In this eight-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef traces Abraham’s journey of faith and shows that true faith is marked by obedience, repentance, courage, truth, and total surrender to God. Through Abraham’s victories, failures, and testing, this series calls believers to trust the inerrant Word of God, reject compromise, intercede with urgency, and fix their eyes on Jesus Christ, the promised Son through whom God fulfills His covenant purposes.

In Part 5 of The Journey of Faith, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that disobedience always leads to spiritual stagnation. Abraham and Sarah tried to force God’s promise through human effort, and the result was strife, heartache, and years of silence. Yet the Lord, El Shaddai, did not abandon His servant. He came again with mercy, called Abraham to walk blamelessly, and renewed His covenant promise. Scripture is clear and without error: God does not need our schemes, only our obedience. This message points to Jesus Christ, the divine Lord who fulfills every promise. Believers must repent of self-will, listen for God’s voice, and intercede faithfully for His Kingdom purposes.
