Save for Later

If God is in control, why does your life still feel broken, hidden, delayed, or under attack? In this 4-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to the inerrant Word of God and the life of Elijah to show that the Lord is never absent, confused, or defeated. He hides His servants to prepare them, calls one obedient believer to stand with courage, teaches His people to bring their “why” questions to Him in prayer, and strengthens faith through obedience and intercession. This series calls believers to repent of fear, unbelief, and divided loyalty, and to trust the divine Lord Jesus Christ, who reigns sovereignly even when life looks like a mess.

The Faith Muscle

In this final message, Dr. Michael Youssef declares that faith must be exercised, strengthened, and anchored in the promises of God. Elijah prayed for rain because he stood on God’s Word, obeyed God’s command, and persisted until the answer came. Scripture teaches that many promises are conditional, and believers must not claim God’s provision while refusing repentance and obedience. This episode calls God’s people to stop wavering between Christ and the world, intercede with specific and expectant prayer, and trust the inerrant Word. Even when life looks like a mess, the divine Lord Jesus Christ reigns, keeps His promises, and calls His people to stand fully with Him.
