Any Bible experts know what he is talking about?

I think the Bible says very clearly who "he who wrestles with us strengthens us."

I'm no Bible expert, but perhaps he is misquoting Genesis 32:24-25 where Jacob is wrestling with God/an angel/a man.

"24And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

25And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him."

This is taken from the online King James Version, but I couldn't find "he who wrestles with us, strengthens us" in any online version at BibleGateway.com.
