Summary

In this fourth message of Identifying with the Psalmist, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the false promises of “peace at any price” and the dangerous deception of self-love preached by today’s metaphysical gurus. Rooted in Psalm 87, this powerful message reveals that real peace flows only from God’s unearned, unmerited grace through Jesus Christ. The psalmist, looking ahead to the coming Messiah, foresaw the day when people from every nation would worship together—united not by self-centered philosophies but by the cross of Christ. Dr. Youssef calls believers to stand firm on the foundation of Christ, to reject false teaching, and to declare His Gospel boldly to the nations before it is too late.

0:00.0	Dr. Michael Yousaf, inviting you to a very special place in God's Word.
0:07.0	This is a messianic Psalm because it is looking forward with longing and with expectations
0:16.0	and with anticipation the coming of God's Messiah who will bring even the enemies of God and the enemies
0:24.8	of the people of God together to worship God.
0:28.8	And I believe this is partially fulfilled and will be completely fulfilled when we all get
0:33.4	to heaven and we come to worship the Lord from every tongue and every nation, and every
0:38.1	race, and every language.
0:41.4	Thank you for joining Dr. Michael Yusuf for another episode in his short, life-changing series,

1:28.3	Now though, here is Dr. Michael Yousuff to begin his leading the way teaching from Psalm 87.
1:38.3	History is really littered with victims of those who bought into this idea of peace at any price.
1:49.9	Peace at any price has always led to war, has always led to pain, has always led to difficulties.
1:58.5	Peace without the cost of grace is not real peace. Whether we are talking about
2:06.7	peace at home between husbands and wives, or peace in any relationship, or peace between communities,
2:13.5	peace at work, peace even between nations. Peace at any price can only lead to frustration.
