One of the most remarkable healing evangelists of the 20th century was Maria Woodworth-Etter, a fearless woman of faith whose ministry was marked by extraordinary miracles, visions, and manifestations of God’s power. Her meetings drew massive crowds and were filled with dramatic healings and supernatural encounters. But such displays of divine power often stirred opposition from both religious leaders and secular authorities.
Between 1890 and 1900, Maria faced intense persecution. While ministering in Framingham, Massachusetts, she was arrested for claiming to heal people—but was quickly released when numerous individuals came forward to testify of their healing. In St. Louis, Missouri, psychiatrists accused her of insanity for saying she saw visions of God. Still, the power of God continued to move through her mightily.
In Nebraska, doctors accused her of hypnotizing people and practicing medicine without a license. Maria and her team were arrested. But what the enemy meant for evil, God used for good. Secular media outlets, many of whom had witnessed genuine miracles, defended her publicly. Their reports spread the news of her meetings far and wide, leading to massive public support.
Time and again, opposition only propelled Maria forward. Her unwavering faith in God turned every setback into a setup for revival and glory. Truly, no one can stop what God has ordained.
Anyone making progress in life will face oppositions. Most of these are spiritual resistance aimed at stopping the work God is doing through you.
At such times, learn to focus on God’s Word. The Word within you makes you indefatigable.
Jesus said in Matthew 16:18-19 “…on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.’
The rock is God’s Word. When you have the word within you, no force of hell can prevail against you. God’s Word is what enables you to withstand storms, overcome enemies, and accomplish dreams that seem impossible.
With all the challenges lined up against Maria Woodworth Etter, she succeeded because she maintained the right focus; looking unto Jesus.. Her life shows that there is no opposition that can hinder a person who has God on their side..
Success often attracts enemies and open doors often come with many adversaries, but if you will hold on to God, He will always fight for you.
Whatever the enemy meant for evil, God can turn it all around for your good. Surely, God knows how to prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies.
The important thing is to always remain connected to His Word, because it is the Word that imparts faith into the heart and faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
Today, regardless of how contrary things may seem, be assured your greatest days are ahead of you. What looks like a setback will only position you for a comeback! What looks a trial will only end in your triumph.
So instead of fretting or worrying, use the time to give God worthy praise. Praise brings God’s Presence and when God is with you, nothing and no one can be against you. His Presence makes you unbeatable in battle and turns your obstacles into amazing miracles.
PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to praise You always and focus on Your Word, no matter the situation around me. You are forever faithful and I know that even right now, You are working out everything for my good in Jesus Name.
