seasons


Friction won’t destroy you—it will define you.

And when you embrace it, God uses it to move you forward.

👉 Let it grow.
