Day 11 — The Stretch That Precedes Increase

One of the clearest patterns in Scripture is this: stretching always comes before increase. God enlarges capacity before He releases more responsibility, more influence, or more fruit. Fasting accelerates this process by gently but firmly stretching our faith, obedience, and trust.

Stretching is uncomfortable by nature. It exposes limits we didn’t know were there. But God never stretches us to harm us — He stretches us to prepare us. What feels inconvenient today is often the doorway to greater fruitfulness tomorrow.

In seasons like this, it’s important not to resist the stretch. Resistance delays growth. Surrender accelerates it. When we yield to God’s shaping work, we discover that our capacity expands far beyond what we thought possible.

As a church, we believe God is enlarging our capacity — spiritually, emotionally, and structurally. He is preparing us to carry more authority, more people, more miracles, and more influence than before.

Stay in the stretch. Trust the process. Increase is closer than it feels.

Prayer

Father, stretch me where You need to. Expand my capacity to carry what You desire to release.

Declaration

God is increasing my capacity so I can sustain His blessing.
