Sometimes the only thing standing between you and your breakthrough… is mud.
This message by Pastor Duaine Johnson opened with this truth: “It might look messy, but your miracle is about to manifest.”
And that became the heartbeat of the word.
In Genesis 26, we read about Isaac—Abraham’s son—sowing seed in a time of famine and reaping a hundredfold. But the harvest wasn't the miracle alone. The real miracle was where it happened: in a land defined by drought, in a season marked by scarcity. And yet, Isaac prospered. Why? Because the Kingdom of God does not operate by the economy of this world.
Isaac prospered because he began, continued, and became. He started when it didn’t make sense. He kept going when the ground looked dead. And as a result, he became someone the enemy couldn’t ignore. But when you become fruitful in famine, get ready—because the enemy gets uncomfortable.
So what did the enemy do? They didn’t attack the harvest—they targeted the wells. The source. The underground flow. The enemy stopped up every well Isaac's father had dug. And that’s the enemy's strategy today. If he can stop up the spiritual flow in your life—your prayer life, your time in the Word, your hunger for God—then he can slow down your productivity, your clarity, and your authority.
But Isaac dug again.
He didn’t innovate. He didn’t rename the wells. He honored what God had already done. He reopened the places of past provision. There are spiritual wells our generation must redig—wells of sound doctrine, holy living, prophetic fire, Spirit-led worship, and sacrificial praise. These are not trendy concepts. These are ancient streams of revival that still have power today.
We must redig the wells not just for us—but for the next generation. Because if we don’t, they’ll be born blind.
In John 9, Jesus encounters a man born blind. The disciples want to assign blame—“Who sinned, this man or his parents?” But Jesus redirects the question entirely. “This happened so the works of God might be revealed.”
Sometimes the struggle you're in isn't punishment—it's positioning. You're being set up for a miracle. Jesus spits on the ground, makes mud, and spreads it on the man's eyes. Then He tells him to go wash in the Pool of Siloam.
It sounds almost cruel. The man is blind. He doesn't know where he's going. And now he has mud in his eyes. He has no map, no guide, no guarantees. But he walks. And that's the lesson.
We walk by faith, not by sight.
While the man walked, the mud dried and crusted. And in that drying dirt, something supernatural was already happening. Before he washed, before he saw—he was already being healed. But the healing was hidden until the walk was finished.
That’s a word for someone: You’re already being healed. You just don’t know it yet.
God is using the very thing you hate—the mud, the confusion, the delay, the detour—to activate your faith. He’s using mess to manifest miracles. But the miracle isn’t revealed until the walk is completed.
Sometimes your deliverance is in motion long before it’s visible.
We are in a time where people want the spiritual without the Spirit. Where churches want revival without repentance. Where performance has replaced power and lights have replaced light. But God is raising up a remnant—a church that still believes in the fire of the Holy Spirit, the power of the blood, and the authority of the Word.
This revival might be loud. It might be raw. It might offend religious comfort zones. But sometimes mascara has to roll, shoes have to come off, and the altar has to be soaked with tears. That’s what happens when God starts digging out the dirt the enemy packed into our wells.
And we don’t need more structures without Spirit. We need a move of God that shakes loose the dry ground and sends fresh water flowing again.
In 2 Kings, the prophet Elisha tells the people to dig ditches in the valley. They wouldn’t see wind. They wouldn’t see rain. But the valley would be filled with water. When they obeyed and dug, water came—and the reflection of the sun on the water made the enemy think they saw blood. They panicked. And God's people prevailed.
When heaven shines on your obedience, the enemy sees blood, not your dirt.
So stop judging yourself by the mud. Stop disqualifying yourself because of what you’ve been through. God specializes in dirty miracles. He made man from dust—imagine what He can do with your mess.
You might be blind.
You might be tired.
You might be muddy.
But keep walking.
Because every step is a step closer to the pool. Every step is an act of trust. And when you finally reach the place God told you to go—you will see what you’ve never seen before.
This is not hype. This is not fantasy. This is the promise of Jesus: You will see.
In the next 12 months, you will see what you haven’t seen in the last 40 years.
You will see your family healed.
You will see your mind restored.
You will see your church on fire.
You will see revival in your city.
So keep walking. Keep digging. Keep trusting. Your miracle is already in motion.
