Summary

In this sobering message from Psalm 129, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that God’s people have always faced oppression—but never defeat. From Israel’s suffering in Egypt to the cross of Christ, Scripture proves that Satan’s attacks cannot overturn God’s purposes. Dr. Youssef affirms the full authority of God’s Word, the divinity and victory of Jesus Christ, and the certainty of final judgment. He calls the Church to repent of compromise, reject false compassion, and intercede with bold, Biblical prayers—for the salvation of enemies and the restraint of evil. As this series presses forward, believers are urged to stand firm, speak Truth without fear, and trust that victory belongs to Christ alone. If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support. https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at: https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way: https://www.ltw.org/donate
